Scottish accents are my absolute favorite of all! Desmond is not a very good looking man IMHO, but the accent makes him sexy. Not as sexy as Sawyer.  You're totally right about actors doing bad accents, Roz. I probably wouldn't be able to tell a bad British accent unless it was REALLY bad, but so many times I've heard a bad Southern accent and wanted to cringe! Usually with the southern accents people overdo them.  I still haven't watched Lost from this week. I better get to it tonight! |

Exactly,it's not just the look here, he's an interesting character, rather independent, separate from the group - somehow able to be sitting within the group and be separated from them. I loved the "you play golf?"... "I am Scottish" comment with the cheeky grin/nod  *say 'neh more* Don't worry Kelly it works both ways, I am not quite too discerning with the various different American accents  |

Whoa! That's about all I can say about last night's episode. Didn't see that coming at all..... Thoughts? Anyone?

Im so sad! :'( I really didn't think that would happen. He said "your next". I wonder if he meant Locke or just the survivors in general.
Juliette is NOT to be trusted! If she's telling the truth then Ben is truly evil for her to want Jack to commit murder. I'll be willing to take bets that he won't do it.

I don't trust Juliette either, although I do think there's a rift between her and Ben (the book club, his general attitude and of course the fact that he was calm when Jack threatened to kill her all indicates this)
Another interesting thing to me was what Eko saw in the Black Smoke. I think he saw his sins. From what we know Locke is a relatively virtuous man with relatively little to confess, and he saw "a bright light", whereas Eko obviously saw something more disturbing.
I was a little confused that Eko would not confess, and his "brother's" reaction. Was that his brother disowning him? Or was he someone else? He was solid for Eko to pass the cross to. True Eko 'did what he needed to in order to survive' but is the prolonging of your own life worth the cost of many other lives?

Resolution is what Mr. Eko had. Whether or not his choices were right or wrong, he was at peace with himself over them. This seems to be a common theme with regard to dead characters:
Boone - Gets over Shannon and he dies
Shannon - Finally feels worthy-she dies
Ana Lucia - Realizes she's more than a murderer-she dies.
Libby - the big question mark here
Eko - accepts his choices, no longer feels guilt.
Now, the thing that keeps bothering me about Libby(aside from that bad wig in the flashback with Desmond) is WHY did she give a man she'd just met her dead husband's boat? Surely the writers could not be THAT careless. In the mental hospital, she looked a little further gone than someone who'd merely lost her husband(as tramautiac as that is). I have a theory that she was some sort of recruiter for the island or the others or something. Maybe she mentioned to Hurley in passing that he should play "the numbers" on a lotto ticket. Her death was also an accident, whereas Michael planned to shoot Ana Lucia. I hope we see a couple of Libby cameo flashbacks this year....

Yup this is so right. Although, Eko owed Yemi (sp?) a church, and he hadn't built that yet. But that's definitely a common theme. I hope we get more info on Libby, it would be very dissappointing not to get any linkages in her story, maybe Desmond's flashbacks will fill us in. |

to be honest, I think Juliette is power hungry, and she is prob the most dangerous person on the island.
Remember what Sawyer said when he got in his little fight after he kissed Kate?
"But that blonde who had a gun pointed at you...she would have shot you. No Problem"
Every single time I see her that is all I can think of. I think Ben is restricting her power, and killing him makes her in charge.

I really hope Jack isn't drawn in by her charm and 'being his type' so-to-speak. Not only is it just wrong in general, but it would be against his whole training and mental discipline (and his hippocratic oath too). Sure I don't like Ben, but he's an interesting guy, I'd be sad to lose him from the story. So what of Michael and Walt, do you think we'll get any more of their story this series? No Sawyer/Kate this week either.

I personally think Michael and Walt will be back on Wednesday. Could be wrong, but there is no way they are gone for good. Their story is NOT resolved in any way.

Not Michael http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0674782/But Walt has nothing listed in the near future.... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1287636/The problem with Walt is that on the island it's still 2004, but the actor is of course going through puberty and obviously aging. I suspect that Walt will return at some point, but from what I understand Harold Perrineau was not a happy camper on LOST. |

No Sawyer/Kate this week either. I agree about Ben, he's a great villian and foil for Jack. It would be a shame to lose him. He's been played so well by the actor, whose name I can't recall at the moment. I read originally he was just on for a three episode arc, but that the producers loved him so much they expanded his role. However, my money's on Jack falling for Juliet, hence the flashback of his divorce a few weeks ago. The flashback really showed that Jack, when not trying to fix something, isn't the most rational, well adjusted guy around. |

Excellent points made by everyone! Sorry to see Mr. Eko die like that. What does everyone think the black cloud is that killed him?  Interesting to see some new comers from the crash becoming more involved in the show now. Can't wait for tonight's episode! |

Interesting to see some new comers from the crash becoming more involved in the show now. Can't wait for tonight's episode! Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Mr. Eko is the only one to have ever seen the black smoke. I think Roz pointed out earlier that the black smoke represents his past 'sins' following him and haunting him. The more I think about it, the more I believe Henry/Ben when he said that the 'others' are the good guys. I think on top of everything else, they're in a time warp, if you will. Remember when Hurley & Sayid had the radio that worked for 30 seconds and it was playing Glenn Miller(who really did disappear in a plane crash). That music is 60 years old - too old for even my grandmother to have listened to(almost). Juliet is a fertility doctor. Now what is a fertility doctor doing on THAT island? Anyway, sorry, lunchtimes musings from a fan that tend to ramble... |

I'm pretty sure that Locke saw the smoke. Back in season one I think. |

Yep, Locke did see it...he speaks about "looking into the island" numerous times and he is refering to the black smoke...also, not that they see it up close, but a couple people see it in the first episode when it kills the Pilot, and others see it in the episode with Artz blowing up when it almost pulls one of them down into the island.

Ok...was anyone else dissapointed with last nights episode?
I mean I thought that something HUGE was going to happen that would have me counting down the seconds until February.
I mean I loved the episode. Kate and Sawyer actually got me to cry. But the ending is something I pretty much thought would happen since last week.

Disappointed, not really. I really felt bad for Kate, because although we know killing is wrong, her step father was a real SOB and it's hard to blame her for losing her proverbial marbles in that respect. She didn't mean to get McKenzie Astin killed. I wonder if the bank robbery she committed happened after or before her marriage. I think it must be after, right? I really felt bad for poor Nathan Fillion last night, the crushed look on his face killed me. And I'm glad Kate & Sawyer got together. It did feel like a segue episode though. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOCKE SAW WHEN HE LOOKED NORTH!!! February is a long time to wait.  |

I really do not care for the way ABC is presenting LOST. I think it plain stinks that they shut us off until next year!  Why can't we just have the series run normally like they all used to do? It is annoying plain and simple. I agree with Bryan that last night's show was nothing to write home about! |
