Lost

[Modern Mephisto]

You're a fat dude? Why haven't we met yet?

Because I'm more of the angry, misanthropic, antisocial, heavy metal headbanger type fat guys. So, we probably don't move in the same circles.

Tell you what, you better keep an eye on Locke. He has been my favorite character since day one, but i'm tellin' you he is gathering info on the other people on the island, (the ones not on the plane), and he is going to make a move to attack them or join them before long.

Locke is one of my favorite characters, too. Mainly, I just always loved Terry O'Quinn as Peter Watts in Millennium, and with each show I keep seeing more and more of that character in Locke. I keep expecting him to say, "This is who we are." He's got that serious mystic cult vibe going for him.

He's been one of my favorite actors since the movie "The Stepfather"

I agree. He's getting close with people and not volunteering anything. He's one to watch.

He is mystical.

 

[My Own Way]

OK people....THIS IS IMPORTANT!

What was the song playing during the final few minutes of the show (the one that cut off when his walkman died)????

I must have it.

It must be mine.

Someone help a Philly out please!

I just found this thread...HUGE LOST fan...I was wondering about that song too...I'm not sure if you found it or now...but just in case you didn't it's called Delicate by Damien Rice

Hurley's story last night revealed the whole premise of the island. It serves to break each person of their bonds before the crash. Struggles insue(sp?) as some people embrace it, while others reject it (or don't want to be broken from that bond) Locke has the greatest realization of what the island presents and also received the greatest freedom from it. That is why he'll lead the "resistance" to keep people on the island. He doesn't want to go back to before. Micheal seems to be the prominent person who prefers his previous life and represents Locke's protagonist (or antagonist, depending on your perspective) as he attempts to get them off the island. Hurley is in the biggest quagmorale as he is incredibly loaded in his previous life but at the expense of a horrific curse. Most of the survivors have yet to realize the freedom granted them and are thus leaning more toward Micheal and his rescue efforts. Slowly Locke opens peoples eyes (or tries to) to the new freedom the island grants them. Eventually this will create a breaking point as their will be those unable or unwilling the appreciate their circumstance and those who embrace the new freedom. And as I stated many weeks ago, this opens up a much larger variety of options for future shows.
Locke isn't really a bad guy unless you want off the island. In which case he'll be your worst enemy.

Interesting.

My theory is that they all died in the crash & are in purgatory( that's why it is a hellish paradise) Death is the only way out, & Locke is the only one who understands.

So Locke is the ferryman on the river styx?
I agree it could work that way, but it is very predictable and sets a lot of limits on episode development.
Not being a Catholic, I only have a basic understanding of purgatory. Care to enlighten me beyond the basic 'it's a waiting place between heaven and hell where people not good/bad enough for either get to prove their worth one way or another'?

 

[DéjàNu]

I like how the were a bit all connected in their previous not island life.

Like how Sawyer knows Jack father. Or how Sawyer was in that Police station when Boone was there. Or how Hurley was on the TV screen when Jin was at that house warning the enviroment minister that his boss wasnt happy. Or how Hurley is the owner of a box company and Locke was working in a box company, I bet its the same.

Am trying to remember some other instances, am sure there is more.

Makes Sydney seem like a two light town.

that CRACKED me up when I saw it

which one is jin? I sort of remember seeing it, but can't remember whose story it was.

I was thinking that too but couldn't explain why they would have so many dead at the crash site.

the asian one

I'm not Catholic either , & can't offer you anything more definitive. ( although , I once read where somebody asked one of the creators if pergatory were the premise, & they replied "that's one theory")

I don't see it as predictable, because it's supernatural, & doesn't conform to our reality.

Generally, yes, I see it as a 2nd chance for the chartacters to prove their worth one way or another, to suffer for their past, or do enough good to make up for it. With this show, they retain the abillity to continuously complicate the past, not just the present.

I thought Jack was home free with his good deeds, until he tortured Sawyer.

Locke was in a wheelchair before the crash, right?
And now he is physically restored. I just think that gives him more insight into the unnatural state. I don't think he's out to prevent others from leaving. I think he realizes that neither escape nor rescue will occur.

Maybe the dead were in heaven or hell instead.


I have to go now.

you are looking at it wrong
the ones that died in the crash are actually the survivors

ahhhhhh now there's a twist I didn't think of.... thanks

Another connection between characters, pre-island.

Locke worked in a box factory in Canada. Hurley, we learned last night, owns a box company in Canada...

 

[HornyHenry]

Good catch about the Box factory

and showing Hurley on the TV in Korea - missed that one. Earlier, it was posted that they are all connected in some way. Now I'm looking for all the connections!
Gonna try those Lotto numbers tomorrow too.
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
By the way, where were those numbers shown, on some metal thing?
Was it the fuselage or what? I couldn't tell.
Love this show.

I believe that was the side of the mysterious metal chamber that locke and boone have been uncovering.

 

[JerseyBoy]

you know this is all an:

A. an alien experiment
B. CIA mind control experiment
C. One persons delusional nightmare...probably Lockes

did you catch the other week when Jin went into the guys house to beat him up. Did you notice that Hurley was on the TV? (oops, Deja already mentioned this)

the numbers were cool, never thought they could turn Hurleys story into the coolest one so far

i love this show

next week: repeat...ugh

 

[Lynxie]

So ... the numbers. If anyone knows anything about shortwave radios, you may have heard of a thing called Numbers Stations. Here's a link that will give you more info about them. Now, the question becomes just what do these numbers signify? If it's a code, what might it mean within the context of the show?

I was hoping this week's episode would divulge more information about why Hurley was on TV in Korea...but I'm sure it'll come out in a future episode.

He probably owns that factory that was shut down... You know... The one that Jin was supposed to give that guy a "message" from his boss about?

so do you think the metal container locke and boone found is the broadcasting station or are the broadcast numbers where someone was trying to find the lost container 16 years ago?
