I know that this is a little early to start a thread on Wednesday’s episode, but I just came back from an exclusive screening of the episode followed by a Q&A session with Carlton Cuse (writer/executive producer). I won’t reveal anything or even give hints (unless someone comes along and asks for them, of course) but I will say that this episode has some seriously revelatory information and if you weren’t planning on watching, you should really reconsider. Also, one non-spoiler hint Carlton dropped during the Q&A session is that there’s a hidden anagram somewhere in the episode that has huge implications for the rest of the season. Of course, no one at the screening spotted it the first time through. ---

Holy crap, this almost got run off of the page! Maybe people are just afraid of spoilers - like me. Well, now I have hope for this show. It better be good! Because I know where you post! 😉 ---

Well, if you’re going to open this thread to spoilers, I’ll go ahead and start my usual non-spoiler thread tomorrow with links to the other episodes and useful web sites. Most people don’t want the episode spoiled. ---

The capsule review in \*Entertainment Weekly \* alluded to much the same as you, **chambraigne** – a good, meaty progression, bunch of questions answered, etc. A return to the old stuff, perhaps? I wasn’t quite as exasperated with the first half of Season 3 as many seemed to be. . . but I fervently hope tommorrow night’s episode gets me rabid for that universe again. That’s all that’s been missing for me in 3.0. The slavering, oh-my-jeebus-what-could-that-mean sense of awe. ---

Oh God, to ask for spoilers, or not to ask? You’re tearing my mind in half! -FrL- ---

I just had an inspiration! Maybe the “Lost” monster is a cloud of nanotech particles. ---

**Rusalka** , funny you should say that. One of the questions asked of Carlton last night was precisely that. All he would say, of course, is that they are not nanotech particles. I think it’s required for someone to ask him that question at every Q&A session he does. **Frylock** , I’ll go ahead and add three general hints. They aren’t really spoilers at all–I’ve left them very general. They’ll hopefully just whet your appetite without giving anything away. - We don’t see anyone from the beach. This episode still focuses on Kate, Jack, Sawyer, and the Others. - The flashbacks themselves provide important new information that will likely change how you think about the whole situation and its relation to the outside world. - We find out that two characters are related in a surprising way. ---

Hey **chambraigne** can you go over to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=407398) (the “official” thread of the latest episode) and give us some more info? Particularly on the anagram…
