Well, it's been fun, but I'm signing off for tonight. Happy conjecturing!

In the promo, Ben said Locke had been in a wheelchair for 4 years. How long ago did Hurley win the lottery? Would he have owned the factory 4 years ago?

Art Crawl!!!

I don't know how long ago Hurley won the lottery. I wouldn't have guessed as long ago as four years.

We need P-C, I'm sure he's got links to all the websites that track this stuff.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Gah! My mum's visiting and I got sucked into watching again. Kinda enjoyable. Finally stopped wishing Charlie would die and transferred that hat to Claire "what's wrong Charlie, just because you planned this nice little picnic, arranged for babysitting, and then I ditch you without an "is that okay despite all the plans you'd made for me?", why ever are you grumpy?"

And Desmond, you do not begin a "I just saved your boyfriends life" with "That's where and how he died". IJS. Stoopid dramatic contrivances.

Locke killed someone! "Sorry". Heh. Hey, dude said the thing hadn't worked for years (why did he say "thanks" for Locke killing him?).

I'd been spoiled for this, but seeing Jack catch the football and bounce it was suh-weet! I think the show is more enjoyable when I just don't care. Hmmm, maybe I should skip every two eps and watch one, skip two, watch one... anything important that I missed I can catch up on here or the previouslies (and if I'm really procrastinating IRL, watch it streaming).

I laughed when they said we'd finally find out how Locked ended up in the wheelchair. Since every. single. one. of his flashbacks had red herrings that seemed like they might explain this very thing, I'm just tickled. It'd better be good, because they've dragged it out (in the words of Dr. Cox) for-hor-hor-HEVER!

Okay, how many people believe that they're REALLY going to tell us how Locke ended up in a wheelchair? (Yes, a question we actually would like to know that answer to!)

I believe it, as Lindelof and Cuse mentioned in an interview that we'd get an answer to this as well.

I laughed when they said we'd finally find out how Locked ended up in the wheelchair. Since every. single. one. of his flashbacks had red herrings that seemed like they might explain this very thing, I'm just tickled.

Yeah, but they never actually promised we'd find out until now.

Good episode. I have renewed love for Claire and her accent, and I'm trying to remind myself that I hate Charlie.

It's the first quarter of the Island Bowl, and here's the score:

What is even happening?

AmyLiz, Jack remembers Locke in the wheelchair (and maybe Rose does, but I'm not sure of that last part).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Locke was actually boarded early, as a consequence of being disabled AND being politely deported by Australia. So most passengers would have only seen him in passing as a guy sitting in one of the rows.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Rose definitely knows that Locke was in the wheelchair, but it's not like she's ever around these days.(Ok, the actress is in a play, so they can't use her. Just felt snarky) OTOH, I don't recall Jack knowing about the wheelchair.
