    Yeah, I'm confident the show will pick up, it usually does later in the season.

    Hurley's episode was a better episode than Sayid's.
    The end of Sayid's made that whole episode. I thought it was great.

    I think last week's episode was good, but like others said nothing about any mysteries was revealed. The ending was good and the physics experiment by Farraday added a lot more questions, but this episode was more about setting up future episodes than giving us substance. And you need these kind of episodes to make it through a season and complete storylines, but it was the weakest so far this year.

    slow day at work, so i'm poking around the theory page for the last episode, so i'm just throwing stuff out there that i thought was interesting...

    - anyone think that frank lapidus might be the person in the coffin? he's from new york.

    - jacob's cabin moves around the island and only appears at night, which would explain the reason locke and ben thought it was in a different place than where hurley thought it was. also, ben "marked" the last spot he saw the cabin with the ring of ash.

    - also found this for anyone that wants a quickie lesson in alternate time/space and event horizon.

    (who creates elaborate alternate time/space diagrams for a tv show and then posts as a theory? that's obviously a rhetorical question and no, it wasn't me).

    Here's minor preview of tonight's episode and an interview with Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof about what to expect this coming season:

    http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20179125,00.html?xid=email-alert-lost-20080221-item1

    It appears most of us over analyzed the significance of the bracelets last week. ;)

    Just a warning, the producers/writers of the show are giving this interview so its nothing spoilerish in terms of answers to mysteries, but they cover a lot of the topics that will be shown this season and what won't be. So if you want to be totally fresh for the rest of the season skip it, but if you want an idea to see where this season is going, it's an interesting read.

    yea i agree it was average at best too. last week, while being interesting, didn't really get us anywhere... it created more questions. i feel like we were getting answers.. well if you chose to interpret them.. but last weeks was just a cluster of happenings that we can't do anything with yet...

    i mean where in the future was this? before or after jack? why ben? whats the time thing all about?

    i just felt like it was a filler.. something to get us to next week.. and they are setting alot of things up.

    You said it best! :D;)

    very interesting read. there really isn't much of anything in the way of spoiler-ish stuff, the producers know better than to spill the beans - the farthest they go is "such and such will be answered in episode X this season" but if you want to be completely in the dark, i would suggest not reading.

    i found these nice bits of info...

    in regards to the flash-forwards...

    LINDELOF: When we're presenting you with a narrative, it's always happening in chronological order.

    and

    in regards to the find815 and the mobisodes...

    CUSE: It's unfair for the audience to go to ancillary sources in order to really understand the show. Even the things like the mobisodes, which are in canon, aren't essential to your understanding of the show. These things are just added bonuses.

    And, yeah, you did have a good reason for me to commit assault with a deadly weapon.

    True, but luckily the little break encompasses the NCAA tourney and the EV mini tour. So that's a positive.

    Actually more than half over because they are only showing seven episodes before the break.

    You have opening day, the raising of the banner and the first Sox Yankees series at Fenway to watch. So that's a positive, plus the coming of spring. I'm trying here. ;)

    i thought they were showing 8 episodes (tonight's will be episode 4) then a month break and then 5 more new episodes? did something get announced that changed the 8/break/5 episode structure?

    Yeah, it's 7 episodes to start. Then 6 to finish.

    They have 8 in the can so the first episode after the break will be the last episode they currently have filmed.
