Impossible that they'd put a device like that in and not have to stitch him up.<BR/><BR/>2. I think Locke's playing a big part in all of this. Why didn't Benry kill him off when they were alone, and make his escape? Locke's definitely got something to do with everything that's going on with the Others. <BR/><BR/>3. I think they definitely made Jack "hear" Sawyer screaming. I think it's all part of their scare tactics. They intentionally turned it on so he'd hear that Sawyer was alive and being tortured, so he'd be afraid.

As I remember it, they didnnt appear to be in the same scene.<BR/>It may well be Ben who is sick, but everything about the set-up seemed shady to me. I dont think it was an accident that the x-rays were in easy view (with the backlight) on as Jack arrived, and then left on until after Juliet came to collect him from the OR.<BR/>So perhaps they are Locke's x-rays, perhaps someone else's. One thing I enjoyed this week, was seeing Jack in an OR again. Beyond his medical oath I think he was just excited to be doing surgery again because it is so much a part of his identity.<BR/>At any rate, quick cuts in previews are often deceiving. The x-ray could be Eko's too. I think the next two eps are Eko, then Kate. So if anything drastic is going to happen to Eko, it would probably be in an episode in which he is featured in flashback. Actually, since the ep is called "The Cost of Living" i'm sudddenly getting nervous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161888548492125272006-10-26T14:49:00.000-04:002006-10-26T14:49:00.000-04:00I thought the main storyline in this episode was s...I thought the main storyline in this episode was somewhat predictable (the fake pacemaker in Sawyer's chest.) The reason for this was a subtle revelation that "all of the com devices were out." I definitely believe the 'hatch discharge' was some kind of a giant EMP pulse being released. It knocked out all the electronics on the island; and maybe in some places of the outside world? Also, the crash cart Jack needed to save Colleen was 'broken' (or disabled.) Another very interesting part of this episode was when Jack heard Sawyer through the 'broken' intercom. This made me think back to episode 3.01 and wonder if Jack really heard his father, or a recording of his father, or if he was just hallucinating. Finally, what the heck was the thing on the screen in the preview for next week, an alien?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161874330540729952006-10-26T10:52:00.000-04:002006-10-26T10:52:00.000-04:00great summary, just two things i disagree with a b...great summary, just two things i disagree with a bit:<BR/>1) sawyer had no reason to doubt that they did implant a pacemaker in him, and i think he believed it without a doubt until he was told otherwise.<BR/><BR/>2) sawyer said in the ep that he'd been in prison for 9 months, not two years.<BR/><BR/>definitely some interesting revelations here, and good character development. 6 days and counting till the next one...leorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498938749074364613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161873962453506342006-10-26T10:46:00.000-04:002006-10-26T10:46:00.000-04:00also...remember when they said, "the sub's back"? ...also...remember when they said, "the sub's back"? now we know how they sneak up by water. tricky, tricky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161870752225850082006-10-26T09:52:00.000-04:002006-10-26T09:52:00.000-04:00I hate when something is that obvious and I totall...I hate when something is that obvious and I totally miss it. Duh. Thanks, Blondie, you're totally right. I wasn't putting together Des's comment at the beginning with what he later did. I loved the look on Charlie's face (and I agree, Crissy, friggin' let her have a life, for god's sakes). <BR/><BR/>The theory you heard was on EW, in Doc Jensen's report, and it's an interesting one. Not only are they stealing children, but do you notice they do everything they can to push Kate and Sawyer together? They're constantly giving her new clothes like they have to keep her all purty-like for Sawyer. Benry reminded Sawyer last night that it wasn't the pacemaker that scared Sawyer, it was the possibility of them putting one in Kate. Pickett/Danny made Kate say she loved Sawyer. <BR/><BR/>And I agree; if this is the case, then Juliet's presence on the island makes total sense. I cannot wait for her flashback!Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161869692686193142006-10-26T09:34:00.000-04:002006-10-26T09:34:00.000-04:00I agree with Blondie.

Then when they wouldn't move (Charlie is seriously protective of Claire; let her talk to other people for frak's sake), Desmond had to devise another plan. <BR/><BR/>I've heard some theory about the Others being infertile, to explain why they steal children, so maybe that's why they brought (or trained?) Juliet, the fertility doctor. ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1161866277021975722006-10-26T08:37:00.000-04:002006-10-26T08:37:00.000-04:00I was a little disappointed in tonight's episode, ...I was a little disappointed in tonight's episode, but still so eager to see what others think. This is not an original thought, but I'm going to share it anyway: Desmond KNEW the lightning would hit Claire's tent, so he built a lightning rod to stop it from hitting her. But we already know that Desmond can see the future or something, so it was really for Charlie's benefit instead of ours.Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903668054657873042noreply@blogger.com
