[ScottNorwood]

The guy who took the blood from Michael said, "See you in the funny pages." Why does that sound familiar to me? Did someone else on the show say this before?

Was it me or did that seem like a weird way to take blood?

Almost impossible to get blood by just blindly stabbing the needle like that.

Maybe the supernatural powers of the island allow them to get blood that way. I wonder when they'll explain how that works.

 

[BGP]

Also, what do Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley have in common?   WHY THEM?

And why not add Locke to the list? Isn't that who Henry said he originally came for when Locke questioned him about not escaping when he had the chance? Unless of course that was just one of Henry's many lies...

Interesting. Maybe they need Henry to get Locke for some reason or believe he will get Locke without Michael's help?

Yah that's one the things no-one really discussed here. Locke is portrayed as having great "faith" in the island. He didn't think the monster would harm hm. He believed in pushing the button. When Henry Gayle thought he had made it "in" with the losties because he did not runaway when he had the chance when Locke was locked down by the blast door, he sought to reinforce Locke's faith. He told Locke that he did enter the code and press execute. After Henry was exposed, he told Locke that he never entered the code. When Locke later showed frustration at being told the button did nothing, Henry privately smiled to himself.

Henry played all kinds of mind games with Locke. Apparently he sought to drive a wedge between him and everyone else. The Others have successfully turned Michael against the losties. The Others tried to separate Claire from her baby (literally).

Here is what is ticking me off that no one is talking about.

Why in the hell did Eko send Lockes map through the vacuum tube to the others?

There aren't really that many possibilities

1. He is a other and sent them the pearl location so they could use the tv to watch the losties on closed circuit tv(not likely)

2. He is setting a trap for the others when they come to the pearl(???)

3. He is a dipwad with a fascination of vacuum tubes and can't help but send info to unknown parties like a moth to a flame.

4. Something I haven't considered?

I thought Locke sent it?

Yah, Locke put his hand-drawn map in the tube and sent it.

Same thing but it applies to Locke then why would he do that?

I don't know. Maybe the reason the scene was in there was because in a future episode we will see the map again (or the other end of that tube - confirmed in that the map is in it)

agreeance.

How are people still trying to figure out why Michael killed Ana?  Do you need every detail spelled out to you like a 5 year old?  He shot her because he saw the only opportunity to get half of his mission accomplished.  He has no relationship with her, he has been tied and bound to a stump for a week, he is losing his mind, and he wants to get Walt back.  I'm sure the fact that she is a b**** made it a little easier, but it was clear at the time and still clear now, he didn't want to do it, he was scared, and it was simply a means to his desired end.  Playing the only hand that he thinks will safely get his son back....even if he is BATSHAT CRAZY for thinking the Others will honor their promise.

Now seriously.....why are the monitor's in the Pearl Hatch not plasma flat panels?  That's stupid.

I agree that Michael felt he had to kill Anna. Before it didn't make sense to me, but until last night we didn't know that the Others wanted Henry and 4 survivors. Getting the 4 survivors would have been impossible if he just locked Anna up and grabbed Henry. At that point Michael = Henry and they can't trust him at all.

The only other out Michael had was to come clean and try and set a trap like they did for him. Whether or not Walt has turned, the Others set Michael up with the info on the computer because they were waiting for him right on the N path he was taking.

Did Michael have to do this immediately or could he have waited to be alone in the hatch and done it? Did Ms. Clue give him some kind of time line? He seems like he is in an awful big hurry.

I don't think Michael is thinking timelines and I don't remember her saying when to be back by, but it seemed implied to be ASAP.I think he just jumped at his first opportunity and didn't really analyze out all the details. He wasn't thinking rationally enough to think it through and find the best time or volunteer to guard Henry.

agreeance.

Maybe he was just testing to see if it still worked and the map won't have any relevance. Locke sure didn't need it anymore since he knows exactly where the pearl hatch is, so to him it was scrap paper.

 

[GStrot]

Isnt the consensus that it is/was Desmond's boat?  Isnt the finale Desmond's flashback?

I think it is Desmond's round-the-world sailboat as well. Moreover, here's a few random thoughts I had after watching "3 Minutes":1. Desmond is on the sailboat Sun sees at the funeral. After he ran off, he prepped it and was going to sail away from the island but he has now succumbed to the "sickness" - that's why it appears the boat is just drifting in. Remember, he had been injecting himself with the vaccine and I don't believe he took any when he ran out (am I remembering this correctly?). Perhaps once you are on the vaccine and then go off of it, you are far more vulnerable than if you've never been on it. ? Maybe. BTW, I think this will be a Desmond flashback as he's on his deathbed with the sickness (50/50 as to whether he recovers to be part of Season 3. I'm leaning slightly toward no recovery as I think the flashback will provide all the Desmond info we'll need to move forward.) But if that's the case...

2. What happens to Aaron when that limited supply of vaccine Charlie provided runs out? Or is it any good now to begin with? Remember, everything Charlie does, nothing seems to turn out right. It would be so like this show to have him perform an act of kindness that ends up causing major problems (particularly since Claire seems to be warming to him again).

3. Back to the boat. Recall Sayid saying that they needed to think of an advantage against the others as Michael leads them into the trap. Might be a little farfetched to think that they can sneak up on them from the sea in a sailboat, but maybe if they do it at night?

I agree, but we may be getting into the realm of "it's just a TV show." You don't want to be seen as straddling the fence on such issues, so you might want to hold off judgement for now, Mr. Skeptic.

Any chance this list of 4 that the Others gave Michael is just a ruse of some sort?

I mean, we have it from fake Henry that Walt is too valuable to give up.

So, maybe the others make this second demand with the intention of Michael being unable to fufill it? Maybe they felt these 4 people would be a tough group for him to convince to go with him? That way they get fake Henry back with them, but have to give up nothing since Michael will be unable to bring those 4 to them?

I mean, they had Sawyer, Jack, and Kate (with Locke) surrounded and disarmed in a previous episode. If they really wanted them, they would've taken them then.

I am starting to think the entire intention of that list was simple to sew dissention amongst the losties. And, from the looks of things, that plan is working out well.

Definitely a chance, although if Henry was lying all the time, maybe he was just blowing smoke about never getting Walt back. Maybe Henry's chore wasn't done yet (the stuff he went through with Locke), but he didn't want them to trade him yet.How about this? Maybe Henry knew that the Others had Michael and the only reason they kept Michael that long was to make sure Henry was done doing whatever he needed to do (he could have used the computer to let them know he was done). Once Henry was done, they let Michael go to get Henry back.

Sounded like they were drugging him, not taking blood.See you in the funny pages means they were sending him into La La Land.

What's interesting to me is who is on the List: Jack, Sawyer, Kate & Hurley? Hurley is the heart and soul of the Losties but not a leader. Who is missing though? Sayid, Eko and Locke. Any of these guys has shown more "leadership" than Hurley. So it seems to me, with the current List, that it's not trying to take down the Lostie's core. Henry's escape could have happened during the emergency lockdown but didn't for whatever reason. Anyone picking up on the perceived emphasis on the guns in the last epi? Michael reacted weirdly to the guns, I thought. The guns taken during the Kate exchange flashback also seemed unusually emphasized. Perhaps the Others are trying to arm themselves? They would have no real need for the cache of guns prior to this after all. Moreover, they would have been unable to access the guns with Desmond keeping watch. I'm fairly convinced that Henry needed to both observe the Losties as well as trigger something (he could have left, after all.).

Good point about already having 3 of them. Plus they sent Henry to get Locke when they already had him as well. Maybe the others are (were) not that well armed and didn't want to get in a gun fight with the losties.

I guess. But murder seems like a pretty drastic step if he doesn't have a deadline (no pun intended).

Hurley did seem like a weird addition to the list. But, he has the most history with the numbers.

 

[saintfool]

I guess. But murder seems like a pretty drastic step if he doesn't have a deadline (no pun intended).

Drastic and pretty hastily decided. There were only two instructions: free Henry and get the 4. He could have easily developed a plan to accomplish #1 that didn't draw suspicion to himself and resort to killing anyone. #2 he has done, with only Hurley needing to play on Henry's role in Libby's death.He could have easily confided in the group the situation, allowing them an opportunity to formulate a reponse/plan.

About the timeline for Michael.

They have his son. For Michael, that is motivation enough to finish his mission as fast as possible.

 

[MPhilly03]

Not sure if this has been covered but did anyone else think that the Others (aka Ms Clue and friends) really live in much nicer conditions? Is it possible that most of what we saw was just for show?

Some of these same others seemed to have access to medical hatch (when they were after Claire's baby) which would seem to be a nicer place to live then out in the open.

Plus this would seem to tie in with Walt stating that they "are just pretending".

yes, i think it is totally for show. this is part of the "trap" to lure the 4 to the camp. maybe michael does think that they could overpower the camp if they renegged on their promise to release walt?

A couple of posts referred to the list of names Michael was given.

First he recognized every name except Sawyer's.

Second why do the "others" use everyone's full real name. If it were just mind reading and such I would expect them to use nicknames. In the finale we are supposed to learn why flight 815 crashed. Is it possible that a bomb was set off to bring the plane down on the island? Maybe the stewardess that the others grabbed was in on it. Seems like a pretty risky way to get specific people to that island though.

How about this? Maybe Henry knew that the Others had Michael and the only reason they kept Michael that long was to make sure Henry was done doing whatever he needed to do (he could have used the computer to let them know he was done). Once Henry was done, they let Michael go to get Henry back.

Great theory.Does anyone recall how long Michael was in the others' camp? Certainly less than 13 days since it took some time to get there. I think I recall it being 8 days or so.

How long after Michael left (in Hunting Party) did Henry show up in the net?

Is there a site with a timeline of known events?

Kill me. I've seen where you live. I know how to get here. You have been asking me asking me questions I don't know the answer to for a week. I don't even think my son is alive.

ETA: Michael left during Hunting Party and then Henry showed up three episodes later. How long that took? And one more Edit: SledgeWeb's Timeline says that Michael left on day 51 and Henry showed up day 56.

Any chance this list of 4 that the Others gave Michael is just a ruse of some sort?

I mean, we have it from fake Henry that Walt is too valuable to give up.

So, maybe the others make this second demand with the intention of Michael being unable to fufill it? Maybe they felt these 4 people would be a tough group for him to convince to go with him? That way they get fake Henry back with them, but have to give up nothing since Michael will be unable to bring those 4 to them?

I mean, they had Sawyer, Jack, and Kate (with Locke) surrounded and disarmed in a previous episode. If they really wanted them, they would've taken them then.

I am starting to think the entire intention of that list was simple to sew dissention amongst the losties. And, from the looks of things, that plan is working out well.

What's interesting to me is who is on the List: Jack, Sawyer, Kate & Hurley? Hurley is the heart and soul of the Losties but not a leader. Who is missing though? Sayid, Eko and Locke. Any of these guys has shown more "leadership" than Hurley. So it seems to me, with the current List, that it's not trying to take down the Lostie's core.

I'm fairly convinced that Henry needed to both observe the Losties as well as trigger something (he could have left, after all.).

Was Michael captured before Henry? If so, it makes me wonder if the Others' plan was to purposely get Henry captured knowing that they could get Michael to break him out.

Actually, Michael asked who "whatever Sawyer's real name is" was and Zeke said something along the lines of "You know him as Sawyer."

Any chance they're taking a blood sample from Michael to make sure he's Walt's father thinking he may be able to father more "special" children for them in the future? Maybe they want Walt to have some brothers and sisters?

Apparently they spell that lady's name "Miss Klugh". Just sayin'.

Is there anything gayer than the term "Losties"?

The name "Shuke"?

I know this much, the term "Shukies" is pretty effing gay.

The guy who took the blood from Michael said, "See you in the funny pages." Why does that sound familiar to me? Did someone else on the show say this before?

Was it me or did that seem like a weird way to take blood?

Almost impossible to get blood by just blindly stabbing the needle like that.

I agree, but we may be getting into the realm of "it's just a TV show." You don't want to be seen as straddling the fence on such issues, so you might want to hold off judgement for now, Mr. Skeptic.

Sounded like they were drugging him, not taking blood.See you in the funny pages means they were sending him into La La Land.

Did Ethan say "See you in the funny pages." to Claire when he kidnapped her and had her in that examining room? She was obviously drugged.

If that's the case, then why did Miss Cleo bother to ask Michael?

A couple of posts referred to the list of names Michael was given.

First he recognized every name except Sawyer's. 

Second why do the "others" use everyone's full real name.  If it were just mind reading and such I would expect them to use nicknames.  In the finale we are supposed to learn why flight 815 crashed.  Is it possible that a bomb was set off to bring the plane down on the island?  Maybe the stewardess that the others grabbed was in on it.  Seems like a pretty risky way to get specific people to that island though.

ethan might have provided them with the flight's passenger list while he was among them.

sure. but why use their full name especially if they know that Michael would not recognize Sawyer's full name? They are trying to tell Michael that they know more than he does and that they know a lot about the LOSTIES.

why would they assume he doesn't know sawyer's full name? he recognized hurley's name after all. this doesn't point to their superiority but instead brings up he question of how they acquired the information and for what purpose.

they asked Michael if he recognized Sawyer's full name. this indicates to me that they figured he would not recognize it.

Actually, Michael asked who "whatever Sawyer's real name is" was and Zeke said something along the lines of "You know him as Sawyer."

Miss Clue said that, not Zeke.
