The site doesn’t have anything yet, but Widmore Labs is the name on the pregnancy test that Sun took and some people have screen captures of Henry’s baloon that have Widmore Labs on it as well. The site was registered on the same day as the Lost episode with the pregnancy test by the same registrar that registered the Hanso Foundation site. I bet this site will warrant a visit on May 3rd.

Or.. maybe I’m one or two seasons ahead of where you guys are really going.

It seems to fail here. People wouldn’t like that, at least not the majority.

Damon and Carleton have said quite definitively on their podcast that the Losties are NOT dead, so I don’t think it’s purgatory.

What’s really cool about Lost is that it takes full advantage of all the technology we have at our disposal to make the show more fun for fans. Think about it — you can use TiVo and computers to get screen captures so people can more closely examine things like the map and Jack’s tattoo (that’s special for me!) and they monitor the forums and boards and address what the fans are saying in the show. Even if you didn’t like the “Dave” episode, it was kind of fun to see them play out in a character what a lot of people have been theorizing about on forums and podcasts and such.

I don’t know of any other shows that have done this to such an extent and I think it’s a brilliant concept. WAY better than voting for a bunch of random amateur singers on a talent show…

Who determines “fate?” Maybe it is “he,” the person referenced (a few times) with great reverence. Fate is the master plan designed by “him,” to bring a select group (the Losties) to the Island an unknown reason.

An interesting theory being tossed around is that the one of the original subjects from the ESP experiments had “his” ability magnified hundreds of times because of the super magnetic properties of the Island.

Imagine someone living on the Island with the power of a God. The ability to see and influence almost anything at will.. on or OFF the Island. Hmmm But if he leaves, so do his powers.

“God can’t see us here.” Maybe “he” can’t because of the magnetic properties surrounding the Hatch. The power that actually gives him the power to be what he is, also limits what he can do.

Was it “fate’s design” to bring one, maybe two specific people/children/babies to the Island?

“They will never give up Walt.” Why? We know he had supernatural ability before arriving on the Island. And now that he is here.. are those the supernatural abilities being magnified?

Could Walt be “him.” in a universe where space and time are circular? Think young Walt, old Walt, timeless Walt.

But “they will never give him up.” Why? Is this an attempt by the Others to stop what Walt is, was, or can be?

Right or wrong.. we’ll see.

You guys see that clip of David Spade’s takeoff on the Locke-Jack-Henry in the hatch scene? Quite funny! There’s a link on jayandjack.com

I’ve found many of the more recent lost episodes have lost their ‘thrilling’ and somewhat creepy edge. The only thing mysterious about this ep was “Henry Gale’s” Dahmer-like smile.

Again, we see more of Jack out-smarting, out-thinking, and showboating (outshooting Kate), this episode. He’s quickly becoming too superhuman and perfect. He used to be a cool character but he’s rapidly becoming my least favorite.

Overall an Ok episode but nothing to write home about.

I think the comment notHenry made about not even God being able to see the island is one of the more interesting tidbits that has been revealed this season. It will be interesting to see how this pans out as the series moves forward. I hope people have faith that the writers know what they are doing and stick with the show until the truths are revealed.

I’m not saying this concept fits perfectly. Is the Dharma project a part of this afterlife or part of the passengers’ test? “Dharma” in my dictionary is “The ultimate law of all things”. Cerberus guards the entrance to Hades. God does not see the island. Are the Others visitors from Hades?

as far as i can remember, thats about it. the rest of the episode is rerun in my eyes. a far cry from the previews claims.

I can’t help but think about Ecko’s future direction as a character… As we now know, each of the characters have had extremely interesting backgrounds, and after experiencing some form of trauma, each reached a turning point that moved their lives in very different directions.

Since Ecko was responsible for causing the death of his brother, he has chosen to lead a life of attonement. Once he has completed the construction of the “Church”, I wonder if he might follow (or be forced to follow) some different path than the one that he has chosen for himself. After all, the Island has influenced each person in some profound way.

On another note, with the Rose/Bernard flashback, we now have a complete understanding of why each season one character was in Australia. Can it be that we will soon have explanations for what the tailies were doing down under? Hopefully we’ll learn more about A. L. or Ecko soon!

I have one final question for everyone… Was this a Rose, or Bernard Flashback?

D!

I think it’s a fair point to say that if the show genuinely aggravates you, it might not be in your best interest to watch it (or wade into fan sites about it)… but on the other hand, you can be a fan and still be dissatisfied with an episode or a show’s direction. And derzornhistology is certainly not alone in his disappointment. I have friends that didn’t get into the show until Season 2 that love it, but I also have friends that think Season 1 was the best it got, and have long ago left “LOST” for something else. Say, “Battlestar Galactica,” where there’s no question of its sci-fi core.

When “LOST” was new, the mysteries were wide open and I presume the creators were meticulous about various elements because the future was unclear. Now it’s a hit, and has a lifetime of at least a few more seasons, so they somehow have to nail some things down yet at the same time not close too many doors so as to make following the show pointless.

I imagine that Season 2 will ultimately be remembered more as a “settling out” season than a particularly good one in the grand scheme of things — the “Sophomore Slump,” perhaps — but even so I’m enjoying the ride.

That is pretty funny actually. My point wasn’t that everyone should fall in line and be ‘utopian’ in their enthusiasm for the show, I was merely taking to task how much time you spent complaining about the show.

If I’m critical, it’s because I don’t have a problem with the pace of the show, which is what most of the people who criticize the show seem to have. The phenomenon of ‘gulping down your food’ is seemingly an American trait which i tend to abhor. Take a ride and enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the backstories about the people. I think the real genius in this show is how they are peeling away layers to reveal the story in it’s entirety. This isn’t a Schwarzennegar action flick, it’s a thought provoking adventure into a metaphysical character study. Certainly not something most people have a stomach for in our ‘oompaloompa now’ culture.

That being said, I do find continuity to be a problem on the show which they finally addressed this week, although weakly, when Kate revealed the info to Jack about the other hatch.

Also, the one thing that season 2 doesn’t have that season one had was the sense of urgency, and mystery. Also, why did they remove the image of the eyeball at the start of the episodes? I kinda liked that even though I don’t really know what kind of meaning it had. It was a nice flavor.

Anyway, enjoy the ride. Take small bites and taste the food.

This is a very interesting and fun TV show, one where the viewers actually seem to influence the direction of the story. So be careful what you say here.

gaffaw!

Simples answers to both questions.

Firstly, I watched the show because it was compelling, with myriad twists and enigmas. I watched to find out answers about the others, the dharma initiative, the island, the smoke, henry gale, Walt’s whereabouts, Desmond’s involvement etcetera. I thought there was a plan, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the show is one giant ruse after the next.

Secondly, I chose to post here because I believed this blog to have the most perspicacious group of ‘Lost’ commentators anywhere. In the past, this blog offered a lot in terms of breaking down each episode and drawing connections between the various aspects of the story.

Yet, as the episodes become drawn out and decline in quality, I find the exegesis is being replaced with apologism. While some of the interpretation remains insightful, the dearth of criticism is distressing - hence my ‘whining’ (a term which was clearly used to deride my remarks and not counter them). It is out of sorrow for the squandered potential of this show that I bother to say these things. That, and perhaps a vain hope that my words may compel the Lost writers to change some things. This is fueled by the fact that the Lost writers are evidently altering story / script ideas based on interpretation / criticism from the blogosphere.

My apologies if my uproarious comments have disrupted the utopian cohesion and unformity of thinking that you desire for this blog.

Hurley and Sayid picked up some Glenn Miller music (another plane crash) = and we’ve heard Patsy Cline on the show - she also died in a plane crash.

I think the reason that Rose and Locke are “healed” but Sawyer is not has to do with the island being the “right” place for them. Maybe the island just isn’t the “right” place for Sawyer, in the same way that Rose could not be healed at Ayer’s Rock.

As for the Jack and Kate in a net thing, I didn’t think it was silly as much as it seemed unnecessary. But then again, theres doesn’t seem to be anything that doesn’t happen for a reason on the show.

What I do have an issue with, however, is what a pathetic excuse for a tracker/survival nut Kate is turning out to be.

“derzornhistology, why do you watch the show? Better yet, why do you go a blog where people come to discuss it just to whine?”

Seriously. Go watch American Idol or something if you hate it that much.

I liked this episode and I think Rose and Bernard are quite sweet. And a good antidote to “Jate.” I also like that this episode lends credence to my firmly held conviction that Sun DID NOT cheat on Jin.

And I really want to know what the evil and icky “Henry Gale” is up to now…

http://www.theblackrock.org. As you already know, the direct link to the video is:

http://www.dharma.quantym.net/index2.php

On the blast door map where it says “C4″ and below “x4, y8, z15″ it says “subterranean conduit?” which I believe means subterranean dock.

So Jim and HeyBrath you could be right that it be the “Goblet” hatch with a dock under the island leading to the ocean outside. This could one of two places where they kept Mike, and have Walt and/or the other captives. There is still the “Flame” and the other two possible hatches, the one that says “C3″ and the one scribbled out.

It is interesting to note all the other info the map provides. If what is stated makes sence I would have to say the island and Dharma Initiative is a twist between The Island of Dr. Monroe, Jarrasic Park, and other such similar movies involving genetics and islands.

The Dharma people had some experiment going which like always fails and gets out of control, but for these “Others” where they part of an experiment gone wrong? Or are they part of something involving the magnetic energy of the island. Maybe they had some ilnesses in which the island healed them. But then whats up with this “outbreak” kind of thing in which there needs to given a vaccine like thing. But accordind to the blast door “The disease worsens with the treatment, The remedy is worse than the disease” (in Latin) so maybe there is no “disease” or that there is no cure but an even lethal disease is needed to be given. So many questons, but so few or none answers.

So untill next time lets see what happens in two weeks.

derzornhistology, why do you watch the show? Better yet, why do you go a blog where people come to discuss it just to whine?

One mustn’t forget that the preview for the next episode typically misrepresents information so that the story seems a lot more eventful and informative than it ever really is.

After watching an episode, ask yourself this question: What actually happened during these past 42 minutes?

In this episode’s case, they found Mike. Does that merit 42 minutes of television?

The joke is on us, folks.

Does anyone know how many weeks it will be until a new episode? I cant wait to hear Michaels story about the others.

The Others might be in Station 5, the “Goblet.”

I enjoyed the development in the story, though.
