Watched ep 13 last night. Sawyer stole the guns...that dirty scoundrel.
Hopefully I'll catch up on th last 2 tonight.

I agree with you guys...the show would be better if it ran 23 consecutive weeks. And I bet ABC is keeping tabs on viewer feedback very closely. This kind of soap opera/drama needs continuity and rapid succession in story telling. Oh well, the next 2 months should be fun.

I don't have many theories as to what's going on here. To be honest, I've learned from experience a story like this that leaves the audience guessing, anticipating, begging for more, can never please everyone in the end. So I keep my expectations low, try not to guess too much so I don't set myself up for disappointment. All I know is that this is the first show in years (except for maybe 1 season of CSI) that I've watched that wasn't animated, didn't star Jerry Seinfeld, or didn't have Klingons in it...so I'm happy there's still some good TV on. (okay there's another - Canada has the best show I've seen in years called "Trailor Park Boys", but it's still relatively unknown back at home).

It comes in HD and Dolby Digital to boot!

I'm still torn between whether the Island is part of another Area 51/Government Conspiracy project thing or, if it belongs with the supernatural/alien/twilight zone camp.
Maybe both?

I may have missed this awhile back in the thread...but has anyone been keeping tabs on some of the book titles we've or have been name dropped in the shows? Tons of classic sci-fi/supernatural thriller stories that this show borrows a lot from (besides Lord of the Flies of course). I think there might be clues there - I have a feeling the island might be a sort of Purgatory because of the last 2 book titles I saw were about guys that were dead but didn't know it, but it's been years since I've read "The Turn of the Screw" and "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".
I took a campy sci-fi lit course back in university...and these were two of the novels I remember, both were told from the "unreliable narrator" perspective - where we're given information and we believe what we're watching is the truth, but later on it's revealed what we saw was just an illusion or misinterpretation from someone's perspective. Both of those were dead guy walking the earth/ghost story kind of books too...maybe the survivors are all dead, but in denial?

anyhoo, I could be way off reading more into that, but more food for thought.
