Hurley Rocks. Frickin' funny as hell trying to re-write Empire. And he was right too, the Ewoks did suck.

so whats up with next weekend.. anyone else notice the polar bears on hydra island!!? so all the people on the isle in real time are others? hmmmmmm

funniest part of the show was the look that miles gave dr. chang when the dr said that he likes country music. intersting to see that jack was erasing a chalkboard full of information on egyptian "history".

OK...I am thinking spin off with Hurley and Miles!!! So the guy in the van who took Miles is one of the people on the island now after the 2nd crash. He is with the chick who captured Sayid. So is he an Other ? How many other people are really Others and have manipulated everyone?

riddle me this, what episode was it that dr candle , in a informational video had one hand?

i think this episdoe was great! loved learning more about miles, and happy to get the confirm that miles is dr. chang/marvin candle's son. what confused me was the guy that was in the van (who is on the island now with locke) referenced that miles shouldn't go on the freighter and work for widmore and told miles that he was working for the wrong team. who does that guy work for? did ben plant people on the plane and they have been pretending to not know each other? or is the van guy working for someone else? are we going to find out how daniel got off the island in the 70's to only come back to the island? can't wait to find out what lies in the shadow of the statue!

EasyKeel, Ana was refering to the comment above made by c-sam-gotout-da-shower. It began with "Ewoks do suck". Anyway, decent episode. Not the greatest plot-wise, but hilarious. I agree that a Hurley-Miles spin off before or after the zombie season would be great. They could team up as ghost detectives!

easykeel.....the 5th poster down said it was the lowest episode of the season. I was just responding that because it was slow didn't mean it was bad. (i didnt use the word suck) I was simple defending the episode saying that slower episodes are just as awesome. especially with the repeat of "what lies in the shadow of the statue"...which i STILL cant believe noone had commented on yet!

**** to ana d :: easyKeel eating crow:: sorry to have misread that post and to have implied you were unjustly defensive. You are correct, slow episodes can be just as satisfying as fast paced eps. and I will go on to say this was one of the better episodes this season. Sorry again, Sometimes it's difficult to understand the full content and meaning of those posting. I will certainly try and read more carefully next time.

Could Jacob lie in the shadow of the statue? And who the hell are the bad guys Widmore, Ben, Jacob? Please don't kill off Sawyer or I'm never watching it again. Kill Kate she's getting on my nerves.

Could the line "what lies in the shadow of the statue" work the same way that Desmond's "What did one snowman say to the other snowman" line?

So I have a question and an answer, first the question was the dead guy in the restaurant delivering the pictures and invoice to show Widmore what Ben had done to hind the truth about Flight 815 and killed by Ben(can't remember the ep but Ben did show someone an invoice for a plane and pictures of empty graves to prove Widmore was bad), or was he trying to blackmail Widmore? Now the answer, what lies in the shadow of the statue depends on where the sun is at in the sky. Don't get mad because my power is better than your power!!!

I think the bomb lies in the shadow of the statue.

I love Hurley! I almost died laughing when I found out he was re-writing "The Empire Strikes Back" but better. Another classic line was when he said to Miles "Are you just jealous that my powers are better than yous?" Kinda freaky about Miles dad being Chang. Maybe he got his powers from the exposure of the Dharma stuff? Not sure why his mom said the bad things abut his dad though because when you see Miles looking at himself his dad seemed to be very caring of Miles. What the hell was Daniel Farraday doing?

OH MAN! Every time we get closer to answers, there's 5 more questions that come with it. I love LOST but my nose has been bleeding all season so far! 1. "What Lies in the Shadow of the Statue?" : this is driving me crazy! PLEASE TELL US BEFORE THIS SEASON ENDS!!!!!!! The whole Jacob/Richard/Egyptian statue/heiroglyphics storyline... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! I love it, it's one of the most interesting and mysterious pieces of the puzzle. But they're killing me with curiosity... 2. Good point , whoever brought up the daddy issue. This is true! And almost everyone with this issue is a big part of the story. 3. Love the Miles/Hurley conversation. Definitely strange that Miles could see himself as a baby as he's traveling in time. Don't really understand how 'LOST' time travel rules work, but could it be a doppelganger situation? Like, the effects of time travel make the physics of a human body and consciousness actually split itself to make one part travel while the other is still on its old path? Could the actions of one part then affect the other's fate or path? There goes my nose bleeding again... But then again... while Miles approaching his baby self wouldn't do much, what would happen if Locke had approached his 2004 self back at the hatch the night he was in the jungle and knew what that beam of light was, but decided to go the other way? Maybe they'll revisit this phenomenon later. I'm starting to get a headache...

Yet another great episode to answer some questions and move the story along. Again, Hurley & Miles have great comedic chemistry. @ Jim Steele: That is awesome! I looked up Thoth to see what it was all about and WOW! The last few words of the paragraph just about summed it up..."judging of the dead"...can anyone say SMOKE MONSTER??? LOST ROCKS!!!!

Regarding the title of the episode: It's interesting that the anagram includes "Miles" and "Eko" but alternatively, maybe there's another message here. By only slightly altering where the words begin and end in "Some Like It Hoth," the title of the episode could also read "Some Like I, Thoth." Maybe it's a signal to Miles and Hurley who can both communicate with the dead?

So, if you think that its hard to find answers in this show, try listening to the Offical Lost Podcast staring producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Its pales in comparison to the P&S show but sometimes you can glean a hint or two from the guys with all the answers, like how off mark some theroys are. - for ilovelost35 - Lost has a "non-paradoxical" setup when it comes to time travel. So it is possible for your future self to see your past self. Any weird things like those you see in Back to the Future movies don't apply to Lost, just like Miles explains to Hurley in "Dead is Dead".

To Jenn531: The guy in the van was named Bram. It was Ilana and Bram who pulled guns on Lapidus when he returned to they Hydra island without Sun.

You CAN be on the island at the same time as your past self. It has never been said that this cannot happen. The time travel set up of the show is just like the movie "12 Monkeys." The prime example from this film is Bruce Willis' character's nightmare of seeing a man killed in the airport when he was a child. This is a memory from his youth. At the end of the movie, we discover that the man that is killed is bruce willis' character, so as a boy, he sees himself being killed. He exists for the rest of his life because it is not the young boy that is killed, but the man who has traveled back in time. Just like in LOST, the survivors exist in 1977 elsewhere in the world while their 30-some year old selves exist on the island. If the 30-something survivors perish in 1977, it does not affect their childhood selves else where. however, if something were to happen to the child version of the character (aka ben) then it would have dire consequences on the characters at the age we know them. However, we know that in order for Ben to become the evil man that he is, he had to become assimilated into the world of the "Others," and in order for this to happen, the events that unfolded had to happen exactly as they did. So even though Jack refused to help, he was not helping the situation. If he had intervened and saved ben's life, then young Linus would not have taken to the temple and baptized as an "Other." So even though the survivors believe they are changing the past, they are not; they are simply carrying out the events as they occurred years before. There is no more free will....whatever happened, happened and there is no changing it.

I have a question...maybe I didn't see it correctly, but it looked to me that Miles did not have time to erase the tape of Sawyer and Kate taking Ben across the border. It looked like Horace came in before he had time to erase it, and it looked like Miles totally forgot about it. Am I off base, or do we have nasty stuff brewing for Sawyer and Kate in a few episodes?
