    And the guy with the eyepatch a nice WTF moment from Lost.


    Haha, very true. Id just like to point this out. How did the guy with the eyepatch happen to be looking into a camera on a wall and break it, right as they figure out how to view other stations. What if they were a second later???

    The eyepatch guy noticed they were watching him through the camera (did it pan a bit to the right?) and turned off or disconnected the camera.

    Also - I think Locke was talking about the light that shone out of the hatch at him as opposed to the smoke. Or maybe I'm wrong?

    Those two new characters seemed like canon fodder to me - remember Arzt?
    But maybe that was just to throw us off the scent.
    Best episode of the series so far - getting back into the flow of things.

    one thing i don't get about Locke's account. He said what he saw was great, a beautiful thing. That's fair enough when you take into account the early episodes of season 1, but at the season 1 finale, he saw the monster again, looked scared/freaked out, ran away and it grabbed him, even though he told Jack to let him go. now, does Locke think this is the same monster or what?, becauses it was smoke that time, made the same noise... i think Locke's been at the home made glue again...


    I think what Locke is referring to is what he saw when the hatch exploded. Eko, Locke, and Desmond all survived and "changed" when they returned, I think Locke saw something beautiful, and he expected Eko and Desmond to have seen the same thing.

    Locke mentioned seeing a white light, something beautiful. Was this because he had the chance to kill that young cop and decided not to? Whereas Eko made the other decision.

    The black smoke tried to drag Locke off at the end of Season one while he was blaming himself for the death of Boone. Although, that probably isn't connected.

    RIP Eko. You'll be missed :(

    On another note, did anyone feel compassion for Ben. There was a genuine look of pain and anguish on his face talking to Juliet about the xrays and then to Jack. I hope Jack saves his life.

    By the way, reading an interview with Michael Emerson in the RTE Guide, it seems his character was only intended to last three episodes. Yet more proof the writers are making it up as they go along...

    I think that maybe he has has taken on a role that was originally intended for someone else (Zeke perhaps) due to his performances and his popularity with fans. I dont think its a bad thing that the writers might adapt certain things as they go. I would say they had a begining, an end and some major plot points to begin with and now they are just adapting things depending on fan reactions and what works/does not work etc.

    1. Eye patch guy + glass eye found by tail section survivors + blood on ceiling of original hatch = Radzinski

    2. Better repent your ways when given the opportunity

    3. Nikki = hot hot hot

    4. Bob Dylan messaging from yur one was lame

    5. Liked Syiad just popping back on the beach, don't need spoonfeeding, I'm sure we'll find out later

    6. Nikki = nice rack

    7. Eco = Big loss, his flashbacks were ver good, he's like the first character to go full circle in story line, we know him from early days, turning bad, turning good'ish, all the way to his death because of the island...
