I was waitin' on you to show up.....so what do you think (see my above post)?

I think a couple things.
1)the stuff Desmond injected himself with in the beginning sequence was labelled CR 4-81516-23 42. Together with the Quarantine label, I think those numbers indicate a serum to prevent something.
2)Desmond had that conversation with Jack about miracles about Sarah walking again. Who else do we know that walked again because of a miracle?
3)The fact that Jack met Desmond before means to me that those specific people being on the island is intentional.

Good eyes. Also note the high magnetic field that pulled Jack's pendant toward the wall, the electircal humming sound, and th big control room with all the electrical equipment.

I think there is some sort of experiment going on there at the island involving magnetic fields (and other stuff a la "The Phillidelphia Experiment") and that is what brought down the planes (s), healed Locke's legs, made whatever it is romping around the island invisible, etc. The injection like you suppose is to counteract the machine and the fields it produces.

But, who/what brought these specific people together on the island? Chance/fate, God, or some man/organization.

Whoa, when Walt appeared in front of Shannon in the jungle, he spoke something. Turns out he was speaking backwards:

"Press the button, no button's bad."

this is the weirdest show ever aired.

That I guess might be good, those are Hurly's (un)lucky numbers..

Did you catch what he said when ending the conversation? See you in another life-

Great show.

Yeah, me too. I thought it was sawyer.

If the guy was training for a race around the world (I know this was a bullshit answer but he was still training for living in a hatch somewhere), then how did he end up manning an underground station and why is he still working out as hard as he was?

Given the retro look of all the amenities, I figured it was a flashback to maybe the Doc's Dad.

Locke is pissing me off. He could easily ducked and let Jack shoot the guy. Locke's got a screw loose.

Locke couldn't do that, because he knows that Jack's a pussy and would never pull the trigger. I've been hating Jack since the last 4 episodes of season one - I'm apparently going to hate him this season as well.

Well, those things don't last forever. Plus with that cable from the first season (internet) he could have ordered them online and had them delivered.

Very astute observations...........makes more sense to me now.

Any guesses as to the flashback era?

Jack seemed to be doing his surgical residency when he met Desmond. So that means Desmond arrived on the island after that (maybe). I'm guessing that Jack did his residency less than 10 years ago.

But the desktop terminal and the reel-to-reel systems gave it a late 80s/early 90s look at the latest. Combined with the music I thought they were trying to give the impression that it was a 70s era installation.

Like everything else, it's confusing as hell.

Great episode! It exceeded my expectations. Seeing Walt there in the dark was freaky.

Posted: 9/22/2005 5:23:42 AM EDT

[#21]

I have the episode on my DVR and I watched the opening sequence quite a few times.

I watched Desmond typing in slow motion and I'm 99% sure that he typed "the numbers" into the keybord.

I also wathced him inject himself and paused to see what the bottle said and didn't even notice "the numbers". good eyes

That washer and dryer were definitely new.

Did anyone see what looked like a big window above his dining area? It seemed like there was sunlight coming in through the blinds. But they blew the hatch at night? And why is he doing his morning routine when it is night out.

I wonder if there is another way in and out of the whole complex. That looked like fresh fruit in the blender.

Mak and an AK

10 round mag

Definitely filming in Hawaii or Kali.

I dont think they would have let a resident perform the surgery Jack did.

So far so good, I'm hooked again!

Some of you guys have made some really good observations which is helping me understand more about what I'm seeing.

During the first 5 minutes when they showed that guy doing his morning routine I was wondering if I had it on right channel...

Crap - I missed the first 5 minutes. Seems like I missed a lot. I was busy working on something outside and figured the first 5 minutes would be a recap anyway.

A few questions.

1. What's up with the voices? My wife's theory is that the island has speakers everywhere.

2. Are the people in the boat related in anyway to Desmond? There was a bunk bed in the sheltor afterall. I think that they aren't together, but i think that Ethan was the other person in the sheltor.

3. Anyone else think that Locke is gonna lose it & become a bad character?

I'm so confused.

Wow... last night's show was just "weird". LOVED IT! Even more weird than anything that went on last year. I also watched "Invasion". I didn't mean to, cause I don't wanna be hooked on more than one show. But I watched it. I may be hooked on that one too. Me thinks that the Sheriff is an alien and is happy that his wife just "converted"...

So, what was the skeleton? Is it the remains of one of the humans after the aliens got done with them?

+1000. Invasion sucked ass. I loved how it is supposed to be set in Homestead FL...not. Looks nothing like FL. NOTE TO DIRECTORS...FLORIDA IS FLAT...ESPECIALLY MIAMI/HOMESTEAD AREA!

There was a scene at the end of the show showing the park ranger standing in his front yard looking down the driveway. At the end of the driveway you can see a steep pine tree covered mountain rising up like a tree covered wall. Sorry, too many BS things to make it remotely watchable.

Back to LOST. When Jack went down the shaft, did anyone notice that the sneakers that he saw were relatively new cross trainers? Definately not a product of the 70's or 80's.

Thanks.

I did catch the "see you in another life" quote. As soon as he said that I knew that Desmond was the guy in the first five minutes.....

I dunno what it was. Weird stuff for sure. It's not as cool as "Lost", but I am still curious enough to be interested a little bit.

And yeah, I will agree that the acting in "Invasion" seems sub-par, but for me it's like watching a mystery and I am curious to see what happens next. Which is THE VERY SAME thing most people want out of "Lost".

Anyways... I guess we'll let the "Lost" detail fanatics continue on with their discussion. I don't look TOO deep at details (like tennis shoe/washer-drier vintages) because I'm unsure whether it was purposeful or a stupid oversight. I soak in the overall "experience", rather than play Sherlock Holmes.

Most things like that in Lost are done on purpose to advance the storyline.

As for the fresh fruit, I think there's another entrance. If you notice when they blow the hatch, Desmond jumps up and starts checking the entrance through the mirrors.. then he turns and checks another set of mirrors? Maybe another entrance? What was that thing mounted to the ceiling that he was point? Was that the light?

As for the key thing, what was on the wall that Jack looked at when his key started moving? Any guesses as to what's in the buckets?

Another thought I had last night:

Based on Desmond's routine (i.e. waking up at night/ night shift)....I imagine he is/was not alone in the hatch/shelter. I don't know if the pirates are with him or not though......

Walt said "don't push the button" which is what Jack was getting ready to do (push EXECUTE) when Locke stopped him.

Also, when Locke went into the hatch why didn't he pick up Kate's flashlight? He didn't have a torch and the three that were topside were still there when Jack got there.....

Posted: 9/22/2005 7:15:39 AM EDT

I thought he said "press the button" not don't press. Anyone?

Yeah my bad....went back to page three and found what 'raven' posted.

I guess Jack should've pushed EXECUTE....I imagine Shannon will end up in the hatch and press a button, but right now everybody thinks shes crazy.

Why was Walt saying it backwards though....it was so fast and so low that I couldn't even make out a thing....

I was thinking maybe after Desmond took Kate, he made Locke come down. Something like "get down here or the girl dies". He knew Locke was up there since he was yelling for Kate.

It shows an old computer screen (black screen with green text) with a DOS blinking. A guy gets out of a bunk and types on the computer, takes a shower, fixes a protein shake (we never see his face), plays an old record of the Mamas and the Papas, injects himself in the arm with some type of serum (the bottle has the "numbers" on it) and then hears a BOOM!! He runs over to a table and grabs a WASR with 10 rounder

and then goes to the "hallway" to look through a viewfinder in which he has mirrors placed down different paths....the camera follows a path to a mirror and up a shaft to where Locke and Jack are looking down it (b/c they just blew the lid off).

ETA: I first thought it was a Sawyer flashback....if you look up a few posts you can download the episode via bit-torrent if you want to see it for yourself.

My take was that it's not the inside that is quarantined, it's the outside.
