Interesting. In Locke's vision, only one of "our" people wasn't a passenger. Hurley worked in the airport, getting people where they're going. More of a guide than a traveler. Ooh - nice catch. So that's what Hurley was doing. As I said - I missed this scene.

Where do I know that young guy hitchhiker from? Looks like he played Tom Cruise's son in War of the Worlds: Justin ChatwinAhhhh. I knew he looked familiar.

Oh. My. That airport scene was some freaky stuff. Boone is speaking for the island now? Charlie was cracking me up with his 'I'm going to stand out here in case you devolve into a monkey." LOL! Kiersten came home during the airport scene and I missed some of this. So what did all you Lost afficionados get out of that. I saw all the losties (kind of) going through security and things like that. Anyone who can describe this scene for me? Oh and is Lost on to early in the evening for Butt shots? Cause I'm thinking they should have included one for Desmond. Or it could be I have watched far too many episodes of Nip/Tuck. It now seems weird NOT to have a butt shot. ;D I missed a lot of it as well due to doggie issues (more on that on the main board in a bit), but I was taping so I figured I'd check it out when I get home tonight. And believe me--I was fervently hoping for a butt shot myself.

Ah. Hurley's on his way back from the Line in the grass. "Bear? What bear?!" "Einsteins of the bear community" Those WERE peach trees. Nice orchard. No, Eddie stay away from the AMFO bomb factory. Or the pot. Locke laughing... Okay, it's not AMFO, it's just pot. Charlie, you are a sort of pseudo-daddy.. Flamethrower!!!!!!! Woohoo! So Pot is the new black? First a roomful on Veronica Mars and now the cult his growing it? I love the polar bears too but why did they have to be so jerky/flashy when we see them. I just want to see the polar bears. And GG was ahead of the curve last year...was it last year, with the silly Sookie and Jackson story where they can't figure out how to get rid of like twelve gigantic bags of the stuff?

My theory, for what it's worth: They aren't real polar bears, they're another manifestation of the big roaring Id Monster, or something else generated by the island. The first one looked just like the artwork in Walt's comic book, and the others have been just as unreal. The "polar bears" could have been formed from the images in Walt's mind, since he has some kind of power. Or they could just be doing CGI bears on the cheap...

Yay! Getting back to Locke and Desmond and Eko. How'd he get out into the field like that? Are his legs broken again? Is this a dream sequence? OK, not a dream sequence and his legs still work. Locke lost his voice. Locke needs to speak to the island. OK. A sweat lodge? OK. Hey, he's going to Eureka! You're going to go into your magic hut, and I'm going to stand guard out here in case you devolve into a monkey. Hee. Charlie gets some of the best lines. Boone! Why? You'll speak when you have something worth saying. Bringing the family back together. The dreaded wheelchair First you have to clean up your own mess. Yep. So Eko needs to be saved. Polar bear! Bad things happen to people who hang around me. Farmer or a hunter. Where do these flashbacks fit into the timeline? Geronimo Jackson! Eddie's dad's old shirt. So who is his dad? Dad's a drunk; mom's dead. Is this after falling out with Dad and fiance leaving him? Whoa. Crater. Imploded. Oops. and Hee! Hurley's back. Yay! He made it back without incident. So this is about 2 days later? Lizzie? What she wants is a daddy. Yep, daddy issues. You're family's got too many secrets. Hey, they actually show some one making a torch! What the hell happened to his clothes? He woke up that way? That's pot right? His family leaves him yet again... due to Locke's naivete. Ed Coleman. Locke also has a need to fix things. But usually his own mistakes, not others. Desmond looks like he's wearing a hospital gown. Seems kind of convenient. Good for you Hurley. What speech? Why doesn't everybody go and try to get Jack, Kate, and Sawyer back? amenable for coercion. Yep. Why didn't the Others want Locke again? Locke's regret. You can still save them. Way to steal Hurley's thunder, Locke. So Desmond heard Locke's speech before he gave it? Wait. That's it? That was a really fast hour.

Just remembered something:
This episode, Locke couldn't speak.
Last season, Eko wouldn't speak.
More parallels between the two men. It's interesting that the island spoke to Locke through Eko, although it might just have been that Eko, being unconscious, was a handy vehicle.
Also I was relieved to see that Charlie seems to have regained his hearing. I was worried about him. I did love Charlie snarking at Locke.

Which has me sticking by my theory of Hugo as the other shamanic influence on the island; perhaps not so much at odds with Locke and Eko as I once thought, but definitely much more in the "relaxed and groovy" frame of mind than either of the Servants of the Island. He's more of a buddha than a bishop, too. It also makes me think back to How Hurley got to the island. I mean, many of the other passengers seemed to have been . . . herded toward that plane flight and therefore the island. But fate kept trying to keep Hurley off the plane and it was only his perseverance that got him there. So, maybe his brand of relaxed and groovy shaman thing will prove to be the element that changes the status quo on how the island things have been running. He's connected, through the numbers if through nothing else, but in a different way than the others?

That's what I think, too, about the time warp factor. Desmond looked completely bewildered when he showed up in the jungle naked (like an ape!). He keeps trying to leave, but he never can. Huh. A lot like the way Michael acted when he came back last season. I wonder when we'll see him and Walt again. Oh, and Vincent. He keeps popping in and out, too. Hmmm... Heee! Desmond as "The Naked Ape". ;D And the island is like a roach motel or Eagles song . . . you can check out any time you like, but you never leave. I think Vincent will appear again when his master plan for world domination says it's time to appear again. #smirk#

I think there are a couple of things that can explain this, from the commentary I listened to on the first episode, a while back. They are using a polar-bear mockup, and the flashy quick cuts and the jerkyness are to keep us from noticing so much that it's a polar bear marionette and/or cgi. Of course, if they got a real polar bear to film with since the time that they had Walt cornered in the woods by one, the jerkiness and such would be natural, with the cameramen and soundpeople and actors attempting not to get et by a par-boiled, pissed-off polar bear...

Cause I'm thinking they should have included one for Desmond. Or it could be I have watched far too many episodes of Nip/Tuck. It now seems weird NOT to have a butt shot. ;D Someone has probably already done this much better, but here goes. Basically, it was what you said - he saw most of the "main character" crash survivors as if they were all in the airport - with Desmond giving cryptic, and likely important, commentary. It started with Desmond saying that someone was in danger and Locke had to save them. Desmond said things like: "they'll be OK, for now" about Claire and Charlie; "Sayid will help" or "Sayid's on it" or something like that about Sun and Jin; "not Hurley", about, well obviously Hurley; and for Kate and Sawyer and Jack it was something like "you have to clean up your own mess first". Someone has already also noted that Hurley did not appear as a passenger, but rather as someone working for the airline or airport. And then there was blood and Mr. Eko's stick and so he knew that Mr. Eko was the one he had to save now. And I for one strongly resent the lack of butt shots when they have nekkid Desmond already on the screen. I mean, how much would it take to just pan down a bit, remove a little foliage, have him roll in some oil and . . . . Um. Yes, I too have been warped by Nip/Tuck. ;D
