You know how much better than Unhitched or Quarterlife "Miss Guided" is? [holds thumb and forefinger together, but not tightly] "This much better."

I'm thinking it's Claire and Jin as the front runners.

But my wacky comedic remark is that it will be the unused twenty of the original Flight 815 survivors who all get redshirted at once in a massive attack. Joanna drowned herself, Scott (or Steve) got Ethaned, the guy with glasses was never heard from again, Dr. Arzt blew up real good and the fans hated Nikki and Paulo so much they were buried alive to thunderous applause.

It was always surmised that the rest of the original 48 passengers were just there to fill the background scenes and to serve as red shirts and cannon fodder and "victims of the monster" or as polar bear chow. If those couple dozen non-characters were only created to die, let's get on with it and kill them already.

RIP Out of focus girl walking around in the background in a bikini, we never knew you.

I really hope they explain what' michael's been up to,

and where did the helecopter go? is the trip to the Island faster than the trip back to the boat?

possible spoilers ************************* since the chick that plays libby is supposed to guest star, i figure that she'll be in michael's flashback, and i'm only guessing it's a flashback because it's supposed to be michael centrick, but it seems like a safe assumption...

Good speculation, Rokur. I think that's how this episode ends: someone walks into the shed, finds Miles with a saliva soaked grenade still in his mouth and takes it out and... (BOOM!!!).... Lost...

I also have video games like guitar hero 3 to keep me occupied...

unfortunately nobody in my family was ever into sports so I never got into sports.... i'll watch stuff like the world series, or the playoffs, and the superbowl, but thats about it....

on the LOST front, i am REALLLLY looking forward to tonights episode.....

but after this week it looks like it's going to be a slow month or two for television....

At least on April 4th, we will finally be privledged enough to watch some new BSG.......

it's about 3:40 am and I still have like 19 hours to wait till LOST......

Then I'm leaving to pick up a new game for PS3, play it for an hour or so.

Then my fiance and i are going to a local bar/restaurant to get dinner, have a couple drinks.

Then I'm returning home just in time for Lost.

Plus I plan on getting laid afterwards.

Perfect day!

at least it's not as bad as the wait for the 4th season of galactica has been....

As to who dies, my quarter is on Michael.

And Sayid is totally the Professor. Claire is the MaryAnn, that Beyotch Shannon was the Ginger.

No, wait, maybe Boone and Shannon were the Howells - "the millionaire and his wife". Nikki, an actress, would be Ginger then and what could be more Gilliganesque than the way Dr. Arzt blewed hisself up? "Dude, you got Gilligan on you." Hmmm, if we're playing "Dead Gilligans", that would make "the Pilot" (or Matt Parkman as Heroes fans like to call him) The Skipper. But then Dr. Arzt would be the Professor and Libby would be the MaryAnn. Making Charlie Gilligan! Making The Dharma Initiative the Harlem Globetrotters.

See, it all makes sense, it's the Lostverses way of killing off the Gilligan's Island comparisons by eliminating every Lost Island counterpart to a Gilligan character.

[Checks Lost Talk-Back checklist: ridiculous theory that actually seems to make sense unless you think about it... check.]

Are you up here in this frozen (well...now mostly thawed) wasteland, too?

Things I am looking forward to tonight:

Finding out what Michael was doing when he was off the island.

Finding out how Michael managed to get on the boat with a brand new identity in such a short period of time.

Finding out how he is communicating with Ben, who seems to have a ton of information about the freighter people, but no real way of getting that info.

Possibly finding out more about the staged wreck at the bottom of the ocean.

Waaaaaaaaaalllllllttttt!

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I've got for the moment.

must avoid spoilers!!! back to read later after the show.......

You're just angry that there are no Insiderscoop posts that you can repost here anymore.

To paraphrase that one famous guy who said that thing, "can't we all just do the opposite of just get along" and have everyone who doesn't come here to discuss or joke about Lost the series in general or tonight's episode of Lost in specific just go somewhere else for once? It's a huge freaking internets, people, just find a tube and hunker. Not here.

Besides, I'm just wasting my time waiting for someone to post anything interesting and Lost-related. Spark up a discussion about the show and you'll see my interest in sports drop dramatically.

See, bait and switch. You thought I was going to reference the MAIN group that likes that sort of thing, male homosexuals, but I switched it up. Bait and switch, like wading through a Lost talkback to read some children posting a play by play of whatever sportsball competition they happen to be watching at the time.

Sorry, Node Zipcode, I haven't worn panties since the early '70s but when I did I always kept them neatly folded.

Hey, at least it keeps him from reproducing...

Anyway, since Ben seems to be warning his daughter to leave the camp. Maybe Ben got word from his spy Kevin Johnson that the heli is on it's way to the camp to bust things up. Maybe they are trying to get grenade mouth back too. Just a thought.

2. He was always a spy for Ben's group. It's why he never went to see Walt when he was young, how the Others knew to go after the raft, and how he was able to have a new identity quickly...he already had it.

3. He never made it home. He was adrift on the boat until he ran into the freighter. Unfortunately this doesn't explain much and doesn't match up with some of the things rumored to happen in the episode.

4. Kevin Johnson isn't Michael, at least, not the same one that was on the plane. We've seen (or most of us have) the Orchid video and there is a duplicate Michael. (The Prestige, FTW?)

5. Magic Walt has learned more about his powers and was able to change reality rather than just crash birds into windows. By manipulating reality Walt made it where he and his father never got on the plane, and they have been trying to get back to save people ever since.

Ok, my theories are getting more and more absurd, so I think I'll stop guessing and just have to wait to find out.

Yeah I'm sure they are going to flesh out the Ben and Alex storyline some more. She really is the only person he cares about well besides his boyish love for Juliet. Creepy dude there.

I do mention other shows I watch about once a week here just as a way of kidding the truly devoted Lost fanatics who seem to believe that there's only one good hour of television per week - or the more typical AICN kids who seem to think that if it ain't sci-fi/fantasy, it's crap. {Todays "tape Eli/watch Lipstick season finale" comment was specifically a spoof of last weeks spate of "tape Lost, watch Reaper" posts. New Reaper tonight, by the way.)

As for the challenge to post something about Lost to try to stimulate some discussion of the show, I refer you to "So Who Dies? (2.12.52) and "Dead Gilligans" (7.59.02) as evidence that I am making the effort.

To Node and Fount and any other sports fans here, my apologies. F's right, my scroll wheel works just fine. I already scroll past the trolls hurling insults back and forth like monkeys flinnging so much dung, if people come here to discuss athletes I'll just add them to the list of names of posters whose contributions warrent ignoring. Feel free to discuss sports all you want, I just wanted to go on record as having expressed my disinterest - I'll drop it now if you want to get in a last word. Peace and Namaste.

I caught part of it a few weeks back and there is a scene where they go to buy a karaoke (?) machine. This asian guy comes in singing a really bad version of Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield.

It is none other than Mister "I see dead people and eat grenades for breakfast" Miles himself. He is doing this horrible stereotypical asian accent. Then he stops and says "alright I'll sell it to you straight" and he is doing his normal voice.

It was so damn funny to see him acting like that after seeing him on Lost. You have to check it out.

My first thought was that NCAA was the organization that issues the Comics Code Approval stamp on newsstand distributed comic books.

Luciana? You mean Ana Lucia? Or AnaL as her AICN Lost talk-back fans call her.

Would Michael murder two women under orders in order to save his son? No doubt, but I think what actually happened was that he came specifically to assassinate Ana Lucia and Libby walked in, surprised him, he pointed the gun and popped her. I don't think that was deliberate or part of any master plan (other than the possible master plan to get the drunk party girls off the show.)

I have an antisocial question. Hawaii produces the best quality domestic marijuana in the United States and it's expensive - heck, it was expensive in 1978 the last time I saw any - but these hit show actors must be able to afford it. So why are they drinking alcohol? Or is it that stoners just lay back and mellow out and the drinkers go driving around getting caught? Don't smoke pot, kids; it's expensive and illegal. Don't drink and drive either; it's potentially lethal, and not just because Michael will shoot you when you get home.

Unless Michael dies in tonights episode, then I'm calling Ben in the coffin.

Basically, we know people cant get close to the island and leave with out getting sick. (Fisher Stevens and Desmond, and the other guy). Desmond got sick because he was there when the hatch exploded. So who wasn't near the Hatch when it exploded..Hurley (O sixer, check), Jack (check), Kate (check), Sawyer (no check ?), Sayid (check), Jin and Sun (check). Does this factor into who is allowed to leave and who doesn't? Makes sense.

However, this brings up an interesting question. Does anyone know that Michael killed Ana and Libby or just that he betrayed Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley? They may all still think Ben killed A and L and shot Michael.

I am staying away from this fuckin page til tomorrow. Last LOST for a while...I want to be surprised. You want me...I'll be back over in the "Ji Yeon" TB. Namaste, bruthas.

Sun just had her baby which was conceived more than a month after being on the island. Their story claims that Jin died in the crash. Is she trying to convince everyone including her doctors that she was already pregnant and is giving birth very early?

There is a plane at the bottom of the ocean with a bunch of dead bodies. There have been press conferences and family notifications and all sorts of news coverage, so everyone knows about this. How can they possibly explain 6 living people?

Where did the black box come from? Is it the real black box or from the fake plane? If it's from the fake, who cares if anyone has it. If it's from the real plane, how did Widmore get it before finding the island?

Did Ben really plant the fake plane? If not, who did and why?

And they was right.

I wanna believe the note to Sayid, and in effect NOT believe the captain. What I'm more inclined to question is where one would get 324 bodies to place in a fake crash site. This coincides with a theory that Widmore set up the fake wreckage so as to not let anyone else go looking for the island.

On the other hand, that one will burn out eventually and this one will keep going until April 24th, so we'll get them eventually.

I still have that same problem with the walking through the jungle bit too. Everyone seems to just run into eachother like they are all on the same path. Then when Sun goes to get ready for a trek they say it takes two days to get to Locke's camp. Oh well this is all small stuff but it can take you out of the story.

Where's that cute chick that crashed from the tail section? The one taking care of the kids. Bring her back.

Napoleon, seems like you have your own sport going on. The race of the talkback posts. Here's a point for your total.

Half an hour!!

My Badger smells Wolverat in the house?? Hey sorry about what we did to you in football this year...there is always basketb....ah yeah, we crushed you 3 times there too. Hey - cross country! I think you got a shot.

Node, BigE...congrats. Locke is serving cooked Owl tonight.

Doook is gettign beat. Excellent.

10 minutes until I am complete.

Terry...give me about an hour and half to get this Ep on Pirate Bay. You shall have it as quick as I can create the torrent.

LOST is going to change the game tonight. What we thought we knew will be thrown into question. 3.2 million? 32 hours until the commandos land from the other boat to take this island by force. My theory as to why Ben wants Alex OUT of there now.

Kevin looks older (as some very good ideas have pointed out)because he arrived in NY at a time previous to the time he ever took custody of WAAAAAAALT. He is now in a different timeline. THose on the island are in a "time bubble" and are immune to the effects of changes to space time on the outside. Michael knew what he had and now what he is LOST. And he is on a mission to die. But he won't.

Enjoy an hour as close to perfection as we may ever see.

Namaste.

I'm hammered already

YeeHa Ride em cowboy

THE ISLAND WONT LET YOU!!

Holy shit this is an awesome episode!!

Naomi - The sexiness transends death.

Miles is from day one, a creepy fuck.

His plane needs to be the only plane they find, so they are going to wipe out all traces of out Losties. And they have soldiers on board!

My crazy ass theory might be close!

LIBBY!!!!?!?!?! What the fuck is going on on that boat?

So - there are growth issues to contend with according to Darlton - and that will explain the aging of Mike and Walt.

DRINK

Where is our DEATH???

As Carl said, "I've got a bad feeling about this"

AND

THe death.

pop pop pop.

Those are some cold blooded fucks

Man Dawn !

Woman Down

Alex! Duck!

Holy fuck - I can't take the hiatus!

As for Danielle, we aren't positive that she is dead. I sincerely hope that she isn't. Karl is one dead teenager though.

Does anyone else think that maybe it wasn't the people from the boat who started shooting, but THE OTHERS??? They would have plenty of reason to kill both Danielle and Karl... and to obviously keep Alex alive.

But goddamn I hope Danielle isn't dead.
