Lost - Season Three

[Stephen Veteran]

Is it possible for that island to receive satellite broadband?...just a hunch :blush:

Satelite BB would be impossible here, as belive it or not, sateliete aculy requires you to have a dedicated modem connection, as you can only RECIEVE via satelite not send, this means that there downrate is thru there satelite, and up would be thru modem

Anyone think Juliet and Jack going to Hook up? I think they are, since Kate seems to going for Sawyer... :no:

i second this

So here is my theory. The others really want a Zoo, so they are going to turn Sawyer into a polar bear, Kate into a tiger (that wears a dress), and Jack into a Dolphin.

LMFAO

But notice HOW close the Underwater Hatch to the Island? Just very short Distance!

i think theres like a hatch oin the island leading to a tunnel on the sea bed, going to it.

[costanza007]

Could you use a satellite phone for the uplink to a broadband satellite connection?

[Computer Guru]

Yes.

They have some sort of access....

Teleporting machines anyone :)

[SuperJediMedia]

There is Definitely direct CONTACT with the outside world in my mind, not just Internet

No, I just set up a corporation with satellite internet from an Island HQ that didn't have DSL provided here in the middle east.

We had an option of Satellite receiving and upload via normal dial-up or pay 2 times as much and do both send and receive from satellite.

IT's the same tech used by news people when they go to africa and asia and do their streaming video feeds live to the HQ in america/europe.

One more thing: who says they DON'T have phone lines anyway?

I mean, did you see that first bit? I thought they were in Suburban America!

I mean, why not? If Hanso is big and rich, it could easily have Cable internet even!

(then again, if they had cable tv why would they have book club meetings :p)??

[RGSPro]

why do people think the hatch is underwater? why cant it just be in some water next to the island? Or partially in water, or even in a lake?

[SuperJediMedia]

Whereever it is, it's VERY CLOSE to the Land

Maybe just UNDER Kate's Cage!

[Computer Guru]

Because Jack asked, and they told him it was underwater and thus named "Hydra"

re-watch the episode, it's theer.

This applies to the consumer sattelite broadband maybe (like that girl on the HughesNet ads) but remember, the Dharma Initiative is/was part of the Hanso Foundation. If anyone caught wind of the wild goose chase "Lost Experience" duing the summer, you'll know that the Hanso foundation has significant financial resources. I wouldn't be surprised if they even have their own private comm satellite or at least share a network of private satellites. The technology exists to get high-speed internet (up and down stream) via satellite. While it may not be available for the average Joe, if you've got a big enough wallet you can make it happen.

Some other thoughts:

I think The Others themselves (excluding Ben) are not so much more ahead on knowledge of what the island actually is than the Losties. Ben perhaps has a senior staff of people who coordinate things and in turn supply the rest of the Others with just enough information for them to be useful. Ben definately knows what's going on though. Juliet is probably one of Ben's elite. We still don't know why Sawyer, Kate and Jack were chosen...and we probably won't find that out for some time.

I don't think the facility is a zoo. I think it was used for animal experimentation and testing for some of the projects developed by Hanso. The cage where Sawyer was being held was no ordinary zoo habitat - there wouldn't be a logistics puzzle in place for the animals to get something as basic as food and water. The Hydra, the underwater hatch, was probably used as an animal enclosure for experiments as well. Something big happened to the whole facility where the Others are. Something big. And whatever it was, it was destructive and it probably happened quite a while ago. Perhaps it was Dharma's secession from Hanso....

From the end of S2, we learned that when Desmond screwed up and didn't enter the code and the electromagnetic site started to go critical, a tremendous magnetic field was generated which exerted just enough force on Oceanic 815 to crash it into the island. However, when this happened it triggered an earthquake at Otherville (the others' main camp) and everyone reacted accordingly. Except Ben. He came running out and looked up, almost anticipating the plane to come streaking across the sky. With a few quick orders, Ethan was dispatched and things were in motion. This further supports the theory that Ben may know more than the rest of the Others, save for a few.

Did the destruction of the hatch make an even bigger earthquake? Did it pull anything else down from the sky?

I guess we'll find out.

hmmm ... did any1 notice that little sarcasm in julia's reply at the end of the episode when ben congratulated her? Considering the fact that he escaped and locked the door behind him leaving julia and jack at the mercy of the water, I say she might hate him a little more now.

[Lost in Translation]

I think they all were given the truth syrum.. hence the inection marks on all three of them. Same thing happened to claire in season 1or2.. she gets kidnapped.. they inject her.. she tells them anything, does anything they want. Also when claire escaped.. she was halucinating as well. Sawyer, kate, Jack could have been drugged for awhile, hence the hunger they each had when waking up.

The others are slowly breaking each one of them down.. according to their character traits. Jack is stubborn.. hard to build trust with. They slowly make him comply and start to gain his trust. Sawyer is independant & proud.. the kid (karl?) who helps him escape created the sitiuation where sawyer was dependant on him (& now probably has gained his trust)... and almost obviously..

The whole escape was a set-up.

They escape from the cages.. the kid tells sawyer to run the other way.. Juliette, as if waiting for sawyer appears, conveniently reaches for a electro-shock gun and puts him down like a bear. The kid at the same time applies fake-blood, as if caught as well. Sawyer can now think the kid as a confidant, thus giving the "others" there all pervasive upper-hand.

Kate on the other hand.. she's a pretty secretive character.. not so sure yet what her parallel to what I said above is yet..

Benny & Juliette.. ya there definitely is tension, which does look like it came from a past relationship. I would say Juliette will eventually change sides.. hence the forshadowing at the book club (in the beginning) where she's expressing her difference in opinion with big boss benny in this context, a book.. which btw does anyone recognize.. its by stephen king i think.. maybe childre of the corn..? probably has relevance.

On another note all this talk about internet connection and the hatch underwater.. come on guys keep focused.. The hatch (hydra) btw.. is on the island.. has an aqaurium.. is where they used to keep caged animals to study.

And the "Others" are definitely the outcome of the Dharma initiative.. trying to lead their utopian life at all costs..

That's all I can think of at the moment ;) if anyone has anything to add to general character traits of each of the survivors.. please do.. these details have lots of hidden relevance.

-Lost in Translation..

[Computer Guru]

the "injection marks" are from the mysterious vaccine.

[lol911]

Well, I have a couple of observations that I found interesting:

-There are CD-players, ovens, etc... but no computers, TVs as we could see.

-Ethan is a plumber :laugh:

-The book that Juliet reads is "Carrie" by Stephen King.

[SuperJediMedia]

One of the Spoilers NEXT week

Ben makes a very tempting offer to Jack that may prove difficult to refuse.

And we saw from the trailer that

Kate & Sawyer are gonna Kiss again

And it will be a

Sun & Jin

Episode

And,

Sun has a dream of her future, featuring her 9-year-old daughter.

French women's Daughter, Alex & New personality Colleen (Paula Malcolmson)

are in the Cast for next week

-The book that Juliet reads is "Carrie" by Stephen King.

hmm...I sense forshadowing.

And I can't wait to see Sayid crack open that big can of military WHOOP-ASS next week.

[Storm]

Ace ep :) a lot of questions were answered :D

[SuperJediMedia]

hmm...I sense forshadowing.

And I can't wait to see Sayid crack open that big can of military WHOOP-ASS next week.

Actually,

Sayid's plan to locate Jack places Sun and Jin's lives in grave danger.

Nice.. thx!.. so check this.. Carrie by Stephen King..

The story of a teenage girl with telekinetic powers. Carrie White was an outcast, who is pushed beyond human limits when she is cruelly taunted in front of her Prom, and she unleashed her frightening power upon the small New England town of Chamberlain in 1979.

Leaving the school and town looking like a warzone, Carrie turns her power on the only person she truly loves and hates - her fanatically religious mother, with devastating results.

Translation:

So Juliette.. is kinda becoming an outcast within the others.. maybe the tension between her and Benny is because she was "cruelly taunted" in front of everyone by ben.. she will probably eventually change sides and maybe she will leave the village in ruins.. and turn her anger on the only person she truly loves and hates.. the fanatically religious "Ben"!

wow. :)

[SuperJediMedia]

Who are

Nikki and Paulo

?

New faces?

[Rappy Veteran]

From the Canadian Promo

We see pickett laying out instructions to sawyer and it seems later on he kicks pickett over in the american promo so I would assume he tries to run for it again and are they building something?

[Computer Guru]

WHERE's MONICA!?!?!?!!?!?

BTW:

Eko still lives.

That's given in that there's an Eko-centric show coming up.... and Locke lives since JJ promised to reveal his wheelchair secret...

Only Desmond is "Status: Unknown" but with Penny....... i say he lives.

bah that doesn't matter. Sayid = awesomeness.

Spoiler Tag that!

[tronmaster]

Yea, I strongly agree that "The Others" have no actual file on Jack or of Kate and Sawyer accept what was told to them. But Jack was physically and emotionally was getting beaten down so he couldn't think straight. Juliet and "The Others" have no idea what is going on in the real world, don't know about Sarah or that Desmond's wife/girlfriend? is looking for the Island.

Good episode, the first 5 minutes were way cool.

[oldaccount1]

No--he's alive too. Look at the season 3 poster. ;)
