Yeah I thought it was pretty stupid that Richard went on about Jacob having told him what the island is, yet no one asked him to tell. You'd think they'd want to know, right?

We know what Jacob told him, he doesn't even truly know what that means.

I also thought it was laughable that Jack would sit there and not ask Hugo or Richard what the island was. Maybe he already knows? Because the change has happened.

My GF reads people.com and the day after every episode the interview the character who was the focus of current episode. I haven't read the interviews myself, but she told me that in Hurley's interview he said something to the effect of: They don't really lay all the answers out there until the last half of the series finale. .....punch me in the face

Jack said it himself in the episode, he's learning to let go and trust people instead of being in charge.

goddamn it

So it was no surpise when Smokey told Jack that he was in control of his father and probably everyone else.

So i didn't notice a preview for next week. Final is May 23rd. With 4 episodes left i think they are off next week.

So, they keep making it seem like whoever talks to Smokey is pretty much with him, but how is this true after those that are trying to escape him currently, and Claire, and Sayid. They do one thing and the rules change on the fly, expected. So i'm gonna go with Sayid let Desmond live and lied to Smoke.

Desmond is clearly too important for them to kill off like that. He's definitely still alive.

Maybe they meant 4 episodes until the finale? If that's the case, they're still on track for May 23 without interruption.

There is not a new episode next week, then 3 regular episodes and then a 2 hour finale.

Vayd said in an interview with Hugo he said we don't get any real answers until about halfway through the finale.

Also, apparently the episode on May 11th is going to be a focus on the relationship between smokey and jacob.

Also, the finale is on a Sunday? lamecore

Most important moment of tonight's show? Locke mumbling about the button when he was asleep after surgery. Not sure what it means exactly yet, but that's gotta be huge.
