I know, but I was just trying to make sense of the whole Teddy Bear theme from the last episode. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

It's either that or they just tell alex that her dad is ben because she would have no idea otherwise. Admittedly I can't remember if rousseau just said her husband got "sick" or if he actually died.

Rousseau was 7 months pregnant before crashing on the island, so it's unlikely that Ben is Alex's biological father. Her husband's name was Robert - he got "sick" and she killed him, just like the rest of her crew.

This was mentioned earlier somewhere, but to me the biggest question I have is why the sheriff lady kept talking about Chinese tats when they were done in Thailand by the Thai chick. Seems weird, like it shouldn't be a mistake because they had already talked about Jack being in Thailand (with Sawyer when they played poker), but they absolutely didn't explain it at all. My best guess here is that it's just a random thing they threw in to make people like me ask WTF.

VN post, I agree with everything.

This was the first episode EVER where I would miss a snippet of dialogue and just not care.

The tattoo story was completely meh as others have noted, but I do see some potential as part of a larger plot.

Have to disagree with the hotness of the thai tattoo artist. Tight body, but her face (and haircut WTF) was kinda busted.

I want them to get back to the weird Ukranian monitoring station and explore that plot a little. Also want to see some stuff involving the eyepatch dude. More global conspiracy stuff, plz.

SHE IS ASIAN. ASIAN = HOT on 2+2, duh!

she is Bai Ling... she is a worthless excuse for an actress, or even a famous person

The reason the Others are so incredibly boring is because the writers have yet to make any effort to explain any aspect of them that is actually interesting.

Oh, they have polar bear cages and shark tanks?
That's interesting, but no explanation why.
Oh, they have access to the outside world?
That's interesting, but no explanation how.
Oh, there's a power struggle between Juliet and Ben?
That's interesting, but no explanation of the reasons.
Oh, they have a submarine?
etc.

Pretty much the only real revelation they've given us was in the opening scene of season 3, which so far has been the best few minutes of the entire season. There is potential for great stuff here, but for now there's just boring stretch-the-season-out filler before we start getting answers to the things that are actually interesting about the Others. It's the nature of the beast - the beast being network television.

So, I'll just close with a saying that works its way into every thread for The Office - it was a weak episode, but still better than most everything else on TV anymore.

okay, we know how last week's episode played with Desmond and time?

WHAT IF:

Alex and Carl are actually THE TWO LITTLE KIDS WITH THE TEDDY BEAR that were kidnapped in Season 2 and that because of The Other's time experiments, they are now older than they should be?

I'm saying this because of a couple of things:

1) Alex and Carl named their constellation the "Teddy Bear."
2) Carl has no clue what The Brady Bunch is, so either he has been on the island his whole life (unlikely) or he was too young to remember The Brady Bunch when he was back in civilization.

Of course, this theory falls apart if the two kids with Cindy are actually the same two kids we saw on the beach with Ana Lucia. Anyone know about that??

[/ QUOTE ]

completely wrong for the reasons you stated. (both that its VERY likely they've been on the island most of their lives, and that the kids are the same as the ones with ana lucia)

[/ QUOTE ]

To add specifics, the kid ASKED about Ana Lucia, sending Jack in to his tailspin. No way all these things could have occured even with a time (singularity/continuum/clusterf*ck)

Apparently the others aren't the only ones who engage in the practice of marking.



Edit: and just to add a little content so I don't get marked myself, when I was searching for the pic, I stumbled across a posting on another website indicating that the the mark on her back is an upside down scientology cross.

Yes, I may walk among OOT, but I am not one of you. And I actually forgot that I had an avatar because I've had them disabled in my settings for so long - that caught me by surprise.
