Mouseover spoiler space.
Previously on LOST: Un-Locke took Sawyer to the cave with everyone’s name and number written on the wall. Alterna-Locke decided that he didn’t need to see Jack again (if only I could do the same 😉 ). Dead-Locke was still dead. And Bizzaro-Locke am very happy. Tune in tonight for Crazy-Claire, Mirror-Universe Jin and Earth 616 Hurley. Namaste.
Episode Summary for tonight:
Hurley tries to persuade Jack to go with him on an unspecified mission; Jin has an encounter with an old friend.

[Sledgeweb’s Lost… Stuff](http://lost.cubit.net/): Pretty good site, but again beware of spoilers. I use it mainly for the Timeline section, which is an incredibly detailed breakdown of “how long since…?” for almost anything you can think of (pre- and post-plane crash).
[Door Map from Episode 2.17](http://www.thetailsection.com/uploaded_images/cleanwall-707484.jpg). A nicely cleaned up version of the diagram Locke saw while pinned under the lockdown doors. No spoilers.
[Lostpedia](http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page): The wikipedia of Lost information. Quite a comprehensive site, but beware of spoilers!
[ThEmIsFiTiShErE](http://themisfitishere.blogspot.com/): The Misfit offers his whacky commentary on “Lost”. Is he a nut-case or a clever insider? Careful, though, possible spoilers.

As the final season plays out, I want to take the opportunity (before I forget) to thank **Trion** for (and before him, **John Mace** ) for organizing the Lost threads. Such great resources always readily available. I always check the Dope a few times on “game day” to see when the thread goes up. Always a slight buzz to open it and bookmark it for the week’s discussion. When the Dope went subscription for a cup of coffee, the Lost threads were my justification for spending the cash.
Thank you, sirs!

Thanks for the thanks! I’m just glad I have enough time now to participate in the threads even if I don’t have time to start them.

On the official Lost Podcast, Damon & Carlton said we’d get one more insight into the numbers… Although, I’m not sure if they meant tonight or another episode.

Well, let’s see… This is episode 5, so I’d probably expect to see it in episode 8, 15 or 16. 🙂

I’m getting tired of this alternate reality stuff. The best way to explain the mysteries of the past seasons was to add another dimension!
I’m either going to be very depressed or very annoyed at the end of this season.

Cool – Hurley getting pretty insightful with Adam & Eve. “What if we traveled to dinosaur times, then died and were buried here? What if these are us?”
David plays Chopin’s “Fantasie Impromptu”? I played that, in college…
Is David playing at a recital right now?
David has pics of him and his dad up in his room.

A big lighthouse on the island – I was just going to say what Jack just said – why have they never seen it before? heh. At least he asked. Unusual for him.
Claire does her Gimli impersonation: “And you have MY axe!!”

I think this might be the first Jack-centered episode since the first season where I felt sympathetic to Jack.
