    The island can't be hell, not with all those hot chicks on it. I can think of worse things than having to look at Kate all day :D

    One thing i've slowly been learning from watching lost for the last 3 seasons is that the most obvious answer is usually correct. People get mixed up in all these conspiracies and theories and then forget that the large portion of viewers of this show are your everyday joes, who don't spend time postulating theories and conspiracies on internet forums, so the writers have to cater to the majority (we all seen how the inverse of this failed for the matrix revolutions, i personally liked that ending though) and in doing so will answer the questions posed in the series with more obvious than obtuse answers.

    Obvious answers:
    Hurley: "What?"
    Crash girl: "Oh wait, did you say Flight 815? Sorry, I was talking about that flight 715 that crashed a few years ago."

    And that's not Mikhail, it's his twin brother. Or a clone! Or Ben wearing a Mikhail latex mask. Or ... time for my tablets.

    The island can't be hell
    I dunno, it strikes me that all the fun people would be in hell anyway. The only question that remains then is what's Jack doing there, he's no fun at all!
    Let's say that she is right and that they're all dead
    They're not all dead, she's either lying or has been lied to, most likely it's the latter and there's been some sort of cover up.

    Btw - how do we know Kate is preggers ?
    People are just jumping to conclusions there, wrongly IMO. Juliet mentioned on the tape that she was getting samples (of what she didn't say) of ALL the females and that Kate was next. The purpose of these samples could be anything, likely to do with fertility given Juliet's profession, but unlikely because she suspects Kate is pregnant. It could be a pregnancy test so that Ben & Co know if anyone else on the island is pregnant. Could also be to see if any of them are suitable for doing "experiments" on. A sexy experiment perhaps?

    Hmmm well she did say men are what four (cant remember what figure for definate) times more fertile on the island. I didnt see any condom machines in that cage....

    Did anyone notice that Juliet told Sun that women died in second trimester, giving her two months, but in the previous episode weren't we told they die at childbirth or soon after?

    No they said during the pregnancy. I think they tried to do a Sisarian section on the woman that were dying to try and save the baby and the mother. Sun said she has 2 months left?

    Juliet did say that sperm count is up by a factor of four or five, can't remember the exact number now either. I still don't see how that means Kate is pregnant though.

    I don't think she is YET. Ben did say , there could be potential mothers on that aircraft. Kate may not be pregnant YET but the others may wish to change that.

    hmmm, are you sure about that? Was sure I remember something about during the birth.

    and ya, I think sun said something along the lines of "that gives me two months"

    Juliet seems to have been telling the partial truth about the pregnant women. She mentioned that NO woman made it past the second phase so i would nearly be sure that they tried emergency surgeory on the woman to try save them.

    The Losties have been there 90 days, some of them are bound to be having sex, with the increase in male fertility means that some women are bound to be pregnant. Juilette was sent to see whats going on in this area.
    They didn'y know Sun was pregnant, you can tell this from juilettes tone on the recorder to ben, they are checking the other women,
    Kate is a likely choice as they know she has had sex.

    Was she really saying "Thank you" to Mikhail? He got all shifty eyed at that point.

    Nah, she actually said "I'm not alone".

    I know if I was stranded on a dessert island with my bird I'd be even more cautious about her getting pregnant than usual. When I ran out of condoms I guess I'd start using the withdrawl method. It's stupid to think just because they have no condoms that they won't care about safe sex.

    But remember Sun thought Jin was infertile

    Dull episode, plot didn't move on much: 3/10. What developments there were could have been achieved in half an episode. Sun, although breathtakingly gorgeous, her flashbacks were boring and long, and unless either Jin's mother or father show up later seem pretty pointless. Parachute girl (Naomi) looks like she'll become interesting in the near future, she's about the most dynamic thing about the episode. Vaguely interesting to see Mikhail back, although playing possum is about as old as the hills. I'm getting pretty tired of Juliette's slightly enigmatically curled lip - seems like that's the only piece of acting she's capable of - as an actor she's pretty one-dimensional. The series needs a good dose of Locke, Sayid and Sawyer to brighten up. Meh.

    I thought it was a descent eppy, really liked the ending, the whole 815 plane being found.

    Great episode. I was dreading the Sun/Jin flashbacks but they weren't too bad - not irrelevant to the episode but still didn't give us much information apart from Jin's family background which might or might not be important. Who knows? Fathers seem to be important in Lost. I hope Jin's daddy shows up in Ben's magic box next week! :p

    It's cool that Patchy is back. I liked his character for some reason but he couldn't have faked the blood coming out of his ears and the foam coming out of his mouth. When he said 'thank you' to Sayid when he pushed him in that fence, perhaps he knew he wouldn't die. Still, would he want to be in that much pain? And how did he heal so quickly? I hope the islands powers are looked at more by the end of this series because I'm not getting it.

    -It cured Locke's disability, and his leg when it was crushed by the Lockdown
    -It cured Rose's cancer (whatever happened to her?)
    -Perhaps it cured Mikhail

    and sperm count is 4 times higher, yet women can't conceive (sounds like something Alanis Morisetter would say! :D )

    but the island hasn't cured Ben's cancer!

    Why would the island cure Mikhail and not Ben, if they are on the same team? Mikhail did help Naoimi (how do we know her name btw?) so perhaps he is a good man. Maybe he is from Dharma but either willingly or not, joined the Others when they came. After all he did tell that big story to Sayid and co. - perhaps some of it was truth? Maybe Rosseau is also left over from Dharma and that is why she didn't want to go with Sayid and co. to the communications office.

    Anyway, back to this episode - Juliet was fantastic in it. "I hate you" - great line! This reaffirms our suspician that she will probably go against the Others at some stage.

    I'm loving season 3 - the beginning wasn't great but it's building up to be a fantastic few final episodes. People who stopped watching (or rather threatened to stop) will be kicking themselves!

    7/10

    (Can't believe one poster gave it a 3....you must really hate Lost.)

    Re: Rousseau being left over after Dharma "leaving" or being driven off by hostiles or whatever - well isn't she supposed to be Alex's mother and Ben's supposed to be her father? Or is he just her father since she was taken as a baby... or... eh...

    um...

    um...

    Through speculation and common sense it been said that Ben pretended to be Alex's father when they kidnapped her from Rosseau when she was a baby. That's taking it that Rosseau isn't an other. Perhaps her and Ben did have sex and have Alex, and then Rosseau was branded (like Juliet) and thrown out of their group but that would raise further questions as women can't conceive on the island (supposedly).

    Rousseau said she was 7 months pregnant when she arrived on the island. She may have been lying of course but I doubt it. It fits with what we've already learned that Alex was conceived off-island, which would mean Ben isn't her real father.

    The big problem with her story is that she claims to not know about Dharma, even though her ship ran aground in 1988. Patchy said he's been there since 1993 which implies Dharma was still active then as well. How could Rousseau have not come across them? She's been on the island 16 years and knows nothing about hatches, Dharma, or anything but she knows that smokey is a "security system". It doesn't makes sense.

    Unless she's Dharma, in which case she's not going to be eager to tell the losties anything, except that the Others are the big bad guys and should be killed. I still think she was probably telling the truth about most other things, she just left out the bit about being Dharma.

    No, what I meant by this was not that 815 had been found but just the whole idea of it, wether true or not.
