It sort of looked like the top of a submarine or something.
I loved the episode. Finally, some answers! OK, not answers but... more puzzles to obsess over!
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

I really like the idea of that string of numbers floating around in the world somehow manipulating probability so that multiple people converge and end up on that island.

Our wings are not tired.
So how many people do you think will play those numbers this week?

Because books.
So how many people do you think will play those numbers this week?
Ack! That is exactly what my husband said.
Great episode. I have huge Hurley love anyway, so this was a treat. The look on his face when he saw those numbers on crazy French Chick's map nad notes... Spooky shudder.
And Locke making the cradle killed me. Killed me. Why did I used to think he was evil?!
A rerun next week sucks, though.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
LOVED the Hurly/Rousseau scene. Rosseau looked so incredibly transcendently beautiful when she was listening to Hurley freak out.
Charley was a total ass in that last scene - asked Hurley what he was going to say previously, interrupted him to lay his own heroin secret on him (really aggressively, I thought) and then used that as emotional leverage to get information. Then, rejected the information out of hand. It bugged.
Locke was DEAD sexy tonight. Overshadowed only by Rousseau. Can't wait till those two get together...
Excellent ep. Great backstory. The whole episode was creepy as hell.

Thrive to spite them
I think I'm blind, I didn't see the Rousseau sexy. Or the Locke sexy.
Now, Sayid ... he was sexy.
Loved Hurley's backstory. I was totally expecting the guy on the ladder to fall to his death anyway. And the ending was really perfect...just the closing shot of omigod! the mysetry!
I totally missed the box factory thing and was wondering where the survivor was in Hurley's backstory. I still want to know how he got on Korean tv. or was he just on tv for winning?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sawyer was indeed reading A Wrinkle in Time.

Me too, Matt. I loved this episode in all its OMGWTFness. I, too, was way into the backstory, and loved that it was directly related to the island events. Hurley was having flashbacks for a very good reason.
Charley was a total ass in that last scene - asked Hurley what he was going to say previously, interrupted him to lay his own heroin secret on him (really aggressively, I thought) and then used that as emotional leverage to get information. Then, rejected the information out of hand. It bugged.
Bugged me too, Nora.
Locke's pretty interested in that baby, huh? Also pretty interested in what Claire remembers. He was ostensibly nice today, but hello: that cradle is TOTALLY OUT OF CLAIRE'S NIGHTMARE. Locke has an agenda, man.
I had a little disconnect for the first part of Hurley's backstory, because it was being played for humor, with the whimsical music and all (reminded me of a light X-Files episode). And this show is so rarely humorous.
Observation:
Walt can make things happen with his mind. His stepdad calls him the luckiest person he knows. He is Good Luck.
Hurley, on the other hand, seems to cause things he doesn't want to happen. He thinks he's cursed. He is Bad Luck.
Walt and Hurley are polar opposites.
Good Luck vs. Bad Luck.
Fat Man vs. Little Boy.
They will face off...TO THE PAIN!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What I noticed right away was 48 = original number of survivors (right?), 815 = flight #, and, of course, 42 = the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
This episode rocked. I have no doubt that at this point the writers are just throwing a bunch of tantalizing crap at us to see what they can forge into a storyline later, but man, I'm loving it!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Man, this show just keeps getting better and better. The last run of eps has been amazing.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
In reference to numbers I believe the lady that Hurley went to see in Australia mentioned that her husband and Lenny heard the transmission 16 years ago.
Also, when Hurley tells Lenny in the psych ward that he used the numbers for the lotto Lenny says, "You opened the box!" Box = hatch?
I know I'm probably going to run around in circles over this, but is there any significance to the numbers, besides being on the hatch? The number 16 keeps getting mentioned, which is divisible by 4 & 8, but what about 15, 23 & 42?
