how to pick up women the right way…

http://lostlinks.net/whispers.htm

I hope that Locke and Jack will temporarily bury the hatchet, realizing it is obvious (other or not) that Henry is plotting the two and others against each other.

Ryan, any insight you can provide into next week’s episode :)

As for Sun getting artificially inseminated in her doctor’s office… why would she do that? She was in the middle of an elaborate plan to run away from her husband in America. Would she really want to be pregnant when she did that? I think she was totally honest when she said she was glad not to be pregnant or have the chance of it. And I agree that she wasn’t pregant when the plane crashed.

I liked this episode, but my biggest complaint was that the two halves (Jin/Sun storyline and search for the balloon) didn’t have any connection to each other whatsoever. They could have used anyone’s flashbacks as a backdrop to the Henry Gale bit. The “featured” characters, Sun and Jin, aren’t even involved in the other storyline - or even aware of it. At least in other episodes, it’s the person in the flashback who drives most of the episode’s plot (Claire looking for the medical hatch, Sawyer pulling a con for the guns, Charlie obsessing over Aaron, etc.) It felt very patched together for me.

I laughed sooo hard. Perfection.

It is a pity that they had to bare a weak side. But remember - he was /very/ vulnerable and weak back in the ‘real world’ and had all kinds of nuanced flaws.

Enjoy your weekend

It appears that the song featrured with the Grronimo jackson scene in Lost is news to the band as well

As far as the Island not really being an island is a good comment, since there’s never been a complete trek made by the Losties around the beaches of the Island(?) I’m starting to think that the Island is a sound stage for a Hanso-produced television show for the “Others’” entertainment … sort of like “the Truman Show” in which the whole world watched Jim Carrey’s daily life from birth to adulthood.

Another possibility is that the Others are actually aliens and they’ve created the illusion of an earth-like environment (like the illusion that Jody Foster’s character had seen in the Movie, “Contact.”). This could be seen two ways:

(1) the Others are studying mankind though their captives on the “Island” for the purpose of seeing if earthlings are civilized enough to become active members of the Intergalactic Federation of planets, or

(2) the illusion of being on Earth was created for the Losties to keep them from realizing that they are actually being held captive in some sort of extraterrestrial zoo (ode to the Twilight Zone).

Back to the episode: where is the Hanso cereal coming from? … wasn’t all of the pantry’s food (from the Hatch) distributed to most of the Losties by Hugo when Hugo realized that there wasn’t really enough food to last more than a day or so for the entire group?

I agree with Ryan, how hot did Sun look in that lingere?

I must commend the casting director on the show for having a good mix of eye candy and real actors on the show. Adewale says more with his eyes then most actors do with their entire body. If they feature him more, he is a lock for a supporting actor emmy. The guy who plays Henry Gale is phenominal also.

I hope we get to see more of Eko and Hurley.

What 5 things will be resolved next week? Any guesses?

Anyone listening to the ABC Lost Podcast?

I enjoy reading everyones comments on this board.

aloha

Sun’s character is the most honest and authentic in the camp.
I think she said the truth, she is pregnant with Jin’s child. If she was already pregnant in the plane it would’ve come up at Season 1… I mean 2 months without noticing?? she said the truth.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I started to have morning sickness 2 weeks after conception. SO… it is the whole truth… I’m convinced that they conceived after Jin returned home, and it has passed like 2 weeks? Jin fertility problem could be because he had slow sperm count in Korea (because of stress, the job he had, maybe) and now in the Island, living like his fisherman father in a natural environment, of course miracles like this can happen.

About Sun’s misterious face after hugging Jin I believe she was begining to worry about raising their child on the Island and all worries for 1st time moms have for its all new and a normal fear I clearly detected.

My larger point, though, is that having watched the show, I feel a little used. Given utterances about a ‘5-year storyline’, I find it hard to believe that we’ll get many answers until much later. These claims taken together with the recent increase in reruns and plot fluff make it seem like we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg as far as plot stalling and excruciating character study are concerned. Of course we won’t know for sure unless we watch, right? So we’ll keep watching just the same…

Right or wrong on that last point, I maintain that ‘The Whole Truth’ saw Lost’s storyline falter seriously for the first time…

Henry sure has some blistering commentary for someone who is locked up in a hatch. Is he counting on being rescued by his Other friends? I just can’t believe someone in his current position would antagonize his captors without some really big secret.

I hope the baby is Jin’s, but who knows with this show! My wife pointed out that with the slow rate that time progresses on Lost… Sun is going to be pregnant for “like 8 years!”

totally miss your podcast and your feed back guess I just have to settle for reading your reflections on last nights episode. Just want to say that I agree with Jen I don’ think that its Jin’s kid. and I think that we really need to start looking at all of the connections on the island and pre crash. I think that, thats where we will find most of our answeres. thank you for words and keep it up

Aa

Oh - and yay for episodes with shirtless hotties! But what was the story with Locke in the bathroom while Jack was showering? Weird.

And is anyone else having trouble with Henry Gale’s accent? It’s all over the place. But he definitely AIN’T from Minnesota. Or anywhere else in the midwest, for that matter.

Congrats to Ryan for your “star turn,” we’ll be watching to see you in the crowd on the next episode!

Just a really great episode of facial closeups displaying the characters’ “looks”

I love the fact that Henry mentions that he could have sent the group into a trap. As soon as they appeared in that clearing with no obvious baloon, it was the first thing in my mind. The writers are really good about addressing those subtle thoughts out front. Like, I was getting tired of hearing my wife say “Oh right … who carries a pregnancy test on a plane” … and instead got to hear Kate say it. Beautiful!

I guess they’ve been reading so much of their viewer comments that they know what kind of audience they have. Why not just address these issues up front.

Love your blog, btw.

How about the “Widmore Labs” pregnancy test? A diverse company since they’re also in construction. I wonder where that will lead.

What did we learn? Nothing new.

No real clear conclusion to Sun’s flashback. Nothing new about Henry Gale (but he is truly devious … love it!). Sayid’s search party did not find the balloon.

No movement in the storyline.

But, the preview for next week was exciting. Will the episode live up to the “coming attraction” ?
