We at least do not pronounce it "fy-ance."

I predict a tunnel will appear in the next episode.

I would think you guys would all be good at spotting actual Lost deaths and teasing cliffhangers. Exhibit A: Jin. If you don't have a confirmed image of a dead body, they ain't dead yet. Lost deaths are very obvious, until some shenanigans like Sayid or Smocke get in the way. The real threat of that damned promo was…

No, I wouldn't say remembering the other reality means you die. It's interesting that Charlie, Libby, and Faraday, all characters who died on the island, are more able to have flash experiences. All it took for Libby was the sight of Hurley on TV. I don't think we can say that Sawyer and Kate have had the same…

I do actually have a problem with the performance being a little too zombie-like. It's unsettling, yes, but I wouldn't call his performance hypnotic. I would use that word for anything Terry O'Quinn has done this season. Just watching what he does with his eyes when he speaks to other characters is enthralling.

I am actually having a completely opposite reaction to this Sayid. I can't tell if he's got the Sickness thing and was Claimed, if it's just Sayid gone loco, or if he's somehow under Smocke's control in the way Claire is/was/seems to be. There's not only a lack of emotion there's a lack of logic to me to how I should…

I do not at all think Des was trying to kill Alterna-Locke. He has to know there is a difference between Smocke and Locke. Or Widmore had better have told him at least! I think Desmond is on his mission to jumpstart everyone's memories.

Des looks damn fine in those sunglasses. Other girls on here agree? Yum, yes? Guys too. You know you liked it.

Stray observations of my own
First off, reading the recap, Noel, thank you for sending me into a fit of giggles with your "Where's my husband?" bit. Having to write it on the notepad would have been overkill.

Little known fact that "It Wasn't Me" was actually inspired by OJ Simpson.

Then there is this:

Whee!

@Lone Audience

You can find Ana-Lucia in another alternate reality: it's called inside James Cameron's head.

The Eloise of the 70s really doesn't match the Eloise of today. Still shrewd. Still kinda sinister in a cool way. But the 70s Eloise was just another player in the game. The Eloise of today is like someone calling the shots. I feel like we need an Eloise and Widmore episode to explain how she came to know so much.

Wild, crazy-ass theory time
Hear me out.

Well Juliet on the island experienced something similar to Charlie: near-death flashing to the other reality. Juliet saw a reality where she was alive sipping coffee, presumably with Sawyer, and claimed the bomb worked. But she flashed to this Alternaverse, just like Charlie flashed to Claire. But the thing about…

My problem with the Alternaverse as Smocke's reward, as I said somewhere else in here already, is what are the stakes? What does it matter to show us the sideflashes if they will amount to a very, very open-ended epilogue? Additionally, if Desmond is going to offer everyone a glimpse of their optional other realities,…

I'm hesitant to think Alterna-Desmond swapped consciousness with Island Desmond, because I don't know how compliant Alterna-Desmond would have been with getting held at gunpoint by Sayid, whom he wouldn't remember or know, and then casually walking off with him. I tend to agree walking in the jungle as they were…
