That sounds like its regular running time; it always seems to go a couple minutes past the hour. Two or three minutes more hardly qualifies as an extension. ---

Has there been a [transcription of the jungle whispers](http://www.lostlinks.net/whispers.htm) from this episode yet? ---

That’s what they were doing last season (going until 10:02 or something). But I don’t think that’s been the case yet this season. So the “extended” episode is basically just like last season’s eps in run time, sounds like. ---

There’s a good thread at [lost-forum.com](http://lost-forum.com). You can find it [here](http://lost-forum.com/showthread.php?t=20251). There are some differing opinions, but they seem to be coming from educated sources. **Dewey Finn** , I didn’t find the password myself. Someone at the above forum pulled the site apart and found an ASCII sequence in some javascript that spelled out Copenhagen. ---
