Lost 2.1: "Man of Science, Man of Faith"

My money’s on Desmond being the guy in the Hatch.

Very old computer. That guy’s been down there a while. I guess that’s what the old song is telling us, too.

Secret government monitoring station? Magnetic research lab? Dr. Evil’s lair?
“So, you’ve found me at last, Mr. Powers… ermmm… wait, who the hell are you people?”

Dude … you mean Desmond = Dexter?

My god, that was a fast hour!

So obviously Desmond hasn’t been down the hatch as long as the vinyl and and ancient Computer would seem to indicate… unless he’s an EVIL TWIN!

Hey, was the patient the woman Jack was marrying?

OH MY GOD!!! She can wiggle her toes! I about cried!

holy crap, it IS Desmond! Yep!!!

Damn! How am I supposed to wait a whole week?

Yep – that was Sarah, from the one of the previous Jack flashbacks. Remember in that episode, there was the info about his wife-to-be having been a car crash patient of his, and he fixed her.

Yeah. The patient was Jack’s future former wife.

Wow. That was a hell of an episode.

Well, Invasion. It’s your turn. I don’t envy you following that.

What kind of frickin’ preview was that? That was stuff we’ve already seen!!

But … yeah. Holy crap.

Noooo! No more questions! Answers, now! Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Anyway, given Desmond’s spiel about how it would be a “miracle” if the patient was healed, and can now walk, and then Locke is “miraculously” healed, and can now walk, I’m inclined to think that both were healed in the same way. Heck if I know why, though.

167 hours, 56 minutes until the next “Lost.”

167 hours, 55 minutes.

167 hours, 54 minutes…

Gosh darn it all to heck anyway … all that time, all those questions, and still so few answers! Arrrrrrrrrrgh! I am so J.J. Abrams’ bitch.

Oh, and by the way … if this turns into Joan of Arcadia, there are going to be words, I tell you.

Did anyone have subtitles running to catch what Walt was saying, if anything?

Thank god for Channel 45. It’s usually pretty worthless, just infomercials and Green Acres, but they moved the first 30 minutes of Lost over there so we could avoid interruption.

Hope you didn’t miss anything Ass For A Hat.

Am I the only person who didn’t expect Hatch Guy to be Desmond until he spoke?

Okay, the new questions:

Why is there a guy living inside the hatch?
How did Walt appear to Shannon?
What was Walt telling Shannon?
What happened to Kate?
What’s the deal with 108?
What’s the deal with the magnet?
Is this the same Desmond who Jack saw back home?
How did Sarah get un-paralyzed?

And one more:

Why didn’t somebody pull the Jet Blue commercial off before it aired?

I think it said something like “indistinct whispering”.

I turned on Closed Captioning, and it just said [whispers indistinctly], or some such. Of course, it has been wrong in the past.

Little Nemo, I’d also add:
What was the medicine for?
If Desmond or whomever (anyone other than Jack, really) un-paralyzed Sarah, why?
What was the quarantine sign for?
