Welcome to the watching live thread!!! Please try to keep the posts topicy and have something more to say besides "Look at what Kate did!!!!" or "OMG!!!".

Enjoy!!!

You know that guy's British cause he says soddin' and bloody a lot. He's kinda terrible though.

"Aye" count for the night (two minutes in): 1.

Wowza!! What just happened to Desmond? That can't have been a memory or he would still have known Sayid? Hmmmmm, interesting.

Oooh, Daniel, don't break it up. This could end with a wet tshirt girlfight in the surf. :rolleyes:

LOL. Juliet ftw! Charlotte is really, really freckly.

I don't know. YOU. This shouldn't make me laugh, but it does. Sorry, Desmond.

OMG, there are Goa'ulds on the freighter (which looks kinda puny and unimpressive, btw). Lord Zipacna!

Oh, hey there, George! Not looking good, brutha.

I hate timetravel. Especially on LOST. But I like this better than FBYE so far.

It's 1996 brutha! The Spice Girls exploded onto the scene. Football comes home to England... Bill Clinton wins a second term.

Don't worry, Des, you haven't missed much. The Spice Girls just kicked off a reunion tour.

Is Desmond going through all this freaky stuff because he was exposed to the electro magnetic stuff in the hatch for all those years he was down there pushing the button???

OK, so Daniel is also a time travler....that's what he's been doing with his physics education. Or might he also be a student studying at Oxford on that date/time? Great episode, my favorite of the new season so far! It's so quick!!

I think Daniel just confirmed that it's because of exposure to electromagnetism + traveling away from the Island. Or something. I'm just gonna kickback and then read the threads on the Fuselage to figure out wtf's going on.

When Des said it's 96, they should have totally started doing the Macarena. Good times. Good times. Hey, what can I say... I'm a child of the 90s.

Is Desmond going through all this freaky stuff because he was exposed to the electro magnetic stuff in the hatch for all those years he was down there pushing the button???

No, probably from turning the key and impolding the SWAN.

:roflmao: All he's missing is a joint hanging on the side of his mouth.

Me and my firend just had a OH SNAPS moment!

Desmond tells Farrady about the island and crash and EVERYTHING. THAT IS WHY when Farrady sees the plane crash on tv he cires: he KNOWS what happens. That is why Charlotte SMILES when she sees the Dharma Polar Bear in Tunisia: she KNOWS about dharma.

We'll have to finish the episode but OMG!

Think of all the people on this board who hate the idea of LOST going the supernatural route! they are all going to think that LOST has lost it..Since they now have pretty much confirmed the time travel stuff!!!
So why not have someone go back in time and just keep the Dang plane from Crashing!!

And that's why Abaddon hired THESE people, even if they're so very unlikely for a mission to the Island. Naomi was obviously not in the know.

Oooh, I'm such a Black Rock junkie. I was spoiled about this, but it's awesome nonetheless.

I am LOVING this episode!!! I hope this theory is right, I think it would be INSANE.

AHhh!!!! I'm just so antsy right now, this is so awesome!

I've read similar reactions from everyone else. It's a well written episode and answers are never bad. I'm not a fan of the timetravel but hey, they're doing it so I'm just glad they're doing it well in an entertaining manner. I really hated FBYE and this is about a thousand times better.
