LOST - Season 2 (No spoilers)

[LaLa]

That's the song that Claire, in her S1 flashback episode, wanted the couple to sing to the baby. Creepy.

I am so addicted to lost.

You're right. I knew it sounded familiar. And I am right there with ya on number 2.

 

[AnaheimGirl]

Am I making this up or...is the song that was playing on the mobile the same song that Danielle (the French woman) had written on her map - that Shannon recognized and sang back in the first season?

I haven't watched it yet, but the one Shannon recognized and was singing went "La mer...something in French... La mer..." La mer means "the sea", so it doesn't sound like it would be one about a falling star.

Dang! The only episode I've ever missed is Claire's flashback from season 1. Now I'm going to go nuts watching tonight and wondering about that song!

Woo Hoo, going upstairs now to watch it!!

I think the one from last year was "Beyond the Sea".....somewhere beyond the sea, someone is waiting for me.....think Bobby Darin recorded it. And tonight's was "Catch a Falling Star" catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day.....for love may come and tap you on the shoulder, some starless night, and just in case you feel you want to hold her, you'll have a pocket full of starlight... Perry Como? Andy Williams? someone like that recorded it. (too lazy to google!)

 

[2BigKIdz]

Nope thats not it...I have run it through my tv speakers and also tried my surrround sound theater. Sound is still there...sometimes left speaker, sometimes right....yeah weird.

Have you tried watching Lost on an alternate channel? Maybe that ABC station's broadcast is not as clear. I know some of our stations have better picture than others, not sure about sound though. Worth a shot.

 

[Alice28]

What an amazing episode! I just can't wait for the next one!

 

[AnaheimGirl]

Darn VCR stopped taping before the show was over, and I thought I even had it set to go 5 or 10 extra minutes!

The last I saw was Locke with Henry Gale (after Eko had talked to him). Henry asked if it was true what Locke said about Hemingway, Locke said "you have good ears", then Henry said "you have thin walls", then nothing. What did I miss after that?

Thanks!

 

[disney4us2002]

Henry (that's the prisoner?) told Locke that he shouldn't let the doctor control him and Locke said they discuss things and work together but when he went out and shut the cell, he was pissed and knocked everything off the table. Henry apparently is playing mind games and it looks to be working on Locke.

So what was Ethan injecting into Claire? Something to make the baby's lungs develop quicker for delivery??

I totally missed that it was the French woman's daughter who helped Claire escape. How did that come out?

 

[nanalisa]

I haven't read all the posts so probably you all have discussed this.
Wasn't Henry Gale the name of Dorothy's uncle in the Wizard of Oz? I'm sure it was. Plus the thing about a hot air balloon. I think he's lying or else he's landed on some alternate "Oz". Too far fetched? Also, the hat and beard that Kate pulled out of the box in the locker looks like the the hat and beard on the guy who took Walt.

I thought it to be vaccine???

 

[Poohgirl]

Does anyone have any idea what happened to the room -and whole area -where Claire was being kept? When the women found it, it looked like something violent had happened there. Decor was almost all gone, fridge tipped over, light fixture damaged and dangling. Related to this, Zeke must have been in a hurry since he left behind his beard. Think this has anything to do with Desmond?

There wasn't even paint on the walls anymore. Do you think see imagined it in he drugged state?? How could they get the paint off?

And if the "others" that were in that medical hatch were original to the experiment wouldn't they be the least bit concerned about the "button" hatch and what is going on there if it could destroy the entire place?

 

[Poohgirl]

This is a theory that I had read about a while ago. After last night I thought about it because the hatch had the symbol of Aesculapius (the medical symbol) the serpent and the rod. So far this all fits.....interesting

The Apollo Connection?!?
Remember those chocolate candy bars branded Apollo??

well here's an interesting connection:

The Apollo Connection
http://www.starshine.com/frankn/astronomy/constellations.asp

Constellations of Apollo (6 stations / 6 constellations)

Cygnus (Swan) Station 3 where the main group is at

Cygnus the swan, was not always a swan. Greek legend tells a tragic story of Apollo’s son, Phaeton, who tried to drive Apollo’s chariot across the sky. Apollo warned him not to drive to close to the Earth lest he set it on fire. Phaeton lost control of the wild horses, and to spare the Earth a fiery destruction, Zeus threw a lightning bolt at the young boy, killing him instantly. The horses climbed higher into the sky, scorching a path that became the Milky Way. Phaeton fell into the river Eridanus. Cygnus dove repeatedly into the river to try to retrieve the body of his friend but failed. Zeus was so impressed with Cygnus’ devotion to his Phaeton that he turned him into a swan, enabling him to dive more easily. Cygnus was eventually rewarded for his gallantry by a prominent place in the summer skies within the cloudy path of the Milky Way.


Sagitta (Arrow): Station where the tail section is at

Sagitta has been identified with just about every famous arrow in mythology. It has been said to be the arrow that killed the eagle of Zeus, the arrow shot by Hercules at the Stymphalian Birds, and the one with which Apollo slew the Cyclops. It has also been said to represent Cupid’s arrow. Sagitta is the third smallest constellation.

Ophiuchus (serpent handler) Station Unknown

Ophiuchus is usually identified as Asclepius, a legendary physician known as the god of medicine. Asclepius was the son of Apollo and Coronis and was educated by Chiron (Centaurus ). It is said that Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician and the father of medicine was his 15th grandson. According to legend, of day Asclepius killed a snake, but to his surprise another snake arrived and revived its companion with herbs. As his medical skills grew, Asclepius even learned how to revive the dead. This knowledge worried Hades, god of the underworld, who feared that his domain would not receive any new souls. Hades persuaded his brother Zeus to kill Asclepius with a thunderbolt and to decree that all mortals must one day die. Zeus did strike Asclepius dead, but to honor his skills as a healer Zeus placed Asclepius in the sky with his serpents.


Orion (the hunter) Station Unknown

In Greco-Roman mythology, the character Orion was a famed hunter, but he was boastful and went so far as to claim that no beast could kill him. To teach Orion a lesson, the goddess Hera sent a tiny scorpion to sting him. Orion smashed the scorpion with his club but not before it had stung him fatally. Orion and the scorpion were placed in the heavens on opposite sides of the sky. When Scorpius rises, Orion sets, and vice versa; these enemies are never seen together in the sky.

Corvus (Raven) Station Unknown

According to myth, one day the god Apollo sent the raven Corvus for a cup of spring water. Near the spring Corvus spied a green fig, so he sat down and waited until it ripened. To explain his tardiness Corvus returned to Apollo with the cup (Crater ) of spring water, and a water serpent, Hydra, in his claws, claiming he had been attacked by the serpent and thus delayed. Apollo, seeing all, knew the truth and so banished all three to the sky. Corvus now sits within sight of the cup of water, but he can never drink, because it is guarded by the serpent.
According to another myth Apollo had an affair with Coronis, the daughter of a king. They had a son, Asclepius, the founder of medical science, who was immortalized in the sky as the constellation Ophiuchus. Apollo became suspicious that Coronis was unfaithful to him and sent his spy, Corvus, then of silver plumage, to observe. Indeed, Corvus reported back, Coronis was having an affair. In a rage, Apollo slew Coronis, and consigned Corvus to Hades and turned his feathers black.

Crater (Goblet) Station Unknown

Crater is the cup carried by Corvus the crow, to Apollo

Would anyone mind posting a re-cap , I have been down and out with a sinus infection and just couldn't make it last night to watch it - my first missed episode and sounds like it was a GREAT One!!! Thanks bunches .. Michelle

 

[MamaLema]

I don't have anything clever or witty to add, but I just wanted to say I loved last night's episode

Hope Sun isn't pregnant (for those who didn't see the previews for next week, they showed Sun being sick, and asking Sawyer?!? for a pregnancy test) The last thing anyone needs is the others to take another baby.

Was anyone else hoping to finally see Walt in the new hatch?

 

[bigmerle1966]

I totally missed the show last night. My VCR tape was at the end and I didn't realize it, stupid VCR automatically defaults to SP instead of SLP and I didn't get any of it. Hopefully my sister got it on Tivo.

The song Shannon sang was definatly Under the Sea, remember she said it was a part of the movie with the fish (Finding Nemo) that she watched with the French child she was a nanny to.

 

[PatriciaH]

I thought Ecko was going to slit his own throat. I yelled "Nooooooo...No No No" at the TV and my kids came running in and thought I had lost my mind.

Me tooooo....

 

[LaLa]

There wasn't even paint on the walls anymore. Do you think see imagined it in he drugged state?? How could they get the paint off?

I didn't think about this until you mentioned it, but you're right. The whole place just looked like it had been abandoned years before the girls found it.
I can't remember, but when Ethan leads Claire outside to get air, do they go out the same door that Claire, Kate and Danielle go in? The Dharma hatch door that is overgrown? Hmmmmm....


Aaron is supposed to be what, no more than a couple months old at the most, right? The faded parts on the wall in the nursery where the stencils or animals or whatever they were used to be....that doesn't seem like it could happen in just a few months, does it?

I have always felt that there was some sort of Time warp involved. How, I don't have the slightest clue, but it is getting very interesting....

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

I thought it looked like the nursery had just been stripped. All of the posters/stencils taken down leaving a faded spot on the walls.

When Kate found the makeup kit it made me think that "the others" had to have just recently abandoned the facility. Zeke threatened Jack and Kate just a few days/weeks? before this episode happened.

 

[Beth76]

The nursery was still painted blue. Just all the stuff was taken off the walls. Although, they did look a little dingey. I'm sure they all abandoned the place after Claire escaped. This would have been awhile ago. I think it was mentioned that they've been there for 2 months now. And I think Claire was taken around week 3 (guessing). So, Aaron is probably only about a month old. And yes, it should have only been a few days ago when Jack and Zeke spoke.

 

[Poohbear123]

Cause I know that place looked OLDER than 1.5 months I tell you that! Seems to me they have been on the Island longer...

 

[noodles]

I may have missed something along the way, but does anyone know why Echo is chopping down trees?
