Hurley’s pushing it, too. Grudgingly, I’ll grant…

She helped Claire escape from Ethan, and then lied about the scares she got as a result of that. She claims to have never seen “The Others”, but who did she think Ethan was?

The moment where Sun hears from her presumed fiance of his American girlfriend was just a lovely little piece of writing and especially acting: a small heartbreak, insignificant in the world, but crushing to the individual, and so beautifully well done. I found it very moving; stuff like this is the heart of the show for me. The mystery is fascinating, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the detail in the characters that keeps me engaged. And on that level, this hour worked well for me.

And Yunjin Kim is wonderful in such scenes, may I just say.

About all those look-alike legs that we saw belonging to the teddy-bear others…

This involves something from the last episode of first season so I’m not sure if it is spoiler-worthy or not, but since it wasn’t explictly pointed out in the episode (and comfirmation came from an interview with one of the actors) I’m spoiling it just to be safe.

Two of the people on the boat that took Walt were twins. This was confirmed by Josh Holloway (Sawyer) who said it was “freaky”. Abrams further confirmed that he deliberately cast twins in that part for a reason.

Oh yeah…

**Waaalt!**

Since English is my 2nd language this nit might be picked in error, but don’t you think Locke backwards would be Cahl? The e in Locke is silent, after all.

BTW, on the official site, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s character is listed as “Mr. Eko”.

So…either Anna Bitchina’s group didn’t get killed by a monster, or they know how to kill it. Otherwise, why go traipsing through the jungle, as others have said? And why not tell Sawyer, Mike and Jin what killed their people? Will they assume they’ve already seen/know what did it? If I know there’s a danger, I’m gonna want to know what to look for.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this WAAALLLLLTTTT!

Except that the “reason” is to make people think there really is a reason. 🙂

Excuse me now, I need to go look for **WAAAAALT**!

Took me a while to see the episode on tape so I’m late to the party. I’m surprised no one has mentioned that “animal” in the jungle. What the hell was it? It wasn’t a polar bear.

I thought it was a wild boar. You may remember that Locke was hunting boar last season for food, so they definitely exist on the island.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that it was a boar, too.

A boar that’s going to eat WAAAAALLLT!

Did anyone catch the conversation between Jin and Eko about wives? If I understood correctly:

Eko: What’s your wife’s name?  
Jin: Sun.  
Eko: Was she on the plane?  
Jin: Yes. You?  
Eko: Worse. (?)

If I heard Eko’s response correctly, he’s married and something happened to his wife. Maybe she was one of the ones taken by the Others?
