The show is on tomorrow but I'm doing this today as I'm not here tomorrow :lol:

Synopsis from ABC

Wednesday, April 12 at 9/8c

"S.O.S."

Rose is surprisingly and vehemently opposed to Bernard's plan to create an S.O.S. signal; romantic sparks are rekindled between Jack and Kate when they trek into the jungle to propose a "trade" with "The Others"; and Locke begins to question his faith in the island.

It was a damn sight better than the last few 'slow' flashback stories (i.e sun's). Im really starting to lothe the 90% crap story 10% interesting revelation formula they are using.

But, as someone said before - The first series I watched more or less in one big chunk and it was ace - Had I watched series two the same way i'm sure these little stories would be worth the effort knowing you were going to find out exactly what happens next anyway...

As for spoilers

The faith healer spoke about areas on the earth where there was energy to heal, be it magnetic or other... So the Island is obviously an energy hotspot as its healing sun / rose / locke...

Kate and Jack substory was pretty good too. For the first time in ages Jack has become (almost) a likable character, and thank god for it too. For a lot of series one jack was top notch but all of a sudden was written into this 'im a wanker' role.

Locke giving up on the button is pretty interesting too, and what the hell was with Henry's face when Locke demanded to know if he pressed the button or not. Is it a double bluff so the button keeps being pressed?

Finally we see kate tell Jack about the 'other' hatch. About fucking time, that took what, 5 episodes to get 'out in the air'. Perhaps they'll venture back to explore it a bit more/uncover some more information.

And finally, Michael. Great to see him back in the show - albeit unconciously. He was obviously running from something as he looked terrified. My money is on he's ran into Desmond who gave him some information about another hatch then the others who scare him into running away with some threat regarding walt!

anyway, spoilers over. What did you think?

Not the best episode but does set things up nicely for next week hopefully. I'll keep saying it, the build up for the series climax is going to have to start soon. What episode was the hatch first introduced? I'm sure it must of been about this time.

This week:

I was hoping Henry would ally with the survivers but that manic grin at Locke's expense seems to suggest otherwise. It seems like he expects he'll be in a lot of trouble as / when he gets rescued so he's now trying to cause as much disruption as possible. Enjoyed the little Rose / Locke flashback :]

It would seem otherwise with next weeks trailer on www.lostlinks.net.

To be honest when I saw it was a Rose & Bernard flashback I thought 'we really don't need this' but I do actually think that it confirmed a few theories and was quite a nice episode...

I think you need to remember that the whole idea of a show like this is to drip feed bits and pieces to keep you coming back for more and then hit you with a relatively action-packed finale that still poses loads of questions for the next season.

The new trailer looks really good. Pity it's a fortnight away.

And I think Tracer's spoilered comment is on the money for sure.

What does everyone think of the idea that "Henry Gale" isnt an other - he is a member of a group that is spying on, or a rival to, the others? It would explain why he is so scared of them finding out anything about him, and so scared of "him".

The only problem with it that I can think of, is that surely if that was true then Henry would be desperate to make sure "they" didn't find out he was there, and had been captured.

They keep teasing...show me more about the Island, bunkers and button!

So, what does everyone think the deal is with Locke? He knows much more than he's letting on, surely?

What about that part where locke is out on the beach and Rose is talking to him about his broken leg. Went something like:

Locke: "Jack reckons it should take 4-5 weeks to heal"

Rose: "We both know it won't take that long..."

Then they share a look, like they know some reason why it wouldn't. Could they know more than everyone about the Island?

Yeh. That's the bit that reminded me about Locke. He's probably God or something :) He's my fav character, anyway.

Because Rose knows Locke was in a wheel chair before the crash, just as she had cancer. Basically she and he both know of the healing qualities of the island.

I thought it was a really good episode.

Exactly what I thought at the start, and then the flashback gave a (rarely) direct explaination.

What is Eko (and Charlie?!) building a church for? Pfftt.

Really looking forward to Michael's story, I think the episodes have been pretty good so far.

Droo, it's Jin who was infertile, not Sun. Did you notice Sun's worried face near the end of the episode? She still might have cheated on Jin. Or the island cured him. *shrug*

I thought it was ok overall. There was some reasonable exposition on a lot of the important fronts, especially Locke.

We just need them to not press the damn button! And for the bloody black smoke monster to put in an appearance again.

Actually theres something that (for me) is completely brilliant and tucked away in it..

cue massive theorising..

They state that some people on the internet have got as close as they need to be to the 100% right theory behind lost...before shooting off on a crazy tangent. Now iv read most of these theories and the main points across them all:

quantum physics related japery,

the magnetic field on the isand,

the losties having had their memories of the plane crash implanted and waking up on a constructed 'set' of a crash

the 'others' being the team of workers behind the goings on, keeping up an illusion of being dirty island dwellers

the losties presense on the island being pre-engineered by dharma for years to fulfill specific roles on the island...so they would create a civilisation amongst themselves organically (bad people like sawyer, a doctor, a fisherman etc)

Im so pleased by that little statement that im content to just let it unfold now. The story arc will be the resolving of the number input, slow discovery of its implications, slow occasional contact with the others, the eventual recovery of walt, finding out what theyre doing with the children, finding out the master plan behind it all, finding out the reason the scientists are doing what theyre doing. breathe. questioning the morality behind such events...attempting to escape from the situation...some casualties and suprises along the way.

Then eventually a select few of the losties using their accumulated knowledge to thwart their use as pawns in the plan and escape. cue select survivors finding the islands escape facilities (boat, plane, whatever) and leaving. shot of the island in the background either exploding, or seeing the magnetic activity.

final scene: maybe a couple of survivors reading about a plane going missing while sitting in their home many years later and realising that 'they' are doing it again...

Yeah, this fits in perfectly with what I was thinking before...

From the Orientation video:

... imagined a large scale communal research compound where scientists and free thinkers from around the globe could pursue research in meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and utopian social ...

You and your partner are currently located in Station 3, or the Swan... Station 3 was originally constructed as a laboratory where scientists could work to understand the unique electromagnetic fluctuations emanating from this sector of the island.

I think each one of the stations is responsible for all the weird things going on, for example - zoology/polar bears, nanotechnology/black smoke, the magnetism etc... The island is basically an experimental science facility and the survivors are being used as test subjects for Dharma's research in these different fields (why Locke can walk again, Rose is cured etc - each was chosen for specific reasons and the crash was constructed). The overalls and beard makes me think the 'Others' are Dharma scientists, purposefully creating a distraction to keep the survivors from finding out the truth - at the same time monitoring their progress and response to the experiments. That explains the supply drop from the plane, Desmond just running off into the jungle, Claire being drugged and taken by Ethan back to one of the bunkers, and why the Others tried to stop them leaving the island - 'capturing' Walt. Same for the countdown timer, just another device to distract them - Henry knows that nothing happens, but keeps quiet to keep Locke guessing. Ever since I started thinking about it this way, the new things that pop up each episode seem to fit nicely within this theory.

Unless the writers are fucking with us and the all the clues are actually red herrings, and something much bigger is going on...

My stoner mind can't cope anymore... :(

Cheers for that Syntax, can't believe I didn't put it together.

I was thinking there was more to it though. If they both are 'cured' and then just assume they'll be cured of everything that happens to them after that by the island, but don't know why, then it is obvious yes. I was wondering, going by what they said, whether they actually know why they've been cured and how the island works.
