So I think the losties that set off the H bomb are in the present (or whatever is the present date in Lost) and the losties that landed at LAX are now in past. What is interesting is the 2004 timeline (LAX landing). Kate trying to break free, Charlie getting caught, Hurley being rich, etc. Why should care about that? Its really interesting.

Yeah, glad to see I was right about a few things here and there, mainly about Locke being the Smoke Monster. But we still don't know who is good and evil - Jacob or the man in black, or if either of them are. I'm sure they must have some purpose behind the alternate reality other than to f*** with us - perhaps their storylines loop round and they end up getting to know eachother anyway, or even get to the Island.

I think the main questions from these episodes are:

- What is Locke going to do with/to Richard?
- How and why was Desmond on the plane and where did he go?
- Where is the smoke monster's home and why does he want to go back there?

I did watch the premiere and WTF I posted in here just before it started! Where's my post?? MUTLEY!!!!!!!!

So yeah. Well what happened was that Faraday's theory worked and in 2004, the Oceanic Flight 815 does not crash on the island. It lands at LAX. But the original losties who went back in time look like they're stuck on the island for good. Fake Locke is the monster and I called it long time ago

I remember you calling it.

Also I know that the new flashbacks are what would have happened had they not crashed which is what I meant.
Them running parallel is kind of reminding me of Neal Stephenson's Anathem. In it a one group of scientific monks develop a way to see alternate realities based on diverging decisions (and use it to get peace with a reality hopping spaceship).
I'm thinking these will show us whether their lives would be better or worse without the island.

When the losties on the island die, they go to the reality where the plane never crashed.

Spoiler

When Juliet is dying, she starts speaking nonsense, something about coffee. Then she tells Sawyer that it worked.

Would make sense.

They were good episodes, I am looking forward to episode 3.

[Berrie]

I'm really loving it so far.
I can't believe there's only twelve episodes left. It feels like they still have a lot to tie up.

After watching the sixth episode:

Spoiler

I'm really starting to think that Smoke-Locke getting of the island is either terrible news for those on it, outside of it or both. Claire seems to have gone completely nuts and Sayid seems to have gone psycho. And both have a weird, almost sadistic, look in their eyes. You really have to wonder what Jacob is up to, though. There's only a few people left on his side.

I actually enjoyed parts of this weeks episode, but Sawyer is one of my favorite characters.

Spoiler

Very surprised to find out he's a cop in the flash-sideways.

However, I'm very excited for next weeks episode!

[swan_song1977]

oh, i totally forgot. the scene

Spoiler

with locke and the kids

gave me the chills.

Awesome episode. I was glad to see that 3/4 of the episode was given to Richard and his flashback. Plus we saw a hell of a lot more of Jacob and the Man in Black.

Seems the story's taking more of a good vs. evil route, with the Island being a gateway to hell. Not sure whether this is good or bad, but it does confirm that the MIB is probably from hell. Are Jacob and the MIB angels? Or is that too religious...

[neva-]

Yeah great episode, they answered most of the big questions.

I'm glad richard got his flashbacks as he's one of the most interesting characters on the island.

i'd say demigods.

[Milhouse]

The rumors were/are for a long time that MIB/smokee/John is actually Esau, jacobs brothers.
I haven't seen the new episode yet, so i better shush

[Crusty Magic]

Jacob sounds like he's trying to prove a point without consideration to expense of lives.

Hmm...

Can't really say that that's a 'good' guy thing to do.
