OK, folks, enjoy this episode because we go on hiatus for 2 weeks after this. The next episode will show on May 3. I believe we then go straight thru to the season finale. Romance blooms on the island, but who would’ve thought Hurley would be the beneficiary? Of course, it may not really be romance, and even if it is it may have nefarious undertones. So goes life on The Island. What new surprises will our latest guest, Henry Gale, have for us this week? Will he finally make his way back to The Others? I suspect that Jack will be in for a surprise when he tries to confront Zeke and make a trade. Maybe Henry Gale will already be back with The Others by then. From the ABC “Lost” website: “S.O.S.” Rose is surprisingly and vehemently opposed to Bernard’s plan to create an S.O.S. signal; romantic sparks are rekindled between Jack and Kate when they trek into the jungle to propose a “trade” with “The Others”; and Locke begins to question his faith in the island… Some useful Café Society links are given below: Thread index for Season 1 Episodes: [1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=277083) [2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=278382) [3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=279542) [4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=280792) [5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=281998) [6](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=283328) [7](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=284665) [8](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=285925) [9](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=287237) [10](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289514) [11](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=290718) [12](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=295320) [13](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=296591) [14](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=297760) [15](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=301602) [16](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=302710) [17](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=303909) [18](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=304986) [19](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309511) [20](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=310613) [21](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=315048) [22](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=316088) [23](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=317139) [24](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=318051) Thread index for Season 2 Episodes: [1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=335991) [2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=337167) [3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=338307) [4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=339366) [5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=340432) [6](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=343878) [7](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345144) [8](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=346239) [9](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=347177) [10](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=353542) [11](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=354691) [12](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=355716) [13](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=357834) [14](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=359015) [15](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361048) [16](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=363982) [17](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=365010) [18](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=366081) [The Official Lost Jargon Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286221) [Official “Lost” Questions Thread, Season 1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=284542) [Official “Lost” Questions Thread, Season 2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=336040) Here are some interesting external links: [The Lost Report](http://hometown.aol.com/qcotms/myhomepage/index.html): A very well written summary of the most current episode often containing interesting insights.

[Sledgeweb’s Lost… Stuff](http://lost.cubit.net/): Pretty good site, but again beware of spoilers. I use it mainly for the Timeline section, which is an incredibly detailed breakdown of “how long since…?” for almost anything you can think of (pre- and post-plane crash).

I have a question that’s been bugging me. Does everyone know about the hatch? Why aren’t they lined up to take showers, or throwing dice to see who gets to sleep on the bed. Anybody heard of PARTY with dancing to the music. Also, why did they leave the waterfall area? ---

Anybody heard of PARTY with dancing to the music. Good question, but last week Jack told Kate the water pipe was busted. Remember that Jack and Locke need to keep people away from the bunker\* because of Henry. > [@](#): > > Also, why did they leave the waterfall area? I don’t think that was fully explained, but it probably had to do with fear of The Others after the black smoke incident. \*I hate calling it “the hatch”. That’s like calling your house “the door”. ---

Thanks for the info JM. Henry certainly is a manipulative little SOB. I’ll bet anything he’s the one behind Jack going out to meet others about a trade. Speaking of Jack, is that the only name writer’s think of for main characters? Already we have Jack Bauer (24), Daddy Jack (Alias), Will and Grace, any more? ---

Some interesting revelations from the Tailsection website. Are there some similarities between the [mural](http://www.thetailsection.com/lost-pictures/Thomas_Artwork.jpg) in the Swan Bunker and the [paintings](http://www.thetailsection.com/lost-pictures/Mural.jpg) we saw in Season 1 during Claire’s backstory (done by her boyfriend)? And [this photo](http://www.thetailsection.com/uploaded_images/basket26nc-712613.jpg) shows the real Henry Gale had some interesting sponsors for his balloon voyage- Hurley’s fast food joint as well as the pregancy test lab (the latter was visible in another photo). ---
