First?

memphish said...

You are Maven! Nice picture choice ML.

Capcom said...

Oh wow, what a photo!!! Hurley doesn't look too pleased to be in that jumpsuit. X-D

Good one Melissa!

Black Swan said...

4th! I hope!

TakesaVillage said...

Great photo Melissa_

Black Swan said...

LOL, yeah.. Hurley doesn't look pleased :)

Ellen said...

From the last post:
Maven-I agree about Rose/Bernard. I also think that everyone that came on Ajira 316 all landed in the same timeline. 1974. I may be dead wrong, but I just don't see how it could be any other way if the time jumps have actually stopped. The condition of the Hydra station is a mystery that I can't reconcile however. Perhaps the DI only use the Hydra when they have "test animals" present. I think the polar bears and the sharks escaped their cages/tanks and the DI abandoned the Hydra pretty much early in the game.
The page that Caesar pulled out of the file in the Hydra was not from Daniel's notebook according to the popups (though the validity is disputable) but a diagram from a book (or something NOT a composition book.) Anyway, it gave the distinct impression that Daniel must have copied that diagram into his notebook from that page in the file, that the page was the original document and was copied by Daniel. I think.
What do you guys think?

I posted a new poll at my blog if ya'll are interested...it may be considered by some a bit SPOILERISH, but there are two new posts, so...

xxoo

Capcom said...

OT topic before the curtain goes up....does anyone understand what's going on with the fued that Fishbiscuit has with DarkUFO not posting her recap anymore? I don't quite understand the reason for the venom, but she does get a bit too overly excited in her Fuselage and Jate bashing IMHO, so maybe they just didn't want to have to deal with that anymore? :-o

maven said...

It looks like the first day of camp!

Have fun gang!

Capcom said...

Good for Frankie, he DID land the plane!!!

Anonymous said...

Hmm, I wonder why Sun didn't go back in time too...?

Capcom said...

Heheh, choke on that 1977, Jack! [[snicker]]

TakesaVillage said...

This is going to be a good one.

Black Swan said...

The beginning was the bomb!!!!
runway for the aliens!
yeah, why didn't Sun end up in 1977 on the main island??

Black Swan said...

capcom... you're bad... lol!

Capcom said...

Jack's head's gonna explode Blacky! X-D

Joseph Finchum said...

Well not every one landed in the same time. The plane landed on the runway not yet built in 1977...
I was 4
Hurley always has the best expressions of.... "Huh?"

Tess315 said...

Radzinsky!!!!

Capcom said...

Radzinsky, baby!

Anonymous said...

Oh Christ, there's our indication there's gonna be love triangle trouble, if it wasn't clear already.

Capcom said...

I'm gonna take a drink every time Jack says, "So you're telling me that..." in this episode, heehee.

Joseph Finchum said...

No Capcom... we don't want you to die of alcohol poisoning... lol

Capcom said...

Get him Sun!

Joseph Finchum said...

Hmmmm... Does Sun "F" up Ben... is that how he ends up hurt... lol ... just wondering?

Black Swan said...

Geez, I love Ben Linus!!! This ep is great already!!

Twinkle said...

Present!

I'm watching Lost on delay so I can skip commercials. For all those who I didn't believe, that they saw a runway, that the plane was intact because of Frank's piloting, I offer a heartfelt apology. :-)

And to those who said Frank ran off with Sun because she didn't flash.

Plus Ben is creepy!

Black Swan said...

somebody's gonna 'f' up Ben!

Radzinski doesn't know who he's dealing with with Jin, does he?

Swan's not built yet?

Tess315 said...

I don't think Sun was ever suppose to go back.
She had to leave to live.

lol jinx capcom

Joseph Finchum said...

When is BEn not cdreepy... Even in his off show interviews he gives me the creeps... lol

Anonymous said...

Holy hell it's really Ethan.

Tess315 said...

You guys were right it's Ethan.

Joseph Finchum said...

I think he was building the model from blueprints... maybe he just hasn't moved there yet.

Capcom said...

LOL Ded about the alcohol poisoning!

Yeah, Ben was particularly grim already. I was wondering that too Ded about Sun and Ben.

Capcom said...

Oh wow, Sayidgirl, you just solved the problem on Sun that I have been wondering about! I guess John was wrong that she wasn't supposed to leave, since she would have died if she did.

Capcom said...

Sheesh, are there enough commercial breaks this ep?! :-p

Joseph Finchum said...

Good fake Jin. (complete with new English)
"Yo, Radzinsky... I got this bro."
Lmao

Black Swan said...

I've known it's Ethan for awhile.. so funny the way Juliet put him right back in the bassinette!!

Black Swan said...

I'm sure I spelled that wrong

Tess315 said...

Someone here mentioned Radzinsky last week.
But I thought it was just assumption on their part.

Capcom said...

Not anymore?! Gulp!

Anonymous said...

Hahaha, Miles' expression was priceless!

Joseph Finchum said...

SOmeone is going to have to "Silence" Radzinsky.

Joseph Finchum said...

I knew it.... batters up!!!

Tess315 said...

Yeah! I lied. lol

TakesaVillage said...

You go girl.

Anonymous said...

Booo, cheap shot. I'm a Ben fan myself.

Black Swan said...

Sun's smackdown will go down in history!!

Miles has grey hair now!! He didn't before, did he?

Tess315 said...

Ded
They put Rad in the Swan he's building a model of.

Black Swan said...

I'm a Ben fan, too... but you've gotta admit, that was great.

Tess315 said...

Miles has had grey hair most of this season.

Tess315 said...

Miles has had grey hair most of this season.

Black Swan said...

So, which comes first, Radzinski goes to the Swan or Patchy comes to inhabit the Flame?

Tess315 said...

hmmm good questsion Blk Swn

Black Swan said...

Thanks, Sayid'sgirl.. I thought they were trying to say something with the hair color.. like those who stayed on the Island didn't age

Candle!!

Capcom said...

I'll guess that Rad gets dumped to Swan duty and then they recruit Patchy. Just a guess.

Tess315 said...

Workman lol

Capcom said...

OK, I'm takin' a drink cuz jack got "Workman", bwahahahahahaha!

Joseph Finchum said...

So was the Swan Sawyers idea???

Capcom said...

LOL Ded!

TakesaVillage said...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Joseph Finchum said...

So where is Faraday... did I miss something?

Black Swan said...

workman!!!!! I love it!!!

Rad is Dharma, Patchy = Dharma turned other?

Tess315 said...

Last time I seen Faraday is when Richard came into the DI barracks and the alarm sounded.
He went the oppisite way as everyone else.

Tess315 said...

I think Patchy is other pretending to be Dharma.

Black Swan said...

Oh, I hope Christian takes them to the temple!! AND I hope the temple is where the ones who really know what the Island is hangs out... all high-tech and aliens and stuff!! lol!

Joseph Finchum said...

Ok... thats what I thought.
Thanx SG

Tess315 said...

Dharma Lady

Joseph Finchum said...

AAAWWWWKKKKKWWWWWAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDD

Tess315 said...

Oh Yeah Tell him Sawyer!

Capcom said...

Tell him James! X-D

Tess315 said...

BEnk!>?

Anonymous said...

It's Ben!

Tess315 said...

oops I was excited.

Black Swan said...

omg, best episode ever!! Love Sawyer telling off Jack.. ROFL!!!

Capcom said...

Heheh, you and I are sympatico tonight, Sayidsgirl!

Tess315 said...

So I wonder what kind of journey Sun is going to have to make?

Melissa_Lossa said...

Hey, guys -

I got a late start tonight and didn't catch up until the very end.

So, great episode, huh? :)

And thanks for the kudos on the photo!

Capcom said...

Who wants to place bets that Jack's ego and mouth gets the best of him and he gets the Losties in trouble?

TakesaVillage said...

Jim has really stepped up his game.I like what he said about Churchill reading a book a day.
Gotta get to sleep.Like that's really going to happen.
Good night all.

Black Swan said...

The fastest hour of tv evar!!!

Capcom said...

Best line tonight might be, "Nama-wuh?"

Although James' speach to Jack was extraordinary!

Melissa_Lossa said...

I'm loving how in control Sawyer is now. And Jack seems blown away.


BTW - the Sawyer/Hurley hug was everything I hoped it'd be. :)

Tess315 said...

capcom
lol Yes we are.

Black Swan said...

I've liked Sawyer since last season, but I gotta admit, now I'm head-over-heels!! LOL!

Yeah, Jack will for sure screw things up.. he already has Phil suspicious (I think it was Phil)

Capcom said...

G'nite Village (say it like French, Villaaaaasgh). :o)

Black Swan said...

Agree, Melissa.. the Sawyer/Hurley hug was awsome!

Twinkle said...

So they are on the island in 1977.

I saw something that theorized that because not everyone returned - no Aaron, no Desmond - they landed in different places. They were warned that without everyone the results would be "unpredictable."

Interesting how they pulled together stuff I already knew. *sigh* Maybe I should go light on the spoilers.

Tess315 said...

capcom
Oh you know Jack's ego's going to get in the way.

Black Swan said...

g'nite, TAV!

memphish said...

Once again I enjoyed the episode EXCEPT for Sawyer's puppy dog looks at Kate. Blech!!!!!!

Love that Sawyer made Jack a toilet cleaning workman and dissed his leadership skills. Yeah, that's not going to work very long.

Did anyone see Hurley's assignment?

There were so many things I loved in this episode including the questions it raised like why not Sun? How does Ben end up in sick bay? How do the outriggers end up by the 316ers (or vice versa)? When and how did Daniel leave?

Do you think young Ben's statement about mustard was a test Richard gave him to see if Sayid was a hostile? Clearly this is after the time Ben has made contact with Richard.

Capcom said...

Just to show I'm not totally against Jack, I feel sorry for him that he just doesn't know how to "play the game" in Life when it's necessary. He just can't let go of the control, even if it's the worst thing he could do at the time.

Tess315 said...

I've always liked Sawyer the quintessential bad boy.
But Sayid has always been my favorite.
Now I'm worried about how much I'm going to see of him.
I'm not sure how long he will last.

Black Swan said...

memphish... there was some puppy dog looks going on with Jack and Juliet, too..

Capcom said...

If Dan's not dead, maybe he went nuts and ran into the jungle? Or left the island with Charlotte and her mom? Poor Dan, I'm scared for him.

Twinkle said...

Yes, I loved Sawyer's speech too. And Jack did genuinely seem relieved and ceded leadership well.

There will be a lot of interesting conversations later. I wonder if they'll be shown the audience.

I wonder if planning an ending to a show finally allows writers to let their characters grow up. The ep of Scrubs I saw last night displayed maturity uncommon for the show and most sitcoms. Of course, mistakes will still be made and not everyone will grow up. Still, I like it.

memphish said...

I have to say that when I heard Smokey I got very worried for Frank. I guess he was just scanning them for Christian. It was odd to me that all that DI stuff was in Othersville. We never saw it when the Others lived there. Did DI try to reconstitute between 2005-2007/8?

Black Swan said...

did you hear something, sayid'sgirl?

Tess315 said...

Twinkle
Agree on the results being unpredictable.

Melissa_Lossa said...

memphish - I thought that was weird, too. Why would the Others have left the sign and all of the photos in the processing center? Unless that was all an illusion? Christian did seem to be putting on a little show.

Black Swan said...

I'm gonna watch that again.. any screencap requests?

Twinkle said...

Yes, big mysteries:

Where did Daniel go and why?

No clue on this one but running away from Charlotte might be part of it. Wherever he is, he's becoming a "crazy old man."

How did Ben end up in sick bay?
From the concussion Sun gave him?

What kind of journey will Sun have to make and how?
No clue

What time period did Aijira land in anyway?
We really can't tell if what year it would be, just post Dharma, post Other using the Hydra and the camps.

Has Ben made contact with Richard by 1977?
I agree that he probably has. Those were probing questions.

memphish said...

I'm not sure if it's the case that Sun didn't travel because it's unpredictable or because she's not needed in 1977.

Let's assume that Locke turned the wheel instead of Ben and that no one had left the Island. Would that mean that everyone travelled to 1974/77? Would Sun have still been pregnant? Should it have been her instead of Amy who successfully gave birth to a baby conceived on Island? Too many questions.

And Black Swan I didn't see puppy dog looks from Jack at Juliet. He was very busy trying to figure out what might go on between Kate and Sawyer. I think we he saw Juliet at first it was like cool I've got a backup plan and then we he realized she was with Sawyer he was like, cool I'm back in with Kate.

Tess315 said...

Well I'll try that again.
First it triple posted. Then I only deleted two and now they're all gone.

Black Swan
No I didn't hear anything. It's just a feeling I have.

Black Swan said...

I think Ben is in sick bay because of Sun hitting him with the oar.

I'm also really curious what it will take for Sun to get to Jin

The Hydra Island crash survivors are in 2007, the big Island current Dharma story is in 1977

It looks like Ben is the same age as when he first met Richard (or a tiny bit older?)

Melissa_Lossa said...

So, what's the significance of Ethan being Amy and Horace's baby? Did he leave the island at some point, or was he somehow able to survive the Purge?

memphish said...

Twinkle, you raise a very interesting prospect. What if the 316ers are between the time DI was Purged and the 2000s when we see the Others fully integrated into Othersville? I kind of hate that idea and tonight seemed to imply that they are all 30 years apart. Exactly when did that card come up? From the plane crashed onto the Hydra or the plane crash generally?

Hey, how long do you think Sayid is going to have to wear those handcuffs? As long as Jin wore his one?

Tess315 said...

Twinkle
Sun,Frank and Ben are in 2007.
It said at the begining 30 years earlier.

Capcom said...

Surprise us with your screencaps, Blacky!

But...maybe see if you can see Smokey in the woods at all. I couldn't him on the TV.

memphish said...

You guys are on the ball.

Heard this on Jay and Jack, what if Amy = Amelia as in the old lady in Juilet's Book Club in 2004? The one who clucks about Ethan being a klutz at the plumbing?

I'd guess Ethan was "spared" because he was special, conceived and born on the Island. Amy may have been spared (or joined the Hostiles) because of Paul and whatever the reason was the Richard took his body. That could have spared Ethan too.

Melissa_Lossa said...

I think this is maybe a year or two after Ben meets Richard - just to account for the actor's aging. We don't want another Taller Ghost Walt on our hands.

Did anyone else find it strange that little Ben, the son of a janitor who grows up to be nothing more than a janitor himself, is able to just walk in to the jail and give Sayid a sandwich?

Tess315 said...

Yes melissa how did Ethan become one of Ben's "others"?

Capcom said...

Oh wow Memphish, that's neat about Amy! I wonder if she'd know Juliet's secret then eventually (about being from another time, etc.). Oops, there goes that Time portion of my brain exploding again!

memphish said...

Bigmouth has posted a picture on his blog comparing Lenny, the numbers guy in Santa Rosa, to Radzinsky. They're kind of close.

Tess315 said...

The other DI probably felt sorry for little Ben because of his drunken slob of a father.

Let him do little things. Or who knows maybe that's his job.

Capcom said...

I also was surprised that Sun didn't seem to worry about Smokey being in the woods at all, surely she would at least remember him crashing around that first night on the beach, and all subsequent encounters that were told of there after. ???

memphish said...

Capcom -- what's worse, Amy would know about Juliet and that she had delivered Ethan, but Juliet wouldn't know because it's her 2005 self Amy meets in 1974. Explode away!

Capcom said...

Yeah, Sayidsgirl, Little Ben's job is sandwich boy. :-(

memphish said...

I think that Sun lied about Smokey to Frank, she does that after all, because the only thing that matters to her is finding Jin. Just like the only thing that mattered to Jin was finding Sun.

Black Swan said...

lol, Jack will be working with Roger Linus, right?

I think Ethan will be seen as important later (for what he did while Claire was pregnant), thus important for Aaron!

Black Swan said...

I look for a screencap of smokey, capcom.. near the end, right?

Twinkle said...

Sayid'sgirl said... It said at the begining 30 years earlier.

Doh! That's right! And another mystery is how did Ethan become an Other.

So lots of questions and we have to just hold on until next week. I'm not sure they gave us any puzzle pieces that go with other stuff we've been given. Or I could be tired.

Twinkle said...

Oh! And I love how they even made young Ben creepy. Sayid's reaction was great!

Black Swan said...

Yep, that's smokey right outside the door when Christian is showing Sun the picture of Jin off the wall.. I'll get a cap.

memphish said...

Old Ben was over the top creepy tonight too.

Capcom said...

I think so Blacky, when Sun and Frank are on the dock before meeting CS, so I'm pretty sure that was near the end for the shock value. :o)

Capcom said...

Oh wow, he was outside the door too? I was only thinking about near the dock! Awesome!

Tess315 said...

Ben seemed to know where and when he was going to end up.
He knew where the outriggers were going to be.

Capcom said...

I agree Memphish. And I guess I'm dense, but I realized tonight what probably has always been Ben's power-card...the fact that people have to believe him because they have no choice, even if they are 99% sure that he's fibbing. He knows that he's got that hold over them.

memphish said...

So did Ben have them build the runway for this purpose? That must mean Sawyer or Kate or Juliet tells Kid Ben about building it? Or Sun and Frank get back to 1977? Shuddering again!

memphish said...

So what could Ben's endgame be at this point? To turn the wheel again? To find Richard?

Black Swan said...

smokey out the door

Tess315 said...

In season 3 they seemed to be on a tight schedule in building the runway.
What happened to the to island between 2004 and 2007. Was there a war or what? Christian and Smokey seem to be the only ones around now.

memphish said...

Tonight solidified for me why we do not need Cesar and whatever her name is, I always get it wrong. I do not care in the least what happens to the 316ers other than Frank and Sun and Ben and Locke. Seriously, Smokey can take them all out now and we can move on.

Tess315 said...

Good cap Black Swan. Thanks.

Black Swan said...

Otherville just looks deserted in 2007, but Claire must be there somewhere. I don't think Christian 'lives' there (lol, if he is alive), I would guess he somehow knows exactly when Frank and Sun would show up.

I still want to see the temple!!!

I'll try to get a cap of smokey by the docks now..

Capcom said...

Heheh, I hear ya Memphish.

Awesome Blacky! Thanks, I've got so much going on the TV screen (captions that jump all over, video counter) that I can't see some things during the first viewing! :-B

memphish said...

All right. I think that's it for me. Got lots of answers. I was so glad to see Chang! And lots of new questions. I completely did not see the preview, so if you could warn me before you talk about it I'd appreciate it. Looking forward to getting LOST next week.

Melissa_Lossa said...

I thought Ilana (?) seemed strangely calm during the crash. And also, her and Caesar didn't seem to know each other, or were at least pretending not to.

Capcom said...

Somebuddy with a better mind than me could make a heckuvva "knock-knock" joke of that screencap with Smokey peaking in the door! :o)

Black Swan said...

g'nite, memphish

your welcome for the screencap.. here's one I couldn't resist...

Jack's face when Candle tells him based on his aptitude tests he's a workman

Capcom said...

Good one Blacky! X-D

"Heh..heh..heh", said Jack the Workman. See Jack work. Work, work, work. :-p

Black Swan said...

Melissa, I noticed that, too.

heheheh, capcom... got me thinking..
it also reminds me of old snl's, was it 'landshark'?

Capcom said...

Oh yeah! Candygram! Or, Smokeygram!

Black Swan said...

I really, really hope Jack's boss is Ben's dad, Roger!!

Black Swan said...

Yeah, that's it capcom!!!! ROFL!!!

Black Swan said...

This ep has put me in such a good mood... can't wipe the smile off my face... lol!

Tess315 said...

Yep me too guys. I thought she was to calm.

Melissa_Lossa said...

I am Jack's inflated ego.

Okay, I'm off to bed. Good night!

Tess315 said...

Nite
Memphish,melissa.
I'm going to re watch and go to bed.

Black Swan said...

good one, Melissa.. good-night!

I owned this shirt and wore my hair like this back in the early 80's
I think!

Capcom said...

Right Melissa, Ilana almost looked like she had a calm Ben-smirk on her face. Hmmm.

Black Swan said...

Good-night, Sayid'sgirl! ttyl

Capcom said...

Me too Blacky, I was a bigtime embroidered muslin shirt girl with braids too! Then in the 80s I was a new-waver. :o)

Capcom said...

G'nite all! I might go on a short vacay tomorrow, and if so I'll miss you terribly unless we get lucky and there's internet access at the hotel again. I know, I'm in the dark ages!

Twinkle said...

Knock, knock...

Black Swan said...

who's there?

Black Swan said...

hello? I thought I heard a knock! LOL!

g'nite, capcom! have fun tomorrow!

Twinkle said...

garblegarblewho

Black Swan said...

garblegarblewho who?

Twinkle said...

Aaauugh! (Sounds of you being dragged through the jungle)

Twinkle said...

Sorry! That's the best I could do.

Just be sure never to answer the door if you're on an island and it sounds like a train is outside.

Black Swan said...

ROFL, twinkle!!

Twinkle said...

Thanks! Good night!

Twinkle said...

Hey, just had a thought. I wonder if the terms of the truce are that Sawyer is supposed to let Sayid go back to the Others? That'd be cool. Then we'd get the inside look at 1977 Dharma, 2007 island time, and 1977 Richard Alpert's band of merry woodspeople.

Tess315 said...

Hey Black Swan you still there?
There's some intersting stuff on the monitors at the flame.
Like an episode of Sesame Street. And I think I seen an old alka seltzer commercial. What looked like a news program.

Tess315 said...

Nope it can't be Sesame Street that was 1979.
It must be The Ed Sullivan show. I see Rolf the dog now, and a muppet playing sax. I remember seeing Jim Henson on the Ed Sullivan show.

Tess315 said...

Now I know I'm tired Sesame St. was '69 not '79. lol Anyway they're muppets.
;)

Black Swan said...

Alana doesn't look worried when the turbulance is happening



We see the flash starting to hit Kate

Frank tries to avoid the mountain in front of him after the flash

Black Swan said...

What are you talking about, sayid'sgirl.. want me to get a cap?

Tess315 said...

Sorry yeah if you don't mind.
It doesn't really matter.
Thanks.

Young Wallace said...

Good evening everyone. Great episode!

2 things: I thought Sawyer feeding Sayid the answers ("The truce says you have to identify yourself as a hostile..." etc) was hokey, and obvious. Sawyer getting soft as a con-man?

Anyone else think that it wasn't a sandwich in that bag from little Ben? Anyone care to speculate, cause I'm almost positive it wasn't bread and meat (or at least wasn't ONLY a sandwich; instructions on how to escape? what to tell Alpert? etc)

Young Wallace said...

Oh, another couple of things:
The question has come up that we don't know how unconscious Ben gets taken back to the hydra station. I surmise that someone else must have been following the 3 of them, because when Locke shows up (right before he sees Ben, I think) Cesar tells him the the pilot and some girl left on a boat. Someone knows they left (and therefore probably brought Ben back).

Also, on the Ajira flight, when they started flashing, it was night, and when they came out of it (at 650 ft in the air...Yikes!), it was daylight (not dawn/dusk, but midday). How long were they out of it?

My pregnant wife just took her pre-natal vitamin, which means it's bedtime before it makes her feel sick. I'll check yall in the morning.

Namaste ;)

Black Swan said...

where is that part?

Frank looks up and says Oh, no! right before the flashes start, so do you think he was told to go a certain bearing and his screw-up made them land at the Hydra Island or made it that Sun didn't get flashed out?

Tess315 said...

BTW When Sun and Frank are outside the processing building right before Christian shows up the closed captioning says ghostly voices whispering the whispering stops. I didn't notice it before but you can hear them.

Black Swan said...

Hey, young wallace! congrats on the upcoming new baby!!

Good call on them going from night to day in the plane (pre and post flashing).. you're right!'

You're not going to hear me say anything anti-Sawyer tonight, sorry.. LOL!

Hmm, I wonder about that "sandwich" Ben brought to Sayid.. and what's code for "no mustard"

I also remember something Sawyer said that seemed to me to be the same code Ben heard with that phone call last season that told him the freighties were coming.. something RJ .. J4 .. idk, I will see if I find it during my re-watch (in Season 4 it was when Ben ws playing piano and got the phone call)

Black Swan said...

I heard the whispering, Sayid'sgirl. And smokey wasn't far behind because that's the cap I've got with smokey outside the door when Christian is talking to Sun.. hmm..

Joseph Finchum said...

Just thought I would mention that the Craft glue in the copper colored plastic bottle, that Radzinsky was using to build his Swan Hatch model... Did not exist in 1977. It was introduced as a new product in 1994 while I worked at an Art store...

Anonymous said...

Sayid'sgirl,
It was The Muppet Show on the monitor.

Tess315 said...

Thanks Lurker Girl
That's what I thought at first then I got myself all confused. lol
Well I'm out for real this time I'm done re watching. Good night.

Black Swan
I guess I have old ears. ;)

Black Swan said...

Good-night, Sayid'sgirl! Rofl.. 'old ears'

OH, I loved the Muppet Show! Sorry I didn't come to that part yet.. I'm getting way too many caps; got some real good ones of the 'runway' and the plane landing, if anyone's interested

maven said...

Some very initial thoughts:

Hurley seems very relaxed on the Ajira flight. Eye shade and all! He seems to know what's about to happen.

Why is Sun still there? What makes her special?

Is that a RUNWAY? LOL All this was pre-determined. Frank is sure an awesome pilot!

Perfect casting for RADZINSKY! So he was at the Flame first building models. LOL The bank of screens showed what seemed like news anchors (I think it was Jerry Dumphey, who was an LA staple and the Muppets...so they did have contact with what was going on with outside world.

Cesar doesn't seem to know about the island....could he still be a plant?

ETHAN...answers are a-coming! Juliet's answer to Amy about having her own baby: "Time has got to be right."...you better believe it! And recruits are doped up for the trip on the sub.

Hurley is worried about the Purge...he's the one who saw that pit.

Where is Faraday? When Sawyer says he's not there anymore...does he mean he's bonkers?

How does Ben know exactly where the camouflaged outriggers are?

You go girl! Sun has a mean swing!

Jack Workman! LOL Chang refers to the the outside world as "the other side" screwing up and not sending Jack's file.

So they were just building the Swan and needed to keep it's location secret from the Hostiles. Sawyer to Radzinsky: "Appreciate your input, Quickdraw!"

So those on Alcatraz are in another time. That better get explained! Christian...gosh everyone is showing up tonight!

Sawyer is so great putting Jack in his place...."I think, you reacted!"

YOUNG BEN is here, too!

Hi, maven, if you're still here! Great list! I loved this episode. I'm still rewatching and getting caps.

maven said...

Your Smokey cap was awesome!

maven said...

Did you see what Hurley's job is? I first thought it was Chef! LOL

maven said...

I just saw it again...Hurley is CHEF! LOL

Black Swan said...

Thanks maven..
I haven't seen Hurley's job yet.

here are some caps of the screens at the Flame:

one

three

Black Swan said...

Hurley = chef? perfect!!

maven said...

That white-haired news anchor in the middle top row is Jerry Dunphey...he was a staple on our local news shows for many years, especially in the 70's!

Black Swan said...

Good one, maven!

Ha! on rewatching I just realized Sawyer is the one who actually arranged for Kate, Hurley, and Jack's jobs! Jack says, work assignments? and Sawyer says, yeah, don't worry, I've got it all covered.

maven said...

Yep, Sawyer had a good laugh with that one! LOL It's amazing that the DI was prepared for all body types, isn't it?

I'm calling it a night. Good capping, BS!

Black Swan said...

I guess I'm the only one still awake now. From what I was saying before.. they call the situation with Sayid getting caught at the Flame a "14J"

And there are just bare branches and dead trees in Otherville

I gotta go to bed now... zzzz

memphish said...

14J was the same code from The Shape of Things To Come when Alex turned off the fence and the phone rang during the Risk game. So 14J=Hostile.

Since Smokey was in Othersville in 2007 does that mean the sonic fence has been off since late 2004? Whoever mentioned Christian's stagecraft when encountering Sun and Frank, bravo! I agree that Othersville was converted to Dharmaville for their benefit. Could we see Claire's destroyed house at all?

I noticed the Muppets last night too. I've just recently Nexflixed those to watch with my 9-year-old. I used to love those shows.

great episode, and great observations gang!

Did anyone else hear the Numbers over the plane's radio just before the landing? Somewhere during the turbulence, the flashing, and then the near-miss landing I thought I heard the numbers. Anyone corroborate?

memphish said...

I heard the numbers when the plane crashed! It sounded pretty robotic. Now someone needs to compare them to the ones Rousseau's team heard. Not me though.

good morning all, good stuff and thanks as always for the caps and links black swan and memphish.

1. Radinsky does look like Leonard. although when i first saw him i thought maybe he didnt commit suicide but was killed because he knew to much.

2. Frank could fly me anywhere.
3. Juliet delivered Ethan and was recruited to the island by ethan because of her fertility skills..kinda creepy.
4. Is chrisitian dead or alive?
5. could the reason for Sun staying in present time be because shes a mother?
6. Sawyer was great and i have a new confidence that he and Jules are together for good.
7. i am worried about Sayid.
8. if the Sun/Frank are on the main island in present time why is the camp look so literally dead.
9. when christian showed the pictures on the wall i immediately thought of the shinning.

sorry for the long post but after two weeks this was a exceptional episode

bigdog said...

memphish i agree the woman in the room looks like worker wearing a tee-shirt not claire type outfit

Twinkle said...

Morning! Had a thought last night about why Richard Doesn't age. Do you think Christian will continue to age? Will Locke now? They could all be part of the three resurrection musketeers. No wonder Ben's jealous.

Actually I don't think this is likely, but it's a thought. Another not likely but more preferable explanation, IMO, is that Alpert is really the statue god in the flesh.

maven said...

Interesting that "Ghost" Christian was actually able to take off the 1977 Group picture off the wall and hand it to Sun. A true ghost cannot touch things.
