Lost: Season Three

I actually really liked last night's episode. Seemed much more like the show I loved to watch the first season.
"shut up,...red...neck....man!"
"touche!"
 
Yeah, last night was great. For the first time in a while, I found myself smilling and laughing along.

Could the blueprint with the road that Sawyer uncovered in the van mean anything?

The ending was great with Rousseau. She's totally nuts and you can see the look on her face meaning "I'm going to kill all those bastards..."

Next week: We find out who this guy with the patch is.
 
You know last night's episode on Locke was revealing and yet not. I don't buy ben's arguement that Locke blew up the submarine out of fear. Locke has always been a follower, taken advantage of. Now he is in a position of power and good things have happened to him since landing on the island. He is right in saying that he GETS the island. The Others do not. He's always been one of my favourites.

The man that recruted Juliette also showed up last night with Ben. I assume he is the "Man from Tallahassee". Is he the man Mikhael said was "great man"? We are close to some answers on the Others and the island, I can feel it.

And good for Sayid in planting the seed of Rousseau in Alex's head.

I especially liked Jack's answer to Kate's question if he was with them now. "I'm not with anybody" The tatoo is right...

Next week, someone dies and looks like Sawyer and Sun are involved somehow.
 
That was a particulary good episode last night. I think my problem is that I feel like we should have been at the point close to the beginning of the season. Oh well, Ill take what I can get.

Did you notice Jack's Arm last night? There's something else on it now...couldnt tell what though...

Yes, I think Alex is going to become very important in future episodes.

The "big box" is an interesting concept...
 
Jacks tatoo did look different last night like something was added. This was one of the best episodes of this season. Hoping for a few more answers next week.:D
 
Wow. who knew Nicki and Paulo were actually interesting characters, and burried alive...awesome episode witht the flashbacks to the first season and episode.

Next week, Kate and Juliet duke it out for Jack...
 
I thought it was a really enjoyable episode, too. (Loved all the island flashbacks, where we got to see familiar people and familiar scenes from a different viewpoint. I also liked the little character moments: Charlie's confession. And the way Sawyer kept asking who people were -- the man definitely needs to get out more.)

I'm not sure that anything we saw actually advanced the plot, but it was, at the very least, a good stand-alone episode -- and maybe it will all prove to be full of deep significance as time goes on.
 
My key "takeaway" was how the lostaways came to false conclusions about Nikki & Paulo based upon the "evidence" eg the walkie-talkie and "Dude-monster". Thought it might have been directed a bit at the audience. ;)

Overall it was just ok for me. Kind of like a "outer limits" episode had been dropped into the middle of the plot.
 
Does the island kill killers (not necessarily directly)? Eko, Paulo, Nicki, Ana Lucia.

Not Michael, though, unless we've been misled as to his whereabouts. And several nonkillers have died. So I'm probably wrong.
 
Another great episode, but of course, some questions:

1) Who was the monster after? Kate? Would make sense since there is a connection between her, Eko, Nicki and Paulo (i.e. they all killed someone and with Eko in particular it was someone they loved) or Juliet? This would also make sense since it would explain why the monster did not come after Kate earlier when she was walkinh through the jungle to get to Othersville. It would explain why Juliet knew about the monster and indicates that the Others are protecting themselves from it.

2) Is Juliet trustworthy and did they leave her behind on purpose? I would guess yes for numerous reasons:
a) She's proven to be a great liar.
b) She lost her chance to go home and may have made another deal with Ben to includes becoming a mole in the survivor's camp.
c) She learned to manipulate from the best: Ben.
d) She had a key to the handcuffs and only revealed it when her life was in danger because of the monster (not part of the plan I suppose).
e) When Sayid suspects something, he's proven to have been right so far.
 
I liked the way the episode advanced the plot. Those are all good questions about Juliet. The Sawyer/Hurley sub-plot was funny, and it was weirdly endearing to see Sawyer enjoying his sudden popularity -- particularly because he always goes out of his way to be un-popular. (I've always felt that the way he distances himself from everyone else is calculated.)

The flashback struck me as more or less useless. We already knew that Kate's mother never forgave her. Her meeting up with Cassidy and thereby establishing another one of those mysterious connections (with Sawyer) was vaguely interesting, but that was about it.
 
I also really enjoyed this episode. That was much more like a Season one episode. Seems like we might be back on track!

Wasnt sure why the smoke-thing couldnt go over the wall. Does some part of it need to be tethered to the ground?

Id like to see the lostaways move into the complex. Who here wants to see Sawyer lose bets at playing pool to Kate? (me!)

The whole Juliette-Kate handcuff thing felt a bit off. Why gas the two of them and drag them out to the middle of nowhere only to leave Jack and Sayid at the complex? And, if it was Juliette's idea to tether herself to Kate to "bond" with her, how did she manage to drag Kate's body out that far by herself? Seems likely Juliette will play the "mole" in the lostaway camp and is doing what she does at the behest of the "others" and had help. Therefore, Im likely to not believe much that she "reveals" to Sayid in the next episode. Think: Muldur's "ketamine" episode from X-files.

Hurley telling Sawyer he was getting "voted out" of the tribe....classic!
 
Great questions tk I do believe julia is a mole. Ben won't let them go that easily. He needs to distance himself and the others from the lostaways. It's hard to spy on someone when they know where to find you. The others can find a new base and Julia can keep a eye on Jack and company. I'm sure that there are was for her to contact Ben. One other question - What did Ben offer john to go with them so willingly?
 
And what a cool scene it was when we saw the father bound and gagged in that "room". Did the island really make the father magically appear? And what is Locke going to do with his murder father? Where have the Others gone?
 
Sorry...meant to say "murderer" father. :rolleyes:

I don't think that Locke will murder him either. But I do think that the father will die somehow - given how he's been portrayed (especially the recent revelation that he killed the guy who was investigating him) - he's gotta die.

Wonder where the Others have gone and if Juliette is a mole or not. I'm leaning to "not".
 
The only problem I have with her not being a mole is how she would have managed to drag Kate's lifeless body that far out into the jungle. And then, why leave Jack and Sayid back at camp? She's already made a sort of "connection" with Jack? Why not just wait until they all wake up?

With Locke...I dont know. The kind of easy way he shoved the eye-patch guy into the "fence", ostensibly because he knew Locke's secret, was a tad disturbing....
 
When the smoke-cloud thing was after Kate and Juliet, I wondered if it was attracted to them because of the violent emotions they were displaying toward one another. Maybe the smoke-cloud sucks up bad emotions? Maybe it is a cleansing mechanism of some kind? (Didn't John meet the cloud long ago, and the cloud didn't attack him? Or am I misremembering?)

What was the bright flash of light that struck Kate's and Juliet's faces just before the smoke-cloud disappeared? Was that part of the cloud, doing something to them, or was that something driving the cloud away?

Teresa, the flashback to Kate's mother established a fact that I hadn't gotten previously about Kate: that she won't say she's sorry for having messed up, and because she won't, her mother rejects her. That fact adds significance to the moment later in the episode, when Kate tells Jack tearfully, from the heart, that she is "so sorry." And Jack doesn't still take her back or say he forgives her.

I'm thinking that the island offered John a chance to confront his father because old issues with his dad were the last things keeping John from being balanced or harmonious (the last negative baggage he brought to the island). I doubt very much that John dealt with those issues by killing his father.

Interacting with Juliet seems like a chance for Jack to deal with his issues about his wife. I expect that interacting with Jack is part of Juliet's process in dealing with her own issues, whether or not she is a mole.

At this point, I'm seeing the island as a place to cleanse people brought there by some force other than the Others.
 
You make some excellent points Brown Rat and though I don't see the island in quite the same benevolent or positive light; I do think that the 'real' story is probably far less sinister than we've been led to believe.

I do like your theory about the black smoke-cloud and you may be right about it being attracted by anger. Yes; it did encounter Locke once and did not attack him. But then again - the smoke-cloud attacked & killed Echo for no apparent reason. I don't remember him expressing any negative emotions that time; I think he was just walking in the jungle and next thing he knew...whip, bang - he was being flung around amongst the trees.

I have to admit that my heart broke for Kate after she apologized to Jack. He kind of brushed it off and then asked after Juliette. It was clear that Kate realized that she had 'lost' the special place she held in his esteem.

I don't think Juliette is a mole, though it is very strange that she ended up in the jungle with Kate while Jack & Sayid were left behind. What was the purpose of that? I have no idea what the white-flashes were but I'm sure it will prove to be significant later on.

I think that Ben abandoned Juliette because he knows that he cannot trust her anymore. What I don't get is Jack's total blind trust in her fealty. Sayid doesn't trust her one bit and Jack should be more cautious. I think his loyalty will end up biting him in the butt because it seems clear that Juliette's only goal is to leave the island and go home. I think she would turn on anyone if she thought it would get her one step closer to getting off the island.

I think that we'll see Locke do more than just confront his father. He has definitely evolved a lot while on the island. Most notably - as Trey said - when he shoved the eye-patch dude in to the fence. He showed no remorse. He also coldly and deliberately stole the C4 and plotted to blow up the submarine; without telling his so-called 'friends' one iota of his plan. Clearly...the island has changed Locke in many ways. And now he's thrown in with the Others. I'm sure that whatever happens with his father, it will be unexepected.

Did you catch the previews for next week? Sayid seems intent on getting the 'truth' from Juliette. If she were a mole...what would her purpose be? The Others pretty much know what they need to know of the Lostaways and don't appear to have any further use for the group. So why send in Juliette as a mole?

I LOVE Lost and all these mysteries! LOL
:D
