-What happened to Claire?
-Why do dead people appear on the island (ie Jack's dad)
- Actually, what did happen to Claire? I can't remember but I'm sure something happened at some point?kalkal
- she's with jack's / her dad in the cabin.colin_s
- something went boom and collapsed on her right?jaylarson
- Claire was killed by the mercenaries hunting for Ben.moveinspace

-It's possible that Mrs. Fezziwig or whatever her name was (the woman who was talking to Ben at the end of this season's second episode) could be Daniel's mom, that would make some sense.
- i don't believe all the flashes are time distortions. For example, nothing on the island changed when The Swan almost blew up and allowed 815 to "find" the island. Nor did anything change when The Swan eventually blew up. Those were electromagnetic distortions, which possibly could have been used to stabilize the time fluctuations. Since the Swan blew up there have been some somewhat noticable discrepancies in the show (pictures on the wall changing from scene to scene, clocks jumping in time) that aren't continuity errors.
- Claire, in my opinion is dead (or as dead as you can be on the island). When Sawyer found her in the rubble of the building that the Freighter goons blew up, she called him Charlie (had she just seen Charlie?), then Miles (who talks to dead things) showed a great interest in accompanying and then observing Claire when they and Sawyer were headeed back toward the beach after the smoke monster chased the Freighties away. Then, of course, she's chilling in Jacob's cabin with Jack's Dad, who was dead before they even got on the plane.
And most importantly:
a thousand billion times hotter than Kate- She was a popular actress, wasn't she? I can't remember.Jaline
- I think Claire is dead, yes. But who knows, with this show. Also, I think Kate and Juliet are both very attractive, but Juliet'sJaline
- character pushes her a bit higher.Jaline
- I think claire is in the correct time, the time everyone has to return to, to make the timeline correctkalkal
- The bizare scene "sex scene" with her and angelina jolie was interestingkalkal
- she annoys the hell out of me. Looks like a duck.nadnerb
- She is very ducky. That's for surekalkal
- There were shots of her wearing a swimsuit top, however..raf

This week was good. i like how they really bat your perceptions of characters back and forth. Like Faraday, who is very likeable, leaving a woman in an intermittent vegetative state. Of course, maybe he went to try and fix it.
This episode also reminded me of how much i like Richard Alpert. It was different to see Richard in a time where he didn't exactly know what was going on.
The whole thing with Widmore was the best reveal in this episode for me. Not the office scene (i won't be more specific since i don't know who's watched it and who hasn't)
Oh yeah, and Miles is definately the new Sawyer when it comes to the one liners (though Sawyer had a couple this episode too)Next Week: The Little Prince
Kate discovers that someone knows the identity of Aaron's parents. On the island, the dramatic shifts through time place the remaining survivors in extreme peril.

Charles Whitmore. interesting.
- yeah, i can't speel.jaylarson
- It's good because along with pseudo-solving some of the long standing mysteries, they're still adding some more, like how he got therelocustsloth
- got there ad also why he leftlocustsloth

Excellent episode. I am impressed by how they continue to maintain the element of surprise with this show.
- locustsloth0
i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i KNEW he was alive. The positioning of everything when he was supposed to have died. HA! i was finally right on something. What a cliffhanger this week, eh? Guess we'll get to find out what Danielle's story was afterall
- ukit0
Is it just me or was it slightly lame when they were paddling in the boat, then the time shift and the canoe is still there? Shouldn't they have just fallen in the water?
- locustsloth0
^ i think there may be a direct contact "rule". Same thing goes with the guns, Locke's knife, Sawyer's machete and the contents of Daniel's backpack. Also, now that i think of it, their clothes.
- I'm cool with the clothes disappearing. Hearing me, writers?harlequino
- Juliet and Sawyer, yesJaline
- Redhead's a bit fetching too.
When she's not bleeding out her face, eek.harlequino - She has nice eyes. Actually, most of the people on the show are attractive in some way.Jaline
- the island can probably take anything it wants to through the time shifts.nadnerb

I remember I read somewhere that Daniel's story would be told this season, but I didn't connect it at all. Probably because the younger actress looks and speaks differently, hah. Very interesting though. I'm glad the show has a rough timeline of when it will end (within the next two years), so that nearly every new episode will be decent.
- harlequino0
I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I will note that a theory popping around is that the army chick on the island in the 50's may very well be Daniel's mother. Note that he said "you look so much like someone I used to know..."
You could also then suggest that she may have gotten together with the young Widmore, making Widmore Daniel's father, and therefore Daniel and Penny siblings, or half siblings.- Oh, that's a good one. I thought she was related to Daniel somehow. Like closer to his mother.Jaline
- Wait, that is what you said, LOL. I'm getting Daniel and Danielle mixed up.Jaline
- There were similarities between his mother "now" and that woman "then", so I think time travel has a role in her youthfulJaline
- appearance. while she is comatose in that bed that Desmond saw.Jaline
- Wait, why did I say "that's a good one". I need more sleep or something.Jaline
- Clearly. :)harlequino

I have no idea what the hell is going on in Lost anymore. I swear the writers are just making the story up as they go along. And now we have Time Travel to deal with. When is the new series of Rescue Me coming back on TV?
- harlequino0
I've noticed there's an interesting adherence to a theme of fate and destiny. It's been said a few times that you cannot change the past, what has happened, happened. If you interfere things will find a way of reverting back to a preexisting timeline. Remember this happened with Desmond trying to save Charlie. He was going to die anyway. However, it seems that you can make "waves" in time, affect some small things. That's what allowed Daniel to get Desmond out of the hatch a couple years before the lane crash to tell him to go to Oxford.
However, it seems that fate i still fate.I wonder if this conveniently lines up with the "fourth dimensional" outlook of time, from a physics perspective. If you look at time, as it appeared in "Slaughter House 5," for instance, in that time is simply the fourth perceivable dimension. Length, Width, Depth, Duration. To a fourth dimensional organism, time is always there, it's part of their world, everything always exists at the same "time." All things and people might look like giant snakes in a fourth dimensional world, since every instance of an object appears at once. To eliminate or change part of the "snake" is probably disastrous.
- You do realise that this is a TV show right, and not Real Life. How the fuck do you find all this in formation in a TV series is beyond me.********
- Dunno. Just good writing and I like stuff that gets the noggin moving. As opposed to...just about everyting else.harlequino
- Besides, the show is FILLED with references to other books, movies, etc. It's part of the story.harlequino
- Good writing does have this kind of stuff in it.juhls

Regarding searching for Daniel's mother, we can do a bit of connecting the dots and support harlequino's theory and add a bit to it
• Daniel's mom is in LA in the "present"
• Ben & his agents/bosses/cohorts are in LA in the "present"
• Ben's gray-haired female boss is Eloise Hawking
• The young army chick that escorted Daniel to the bomb is named Ellie
So, Daniel's mom is possibly both the army chick in the 50's AND the "Course Correction" proponent and lover of large pendulums, Mrs. Hawking- Elementary, my dear Watson.
*puffs bubble pipeharlequino - Not sure she is bens boss, i think she is helping him to save everyone, not because they are together.JamesBoynton
- Elementary, my dear Watson.

How about the polar bear?

Have we seen that place before, the place called "the temple?" I don't remember if Russo had said it at any time.
- juhls0
They did mention it right before Rousseau gets killed. After Ben finds out that the other crew (freighter, or whatever) are planning on destroying the island, he tells Rousseau, Alex and Karl to go to the Temple to be safe. I think some Others were apparently waiting there too.
- juhls0
I wonder who Charlotte's father is. I bet a bunch of them are related somehow.
Also, I heard that the actress who plays Rousseau wanted to get written off the show b/c she didn't want to travel to Hawaii all the time. They were planning on writing a back story for her before, but the writer's strike happened.
- locustsloth0
Ben just seems to keep ping-ponging back and forth over the perceived line of good guy and bad guy. I wonder how deep his deception goes? Does Mrs. Hawking know what he's up to? If she does, does Ben know she does?
