Did anyone else notice the images from Eko's past in the "smoke" when the camera moved through it? I wonder if "it" is taking things from the people it encounters, or showing them something (or maybe both). Taking thoughts/memories? Some of the noises it makes sound like some of the things we've heard on the show; the plane tearing up/crash, Walts game when he was sitting in the airport, things like that. Previous theories on some of the Lost message boards have the black smoke as some kind of nanobot technology. I haven't come to any conclusions about it myself. Anyway, that was a fine episode indeed.[/quote:97439]

I'm not sure, but remember when the Others stole the people from Eko and Ana Lucia's group? The guy who infiltrated their group said that they wanted to take the "good" people. Maybe the smoke (they called it a security system) was looking through Eko's memory to see if he was good or bad? Maybe the Others wanted the "good" people so that they wouldn't get caught by the security system?

Also MICHAEL. . .fuck nutty idiot. You KNOW the OTHERS take kids and corrupt them, but yea - its a good idea to trust that the FIRST TIME someone uses the computer to communicate, your son just so happens to be on the other end of the line.[/b][/color][/quote:e0efd]


its not his son, he is going to go meet what he thinks will be his son but it will be the others and he will end up turning over his weapons to them so now they will be armed

That's what I think too. Didn't the preview say that he took several guns (plural!) and went looking for Walt. That dummy is probably going to arm the whole dang "others" group.

They already have at least one gun. Remember the one that shot Sawyer on the raft? They have at least a gun and a boat.

That's a possibility. On the [url=http://www.thehansofoundation.org/:eeeaf]Hanso Foundation[/url:eeeaf] website it lists "Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence" as one of the Hanso Foundation's projects, so I'm not ruling and alien explanation. It could be anything. oOo:

He could be, but I believe him. The guy that got sucked into the engine caused it to blow, simple as that. angel:

I think -- but of course I could be 100% wrong -- that it's just CGI debris blowing about (from wind possibly, and the engine/s was/were still running sucking/blowing) to add to the feeling of destruction and mayhem.


I'm going to add something unrelated but it could be considered a spoiler if it turns out to be true, so I'll stick it in small text....

There was/is a theory that Jin and Sun are indirectly linked to Dharma via Mr.Paik, Sun's Dad. I can't remember the details (I'll try to find the thread I read it on) but there is an island on the TV monitors in Mr.Paik's office in "In Translation" [url=http://lost-media.com/modules/coppermine/albums/ep-caps/season1/1x17-intranslation/in-translation006.jpg:91a47]link[/url:91a47] and its profile fits that of our island [url=http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/4733/theislandmrpaik7vo.jpg:91a47]link[/url:91a47]. Paik could be an investor in Dharma or something.

But then again, it could be just one of those Lost coincidences; like Hurley on the TV when Jin went to give that "message" to that minister guy. Or Sayid appearing on the TV in the background of the recruitment office when Kate went to see her Dad. Or Hurley’s boss at the fast food place eventually becoming Locke’s boss at the box company (The very same box company that Hurley owns). Who knows?!?!??!

Yeah, doesn't that scene of the turbine exploding happen right after they show a guy get sucked into the turbine?

That thing isnt getting sucked into the engine. It divebombed it, then pulled out. You can clearly see it swooping back up just before the engine blows.
