Good question. I don't know the answer. But I'll bet that she kills Michael in the Dining Room with the Candlestick...or is that with the butt of a rifle. :yikes:

As for finding out why the plane crashed...I'm sure that whatever is revealed, it won't answer your questions...it'll only raise more. :ihih:

Kam, I don't understand what you're saying about people being blackmailed to take the 9 tailies from their camp. Don't you think that was The Others kidnapping them? For some reason The Others don't want to just take the Fusies. Maybe they feel that the Fusies are too organized now, there's too many of them and they'll fight back harder than the Tailies were able to. Besides, the Fusies are armed. The Tailies weren't. And, according to Goodwin, the Tailies were taken because they were "good". We know that the four Fusies that The Others are after are no saints. So, what do they want with our four lead characters? I'll bet that after next week, we still won't know the answer to that one.

And, Charlie took the serum. That is going to have significance at some point, I'm sure.

Did you catch the new web site listed on the Hanso Commercial? www.letyourcompassguideyou.com. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

i checked on the site, and apparently its a big jeep marketing promo. the compass site (which has latin in the top for let your compass guide you) takes you back to the hanso site and lets you access exec bios, and you see some emails from some execs to the hanso foundation about... that's right, a big jeep order that goes wrong and so they cancel the delivery of... that's right, the new jeep compass. so... very dissapointing, but its just a big promo tie in for the new jeep called the 'compass'.

and was just ruminating on the whole method of the Others, that their little communion over there may not be so chummy chummy and that they are more of a loose federation of people who are being blackmailed to help their cause at some point or another ala michael. just looking WAAAAY too much into things and am prolly wrong on this one, that it was just the Others sending their own peeps to kidnap the 'good' tailies, but thought it could be the Others sending in new recruits who's kids they have kidnapped to force them to kidnap the tailies.

ok so a few more observations...

did anyone think that wasn't walt's voice coming out of walt? there was defn something strange in that scene when he first walks in and it really sounds like some other kids voice lipsynced to walt.

ms. clue is spelled "klugh" and saw that she might be the woman from the flashes in the monster smoke that confronted eko, see:

Ms. Klugh:

Eko's Woman in Monster Smoke:
http://lost.cubit.net/pics/2x10/ekoVsMonsterWoman2.jpg

and didnt ms. klugh say that they couldnt go to get FH back? was is that they wouldnt want to, the whole, here's the line not to cross, and everyone's happy thing, or that they actually CAN'T go to that side of the island? although FH is an other and he was fine over there.... ugh... more questions hehehe.

found this on the lost cubit site, someone's figured it out:

Good news for next season...

ABC Promises Uninterrupted Blocks of 'Lost'
Emmy-winning hit will make way for 'Day Break' in January
By Daniel Fienberg
May 16 2006


It's a plight that "Lost" fans know all too well -- You tune in on a Wednesday night praying for a new episode only to find a random repeat from nearly a season earlier, or else a lengthy and unexpected clip show. ABC is hoping to eliminate that experience.

Following a format somewhat resembling FOX's successful treatment of "24," ABC revealed its new fall schedule on Tuesday (May 16), vowing to dramatically reduce "Lost" repeats. The plan calls for "Lost" to begin the season in its standard Wednesday 9 p.m. ET time slot, but just when the show would typically move into a rerun cycle in the winter, ABC has an alternative up its sleeve.

"We really wanted to just say to the audience, 'Listen, it's going to be on for this block here and then we'll bring it back and it will run straight through,'" explains ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson. "So yes, the plan is that 'Lost' will come on in the fall in the first or second week of the season, run for seven episodes and then 'Day Break' will launch into that period and 'Lost' will come back in January or early February and run straight through for the remainder for the season."

That way, instead of wondering why Shannon and Boone suddenly seem to be alive again and why the castaways are still scratching their heads over the contents of the mysterious hatch, viewers can follow Taye Diggs as he relives the same day over and over again trying to avoid being framed for murder.

"I think it's the best role he's ever played," McPherson says of Diggs and his "Day Break" character. "He just explodes off the screen and really is a TV star. I think that like 'Lost,' it's a challenging area, but we really feel like in the drama world that's what we do well and we want to take those chances."

McPherson wouldn't rule out the possibility that "Lost" repeats might still air in different time periods, including the 8 p.m. hour before fresh content. He also refused to leak any information on new cast members.

"There are no new people at this point," he hedges. "All the cast are returning except the people we shot on 'Lost.'"

Although convention wisdom holds that a schedule loaded with new programming and low on repeats is an expensive schedule, McPherson urges pundits not to cry for either ABC or "Lost."

"It's an extremely profitable show for everyone," McPherson reassures the masses. "There's DVDs that'll be out, there's the dotcom, there's going to be a lot of content... The thing to keep in mind is that it won't be three-on/one-off/two-on/one-off. There will be no break in the aired episodes. Much like '24,' you will be able to come into that experience and stay with it week after week after week."

McPherson explains that it's all just part of a changing television landscape in a medium which is offering viewers more options than ever before.

"It's a more expensive schedule, but I think the audience is more demanding right now," he says. "I think that the audience has so much choice, is so sophisticated, is so demanding now that we have to work into our schedule more and more original programming and I think that giving the audience what they want is something we're charged with doing."

So the Compass site is a commercial?! I was disbelieving, thinking that there has to be more to it. The producers of Lost wouldn't use their die-hard fans in this manner would they? They don't think that we're just a bunch of mindless consumers who will fall for this kind of insulting behaviour do they? Well, apparently they do.

Go to this site. http://www.lostlinks.net/ Scroll down just a wee bit to where it says Lost Videos and click on the link that says, ABC News Exposes Hanso. I never did get on to the Sublymonal site last week, and now I'm glad that I didn't waste my time. Is anyone else as pissed off as I am over this? :incazzato:

Huh. I went back to thehansofoundation site and found a news releases from this Hugh McIntyre chap that wasn't there before. It condemns the Bad Twin release as slander. He's the PR guy and requires a password for more info. Anybody know the password or does it just take me to the Jeep commercial y'all are talking about? I have to think thehansofoundaton.org is much more than just a commercial vehicle. Remember that letter from the Joop link? That has nothing to do with marketing.

As for the episode, I thought it was interesting to portray a few of the Others are normal people, such as the gal asking about Claire and whether the baby was a boy or girl. We've all made up the Others to be the enemy, when the reality may be just a few (Ms. Klugh) are exerting iron-fisted control over their clan. BTW, that was definitely a fake beard on the guy that captured Michael. Did anybody catch the symbol on the hatch door of the Other's camp? It looked like a rectangle, but I couldn't make anything out.

Favorite line of the night: Sawyer, "At least now we get to kill someone."

I hate to say it, but I'm completely geeked about next week's finale! :D

I am no expert, but I think that the girl that was asking about Claire is the FRENCH womans daughter. She is about that age. We would need some photos of when she helped Claire escape the hospital hatch, and the girl that knocked out Micheal.

But my money is on it being the same person.

As far as the block of new episodes....NYPD Blue did the same thing for about the last 3 years. It worked, but it was a LONG hiatus between showings. I like LOST enough to return though.

it seems like its the equivalent of product placements in the movies. since they cant (at least so far) have any product placement in the show itself, the only marketing tie-ins have ot come through the web (ala the sprite tie in and now this jeep tie in). so am sure it's prolly the same content they would want to have on the hanso site, but they just changed the letters from:

'we can't deliver the cars to your site because of xyz complication'

its now

'we can't deliver the new jeep compass' coming out in summer 2006 at a dealership close to you for x amount of dollars base price to your site because of xyz complication.'

I agree. Right after that touching moment when he, sort of, calls Jack his friend. It was priceless!

Groundbeef, the girl in each of those scenes is the same person and is, as you thought, the French Woman's (Danielle) daughter Alex. I can't wait for that reunion! I wonder if Alex even knows who her mother is. Imagine, Alex has spent her entire life on the island. What would it be like for her to make her way to the real world? Could be a Lost spin-off. No? Like Crocodile Dundee or Blast From the Past. :)

Here's a few questions for your perusal...

1. There were guys with guns standing guard outside the door of The Other's hatch. Was it to keep people out or to keep whoever's inside (the children?) in?

2. Where do you think that Locke was walking off to at the end?

3. If Fake Henry's mission was to come and get Locke as he said, why isn't Locke on the list of people that Michael has to bring back?

4. Why doesn't anyone but Ecko seem to care about the button anymore? Weren't they supposed to cover the button in shifts? We know why Locke deserted, but no-one else seems to care anymore either.

So, I bought a ticket to go and see the Carl Palmer Band on May 24th. Little did I know when I bought the ticket that it was Lost Finale night!!!!! You know that I'm not going to be able to enjoy the concert. I'm going to be sitting there wondering what's happening on Lost. ARGHHH!

Oh yeah, here's a little tidbit from a realiable source. I think I mentioned once that a good friend of my Mom's has a son who's a TV writer and was hired onto Lost at the end of S1. Well, it seems that now that Alias has ended, a bunch of the Lost writers have been fired (including Mom's friend's son) and the Alias writers are replacing them.

argh that's horrible! i hope they bring them back! alias seriously took a nosedive after the second season! the Lost writers have been phenomenal so far, i really hope the series doesnt tank with this new blood. can just wait and see i guess...

and this wed...THREE HOURSE of Lost!!!! woohoo!!!

8PM
"Reckoning"
The survivors of Oceanic flight 815 have been locked in a test of faith ever since they crashed on the island. Discover how this faith has been tested for both the fuselage survivors and tailies.

9-11PM
"Live Together, Die Alone"
SEASON FINALE
After discovering something odd just offshore, Jack and Sayid come up with a plan to confront "The Others" and hopefully get Walt back. Meanwhile, Eko and Locke come to blows as Locke makes a potentially cataclysmic decision regarding the "button" and the hatch, on the two-hour season finale.

1. There were guys with guns standing guard outside the door of The Other's hatch. Was it to keep people out or to keep whoever's inside (the children?) in?
Ans. keep people out, it's santa's workshop. that's the big reveal at the end. its really the north pole, hence the polar bears, the weird magnetic crap going on, etc.

2. Where do you think that Locke was walking off to at the end?
Ans. Bathroom

3. If Fake Henry's mission was to come and get Locke as he said, why isn't Locke on the list of people that Michael has to bring back?
Ans. They want the people on that list dead.

4. Why doesn't anyone but Ecko seem to care about the button anymore? Weren't they supposed to cover the button in shifts? We know why Locke deserted, but no-one else seems to care anymore either.
Ans. Give enough time and people forget about the most important things. (WMD?)

So, I bought a ticket to go and see the Carl Palmer Band on May 24th. Little did I know when I bought the ticket that it was Lost Finale night!!!!! You know that I'm not going to be able to enjoy the concert. I'm going to be sitting there wondering what's happening on Lost. ARGHHH!
Ans. I get to see it before you. Na na na na na (read in a child's singsong voice).

Anotheronebitesthedust. You guys (and that includes me) are pathetic. U2 FA.

Best. Show. Ever.

i guess that was an accurate tagline for the season... everything DOES happen for a reason....

so..... we got a few solid answers however....
what in the????????
flying green phoenix bird??????
and Four toes???????
and elizabeth????????
and libby???????
and not to say i told ya so (given that i've spewed out about 100 theories that have been crap and odds are this one will be debunked next season but at least so far...) Fake Henry... leader of the Others aka the Hostiles??!! Told ya so!!!
and the incident?????
and kelvin???? (kurgen from highlander, such a good role, i'll always hear him croaking out... "ramirezzzz") was that his name back when he set Sayid free? its the same guy, but was it the same name?
and the fake/ storage closet hatch?????
and the heading 3-25??????

And who were those Russian dudes in the (presumably) antarctic at the end?
And where the heck are Sayid, Jin, and Sun? Betting we see them in the first 5 minutes of Season 3?

Okay...when's the DVD come out? Season1's special features were killer. Hope they have more.

And what happened to Desmond in the emergency over-ride key tunnel? (a hatch within a hatch, go figure).

...the Russians that is, call Desmond's girlfriend? And isn't boat-lady Elizabeth Libby? Or am I nuts?

Are Desmond, Locke and Eko with the angels above, not lost but already found?

jimHJJ(...is it fall yet?...)

i thought they might be speaking portugese? anyone know for sure yet?

could elizabeth/libby be twins? or is it just all part of libby's nuttiness that got her in the asylum with hurley?

this is what was on the computer terminal the arctic dudes were typing on:

from :
http://lost.cubit.net/pics/2x23/terminal.jpg

and

http://lost.cubit.net/pics/2x23/anomalyDetected.jpg

and again... TOTALLY missed out on the giant lost.cubit.net words flashed right there on the page... how do i keep missing those??? :D

Random thoughts follow:

Well, it sure sounded like Russian to me. My guess is they worked for Pen, she did mention that she has a lot of resources when she found Des at the stadium. The real question is when they called Pen and said they found him? How does a magnetic anomoly equate to finding Des? :confused: Moreso, now that they've found something, does Pen send the Royal Navy out there to investigate. In effect, the "explosion" was giant signal flare.

Libby can be used as a nickname for Elizabeth, no? I mean, what else could it be short for? BTW, with here giving Des her boat, now I'm even more pissed we don't get to see her real backstory.

Gotta hand it to Henry setting up the fake camp for Michael. They obviously knew the Losties would figure it out. FH is pretty smart. They should have let Sayid kill him when they had the chance.

Michael sucks...but I can't say I blame him. Truth be told, as a father I'd probably do the same thing. Weighing the life of my son against the life of people I met on a plane 2 months ago...sorry, but I gotta go with blood.

We know how the plane crashed, but how did Kelvin get there?

Des is an accomplished sailor and yet he ends up right back at the island after how many weeks at sea? If he couldn't do it, how can Michael make it heading 325? Seriously, I didn't see a lot of supplies on that boat and it can't hold that much fuel.

Four toes?!? What was that Stonehenge thingie?

Another viral marketing attempt, this time by Monster (the career one, not the cable one). Yippee.

Kelvin and his former partner painted the map. Why in invisable ink? How did they know so much, including the locations of all the hatches? How did he get there and and how long has he been there?

It is September yet? :(


BTW: ABC and Fox suck for pitting the finales of Lost and AI against each other.

unfortunately i can answer one of your questions... it'll be october 4th when the season starts up again...

kelvin's name back when he knew sayid (if it's even the same guy) was joe, and now he's called kelvin... kinda like "martin cambell" sans arms (in the swan station) and then mark with arms (in the pearl station)...
there seems to be something to this "Bad Twin" theory we now have three sets...

Kelvin/Joe
Martin/Mark
Elizabeth/Libby....

Ho-ly crap! Just finished watching my tape from last night.

As an aside...The Carl Palmer Band was excellent, but I did check my watch at about 9:55 and think, "oooh, Lost is still on...wonder what's happening?". GMichael is right, I am pathetic. :biggrin5:

So, my thoughts on the Season Finale. When Libby gave Desmond her boat, shivers went down my spine. Now we know why she had to die, from a story perspective. You can't have Desmond return in Libby's boat and have Libby be there to see it. I think it's cool how the writers made sure that they completely missed each other. Libby was on the other side of the island when we met Des at the beginning of S2. And she died before he returned. Through all the connections that we have between the Losties, there's only one instance that I can think of where they actually met face to face outside of the airport and remember. That's Jack and Desmond's meeting. All of the other 'meetings' are more indirect, like Claire and Rose going to the same psychic. Or Sawyer and Ana-Lucia's separate meetings of Jack's father.

Maybe we'll learn more about Libby's back story through the stories of other people. I remember, shortly after S2 started and I got a Newsletter from the Lost writers (speaking of which, I think my last few newsletters are lost. It's been months and months since the last one) saying that there will be some exciting changes about who is telling the stories. I wonder if they meant that we'll learn some people's stories through their connections with other people? We learned about Libby in the nuthouse through Hurley's story. And that she was married and widowed through Desmond. Maybe we'll learn how she ended up in the nuthouse through someone else (depression after the death of Hubby?). Maybe we'll start getting some back stories about The Others next season and maybe Miss Klugh...or Bea as we now know her...was her doctor. Hmmmm.

I thought that the Russian guy at the end said, "I think we found IT". Not "him". I could be wrong. I'll have to go back and watch it again.

Maybe Penelope is spying on her Dad. Maybe she doesn't have anything to do with the island but is trying to locate something that Widmore Labs is working on. Some secret collaberation with The Hanso Foundation that her father is involved in but is denying exists. Maybe she hired the Russian guys to secretly hack into her father's secret computer network and watch for strange occurances. When the hatch exploded or whatever it was that happened, it gave them information on the location of the breach. Maybe I was out too late last night and up too early this morning and my brain is sleep deprived. I am surprised that we didn't see any polar bears outside their window.

So, will Michael and Walt actually get away? Will the island draw them back? Is the boat booby-trapped? Is there a trap waiting at 325? Will Michael's concience get the better of him and he'll go back to try and rescue Jack, Sawyer and Kate? Will he run into Sayid, Jin and Sun? If so, my prediction is that Michael leaves Walt with Sun while he joins Sayid and Jin in trying to rescue the other three. Will The Others kidnap Sun when they learn that she is pregnant?

Regarding the Hanso Commercials...this time round I noticed teeny tiny print on the ad that said, "Paid for by Monster.com". So I checked my tape for last week's ad and, sure enough, there was teeny tiny print saying, "Paid for by Jeep". I'm sure that if I go back to the previous week, I'll find teeny tiny print saying, "Paid for by Sprite". I am so done with those Ads.

Fake Henry rocks! Still the best actor on the show. But we still don't know his real name or who he is, exactly. I still have to wonder, if he were really the head Other, would he have been wandering around the island where he could get caught in a net? Russo's traps seem to require some sort of action to trigger them off. The Others wouldn't fall for them. I think that he got caught on purpose so that he could gather information on the Losties. He wasn't counting on them digging up the grave of "his wife" and finding out that he was lying. The head of any tribe wouldn't put himself at risk in that way. He would send a trusted guard or advisor. I think that FH may be high up on the totem pole, but I still don't believe that he's the top dog.

BTW Kam. I like your Bad Twin theory.
