I read on one site this was somebody who was an extra and got laid off because of the writers strike that Something happens with weight in the helicopter and the pilot pushes Claire off the helicopter into the ocean and keeps her baby

Yeah, I really wish I hadn't read that. I guess I need to start avoiding this thread. :(

Sorry I won't post anything else like that I figured it was more gossip than a spoiler. Still doesn't explain why Jack won't see the kid or why Kate mom thinks its her grandchild.

Poor Desmond!

That's a long time to pretend it's 2004.

The final scene with Des on the phone was sweet!

Supposed to be six seasons. From what I have read, from the producers/writers, this season is supposed to be the Oceanic Six leaving the island. Season 5 is why they have to get back to the island and the actual return to the island. Season 6 is them back on the island and leaving again.

Last night's episode was awesome. Penny is Desmond's constant and Desmond is Daniel's constant. How strange but cool

I had tears in my eyes when Desmond was having that conversation with Penny and she said that she'd find him one way or the other and then they said they loved each other. I just cried.

Can't wait for next week!

Did you guys catch how Desmond "crashed" that auction, and the painting of the ship being auctioned off was the "Black Rock" from the collection of that Hanso guy (who was behind the Dharma Initiative)? Wasn't Rousseau on the Black Rock or something like that? What if she's been on the island for 100 years+, but because the island is in a weird timewarp, she hasn't aged? I'm confused.

And yes, the scene of Desmond talking to Penny at the end was very bittersweet.

Rousseau was on a research (science) boat, not a slave ship.

Hmmm... I thought one of the major "reveals" of the most recent episode was to demonstrate that the island is not time-challenged. The fact that Des made the phone call on Christmas Eve, 2004 suggests that it's Christmas Eve everywhere... including the island.

I think time gets all out of whack when people travel to/from the island. That's why Dan kept insisting that the pilot follow precise bearings.

Wow I din't see that about the painting of the ship. And no that is not Claire baby Eathen, I think she said Evan I watched it twice and close but not the same name. Tomorrow is another episode.

:confused::confused::confused:

Ummm...Claire's baby is named Aaron not Ethan or Evan. Kate DID say Aaron.

Lost makes my head hurt - in a good way. Thank God for www.televisionwithoutpity.com !

I think Bens spy on the freighter is Michael, Walts dad. Who's with me on this?
