That's Thoth...

Hurley: Dude, how do you spell bounty hunter?
Miles: Why? What are you writing, your memoirs?

Why in the hell doesn't Hurley know how to spell bounty hunter?

Wow. Just wow. I did NOT anticipate that ending at all.

HEROES needs to take a page from LOST and start doing some good stuff. I really enjoyed this episode though it also made me sad at the end. I was also sad when Daniel was talking to little Charlotte.

I missed it! I have to watch it today or tomorrow.

So...Penny and Daniel...interesting.

I know Daniel claims he can prevent the chain of events that caused Flight 815 to crash, but I have to wonder if any of the survivors will even want that at this point...Jack's life was a mess, Kate was headed to jail, Jin was a reluctant hitman with a terrible relationship with Sun, Juliet was trapped on the Island with Ben...and so on. Thoughts?

If they end up back in our present that would mess up the future...

It is all so confusing, first Daniel says he can't change the past....but then he thinks he can...

and both his parents send him on trip that they know will wind him up in the future where they know his mother is going to shoot him....it all makes no sense...

Besides being half brother and sister and not knowing it, how do Penny and David know each other?

I am also confused on where the bomb is? And how did the energy from the hatch bring down the plane? I thought the hatch exploded when they didn't press the button....

I think Penny knows Daniel only by name because Desmond talked about him. I dont think they have met face to face.

Didnt Daniel mention something about an accident that brought down Flight 815? And they contained the energy after the accident by pressing the button?

Daniel said that they contain the energy by pressing the button. One day Desmond fails to press the button, and this causes 815 to crash. Desmond had to turn the key in that lock to get the energy to calm again.

Yea, thats right. Gosh its so hard to keep things straight on this show!

SO GOOD.

This situation with the bomb reminds me of Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

Afraid of spoilers? Haven't watched it yet? Don't read.
 

OMG - Rose & Bernard?! I'm so happy! But pissed at Juliet - it's an hour and a half into it, and it is just great, except for the whole Juliet not backing up Sawyer thing. And JACOB?????

I love this show.

eta - NOT JULIET!!!!!

What lies in the shadow of the statue? LATIN. (I think) My husband the latin teacher? Dead asleep. I'll have to wait for the recap on televisionwithoutpity.com tomorrow for the translation.

I KNEW WHAT WAS IN THE BOX.

What IS wrong with Ben? And who the hell is/was Jacob?? I have to wait a whole summer/???
eta - 2010????? HELP ME!!!

AWESOME FINALE!!!! AHHHHH!!! I dont think i can survive till 2010 with that cliffhanger. Im going to have to let it all sink in before i come up with a logical opinion!!!

Jacob was a god.


I think I said a while back (and I think I was in the ballpark or close enough) that suppose all of this was an afterlife of sorts...

Interesting how the Khemet god Set (The hippo statue at the beginning of the show <interestingly enough his wife Taweret, usually is represented as a pregnant hippo goddess, is also a goddess of fertility>) played into the story. Set (or Seth) was the god of destruction, chaos, and storms.

They never did give a name to the man sitting next to Jacob when they watched the carousel sailing off in the distance...I wouldn't be surprised if that is he...

Also I want to see how Richard plays into all of this!

I totally knew Jacob was a god from the first scene in the show. I have thought that he was the god of the island for a while, but it never occurred to me that he would be the one that would cause people to come on the island.

I loved the lines in the first scene, the other god (the one that now embodies Locke) said something about it all happening again and it ending the same way. It made me think that Jacob brings people to the island to entertain him in a sense. I don't understand why the other god wants to kill him? Many they are brothers like Romulus and Remus? Is there a god over them?

I actually thought the body in the box would be that of either Jacob or the other god.

The whole bomb thing is very confusing.......

What happened to the statue?

I thought the tapestry that Jacob made/ was making was cool.....it was Egyptian but had Greek lettering on it.

SWTXBelle: Did you ask your hubby about the translation? I wasn't sure if it was Spanish or Latin....

Ah well....I am watching it again with my sister who fell asleep last night!

Oh and I also think Christian will be Jacob now....

ETA: My sister just watched the first scene again.....I think this is a version of Osiris and Set......Set killed Osiris......

I just keep thinking this has something do with themes of mythology!

Who is at the base of the statue?

Answer - He who will save us.

:eek:
