IS this eppi gonna deal with flashbacks??

Here we go - I am so excited!

i didn't know abc plays last week's episode right before the new one. have they always done this or is it new? i'm usually at work and i make it home JUST in time to see the current epi.

Did anyone catch what Sawyer yells in the preview or is that a spoiler?

i am going to be splitting my attention tonight gang
have someone i have to explain lost to
\

Finally!!! Yeah!

i didn't know abc plays last week's episode right before the new one. have they always done this or is it new? i'm usually at work and i make it home JUST in time to see the current epi.

They were in the fall - then they had comedies on the last few weeks - you just never know!

Superman vs Flash lol

Got to be a vison!

fuck charlie dead already!!!! oh it was a dream.....sheesh

cHARLIE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OMG NO
please it has to be a dream

What!!!!!! Did this just happen? Why didn't he see this? What?????

I'm shocked that Brian K. Vaughan had anything to do with this episode [/sarcasm]


*meep* Guess those "Save the Junkie, Save the World" peeps are freaking out right now, eh?

wow.......an arrow to the neck - that must suck!
TODAY CAN'T BE THE DAY CHARLIE DIES!!!!!

Thank goodness! That was freaky!

Oh it was just a flash... Thank godness..

What just happened? Holy crap - I hate it when they start out so quick and AWESOME like that!

Sayid does! Ask Sayid!!!!!

I Think He Said "finish It!"

Holy Moly, Charlie got a arrow thru his neck

This is going to be a fun ride tonight! It already is!!!!! woo hoo!

Who? Penny?? A UFO? What??

What just happened? Holy crap - I hate it when they start out so quick and AWESOME like that!

you love it!

so "someone's coming", is that what the blinky red light in the sky in des's flashes is?

OH Man - do you think Des would be willing to risk Charlies life in the hopes that it is Penny that is coming since he saw her in the future dream thing?

Talk about starting off with a bang. I so wigged out for a few seconds.

OK, that looked painful and I have to say that even though I'm not a huge fan of Charlie's, I'm glad it was just a vision.

I wish I was on farK, just so I could've posted the Admiral Akbar cliche: "IT'S A TRAP!"

OH Man - do you think Des would be willing to risk Charlies life in the hopes that it is Penny that is coming since he saw her in the future dream thing?

It sure looks like he will

you love it!

OH YES I DO - you do too - don't you :)

Starts out with a bang!

WOWZA!

I think that's the first time we've ever actually SEEN Desmond's flashes! KEWL!

And the cable is coming back into play. KEWLER!



And Superman would SOOOOO beat The Flash in a race. . . .:71:

omg that was freaky scary

Dude, that is a terrible way to die if that is how he goes. Where is Jack when you need him?! Do you think Charlie will die that way now that we know it? I don't think he will - desmond will save him. He may die in the battle, if that is what is coming!

It sure looks like he will

I hope not then I won't be able to like him anymore - I LOVE Charlie!

Ok, i just missed the first few minutes up till the point where Des asks Hurley about the cable. What happened??????????

He became a priest? Did we know this?

Desmond in a monestary? (and I can't spell)

Lost IS Definatly Back!!! Ohhh..,. HOttie Warning! Is he becoming a Monk? No way!

Hum I wonder if this was pre Penny pre jail -

OH that guy looks familiar!

One of us... Heard that a lot.. Brotha.. Thats where got that from

Ah ha, so that is where he gets the brother from.

So that's where he gets the "brotha" thing from

Now we know why he calls everyone Brother

I just told someone today that the thing that Des seems to need to fix is his lack of committment or ability to make a committment - odd that that monk would say that he thought he wouldn't make it -

OH YES I DO - you do too - don't you :)

you know i do!!!

Jack and Hurley have red on!!!
Hurley is so cute!

Hurley is so darn cute - cuz we're friends -
He is tailing him like crazy!

They're going to the wire. Jack from Jay and Jack's podcast should be happy!

the dot in the sky was red!

Wow, that's one of the more straight-forward answers ever given on lost

Sooooo, he is still having flashes? He gets them intermittently through his dreams?

Veddy veddy interesting...

The box - bringing something back - just like the Others.

Is anyone elses tv's making a poping noise??

Funny that he mentions the BOX - wonder if it is the same box that Ben has on the island!

Red shirt on Des in the flashback 0

Why doesn't he just tell Charlie to stay back at the camp?

Des is thinking he'll be seeing Penny soon.

He is finally at a loss for words!

wowzer, kate showing some skin there

Sawyer is like a little school boy flirting with Kate, haha

I'm up here.. Lol... Boys will be boys

He got shafted!

You know, I was just going to post complaining about the sound screwing up on comcast but HOLY JEEBUS KATE IS HOT

Awww. James...get used to it.

perverts! lol gotta love sawyer

A mix tape --- too good - it is like the 80's and highschool all over!

Is anyone elses tv's making a poping noise??

Yes! Mine was!

So then Charlie has to come? So then he will die, if he wants Penny to show up! oh no.

Jin is wearing red -

Hurley could run for office and WIN!

I love the Penny story line. I've been wondering what happened since the mysterious Siberian (?) listening station

so true, hurley: everybody DOES love marshmallows

what the heck are you doing Desmond??!

Sawyer reminds me so much of my brother Johnny that it hurts sometimes.

Will he tell the truth - will he warn him that he will die if he goes!
Red guitar!

desmond is going to sacrifice the hobbit?

How can he do that to Charlie?

Funny that he mentions the BOX - wonder if it is the same box that Ben has on the island!
Depends on your definition of the Box...

I wonder if the visitor is one of the guys from the Antartac guys?

I love the Penny story line. I've been wondering what happened since the mysterious Siberian (?) listening station

I thought it was on the other side of the planet, myself.

Nice gutiar. Yes it does Charlie!!! Charlie is gonna die I think.. :'(

*waves at Greggory*

Did Charlie get a new guitar? Cuz that one looks super shiny. And Desmond is much better at lying than Hurley. Probably a testament of character...

*shutting up now*

OH MAN - he lied - oh now I think he is BAD - see if these people would forget the soap opera theme and start TELLING each other things stuff like this wouldn't happen! :)

Charlie better not die, ugh

Now Desmond thinks he can prevent Charlie from dying with just Jack's first aide kit? there aren't that many supplies in one of those.

Hi Greg!!!

Depends on your definition of the Box...

HUM - wonder if Des has the same definition and Ben?

I'm on the fence about the arrow situation... but I really want to see more from Sawyer than teen longing looks. Whatev. Hopefully there's a point to that little side story. :rolleyes:

Hi Gregg! Great SHow by far!! Is anyone having volume issuse or is it just me?

Is anyone elses tv's making a poping noise??


your tv is about to crap out! you have aprox. 3 commercials to find another one!:biggrin:

I do not like that he lied to Charlie. I do not like that AT ALL.

Does he actually believe that Charlie has to die for Penny to show up?

I can't believe this.

I know he loves her, but he wouldn't let someone DIE just so he can see her again!

Please tell me this isn't happening. . . .

This episode started off quick and strong, I hope the intensity level keeps up

Now Desmond thinks he can prevent Charlie from dying with just Jack's first aide kit? there aren't that many supplies in one of those.

Hi Greg!!!

I'm pretty sure it has a tube of arrow-out.

Do you think Desmonds visions get better at it goes on? Meaning, the closer the time, he sees everything more clearly.

Oh, I thought the mix tape joke was adorable. :biggrin:

*waves at Greggory*

Did Charlie get a new guitar? Cuz that one looks super shiny. And Desmond is much better at lying than Hurley. Probably a testament of character...

*shutting up now*

As in Hurley is good and not a good lier and Des is being a total JERK and bad and therefore a good liar?

Did anyone else have sound issues?

Bridge over the River Kwai

Des could have charlie hold the metal first aid box at throat level when they go a walkin' in the woods

Hi Gregg! Great SHow by far!! Is anyone having volume issuse or is it just me?

Volume and the pic gets scrambled - same thing happened in the epi before!

hahah nice hiking tune guys

How cute aall of them wistling... Two Hotties out of four isn't bad right?

What is that silver thing we keep seeing?

Any if he really loved Penny he wouldn't want he sucked into the island - now would he!

Did anyone else have sound issues?
I am! I can't believe he's a monk. And working in a vineyard.

About the sound issues, two of my friends on IM who have comcast are having sound issues (as am I), my friend with satellite isn't, you guys have comcast?

Brotherhook winery? I used to drink Brotherhood wine!! Cool!

Whistling that tune - which reminded me of The Breakfast Club btw - kind of ominous - marching into battle.

Brother Desmond? interesting story line considering his ability to now see into the future

whoa, desmond just got a driveby beating

i love this epi

who was that??? Where is sawyer making a mix tape I hope

On another note - how do they make Des's face thin in the flashback - then chubbier when he is on the island?

Wonder what that was all about? Maybe the fact that he has CONNED someone in the past! ;)

Why is she trying so hard to get back in his graces? Give it up!!!! She is annoying.

Aloha Gregg. Another great episode! Thank you!

hahah nice hiking tune guys
Big Damn Heroes :10:

How cute aall of them wistling... Two Hotties out of four isn't bad right?

I would do anything but I won't do that ;)

OH MAN, kate is jealous!

Brother Desmond? interesting story line considering his ability to now see into the future

Reminded me of Sayid getting kidnapped at the resturant.

Oh Poor Kate!!!!! Sawyer go console her!

Kate will RUN to Sawyer for sure now! called that one!

Oh, so now she wants Sawyer - she is a girl!

There you go Skaters, enjoy!!

wow kate. Sawyer is happy now.

Queen of Usury & Lies... paging Kate! Enough already!

everybody happy now?

Wow if Kate keeps that up she is going to end up pregnant!

haha Jin telling ghost stories! Hurley looks so scared

Jin is so funny! And they have no clue as to what he is saying!
That was funny!

So I take it this is the reason we have a 10:00 timeslot?

If this is a linear curve of later time:awesome kate doin' it action, I vote for a timeslot around 3 AM

Horror stories.. How cute! Even though they don't even understand.. Thats funny..

Dude...I am trying REALLY hard not to look too much into the BRIGHT RED SHIRTS that are being worn by Jack and Jin in this episode.

Of course, Kate is wearing a lovely shade of green, right now....

Oh look...10 o'clock sex :24:

Jin is great, i'm so glad we get to see him more

I love Jin telling the ghost story! That's the best!

:21: Ghost stories...chupacabra

I hope Charlie can appeal to him to get him to let charlie live!

See how much chubbier his face is?

Omg Helicopter?!?!

Helicopter :eek2:

Helicopter!

Does anyone here that noise

Listen!!! What is that noise? A Chopper I believe!

Sounds like a helicopter!

I like Desmond - I almost started crying.

There It Is!!! Is It Penny?

it is about to crash!

Dude...I am trying REALLY hard not to look too much into the BRIGHT RED SHIRTS that are being worn by Jack and Jin in this episode.

Of course, Kate is wearing a lovely shade of green, right now....

Oh look...10 o'clock sex :24:

I hear you about the RED! Not looking good.

engine is freezing!!!!

WTF?! Helicopter?! Oh no! Another crash!

Oh no../. What happened? There it is.. I think...

OMG what is going on?????
What is it! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course they can't see a thing. You couldn't get me into the ocean in the dark for anything.

Rescue beacon.

WHAT IS IN THE AIR?! First contact with the outside world!!!

On another note - how do they make Des's face thin in the flashback - then chubbier when he is on the island?

Wonder what that was all about? Maybe the fact that he has CONNED someone in the past! ;)

It's the beard. When he is cleanshaven, his face looks much thinner.


*glued to TV set*

So all aircraft seem to have trouble around the island.

The magnetism thingy?

what in the heck are those red lights still in the sky?

oh that silver thing was a parachute -they jumped from the plane -

OK so theoretically (sp) if the helicopter crashes - and Penny if it is Penny is on the island - WHY would Charlie still need to go into the jungle with them to find her -

ON a second thought - he never actually saw Penny just things that reminded him of her could it be his implant from the others causing him to believe it is Penny but in reality it isn't?

What did they see in the sky, if the copter crashed? HELP!

At least, I know what was bugging Desmond out--he thinks Penny's in the copter, and it crashed!

Stupid commercial break!!



ETA: Just read the above posts. A parachute! OK. Thanks!

Is it a UFO or a heicopter that is has a bad engine? Or what??

WHAT IS IN THE AIR?! First contact with the outside world!!!

Someone parachuting down maybe? I couldn't tell exactly.

What if it's not Pen?

Des is gonna be BUMMED!

a helicopter can't fly too far, can it? i might be wrong, but then that would mean it had to have come from pretty close by. hm...

So we think the red light was a rescue becon?

this is late, but i have comcast and i'm not having a sound problem.

These last few weeks have been awesome.

Can't wait to buy season 3.

having extended tanks, a military helicopter might make 3.5 to 4 hours in the air.

haha UFO -- new story line: aliens invade the island. The Others and the Losties unite

a helicopter can't fly too far, can it? i might be wrong, but then that would mean it had to have come from pretty close by. hm...


depends on the gastank maybe.

Did anyone catch what the announcer just said?

Des is getting caught in his lies...

WHY all four!

WHY make Charlie go!

oh, poor desmond, jumping to conclusions based on wishful thinking

He's willing to sacrifice Charlie for Penny...

Looks like a military pilot.

Des is offering Charlie up? what the heck?

Sounds like Charlie is the only one with any comnon sense.

this episode is exciting! where are they going at first light?

charlie, protect your neck!

is this a trick? it was daylight in the vision, right?

Wow, so as things change desmond sees a different series of flashes?

I'm worried for Charlie... Ruth? Who is she?

OMG - he needs Charlie so that he releases the trap and she falls - without him stepping on the trap and DYING she can't fall - the first aid kit isnt for Charlie it is for HER!

OH I am so mad at him!

Who the heck is Ruth?

DAMN COMMERCIALS!!!

So are we thinking that Desmond considers the "death of Charlie" to be his test of faith? a la Abraham?

Ruth...another biblical name. Reminds me of my daughter...Naomi :)

Ruth? Who's Ruth?

Desmond has a history running away from love

He's got issues.

He has commitment issuses... Thats too bad.

having extended tanks, a military helicopter might make 3.5 to 4 hours in the air.

thanks. okay, so i guess my notion's completely wrong. oh well, it was worth a shot. :undecide:

wahhh, I lost my internet connection and then I was busy trying to fix that. I missed some stuff.

hehe, Celtic winning the cup....

des is less sexy with short hair....

Sounds like Charlie is the only one with any comnon sense.
Except I think that it was light in Desmond's vision...

So how did he go from Ruth and the brotherhood --- to Penny??

So...desmond (a) has left more than one woman at the last minute and (b) has had flashes before and awoken unaware of what was going on.

nice accent

I love their accent.. I hope Charlie lives.

So when did he fall for Penny - I am so not happy with Des - he is terrible at committments

Ugh - now we have to watch this! Pathetic Jack wooing Juliet.
Nice going Sawyer!

Jack is totally getting Sucked in by Juliette. Run Jack run.

Oh Sawyer I love him
He is so awesome!

Sawyer is gonna tell Jack about Kate...

If we don't play every 108 minutes!

Puking!

Jack and Sawyer socializing and enjoying it? ...weird

Sawyer has a thing for Kate. I guess Kate leaving made Sawyer realize how much he cares for her

what are the letters on Sawyers shirt?

OH man Sawyer just found out that Kate was mad at Jack and he is being used -
poor Sawyer!

Oh no, here we go.

Desmond is going a little crazy.. Oh no....Charlie..

So that was a bit interesting, sawyer has to know that Kate still has feelings for Jack

He has saved his life three times but is now leading him to slaughter??

Desmond makes a good point there to Charlie.

HAHAHA using Hurley as a step ladder!!!

I don't understand desmond anymore.

Dude - Duck - Duke - duck - no don't kill Charlie

grrrr.... this is driving me nuts!! I love Desmond, but he his being SO selfish right now. Charlie doesn't need to be there, he shouldn't have forced him to go.

PHONE... ugh, dead battery! and the picture!!!!!!!!! This is getting good

Joseph Heller this time.

It is an other - it is a trap! Don't do it Desmond! Don't fall for it!!!!

Is it just me or do all bateries die on the island?

OMG! It is Penny, or her representative.

this wasn't part of the vision -

What are they doing to my blood pressure on the edge of my seat here!

its the guys from the listening station sent to find Desmond!!!

Shocker.

Other people have seen things on the island relating to their lives at home. I still wonder how LOST is going to work in "the box" and Locke's "father" into the overall story line

OK, so satellite phone looks alot like the iphone, but seriously if it's "Dead" does that mean the battery is dead, or it has no reception? Cause if it's not getting satellite reception that's gotta be some kinda clue about the island, like... it's on a place on earth not covered by satellites.

OMG! It is Penny, or her representative.

Is there a difference?

Story Des told his ex-fiance? Fell flatter than a pancake. The man really DOES have a character flaw or three, doesn't he?

Loved the ping-pong game. Hurley has taught James well! :D

Kate's about to get what-for, though.

I'm just not comfy with how back-to-normal life has settled into on the beach, though. There is some ragged writing going on here.

why would desmond sacrifice charlie? wouldn't the chute land no matter if they were there or not?

What else was in that backpack besides the book and the satellite phone? It was so quick, I didn't see.

Oh snap!

Did I mention...DAMN COMMERCIALS!!! Arrrgghhh!!!

Okay...confusion is dawning (shocker). Is Ruth a part of Desmond's original backstory -- or is she the "I'll be with her so I won't hurt the one I REALLY love" alterna-backstory that has no Penny? But...he has the pic of him and Penny...so somewhere along the way he spent 6 years with Ruth -- but was it before or after Penny and the army? And where does his monkhood fit into all this.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

Oh, but two-snaps-in-a-circle for the use of Ruth -- only one step away from my daughter's name...Naomi :)

Other people have seen things on the island relating to their lives at home. I still wonder how LOST is going to work in "the box" and Locke's "father" into the overall story line

It was all in his head! Just a dream !

Let the commicerals be over with.... NOW!... :/ Sorry it didn't work.

its the guys from the listening station sent to find Desmond!!!

Maybe not them personally but definitely someone associated with them.

So many things going on in this island. His vision is differing from reality. I sure hope Charlie doesn't die

He has saved his life three times but is now leading him to slaughter??

he's got to make a sacrifice, brother!

Ohhh. A Mix Tape.. How cute!!!!!!!

This is going by so fast.
Sawyer is so cute.

Oh snap!

Did I mention...DAMN COMMERCIALS!!! Arrrgghhh!!!

I am guessing Ruth is first then the BROTHER - then leaves and meets Penny then the army and jail right?

OMG A Bernard mention!

oooh, bernard got a mention!

Des will save Charlie in the end. TPTB want us to think he's giving him up.

Be honest with her Sawyer - Oh man he is so sweet! He deserves so much better!

MIX TAPE! We're back in seventh grade again!!!

He mentioned Bernard... no mention of him for a long time

Poor Sawyer realizes that Kate has feelings for Jack. Sometimes she annoys the life out of me!

here comes the storm and the Superman vs. Flash argument!

Storm a comin'. Charlie live live live please........

Never thought I'd say this, because I'm not a huge Sawyer fan, but... He deserves WAY better than Kate!

YEEAHHHHH SAWYER!!!! Kick her to the curb...

The vision is still there... It is not raining in his vision though????

Desmond is not nice! That is rude - he doesn't even know if it is Penny. Not a good way to go at all!

rain this is so bad - rain oh and every where there is RED

thanks for the heads up about bringing an umbrella dude.....HURLEY!!!!!

Nobody plays it cooler than Sawyer though...never let em see ya sweat!

The rain is never good. Here it comes.

How much is a quid?????
