I can see why people are slighly ****ed off with flashbacks, i mean 18 minutes of commercials and then the flashbacks is a joke!

i disagree. we're seeing different points in the lives of the survivors. how they were, and how they've changed since coming to the island. i think this not only builds the character as someone else mentioned, but it also opens each of the characters and shows us why they do/say the things do/say at a more personal level.

Ugh....it's not about Sun losing the ring. Don't you understand that? Do you need people to spell it out for you?

Every episode of Lost doesn't have to be "amusing" or intense. If each episode was like that, we'd all get bored very fast.

It's called build-up. You can't have life shattering revalations every episode.

I really liked this episode. Just because there's no "action or suspense" doesn't it necessarily have to make it a good show. If you forgot already, most episodes during the first season were very similar.

The reason you have to wait 3 weeks is because they have to fill in 24 episodes from September to May. That is the reason why shows are hiatus for weeks at a time. I remember this happening the first 3 seasons of 24. It sucked. Finally Fox made a good decision and started the show in January running straight to May, withouth and breaks.

Maybe ABC will start this very soon knowing their fans can't wait.

(my wife's post)

The Foresters

There is a definite distinction between the barefoot, silent, reticent & apparently non-technological forest tribe that Jin and Mr Echo watched walking past and the clean, shoed, technological and un-reticent group of people on the speedboat who kidnapped Walt.

I believe that the Forest people are not the Others (as they have been labelled by the Tailenders) but are in fact previous survivors who have carved out a life within the island. This theory is supported by the fact that there have been numerous boats, submarines, planes, etc have been crashing and becoming stranded on the island over a very long period of time. We have also met several other survivors (Danielle and Desmond for example) who have obviously been able to survive in a variety of ways. This would also explain why some of the Foresters?s were wearing torn and dirty jeans and the teddybear who was obviously not made on the island. These survivors are also afraid of the Others (maybe because they have / or had a child with them who was taken like Danielle and Michael - why would a child carry teddy on string instead of cuddle it? And looks like adult feet - More like an adult carrying in hope of finding child again) and may actually have mistaken the Tailenders for Others themselves (they appeared suddenly, have technology and were perhaps violent).

This means that the Tailender's might have killed their own people after they became sick (and so would explain why bodies not buried - as fear of contamination) OR the Forester's could have killed them, mistaking them for Others or in self-defence.

Also, how did the Tailenders come to know and use the term "the Others" ? Jack, Michael and them got this term from Danielle. Yet the Tailenders seemed to know what this meant when Michael used it for the first time... Could it be that they have heard this term before and just assumed that the Foresters were Others as consequence? Could they have come into contact with someone else like Danielle? Or even Danielle herself?

Why would the Forester?s be walking towards where the Others come from? Like Michael, are they seeking to find and recover a lost child? Or do they do this trip regularly to find food (as Ana said more food in there)?

BTW: There was an interesting theory that Hurley inputted the worng number into the system in everyone hates hugo. thus hugo knows that the world doesnt blow up.

And that he's not going to say anything and continue to force everyone input the dreaded numbers he absolutely hates? I doubt it very highly...

If he did input the wrong numbers, he would be jumping for joy and start telling everyone!

THE CODE IS MEANINGLESS (at least immediately)

The world does not blow up immediately if the code is not entered properly!! How do we know this? Because Hurley did not enter the code and the island still remains... at least for now.

Remember in Everyone Hates Hurley, the big guy was asleep at his post when Kate entered the room. She woke up Hurley and reminded him that the code numbers were taped on a piece of paper right on the monitor. Hurley had to enter the code and fast as the warning system was already beeping. Sure, Hurley replied, he was aware of the code numbers. He won the friggin' lottery numbers with them, after all. But, Hurley also believes the numbers are cursed. They're totally evil in his mind. He tried to stop the hatch from being open when he saw the numbers on them, and he ranted against them when Locke was about to enter those six deadly digits into the computer for the first time without Desmond around. He stopped ranting when Locke entered them in wrong (putting 32 instead of 42). He stopped ranting because he saw Locke was mistaken and he wanted Locke to enter the numbers wrong!

Did Hurley actually enter the numbers correctly when Kay turned around? We can't tell as the director conveniently switched camera angles so we could no longer see what he was typing. Why do we assume he entered the code properly?? Why would he???? He believes the numbers are cursed! He had to have entered the wrong numbers. Watch this scene again and you'll see I'm right--why does the director change the camera angle so we can't see what Hurley is entering if this is not so?

To back this statement up, a short time later Charlie confronts his bud Hurley about the hatch (after Locke had informed Charlie about what was inside there). Charlie said that he also knew about the numbers that had to be entered or else the world would blow up (his words, not mine). Hurley, in a very defense posture, responded back that the world certainly would not blow up if the numbers weren't entered right--how would he know this unless he purposely entered the numbers wrong?? I tell you, all the clues are there that Hurley did not enter the numbers properly...

I think it is a good theory
