Barry notes that the dock is labeled Pala Ferry not Sala Ferry. Lost Pedia gives us this information regarding Pala Ferry:

The Pala Ferry is a ferry system referred to in the Pearl Orientation Video. Dr. Mark Wickmund states “…At the end of your eight hour shift proceed to the Pala Ferry which will take you back to the barracks…“. There is a pier and dock on the northern shore of The Island that has a covered canopy with the words “Pala Ferry” on the top. Presumably this is the docking point for the ferry and location the Pearl team would travel to when they boarded the ferry. The Pala Ferry pier has been used by the The Others as a docking point for their boat, and by Jin, Sun, and Sayid to dock the sailboat. It appears to be grown over and in a state of general dis-use, though looks can be deceiving. [Source]

So, why are The Others so certain that the sail boat would just sail in circles? "sailing in circles will keep them busy." And why does Colleen think that the sail boat could find them. Didn’t the season opener show the village inland? What is the "us" that they might find. Why would Ben so easily give Micheal a boat then get so eagar about the sail boat?

What was Jin’s relation to Sun’s lover? When he saw the picture, his face lit up with recognition.

I thought the young guy in the cage that tried to escape was a plant to mess with Sawyer’s mind but the appearance of Alex with concern for him negates that. So, who is he? The work area with Kate and Sawyer isn’t just a labor camp. They are studying blueprints.

The dock seen at 17:10 is labled Sala Ferry (I think) – the lettering is a little cryptic. Little side note. Using gas to start a fire is dangerous, unnecessary and typically ineffective. Sayid should have been able to start the signal fire without the gas.

More after I make a programming milestone…

To all:

The path of secrecy is a slippery slope. While necessity may dictate, at times, that we shade ourselves and our work from the all-too-often harsh light of inquiry, habitual secret-keeping can mire even the noblest of intentions in shadow. it is this shadow I fell prey to, blinded not only to the actions of colleagues like Dr. Thomas Werner Mittelwerk, but also to the works of my own hand.

I fear the lessons learned have cost many their happiness. Some few have even lost their lives. My regret for this is endless. But, I assure you now, as I did then, that the work of The Hanso Foundation has always been intended to bring rebirth to a dying land and a dying people.

Our methods must change. As of this moment, The Hanso Foundation enters a period of restructure and overhaul. Transparency and oversight will be our guiding prinicples, excellence in communication and response to feedback our greatest strengths. To save humanity, we need first tap into just that – our humanity.

Much time has passed – perhaps too much. Thanks to the tireless efforts of my daughter, Rachel Blake, and a worldwide movement set against the dark entity that was Thomas Mittelwerk’s regime, I have been exonerated and freed from imprisonment. Thanks to the grace and foresight of the Global Welfare Consortium, we at The Hanso Foundation have been given a second chance to build a future that can support, enrich, and cradle us all in peace and joy.

It is to this I dedicate my life and my Foundation. My only hope is that you will join me.

Namaste,
Alvar Hanso {signature}

Good, clear color picture of Alvar Hanso! So, does this just mean the online game is over?

The reading club reads Carrie. See this post for covers and times seen.

Thanks.

"Now I know why Ben isn’t…" So why doesn’t Ben like Stephen King? Or is it science fiction he doesn’t like?

Hospital flashback at 27:18. Is that Zeke having the epidural catheter removed? Wouldn’t that imply a spinal injury? Jack’s speciality right?

Book club book is Carrie. 2:00

2:07 and 3:49

1:51

Covers found on Stephen King Shop.

The wife points out that it takes roughly 2 weeks to brainwash someone.

What’s up with the speaker in Jack’s cell? "It hasn’t worked in years." Screwing with his mind? Or was something trying to communicate to Jack unbeknownst to The Others?

I don’t think Zeke "came out of the closet" but merely told Kate that he wasn’t interested in her.

SCORE! The speaker says, "Let it go Jack." in his father’s voice.

The Stephen King book was definitely Dark Tower. Boy did I ever jump the gun.

It’s bugging me that I don’t have time to write a review so I’ll spit tidbits here and there.

• The escapee that released Sawyer was the plumber at the beginning of the show. The plumber was Ethan.
• I believe some of you (and others) are giving The Others too much credit with regard to Jack’s dossier. Nothing terribly revealing in the info. They have been spying on our people and Kate was obviously tortured so she probably spilled info.
• Here is a Lost glossary – needs more work
• They never intended Sawyer to be fed polar bear food. Just a left over gizmo from a previous tenant.

See also and also and also. Just incase you don’t know or have forgotten, ABC has the show online for free along with Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Six Degrees, The Nine, andThe Knights of Prosperity.

Michael found a link to the amazing similarities between LOST and Gilligan’s Island! This is a MUST READ for any Lost fan.

4 – number of sleeping huts on the island
8 – animals not native to the island
15 – things that wash up on shore
16 – number of times Gilligan foils rescue attempts
23 – number things Gilligan drops on the Skippers head
42 – number of people who visit the island

Don’t overlook the new Lost theme song "Hurley’s Island"!

Update: I originally credited Barry. It has become my habit to immediately read Big Orange Michael after reading Inn of the Last Home or vice versa. So, I periodically think Barry and type Michael or think Michael and type Barry. Thanks to Barry for pointing it out.

Dharma Exposed. Namaste.

Hello LOST fans! If this site is to be believed, they have juicy spoilers! So, if you don’t want to see what is coming in Season 3, do not click this link.

The island was acquired in 1956 by a consortium of American business men and subsequently used as a base for research into eugenics and life extension.

The ultimate aim of this endeavour was to develop technology which could potentially bring about world peace.

The plane crash never really occured and the survivors’ memories are false. The survivors of flight 815, along with the other inhabitants of the island, are the only surviving members of the human race and the so-called ‘monster’ is really a drug-induced hallucination.

The Others are a group of brainwashed cult members.

The ‘incident’ mentioned in the orientation film refers to the accidental release of the genetically modified virus which has caused the mysterious sickness and pressing the hatch button every 108 minutes prevents the outbreak of ‘the sickness’ on the island.

Claire’s father is on the island, working for the Hanso Foundation.

The numbers represent a physical constant which is central to the physics of time travel.

So, is this part of the game? Is it real? Or are the developer buying time to work on the next phase?

The Hanso Foundation site has been hacked by malicious infiltrators seeking to blemish the good work of many dedicated researchers. Until a legal investigation is complete, the site will no longer be accessible to the public. Namaste.
