Hey, I just had an idea of who the third party may be that wants control of the island. Eloise aka Elle? She knew that flight to Guam would be the one to crash on the Island so she could have put Bram and IIana (and maybe others) on that plane. Not sure why she would send Ben back if that was the case unless maybe she thought the smokey would kill him.

I was more concerned with the bad math than the incorrect numbers. You are right though, I can come off like a jerk when I do that, but it isn’t my intention.

That said, I thought the 3.4 was right when you had that, but as you correctly updated it now, it is in fact 3.2 and that is double the 1.6 offered. Nice!

Ha, I knew that Ewok comment would get you going! Good thought on the Juliet comment. She knows it’s going to hit the fan now.

First – I AM NOT AN EWOK LOVER!!! I am just saying that if Hurley has his way and changes the ending of Empire to touchy-feely, then Jedi doesn’t happen – and it really was worth it to walk out of that theater at the age of 9 completely stunned versus walking out all full of sunshine and warmth. It was worth its weight in Ewoks – as unfortunate as that may be.

As for the fuzzy math. That’s just a placeholder number that I forgot to change. It’s been done so I’d like to extend my thanks to the Continuity Cop for never letting a mistake go unmentioned unspotlighted.

Last thing – I thought Juliet summed it up nicely.”Well, here we go.”

I am surprised Miles has lasted three years hanging with his Mother and Father on the Island. It was strange when he said he realized it when he was line behind his mother in line… He seems so motivated by $ why stick around as a Leflur lacky for three years unless he is bidding his time? It looks like Hurley broke him down thought as he went to his father’s house and watched him reading to him as a baby. I did like the comedy that Hurley provides as he says why don’t you change your own diaper… and when he is in the back seat talking to Chang and asking about his son. Wow his name is Miles as well… Also, nice rant on Hurley attempt to change Empire. I guess you are an Ewok lover unlike Hurley. But I agree Empire was the best of series and he should not be offering his “improvements.

It’s funny has Jack has been hanging low, letting Saywer know what a mistake Kate made. Sawyer seemed to appreciate it. Although Jack appears to be inaction come next esp.

Sawyger then he finds out Miles didn’t erase the tape. I think his and Juliet’s paradise is about end. I can’t see him killing Phil… but who knows. The roof is about to be blown off.

I thought the figure Widemore is paying Miles was $1.6 million. That aside, how does $1.2 mil relate to $3.4 mil? $1.2 mil x 2 = $2.4 mil. Is there a lot of bad maths going on here or am I missing something?

Glad to see we were right in tagging Miles as Chang’s son earlier this season. Also, this means he was born on island like Ethan, so when exactly does it become difficult to have the babies on island? Chang obviously met Mile’s mother on the island so they likely didn’t conceive off-island. Interesting connection to Empire with his hand… but also, don’t forget that Anakin had his hand lopped off too… Also, what about Chang’s comment about what they were doing at the Hydra station being nutty, but ironic that he is reading a polar bear book to his son.

I did catch some of the stuff on the blackboard, but the screencap helps a lot more.

I was hoping that little weasel looking bastard Phil was going to get his. Do you think LaFleur is going to killz him?

I think the numbers are a random serial number for the Hatch, but they aren’t really random. Know what I mean?

The thing that interested me the most and was also the biggest surprise was the *real* introduction of Bram as a member of a third faction interested in the island. Other than being the side that thinks it will win, what are their intentions for the place because based on their methods, they seem no different than the other two. All are willing to use violence as a means to an end. Based on the connections I think were already made to Widemore and Bram’s intel, I think they might be a splinter group from Widemore’s organization. I also had a scary thought: what if the thing in that crate on the beach is another nuke?

From the trailer, it looks like there’s going to be a little bit of a Dharma civil war, no?
