Lost: Greatest Hits (air date 5/16/2007)
While Jack devises a plan to do away with “The Others” once and for all, Sayid uncovers a flaw in “The Others” system that could lead to everyone’s rescue. However, the plan requires Charlie to take on a dangerous task that may make Desmond’s premonition come true.

Not the most stellar episode, but I almost choked up and cried just before Charlie jumps in the water. Normally I hate Charlie backstories but the "Greatest Hits" was cool. I like how Sayid's Nadia finally shows up and tells Charlie he's a hero.
I'm so sick of Jack. How do you redeem him to the public? He's such an ass and what a waste of time and dynamite to make this show blow up a tree routine. You know its all going to go wrong, but I'm glad Rose and Bernard are back and Rose is as feisty as ever.
So what do you think about the looking glass? I guess we have way too little info to make any guesses if those people were others or something else.
So next week is the "game changer" what do you think that will be? We learn the secrets of the island and now the lostees have to protect the island from outsiders making them the others? doubtful, but I can't imagine anything that can really shake up the show except getting people off the island which I also don't see happening.
So who gets written off the show: I still say Sawyer, he does have his kid backstory, but I still say his story is kind of wrapped up. Charlie has virtually no backstory. He can go. Juliet can go. The parachuter was probably brought in as a red shirt no doubt.
"Are you having a laugh?"
i think something big is coming, along the lines of the storming of the sd6 locations on alias, or the most recent galactica finale.
i think charlie is going to hit that switch and drown. i think they're going to get rescued, though some like locke (still alive!) and rose will want to stay.
the rescue will lead to a revelation: they've gone back in time? they're in an alternate reality? the population of the rest of the world is missing or dead? jack is a cylon?
next season will be about the losties traveling through a bizarro world and trying to get back to the island so they can find a way to REALLY get home.
OR
they kill all the others, find out what the others were doing and realize how important it is, and decide to stay on the island to continue the others' work. clair and aaron will leave (per desmond's dream), but the rest will stay.
next season another plane crashes (or a cruise ship), and the losties have a total role reversal.
christian shepheard = jacob
jacob, somehow trapped by ben, needs fire/electricity to free himelf. rousseau knows this and has the gunpowder set up to free jacob. the smoke monster is a cloud of nano-technology that jacob manipulates.
OK new take, switch flipped, people off island find island. They start killing lostees and take hostages ala claire. Lostees now need to team up with Others to stay alive/protect island.
Is he havin' a laugh?
I like the team-up angle. That would really shake things up.
I, too, was choked up over Charlie... a character that i hate. How did they do that to me?
Nice going Charlie... screaming, "I made it". when he entered the "Looking Glass". I KNEW it would be manned (womanned?) Any significance to Charlie entering "The Looking Glass". We saw Ben with a white rabbit a few weeks ago. Are they messing with us?
The Looking Glass intrigues me. Who are those people? I hope it's not as simple as they work for Ben. Can they leave? Do they have a vessel? It's a long swim, probably.
I liked Jack this week. He's a mad man.
I think Claire and Aaron are off the island. I think Charlie will end up dead after they convince us he won't die.
Christian Shepherd = Jacob. If this is true, what would the explanation be? Apparently in the bible, Jacob is the great great great grandfather of Aaron. Since Christian Shepherd is Claire's father, that makes him the grandfather of Aaron. Maybe Jacob will be related to the Shepherd's. Didn't the producers give us a hint who Jacob was... something along the lines of "we saw this character back in season 1", or "we've never seen this character before"? I still think Jacob and Richard are from The Black Rock.
I wiki'd Through the Looking Glass... reading it really brings back the idea of black and white which has never fully been delved into in Lost except for the obvious idea of Good vs Evil.

If the story is about Alice's assention to the throne, maybe its about Jack's journey to king of the island.
Although with the idea of the alternate flight 108 crash, maybe we're going to be entering an alternative world of Lost. That would be too much and way too scifi for me.
well that didnt show up

Not only was blowing up the tree gratuitous, but how about whacking Desmond over the head with an oar?! I can see it now. Charlie succeeds in flipping the switch, and miraculously makes it to the boat to find that Desmond has died of a concussion. How about this next time writers...
CHARLIE: "Uh Des... really, thanks... but I can't ask you to die in my place.
DESMOND: "Godspeed brotha"
I guess we don't have to worry about Charlie being in danger with those 2 women. A couple of karate chops to the neck should take care of them. I hear the season premiere next year is going to be Jack, Sawyer and Kate stuck in an elevator together. Hijinx ensue. Jeez!
Still love the show though :)
I completely forgot to mention this... In Charlie's flashback, when he was outside playing guitar and it started to rain, he was supposed to run into Desmond. We saw that in Desmond's flashback. It didn't happen that way. I think this proves that Dsmond didn't really travel through time. All of that flashback stuff was going on in his head, amplified by the fact that he just got these incredible powers.

dude, are you in geek denial?

yeah, you're probably right... unless des going back and making changes created a new timeline that branched off (instead of the "back to the future" method of one timeline constantly changing).
so then how did penny know how to find the island? what if walt and michael left the island and found that they were back in time a few years. they could have told penny, i guess. but they had no idea who she was...
maybe the flashback on the island are somehow shielded from changes to the timeline outside the island?
i'm reaching...
it just seems funny that the one person des tells everything about the island to in his flashback happened to be a physicist. but i guess thats why we love this show :^)
most likely penny's father's company has ties to dharma...
