Not!Henry on the boat - and he seems like a leader type guy to me. Charlie is alive. What about Eko? Desmond finds the note just when he needs it, as she intended. Ah. The other side of the "sign". So, Locke was "sign" for him!! Cool. Desmond sacrifices himself for everyone else. Huh. Freaky. That's a bunch of electromagnatism being released? Weird. Henry is a lot like Locke. Even has the scars on his face. He thinks they're the good guys. He might not have told Michael to kill Ana Lucia. I think Michael thought that was the only way he was going to be able to free Henry and get to Walt. Michael made that decision all by himself. I hope we see more of his backstory so that we can see why he went that far, because what we've seen of Michael so far just doesn't fit with that decision. Ok - so are they being tested to the point where they break from their MO and make the 'right' decision. When they do get to that point, they ascend/die/wake up? *just talking out of my behind at this point* Mostly I'm all - Lost bad/Hawaii pretty.

Let's see: a compass bearing of 325 is 35 degrees west of North: approx North North-West. Save that compasses seem as if they are kinda useless if there's a strong magnetic source nearby: unless that little boat is equipped with a gyrocompass that has never been allowed to power down. I think they are doomed. They are so doomed.

Just keep hanging on to that . . . And Eko whipping off Charlie's belt.

Seriously bummed about Murderous Mike getting to sail away with Walt, ostensibly to be rescued.
The Others went to a lot of trouble to get their hands on Walt; and they just spring him for four adults; one of whom they could have taken in the boat (Sawyer) when they grabbed Walt? It makes no sense, particularly since Michael, if he is rescued, is going to be seriously questioned as to what happened to the plane and how did he come to be tootlin' along in the old boat? And Michael is, in my opinion, in no condition to raise Walt, nor should he be allowed to - he murdered two innocent people, when Walt was in no immediate danger.
How creepy is Faux-Henry, especially since he now seems to be Boss of the Others ...
What was the deal with the mechanical bird? I didn't hear it calling Hurley's name?
Whatever happened to the people-eater security system? Wonder if that's gone with the hatch....
If I'd been there, no way would I have allowed anyone to blow up the hatch for their stupid little crises of faith. The only place on the deserted island with electricity, showers, laundry and supplies, and they can't manage to organize a few people to push the darned button out of the 40+ batch of Losties?
I wonder if the destruction of the hatch will release some nasty toxins into the air?
And what game is Charlie playing? First he sucks up to Eko, and then is so upset when Eko gets tired of church-building that he tells Locke that Desmond has returned (which seemed to me rather calculating), thus initiating the Locke-Desmond Hatch Blowup; and then Charlie goes running back to help Mr. Eko? Huh? Will he make up his mind who's side he's on?
I will be seriously peeved if either Mr. Eko or Locke are dead.
Not quite sure why Desmond decided to end it all for Penelope's sake...But he seems to have been a loose cannon anyway.
E-M pulse brought down the plane? Are E-M pulses actual things that have been done, or just techno-babble for something that may or may not be possible...Can you tell I'm not a scientist?
Well, I'll see what happens in October. They said someone was going to get killed in this episode - did they mean Desmond, about whom we don't know much or care...
Hoping to see Sayid go into commando mode in the fall season premiere! Hoping to see Sayid kill that nasty l'il Faux-Henry!
GAIL, stymied, who, on the whole, thought the finale of House made much more sense

Four toes. Huh.
Also...BIG. Who put it there?
Charlie continues to be the Lord of the Bad Decision. And also, he's a king mixer. Such the child.
And have we not learned: secrets bad. (Ahem. Jack.)
Michael's character has pretty much been destroyed, IMO. Granted, I'm only at the one-hour or so mark here, but...that's really all he's got? "I couldn't think of another way." So I abandoned my entire moral and ethical system.

Ok, so Eko must've seen the same info as Desmond on those printouts. At least now we know WHY he suddenly became button-pushing man.
Any particular reason why Father Mumstheword wouldn't want to make such a salient point to Locke? He had...what, three or four opportunities to share? Perhaps that might've, you know...made things a tad simpler.
From a storytelling perspective, I suppose it worked; Eko's sudden attitude adjustment was a head-scratcher...and it allowed for some season-finale effects.
Sort of assassinated Eko's character in the process, though.

Jorge Garcia deserves an Emmy nomination and the win. The scene where Michael admits to his crimes is extraordinary. All the actors were terrific, but Jorge Garcia carries it, because he conveys so much with so little. Hurley continues to display show astonishing powers of emotional perception. Even as Michael weakly attempts to justify his actions regarding Libby as a moment of blind panic, Hurley cuts right to the core of things...all with a deadly calm voice. We know Hurley is capable of exploding dangerously when provoked...which makes his absolute stillness all the more powerful.

Seriously bummed about Murderous Mike getting to sail away with Walt, ostensibly to be rescued. It all seems a bit too easy, doesn't it? It makes me wonder if they already got all they needed from Walt. That basically he was now just extra weight and well worth the trading. And that maybe the whole complicated "coerce Michael" thing was another behavioral experiment. **nods nods nods** Yeah. The Losties are woefully inept at organization and communication and what not. Well and now after the Big Hatch Bang, he also seems even loopier than before. [/color][/quote] #rofl1# I am pinning big big hopes on my sweet baboo Sayid!

Words cannot express how bummed I was at not being able to watch this with everyone last night. Especially because I had actual interesting information to contribute: Penelope? Was also the name of Odysseus's wife. You know, the one who waited for him (in her case for twenty years) as he made his way home across the seas, remaining faithful to him despite enormous pressure to remarry (in fact, she showed herself almost as smart and resourceful as her famous husband by insisting that she could not marry anyone until she'd finished weaving a burial shroud for her father-in-law; she'd work on the shroud by day, only to unravel all her work each evening). Not at all meaningful in terms of last night's story, huh?

Especially because as Walt and Mike were motoring away all I could think (besides "you mean he's getting what he wants despite everything he did?!") was "what about VINCENT?"

Wet shirtless Sayid. That's what this show needs more of. ;D Sara, good catch on the Penelope/Odysseus connection. I was thinking - Desmond can't be dead, he hasn't read his last Dickens yet. Also, Penelope and her Russians (Matthew, was that Russian?) are apparently outside the influence of the island, so there is still an outside world. I'm guessing she hired them to look for big electro-magnetic pulses? Also, I haven't been paying attention, but could her dad be a Hanso executive? Anyone notice these things? Jorge Garcia-Hurley rocks. He does so much with such subtle actions - you could see in his eyes that he knew what Michael had done, before he spoke. Michael - was anyone else waiting for the boat to blow up? My guess? The Others are going to let him motor around in circles for a while, then take Walt back, hopefully possibly killing Michael in the process. That's a big foot. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock foot this big. As to the plane - Desmond may have caused the magnetic field that drew the plane to the island, but he didn't collect that group of people and put the plane in range if the field. Also, Kelvin (?) had been goading Des about not pushing the button. I think Des was set up by the people running the various experiments, who wanted that group to end up on the island. Or it could just all be coincidence. I dunno. Loved the useless pile of message tubes - some part of the system has been broken down for a while. Experiments within experiments, lab rats observing other rats...
