That was fun! [In reply to] Can't Post

Nice about the 77 dilemma. I wonder if the numbers people will find any significance in the numerical commands?

I was shocked when the Russian shot the kidnapper woman. Too bad, in a way, she was a good baddie.

So, do we think all the Dharma people are dead?

Is the cat real?

Lost - Spoilers [In reply to] Can't Post

Bye, bye Miss Klugh! Darn, I was looking forward to her being back in this episode and leaning more about her. I guess it wasn't mean't to be. Anyone speak russian? I only assume that was russian because Mikael was a soviet. I was thrilled when Kate punched her lights out though! Tough girl Kate is back.

Found a translation of the Russian Dialouge [In reply to] Can't Post

Klugh: Mikhail. Mikhail! You know what to do.
Mikhail: We still have another way [out].
Klugh: We cannot risk. You know the conditions.
Mikhail: There is another way.
Klugh: They captured us. We will not give (or let, or betray) [unintelligible].
Klugh: You know what to do. It is an order.
Mikhail: We still have another way!
Klugh (in English): Just do it, Mikhail.
Mikhail: Forgive me. (shoots)

I dont know how reliable the translation is. Got it from lostpedia.com.

I love LOST [In reply to] Can't Post

Here's what's written on the paper, according to some dude on The Fuselage:

.. were lost in his country, and they must
...by force and, if necessary, through complete social
(break)
...in some way pushed away Andrei (underlined). Nadji was not
... Afghan resistance, however he was an excellent
... He was a second cousin of an influential
... who controlled one of the north-western
... specialist, who helped
... mojahedins used against Soviet
... Nadji made up for [lack of] courage with intelligence and
... fundamentalist. As all radicals of that time, Nadji
... his medrese believed that they were holding back the West and...
... preparing the road for Allah, so he could wipe the unbelievers off the face of the earth
whereas Andrei thought, that the fall of Afghanistan will become an impulse to...
... [worldwide] social revolution
... 'Pakistanis arrived today', Nadji said in grandiloquent Russian with a strong accent.
... We knew that ISI would be involved in this.
... say this?' Andrei knew that
... 'I thought that you...

ISI is Pakistani intelligence. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-S...s_Intelligence
Nadji is short for President Najibullah, the president of Afganistan at the time.

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed, to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

Lost almost lost me two weeks ago [In reply to] Can't Post

I've hated the whole Others torture stuff since the beginning of this season. Jack, Kate and Sawyer are not my favorite characters. I really didn't care about the backstory about Jack's tattoos. A friend and I were talking at work about that episode and decided we didn't really like it, but since we have no life we would probably keep watching. Well, last night brought me back. I really liked last night's show and Sayeed's flashbacks. Then again, Sayeed and Locke are my favorite characters. Though I don't understand why John didn't hear my yelling at the TV to not press 77.

Learn new boards. "Sticky" is not an admonishment to a tornsib named Sticky.

I was a bit surprised [In reply to] Can't Post

that Locke didn't figure out what would happen if he followed those instructions. But it was certainly in Locke's character to do so — after all, he was the one who was so insistent that they keep pressing the button in the hatch. And, IIRC, I don't think Sayid and Kate ever had a chance to tell him that the house was wired with explosives. I wonder what Locke thought would happen.

I'm sure the cat's real, but I doubt if we'll see it again; it was just there to trigger Sayid's flashbacks.

Locke's "faith"? and Dharma [In reply to] Can't Post

Yes, I don't think Sayiid mentioned the explosives (and my husband was annoyed he didn't cut the wires to it!), but I agree with you that Locke anticipated the consequences of 77 anyway. I just think he was putting his faith the the Dharma people. He knows the Others are bad and the Dharma people didn't lead him astray about the "old" computer so he was going to trust and obey on this one.

So, if The Others were here before Dharma, were they responsible for the supernatural nature of things or was that a Dharam experiment gone wrong? I wonder who/what brings just the right props for all of these passengers here? They seem to be working for the good of the castaways, and I think we can rule that out as being something in character for the Others.

Was Mikhail telling the truth when he said that? If he lied about being one of the others, he could have lied about that too.

I'm glad to see Danielle back, and I enjoyed the Sawyer/Hurley interaction. It's interesting that Hurley always seems to get the best of Sawyer.

Why did she want to die? [In reply to] Can't Post

Why was it so important for them to kill themselves? For a second i thought that it was a trick and she didn't really die. I'm disapointed too. She was a very interesting character, and that's from watching only a few of with her.

Anyone else think of Gollum? [In reply to] Can't Post

Near the end where Danille says that they should get rid of the prisoners or he'd kill them all, it reminded me of Frodo, Sam and Gollum.

Of course he knew. [In reply to] Can't Post

There were Dharma logos all over the place, and the guy on the computer was the same one he saw in the training film in the hatch. That's why he obeyed the instruction — it was the same guy who told him how important it was to push the button.

I think SS meant Locke didn't know that the Russian wasn't Dahrma [In reply to] Can't Post

Locke didn't seem to know that the Russian was "a hostile." Why would he type in 77? Was he thinking of himself as a hostile? Or did he consider the Others as the hostiles? Did he suspect the Russian? Just curious?

Oh! Well... [In reply to] Can't Post

The Russian told him that there had been a war between the Dharma people and the Others (which he called "hostiles"), and that the hostiles had killed everyone but him. I think that would constitute being attacked by "hostiles," as far as Locke was concerned.

Because she knew Sayid and Kate would try to get information out of her. She couldn't risk it.
