Okay - I just read this on another board. The patient who died in the ER is named Rutherford. As in Shannon Rutherford? It was her father? I so - nice little moment like the seeing Hurley on TV in Jin's flashback. OOOOOHHHH!!! Interesting!!

My take, before I start reading: Trite and predictable. I knew (I hoped not, but I knew) that Desmond-in-the-stadium was going to be hatch/bomb shelter guy as soon as he said "See you in the next life". It was inevitable. On the other hand, maybe crazy hatch guy really is the show's writer - the cast shoved him down the hatch when he said he didn't know how to resolve the mystery. Another show falls victim to Chris Carter syndrome. Also, either our signal or the sound was bad, or maybe Charlie was mumbling. We had a hard time figuring out what people were saying. I'm going to read all the other comments now, and refrain from saying anything else about the episode. Huh.. I was completely pole-axed by it being Desmond: figured it out from the accent as he held the gun on Locke, before he said "brother" but it surprised me, though it did fit in with the idea I had that Desmond was a Miracle Man. And I don't know about the sound: I watch with captioning on, because I have so-so hearing, anyways.

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. I was thinking that they were steroids at first, but what if they're anti-radiation meds, or something else? Or vitamins?

Unprofessional, in that he got emotionally involved with her. It was unclear to me if he was acquainted with her previously - I didn't think he was, and it was strange to me that he was so emotional with her. Or, maybe it was the guilt from chosing to work on her when the guy in the SUV was closer to dying?That's what I thought. And after telling her he would "fix her" --which was spelled out as being against his pattern--knowing he had failed. Plus it didn't hurt that she was a hottie with a loving and forgiving personality. And funny. And the she IS fixed. And he's very young. Definitely overinvolved, but the reasons all seem to be there. I think what they chose to show in the recap was important, one of those things being his dad putting him down for trying to do something good and failing. Jack having an alcoholic dad also speaks to his lack of hope and the bedside manner that doesn't include hope, and his need to control outcomes. I guess I'm one of the only ones who didn't feel disappointed in the show. I was right there with them all the way. I want to know what happened to the Three Men in a Boat (ok, on a raft), and why the island was quarantined from those in the hatch, and about the shrine and the magnet and the computer and about the Others and why they knew about and wanted Walt. I'm psyched. Three Men in a Boat, hee, to say nothing of the Walt. No dog, though.

From Greg's reaction to my blurting out "I bet it's Desmond" I'd say he also was surprised. The sound seemed fine to us--we actually had more trouble with it during Invasion, when we'd crank up the volume during the show and crank it back down for commercials.

Eeetah. Also, joining in on the not liking his reaction to Hurley. But then there's much about Jack that isn't likable, which I see as of the good. Yeah, his reaction to Hurley disappointed me. Then again, it also didn't surprise me. Actually to be honest, altho I love Hurley to death, if I was stranded on an island with someone who thought that 'numbers' were either bad luck or somehow cursed, I would have probably (when I was younger) think he was a little goofy to believe that way. And that might color how seriously I would take anything he had to say. Which would be a bad thing on my part, because what he has to say is important, no matter his beliefs. So, I think I'm a basically a 'Jack' in rl, except he's younger, hotter and male.

Another moment I liked was the Shannon/Walt moment.
No one anywhere - as far as I can tell popping about a couple of other boards could make out what Walt was whispering.
That was creepy. All wet and drowned looking creepy. Not that I think he's dead but for me that was the creepiest and best part of the episode (beside for the random Hurley moments).
I thought Shannon did a great job last night. Her hair looked right for once and while still kind of stupid to go trotting out into the jungle alone - it made sense that she would feel a strong motivation to find Vincent.
Vincent - I always get the impression that Vincent is like that dog in Dean Koontz's novel Watchers who is all superintelligent and understand everything going on.
I have to say - I think not showing what happened to the raft guys was a very deliberate string to pull to keep viewers coming back next week. I don't blame them but kind of classic J.J. to my mind. Have a cliffhanger finale and don't address it a smidge in the premier.

Yeah, I had an inkling it was him, too. Especially since they both seemed to be fitness-crazed. #rofl1# Didn't notice the sound being bad, but I always watch with the closed-caption on.
