And they have realized they need to take a break ;)

Also - loved it when Sawyer said "Who the heck are you" to Nikki :)

Yep, our receptionist here has an interesting theory on Nikki and the TP guy. She said she saw it on a lost board. Since we know Desmond has the weird
time travel deal going on, maybe the reason those 2 are suddenly on the island and acting like they've been part of the cool clicque all along is that maybe Desmond did something in time that caused a change in the present and suddenly they're here?

In other words originally they're not on the plane so they don't end up on the island, but Desmond makes some small change in time that causes a ripple that ends up with them on the plane, and thus on the island. And because it's a time change, nobody else on the island thinks it's odd they're suddenly there?

Interesting to think about at least.

In his defense - how could he know that pushing 77 would blow up the building? Maybe he thought it would send out a distress signal.

you would think that after the mess he made at the hatch he would just stay away from all computers. the idea that he would go messing around with one again when he definitely doesn't know what he is doing is a dangerous endeavor. he is just curious enough and not cautious enough to be a detriment to the rest of the group.

the problem now is that he is operating without any guidance. nobody stands up to him to keep him in check like jack (shepherd or bauer) did.

How is that a plot hole or a goof? Did it occur to you that they planned for it to be in France the whole time?

I think Jon is saying if Sayid lived and worked in France he should speak some French so why did he need Shannon to translate the message in season 1?

Am I getting warm Jon?

We have a winner!

Even he had become fluent, you would have thought he would have learned some of the language by living there - since that is how Shannon learned French.

:p

oh i disagree. i lived in seoul, korea for a year and didn't leave there knowing very much korean at all. 1. i don't think they told us how long he had actually been there, 2. i'm not sure if "length or time" there would even be relevant because that doesn't mean that he would pick up the language, especially if he was not interested in learning it to begin with.

i do not remember, but does he ever mention in season 1 if he spent any length of time in Paris?

they answered a bunch of them but then the Russian guy turned out to be a liar so now we're not sure how much was real.

But we learned that Dharma came after the others(the hostiles) and that they are indeed separate. So the people who think the others descended from those on the boat they found before may be right. We learned there was a "purge". We learned about the submarines etc.

We just don't know what was true and what wasn't. But we should learn more, Sayid took the Dharma operations manual, it had the map in that he pulled out, and no doubt has a lot more info about Dharma we'll now learn.

Much better episode for me last night.

I'm not sure we have heard the last on the "77" comment, it seemed like Locke was about to say something else when the building exploded, and then was never given the opportunity because Sayid said they had to get moving.

Yes - that manual should be good.

If they are all not Dharma - who are they? How did they get to the island?
Descendents of the Black Rock?

That would be the boat, couldn't think of the name. But yes that's my guess they are descendents of the black rock.

That would explain why the others were hostile to the Losties and why they keep saying this is our island, because they've been fighting the "hostiles" for years.
