Those freakin' numbers! Danielle got a good look at the hatch - did she see the numbers? Did Hurley? If they did, would they be more or less likely to want to hide there? And what did Hurley write in his note? I paused and zoomed, and I see that Hurley wrote the following: Dear Mom,
I assume you are still alive since me and my jinx aren't there to kill you. Me and my jinx got dozens of people killed when our plane crashed. I got the rest of us marooned on one scary-ass island. That's where I am now. By "now", I mean when I'm writing this.
There's all kinda weird dudes and dudettes on this island. There's a doctor with tatoos like a biker, and an escaped con with a face like an angel, and a goofy looking little kid who beats me at backgammon. But I'm getting along.
Well, ma, I hope they've declared me dead by now, and you didn't cry too much, and you are happily spending my money.
Love, Hugo
PS>There is a gun-toting crazy French lady, and a man-eating polar bear also. I guess you were right that I shoulda packed the rosary beads.

Oh, can I say I hate Azrhyhh whatever his name is for his "never tell a secret to a fat guy" crack? I hope the island eats him. Grr. I'd be totally happy if the island ate him, starting with his bottom. #rofl1#! "Leslie's a bitchin' name", hee!

And now we have Jackstory... Little does she know that she's gonna be an evil Zombie Warrior. okay....How did I miss those Evil Zombie Warriors? And, later on, someone else talked about Evil Zombie Demon Warriors..... Guys: What did I miss? I only left the room to grab a box of tissues, 'cause I knew this was gonna be a tear-jerker..... Exodus can mean a lot of things - emancipation from slavery, vast migration, fear, plagues. Even though we associate an exodus with leaving a place, it was preceeded by 10 plagues, including the death of the first-born male. I'm not too trusting that "Exodus" is a word that's value-free. There was all that wandering in the desert --- which reminds me: how much food/water did they pack on the raft? Or maybe the survivors on the island are the wanderers... And the fear folks who are part of an exodus must experience -- the loss of home and the fear, combined with anticipation and hope, of a new life in a new place.... The need to pack light -- no extra baggage of any kind -- so it's good to see the ridding of extra baggage that our characters did. Even Kate --- leaving behind her selfish priorities to go to the Black Rock to help, rather than to further her own agenda. Hi makd! Thank you and Spring for explaining what the title - Exodus - might mean. Emancipation from slavery - leaving baggage behind, hope. All good stuff.

I loved all your comments. Great, fun thread to read. Let's see - I really loved the way everything was being referenced. There were a lot of little threads picked up and tied neatly together. Loved all the little snippets from the Shannon/Sayid/Boond (Hi Boone!) adventure at the airport (bitchy, non-crying Shannon made an appearance) to the Geisha gal comments from the snooty Americans. And a great, big smoopy awwwwwww to Sawyer for telling Jack. Wow - was that a great scene. Also - it looks like Sawyer has been working out a little to me. His abs looked trimmer than his last shirtless scene. Not that I noticed or anything. And with all that sweat - no need for any oil for the boys to play. I'm with everyone on the no one hugged Sawyer goodbye moment. I did like the way they played into the Kate/Sawyer adversial relationship and the searching looks both of them cast. Nice. Karen - where's Johnny Depp? - hee, hee, hee. Another big smoopy awwww moment between Jin and Sun. That was wonderful, nicely acted, a nice cathartic moment between the two actors. And I also enjoyed the hesitant handshake, hug that Michael and Sun had. It must be a bite to still have that handcuff on his wrist though. I wanted to see the Monster. And I for one thought he was going to eat Ardtz - otherwise known as the teacher most likely to be eaten or blown up next week. Nobody disses our Hurley. I missed the very last minute when my VCR switched over to Alias. Anything happen after Vincent swam back to shore? What were the previews? I think Jin considers the handcuff to be part of his penance. That could also be why he left on the raft, even after he and Sun made up (which, awwww... ). Also, Jin probably felt honor-bound to go - he was partly responsible for the raft, and he'd committed to the voyage.

Hi all! I'm new, so bear with me while I figure this out. So, why would you take Hurley on a long jungle hike? Did anyone find that strange being that he's just a little out of shape? I love the guy, but I would have left him on the beach to help with the raft. First of all, welcome. Always nice to read fresh voices. It isn't specified, but I would guess Hurley is along because he has repeatedly proven himself as the most trustworthy castaway...most notably (in this case) in relation to French Chick, with whom he has an established rapport. She IS sort of leading the expedition, after all. Really wondering how in the world Hurley is going to explain the reaction when he sees those numbers on the hatch. There's no doubt in my mind he'll freak, and that's going to be very unsettling to the group. Whether he wanted the role or not, Hurley's become the emotional anchor of this bunch due to his utter lack of guile. There simply is no facade to delve into, except... The one thing Hurley has kept to himself up to this point. Methinks that's about to loom large./color]
Are you talking about the numbers? Is the CFL the only one who knows about them?

Preview spoilers below: . . .. . . . .. . . . . . The previews - lots of action - rain - yelling - blowing things up. The rafters see a mysterious blip on the radar.

Oh, Vlad, but they are ALL gonna see the blood, so very very soon... And the zombies and the brain-sucking and the death and the...*gasps for breath, starts breathing into paper bag to calm down* Zombies! So is Boone a zombie too? I have zombies in my "Another One Bites the Dust" dance for my show next week. That's the thing about zombies - let one show up and the next thing you know they're everywhere, like roaches. Okay Matthew? Breathing? I still can't get a read on Danielle. Crazy - okay yes. But the Others stole my baby plotline still has me wandering what she isn't telling us. That look she exchanged with Claire had me thinking she wants the baby! Got to be a reason they haven't named it yet.

Zombies? And the clues are right there. - A ship called "The Black Rock."
- Little rocks get in oyster shells and the oysters slime them into.... pearls.
- "The Black Pearl" was another ship captained by none other than Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Cap'n Jack was played by none other than Johnny Depp.
- Johnny Depp also played hack film maker Edd Wood.
- Edd Wood's most infamous film is "Plan 9 from Outer Space" about aliens, zombies, and vamps, oh my!
- Danielle is played by Mira Furlan, also know for playing an alien.
Ergo, the Others are flesh-eating aliens who might suck a little blood, too. "Why's the rum gone?" #applaud#

Hi sydneyb7! Welcome to the S'cubies! Like Vlad said, I think that he went along because he wanted to, just like Kate did. He certainly hasn't been a burden on other treks - he's kinda "spry" for a big guy. ;D I do wonder how he's getting along without his music. I just want to add to the sydneyb7 welcomage. This is my third day, and let me tell you it's a great place thus far. We love having you! Congrats on full- fledged S'cubieness, too! 170 more until Master.

After a so-so episode last week, they really started the finale in top form.
Have not ready anything on the thread yet, but wanted to log in on one observation:
"Territoire Defense"
They keep calling it the "Dark Territory/ Dark Area". It's more ominous than that. "The Forbidden Zone" as in "Defense d' Entrer" "Entrance Prohibited".
If the guardian spirit (or monster) is protecting the island, careful where you chose to tread.

And now we have Jackstory... James What? Bolt? To my ear after filtering out the Aussie accent it sounded like "James Ford", may be wrong. Any other guesses?

I got chills when I saw the black smoke. So, they're going to blow a hole in the hatch, and that's going to keep the "Others" out how? And the loud noise is going to attract The Others. And what, pray tell, if The Others are inside the hatch? Well, see now this is what I've been wondering! They're all talking about how maybe there is another enterance and more room underground and I'm thinking. Oh, you mean the underground city of the zombie others that are coming to eat your brains?!!! Yeah, let's all go down there! ;D

Are you talking about the numbers? Is the CFL the only one who knows about them? I'm pretty sure she is the only one he's told about them. Well, that we've seen on air. But still . . . Which doesn't really fit with his "I can't remember who knows what" comment from last week. Wait - yes it does. He didn't say "we should stop keepign secrets" he said he was having trouble keeping track of them. And he would have no trouble keeping track of his own secrets. Which begs the question, what other secrets might Hurley have? ;D
