Going to look in the hidden rooms in the Caduceus Station? "Pregnant off the island" so, hope that it's not Jin's.... "Within a day" strains credulity. Yeah, I was thinking that too . . . Oh, well, just chalk it up to that magical mystical Island thing. Fixes sperm and punctured lungs but also sends rampaging smoke and polar bears after you; kills pregnant women but lets you fix their conception within a day. I guess it's all just trade offs, eh? ;D I have so much big love for Hurley. ;D Yeah, I don't think anything could make me move into the creepy flickering light hospital bunker. That place totally creeps me out. Lord knows I would have been. I was expecting someone to jump out at them every second they were in there.

So, Sun's gonna go to her dad for the money to pay off Jin's mom. And then Mr. Paik is gonna have the money-grubbing hag killed. And Sun would've sold her husband's soul to the devil to save him from shame. Lose/lose situation, just like her pregnancy. **nods nods nods**

"On this island things are different. Day and a half. " hee! Let him go: you gave your word. OH! He was lifting the phone. heh. "How could you respect me if I didn't try?" And Desmond agrees with me. Good on Desmond. Good thing Charlie was gunless. It's the island of the SUPER SPERM!!!! So, if women who get pregnant on the island all die, that makes sex even more chancy. Yeah, it's a catch-22, like Sara says, but still, keep it to youSELF!!! if it was conceived off the island. Let him think it was his and early. D.O.C is the first time you had sex on the island. period. Aw!!! He is afraid she is thinking he won't be able to support her in the manner to which she is accustomed!!!! Silly sweet chivalrous son of a whore. Time check: 90 days ago crash. Island pregnancy! Woohoo! Certain DEAAAATH!! But maybe his non-sperm are elevated to normal sperm, and hence won't kill her. And she's happy enough that it's Jin's and that her infidelity didn't have long-term consequences, she could care less about the whole "prolly gonna die" thing. Hee! I was thinking the same thing. It's the super sperm that's the problem, I bet. Now you guys have me imagining the sperm with little red S's on their chests . . . And capes!

I totally believe Sun would do it, too. Oh yes she would have. In a heartbeat. 'Course, we saw her on the boat, taking out that Other.

Called it! And "Do not force me to make that a reality" AWESOME. Pack a lot of living and loving into two months. "And I'm gonna go back inside and make my secret report to Benry" And here's the nefarious behavior. Taped message. Samples of Austin's what? "I hate you" *nods* Hugo, ease off on her a bit.. She knows about flight 815.. Why is she saying it isn't possible? "They found the plane: there were no survivors" Oh, Crap. "What?" Great last line!!!!! Excellent last line. And it was the perfect person to deliver it. ;D So now I imagine folks will all be back to discussing theories from previous seasons that they are all dead and this is them dreaming or in some kind of afterlife or alternate universe, etc. etc., eh? Something tells me that's too (and I can't believe I'm saying this about theories like that) simple.

Cool Ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda makes you think of the big Purgatory rumour that was out there. ROFL I think it is more along the lines of the Dharma initiative or the others that are on the mainland set up the "finding of Oceanic flight 815." That way nobody would actually preform any search and rescue, and therefore no one would accidentally find the island and rescue the losties. **nods to all these possibilites** Also, parachute woman could be lying.

That way nobody would actually preform any search and rescue, and therefore no one would accidentally find the island and rescue the losties. Actually, that theory sounds pretty plausible to me. Mostly because we know the Others watched the plane crash and saw the pieces make landfall nearby—which means not only that those events couldn't have all happened solely in the heads of the survivors, but that whatever wreckage was found couldn't have been from the plane our survivors were on. Wait, there is a third possibility: that our Losties both were and weren't on Oceanic Flight 815. 'Cause I seem to remember that one of the curious things to be found on the Oceanic site was how occasionally the image of the plane's layout and flight number would flicker between said layout and another plane's. And now I've thought of a fourth. I was reminded today that when Hurley told Leonard he'd used the numbers to play the lottery, Leonard's response was that now Hurley had "opened the box." And while the Skinner Box is what's most often been referenced when viewers talk about what the Dharma folks were doing and all that, I'm wondering if the box Leonard was thinking belonged to someone else: Schrodinger. One of the many interpretations that have resulted from Schrodinger's thought experiment is the idea that the moment the box is opened, the universe splits into two universes: one in which the cat is alive, and one where it's dead. So what if opening the box—ie not using the numbers and button to keep the island's energy contained—caused such a split to take place, resulting in an Oceanic Flight 815 that broke up over and landed on an island and an 815 that crashed somewhere else, killing everyone on board? *sits and stares at screen* Yep, I think that last bit used up all the neurons that were still functioning in my brain. Need sleep now... **nods nods nods** AU would totally work. One universe where they died, one where they didn't. And parachute woman crossed from one to the other because of magical Island something or other.

I"ve got a theory. . ..See, I think everyone on the Island, Other or Lostie, is dead to the outside world and some can have an effect on the outside world; that's why Ben, for example, could cure the cancer that Julia's sister had. But, none of them can leave or they really will be dead. Huh. Something isn't right there. . ..Or not. ;d

That place totally creeps me out. Plus, it's probably bugged - and there are probably secret passages and everything. Although, Julia could help with defending that. I really wonder what Benry has on her. Must be something big - or else she just really, really wants off the island. I don't think it could be a reason good enough to use Sun's baby for The Others evil plans, tho. Oh, it was way creepy with those flickering lights and such. I'm still freaking out about Mikhail being alive. Can Ethan be far behind?

Yep. Sun definitely doesn't shy away from violence. Makes me rethink that whole scenario when her bf fell out of the window.

<snipped> And now portuguese again. No, she didn't say "thank you" because that's "Obrigado" <snipped> Nope. According to a couple of places I visited, what she told Mikhail was "I am not alone."

So, a couple of observations from a podcast I listen to; they were made in reference to last week's episode, but as our parachutist (listed as Naomi by the ABC press material) was also prominently featured this week they still seem worth considering: 1. Did Naomi actually jump out of the helicopter the boys saw and heard crash? Helicopters generally aren't used for long-range flying, and helicopter pilots don't normally wear the kind of gear Naomi was. 2. In fact, the podcast guys all felt her clothing and gear were more reminiscent of a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jumper, who would need oxygen because of the altitude at which they begin their descent, than a helicopter pilot—choppers don't normally go up so high as to require the people onboard to use oxygen, as the thinner air makes it much more difficult for the helicopter to remain aloft. So, perhaps the helicopter crash was staged to mask the sound of an airplane flying overhead. Or maybe it a ruse concocted to help place another mole within the Losties camp, someone who, unlike Juliet, could join them without causing even a hint of suspicion among the castaways.

I think that woman had told Hurley the truth . . . there were no survivors of Flight 815. I think that the island is some kind of spiritual way station in which the passengers' souls are being examined and judged before they move on. Like the Albert Brooks/Meryl Streep movie, "Defending Your Life". I believe there is something similar in both Egyptian mythology and West African mythology.
