I'm a fourth year seminary student attempting to balance life, youth ministry, and academics along with preparing to have a child. This is about being in the world but not of the world. I'll talk about everything from the Word of God, my wife, recent books, the Red Sox, Lost, my ministry, interesting insights into our culture, and anything else that runs across my plate.

Observation #1: Jack is pushing Kate away, probably partly because she's been so friendly with Sawyer, partly because of Sawyer's/or her "real" Dad's channeling delirium confession ("I love her"), partly because he can't completely trust her and partly because he doesn't want to set himself up to love/be hurt. Or he could just be shy. ;)
Observation #2: So much for my theory that the kidnapping boat people were only working/appeasing "The Others". Wrong on that one!
Observation #3: I bet the tail-enders landed close to The Others' base (North)and that is why they were being killed. Apparently the main group on the South coast is OK if they don't wander too closely to the North (at least for now).
Dad's Observation: The Others don't have weapons, which is why they have employed the tactics they have. Now, conveniently, Jack and Kate have provided them with some.
Observation #4: Jack is too rash, too quick to act, which is good in an immediate emergency, but not so good in the long run. He doesn't think things through. He feels responsible for the impossible...maybe even feels like he can DO the impossible. (As the surgergy back story demonstrated...he can't.) He needs to learn to forgive himself and others for not being perfect.
Observation #5: Libby and Hurley? She's old enough to be his mother, isn't she!? [Not that age is necessarily a bad thing, mind you...;)]
Question: Are The Others part of the bunker experiment (directly or indirectly)? Or were THEY shipwrecked here earlier(raggy clothes, no guns)? Are THEY the carriers of whatever it is the bunker guy thought was contagious? Are THEY why you NEVER communicate on the computer? Obviously, they lured Michael out to find Walt. And...Walt "is an interesting child", huh? Also, obviously they have a video feed...they know everyone by sight and name, as well as what they're doing. Someone should find a "bug" in the bunker soon, I expect.
Interesting contrast developing between Jack and John. John is "Mr. Pluralistic-believe/do whatever you want-there is no right/wrong except for you as an individual" and Jack is "Mr. One Right Way-Everybody do what I say...NOW".
Oh, the guy who brought out the bound Kate was named the same as Rousseau's lost child.
Real quick....
The Others DO have guns. They shot Sawyer, remember?
Ian
Yeah, Michael went commando, I really want to know what else he typed, and what "Walt" was writing. They have to have cameras in every room in the bunk house. That must be the "others" food supply as well.
I wasn't feeling great Wed. night I almost went to bed! so, I think I may have missed some things due to lack of concetration.
I did pick up on key things.
The others have weapons.
Hurley and Libby???
Jack trusting others/Jack wanting to fix all things. (not always the right way)
I am sure that there are some major things that I missed...
like that person who had Kate, didn't catch it was the same name as Rousseau's son. Was it Alex?
As for Hurley and Libby, I don't think that she is as old as she looks, Yes, she is older but not as old as you think. She has a drinking problem. that will make anyone look older (oh, wait that wasn't on the show it was on the NEWS)! Did anyone else see that? They are afraid it will hurt her character on the show, um...I think it will hurt her character in REAL life! [Annalise was arrested too!]
I know that had nothing to do with the show, just tought it was interesting!
Hopefully I will be back on my game next week when I watch it and I will have a little more input!
Leah and I noticed how different the main guy looked from the spy that was in the group of tailees. some of them look mostly clean cut, others look like people who have been stranded awhile.
does anyone wonder who Jack's wife was cheating on him with?
go hurley
need to look up stuff on Geronimo Jackson. they don't mention something ten times for nothing. that was the name of the group, right?
do the others kidnap children to include them in their schemes and plans? they obviously have a desire to use these kids, and if that person that brough kate forward was crazyfrenchlady's kid, then that would be true.
they probably have a system of tunnels or hiding places since they can move a large amount of people and not been seen by Michael. The guy said that he won't find them if they don't want to be found.
are the others just a group that has learned to use the power of the island to do their work?
I don't think the black cloud is related to them.
Good point on the guns. I did think about that later, but I guess it is possible they have limited ammo. Did they fire more than one shot when the shot Sawyer?
Also- good point on the possibilities of who Jack's wife had been cheating with. You just KNOW it's got to be somebody on the island...Too many people linked to Jack- Shannon's dead father, the guy they found in the bunker who had "met" Jack while jogging, Sawyer "ran into" Jack's Dad in Australia...who else?
Yeah, the guy holding Kate was named "Alex".
As for the group "Geronimo Jackson", I think it's a made up name, and you're right, it will probably be significant sometime. I recognized all the other music they have played or mentioned, and I think I am somewhat familiar with the music of that period, but never EVER heard of "Geronimo Jackson". [Btw, did you see that Wilson Pickett died? I once saw him perform at Springfield College Homecoming, when I was dating a grad student from there. Any of you "young ones" remember "Mustang Sally"?]
You're right about the scruffy "fisherman" VS the cleaner cut infiltrators. Maybe one group are involved in the experiment (military types) and the other group are fellow castaways. And how did the guy they found in the bunker end up there? He was going on a round-the-world trip...he must have been a castaway who somehow got caught up in the "experiment". Before I had thought that he was a part of the experiment, but now I'm thinking he just stumbled into it, like they have. It would be interesting if NO ONE on the island is connected to it and no one knows why or what it was originally about.
i guess the question we have to ask is why these people don't want these people to feel at home on their island? what are they afraid they will do? Is there something they are trying to control/hide/stop something that they will interfere with? They are so intent on protecting the island, and I don't think its just this 'tribal' instinct. there's something they're keeping the people from. that may be why they chased the tailees away from that side of the island while not really bothering the others unless they went running across the island. (chasing after michael) just some thoughts.
OK, a few things....
I like the idea of Jack's wife cheating with Desmond (the guy in the hatch). In the episode in which we first see him in the hatch, there is a quick shot of a photo of him with a woman; Need to go back to see if its Jack's wife. I remember thinking it was a possibility the first time I saw it.
I thought it was interesting that when Jack and his part came across Zeke and his crew that Zeke said, "Don't worry about Michael, he won't find us." Apparently Zeke isn't worried about Michael, so maybe it was really Walt on the computer, no the others trying to lure him. Zeke is, on the other hand, concerned with Jack.
I'm not sure what to think about the relationship between the scruffy boat people and the shaven infiltrators. Could it be that the scruffy people took a shave to better infiltrate the survivors? Or are the scruffies scruffy to hide their true purpose for being on the island? Either way, both groups are taking kids; either in cooperation or competition. In fact, remember how the folks that took the kids from the tailees had a list? Could it be that however they had a list is the same way the scruffies know all about Jack, et al? I personally think they knew who was coming before the plain crashed. Come to think of it, the people that actually made the abductions were pretty scruffy, but we knwo they were working for the infiltrators. Ya' know, I think I've convinced myself that Zeke and his brood (including Alex. How cool was that?!) are from the same group as the infiltrators.
Michael's ramblings were pretty interesting when he was forcing Jack into the arm's room. Exactely what did "Walt" tell him over that computer? He know's something; or, at least he thinks he knows something.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll probably have more later.
Baby @lbum
Vanessa and Jed have chosen the name Geronimo Jackson for their beautiful new son born October 5, 2004 at Sacred Heart Medical Center. Birth Statistics ...
That was the only thing that didn't have anything to do with LOST. anyone else google it, and come up with something different?
Poor kid, what a name!
Oooh...good idea Googling, Jen, though I'm not sure how useful the results were unless "Vaness" or "Jed" are writers/producers on Lost. We should set Doug Wilcox on it. Btw, Tim, can I tell him about this site?
I remember Rousseau talking as if The Others were one group, if she can be believed. She told of their plans to take the baby and Walt. And, now that I think of it, that plume of smoke must have been purposeful. Why? Here they are trying to be underhanded, slippery and hidden...and then they advertise themselves?
Maybe the black smoke was the monster....?
i think the black smoke was the monster, i've sort of assumed that.
and i've already told doug about this site. he emailed me a few weeks back.
Really? That plume of black smoke in the episode where Rousseau stole the baby was the monster? Maybe I confused you by speaking of an episode from last season. (the inherent problem of my watching all episodes in the same year!)
Well, Rousseau was the one that said the black smoke meant the Others were coming. But when she stole Claire's baby, she was the one who set the big fire on the beach (making the big plume) to try to lure the Others (by recreating a sign/symbol?) so that she could give them Claire's baby and hopefully get her kid back. So, we can't be sure that the real black smoke that Rousseau was referring to came from a fire like the one she set, or if that was simply the best she could do to simulate it. The only other black smoke we've ever seen was the monster. So, when I said that the black smoke was the monster, I wasn't really referring to Rousseau's plume, but the smoke she was trying to simulate.
I completely missed that Rousseau had set the fire. Talking with Tim last night I realized I had ALSO completely missed his saying that "Geronimo Jackson" is a real band. Good thing we have each other! ;)
