Fan 2: 'Okay, here are some questions I had after watching the latest episode: 1. Where exactly did Sawyer get that badge? (The one he gave to Kate.) And did he imply that he and Kate knew each other before the plane crash or was that just my distracted imagination? 2. Where did Jack find his dad's coffin? Was that part of the wreckage from the midsection, just a little further off into the woods, or was it part of the front section near the cockpit, or was it the until-now-unseen tail-end section of the crashed plane? 3. When Jack discovers that his father's body is missing from the coffin, he takes a bat and starts smashing the coffin to pieces in a fury of frustration. There's then a wide shot of the trees and the sound of the smashing which to me was eerily similar to the "monster shots" -- it was a smaller version of the scenes of trees moving and mechanical crushing sounds whenever the Giant Thing is glimpsed. Just my over-active imagination or another clue? 4. Locke is fast becoming my favorite character. I pray they never kill him off. He's like a wiseman character. He's the only one who apparently has seen what the Giant Monster Thing looks like (from the Walkabout episode) and lived to tell about it -- or in his case NOT tell about it. When he tells Jack that "he's looked into the eye of this island and it's beautiful" I couldn't help but wonder if he was talking about that Thing. 5. Speaking of Locke -- in the pilot episode he shows the kid that game he was playing and holds up a black piece and a white piece and says that everything has a light side and a dark side. Then in the next episode when he finds the dog, he came across as such a noble character, but then as other people have pointed out, the very last shot of the episode showed Locke looking at the boy reunited happily with his dog and Locke had a scowl on his face. It sent shivers down my spine. After the last two episodes, Locke seems like one of the "good guys" and I love his character, but I'm sure there's still more to him than meets the eye. I love this show.'

Fan 3: ' Does anyone else think Boone and Shannon are a variation of the Prodical Son? Shannon being the spoiled selfish sibling who never does anything right and yet is forgiven, and Boone being the older more responsible sibling who is just bursting with resentment that he doesn't get credit for being the better person. Boone's little "I own a business" comment just sent warning bells off. We think he's the better sibling, but it's always the ones who have something to prove who get led astray. ********************** Okay, the Korean guy was in a plane related flashback! Since he is Sun's husband, I assume they didn't meet after the crash. I still think he speaks at least some English, but I guess Sun doesn't. For the record: we still haven't actually seen Sayid, Sawyer, Hurley, or Claire on the plane or at the airport. At this point, Sawyer is the one who I find the most suspicious, but Hurley's absence from all other flashbacks is very curious. ********************* What happened to Mother Abigail...er...the nice old lady who thinks her husband is still alive? And will they get someone like James Earl Jones to play him in a flashback? *********************** So, Jack wasn't happy to be on the plane, and neither were Kate or Locke. Interesting theme we're getting here. But what did Jack do that sent his dad to Australia? His mom said something to that effect. Was it malpractice? Whistle blower? How long do we have to wait before Jack gets another episode? *************************** I really don't know what this Island is, but I tend to think it's not a supernatural place like Eden or Purgatory. I think thematically it might be one of those, but not literally. Maybe they flew so high they went up a level of the Dark Tower?'

Fan 4: 'Kudos to the makers of "Lost" for creating such a great character as "Jack", by far the most three-dimentional character in a series of great characters. And the choice of Matthew Fox to play "Jack" looks more and more inspired each week. There are very few actors working on the big or small screen today who have the acting chops to pull off what Matthew Fox was able to do with last night's episode. He had at least four scenes last night (with his father, at the airport, at the morgue, and at the fountain spring) that would have made a lesser actor shrink in fear. Fox pulled them all off with amazing aplomb. All of them had the potential to be played too showy, or over the top, but Fox played each with a subtle brilliance. Very few actor have the ability to "go there". I can't remember the last time I felt "touched" by a TV show, let alone four times. As a medium, I don't expect much from TV, but Lost, and especially Matthew Fox's work, have touched this jaded and skeptical heart. I hope he is remembered come Emmy time. I'd like to get to know some of the other characters, but I hope Lost will eventually focus most heavily on the characters of Jack and Locke.'
