He basically makes him believe that he has a choice and he should think about that choice. <br />He hands sayid a knife in one of the next coming episodes. Notice sayid&#39;s resistence. Almost like giving an assasin the choice to be an assasin again. <br />What if mr. black and jacob are essentially playing a game (like backgammon) and the people on the island are the pawns? It&#39;s like the first season each person decides their path- whether it be the dark path (sayid torturing sawyer)or the light path (Charlie throwing his drugs in the fire) Some are more undecided then others, like shannon who wants to be good but just may not be capable of it. And some think they are good (Jack) but continually lie and choose dark paths (alcohol).<br />Well theres some stuff to chew on here anyway lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-67092321527174809452009-07-08T10:12:56.012-07:002009-07-08T10:12:56.012-07:00<i>Michael confronts Jin, setting him free but giving him back the watch and telling him to stay away. In a flashback, Jin shows his more tender side to Sun by holding up a flower, convincing her not to leave him.</i><br /><br />That&#39;s it? I find hard to believe that no one commented on the line Michael shouts to Jin as he throws the watch at him: <i>&quot;[...] which is ridiculous, since time doesn&#39;t matter on the damn island!&quot;</i><br /><br />Wink wink!!Χρήστοςhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159299077297656370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-40713699851873718872009-06-30T01:20:27.938-07:002009-06-30T01:20:27.938-07:00come to think of it, it does make sense that the adam and eve are rose and bernard who would have died some stage between the 70s and todayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-18530027049810455372009-06-18T20:49:53.808-07:002009-06-18T20:49:53.808-07:00Does anyone else see a correlation between the white and black stones found on the body and the new theme of light (Jacob) and dark (his nemesis). This has shown up twice within the first six episodes with backgammon and now with the stones. I&#39;m wondering how many other occurrences of this will show up in the other seasons?Aznfevrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853280344084898164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-48956255806633940772009-06-18T15:50:58.933-07:002009-06-18T15:50:58.933-07:00There is something I noticed when watching this episode regarding Adam and Eve. Did anyone else notice that Jack takes the pouch with the stones and puts them in his pocket and to my knowledge they never resurface and no one except Locke and Kate know of the skeletons. Could this be a hint that Jack is Adam? If so, is Eve Kate? Jack&#39;s father&#39;s possesed body led him to the caves and Kate clearly loves Jack in the early episodes, even though she is more hot for Sawyer, so could they end up there in the end?

He had to know that he was losing his wife by working with her father. And that he was afraid to tell her because she might slip up and her father find out.<br /><br />Think of that...both of them planning an escape without the other one knowing. And Sun was the only Lostie that seemed interesting in finding native plants for food and healing. She had her garden growing before they had been there 2 weeks. Doesn&#39;t it make you wonder if she is in the time loop and vaguely remembers knowing they will be there a long time.Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14305240521361383097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-89802971521570044762009-06-18T13:09:17.330-07:002009-06-18T13:09:17.330-07:00So, does Jack&#39;s tatoo have any meaning beyond what it says. We know the literal translation says &quot;He walks among us but is not one of us&quot;. Does it mean he is somehow different than the other survivors, as well as the Others? Also, Jack has added to the tatto that Achara created. He added a pyrimid type object and the number 5. Could the 5 be for his &quot;Count to Five&quot; story?Bdubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-84831807835288620212009-06-18T09:17:06.079-07:002009-06-18T09:17:06.079-07:00No offense as this site has provided me with hundreds of hours of free, quality entertainment, but...I agree with the others. We could just read the Wiki page for the summary... <br /><br />Maybe consider watching, making a short bulleted list of possible links between early events and more recent LOST developments, discuss the connections and foreshadowing, etc...<br /><br />I.E. &quot;This must have meant _____&quot; &quot;Is this hinting at _____?&quot;<br /><br />Would draw more interest and would make some topics from the episode to talk about very clear. <br /><br />Users can discuss these links/connections @ the forum, which is cool since the present reviews lack detailed analysisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-36085892450565717612009-06-18T08:30:04.370-07:002009-06-18T08:30:04.370-07:00I agree &#39;stranger in a strange land&#39; isn&#39;t one of the greatest episodes, but you have to love the moment jack and juliet are on the front of the boat. The music, the look they give each other, the body language as they go back to the island all says so much.<br /> <br />Also i too would love your thoughts on the episode, rather than what happened. :-)Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03337836508357773564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-7481056607145987932009-06-18T07:44:42.998-07:002009-06-18T07:44:42.998-07:00I would have to agree with Robbie... the slimming down effect has hurt the analysis more than the plot summation. Of course bringing up plot points is essential, but Robbie is right, these are beginning to read like synopses. Judging by your posts of the first couple episodes, you are good at finding the connections between these first looks at the characters and what will happen to them down the line. Keep that up homeboy. Anyone reading your stuff has probably seen these episodes at least twice through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-81233309317327789302009-06-18T07:14:39.377-07:002009-06-18T07:14:39.377-07:00I meant &quot;Ironic&quot; more than humorous.Sam McPhersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00524663643594184629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-13361410413789041582009-06-18T02:09:49.391-07:002009-06-18T02:09:49.391-07:00<i>This is slightly humorous, because Harold Perrineau will continue accusing people of racism even after he leaves the show.</i><br /><br />I&#39;m sorry, but I just don&#39;t find this &quot;humorous&quot; at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920393039273628205.post-22491792492543395462009-06-17T18:21:27.900-07:002009-06-17T18:21:27.900-07:00Well, I try to go along and recap the important parts along with new content.
