5. The promo's for next weeks episode look great! "This is OUR Island" was definitely creepy. Those Others are creepy mofo's.

Was the "this is OUR island" voice the same voice that was the narrator in the recap hour of Lost?

1. The images Eko saw in the black smoke were a boy (I think Walt but I can't get a clear screencap yet), Emma (the little girl from the tail section of the plane that was taken by the others), a church, the old man he killed, his brother dead, the Nigerian woman selling the statues, Jesus on a cross.

4. During the drug deal, the two men Eko killed were talking & Sayid's name was mentioned.

5. The promo's for next weeks episode look great! "This is OUR Island" was definitely creepy. Those Others are creepy mofo's.

1) I just rewatched the episode (I'm a VCR kinda girl)...how could you make out what was in the black smoke? Could you pause it and watch it frame by frame? I tried to slow it down enough but could see nothing.

4) You're right, in the drug deal scene, the younger drug dealer (who says all of 3 words) *DOES* say "Sayid"....good call!

5) In the Canadian "next week" promo, we did not get a "This is OUR island scene", instead it showed Jack and Locke talking about how Michael took the gun and is beyond reason and Locke is saying 'who are we to tell people what they can and can't do?"
Who says "This is OUR island". The passengers or the OTHERS?

Did they ever say what Eko's brother's name was? I wonder if it is Aaron? After all, Eko seemed really taken with that name when Claire told her that that was the name of her baby.

As for Eko, I think Eko that until this episode, that Eko was a "priest in name only", as he possessed the papers that his brother signed (under duress) ordaining Eko to be one. However, now that he knows (and has the physical proof of his brother's body) that his dealings caused his brother's death, I think he decided in the moment after cremating his brother to "embrace the priesthood for real", as it were.

Y'all amaze me....I seriously just watch the episodes and wonder what the hell happened. Thank you guys for add'l info - b/c I missed alot of this.

You have to go frame by frame to see the images. It's easier on a computer than on TV. Of course, if you have TiVo, you might be able to make them out.

Eko's brother's name is Yemi. Yemi might be a version of Aaron but I can't be sure of that.

Finally, when Charlie was singing that song by The Kinks to Jin, the title of the song is oHe's Evil. With the way the writers of the show are & how they don't put things in there for no reason, I am apt to think that the song title indirectly refers to Eko or Charlie himself.

DHARMA is actually an acronym. On one of the podcasts, it was said that DHARMA is actually an acronym but we still don't know for what.

looks like we might have a war on our hands!

Interesting episode. I'm excited for next week's...although I'm hoping Charlie doesn't have anything to do with the baby Aaron disappearance due to his addiction.

Hopefully, he'll be the hero for the day.

Good episode tonight, although it was kinda slow in the beginning. That one "other" guy freaked me out. His werid eyebrows glaring in the fire. Creepy.

I couldn't help but notice the other guy's resemblance to Santa Clause- it's all I could think the whole time.

Things to notice:

* Jack had no tattoo during his flashbacks w/Sarah so it's obvious he got it after his divorce from her. During the first few episodes of the show, Kate was bantering w/him about hit tattoo but he wouldn't tell her what it was.

* I have no proof of this but my instinct is telling me that Sarah left Jack for Desmond. They were all at the same place at the same time when Jack met Desmond running those stairs. Desmond even asked him about his belief in miracles.

* When the creepy beared Other guy dragged out Kate, he asked ALEX to bring her out. Isn't Alex the French womans kid that the Other's took?

* Ethan might not have been part of the Others. Ethan referred to what he would do where as creepy bearded man referred to the plural. He also looked a little confused when Jack brought up Ethan. So then who the hell was Ethan & what was he doing there?

Good quote: "From the dawn of our species, Man has been blessed with curiousity. Our most precious gift, without exception, is the desire to know more - to look beyond what is accepted as the truth and to imagine what is possible" - Alvar Hanso

Bearded guy said something similar to this to Jack.

* Wouldn't it make more sense to ask a person w/military training like Sayid to help train the army instead of the cop? Of course, Sayid is still heartbroken & is a born-again pacifist so he may tell Jack to go to hell.

Finally, all hail Sawyer & his penchant for nicknames!

Jack - Doc
Kate - Freckles, Hot Lips
Sayid - Captain Falafel, Muhammed
Hurley - Pillsbury, Stay-Puft, Jabba
Claire - Mamacita
Locke - Mr. Clean (you need an earring and a mop had me laughing my ass off)
Walt - Tattoo (as in Fantasy Island midget) and ShortRound (from Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom)
Michael - Han
Jin - Chewie
Ana-Lucia - Rambina, Ponce DeLeon
Eko - Shaft
Boone - Metro
Shannon - Sticks
Others bearded guy - Zeke

is it just me or did creepy other guy not call sawyer by his name? i know he called out Jack and Locke, but did not say anything about Sawyer. I thought, if true, it is interesting b/c earlier he asked why he chose Sawyer as a name and not his true name (James, i think?). Then, he was the only one with no name mentioned by the other guy.

and why the heck did they not follow up on the incident with the black cloud thing? didn't they show charlie and eko back at camp? that is what i did not like about the show! ack.....

I totally caught the name too... but I couldn't remember who was the one that had a connection. I guess Alex would be about 16 according to the tranmission.

I think that Jack didn't want to ask Sayid b/c he's depressed. DId you see the poor man when he asked what was going on.... he was a zombie.

That was Locke who asked Sawyer about choosing "Sawyer", not the creepy guy

For some reason, the past couple of episodes haven't *fully* kept my attention

Good detail catching on the "Alex" thing and on the "Ethan" not being one of THE OTHERS (possibly)! I'm impressed. Interesting thought about Desmond being 'the other man' but hey, with this show, anything is possible!

i knew it wasn't creepy guy who asked about his name, i just couldn't remember if it was hurley or locke who asked.

i thought it was an odd coincidence that the scene about sawyer's name was shown this episode, especially when creepy guy said the names of jack and locke later in the show, but not sawyer (if i remember that correctly).

good catch on the alex reference. i heard it too and tried to remember why the name would be important.

not sure about the ethan theory.....often, leaders (such as creepy guy) will refer to the organization's actions/members as "we," while just a member of the organization may not. it could also show that ethan did not agree with everything that was being done by referring to himself (as in "if it were me, i would have.."). i know he didn't say the "if it were me" part, but it could have been implied.

OK, so I wasn't impressed with this week's Lost at all. And I love Charlie!! He's my favorite!

The flashbacks were okay but then the actual update stuff was so so. I didn't like how they were making him out to be crazy and the bad guy. I was very unhappy with that. I also was pissed b/c Locke freaking hit him. And then everyone just walked away.

Oh well... I hope he'll redeem himself in the up coming episodes.
