I really felt that while they knew the plane crashed on the island, they didn't expect anyone to survive. <BR/><BR/>But this brings up an interesting point - The island's been sucking in planes, ships and balloons oh my for decades now (The Black Rock, the Beechcraft, Desmond, Henry Gale and possibly even Amelia Earhart). But Flight 815's crash was brought on by a one time coincidence: Desmond's failure to push the button. Obviously this had something to do with so many people surviving what would have been a totally fatal crash, but what properties of the island caused the rest of them? Was it the "cloaking field" that keeps the island hidden? It does seem to disrupt electronics, after all.<BR/><BR/>And thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting. It's this discussion with y'all that really makes Lost so enjoyable for me. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475817897723801757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-13221016709714185572008-02-09T10:29:00.000-05:002008-02-09T10:29:00.000-05:00Regarding Abbadon's "no survivors": I read his ton...Regarding Abbadon's "no survivors": I read his tone as "even if we find survivors, they will be taken care off so that officially, there are no survivors". I'm certain he knew there were survivors, just in a the world will never know otherwise, and let us never speak of this again kind of way.Missiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951110098375762357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-43471854480989723312008-02-08T19:11:00.000-05:002008-02-08T19:11:00.000-05:00Carly...ya know, I thought someone might think tha...Carly...ya know, I thought someone might think that's why I thought that...but no, I really felt that there could be a connection between the two. <BR/>We don't know Miles true purpose for being on the island and we know he's "special" So, I thought, maybe he has something to do with the Dr. and we don't know much about him either, except that he was affliated with Dharma...maybe Miles is looking for his long-lost daddy, which could be tied to the daddy issue story.<BR/>Keep in mind, I didn't know the producers picked Miles because of the Sopranos...but maybe, just maybe, the producers said that to throw us off their tracks?? :)Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429488340252651365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-24413987146034633002008-02-08T17:08:00.000-05:002008-02-08T17:08:00.000-05:00Miles and CandleWick do look alike, but Carly's ri...Miles and CandleWick do look alike, but Carly's right in that the writers said they cast him because he was so terrific on the Sopranos. <BR/><BR/>I almost expected to see Uncle Junior emerge from jungle and shoot Jack before wandering off again. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475817897723801757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-30526692074812562202008-02-08T16:15:00.000-05:002008-02-08T16:15:00.000-05:00Ha ha Kerin, are you saying that because they are ...Ha ha Kerin, are you saying that because they are both asian they should be related? I don't know why that strikes me as so funny, but it does. Actually if I remember correctly, the producers picked the actor for Miles after seeing how good he was on the Sopranos. Now whether they worked him into being related to our good Dr. I don't know. He's kinda creepy, did you see the preview for next week?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939593555643148973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-29494393452657569482008-02-08T14:49:00.000-05:002008-02-08T14:49:00.000-05:00What an amazing show it was last..I thought my hea...What an amazing show it was last..I thought my head was going to explode with all the new info and characters.<BR/>Random thought here...<BR/>Dr Marvin Candle and Miles being connected somehow.<BR/>Here are two screenshots to compare..I'm not saying they are the same person, but I do think they are connected, father/son maybe??<BR/>http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage-737-199.html<BR/>http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage-1368-354.html<BR/>Am I crazy?? What do you think?<BR/><BR/>Also - I agree with Carly, Abbadon was quite sure that there are no survivors...kinda like he helped stage the plane being on the ocean floor and that's what really happened to 815, so don't ask questions. <BR/><BR/>And no news show would ever broadcast a dead, bloated body like that.<BR/><BR/>I have other issues surrounding the newscast of the plane crash, but I'm gonna suck it up as it's just a show.Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429488340252651365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-32115880081396109622008-02-08T13:15:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:15:00.000-05:00Great recap Jay.

Locke asking about the smoke monster was so cool and shocking! hehe. I thought this episode was great but still so many questions!! Grrrrr.

As if he didn't want anyone to even suggest they may still be alive. Too forced. As if he knew those bodies in the water were not really those on the flight, but didn't want anyone else to even feed off that idea, you know? I think he knows they aren't dead. To me it was confirmed when the pilot could tell that the body in the water was not his friend. That debunks any theory about those bodies being the real survivors as well as the ones on the island. Somebody made it look like an accident, so people would stop looking for them and hence the island. I think Abaddon's interest in the island is more then what he has lead the 4 and Naomi to believe, more then just what Dharma was doing, something sinister!<BR/>Also, everyone except the pilot looks too young to have been part of the initial Dharma initiative. I agree with memphish that Charlotte knows something more about Dharma and I am sure we will find out how. <BR/>Good ending. Ben has been off the island and why do they want him so bad?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939593555643148973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-63868256158857423702008-02-08T12:31:00.000-05:002008-02-08T12:31:00.000-05:00Another excellent installment Jay...I'm so glad th...Another excellent installment Jay...I'm so glad that the show is heading into the more "fate less coinncidence" route too, without it it'll be to confusing. <BR/><BR/>It's gonna be a VERY interesting episode when we get Miles The Ghostbuster and Jacob together...and the whispers!!

It's funny how surprised we are when the characters ask the obvious questions we've been dying to know.

This may or may not matter.<BR/>Charlotte also seemed genuinely suprised to find survivors.<BR/>They've promised another Oceanic 6 member next week- do you think they will deliver?<BR/>I realized as I rewatched last week's episode that the last person to ask for help was Jacob. Could he be part of the "They" Charlie talks about, or have other Losties become prisoners like Jacob?<BR/>And I know you had to about choke when Locke simply point blank asked what the monster was!Missiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951110098375762357noreply@blogger.com
