Anyone notice that Danielle has paper towels in her home where she takes Sayid? If she's been there 16 years you'd think she would have run out.

"A" pinless rifle? The very same pinless rifle, I'd say.

Two things:

I don't think your rub up of the sickness is sufficient. Remember that these guys all went into the same place that Ben went twice. Remember Richard's words; he won't be the same. The temple (maybe through the monster) has the effect of changing people to belong to the island.

The other, more trivial thing, Demonolith said the thing that makes theories about Lost mostly rubbish; 'whose to say it isn't'. Get some evidence fool!

One thing about the whispers: When Ben kidnapped baby Alex (in "The Little Prince"?) he told Danielle to run if she ever heard whispers. This would be kind of a weird time to be giving her a grave warning about something dangerous on the Island. I think they may just be some loudspeaker system the Others use to scare off the various people who end up on the Island.

Somewhere on Lostpedia is a breakdown of the whispers and they are lines ran backwards for the show to sound weirder than they would be just straight forward.

The creepy thing about them is that the Others and their living dead like Christian always appear when you hear them.

I have always thought they were somehow triggered by the Others doing their time travel thing. Its interesting how quickly they (and other people) appear after the whispers are heard. Christian could hardly have been on the Kahuna but just before the big bang we hear whispers and there he is.

I've pretty much convinced myself that the Others can time/place travel really quick without using the Donkey Wheel or anything gizmo. All these years we have seen only the Others off Island and doing things (thinking Richard and Ethan here). Neither Ben, Charles W. or Ellie ever pops in and out of people's lives. Once they left the island they were gone.

Desmond encounters Ellie in time place not by her appearing to him. She knows how it will play out and is in the right spot at the right time..and she/Charles ages..even Ben ages but it looks like all the rest never do.

Sayid was played like a fiddle all his life just like all the main Losties. He was manipulated into being who and what he was. Yet Jacob never "touched" him it seems.

And just where were the Others back in the day when Jacov and MIB had their meeting?

Anyone else think it was weird that no one ever came back to find out where else the looking glass cable lead too. Well, except for the end of season 3.

I left the comment on THe House of the Rising Sun entry about using a bullet list, linking to later seasons, etc. I'm glad you took everyone's remarks constructively...this new format is fantastic and it is what I think most people want/expect from the point of the rewatch. Keep up the great work, and again, good on you for taking the advice constructively...you improved things greatly!

I am enjoying the new format, and nice work on making the connections across several seasons. Your commentary in these recaps is welcome.

I think they've revealed enough to assume that the Others are the source of the whispers:

- You hear them right before Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley and Michael get ambushed by the Others in "Live Together, Die Alone"

- You hear them right before the Others ambush Keamy, Omar and company in "There's No Place Like Home (Part 2)"

- And when Ben kidnaps Alex in "Dead is Dead," he tells Danielle that if she hears whispers, she's to run the other way -- and he's one of the Others at this point.

oh yeah...i think the whispers could be the "others" traveling around the island through the tunnels. hopefully, S6 will answer this question!

I, too, was bothered by the discrepancies in Danielle's story to Sayid and what we learned in S5. However, i chalked it up to her mental state.

love the new format and love your blog!

The new format is great man.

I believe the whispers could be remnants from the past. What's to say it isn't?

THIS is what people look for in these re-watch articles. I get an ubernerdy thrill hearing about little details like the music box and firing pin, as much as I do with the stuff that affects the larger mythology (schmokey, jacob, whispers, etc)

Keep it up homeboy!

Yay.. I like this format either.. it makes it different than just reading what I already saw in the episode myself.. keep it up!

This is very interesting!
