  So I wonder if they're like the remnents of the Dharma project, and they're stranded b/c everyone else forgot about them?

  Or maybe it's some government conspiracy thing.

  or...or....maybe it's...ummm...like you know.....ummmmmmm.......

  DAMMIT! I don't know...I'm just hooked and I must watch the show!

  Sorry Zico, it does require some patience.

  jojo, can't tell yet if they're remnants of the original scientists and/or subjects. The new Other woman told Jack "that was a long time ago" when he mentioned it. I suspect she's going to be Jack's new love interest, leaving Kate for Sawyer. (Better match anyway.)

  They obviously have created a sort of idyllic little commune there. Why they're such a-holes, I have no clear idea.

  Hi Daystar, Yeah, I guess I'm not that patient! If it ever finishes, and the ending is highly rated, I might buy it all on DVD, but I'm currently expecting millions of worldwide Lost viewers to be shouting at the Television screen after the rubish ending!

  I kind of expected to see Jack, Sawyer and Kate separated and isolated.

  It's fascinating to watch manipulative mind control techniques creeping into the Others' repertoire of skills:

  • Juliet does not leave food for Jack unless he is willing to comply and stand in the cell with his back to the wall;
  • Juliet produces a massive file of information that they have acquired about Jack and his life;
  • Kate does not get to wear her own clothes - they must know how she liked going to the hatch to shower and "feel more civilized" in the previous season;
  • Kate has to put on the handcuffs and they must be sufficiently tight, otherwise "Henry Gale"/Ben will not give her coffee;
  • Sawyer is put in a cage and seems to have an ally in "Carl" (I think this was a set-up, myself) but the two make a "failed" (orchestrated?) escape attempt, only to have Sawyer back in the cage with the food and water dispensing machinery, with "Carl" being dragged off and being "made an example" to intimidate Sawyer;
  • Kate gets put in a cage opposite Sawyer and Sawyer starts immediately assuming a protective role of her (offering her the food he had just worked for several hours to get).

  Each of these characters showed strong leadership qualities in the first two seasons - and now the Others' have taken on the task of putting them through a psychological breakdown to make them compliant with the Others' agenda.

  Michael experienced a similar "compromise" of his personality last season when he was captured by the Others.

  It will be interesting to see where this goes.

  If/when it ends, and it's a good ending, then i'll watch the ending. Heh, after yrs of reading sf, i used to start reading them at about 3/4s the way through. If it was good there, then i would restart from the beginning.

  Scully, it's really great to see that someone else here appreciates the subtle nuances as much as I do.

  Last night's show got me angry really irritated. I really don't think the writers know where they are taking the show. They don't answer anything. They just keep piling on mystery after mystery.

  But it's like crack, and I am hooked!
