Here in BC we didn’t see the Hanso Org commercial … anyone have a linky? Or can you at least describe it? Or was it just the phone number …? Thanks!

Well according to some sources, apparently Libby…
Shows up pretty prominently in someone else’s flashback in the season finale.

Go to [www.thehansofoundation.org](http://www.thehansofoundation.org) and click the TV Ad link. It plays almost the entire ad. The only additional bit on the actual TV ad was the web site address and the phone number (and a tiny blurb saying “paid for by abc”).

No, it was an older woman (not old, but older than Claire) with yellower hair. But Jack’s dad was yelling about “my daughter.” Remember that implied thing about Claire having issues with her dad? I’m thinkin’ Jack and Claire are half-brother and -sister.

I did a Google search for “Hanso Foundation.” The first result was an archive of the old Hanso Foundation website at [http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/](http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hanso/).
Aha, I thought. Everything we’ve seen–the foundation, the research and the island–is all about developing the technologies needed for interplanentary spaceships. So I was a little disappointed when I looked at the Big Spaceship homepage and found that it’s an interactive media company that develops websites used to market movies and television shows. (Their new project is a website to promote The Da Vinci Code movie.) So my brilliant theory is shot to hell.

Exactly what I’ve been thinking. I thought they would end this episode with the older woman talking on the phone saying “You’re father was here today”, then the picture would switch over to Claire on the other end of the phone.

No, he’s going to let Henry go, and he wants to make it look like he got shot in the process. He made a deal with the others that if he helped get Henry out, they’d give him WAAAAAALT back. Of course The Others have no intention of honoring the deal.

Hmmm. Another singer highlighted who was in a plane crash. Patsy Cline… Walkin’ After Midnight. Anyone else notice that?

18-1+31=48, which IIRC was the original number of lostaways? It’s a stretch…
What caught my ear was the phrase “one left.” 1 is kind of an unusual number for a combination and for whatever reason the words jumped out at me. Michael was one who left…
Another stretch but then I’m not as up on all the theories as some folks.

Well, here’s something you can do at [www.thehansofoundation.org](http://www.thehansofoundation.org). Try to sign up for the newsletter. Follow the instructions, and then, when you’re prompted for a password, type in “breakingstrain”. After that, go to Joop’s corner, and send him the word “Persephone.”

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
AUGHRHGJKGCHZDJCGJZXDFHUCGKZWEKIHULERGDHK
My whole family was out tonight and TIVO CUT OFF AGAIN.
right after Ana Lucia told Michael the combination… I guess I thought he was going to go in and scream “where’s my boy?” a few times and then like cock the gun and LOST and that’s it.
WHAT HAPPENED???

Michael said he would take care of Henry, but he turned the gun on Ana Lucia and shot her through the stomach. Then Libby walked in and Michael had to shoot her. Then he opened the vault and told Henry he was ready and appeared to shoot himself in the arm and the screen went dark.

Oh, nothing much. They sat around, chatted about the weather, then started dinner.

Henry’s quote of “If I was one of these others, instead of leading them to my baloon I would lead them out into a trap” echos in my mind.
Except now it seems that Michael is the one leading them into a trap.

That’s what I thought - Kate gave him a funny look because she knows the dirty and scruffy look is fake. She found Bluebeard’s fake stuff in the Medical Hatch with Libby and Claire.
I think he’s going to make them think Henry shot them all and escaped, and will rally them to go find what’s-his-name.

Yes, Desmond’s flashback. That should be good

So where did you come up with the password? When I call the number this morning, I get nothering but a busy signal, whereas last night I was getting “all circuits are busy.”

I’m going to guess that Libby survived.
Partly, because of denial. Partly because she got shot THROUGH the blankets. It’s possible she had something sufficiently dense to stop or slow the bullets.
Of course, that would ruin Michael’s master plan to retrieve WAAAAAAAAAAALT!
But I hope she survives, because I love me some Watros.

Has no one mentioned the funniest line in the history of Lost?
“There’s Jin.”
That cracked me up. They couldn’t have picked a funnier landmark!
FYI- I think there is a chance that Jack’s Dad “Christian Sheppherd” is still alive. Quite possibly the leader of the Others.
The mother of his daughter did resemble Claire (I did a double take). I could see her being his daughter.
