I wonder how dogan being alive/dead effects smokey being able to enter the temple. That would seem to indicated that he has some sort of mystic power (probably imbued by jacob if true).

the ballad of sayid!

good sayid gets drowned in the pool and evil sayid comes out... does that mean there will be an evil dogen too? looking forward to that!

I feel like they are wasting valuable question answering time by showing so much of the flash sideways. Corggirl has to be onto something with that theory. It's the only way that much flash sideways storyline even makes sense.

I woke up Tuesday knowing that later that evening that I was going to watch Lost. I went to work still looking forward to watching Lost. I was at work and I went to a 1:00 meeting (scheduled for Wednesday) and wondered why I was the only person there. After a few minutes, I realized it was actually Tuesday.

Has Lost moving to Tuesday night caused anyone else to experience mind time travel?

I haven't seen that one.

Is there anything else on network commercial television worth watching? The car commercials showing folks kicking up the dust in pure natural environments is enough to make me want to kick the effing television in the face..

I'm barely able to be excited about lost anymore.

Between the library and public television, there is no way i'll ever need a dvr..

From Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly:

His [Fake Locke] m.o. is now clear: What if I told you could have your heart's desire? It's hard not to hear Fake Locke's enticements and not wonder if what he's offering the castaways is a psychic ticket to Sidewaysville, that if they do what he asks he'll transfer their minds/souls into the bodies of their parallel world doppelgangers.

Someone online also said they thought the previous lives the Losties led were if they followed their destinies, Sideways World is if they followed free will.

I like what me and Doc Jensen got going.

okay. but can you do it while your penis isn't erect, while tearing up the countryside in your new sport tourer with a cheeseburger in your greedy mitts while your period isn't happening anymore and something you have to see is on next?

okay, some things that bother me:

1. for hundreds (thousands?) of years Jacob has been searching for the right "candidate" to replace him, but if he never brought anybody to the island, there would have never been anyone there to kill him.

2. It took: the black rock, the science expedition, dharma, the purge, the crash, jughead, etc. etc. for Flocke to convince somebody to kill Jacob. In two minutes he convinces Sayid to kill two people and convince half of the temple people that they need to become his followers.

i guess my unstated point was a general unhappiness about the direction the show has decided to go. i'm having a hard time buying (or caring?) that this is what the events in the past seasons has all been leading up to.

i'm in the camp of folks who don't really care too much for the whole Jacob vs. Flocke story. In terms of wanting "answers," that kind of "big picture"/spiritual stuff doesn't interest me as much as the sci-fi stuff and little details we used to get in seasons past.

we'll see what happens. i'm just having a hard time feeling any connection to the characters and giving a crap what happens to anyone this season.

yeah, see to me that just points out another problem. there's the ash circle around the cabin, which we know flocke can't penetrate... which means that someone else must've been in the cabin. smoke monster was all over the island... it couldn't have been trapped. the ash must've been keeping him out of the cabin.
