The man in the black suit is future Wizard. It makes sense. You all know it does.

[Orson]

Thank you all for commenting, I'm glad you thought the episode was ok, I cans ee that I should have re-read the other ep's again to get a better picture...

And the Man in Black is a future Wizard? Damn, I'm becoming predictable...

Insipired by the Floyd indeed. I was listening to the album as I wrote the episode.

Yes thats right, thats the scene. Now this is the most likely explanation, but there is nothing stopping Ki to put a spin on it

The pressure's on to come up with an inventive solutuion, Ki!

[Kiowa Warrior]

No, all this pressure is not good! lol

As to whether the Others are behind the darts and have stopped Widmore and his crew that does seem the most logical and likely angle to take, but the only thing about putting someone/something else behind them is whether it will be believable or not. I've got an idea to explain it, but if it doesn't read well then I'll just blame it on Vincent or someone :P

[Malion]

Well well well... I see we've moved to Script format.
This was a nice episode... but I can't help but be annoyed that Ben hasn't been seen since my episode.

Henry showed up in Hurley's illusion... but besides that, nothing.
Jack has lost his initial drive. Whatever that was.

It seems like this season is trying to frantically revert things to the way that they were before.
The snake in the mailbox wasn't supposed to scare us back to the beggining, it was supposed to jet us forward. :P

This was good though, and I did like that it was about Claire....
But... where is Aaron? :P
Is this Friends now? Can Ross and Rachel just forget their baby for several episodes?
Sorry.

It was very well written and it really adds some needed mystery... but the next people should really try to fill at least a few plot holes.
Contrary to popular belief, the later episodes are a tad harder, because you really must make the story your own, while at the same time, follow all the several plots layed before you.

Luck to all who lie ahead.

But... where is Aaron?

He was with Sun ... it's boring to read about a baby

I agree with Malion about it getting more difficult lol ... whoever has to write the final few episodes are gonna be so stressed piecing everything together lol!

[E Pluribus Unum]

Excellent read Ors (had a nice snack during too )

I know the Jack/Kate/Jules/Sawyer triangle isn't the most desirable of plot lines but I thought you did (in particular) Jack and Kate very well. I loved the closing scene where you had Jack constantly complaining and blaming Kate and for him to turn round and say "I'm the one following you" - I thought that was a very symbolic perspective

Also, I loved Sawyers "Everyone likes bunnies...right?" line, perfect

I, too, thought Claire's husband was going to be Desmond, and I did flinch when it turned out to be Charlie (not another alternate future episode!) but I liked the 'she was actually living in her own world' explanation. Didn't see that coming!

My only little problem was with Juliet's rant to Kate about her and Jack having to stay apart - it was a very 'Ben' thing to say, but having said that it's an interesting point - as Jack later says almost the same thing.

Overall all though it was very good, and it all came together nicely I thought

And re: all the 'unanswered questions' - this is lost remember. (We still don't know what the BS is, what the B&W stones are for, or any of the others) So I wouldn't worry about it too much

[Malion]

I was just saying it because, last I left him... he was still in his crying stage... I was hoping that would be more important to the storyline is all...
Especially since Aaron would be a comfort to Claire... seeing as he is family.
Plus bringing him in could reveal Charlie's DS Ring. hmm... I need to be quiet... I'm ruining everyone else's ability to write something we were'nt thinking of. :P

Yep, she was looking after Sun so Claire could be on her own.
