20 Minutes till go time folks!!!

Wow!! Great episode. I have to go to work now, but I definitly have some things to say about this epi as I am sure you all do. Can't wait to hear from everyone

TheDharmaShark · 05-09-2008, 03:31 PM

How the hell do they intend to move the Island? ;O

***firebreathingfishies*** · 05-09-2008, 05:23 PM

Ah crazy Mister Keamy

Alpert the kiddy stalker?

And is Claire drugged again? Sure does look like it.

Moving the Island? Is it on castors?

Yeah I'll actually have something proper to say later... I just don't know what to make of it all right now.

TheDharmaShark · 05-09-2008, 06:16 PM

You'd think Locke would've remembered Alpert, possibly?

And the whole moving the Island thing, I think The Orchid is going to come into play here somewhere, they didnt release that video for nothing.

***firebreathingfishies*** · 05-09-2008, 06:19 PM

Yeah i thought that

Definately. Either that or they'll add tie ropes around their waists, tie the other ends to the island and just swim for it

Notice the Dharma logo on the front of the file that Keamy got out of the box with the two keys? I think it's safe to say that Widmore was in charge/affiliated with Dharma at some point.

TheDharmaShark · 05-09-2008, 06:21 PM

It was the same logo that was on Ben's parka apparently. And that device Keamy had strapped to his arm, they put some emphasis on showing it.

And I just have to say, RIP Ray and Captain Gault.

Great episode.

Definitely one of the more confusing ones.

KatesFate · 05-10-2008, 04:41 AM

Did I somehow miss it or did they not do.....Previously On Lost.... last night? I felt like something was missing from the opening after that. lol

Him · 05-10-2008, 04:45 AM

As far as I'm aware, they didn't do it. They don't always do it. Didn't happen in the pilot (

), Eggtown, The Man Behind The Curtain, or Walkabout, to name but a few.

KatesFate · 05-10-2008, 05:06 AM

Wow, good memory!!!

Cabin Fever. Wow, one of my favourite ever episods of Lost..and one of the most important in my opinion. This wasn't "The Shape of Things to Come", but it was almost as good due to the amount of layers and mystery that it unravelled before our eyes.

It's no secret that Locke is my favourite Lost character (along with Ben), and so I was stoked to see that it was his centric - I knew from the off that it had to be either Locke or Ben, since both of their mothers share the name "Emily".

The backstory was fresh and intriguing - it's amazing how some of my (and i'm sure other peoples) oldest theories from season 1 seem to be hitting the mark (or nearly hitting the mark) - Locke was not quite a 'Dharma child' as I once predicted, but he was certainly a 'Mittelos baby'. And who would have thought - Mittelos pre-date Dharma! Wow, just wow..this is so awesome that I simply do not have the words to do my excitement justice - you can tell i'm excited, right!???

Seriously, how cool was it to see the return of both Nestor Carbonell and Lance Reddick (Alpert and Matthew Abbadon)! What's interesting is that from this episode, it would appear that they are both on the same side - i.e. Mittelos/Jacob - yet we clearly see Abbadon recruit the Freighties on behalf of Charles Widmore. Unless Abbadon switches sides at some point?

What I found most interesting about this episode was the notion of predestination - destiny..and most of all choosing your destiny, if not your fate. The scene w
