It does have some interesting links but also welcomes folks to advertise on this Canadian-registered site. Bravo to those who are remembering Danielle and her possible involvement with "the Others," and the abduction of Claire. When she approached Claire on the beach (and ultimately takes her baby), Claire sees the scratches on Danielle's arm and asks, "When did I scratch you?" How soon we forgot, eh Sayid?

Also, when michael was communicating with walt on the computer screen, he was interupted by jack who walked around and saw nothing on the screen. i think this is important cause the show is trying to tell you that the island makes you see things. that is what michael wanted to see on the computer. he told locke that he was just going to take a look at the computer and all of a sudden walt pops up. the island made michael see that. has everyone forgotten what happened to Boone. he had a vision of his sister dying that in turn helped him get over the fact that he has to protect her or something. locke did that to him. locke the only person who was positivly affected in a physical way by the crash. (wheelchair). locke told boone that he saw into the eye of the island. is that what mr. eko saw in the black smoke. who now after he saw the smoke knows he wants to become a priest on the island. whom i think is going to build a church where charlie started the fire or whatever. anyways, locke is the key to this show. the island made him see those hieroglyphics, cause that is what he wanted to see. The fact that locke can walk now is key to this story. Also why was the pilot of the plane snatched up by a monster. is that what jack kate and charlie expected to see in the first season. so the island created the illusion. Locke said he was destined to do the walkabout. so this whole story is about him. he is in just about every little story within this show.

I wonder if Dharma will also send a fresh batch of whatever Desmond was injecting into his arm. What was that stuff anyway? Could it be a treatment or inoculation for the "disease" that Rousseau and Henry Gale spoke of? BTW: There’s a thread on the Fuselage where speculations are being made that the “disease” is actually “Bird Flu.” I read on one of the Lost sites (I believe it was the Fuselage) that Dharma is going to do a Food Drop to our Lostees in an upcoming episode.

First the island is alive, meaning it encloses an entity created by the Dharma initiative. This is the incident that they refer to in the orientation film. The part of the hatch that they can't get into encloses this being inside with the electromagnetics and the entering of the code every 108 minutes keeps this being contained. As a side note the entity might be named Aaron. I have seen the symbols in the last episode translated as "to cause to die" but there is a symbol missing. Maybe that symbol was a child, a baby, Claires baby Aaron. When the counter reached zero the noises heard were the locks on this entity starting to be released and if it was it would take over the baby Aaron because it seeks a new body. In the first season Walt tells Locke not to open the hatch because it is bad, this is what was bad about it. It has been suggested that there are two groups of others, the ones led by Zeke kidnapped Walt because with his apparent psychic abilities he could stop the entity and those others serve the entity. Which is why the survivors are on the island in the first place. Aaron (the entity) summoned them because he has some kind of influence. I think that he has the power to reach out and influence events outside the island. He got this from the Dharma initiative. I only have a guess as to how. In the orientation movie the man says that the island is used to study many fields of science. One of these is parapsychology which is an obscure branch of science that relates to the human mind having the potential to cause physical effects. Somehow these tests succeeded and this once again was the incident. This created the entity which I am only guessing is named Aaron. Thats pretty much it.

If there is a hot air balloon picture in the hatch, and Henry Gale is Alvar Hanso, would he really pick a cover story that has such a risk of being blown? After all, he would know what they would find in the hatch. He would know about the orientation film. He has to assume that all the survivors know all about the Hanso foundation and the Dharma initiative. I was just thinking.

I loved and dearly miss the podcast. Hope all is well on the Island for you both. :o) Regarding the hot air balloon picture someone mentioned: didn't Desmond get to the island via balloon? I seem to remember that he was trying to travel around the world in a balloon, so perhaps that is what the picture is from? Speaking of Desmond, what WAS that stuff he was injecting in himself. And, what happened to him anyway? He ran off like a batouttahell, but where did he go? I never really figured that part out. I've also turned to LostCasts for my Lost podcast fix. What I really miss, and maybe someone can clue one of the other podcasters in on, is the 'chapters' that the Transmission had. If another podcast had that, it would be great. Thanks for the blog. Until next time. Sherida Hey Ryan and Jen,

The catalyst for me was the last part of what was stated in the film but cut off... "social...." Some sort of societal experiment. Looking at the hatch that the fusies found, with a sealed upper hatch, and a second hatch _with an airlock_, we might assume that they were sealed in order to preserve the integrity of the social experiment, which was taking place on the entire island itself. In any case the experiment either went terribly wrong, or is still going on.. just with new adult-only test subjects. Renate:

I just found this awesome site today after it was mentioned on HawaiiUp [it was my 1st time listening] and I must say that I have been blown away, way to go Ryan and Jen and thanks for both HawaiiUp and this great site. I have been crazy about Lost since day 1 but I never really liked going to these "theorist" sites cos they were so full of BS! But these comments are really intelligent and plausible especially Renate's excellent theory. I too began to question why Ethan and Goodwin (and now Henry) looked way more different then "Zeke's" group. Anyways I just wanted to ask this question. Why is it that people are saying that the console hit 0 and something was released. Didn't John punch in the numbers before the "secondary" counter finished thereby preventing a 2nd incident? I mean the last symbol didn't get a chance to lock into place so doesn't that mean that technically nothing bad happened and that the only reason for resenting this new countdown was to discredit Jack's opinion that the console was a hoax and verify John's belief that an incident would occur if the sequence wasn't completed. Perhaps the countdown will occur again in the finale and this time it won't be stopped. Only time will tell. Ok guys bye for now. Hello guys.

There is no real need or necessity to introduce a new character at this stage, seeing as how regulars aren't even getting a look-in (i.e. Mr Eko), so obviously he's there to answer a few questions, but knowing Lost he probably get a bang to the head and loose his memory :-) Ryan & Jen still really miss your Podcast, hasn't sunk in yet, still trying to update it :-) But the best of luck to the two of you in the future.

Also the airduct in the ceiling is bolted from the inside (by Locke) and can now be opened with the pliers by Henry!! And didn't anybody notice the picture of a hot air balloon hanging on the wall in the hatch :-) Hi All,

We haven't heard about it in awhile - since Danielle described it last season, maybe? but now "Henry Gale" is talking about it. Is there really a sickness that is about to strike our lostaways? From Danielle and Henry's tales, it starts to show effects after three months or 90 days. We're at day fifty-something or sixty, right? Remember that Desmond was shooting something up. Was that something to stop him from getting the sickness? Does the sickness have something to do with the hallucinations that Charlie, and to a lesser extent Kate and others have been having? I ask all this because, if Henry is an Other, why did he make up a story about a wife that died from the sickness? Is he trying to warn them about it? Why? Or is there really no sickness, but as some of you have suggested, Danielle is in cahoots with Henry (and maybe others) to make the lostaways think there is? Again, why? As for the DeGroots from the film and Zeke/the blond woman on the raft being the same couple, I think this has been debated and debated into oblivion by now, but I was pretty sure it had been widely debunked. I don't think it has been categorically denied by any of the show's creators on the Fuselage or official podcast, but I think most theorists don't think it's true. Thanks, Ryan & Jen for still being around! Good to know you'll keep us posted on location filming tidbits, too. You should call into one of the other podcasts sometime (I've turned to "LostCasts" - those guys are pretty damn good) so we can hear your voices again!

I think we'll have to wait until at least the end of the season to find out, unfortunately. But we all know this show is not for those who need instant gratification, is it? I think it's great that so many people think nothing happened though. There will now be a debate over whether anything mysterious that happens from now on is because the timer hit zero. And, unless I missed something, Jack and Sayid were too busy with Henry to notice, which means Locke might not tell them! So we might attribute mysterious events to the timer but the Losties (except Locke) might not. I agree that something happened when the counter hit zero - we just don’t know what!

I was most interested in the very final scene between Sayid and Charley. Remember that Charley dealt with Ethan (the Other that integrated with the group in S1) with extreme prejudice - shot him cold. Charley is certainly capable of violence (see the assault on Sun). Will it end up being Sayid and Charley as the saviours of the Lost crew from the Others? And what about the other Killers in the group - Anna Lucia, Kate, Sawyer, and Mr Eco? It may take a degree of ruthlessness and death to win. Will Jacks Idealism and Lockes strange spiritual side may put them both out of the picture dispite being natural leaders? Hmmm.

Great to see you're keeping up the blog, it's like getting a letter from a good friend. I have to agree with Tahou that the slow progress in plot development this season is starting to get pretty frustrating. Also, has anyone noticed that the commercial breaks are getting more frequent and lengthy? (Maybe that's why the episode spilled over a couple of minutes.) Just to add my vote on the Is He an Other? question: "Henry Gale" is definitely an other. Or he's just lying. He says he's been on the island for four months, and his wife died after three months.So it was only a matter of weeks since he buried her, and he can't remember the details of the burial! A pretty obvious bad lie. Take care, Ryan & Jen. Hi guys. Great to see you’re keeping up the blog, it’s like getting a letter from a good friend.

If a pathogen was going to be released into the environment (as suggested above), I wouldn't expect such a large amount of energy to be necessary. Also, I think it would be weird for Lost writers to choose to focus on any sort of biological pathogen or chemical agent, since "24" concentrates on this in their storyline. It seems strange to me that the hieroglyphs would say "your dead" but yet everyone in the hatch remains alive. I guess this suggests some sort of time dependent process being started that will kill them. But why then would the timer revert back to 108 if they are going to be killed? Maybe the strange look of satisfaction from Henry Gale after Jack pulls Sayid off him is because he heard the timer go down to zero and knows something bad has been initiated. Maybe this was his plan all along. Just a few thoughts....

Danielle is an "Other"!!! I was thinking about the next episode and how it's going to reveal what happened to Claire when she was missing for two weeks. If you guys remember, she did remember that Danielle was one of the people that abducted her b/c of the scratch on Danielle's arm. did we all forget about this fact?!?! And she was the one that lead Sayid to Henry Gale. It was probably her and Henry's job to get Sayid and crew to take Henry back to their camp....... what do you guys think? oh crap!! i just had a realization!! Danielle is an “Other”!!!

However, the internal shots of .Lost BunkerFacilities is oddly familier.

I was very frustrated that they took an hour to tell us nothing - at least the previous episodes advanced the plot in some way. My reasons for believing Henry to be an Other may not be as reasonable as yours, but I distinctly remember this character playing a bad guy in 'The Practice' and he was so good at doing so, I'm convinced the writers of Lost are going to use his talents wisely. And may I say again that I miss you guys a lot... presenters make the show and I simply don't enjoy listening to the other Lostcasts. On a week like this when the episode disappoints me, in the past I could look forward to your podcasts. Anyway, I picked up one of the Lost tie-in books at the library, so perhaps that will tide me over. Hope all is well with you guys.

I've checked all the other Lost podcasts and well, they are quite amateurish at the very best. just not the same as your podcast at all. I found this episode to be quite interesting. I find it quite interesting how the Dharma team has been working on preparing the right people to be put on their test island at just the right time. They have groomed several people in a myriad of ways to get different personalities with different "talents" on their island. I also find it very interesting as to how everyone's experiences are related to each other in a very clever way. If the islanders could only recognize this, they just might figure out what is going on. Danielle, although she does have some problems, knows what she is talking about! How else could she have survived, by herself, for so long? I have no doubt that this "Henry Gale" person is an Other. His fabricated story is exceptionally weak (come on, he couldn't think of anything better than to use the Wizard of Oz as a cover story???) and Danielle is right, he will lie for a very long time before he cracks. He will get the sympathy of others and use it in his favor to possibly gain his release. This guy, know matter how innocent he looks, is evil personified! Sayid would have done everyone a favor by killing him. Hey thanks for keeping up this website!

Is it just me or is it painfully obviously that the black "cloud" is really iron (or some other metallic) particles. It is not smoke. The iron particles are controlled by a person, using electromagnetism. Just contolled magnetism. Also: It is pretty clear to me that there are multiple things "filmed".

And the symbols on the ones we have seen so far and not the hieroglyphs. The symbol on the hatch in the previews is called a caduceus. It the symbol of the medical profession. Hence, the screen capture showing a test being performed on Claire during her abduction. All of which fits into a theory that the "Lost Lunch" group I'm in at work has been forming. My friends and I have a theory that aside from the 815 survivors (if they really are survivors), there are TWO groups of people on the island. The mysterious whispering "others" and the boat riding, child stealing "them". We came up with this a few weeks ago and found it interesting that the title for this eppy was "One of them". Which would make Henry NOT an "other". Our theory goes something like this: "Them" are the scientists from the Dharma Iniative that were working in the various stations on the island. The "Others" were test subjects. Something went terribly wrong with one of the experiments, i.e. "the incident" from the orientation film. Thus the quarantine was instituted to protect "them" and they were living underground in the hatches. The "them" group kidnapped the members of the "tailies" to protect them from the "others", especially the children. "Zeke" had commented that "Walt is fine". And the guy that Anna Lucia killed (can't remember his name) stated that "the children were in a better place". They are being protected by "them". Now, poor Danielle and her group landed on the island when the disease still viable and everyone else in her group became infected - any of them that survived are now members of the "others". Alex as taken by "them" to protect her, though I think she probably inherited a natural immunity to the disease from Danielle. No theories yet on the countdown hieroglyphs. Love the literary references, though the Owl Creek reference takes us back to the "they're not really alive" theory. Another red herring? Only time (perhaps "another time") will tell. Oh, the possibilities. FYI to Sirhc, there are 6 stations, not 5. And the symbols on the ones we have seen so far and not the hieroglyphs.

It is a real organization and, given the context of this episode, is probably not related to Dharma, etc. Just go to www.dia.mil. More generally, while I agree this episode was good, I'm starting to get ticked off at the fake-outs and lack of progress. The show is beginning to feel contrived to me. No major issues or questions were answered. If they had either confirmed that Henry was really an other, or let the clock just run out and see what happens, I would have been happy. But frankly, it's becoming too much of a chore to watch this show anymore. Anyone with a sense of drama knows that it's okay to keep stringing people along, provided you give them some satisfaction along the way. 24 is a perfect example of this -- you get some satisfaction in each episode even as more questions are introduced. With LOST, it's become all mystery and just about zero satisfaction. That wasn't the case in Season 1. And the Season 2 opener (when Desmond was introduced) was one of the single best hours of television I have ever watched, truly. But since then, well, c'mon guys, give us a little bit more. You don't have to reveal everything, but give me something I can work with between episodes. I'm getting near the point where I'm feeling I have better things to do on Wednesday nights. Another few episodes like the ones we've had so far this season, and I'm switching channels. And while you're at it, give us some more quality time with Mr. Eko -- that guy is a very talented actor and a real joy to watch. Regarding the acronym DIA, it stand for Defense Intelligence Agency. It is a real organization and, given the context of this episode, is probably not related to Dharma, etc. Just go to www.dia.mil.

More generally, while I agree this episode was good, I’m starting to get ticked off at the fake-outs and lack of progress. The show is beginning to feel contrived to me. No major issues or questions were answered. If they had either confirmed that Henry was really an other, or let the clock just run out and see what happens, I would have been happy. But frankly, it’s becoming too much of a chore to watch this show anymore. Anyone with a sense of drama knows that it’s okay to keep stringing people along, provided you give them some satisfaction along the way. 24 is a perfect example of this — you get some satisfaction in each episode even as more questions are introduced. With LOST, it’s become all mystery and just about zero satisfaction. That wasn’t the case in Season 1. And the Season 2 opener (when Desmond was introduced) was one of the single best hours of television I have ever watched, truly. But since then, well, c’mon guys, give us a little bit more. You don’t have to reveal everything, but give me something I can work with between episodes. I’m getting near the point where I’m feeling I have better things to do on Wednesday nights. Another few episodes like the ones we’ve had so far this season, and I’m switching channels.

And while you’re at it, give us some more quality time with Mr. Eko — that guy is a very talented actor and a real joy to watch.

This season, especially early on (Episodes 1, & 3), showed us the exact same thing from different points of view. The first half of the season simply was to slow. I think after "The Hunting Party" (e211), we are starting to pick up steam. YAY! As for these breaks that seem to happen more often than they should, I think many TV shows do this, we just do not pay attention to it as much because this one is so widely talked about. Take for instance, Lost, thus far, has taken these dates off: 10/26, 11/2,7,14,21,28, 1/4, 2/1,22, only 9 weeks total. CSI, another popular TV show on CBS, has taken these dates off: 10/27, 12/1,15,22,29, 1/12. As you can see, CSI has take 6 weeks off, only three less than Lost. So I do not see anything to complain about when it comes to the off time, as it really is not all that much more than other popular shows. Just my two cents...

Henry is most definately an other. But I'm wondering... are there two sets of "others", both trying to aquire children? The bearded man told Jack that they were alive because they "let" them live. He also established a truce for the time being. When Jack mentions Ethan, if i remember correctly the bearded man says something like Jack doesnt have any idea what is going on. Which might mean that Ethan was not part of their group/ It would mean that maybe Walt IS safe. After reading what WillF posted I’m convinced of what I already suspected.
