What Kate Did

That was soooooo cool! I liked the way we finally have the answers to the Tallies and can now focus on the real mysteries of the island.

Loved this episode!!!!! I was on the edge of my seat just like the first time. I do however think they cheated by the whole "extended episode" and then used it up just showing us what we already knew in fast forward.

I think above everything else the message in this episode is how most people are totally wrong with their stupid theories. It seems that the island makes more sense then we have given it credit. 2 separate groups came to the same conclusions, same type of mini civilization. (there was a plant in each group, no one is looking for them, stay away from the Others.) Although our main group have more answers, they both know basically the same thing.

I liked how time was used to illustrate how misconceptions can be created. Echo was nicely groomed, in a business suit, but given some time his hair is overgrown and he has shed most of his clothes. Same with Ana Lucia. She seemed like such a bad *ss with her sleeveless leather jacket....and now we see she just cut off the sleeves due to the heat. By the way..Echo is probably a minister. His need for prayer, he paused while looking at the bible, his need to pull the bodies out of the water and lay them to rest, his remorse over having to kill in self-defense. Ana Lucia was at one time in the military or police I think. That will come out eventually. She also obviously had a child, she might have given up for adoption? Too many connections - Claire, Michael with not wanting their children.

Free flowing thoughts:

Ana Lucia's comment last week about, "This time, this one's on you." to Echo. Perhaps regret over Nathan and her wrongly thinking he was an Other and leading to his death by Goodwin.

I think the most important thing discovered tonight is the Others look, speak and can act just like them and Goodwin said, "the kids are fine, they are in a better place." Not too mention, "Nathan was bad...that's why he WASN'T on the list." Walt burned down the raft because he didn't want to leave the island. Why does he, Locke and the Others think this place is a Utopia?? What is Walt really trying to convey?

I am back to my thought of a split in time. I think on the island, time is not linear. When the others were walking last week, the kids were not being held against their will. Why are they in different brown clothes but Walt in his visions is still in his plane clothes? I think that is the biggest clue. If he is with the Others, why is he not dressed like them as the other children were (brown pant leg dragging teddy bear on a string)?

I think we are going to have to wait on answers and just enjoy the merging of the 2 groups next week. I can't wait to see Bernard/Rose and Jin/Sun reunite. Also how Locke and Echo will relate to one another...and the whole Jack/Kate/Sawyer thing...with a dash of Ana Lucia from the bar.

Side note: The voices lead each group to one another......possibly a set-up from the Others? Leading Ana Lucia to shoot Shannon in supposed self-defense...they obviously can attack and get them at any time....I don't think they want them.

Abandoned

Hey all! I love this show!!!

What we learned...thoughts..and theories...

We learned that Shannon's father was the man that Jack's future wife hit in the car accident - he of
course saving her and eventually marrying her. (Did you see Jack walk by when the doctor turned and
walked toward Shannon and her step-mom). I think this was mentioned earlier but we received confirmation tonight.

Walt I think was saying to Shannon in the tent, "Shannon, don't follow me". I am not sure if Walt
is dead or if he is with the others and sending messages back to them. Addition: Just found the audio played
backwards (I suck...what do you expect?!? It was backwards!) Anyway he says: "they're coming, they're their close."
There is a faint dog bark in the background meaning that he was in the forest in the rain warning Shannon of this moment.
Was he warning them about Ana and the group or the others??? In the forest, he is just telling her o Shhh!

The others must look like normal people for Ana to have shot Shannon. Or perhaps she was just trying to
shut her up? Actually the growing theory is that she wasn't the one who shot Shannon. That is was the French Lady (bigger gun, notice the gunshot sound was loud) and maybe Ana shot the dog (because it was low to the ground, running fast, kind of like the wild boars). Remember Ana said that "one bullet wouldn't stop them." So why would she try? Shannon was also screaming Walt's name and Ana knows about Walt.

I don't trust the psychologist either (Cindy)....she should have known her friend wasn't behind her. Something is off with her.

Lots of parallels between Echo for the Tallies group and Lott for the main group. Could be interesting to see them together.

But below is my theory on the whole Walt and Whispers thing:

I always thought that time shift is a major factor on the island. I think that things shift sideways or jump forward.

An example would be the first view of the hatch with Desmond and he is clean and it is bright and fresh. Then the alarm and he is scruffy and the place is leaking water.

Another is Walt...always dripping wet in his visions to Shannon and his recent sighting in the rain when she is shot, warning her.
Could his speech be backwards because he is moving backwards through time? When time catches up, and they see him he will speak normally.

Back to the whispers, I think the whispers are them...all of them. Speaking to each other in another dimension to time. If you try to make out what they are saying...some of the words sound like normal conversation.

I think the "others" know the island because it is them in the future stranded for so long. DOesn't explain everything...but makes a little sense.

That's it for now. Thoughts?
