Of course now I want to go back and check out the logo on the shark's (?) tail from the episode Adrift. I know it was a Darma logo (but I couldn't tell if it was a swan or an arrow). Has anyone seen a screencap?

I know it was a Darma logo (but I couldn't tell if it was a swan or an arrow).

I'm fairly sure everything from the first logo episode was a swan, but I thought it didn't actually *say* Dharma on it. Could be wrong, though.

My question about the second hatch was a little vague -- I meant, is this a hatch the original experiment participators knew about? It looked almost like an emergency safehouse -- blankets, Bible, etc. Although how a glass eye is helpful is a little beyond me.

You say that now, but if somebody poked one of your eyes out, I think you'd be grateful to have a spare on hand, missy!

True.

It doesn't look like the swan, but it also doesn't look like the arrow.

t edit Here's the arrow logo from Hatch #2: [link]

So, shark has logo #3.

I liked this episode, but I'm an Ana Lucia fangirl.

There was a wee bit of information--it's the first conversation with the Others that's happened right? I mean, actual conversating.

Ana-Lucia is indeed GrrrlFight Girl if she can kill a large man like that in single combat. She may be even deadlier than Kate.

This episode certainly provided a little insight into why Ana Lucia is so very growly, but I firmly believe some of that was there all along -- digging the hole, knowing the knife was not only military but probably twenty years old, willingness to torture, and of course fighting and killing Goodwin. I'm thinking she's ex-military or something, but I also want to know more about her personal history -- when asked if she had kids, there was along pause before she said "No".

And while most people would be rightly concerned about the fate of two helpless kids in the hands of abductors, the snatched adults didn't seem to ping her at all. So there's that to be found out.

Ana-Lucia is indeed GrrrlFight Girl if she can kill a large man like that in single combat.

Actually, I thought she was incredibly stupid to go off to the top of a mountain, and then confront him alone. She was pretty lucky that he decided to fall on top of the stake.

For the first 20 minutes, I thought they were playing out the series as it was originally planned. So Ana-Lucia = the character arc as envisioned for Kate, i.e. the flawed leader of the gang, Goodwin = Jack, since he looked like the leader (Big Hero Guy, Peace Corps, etc.) who we know ends up dying early, Mr. Eko = Locke, Nathan = Ethan, etc. Then of course, they did the big reveal about Goodwin so the theory no longer held water.

I found it enjoyable enough, although choppy. But then, I don't really have much expectations about getting answers for big mysteries. At this point, I want to see the big Bernard/Rose reunion more than I want to get answers about OMGWTF POLAR BEAR.
