I think the light show was a map of the locations of the other bunkers with the main building being the one in the middle with the rest of the bunkers somewhere along the coast of the island. I cant wait to see it on the net so I can get a better look at it. And how did a supply drop happen by parachute if no plane was heard overhead? Its not like the drop was that far from camp! hmmm? That has me confused. and as far as next weeks preview. If they kill off Hurley, I may boycot the show! (probably not but damn I will be really really pissed off!!) They better not mess with Hurley! Link to screencap of the map on the hatch doors: community.livejournal.com/lost_tv/1258431.html?style=mine#cutid1Also - Nadia! Was that Sayid's Nadia?

Something in the back of my brain was telling me that she was familiar or that something was important about her, but I wasn't able to grasp it. #duh#

Impressions: 1. Whatever Henry (or whoever he is) did when he crawled through that vent, it wasn't just what Locke told him to do. There's a plan at work here, and Locke is clearly the isolated target. Only he was to see that super-secret map. 2. As I stated way back in my review for "Everybody Hates Hugo," it was only a matter of time until this Station would receive fresh supplies. I was thinking more along the lines of a ship, rather than an air drop...but still, points for me since I actually predicted something accurately for once. 3. Since when did the shower stop working? And what's up with the pipes? Danger, Will Robinson! Geo-thermal generator accidents are nasty happenings! 4. I guess Sawyer is an equal-opportunity offender, but I really wish they would dispense with the constant "fat" jokes. Perhaps it's my own size...but I think it's more to do with Hurley's general good nature, since he makes no effort to defend himself. It's hard to watch him be abused. 5. Waaait a minute **looks around suspiciously**. Where the hell is Vincent? Don't tell me he's lying in the bushes again, ready to foreshadow evil deeds?!

Woke up in the middle of the night here, reminded of something that bugged me deeply. One of my personal all-time pet peeves involves poker as a plot device. Not because the symbolism doesn't work; high-level poker is as much about psychology and instinct as it is luck. Therefore I understood the whole Jack vs. Sawyer dynamic. All I ask is for some semblance of realism. Now, for the most part, I was fine with it. The dialogue was believable and well-written. Jack's "reads" in the observed hand with Hurley, Kate and Sawyer were quite realistic, for example. Straights and flushes come up against one another often in Texas Hold 'Em. I've seen pocket Kings beat pocket Queens a few times, also. So far, so good. Then we get to the heads-up contest: Tropical Fruit vs. The Antibiotics (which, by the way, reads like an ear-splitting battle of crappy rock bands). Just to briefly recap, we've been shown that Sawyer has been cleaning Hurley and Kate's clock so far. Even when he lost to Jack the first time, Sawyer's hand - three Queens - was really strong. Anyone would've lost in that scenario. Sawyer has even shown a reasonable ability at dealing from the bottom of the deck. In short, Sawyer is portrayed as a pretty good player. Now, in the final showdown, Sawyer raises with nothing. Stone-cold bluff. Jack, recognizing this, re-raises all in (very nice read, Doc). And then...suddenly, common sense disappears. I hate to state the obvious, but...if the other guy goes all-in, and you have nothing? You FOLD. Any idiot would. I don't care if you've played poker for 15 years or 15 minutes...it's not even a decision. It's like...breathing. The other player pushed in all his chips, and you can't possibly beat him. Hello?? Then....THEN, Sawyer acts all annoyed that Jack went all in with a pair of 9's. Ummm...Sawyer, why in the blue hell did you call it in the first damned place?! After careful analysis, I've narrowed things down to three possible answers: 1. Sawyer has somehow labotomized himself with a papaya in the last three minutes. 2. Sawyer has decided that the rational human thing would be to allow the physician to control the medicine. Therefore he allows himself to be beaten by Jack...in front of everyone, no less. 3. The writers blew it. I'd like to think it's 2, but doesn't sound like Sawyer to me. I'd have to lean toward 3. Ok, I'm done ranting. I know it had no bearing on the actual episode, so please forgive the waste of valuable bandwidth.

But - you're suggesting that Bogus-Henry knew ahead of time that he might need a cover story, so he made the pretty grave for Real Henry? Very pre-cognitive of him, unless he planned to get himself kidnapped . . . no . . . it's not impossible, but not making a lot of sense to me, that he would make a pretty grave knowing, or thinking he might, need a cover story. Only speculating, but I think dude's plan was for Rousseau to catch him, so he can cause trouble within the ranks...or something. The man clearly had an agenda. On the other hand, why would someone so ruthless and cunning be dumb enough to leave the guy's ID to be found? Nah, it doesn't wash for me either. Of course, "Lost" is going to have so many holes by the time it's over, maybe I should just resign myself and go with it. Clearly a lot of questions won't be answered any time soon...if at all.

I think the loudspeakers were saying something about the airdrop in so many minutes.
Lots of men saying look what I can do: Jack and Sawyer (with Spring's Kate's ruler), Locke trying to get out the hard way, and (though we didn't see it) Sayid digging up the grave.
Characteristic of ICE: limited communication. We have the Dharma Initiative/The Other's holding things back from the Losties, and Jack and Locke trying to hold back information from everyone else. Again I'm pleased that no one in the group seems to be able to keep a secret.

Also, the Henry Gale revelation cast doubt in my mind about the veracity of Rousseau's story and, of course, Desmond's.

"Should I go get a ruler?" LOLOLOLOL. Hee! Loved that line. Also Sawyer's reason for knowing what amoxycillon was (well, who doesn't?) - I've been to Jacksonville. (hee! Jack-sonville) [/s] Tallahassee - (my bad) Something was burning, and it wasn't from the sunshine. LOL![/quote] I heard Tallahassee.

I heard Tallahassee. So did I. Odd. It must have been a Dharma trick to confuse and demoralize our group. Good thing we're too smart for that.

OMG! Locke is down! And the alarm is about to go off. Meanwhile, Jack and Sawyer are playing footsies poker on the beach. Jack should've brought Hurley in the loop and sent him to the hatch, if he wanted a break. Really! I mean, who's watching the hatch, people! They need to have more than one person sitting in there. And why not? If they've got time to sit around playing poker, they could have time to . . . um, sit around playing poker in the hatch. Or something like that. And why aren't they building better shelters and stuff, anyway? Helping Sun with the farming? Practicing army things?

Also, false graves. But that was kind of an obvious one.
