Alright after tonights eposide I think I understand the whole List Thing from the beginning when Ben handed out the lists of people he wanted. He didn't want anybody who was part of the 70's Dharma group Jack, Sawyer, Kate. It is a us vs them thing. He knows they are doomed anyway they die in the purge so he doesn't want them in the future.

C'mon MikeB, how about some details to back up your words? This was a great set up show, and also answered a lot of questions (sure, as many as it created, but that's the way it always is).

"Daniel is here?" "not anymore" Thats pretty ominous.Anyone else notice the voices on the dock when lapidus and Sun arrived? We saw Christian but was that Smokey that moved the bushes?Was that Christian or Smokey in disguise? I loved the Jack/Sawyer leadership discussion . Its awesome how Sawyer has taken over.Why do i think Sayid is going to try to kill Young Ben?

definitely a setup episode

So I am thinking that Ethan is the baby. The "adam n eve" skeletons are Bernard and Rose. Sayid's purpose is to either kill Ben"not gonna happen" or save/help Ben in the expulsion of the other Darma people

little ben needs to die!!!! he even looks freaky as a kid...those weird eyes all glazed over like that!!! why did sun not get pulled into the past with the other oceanic 6 on the plane...i am trying to figure that one out!!! kudos to sun for whacking the shit out of bens head and kudos to sawyer for puttin jack in his place!!!! watch out juliette.....youre about to lose your man!!!!

Lapidus' co-pilot impaled on tree was awesome. Sun's oar work was perfect! Even young Ben is creepy. How and why did Ethan survive the purge? Which other Dharma members were allowed to live through the purge?

I'm not sure if someone has said this before, but I think that JACOB is an acronym for specific people who have special powers (and possibly become/are leaders) J- John (maybe even james and/or jack) A- Aaron C- Claire/Christian O- unsure of this one... B- Ben

I have a theory about why Sun didn't go to 1977 with the rest of the O6. Remember that Locke said that they "weren't supposed to leave". We know that Juliette, Miles, Sawyer etc. were always "supposed" to g back in time because they've impacted events (such as Ethan being born) which we know happened in 2004. If Sawyer doesn't kill the 2 Others holding Amy, it's very likely that she would have been killed or taken prisoner and never hooked up with Horace and Ethan wouldn't have been born. (Sure she could have escaped or been released or in a million other ways found her way back to the Dharma camp and resumed the time line - but based on what we have been shown it appears that they were preparing to take her captive and presumably killed to provide the justice Richard stated was needed.) Had Sun remained on the island she would have died from the pregnancy and wouldn't have been with the group we now see in 1977. By having her remain in 2007 it seems that the universe is correcting itself and in contrast to Sawyer's encounter with the Others, it's preventing Sun from altering a past she was never intended to be a part of.

I think that the reason some of them went back in time and some of them didn't, was because the conditions weren't the same as what happened in the first crash - namely that Kate left Aaron somewhere in LA. Also, the people who landed in 2007 have no reason to think it's a different year, because probably only Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid experienced the flash of light. I think it's pretty safe to say that Locke is gonna have a key role in reuniting everyone, and setting the island truly back on its proper path.

Could it be possible Sun was the asian baby in the crib at the beginning of the season? Pierre Chang's daughter perhaps and this is why she was transported back in time because there is a Sun already there in 1977. Same for Ben.

Blueberry - I was thinking the same thing. I feel like we might have heard the doctor and wife refer to the baby as "him" at some point though. There's definitely some potential for the fact that Sun was on the island before. Sun's father's corporation/business has some relation to the Hanso Foundation...I'm just no where near smart enough to figure it all out.

I think Dr. Changs baby is Miles due to a conversation Miles had with Faraday earlier in the season.

Come on guys . You can waste 15 minutes or more on Nick's noises but can't do the LOST discussion. This is twice in a row now. I understand Preston being ill and not seeing it but THIS IS THE REASON I'm a P&S fan. These Lost discussions is what hooked me on the P&S show. We have what , 20+ episodes until it's over ? Don't cheat us out of what we can get. I agree with the 8-8:30 time slot as it used to be . Whether you guys think you have anything to add I think we can say a Big Yes . I look forward to heraing your thought and the other listeners who get through. I don't have alot of time to read all the comments here so please get back to the talks.

don't you post the lost chats anymore? I can't listen to it because I'm at work when you do them. i normally listen to them on your site but you haven't posted them in the past 2 weeks.

MikeB. You. Are. Wrong.

I think we ALL agree that you need to have your LOST chats to keep some listeners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whose your boss and how can I get in touch with him?

I beleive Sun didn't go back to the island because she was not contacted by John when he was contacting all the "6". Same with Ben, Ben was not asked to return by John.

In a past episode,does anyone remember someone(a woman) saying to juliette that Ben liked her because she looked so much like "her" I can't remember who.....was it Ethans wife, didn't julette take him from a woman. Juliette had a relationship with him before he died. I thought it was creepy when she was holding him, then found out his name.

There was a video released at comic-con. On it Pierre Chang is trying to record a message. The baby keeps crying in the background. Pierre calls to his wife and says "can you just take him outside." So, I am going with Chang's baby is a boy. Which leads me to Miles. It seems Preston and Steve's Lost chat segments were getting shorter and shorter. If they can't give it the time it deserves, maybe they should skip it.

To jdsd: Juliet didn't have a relationship with Ethan previously, she had a relationship with Goodwin (Goodwin's wife was the Others' resident shrink). It was still super creepy for Juliet to be holding baby Ethan though. And where do we think Faraday went? He was off by himself looking at a little-girl-Charlotte when we last saw him, right? Where did he get to?

The problem is, to BigJay and others who can't wrap their head around it, those things like Ethan shooting Locke and Locke killing one of the 1950's Others (in US military uniforms) DID HAPPEN BEFORE, IT ALWAYS HAPPENED BEFORE, why is it so hard for people to understand WHAT EVER HAPPENED, HAPPENED!

Look guys. I see WAY too much bitching and complaining about the Lost chats on here. They have e-mail addresses posted on this site for that so you can contact the crew about this stuff. This is a place where people ask questions about the show, post theories, and sort out other Island mysteries. I'm sick of every other post being about the damn Lost chats. LOST FAN FROM PILOT#1

thanks jersey jess, i was wrong, it was Goodwin. Was it his wife, though, that said juliette looked so much like "her", and thats why bens keeping her around?

I reread what i wrote about the not liking the bitching about not having the Lost chat on and that this is a site for Lost talk. I AM AN IDIOT!!! I just realized that without solving this problem, there may not be quality listeners left to contribute to this Lost blog. And I do think that I am cool writing that I have been a Lost fan since pilot #1 (what a smuck)

I think the reason Sun did not go back was because her 'proxy' was not re-enacted as the others were. They made a point of having that lady ask Sun if she was okay while on the beach. She replied "I was traveling alone." I do not think anyone on Oceanic 815 was just traveling alone to find their hubby on the island. Soo her proxy failed and landed her with the rest of the people from 316. I knew I recongised Radzinsky's name from somewhere! He was with Kelvin then in the hatch. It will be interesting to see how he and Ethan both escape the purge. I don't think Sayid's "reason for coming back" is to kill little Ben. I'm thinking one of the main title characters is going to bite it. I wonder which one...

I know we should just talk about LOST, but I would really like to add my opinion about P&S. I've been a listener since they were with Marilyn but I am quickly and VERY reluctantly losing touch with them. I became a fan because I always felt that they were all just like me, only funnier. They would talk about the same interests as me and made sci-fi, americana, movies and TV seem cool. When LOST came around and we found out that they were fans also, it ( and the P&S Show) quickly became a focusing point to which fans could gravitate towards. I will say again: Remember when the Philly area was the only place LOST beat American Idol? P&S, Why do you think that happened? I have to admit that I love half-naked girls as much as the next guy, but I seriously don't want to waste time hearing them say, "Come and see me at McFadden's and I'll sign a poster for you." I'm sorry, who are you again...? And really, 45 minutes with Bam and/or Bam's Mother? I'd rather hear Neil DeGrasse-Tyson. At least I'm learning something. I do believe that Nick is the last member of the show who honestly sounds like he knows what is happening on LOST. Thank you, Nick. So, come on, guys, pull it together and do the right thing. Now, according to E! Online, a major character is dying at the end of the season. Someone besides Kate. They reported that the actor "took the news very hard." Who could it be? I'm making a guess at Sawyer. He seemes to be really falling in with the Dharma group and may have finally found a happy home. I say he fights courageously during the Purge and dies a hero. Any other thoughts?

At least I post with my real name, coward. Always has to be one smart assed comment in retort. Probably more to follow. .......and you misspelled schmuck. If you want a pissing match, go somewhere else. I was just trying to alleviate all the bitching and whining on here. If you read this post all of the time, you will see that sifting through the lost chat whining is cumbersome and just like Nick said up top, they have e-mail for complaining to. There have just been like 5,000,000 post this week complaining about the Lost chats and no one has spoken up and said anything about the fact that it does not belong here. I was direct and to the point on my last post. I called no one person out and was not harsh in any way. You obviously have a problem, so you are likely one of the many who post bitching about the Lost chats without reading the 4,999,999 ones before you. Thanks for your contribution to the Lost P&S blog. Peace.

ok first ,,there is someone behind Sun when she's in the cabin with Christian...the figure is very hard to see...I have a wide screen hi deff and I still had to turn the brightness all the way up..you can see someone in a black t shirt that has white lettering on it. It looks as if the person has long blonde or light brown hair and I' m 99 percent sure it's a guy. I would take a guess that it's either Horace or Sawyer in some form or another I think when Sun decides to trust/go with Christain the figure will come out of the shadows and say "come with me" or somthing like that. Second.....are you guys nuts .....the lost chat is an important part of your show...please do not under estamate your listeners...most of us are intellegent people if we wern't we'd never get half of Steve's jokes.....as for not appealing to all of the audience....when ever does that happen?????? The hottie cam girls don't appeal to me (except when you have my daughter,Jenni Mae, on). as I'm sure they don't appeal to your other female listeners...yet your not discontinuing the hottie cam now are you? And we ladies must make up almost 50 percent of your audience. Reconciter this lost chat thing you have some time to think it over being off next week and all .

I'll keep coming to the blog because I love the posts all the P&S LOST fans put together, but I guess I can stop listening on Thursdays. I use to sit in the parking lot at work waiting for the LOST chat and catching up with what was said with my boss who use to do the same thing. Now I can listen to my "pay" radio on the way to work and not worry about missing P&S. Preston and Steve still rock, but just not as much anymore... And the part about pleasing all the fans, what an outside curve ball that is. Way off the plate. I could care less about hearing some about some chick being on a web cam I can't access from my car or work. The joy of the show for me has always been the interactions and discussions of the P&S team, LOST topics or otherwise. I'll get back to LOST only posts after I am done throwing my tissy here. But really, I started coming to this post site to hear the chat when I couldn't stay in my car any longer and had to go in to work. Perhaps P&S could at least manage a podcast for us LOST bloggers. I want to hear what they have to say, they are funny after all.

shell2271 I must agree wiht you, a lot fo what these peope write in here is pointless...usuallypeople pointing out things they consider new, but is actually seasons old... but I DID see a blonde hairs woman behind sun in her conversation with christian... please take a look at it again... the focus is a littel off, butyou can clearly see a blonde hairs person move her head... and it is ONLY the top of her head in the light. Please go back and check again... I know how you feel about people postign stupid stuff... but whoever first posted about the claire in tehbackground was CORRECT!

I agree with McNabb about the Lost Chats. Just give us 15 minutes each week.

To AD Could the O in your acronym be Others? Just a thought. I couldn't figure out anything else.

Many of you have said Sun couldn't jump back because she was already in 1977. If that's true, then how did John and Sawyer jump into 2004 to see the light from the hatch or Claire giving birth? Sun must have unfinished business with the island in 2007 - probably relating to the Claire/Christian/Jacob connection. I agree with Cheech from his earlier post. Rose and Bernard have not been seen in a while, and I have wondered if they died sometime in the past (maybe by Dharma for violating the perimeter? maybe from the nose bleeds/temporal displacement while they were hiding in the caves?), and were laid to rest in the caves - one black, one white, like the stones in the pouch. I still think Miles is the scientist's baby. The age works out, and Faraday asked him "are you sure?" when he said he had never been in the island before. Plus, in "The Glass Ballerina" episode, we see flashback's of Sun as a little girl. The 'Jughead' bomb was buried near the location of the Swan station - which has caused "the incident" (leakage?) and why the area was covered in concrete, like Chernobyl, as Sayid references in early season 2

Sawyer and Juliette will be Adam and Eve

Hi Nick, Thanks for the update on the Lost chat. Well to be blunt that SUCKS. For 3 years you didn't care about the non LOST listeners . No I think the truth is you guys have lost your passion for the show. You guys never missed a episode. Now it seems you guys don't bother. Now that we get to the meat of the story you abandon it?? Has the pressure from above gotten too much. I'm sure the bean counters aren't happy about giving ABC free advertisement time. I'm bummed.

MarkB, if you don't like the show stop watching it. Some of us still love it.

what about the new recruit greeting Namaste? It means I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace, When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One. Why of all words was this chosen? Is it an Easter Egg of some sort?

Sayid better kill Ben so that whole DHARMA wipe out dose not happen Hey biches Hey what GADZOOKS

Not going to comment about the Lost Chat, or lack thereof. Bottom line..... It's their show and even though it's not an important part of the show to them anymore, I'm thankful for the past chats, because it got me hooked on the show. Now...where to comment. I did see a figure behind Sun as well, but couldn't make it out after watching it twice. Sorry. And as for Ethan and how he survived the purge, Faraday said no matter what happens, the timeline always course-corrects itself. Amy may have survived the first attempt and have been saved by Juliette and Sawyer, but maybe down the road, she eventually gets taken, with her baby. Just a guess. Preston and Steve still rock. I'm Scanner and I approve this message!!

not sure, but way back before they left the island when the survivors started watching the Darma Initiative tapes and the Dr. was talking - wasn't there something wrong w/ his hand? Last night his hand was crushed.....I can't WAIT till next season!
