LOST - ANYONE ELSE WATCHING? (at US airing pace)

The Hanso thing was a "commercial" played during a break.  I was getting up from the couch and almost missed it.
My take on Micheal is that he has been brainwashed into becoming an other.  He did what he did to let Henry go and start a war between the Losties and the others.  I have no idea why.
YES I also think that Jacks dad had a thing with Claire's mom and that she is his half sister.  That woman at the house looked just like Claire.

She also had a crazy accent like Claire, Crikey.

What an episode!!  I agree with Kelly in that I too think Michael was captured by "The Others" and brainwashed!  It looks to me that Libby was wasted as well as Anna Lucia.  That would take care of both of these actresses as far as ABC is concerned as both are in trouble with the law in Hawaii for drunk driving.  Very serious offense in Hawaii.

I also liked Jin's thumbs up to Hurley as well!!     This boy looks like he can get lost in a closet!     I don't think Hurley has any luck with anything especially now that Libby was wasted!   

Let's see how good a Doctor Jack is when he examines Michael's bullet wound.  A self inflicted gun shot at very close range leaves powder residue on the affected area.  I did not like Michael's character before this show and I just hate him now.  What a wiener!   

I liked Anna Lucia's character - what a way to go on a show!  At least Sawyer had a little "skin time" with her before she bit the big one!

NOOOOOOOOO NO NO NO
You have it all wrong with Michael. He did NOT want to kill anyone (I think) THat is why before he shot Ana Lucia he looked down at the gun and said he was sorry. Ana is dead. he shot Libby in the stomache...so there is a good chance he will live...then at the end of the episode he shot himself in the arm.

So it looks like Henry got Ana's gun and shot all of them and then escaped. You have to remember Michael is a selfish man. He will do ANYTHING to get back Walt.
I don't think he is brainwashed like say Claire was. I think he was captured, and they pretty much laid out what he had to do if he ever wanted his son back.

Um, gut shots are typically fatal...

Not only that, but if Libby lived she would know that Michael was the one who shot her and be able to tell everyone what happened as far as she could tell. 

[grecopa]

Maybe Libbly was holding some really heavy metal plates under her blanket for the picnic with Hurley!     Too bad, I wanted to know more about Libby.  Hurley doesn't seem too upset in the previews though, maybe she's not totally dead-yet.

I don't believe that Michael needed a lot of 'brainwashing', just the mere suggestion of what he needed to do to get Walt back and he'd have gone for it.

Let's be honest he shouts constantly "mah boy"... "don't do this or that, he's mah boy", or to Lock "what are you doing with mah boy"... he has this image in his head that he's this excellent father and he must protect his son (or he knows he is a terrible father and is trying to make up for it with his enthusiasm). Even Walt doesn't buy into this and rebels madly against it, Michael was always telling him that he should respect him because he's his father. Well guess what - Fathers earn respect, they don't just demand it, Michael just demands it.

He's so egocentric that he'd definitely go along with something like this to get Walt back, don't forget guys that he's informed our islanders that 'the others' are a feeble bunch and that they could 'take them'. We must assume that this information is a trap too now.


Blimey that Michael gets my goat!


Everyone who falls in love, or gets things sorted out dies (think Shannon), it's such a shame about Libby. What I can't figure is why Rose and Bernard are still there, perhaps it's her cancer that troubles her.

I definitely agree that Locke is a 'good' person, but what's puzzling me is why he wasn't 'taken' before. He spent a LOT of time in the jungle alone in season one, so it's interesting that they never tried. He did 'stare out' the monster in the early episodes, but that's the only remotely threatening thing that happened to him that I can remember.

Becks if you are right about Claire's mother then you have good eyes. I can't remember seeing Claire's mother, but she looked a tad young to have a daughter of Claire's age, but it was dark

Poor old Sawyer, he's such a fool

[Bryanjs14]

I was thinking when the woman answered the door it WAS Claire, but when we finally got a close up I thought ok, well, maybe Claire's mom?

Gut shots CAN be fatal, but they are not as fatal as a chest shot. It could easily put you into shock though. Which would work out well. I think we will see more of Libby...remember we know almost nothing about her. All of the Tailies have had a flashback episode BUT her. It would just be silly if we never leaned about her past, especially now that we know she was in the hospital with Hurley.

I'd lay some good money down that says she is still on the show, and she is in shock or something. There is no way they can write her out now, they have shown us to much about her to not finish her story.

I agree, I think Libby is alive, but I think she will be knocked out for a while after Dr. Jack saves her, and as soon as the angry mob leaves to go chase down the others she will come too, and remember that it was Michael that shot her.  The preview for next week showed Hurley, and if she was dead I can't imagine him being at all happy, and he didn't seem to bad in the preview.  Just my thoughts.

I was a little behind and hadn't watch it for a while, so I DL'd episodes 10 - 20 and watched them all today...wow. The only really weak one to me was the one with Charlie and his crazy baby-danger dreams. Loved the Jin-Sun and Rose-Bernard centric episodes, thought they were touching. And this last one, where Michael shoots AL...wow, good stuff (I like Michelle Rodriguez, but to be honest, I don't like her character, so good on 'em for giving her the bullet...just my opinio, don't hurt me  ). I think these season with definitely end with a cliff-hanging bang! I just hope the third season proves just as good as the first two. (now for the humor, I'm just kidding portion of the post) I'm betting, when the show is said and done, we learn that Jack & Sawyer are the reincarnation of the better and worse halves of Captain Jack Sparrow  (I suppose that might only be remotely funny if you realize Disney does both PoTC and LOST...  )

[Roz]

Argh! That Michael, I was sure if Libby showed any promising signs he'd have killed her

What a selfish ^&%^%(*)

[cardz_house]

Hmm, I felt sure that Michael was on a mission to release Henry. I guess the others released him on the condition that if he brings back Henry, they will release Walt or whatever. The fact that he shot himself in the arm convinced me. The shooting of Anna Lucia was needed as he needed her to put up a show but Libby was an unfortunate lady who just wanders in at the wrong time.

[savage727]

I hate to say I told you so but I have seen my fair share of combat wounds and knew when I made my post that Libby was not going to make it.      Let's hope when Eko collected all those documents in the new hatch there was some info about Michael doing the shooting!  I hope he gets nailed to the cross and the birds peck out his eyes!  Can you tell I hate him?    

Was the only way into the new hatch the way Locke & Eko went?  It seems there should be another way in like the hatch they occupy now.   I liked the whole dream sequence culminating in finding the ? mark!  Pretty cool thinking!    

We all saw how Locke put his sketch of the bunker complex in the mail delivery system and it went where?  What will be the consequences of him doing that?

The guy in the film said that all mail through the shoot goes to "us".  I'm sure Lockes sketch will end up in the wrong hands.  I can't believe he did that in the first place!  They could have searched and found all the hatches!

[Roz]

I would imagine that bearing in mind how Eko and Locke were led to the Hatch (some phychological influence that can twist/affect your dreams?) the people at the receiving end of that drawing would already know about the hatches ... just my thoughts.

True, but now "they" know that the Losties know about the other hatches too.  It just seemed like one of the those Lost moments that appears very innocent, but turns out to be VERY important.

[savage727]

I can't tell you how many times my hands were reaching for Michael's throat on tonight's episode!!  The woman leader of the Others hit the nail on the head when she said to Michael "You don't seem to know much about your son, do you"!  That says it all in a nut shell.  Sayid is cool!  He has Michael pegged as a liar and knows he has been turned!!      The 2 hour season ending show hopefully will give us more answers but will I know leave us hanging on some point.  Hey how about that sailboat showing up at the burial ceremony!!  It looks like no one is on board!  Where was Locke heading off to during the burial?

Yeah, you aren't wrong. He's a man who harps on CONSTANTLY about his "parental rights" blah blah "it's a father's right"

You know Ed, if you wanted to kill Michael, you'd have to find him before me

Sayid is cool! He has Michael pegged as a liar and knows he has been turned!!

THANK GOODNESS!!!

Hey how about that sailboat showing up at the burial ceremony!! It looks like no one is on board!

Yeah the way it was twisting it was either being turned around or there was no-one at the tiller. The main sail was full out but no gib it wouldn't have lasted like that very long unmanned I wouldn't have thought.

Where was Locke heading off to during the burial?

I have no idea. I wonder if he was going to the hatch? Or to re-acquaint himself with the jungle. I don't think he knew either of the deceased, but he could have paid his respects

It was good to see Claire clutch for Charlie's hand, I think Claire realised how fragile they are on that island and how short life is, too short to hold a grudge
