“Jesus Christ is not a weapon.”

I was thinking they were island whispers too. Even after the party reveal.

Think Hurley has just always been a little bit crazy because of the numbers, and honestly, who wouldn’t be. He just needs to be on meds… but yeah, loved him running off after seeing the numbers on the dash gauges.

Think it is Sun’s father and Widemore responsible for Jin’s death, and yes, he’s really dead. My feeling is he goes up with that C-4… along with maybe Michael and Desmond and the rest… of course, Michael isn’t supposed to be alive either and Desmond wasn’t on the flight, so who knows if they’ll still appear at some point in “the future.”

Anyway, it would seem that of the people now on the freigher, at least Jin and Aaron get off alive. Who knows if Sayid ever gets back there or Jack, Kate and Hurley ever see it at all. In fact, it will be interesting to see how Hurley reconnects with them.

I like the theory that the six are The Six because that’s all the Zodiac can carry, but as I just pointed out, Sun and Aaron are already on the freighter and the other four are split apart on the island right now. How do all six end up back together?

Jack also yelled at Kate that she wasn’t even related to Aaron prior to seeing the reveal to him upon meeting Clarie’s mum. Wasn’t that when he went off about her doing something for Sawyer? What episode was that? I watched these last three in a row, so they sorta started to blend…

As I already told you, I think moving the island adjusts the heading away from 305, so I think this happens while Faraday is en route and he gets the sickness, thus his other entry in the notebook about Desmond being his anchor. Anyway, based on everything else that’s been going on this season, I think it adjusts where it is in timespace ever so slightly. It would account for the things we’ve seen like the little rocket, the doctor washing up, etc. I just think it can’t move very far though.

I’m excited to see what takes place in the next two hours, but like you saddened that the season will then be over. It will be long wait.

Also, just as a little side note, Ben’s extendable baton is probably attributed to writer Brian K. Vaughan. A character in his comic series Y: The Last Man has one too.

@Carlos – Yeah – I think you heard that here and I got it direct from the source (or rather 3rd party – basically an Entertainment Weekly interview with Damon Lindelof). Season 5′s main focus is on the survivors trying to find the island/return to it. Season 6 is the return and finale. That said – they do plan on having plenty of on island stuff next year so we know the island survives, and by nature, so do a number of people (i.e. Locke).

I heard (from here??) that Season five is about the six off-island but I really hope there’s a substantial number of survivors, like Desmond and Juliet. I wonder if they’re not going to tell us much at the end of this season, basically that the 6 survive Kearny and make it off. Then Season five’s on-going status will be in the States with flashbacks to the island.

Ed, I too was surprised when Kate’s “baby” story was told at the press confernce. You would think when they arrested her that they would have noticed she was six months pregnant and would have reported that as they were transporting her. It was strange that Clair’s mother saw her grandson and didn’t even know it.

I will be interesting to see how the six get together. As is stated here they are all over the place right now.

I also want to see who is behind the cover story they have created. I don’t think it was the folks at Oceanic. I would think they would want to find more survivors if possible so that the world would know that more than 8 survived. Did they come up with it themselves? Also, they still have not mentioned who the other two “survivors” were. But it must be known to the world because Clair’s mother said that Clair died on impact.

Something must happen to the freighter because in the story they state a crashed freithter drifted to the island they were on and they used the small boat to get off the “uninhabited island” and go to the island in which they were found. So I think at some point the six get on the boat from the freighter and the boat gets blown up or crashes.

I also want to know if Juliet and Desmond get off the island somehow? They have not been in flash forwards so I am guessing not, but they may be holding back them.

@Stacy – You might be onto something. What if those six decide to leave the island to get away from Locke’s actions. They decide to head to the freighter. On route, Locke ‘moves the island’ and therefore they can’t go back. But, at the same time, the freighter explodes. They’re then adrift at sea and the rest of that Oceanic story comes true – they land on some random island, get help from the islanders and eventually get picked up and returned home.

Just want to throw this out there…though I hope that all the others are alive and happy on the island, what if the reason that only 6 are left is because that is all that fit on the little boat that they were using to take people to the ship? I know the island must still be there since Jack said they need to go back, but what if they had to escape for some reason and they did so on the boat?

@Aunt Sharon – The ‘red shirt’ has been an endangered species on the island of late (Keamy must have mowed down a good baker’s dozen himself) and with all that C4 in the engine room, I think we may be fresh out of them by the time Season 5 starts. Good thing too – we don’t need anymore Dr. Artz or Nikki and Paulo’s coming to the forefront (although – truth be told – my peepers sure do miss the sight of Nikki on a regular basis).

@Carlos: My thought on that tale they told of the survivors in the little boat being helped by islanders – is that it was staged for the cover story. Now, it doesn’t seem like Oceanic is behind the cover story so maybe whatever mysterious events happen to dictate that only these 6 leave the island also involve staging photos like that to make their cover story more real. I guess if you can dig up 355 bodies and plant them in the middle of the Indian Ocean you can pay off a couple islanders for a little photo op. Hopefully we’ll learn more in 2 weeks.

Sawyer is definitely the man and he has grown as a character in leaps and bounds from his early appearances. Talk about character growth. It appeared he was going to be the divisive, combative character on the show and he has grown to be their Han Solo. One of my faves for sure.

Okay, just so you will know, I didn’t go looking for the update until 5:15pm on Friday!
For whatever it is worth, I think the muted whispers were the party guests, setting up Hurley to go crazy, but the numbers never lie…
And Ron referred to the ” red shirts” in the zodiac too, causing me to LOL, and our 24 year old daughter to go ” huh?”
