I missed it tonight. Gotta wait for it to come online now I guess.

Next week is 2 hours, so I guess they are saving all the good stuff for then.

So anyways, what did you guys think about the show? (Sorry SSB, you weren't here and I just had to comment.

Persoanlly I found it to be sort of wierd.

First, the moral delima. Michael was always painted as a tragic figure of sorts. His failed relationship with the mother of Walt from season one is only one of the many things plagueing this guy. But the introduction of the female character who seems to be in charge of the other's "camp site" appears eerily like his ex-woman.

But desperation to get one's child back, especially a child he barely knows, doesn't sit well with me still with the killing of Anna Lucia and the crazy blonde bitch. I mean, he could've just told them all that he needed to make the trade with Henry. He could have lied and said that he wanted to take a small group of people back to the village and that they (the others) were willing to work out a final truce or something. But instead he chose a rather gruesome route.


The re-introduction of Walt was a nice touch, and if you'll notice, he's perfectly clean and whatnot. he even warns Michael that it's all some wierd kind of charade and that they are not who they say they are. Of course, that could mean anything


And what about the sailboat at the end of the show. Very interesting.

Also, Dominic Monahagn's shorter, more conservative hair just doesn't work for him. And the scene where he's throwing the virgin marry sculptures into the ocean was disturbing becuase it's obvious he doesn't have all that mesmerizing a bum.

Anyways, it seems the writers are saving all their "gotcha's" for the last episode next week. I just hope it doesn't deflate like the Matrix Revolutions.

I finally watched this on DVR last night (Alias and sleep took priority on Wednesday) - I thought the episode was well done, and I for one like that answers to questions are being given, only to reveal more questions. I'm really looking forward to next week's finale.

I still don't get why Michael shot Ana-Lucia, though - Ms. Clu in the flashback didn't mention anything about this, and only mentioned bringing those four people.

Does anyone else think Michael could have just gone back, told everyone what just happened and that he had been given four names of people to bring back to the others, and do it honestly? Jack, Sawyer and Kate probably would have been fine with it, Hurley might not, but then they could have devised a plan - instead, no-one trusts Michael, and he and Walt may both end up dead (or gone) as a result.

I bet Desmond is in that sailboat.

or Walt's mother, back from the dead, coming to rescue her son from Michael...

I was an ok-episode, they've finally shed some light on the others, how they live etc.....but we still know nothing.....
The 'Hugo'-mention by Michael (instead of calling him Hurley) I also noticed. On the other hand: I really do not think that it was foreseen by the writers to have Libby & Ana Lucia killed in this season.....I believe there is a lot to do with their DUI-offences recently.....in other words: they got canned from the show..... Why do I think so? Remember episode 18 ('Dave')? In the end of that episode you saw in Hurley's flashblack that Libby was in the same institute as he was..... This plotline has now been buried on the beach, with Hurley only saying: 'Libby was a psychiatrist....or something.....'
I see this as a flaw.....

The boat in the end looks too small to have been sailing for a long time (meaning: to cross any ocean)....

Best line:
Sawyer talking about Ana Lucia: 'I screwed her'

Really, somebody give me a good reason why they got rid of Ana Lucia that fits in the storyline.....

Because Ana-Lucia was about to shoot Henry Gale and that was Michaels only way of getting Walt back
