Monstre, It is my own personal theory that there are two monsters on the island.
One is the creature that is mentioned on that page. The other is the biomechanical thing that is underground. What Locke saw in that early episode was the first creature, that’s why he wasn’t scared and said it was beautiful. The second time, it was the underground thing. The first creature might have been a Megatherium, which is elephant size.
egrets…I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
A spoiler of clarification from TV Guide (it deals with the Finale, but should be a spoiler)
Regarding the debate about whether or not we were supposed to see what was wrapped around Locke’s leg, JJ did say that in the finale, we get to see “part” of the island’s monster. Take that for what you will. He could be talking about the rope-like thing somebody spotted, or the wisps of black smoke…
I don’t know that a Giant Sloth would be called beautiful. Interesting - yes, fascinating - sure, amazing - youbetcha, but beautiful? Unless Locke is a really hard core naturalist who’s been searching for a Giant Sloth all his life, I don’t think that he’d describe it that way.
So… if it’s a big giant stompy crushy killer robot / animal security system…
and maybe it’s invisible like NoClueBoy speculates…
then what are those tendrils of smokiness?
Man, this is gonna be a long summer… 
then again, it also said we’d be seeing alot more of arzt. Unless they meant lots more seperate pieces of arzt.
That’s the problem with prophesy…it’s always open to interpretation. We did see a lot more of Arzt. We saw his spleen, his lungs, his lower colon, his…
Isn’t the character’s name ARNST, not ARZT?
Nope. He spelled it for us.
No. It’s Leslie Arzt.
Hurley kept erroneously putting in the N, much to the man’s annoyance.
It seems to me that Jin’s hair is getting curly now that it’s growing longer. Funny, I had thought that most Asians had coarse, straight hair that is hard to curl and resists frizz. Hmmm.
The key word there being “most”. Not all Asians have straight hair.
“Um, dude… you’ve got some… Arnzt… on you.”
Spilled.
What the heck does he have in his mouth?
A bug of some kind.
Anyone notice that the three people whose name Hurley couldn’t get straight are all dead? Some magic traditions hold that knowing something’s true name gives you power over it.
I did wait. I’ve begun suspecting the show wasn’t going to be able to deliver weeks ago. But I figured it was only fair to give them an entire season because it was possible they would bring it all home in the finale. They didn’t. So I’m no longer worried about being disappointed or expecting to be disappointed or fearing I’ll be disappointed. I now have been disappointed. And I see no reason, other than a fear of not being part of the crowd, not to express my opinion.
To use your metaphor, if you’re in a relationship with a girl who does nothing but abuse you, you’re in denial if you think you should stick it out because she’ll change. Or maybe we should realize this is just a TV show and relationship metaphors don’t apply.
Anyway, I think a lot of people misunderstood my comparison with Twin Peaks. I wasn’t saying that Twin Peaks failed to answer the questions it raised - as I wrote, I didn’t really watch the series much, so I don’t know if it did or didn’t. The comparison I was making was that Twin Peaks was a huge phenomenon one year and then, when it took a break, its audience suddenly shook itself awake and collectively said, “what was that all about?” and 90% of them never watched the second season.
I’m predicting a similar fate for Lost. It’s definitely a phenomenon and it’s been riding on a huge wave of fandom. But I think the three months delay before the second season is going to kill its popularity. No matter what happens, the second season opener is going to disappoint the fans - no episode could live up to what people’s expectations will be. And then as the season goes along, viewers are going to start getting bored or frustrated. Plus they’re will be the inevitable backlash - some of the same people who love the show now will want to denounce it next year.
But my opinion of the show’s overall popularity is distinct from my own personal opinion of the show. Ironically, with my expectations diminished, I may end up enjoying next season more than many others will.
Don’t know what you’re trying to say here. Arzt’s name is the only one Hurley has had trouble with.
