( continues...) "big," she's a nice, normal world big girl, as a romantic interest for one of the firefighters, and he's falling for her hard. I hope they keep that up, because I for one would love to see a nice, healthy romance with a big girl on TV. It's about bloody fucking time, if you ask me.

Question: I agree that the plane that Jack found by the water looked an old one, with the way the foliage was growing out of it. What about the coffin though? Do people think it is a different coffin, from the one Jack's father was in, that just happened to be on the other plane that happened to crash on the island, or is it part of the wish fulfillment that is going on, or is something on the island collecting stuff from the crashes and storing in in the cave?

I'm not sure how it got there, but I'd say that was not a different coffin. Jack recognized it. What he expected to find in there, or what his reaction was supposed to mean, I don't know yet. But I do think that was his father's coffin.

Finally: I think there was one very telling bit that was shown to us tonight that, as far as I've noticed, no one commented on. I think it was a major clue as to what one of the major themes of the show is going to be.

When Charlie was talking to Claire in the tent, there was a visible tatoo on his left shoulder. It was a line from the song "Strawberry Fields," by the Beatles. And I don't think it was shown to us by accident:

"Living is easy with eyes closed"

GAH! Obnoxious double-double post.

Really not worth saying twice across two posts both times.

I'm betting that Jack killed or seriously injured someone 4 years ago (maybe spaghetti-spine kid, a story which sounds, IMO, significantly different knowing his father's take on surgery, all about detachment.).

I want the 7 extra secrets, but TV Guide doesn't print in Alaska.

Right now, Spoilers is all white font (cc: SailAweigh--you won't get spoiled on anything else, if you just stick to the following posts). beathen posted the remaining secrets here: beathen "Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World" Oct 23, 2004 11:25:04 pm PDT and they continue here: beathen "Spoilers 3: First Mutant Enemy, Now the World" Oct 23, 2004 11:25:08 pm PDT Warning, these are TVGuide level spoilers, but if you read the first three at TVGuide online, you have an idea of what level of spoilage we're talking about.

I believe that's Dom Monaghan's new tattoo, and he asked JJ to let him show it off on the show. I'm not totally sure, though -- you'd have to ask one of those crazy hobbit fangirls. (No offense intended to any crazy hobbit fangirls who are reading this.)

Sail, I went and looked at the TV Guide spoilers. I would rather not have known the last two.

I will not go look at the spoilers. I wish I could have done w'n'p last night, but alas, my cable modem decided that last night was the perfect time for a psychotic break.

Is it wrong that I want to take footage from Lost and make a video set to Jefferson Airplane doing "White Rabbit" now?

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

In Watership Down, is there one rabbit that is white?

In WD, the Big Rabbit in the Sky (forget the actual term they used) is actually black. Interesting, huh?

As for mapping characters onto the WD rabbits, I could see Charlie becoming the Dandelion equivalent.

Just tried to explain to someone that the reason I love Buffistas is because you can go there and read a conversation in which the characters for Lost are being mapped onto Watership Down.

Maybe I should have taken off the tinfoil hat, I think it threw them off.

Especially because of those two lines, I don't think he and Sun are actually married.

Add the fact that he was alone in the ticket line, and I think that's what we're going to find out this week.

I started it over on TWoP too. (And speaking of TWoP, have you found tivodivo yet?)

Mapping it onto the Lost cast, you could say that Jack is Hazel and Locke is Fiver. Sayid as Blackberry and Sawyer as Bigwig. That leaves Kate as... I dunno. Not Dandelion.

Consensus there was Kate = Hyzenthlay. I haven't read the book in years, dammit. Must rectify.

That sounds about right. Hurley could be Strawberry.
