[QUOTE=tanstaafl] It’s been confirmed from a second source and they were dead on accurate for the previous episode so I see no reason not to believe it is correct. I’m not sure what to make of the big spoiler as I can’t quite see where they can go from there. Since several people have asked I’m putting the link I have below. Note: I’m breaking the link so no one can click on it accidentally, you’ll have to copy the url and paste it into your browser. Then, on that page, you’ll have to click on a second link to actually read the spoiler. So, no one is getting spoiled by accident here. Copy, click and click at your own risk. These spoilers were for last weeks episode and for tonights. Final warning: this is a complete, detailed spoiler.

[QUOTE=John Mace] I don’t expect any big reveals in this episode, but there will be a cliff hanger which (according to the previews) has our Lostaways captured by The Others (again). [/quote] Blah, thanks. I try to avoid spoilers like that. People seem to see a big difference between the aired previews, and spoiler sites, but I don’t. The aired previews are created by the marketing team, not the writers of the show, and so they have no obligation or desire to maintain the integrity of the story. Aside from being actually worse than spoiler sites, in that they actually lie often, they’re pretty similar. So I skip the aired previews. Problem is - on these threads - people will box their spoiler site spoilers. That way I have the choice of whether or not I want to read them - in my case, I don’t. But when they don’t spoil box the previews, even though they’re in the same way spoilers - I no longer have the option to avoid spoilers individually. My only option is to read the thread or be spoiled. That’s why I, and I know some others, would appreciate treating the previews the same way we treat spoilers - I’m not asking that they not be posted, just that they be boxed so that people can avoid them if they want to. ---

Edit: Sorry if I sound anal, I just think the story experience is best told by the storyteller - not a spoiler site, and not some marketting people mucking with the story. To be exposed to that sort of information lessens the experience, and I don’t want to have to start trying to avoid the threads on these boards to do that. Especially since I (and the others who agree with me) aren’t asking anyone to curtail any sort of discussion - just properly mark it. ---

That’s odd. **tanstaafl** went to the trouble of making the spoiler link unclickable, but when it’s quoted it becomes a clickable link. Why is this? ---

This is an add-on to my previous spoiler link; the one that confirms the first source and has some _very_ interesting additional details. Depending on what these mean, I think they actually open some more interesting interpretations. Can’t wait for the actual show tonight to see how these actually play out! Same spoilage warnings as before apply here.

Just shows how different people are. Some try to avoid seeing the “Next week on…” promos, others hunt down and read leaked spoilage. ---

[QUOTE=Monstre] Bearded drunkard Jack? Taking after his father, falling into alcoholism? Suicide attempt Jack? So what was the newspaper article – wedding announcement for ex-wife Sarah or something? [/QUOTE] Is it me, or does it feel like that was _after_ instead of before Jack was on the island? He looked like he was waiting for the plane to crash…again? Maybe someone from the island died? Jack’s life went nuts after he was rescued? It’s the beard, too. They almost always have less facial hair in the flashbacks. He has more. ? ---

Bernard: “I am a dentist. I am not Rambo.” heh So why is Charlie giving away information – like how Juliet told them. They are just going to warn Ben. Well, the Underwater Chicks are definitely “Others”. Ben: “I lied…” heh. And that still surprises all of his Otherly Henchmen. Damn, Jin missed his mark. And Sayid almost got the leader. You’d think they’d just need to fight it out anyways – no way the Others will let them live after how they sprang that trap. ---

[QUOTE=Dante] o my god. the plan failed and they were captured. i can hardly believe it. [/QUOTE] Kind of a tough plan to actually implement – to blow them all up, it requires all of the Other groups to enter the three different tents at the same time. Flashback Jack’s beard is assymetrical.
