Episode one was a bit of a let down, concentrating to much on Jacks back story rather than what was down the whole and the people on the boat. It was only really there to set up the idea that Desmond was a scientist so that the events of episode 2 made sense. They should have just cut out the whole episode and had a disclaimer at the start of this one stating this fact.
Anyway, after initially thinking that Desmond was one of the "others", I thought it was cool the way you realise he's actually one of the French birds sick companions. Thats when the cogs statred to turn again. So if he isnt one of the "others" then where are they, and what do they want and are they civilized or not etc etc. Basically it felt like a proper episode of lost again, ending with me wanting to see more and find out some answers. I was so pleased this happened after the fairly average season opener.
There was also a "next week on Lost" bit to the episode I watched. It didnt really seem to give anything away but looked fairly exciting and fast paced and Michelle Rodriguez appeared to be in the clip. Which means at least one new character. But who is she and why is she there?
Guess we'll find out next week.
So there's a guy who stays in the ground to avoid a disease, every so often he has to punch in those numbers into the computer. He's probably been doing it for quite awhile, I just realised by the post below that yes he must be one of the French womens companions. And she's been there 16 years. So did this "are you him" put him down there and get him to punch in those numbers.
Also what was the name of that guy who took the pregnant woman, was he one of the French womans companions or was he one of the Others.
Anyway I'm really looking forward to next weeks episode.

Oh interesting, so that means more people from the plane have survived, I wonder if anyone else did. Maybe they had her all this time, or she was out on her own or with others too.
The Others seem primative, but then what's with all the electronics from the 80ies and robot sharks?

"16 years ago"
That's 1989 (88 when it first aired).
There has always been the idea that there are others on the island, but its never been fully clear what is meant by the word "others". There was Jacks dad which turned out to be his imagination. The old black woman (Rose I think) who claimed that her husband was alive and probably on another part of the island. This seemed more of a hopefull wish at first, but any idea of others initially seemed like other survivors of the crash.
Then the discovery of Danielle, proving that other people where there, who went on to claim that there where "others" but she hadnt seen them, only heard them. Initially you think she might be a bit loopy after being alone for so long.
Along comes Ethan who kidnaps Claire and we realise that there could be other people on the island who were there before the crash and who arent on the French womans science trip. Not only are they there, they are potentialy dangerous. Or is could be, as Soyer said, Ethan lied about his name and thats why he isnt on the manifest. You dont hear from them again really making you think that Ethan may have been alone, but you're never fully sure, that is until the last episode when they turn up in a boat confirming that there are a group of scary people just like what the French woman described.
Within the first couple of episodes in season two, we've gone full circle. The discovery of another insane scinentist in the hatch, more "others" of the dangerous sense and (well next week anyway) at least one survivor from the back end of the plane. The survivors from teh tail end is something ive been expecting for a while now after carefully listening to the radio message Boon picked up in the small plane. I wasnt sure if i heard it correctly at the time, but now it seems like i may have done seen as there are more survuvors.
The hatch is still puzzling me a bit. I can understand that he's being quarentined and been placed there by the other scinentists etc. but what is the need to type in the numbers? and where did the numbers come from?
Oh and you mentioned a robotic shark. I dont think it was robotic seen as it could bleed. The mark on its underside was more of a tattoo or a branding put onto cattle. Im just curious as to why.
One thing we have been forgetting is that, security monster zilla that's going around the island and killed the pillot. Are the sharks security too, an island of robot monsters patroling the island.
I wonder if next week we will see if these "Others" are the ones that took the baby, who would now be 16 years old right?
The French woman was asking the asian guy where [blaNK] was, can anyone remember his name? We only knew Ethan by his fake name I wonder what his real name was.
I'd guess he's defending himself from the others, althought he's probably never seen them, just knows they are there. Agan im just speculating and there is probably a more complex and interesting explaination.
That Godzilla thing, it was some kind of black smoke in the end that pulled Locke down a hole. Ive no idea how to explain that. Is that under Desmonds controll or the Others controll. It would make sense to say deesmonds using your robots explaination (which i dont agree with personally). The French woman seemed scared when she heard a noise and said that if they (herself and siyeed) were lucky it would just be a bear. I think she was scared of the invisible bush monster so I doub Des controlls it.
The French kid is called Alex, and should be over 16 now. She's been alone for 16 years, she never said how long before then they took the baby. In the episode when she first appeard she doesnt mention the sex of the baby, just calls it Alex. Unless its mentioned in a later episode, this means the kid could be a girl or boy.
All speculation but the're my thought.
Locke saw the "Lostzilla" before, as you'll remember, we thought he would die like the pilot but somehow he got away.
I want to know where Desmond got all that food from. Even those chocolate bars didnt seem old and if they were I wouldnt want to eat them.

I disagree. It gave away far too much.
