LOST - Season 2 (No spoilers)

[jbdreamer]

Who set the fire? It wasn't Charlie, because his fingers did not have the tape on them. Some kind of big ring.

Charlie lost the tape on his fingers is season one when he & Claire were kidnapped. He left pieces of tape behind so they could track him. The only reason you noticed the tape last night was beacuse he was wearing them in his dreams. Charlie DID start the fire.

 

[bigmerle1966]

Me too. Didn't he get taken (last season) by the "monster" and then come back OK? Kind of like Eko and the black smoke.

The first time I think he had the same kind of encounter that Eko did, all we saw was Locke standing in a clearing looking up with this wonderous look on his face. He then told Walt that he had seen something beautiful. The second time it grabbed him but Jack "saved" him. If he saw pictures like Eko did, maybe it showed him in the wheelchair than being able to walk.

I am sorry if someone already brought this up in one of the many pages on this awesome thread, but did anyone else think Libby was totally lying to Hurley last night?

He said she looked familiar, she immediately trotted out the ****ies in the skimpy top and fed him some story about him stepping on her foot. WHATever. I love Hurley & think he is adorable, but if he had done that, Libby'd need a new foot. I wonder how he DOES know her, being as how she is a clinical psychologist (right?) and him a former resident of a mental ward.

I don't like Locke right now. He should have gotten rid of the heroin. He hit Charlie so hard he needed STITCHES. Is he trying to get in Claire's pants? Ewwww. That said, Charlie in his Unabomber sweatshirt sulking didn't win my affection either.

Totally. That is definitely going to come back to us later in the season. It was too odd to be just nothing.

It seemed a bit weird to me too. Kind of like "What,you don't remember me"?

How could he have stepped on her foot when she was sitting in the back of the plane? She said she saw him get on the plane and he was all sweaty and then he stepped on her foot. I don't think so.

I disagree with everyone who said this episode was just filler. I think it was pivitol - setting Locke up to be "Randall Flagg" and Eko to be "mother Abigail" (ala The Stand by Stephen King)

Okay Ladies, look who was named top hunk

I don't think he looks all that hunky in that picture. Couldn't they have found a better pic?

New to this thread, but I am a major "Lost" fan since the first episode and a major Stephen King fan, and I think you just might have something there!

Care to explain that one? I'm not familiar with that.

 

[Beth76]

Care to explain that one? I'm not familiar with that.

In "The Stand" by Stephen King, the world (or maybe it's just the US) is affected by some super flu. Most people die leaving a few survivors. Somehow, all the bad survivors flock to this guy Randall Flagg and the good survivors flock to this woman Mother Abigail.

I still don't think Locke is bad.

Thanks Beth!

Can we move this discussion to the spoiler thread.

Did anyone else catch it when Libby and Hurley were in the hatch doing laundry, before their conversations together started. Libby comes into the scene and looks at the washer and dryer and goes something like, "These things have got to be the newest things in here." Hurley shrugged it off saying something like, "who cares, they get the job done."

I find this very interesting..the smallest of clues or seeds planted to the viewers. People on this board called it back in the fall when the hatch was first revealed to us. Some people here thought the Washer/Dryer looked like those new front load models (though I know the concept of front load has been around a while, these looked like the new models out now). I find it interesting that Libby confirmed our suspicions that they were new...

it's not a spoiler - I know nothing - just speculating - which many already do in this threa. people said this episode felt like it was just filler & I disagreed. that's all. didn't spoil. not to my knowledge anyway...

 

[flminivanmama]

LOL I think that the producers are actually noding and winking at the fans...

I just watched my tape.

Just as Devil's advocate - what if Locke kept the statues because he is using the drugs and lacing Charlie's food or something? I don't really think so, but it did occur to me.

Libby definately will have a connection to Hurley - I thought that the minute she said her profession. I find myself grasping at weird ideas today. Could they have actually been patients together?

It's funny how this show makes you leave no one out of suspicion. I think that we haven't seen the end of the washer/dryer story. I think the w/d and the fact that we haven't see whatshisface (hatch guy) again lead me to believe there is some sort of periodic communication between the island and the real world.

So (total speculation) ...

I think Locke "knows what's coming". Kind of like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog's Day (Bill wakes up every morning on the same morning ... he remembers his previous Groundhog's Days, but to everyone else it's happening for the first time).

Locke just happens to "show up" at the right time and place to effect change. Off the top of my head ...

When he knocked out Sayid to stop the triangulation with the radios
When he arrived to save Jack from falling off of the cliff
He has several times met someone in the jungle
The cradle making thing with Claire
Finding Charlie's guitar

Also, his skills seem way overdeveloped (hunting, cradle making, tracking, lock-combo-resetting, etc.).

I don't think he knows everything, because I think he may have tried different things in his past experiencing of the island.

So thinking about Wednesday's episode ... Locke may have followed Charlie to his stash ... or may have already known where it was. And when he was talking to Charlie, he was very pointed about telling him to stay away from Claire, that trust takes a long time to build back up. Yes, he could have been talking about what already happened, but what if instead he was trying to keep Charlie from doing what he did.

Okay ... it doesn't work exactly, because you'd think Locke would know about Charlie taking the baby when the fire starts ... but maybe Locke know if he doesn't help with the fire, the fire gets out of control, so the most he can do is warn Claire.

Just speculatin'

So much about Locke has been ambiguous. He's helped many people at different times -- Jack at the cliff, Charlie kicking his habit, befriending Claire. But OTOH, he's .. well, I don't want to say "hurt" but been a detriment, I guess you could say -- he hasn't told anyone about his encounter with the security system/monster (but then neither has Eko; Charlie only knows because he was there); he knocked out Sayid when he was triangulating the radios; he kept the hatch a secret for a long time; he tried convincing Jack not to go after Michael the other week.

Locke knows something about the island -- or at least he thinks he knows something. And what he thinks he knows may or may not be right, but he's convinced he's right. I think Locke's being set up to be the guy who has always wanted to be the hero and has a chance to be, but ends up becoming a villain instead.

I had one of those VCR screw up moments this week. i was travelling, so I taped Lost. When I got home and sat down to watch it, I had an hour of Regis and Kelly instead! I tape am, not pm

So, no problem, says I, ABC has been showing the previous week's episode right before the new episode. I checked the TV Guide and realized that this week is a repeat, so no episode at 8:00. I got a gist out of what happened based on the discussion in this thread, but can someone point me to a synopsis? Thanks.
