Tell me Monstre, were you up until 1 AM watching the season 1 DVD?
[QUOTE]
I know I have been! 
I haven’t watched all the extras yet, but I did see the 2 flashback scenes that were cut from the finale.
The first one is Claire:
She’s having coffee in the airport and meets the pilot. She ends up telling him her story about the psychic. He then tells her a story about his mother, who went to a tarot card reader. The reading said that she’d marry a tall man whose name starts with R, so she broke up with her short boyfriend Bernard and started waiting for this R. Bernard ended up selling his business for $39 million, while she’s still waiting for R. He finishes the story with “psychics are just magicians who aren’t good enough to play Vegas.”
The second one is Sayid:
It starts with Sayid on the beach; he sees Sawyer using a necktie to tie up something on the raft. Then in flashback, Sayid’s picking out a tie in a shop in the airport. He has some discussion with the clerk about needing a tie for when he meets Nadia, and the clerk helps him to choose the tie. As he goes to pay for it, the airport police come in and ask if he left his bag unattended. He says that he asked someone to watch it, and the cops lead him away.
Yeah. They better have damn good explaination for why it wasn’t noticed before. I was pretty close to jumping ship at the end of last season. If they fumble this then this season is going to be a non-starter for me.
Maybe (just blind speculation here…)
Maybe the letters were on the inside. Maybe the inside was supposed to be a safe area, and the label indicates the outside (i.e. the island proper) as “quarantine”!
Well, it IS on Wednesdays.
And Wednesday is opposite day…
Whoo hoo! I finally got to see the season finale!
(refresher: I was out of town. primary VCR broke, and I messed up and taped the wrong channel with unfamiliar VCR. Was still out of town for the rebroadcast that saturday)
Now to read the appropraite thread…

I watched the DVD commentaries on some of the episodes today, and there was a little tidbit mentioned in Walkabout (Locke’s first flashback) that I thought was interesting. I don’t think it’s really a spoiler but I’ll box it to be extra safe:
In the flashback scene where Locke is on the phone with Helen, there’s this electric box by his bed that looks like some EKG or oscilloscope thing. The commentary says that it’s electrically stimulating his leg muscles, and that this is at least part of the reason he’s got the strength to stand right after the crash. I can recall that the box and the fact that Locke’s muscles weren’t atrophied were brought up as questions by people talking about the episode, so it’s interesting that the writers had this in their heads.
A guy in my office collected money yesterday and went out to buy Mega Millions tickets for everybody. Today, he’s handing out photocopies of the tickets. First ticket I looked at … started with 08 15.
I’m still laughing.
I thought the premier was on last night and TiVoed it. Then I realized it was year’s finale, but I watched long enough for Arnst to blow himself up. Boom!
Dude, you got some Arzt on ya.
One more week!
twitches with excitement

Giggedy…
I watched the first three eps on DVD last night with a guy who’d never seen it before.
Reaction: “Dude, that was awesome.” Reelin’ in another fan, folks.
Question: Do you suppose the peculiar behavior of Vincent (the honey labrador) during the two-hour opener is meaningful? We know by the end of the season that Walt, whose dog Vincent is, plays a significant role in the overall story, though what, exactly, we don’t yet understand. And it’s Locke who fashions the whistle and summons Vincent back to Walt’s side, after Vincent is seen a couple of times apparently keeping an eye on Jack, hanging back in the bushes, sitting still, and watching in an oddly un-dog-like fashion. Indeed, this is just about the very first thing that happens in the show.
I’m probably reading too much into it, but wouldn’t it be fun if the dog turns out to be important later, and we realize later that it was set up at the very beginning?
If I don’t spoiler this, someone will get mad, even though I think it’s well past it’s use-by date …
[spoiler]I had read toward the end of last season that the finale would include a Vincent flashback, which gave a little bit of what went on inside the cargo area of the plane. The only other thing I can think of that was in the cargo area was Jack’s father, but that’s almost certainly unimportant right now. (“Right now” being the operative words in that sentence.)
But I think if the writers were planning to show Vincent’s point of view on anything, then his early behavior probably is pretty important.
Of course, this could just be another of those “abandoned plotline” things, like Boone being on antipsychotics and then running out–I think that would have been fun to watch, though.[/spoiler]
Complete speculation follows regarding Vincent and Walt:
If, as some people speculate, Walt can create Polar Bears - - maybe that ain’t Vincent. The original Vincent anyway.
Hey guys – just a note. You don’t need to put spoiler boxes on speculations.
Just don’t do any advance knowledge stuff about season 2 without spoiler boxes (until they air, of course). If you know something, shut up! If you’re guessing, have at it.
