They're off to a great start. Both eps have been good, but I liked the last one (with Desmond) the best. Lots of insight into his character, and yet more mysteries to unravel.

Mmm, Desmond is a hottie. Me thinks he went to Shing Jea Monastery and bought a Lunar Fortune and he has gotten the Spiritual Possession one.

Desmond is experiencing Lost Time, Brutha. Maybe he's been taken by aliens?

So was the time travel real or imaginary?

I honestly have no idea. As I said on another forum, I'm beginning to feel like I need a science degree to understand what's happening on the island, and I don't like it one bit.
If I had to guess, I'd say that the time travel was real, but I'm only saying that because of the Mittelos anagram and because the guy guarding Karl a couple of episodes back was reading Hawking's A Brief History of Time in which we learn about wormholes and bending space/time, etc..

I have to agree -- I prefer to think the time travel line as opposed to psychic ability.

I think it's real. Des is somehow out of phase with the normal flow of time. Sort of like he's been lifted from the page of a book, and is catching glimpses of future pages edge on.

I've been puzzled by the state that Desmond woke up in. In the past, he woke up covered in red paint that looked like blood. I mean, it was covering his throat and wrists as if he'd been bled. And then in the present, he woke up naked. There's some significance here. What gives.
There's a part of me that thinks maybe he died and was, for whatever reason, sent back, chose to come back, or forced his way back.

Ehh... I'm just waiting for the next Locke episode, most of them have been around the others, but no Locke. Hopefully the next episode with Locke... Spoiler...
Hopefully if it is a Locke episode... we suppose to find out why he got into the wheelchair in the first place, and apparently that new guy that was with that girl, is suppose to die soon ^_^

I've said it before -- and I'll say it again -- Locke can't be trusted. Just something about him I don't like.....I can't wait til the next Hurley episode -- after all Cheech is playing his dad

The person I'd most trust with my life on the island is Jack. Next, I'd choose Locke. He's definitely my favorite character, and I feel exactly the opposite about him as you do, Inda. I think in the end Locke will sacrifice himself for someone else or for multiple people. His story will be tragic, but he will be something of a hero.

But Locke has that scary "beat up Charlie/blow up the hatch" side of his personality. Then again, Jack has that whole "torture is ok if someone else does it side." Oh, right, everyone's flawed. I think I might trust Charlie or Hurley the most in their intentions, and Jack or Locke more in terms of their competance.

But Charlie bashed Sun on the head with a rock! I dislike him very much. I agree with you about Hurley's intentions though. He seems to have a relatively pure heart. I'm still down with Locke though.

I was ROFLMAO during last night's ep. I SO needed a Hurley fix. "Shut up, Red...Neck...Man!"
It's nice to be back on the beach.

Just a quick little double post to say, "WTF, John Locke?"

See! I said John can't be trusted...after all he was potentially on the list (according to Ben). And when a crazy guy wearing an eye patch who isn't a pirate recognizes you -- well you know it ain't good.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok my thoughts -- Ben went to go get Jack (when he was captured by Russo and they took him to the hatch)-- but after talking with Locke and seeing everything he decided to lure Locke to the other's area (as a back up b/c even if Jack were to do the surgery Ben would need "rehabilitation" from the Island) by bringing Locke's conman daddy -- who conned Sawyer -- to the Isle.

Not sure what you mean. What is Ben's motive for wanting to lure Locke to the camp? I know he used Locke's anger to get Locke to do his bidding (blow up the submarine), but how would Locke have helped Henry otherwise?
This ep brought back all of my empathy for John Locke. It's no wonder the poor guy is looking so hard for something to believe in. He's never, ever been able to count on anyone. His father is eeeevil and deserves to get killed by smokey. If Locke's relationship with the island keeps evolving, that might be what eventually happens.
Seriously: there had better not be a "magical box."

I know he used Locke's anger to get Locke to do his bidding (blow up the submarine), but how would Locke have helped Henry otherwise? To help Ben get past the mental block he has with the Island so he can walk again....that's why Ben needs Locke there. Condaddy is there as a type of sacrifice for Locke's island connection. See and I feel just the opposite about Locke. He's so wrapped up in his own self pity and is only concerned about himself that he won't let anyone stop his pity train -- he ruined his one chance at a solid healthy relationship because he had to obsess over his condaddy, helped contribute to the death of a young man who was trying to stop condaddy, destroyed the radio on the island when it was working, contributed to Boon's death, contributed to Echo's death, killed eye-patch russian dude, killed Jack's chance of getting of the island and finding help. Ok yeah I'm sorry the guy had a rough life and condaddy broke his heart (and back) but he's willing to take anyone down who gets in his way. He's just like Ben.

Agreed that they're building a nice parallel between Locke and Ben, but I think there will likely be a crucial moment in which Locke (finally) does the right thing and is redeemed (to the extent that the audience will forgive his mistakes.) I don't think Ben will EVER do the right thing. The level of his self-interest exceeds Locke's. He really showed his true colors by his manipulation of Locke, Jack and Juliet. The scene where Juliet thanked Ben for keeping his word to her was hard to watch, so diabolical was Ben.

Hmmm, does anyone think they may be setting up Locke to redeem himself by sacrificing his life for the good of the Losties? It would be in keeping with the show's underlying theme of redemption.

Ah but that depends on your definition of redemption. If they set Locke up as a "Christ figure" I'll be disappointed -- because he has not sacrificed anything of his own pleasure or comfort-- in fact that's his driving force -- well that and fear of his condaddy. My view point is -- Locke has to actually comes to terms with his selfishness/fear and actually ask his island comrades for forgiveness -- then he can be redeemed. If he never comes to that acceptance of his past actions and makes his comrades aware of his "sins" against them and sacrifices himself then he only does it for himself and the "Godot" of the island -- I say Godot because he doesn't know what he's waiting for if there really is anything to wait for...To paraphrase Cake "There's only room for Locke, In his world of two".
