I know hat you’re saying GK, but MIB sounds like a terrible person. The way he talks to people, kills people, ya know, bad stuff. If MIB is this bad, wouldn’t Jacob be a good/better guy?

I know exactly what you’re saying though. There’s gotta be a huge twist coming up. It’s just that MIB seems truly evil as of right now..

i myself was wondering what the point of the alt time line was.

Well my first thought was that it must be necessary otherwise we wouldnt be seeing it. i think that we wont discover its importance until the last few moments of the series.

i reckon though at the moment, the alt time line is just showing that events would have happened the same way off the island as they did on it ie. Jacks dad goes missing, Charlie gets saved by Jack etc etc.

The more i think about Jacob the more I think we are having the wool pulled over our eyes about something.

The main thing that disappointed me is that the episode wasn’t in HD in my HDTV. The visuals were slightly grainy and the audio had buffy blips and bumps (lack of professional words, sorry) here and there.

Does anyone find it strange that if Jacob was the spirit of the island, why he resided in a staute that depicts a feminine deity that symbolizes fertility? Yet his tapestries where all about masculinity (Hourus, Anubus, Homer’s Odessy)?

WEll put. I think that they are showing what life is like had they never crashed because there is going to be some sort of occurance that all of the important losties will be involved in.

WE will see exactly why they were chosen in the alt no crash time line

Okay, but in the alt timeleine the island is flooded, and Christian & Locke’s knives, I believe are somehow on it.

Exactly. I hate it when the writers do that. It’s like the guitar case. Hurley was asked what was in it by someone (forgot who). If this show was real, he would have responded with something like: “I don’t know. It’s some large, weird shaped wooden design cut out thing.” Or if he knew what it was, he’d say “It’s an ankh.”

He wouldn’t just ignore a question like that. I made a post about this a while back. It’s like the writers are stroking their egos sometimes. They need to quit making it so obvious that they’re purposely keeping the audience in the dark. Time’s running out for them to keep doing that.

I thought the temple was really well done as a set peice, and the two new characters there seem engaging. The “healing water” was interesting, and so was MIB/smokie. Everything else in this episode needs to find ground soon though.

The first 45 minutes was pretty much terrible in my eyes. I thought there was over-acting to the max (Sawyer and a few others), still poor CGI (wish they’d fix this), sappy moments that I wasn’t in the mood for. I didn’t wait 8 months to see Juliet waste a few minutes by NOT finishing an important sentence with Sawyer.

I’m a critic, what can I say. It’s like being a fan of a team though. If they’re not playing well, you get kind of pissed and you express it.
