p.s. Would it be worth the trouble to retitle all of the episode threads in the official _ **Lost** _ style? e.g. _ **Lost 1.9, "Solitary"** _

Not to toot my own horn too much, but:

I liked the OP asking, innocently, if anyone else is going to watch it. Ya think??

> Hindsight being 20/20, the “one bag” theory makes perfect sense, and Charlie becomes a bit less sympathetic - going on the trek solely to retrieve his junk. I just didn’t think about it before - did everyone else already know this? :smack:

Pretty much. 😉

I don’t know about everybody else, but I figured that was the clear reason why Charlie accompanied Jack and Kate on their search for the front section – to retrieve his only bag of heroin.

Actually, it would be kind of interesting to see who was posting when Lost first started and who posted in the finale.

I didn’t start watching it for a few weeks into it (I had taped the pilot, but my wife erased it before I got a chance to watch it. I decided not to bother but caught one of the reruns on a Saturday and got hooked).

So I didn’t start posting for several weeks. Who posted at the start and is still posting now?

Ditto.

Well, to be fair, Claire _shouldn’t_ have been on the plane–she didn’t have her doctor’s permission. 🙂

I was kind of surprised when I opened the thread; I didn’t remember it, then saw my post and thought, “Zombies! Zombies ate Rose!”
