That's pretty funny, as I was sure that I was going to put the link up only to discover that three or four others had beaten me to it. I guess every dog does have his day.

I would argue that, in this instance Jack didn't fuck things up as much as he accelerated Sawyer's fuck ups.

Could it have been this one?

Faraday's apparently been working at Dharma headquarters for the last three years or so. I'm thinking he probably knows a lot more about the various hatches and stations than the people who have actually been living on the Island during that same period of time.

I'm not so sure they wouldn't be willing to kill off any character, especially considering that "death" hasn't been the end for most of the ones who have been killed. What worries me about Jack is that he seems like he'd be just the kind of person to sacrifice himself (say by detonating a Hydrogen bomb) if he thought…

I'm not criticizing his planning as much I am his criticism of Jack's leadership. It seems to me that he bit off a little bit more than he could chew. I'm guessing maybe he has a new understanding of what Jack was going through for the first several seasons.

I don't think it's a possibility because, pacing wise, it doesn't make any sense to me. You make everything like it was at the end of this season, then what do you do for all of next season? It seems like there wouldn't be enough time to do a reboot of all events if you wanted to tie up all the unanswered Island…

Seriously, and judging by the looks of him afterward, Radzinsky seems pretty damn fire resistant. Barely a hair singed on his beard or anything.

I agree with you first solution comment. The writers rarely ever give us what they tell us they're going to. I see some kind of kink in the plan happening fairly soon.

Truly, for all Sawyer's complaining about how bad a leader Jack was, things sure seemed to go to shit for him pretty fast. I mean, your plan is to punch out Phil, tie him up in your closet and then leave him there? Oh, now you want to go running through the jungle. Fat lot of good all that reading did him.

I'm hoping that they're driving towards a situation where Jack and Kate think they're moving towards accomplishing Faraday's plan, but in the end they stumble across something quite different. What will it be exactly? I don't know. But it seems from the sneak of next week's episode that Jack is diving into some…

I bet the Ewoks have a name for it.

No, he's gonna go home early and get tanked on Dharma beer, and then smack his shitty kid around some.

Those tapes are U-Matic videocassette tapes that were developed by Sony in the late sixties and available on the market by the early 70s.

If you're not willing to deal with cheesy CGI from time to time in order to further develop the plot of the show then you might be in for some rough times ahead.

But Richard did seem to be living in the Army encampment when the Losties visited it in 1954. Or he was hanging around at the very least. Do you think there's a difference between them staying in the Army camp vs. the Barracks?

I'm hoping for a scene of Mikhail bumbling around the jungle.

One could draw interesting parallels between how much Lucas knew when writing the series vs. how much the Lost writers knew while writing their series. I'm thinking they probably had it a bit more thought out than he did. Though I've always been of the opinion that Lucas was about 70% hack.

I'm itching to see exactly what's inside of that temple. It was mentioned for the first time when, at the end of season 3? Ever since they've been getting closer and closer to it, only to divert us at the last moment. Oh those lost writers and their tantalizing ways.

Since Locke brought it up in this episode
What are people's thoughts on the way in which the Hostiles seem to appropriate the clothing and lodgings of the people they wipe out/drive away? Locke seems to look down on the practice as something that the Island or Jacob wouldn't like, and seems to imply it's more along…
