[5Cats]

Man I Love this show!
I downloaded the whole first season (because I'd only seen a couple episodes) an now am following the second season. Is tres cool non?

I mean the logo on the tail of the shark in s2e02 is fantasitic! Writing is what its all about! And Lost has that in spades, eh? This is as good as it gets friends, and you miss it at your loss...

There's so much hidden stuff on this show, it's quite amazing. From the obvious (characters passing each other in the flashbacks) to the little. I don't know where you guys are in watching (have you seen either of the new episodes this season?), so I won't say in case of spoilage.

I finally watched all of Se1 as well. I'd seen a couple shows when they were broadcast, but missed most of the season.
So far in Se2 they spent most of ep1 going into the hatch. Very fun! Lots of adventure! Those numbers appear yet again.
Ep2 dealt mostly with the raft survivours, very funny! And like I say the logo (from the bunker) on the shark is eerie & scary! Michael & Sawyer drift back to the island, find Qin who is being chased by "the others" Oooo!

[5Cats]

Hee hee.
On Tuesday, two weeks ago, I was in Plum Coulee Manitoba (everyone find THAT on a map!) in a thrift shop and the song Make Your Own Kind Of Music by the Mamas and The Papas http://www.lyricsdownload.com/the-ma...ic-lyrics.html came on over the radio. Hadn't heard that tune in a while, real 60's stuff!
So Season 2 Episode 1 comes on, and what song do they play? Twice? On a record player! Oooo! Cue the tilight zone music!
Yes, there is a working record player in the bunker, mwaaa hahaha!

[5Cats]

Hummm, S2E3 was kinda dull, by comparison, eh?
I mean, they spent a lot of time just yakking in the bunker, and Lock's flashbacks were so-so. Also, who didn't know that the girl was Alex? Like DUH! It's the oldest trick in the book, the fake prisoner, eh?
Quite a crowd on the island, at least 4 "others", the crew of the boat, the Crazy French woman, the Crazy Bunker guy, Alex, 40 people from flight 815... missing anyone?

Season 2 - Episode 1
The episode begins with someone waking up and going through a normal morning routine (breakfast, workout, dishes, etc.). He turns on a record player (Mama Cass' "Make your own kind of music"), does something on a really old computer (most likely an Apple II) and then grabs a vial of some golden liquid and injects it into himself with an injection gun. Suddenly an explosion happens off camera and the man quickly turns off the lights & music, grabs a shotgun and pulls a telescope down from the ceiling. From the telescopes POV we see it follows a series of mirrors intentionally set up so that anyone looking through the telescope can see the hatch opening.

The Flashback is focused on Jack. The time appears to be while he was a resident, maybe mid to late 90s. Jack is on call as ER surgical consultant when two victims from a car accident come in. For some reason never explained, Jack is the only doctor available and must choose which patient to save, the male patient or the female one. He chooses the lady and the other patient dies. Observant watchers will note that the other driver (a) was declared dead at 8:15 and (b) was most likely Shannon's father. The lady is Sarah (Jack's future ex-wife) and while Jack saves her life, it looks like she is going to be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of her life. Later, in her hospital room, Jack informs Sarah of her condition. He also states some medicalbabble about something leaking and he'll need to operate on her again. While in there he'll try to fix her spine but it probably won't work. Jack's dad has watched this whole scene and in the hallway berates Jack for his lack of bedside manner.
In his office, Jack informs Sarah's fianc?e of her condition. Upon hearing that Sarah won't be able to have sex anymore and will need help going to the bathroom, Sarah's fianc?e promptly needs to "go to the bathroom" himself and never comes back. This enrages Jack and, in the operating room just before Sarah goes to sleep, he tells her he's going to cure her.
Later Jack is doing that horrible exercise where you run up & down the steps of a stadium. Someone else starts running the next aisle over and when Jack trips, the other runner comes over to help him. The runner, with his Scottish accent, introduces himself as Desmond and says he's training for a race around the world. Desmond eventually gets Jack to spill the beans on what's bugging him and Jack tells him about Sarah and that the operation actually had little chance of working. Desmond gives a big speech that essentially boils down to "have some faith Jack", then leaves.
Sarah wakes up and finds Jack sitting next to her. Jack tells her that the surgery failed but she doesn't believe him because she's wiggling her toes. Jack does that happy crying thing. End flashbacks.

In the main story, Jack and Hurley talk the others out of going down the hatch right away. Since the ladder is broken off 10 feet down there's no safe way to get to the bottom and there's no safe way to lower everyone into the hatch before the others arrive. The group heads back to the cave. On the way, Hurley informs Jack about the curse of the numbers, but Jack laughs it off and is more curious about Hurley having been in a psychward.
Back at the caves, Charlie informs everyone about Delenn... I mean Rousseau... being a nut job and that no "others" are coming.
Shannon realizes that Vincent the dog is missing and she runs off into the woods looking for him, with Sayid chasing after her. They eventually see Vincent, but he runs off again before they can grab him. In the chase Shannon gets separated from Sayid and starts to panic, realizing she's alone and lost in the woods at night. The weird whispering starts and suddenly she can see Walt! Walt is wet and shivering and whispering something but you can't understand what he says (unless you're good with technology and realized he was talking backwards). Sayid shows up and Walt disappears.
Back at camp, Shannon tells everyone about seeing Walt, but most dismiss it except for Sun who gets worried that something has happened to the raft. The hatch group returns and Jack lets everyone in on the hatch. Jack tells everyone to stay at the cave and in the morning they'll decide what to do. Just as he says that, Locke walks onto the scene with about 50 ft. of cable from the plane and an "I'm going now." A few minutes later, Kate informs Jack that she's following Locke and takes off too.
At the hatch, Locke talks Kate into going down first since she's lighter and he's stronger. Their pulley system doesn't work well and when one of the trees they have the wire wrapped around breaks, Kate is in freefall until Locke is able to brace himself against the opening of the hatch. The sudden jerking is enough for Kate to drop her flashlight. She?s about to ask Locke to pull her up but he starts lowering her again before she can. Kate suddenly hears a door opening and closing and a light turns off and then back on. She tells Locke about it and before they can decide what to do, a bright light shoots up out of the hatch. Suddenly the wire is being dragged into the hatch. Locke tries to fight it but doesn't do to well until the light goes off and suddenly the wire?s coming up easily, because Kate's not tied to it anymore.
Back at camp, Jack decides that he?s going to the hatch to get Locke and Kate to come back and, oh yeah, he?s bringing a gun along with him. When he gets to the hatch, he finds no one there and the wire trailing down into the hatch. Jack climbs down and at the bottom, Jack sees a mirror with a light (currently off) aiming at it. He takes out his gun and goes down the corridor (through an already open door). He looks around and notices things that are incidental (at least so far). He gets to a mural painted on the wall and studies that long enough for fanatics of the show to get a screen capture of it to study. Jack looks around some more and as he gets to one part of a wall, the key to the gun case that?s around his neck starts being pulled towards the wall. Jack hears a whirring noise and looks up to see a something like a camera lens or a small mirror moving. Jack starts moving to look at it but then Mama Cass starts singing loudly again as a bright light comes on. Shaken, Jack moves so he?s hiding behind a support post. While hiding, Jack looks to his left and sees some old computer equipment (including banks of reel to reel memory tape). He notices the Apple II and stares at the screen (the computer does not use the standard DOS command prompt, but the emoticon for ?devil?). Jack?s about to start pressing some buttons on the keyboard when the music suddenly stops and Locke says, ?I wouldn?t do that.?
Jack whirls around to point his gun at Locke. He asks where Kate is but before he can get an answer, a voice with a Scottish brogue yells for him to put his gun down. Jack refuse and the voice reveals that he?s standing behind Locke with a shotgun and again tells Jack to drop his gun. They go back and forth, including the Scottish voice firing a shot up into the ceiling to show Jack his gun works. The voice then says for Jack to lower his gun again and steps into the light enough for Jack to recognize that it?s Desmond.
