According to the closed captioning, those guys at that arctic station were speaking Portuguese. It probably doesn't matter at all, but I thought it was interesting, because I would've guessed Russians as well. But hey, maybe the whole thing is a great Portuguese or Brazilian conspiracy. No one would be expecting THAT.

I was wondering one thing, though. At first I thought that Kelvin guy who was in the hatch with Desmond was the same guy as the one with the fake beard. They sound the same, but then when the guy took the beard off, I didn't think they were the same anymore. Does anyone know?

I'm surprised that some people on here are so impatient with Lost. So yeah, they ask more questions than they answer, that's the whole fun of the show! It makes you think! This instant gratification need that TV viewers these days seem to have is getting really annoying, and if one can't handle Lost then one should stick to House or CSI. If you guys read a murder mystery, do you get really frustrated when you're on page 40 and they STILL haven't revealed who the murderer is?

Not the same, one is played by Clancy Brown and one is played by MC Gainey. IMO they also look completely different, but I've heard a couple of people already say they're the same. But they're defintiely not. However, Kelvin was Sayid's commanding officer during the Gulf War (after Sayid was forced to join the Americans as an interrogator/torturer).

I loved it! We finally learned why the plane crashed and what happens if they didn't put in the numbers.


I'm still not so sure we know what happened to the plane. When Desmond didn't put in the numbers, the field started throwing some pots and pans around inside the hatch, but all the heavy stuff was still in place (including, significantly, the Commodore 64 or whatever old computer that is). So how could it destroy a plane that was kilometers away? There had to be something else, something that was maybe triggered by the field from the hatch, but not that field itself.

I'll be really surprised if they're dead. Charlie was pretty close to the scene and he survived just fine, why wouldn't the other two? Three if you include Desmond, who was closest to the incident but probably not dead either, otherwise this whole Penny storyline will be pointless. Besides, as you say, they're fun characters, killing them off would come close to killing off the show.

What Jack, Kate and Sawyer had in common is that they all had visions on the island: Jack saw his father, Kate and Sawyer both saw the horse.

The beauty of it is that the characters can be killed off and still come back in flashbacks.

I haven't read it but you're making me want to read by saying 'Dont Read it'. LMAO. I am only up to episode 5 in season 2. It is the best thing on TV alongside Dr WHo

I could only reason that the fake beard were because maybe one of 815's survivors might recognize him and know him from before the crash??

I think the whole end section in the station with the Portugese was to relate the island to the 'real world'. Show that the world hasn't ended, that some people are searching for clues.

My speculations for S3 are:
We will see the Others take Jack, Kate and Sawyer to another location (hatch, compound, underground base or whatever). I think these three will play less of a major role next season.
I think that Charlie, Claire, Sayid, Jin, Sun and maybe Locke and Eko will play a larger role. Some of these characters haven't been utilized much this season.
If there is anything to the whole good/bad, two sides theories then Charlie will be bad. The kiss from Claire, whilst sudden and was kind of too forgiving from her, will be played out more and we may understand why.

The theme of the season will also be different.
S1 had survival after the crash, the monster/black smoke.
S2 had the hatch(es), the Tailes and the Others (but knowing nothing about them).
S3 might show the Others in more detail, there will be the after effects of the light/blast or whatever it was (probably won't be touched until later on).

Who knows for sure.

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that CSI and House (especially) were great shows.

I'm not intending to say that I don't like Lost. You're right in that the questions are part of the fun. It's what keeps you watching the next season. I can handle Lost just fine, thank you, and one doesn't need to be an "instant gratification" junkie to enjoy shows like CSI and House. Smart people actually watch them too.

Okay, some highlights:

- Did anyone notice in Desmond's flashback that it was Libby who gave Desmond the boat for the race? You know, Libby that Michael just killed and who was in the asylum with Hurley.

- Did anyone notice that Libby told Desmond her husband's name was Dave? Remember please that "Dave" was the name of Hurley's imaginary friend in the asylum and who he later saw on the island.

- If they took Kate, Jack & Sawyer because they had "visions" of people or things on the island that could not be there, why let Hurley go when he had visions of Dave running around.

- Why was Echo not taken when he has had a vision of Annalucia?

- What is up with that huge foot of what must have been a huge statue of white stone that Sayid spotted on the coast? Why does it only have four toes???

- "Zeek" was wearing a fake beard to appear to be a castaway to our group. Remember him in the Claire flashback in the medical hatch when he is talking to Ethan about Claire and her baby? Remember how he was clean shaven and in clean clothes. He has to be part of the Dharma Initiative.

- I believe that Echo and Locke are alive as they are both signed up for next season.

- I don't think we will see much of Michael or Walt next season as they are only signed on for a couple of shows each. Might be they return or are recaptured.

- If the "Others" were so eager to get Walt & went to such trouble to get him, how come they just let Michael take him when he betrayed Jack, Sawyer, Hurley and Kate?

- Did anyone else get the impression that "Henry Gale" is really in charge of the "Others"?

Browncoat1,

1. Libby/Elizabeth said her husband's name was David. I did not do the math that it might have been Dave, but I did notice that both Desmond and David start and end in D.

2. Besides Eko, Locke and Charlie have also had visions.

3. Regarding the statue, did you notice there was no debris around the base. The water couldn't be THAT deep, and that would be a LOT of stone.

4. Not sure if Fake Henry is really in charge or not...

5. I've been racking my brains trying to come up with some connection between Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley. The only thing I can come up with is that these are the people who knew that kate was a fugitive. However, as a nice side effect, if you remove Jack, Kate, and Sawyer from, say, 3-6 episodes, you save a whole bunch of star's salary. They have to be the three highest paid ones.
