More like 12 hours! :)

Three Minutes Lost Discussion



Hello all! Late as usual. L I had a Brownie graduation to facilitate and I was scrubbing the frosting off carpet at 9pm so I watched Lost later that night. The kids were late to school because I had to re-watch it this morningthus the delay in the discussion. Not so much solved, instead more questions. I am not even sure how to organize this episode. I think I will go step by step and we can discuss along the way



I was so mad that the previews of the Others was really a short flashback for Michael. I thought they were really going to interface with them. I just had a whole crazy theory I just deleted about the date stampblah, blah, blah. But the caption is to show us what else was happening on the island and the flashbacks are just memories that the Lost people are having. Perhaps we dont get a date stamp so that we cannot figure out when all this is happening, or as some think, those are implanted memories and connections.



I loved the story Echo chose to tell Michael. I think he knows something is up but his button mission is too important so he lets it go. He wont even leave to get his things. His church mission allowed Charlie to focus on something else and get past his demons. Although not built, Echo had completed that mission. Remember, Echo asked Charlie to help him. Being the only one besides Sawyer who would speak to him at that time. He gave Charlie a mission and renewed faith in himself.



Cant skip over Sawyers lines: Captain Arab and I screwed her. You what? We got caught in the net. I liked how Sawyer was sensitive this episode. Of course this means he will over compensate next time and be an ass. But it was nice. I LOVE Sayid, new favorite. He knew right away Michael was plotting. Not sure why it wasnt more obvious why he would want Kate to go instead of Sayid??? Duh!



Some quick connections: Miss Klugh was the woman in Echos black smoke vision. Some say she was also on the healers wall unconfirmed. When Miss Klugh said, For someone who wants his son so badly, you dont seem to know him at all. Same thing the lawyer said to him when he lost custody. Alex is Rousseaus daughter.



Question about Others

I thought it was interesting that Pickett shot at Michael first. Zeke stopped him, but if he knew they needed him, why shoot at him. I dont think they were expecting him, it was Walt sending the messages. They were holding him underground but let him out from time to time. We see Zeke back in costume. Either him and the other one are twins, or maybe some of the Others are part of the experiment and some are not. I noticed the similarities between Pickett and Sawyer. (See you in the funny papers, so your Walts old man, country twang in voice). There are other important people but these 4 have been focused on. They must have known by viewing the hatch that they were coming with guns to find Michael. It seemed like Alex has a problem with this whole experiment thing. She was nice to Claire and assures Michael that his friends wont be hurt, they are just scaring them away. They knock him out so he doesnt see what else happens. They want Henry back probably because he was getting to close to Locke. He even said that they would kill him if he said anything. I am not sure what side Henry is on. I dont think he is on the side of the Others anymore.



Question about Walt

I think there are several things going on with Walt.



Good Walt: I think Walt was tying to send a message to Michael but Michael was too desperate to listen. Walt told his dad to calm down. He asked about Vincent (which is strange how Vincent knew to bring the statues to Charlie and not someone else psychic link). Walt said they make me take tests. He almost sounded apologetic. I think more to measure, understand and control his abilities rather than to hurt him. All the questions from Klugh about seeing Walt where he shouldnt be. We have seen this in Shannons visions. I think they are using Walt on the survivors. They are running tests on him by having him run tests on them. I believe Walt knows Michael is going to die and was telling him he loved him as a good bye. Walt kept saying Dont leave me Dad. He was trying to tell Michael not to go get Henry and do what he was about to do. If he just stayed and didnt get Henry.then what? They said he would never see his son again. Not that they would kill him or Walt. So many undertones and double meanings. And the room?!? What does the room make Walt do? It didnt sound like a punishment for him, but rather a punishment to those he loves. They wouldnt hurt him, remember.



Bad Walt: I dont get into the commercials, websites, phone numbers stuff that goes along with the show (Hanso Foundation). But there was a common clue that runs through all of them and I think on the map somewhere? Heir Apparent -one whose succession especially to a position or role appears certain under existing circumstances. So perhaps it is Walt running things. He may not have control of his powers so he is not in control yetbut he will be. He is still a kid with a lot of power. When he was being taken away, it was more of him trying to stay but understanding why he was being carried away. I am thinking there is something else up with Walt. Why is he still in the old clothes from the plane crash. Why not at least change him. I thought he was just a vision but when he touched him he was real. But he didnt run up right away to see him. Only after his dad kept saying he would do anything to get him out of there.



And when he said they arent who they say they are, theyre pretending. Does he mean the others or potentially someone else at the camp? Could it be our fearless four? We know Sawyer is pretending, Kate on the run, Hurley in a mental institution. Or maybe he was telling us what we already assumed. That the Others are pretending and are really the scientists.



Questions in General

Miss Klugh never asked Michael to kill anyone. Just to make up a story. But she must have known because she said, They will be angry enough to follow you.



Why Kate, James, Hugo, Jack. Michael said to Jack, Only those that already know. Know what??? Sayid saw Henry, everyone was at the funeral. Echo and Locke were off to track down Henry because of the shooting. So why them? I see some connections but to me, Hurley is the odd choice. Except his connection to the numbers. The running theory is that because they all had visions of people or things while they were awake, that is why they were chosen. Some others think the whole dad thing. I dont have a clue. I think it is more of their similarities to the Others. Zeke & Jack play similar roles, Pickett & Sawyer, Alex & Kate, not sure how Hugo fits in. Miss Klug reminds me more of Echo or possibly Locke. Hugo is the key to figuring this out. And why ask by their first and last name? Why not Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Hurley. That is what they are called in the hatch. Its not the manifest because Ethan never got it. Kate and Sawyer were suppose to be on that flight but Jack and Hugo got lucky (Jack didnt have the right papers for the casket and Hurley didnt fit). Also Sawyer had been going by that name for yearsnot hard to believe he had fake identification. What is so important about those four but excludes Charlie, Claire, Sayid and Locke? I see the connections between Sawyer, Jake, Katebut not Hurley.



Conclusion

The boat at the end is Desmonds that he used to sail around the world. This is where we see the return of Desmond, hopefully what happened to his partner, and how Libby fits into all this. Also notice the stock pile of tubes that were suppose to carry the journals.? Of course Jack finds them instead of Echo and Locke who would know instantly what it means. Saw the explosion that throws Charlie curious to see what it does to Locke and Echo. Does Echo make it out or is he caught in the door like Henry. Who is Sawyer shooting at? Who dies?!?! I think the black smoke had something to do with the plane coming down. But Desmond would have pushed the button so it was not his fault. It gives more evidence that it does nothing. If not pushing it made the plane come downwhy was Desmond still there pushing it when they found him? Questions, questions, questions!!!! See ya next weekhopefully for the answers!
