OK- so some crazy survivalist, from the Cuban Missle Crisis times, is holed out on the island in a bunker?

I have a very so-so reaction to this premiere. It was OK. Not exactly filled with a "can't wait for next week!" feeling.
Crazy French Lady, now Crazy . . . what?. . . English? Australian? I didn't pay a lot of attention to the accent . . guy.
There are so many characters to keep track of, already. I know we lost Boone, but we gotta gain this guy? And he seems unrelated to the "others" who kidnapped Walt, but who knows. And I am perilously close to adding "who cares?"

How long would Jack have lasted as a doctor if he was as unprofessional with all patients as he was with Sarah?
I wonder if Sarah lost her mobility after she married Jack, and their marriage fell apart?
Serious weirdness at the end of the episode.
And is poor little Walt dead, since Shannon saw him?

He gives Jack a miracle (in fact, Sarah has the same miracle as Locke); then later arranges for him to wind up on the island to somehow repay the miracle? Have the others got interactions with Desmond in the past? How long ago was the marriage to Sarah? Desmond was off the island then. Isn't the a computer? Not from the sixties. Was that Walt or just Walt projecting an image of himself -- a "vision" to Shannon. Shouldn't they have been following Vincent? Agree with Spring----more and more and more and more lose characters and plot points being introduced with little resolution on any front. And seriously slow development in the mid-section of the story. Of course, I complained of BSG feeling similarly recently (too many plot threads at once; all depressing; and no real movement on any of them----and suddenly last week lots of action on many fronts much of it positive.

I wasn't serious about him being from the 60's - the music and the LPs gave the place a dated look, but I wasn't paying any close attention to it. I just don't much care at this point. I'll watch for a few more weeks, but honestly, I can't hang in there with this show if it keeps going this way. I want to watch it so I can do reviews as needed; I want to watch it for the S3's sake, but I won't be useful if my interest isn't genuine anyhow, I suppose. I'll give it another few weeks. I don't have the VM/Lost problems since VM is on at midnight here.

He gives Jack a miracle (in fact, Sarah has the same miracle as Locke); then later arranges for him to wind up on the island to somehow repay the miracle? Have the others got interactions with Desmond in the past? Hmm--very interesting observation about the parallel between the two. I wonder if Jack would make the connection if he knew about Locke, and how he would feel about it if he did. Greg places the computer in the late 70s, early 80s--which does jive with the presence of a turntable. However, if we presume Matthew Fox and Julie Bowen's characters are close to their actual ages, then what we see of their first meeting has to take place in the late 80s-early 90s--Fox was born in 1966, Bowen in 1970. I'm not buying Sarah as much younger than 19 or 20, and if Jack has recently become a doctor then he has to be at least in his mid 20s. So we could infer that the quarantine room was there before Desmond arrived on the island, and he was somehow compelled--or forced--to lock himself in. They were following Vincent--who essentially led Shannon to the place where she had her vision. And who's to say it wasn't the island itself that created the image of Walt to let Shannon know something was going on? Although since we know there was something uncanny about Walt even before he was stranded, I'm more than willing to believe he was behind the projection as well. I'm still in the "it doesn't bother me" camp, myself. I like learning more about the castaways and trying to figure out how the past events we're seeing tie in with what they're experiencing now. Because of that, I'm willing to give them some more time. I really liked Shannon's determination to find Vincent--the woman we first met probably wouldn't have agreed to keep the dog, much less care about finding him again. The old Shannon, I suspect, would have shrugged and figured "oh well--tough luck kid." I may have more thoughts in the morning, but for now I'm thinking bed is an excellent plan.

So all this time, hatch-guy has been keeping in shape for the right girl, perhaps? Perhaps. Although if that was a steroid he injected, and if he's been taking them all this time, then his testicles are probably the size of pistachios. There's a reason they are called nuts. Vlad

So, the title:
I'm thinking both phrases apply to Jack? (Not one to Jack, the other to Locke.)

Hi, Everyone
Sitting here in "gah, grrr argh" after tonight's Lost. So much, so little.... and Desmond??
I will, like Spring, follow for awhile, but if they keep throwing stuff out haphazardly, I may have to vote myself off the island.
ASAP Desmond said, I'll you in another life, I knew we'd see him again; just didn't know it'd be THERE.
And dudes: 10-15 years of steroids? He'd have to look like Jim Carrey on In Living Color's spoof of 'roid rage.
Still: waiting to see what happens next week, and wondering what I missed on VM, since I forgot to set the tape!

And now you all get the benefit of my obsessive note-taking.
Previouslies… NUMBERS!!!!!! Hurley has the right idea. Beep? Beep? Beep?
Who is this? That could be contemporary, that’s about a thousand dollar turntable.. But the music and the computer terminal argue for older.
Smoothies are new, though.
Steroid shooting.. boom? oh shit it’s in the vault!!!!!!!! In the bunker!!!!! THAT’s why Rom was so damned strong., he was one of Walsh’s commandos!!!!!
They got some issues in going down that hole, with that kind of firepower waiting for them…

Number recitation… “Yeah, I just gotta pee” I wonder if he still needs to. I wouldn’t.
Jack actually starting to be a leader. What was Kate looking at when she said “Jack?” in the “There’s a monster over your shoulder” tone of voice?
And Jackstory…
It’s the chickie he was marrying…
Decision time? Draining the pericardium. Well, yes, decision time. He chose whatserhead over the other guy. Why so? Because she was the damsel in distress?
“missing a bloody wingnut”
What is Sayid saying Charlie is not saying?
Hi, Shannon!!
And Sayid is her faithful puppy…
“Maybe because I was running towards you, waving my arms, yelling “don’t do that?””
“Oh, and to save everyone’s lives.
Hatch door? What about it? Oh crap.
QUARANTINE?! NO ONE wants to see that. But.. it was on the INside of the hatch.. does that mean that the island itself, the surface, is in quarantine from the cave-dwelling steroid junkie moorlocks?
Shannon, rescuing the dog is not gonna bring Boone back.
I got a bad feeling about this… Oh crap, don’t go into the scary woods all by yourselves…
Thunk? What thunked her?
Whispering in the woods..
WetWalt…
I wonder if it is really him.. well, he evaporated, so I guess not…
I’d vote for Geena Davis…

Oh don’t quibble about adverbs, Locke…
“look at the bright side”?
Well, you DID lose it… but you DID get hauled into the ground by a column of black smoke..
“Joke, dude”
“Really? Like usually you’re Mr. Haha. “
“and occasionally somebody blows up all over you, but you get to sleep in in the morning..”
Well, Hurley’s telling the numbers story.
Hurley’s lost weight.
“Well, actually, meteorite” Locke would be pleased..
“You were in a psych ward?”
“Yours sucks, dude”
He’s not wrong..
Hey, it’s steeringwheel chickie!!
Ruptured spleen? Gonna do a splenectomy?
Daddy Shepard..
Wow, when Dad tells him that he’s got a lousy bedside manner, it’s pretty obvious.
He’s right: hope is as vital to healing as anything else..
Strange things are afoot at the rape caves…
Let’s hear what you have to say, Jack, and if it involves giving them hope… Yes, just a little.. Wow, he’s learned his lessons some.
Arzt “didn’t make it” is kind of an understatement.
He’s actually becoming an effective leader, making promises like that.
Locke is tired of doing the “smart thing”Following the gut.

“Kind of unlike you, the whole “glass half full, thing” “There’s a glass?” Kate wants you, Jack. But she’s leaving to go die with Locke. “Live together, die alone” Where is that from? Huh, she had another fiancée. At the time.. He’s gonna run away. Oh, for christ’s sake…. She’s better off without him. This is a case where his blunt bedside manner is useful. Little secret? She’s going to bite his face.. No, she’s excusing him. That must be what drives him on. “I’m gonna fix you” Shepard doesn’t usually make promises like that. I wonder if this is the “1,2,3.4,5” surgery he mentions in the first episode.. Oh, how sweet, he was waiting for her! Yes, he wants you to go down first. That way you die. “Yeah, well, that too” On the “see if I get eaten” “stop” Are those jungle lianas they are using? That’s a silly thing to use for rope.. No, it was the pinion.-point that gives.. oh, it’s the wire from the plane? .. DANG, woman screams like Willow. “Well, okay, then.. And she’s doing the counting thing.. “John, I think there;s something down…..” Light switches on with a bang? Switches off with a bang? And evaporates Kate without a sound. OWIE on the hand.. yeech!!
