Heh, sorry Border.
I think there's potential to learn quite a bit about the island tonight(or at least kill a few theories), so I'm not turned off too much by the description.
What does turns me off, is Nick and Jessica's Family Christmas which follows. I'll take an acid enema over suffering through something like that.

Damn, I didn't get the Alias preview on my station, probably chose to air Canadian ads instead. Great episode though....
argh, crazy episode...opening up so many more questions.
there had to have been a reason they kept showing Locke at the end. Either he's a spy for the bad guys (after meeting that "thing" in the woods...) or something else

Not really.
I think the reaction you're seeing is from the twist(which everyone probably saw coming a mile away) tacked on to the end of what had been a pretty liesurely-paced episode. Very poorly directed, in my opinion.
The preview for next week does look promising though. A "chase" episode.
It's funny, I usually forget what was in the previews by the time the next episode rolls around. Then when the episode airs I'm always like "Oh yeah, I remember seeing that last week".
No major discoveries in the "Next Week" preview, though I think without seeing it you can tell that there is obviously going to be a lot going on.
TVTome's episode guide describes the next episode as "Jack-centric". That's nice, but I was kind of hoping we could have a few episodes that weren't 50% flashbacks.

Very simply put...uh, wow?
For any fans of Alias, got a total Alias vibe from the episode.
Preview for next week (CTV's anyway) was:
which I believe is the last until January. They're reairing the pilot on the 15th.

The whole psychic's prophecy thing was like textbook JJ. I mean, this is absolutely insane.
I still contend that Rousseau gave birth to a baby on the island, and it has some control over this shit. A great way to end this episode, really. It kind of all came full circle.
On the whole, because of the Alias vibe of the flashbacks, I dug it. Definitely picked up once we got to the finale. Tom Cruise's cousin is teh EVIL

Preview for next week (CTV's anyway) was:
"We've got to find Charlie and Claire!" Locke, Jack, Kate, Boone, etc. all run off into the jungle searching for them. 'Brave the jungle' the voiceover dude said. So, chances are that, in fact, the whole monster thing may be coming into play more specifically next week...

Best episode since the Locke story. I had no problems with the pacing and liked how they ended it.
"Canada huh. I love their, um, um.... Oh well see ya" :lol :lol :lol
There was an eerie tension build up with the fortune teller and baby. So, when they discovered that there was one extra dude it made for an excellent OH SHIT moment.

You know,
Sawyer is smart - and suspicious of others enough - to have probably looked over the manifest himself. It seems to me like there's a good chance he already knew that there was an extra person on the island. Maybe that's why he was so willing to hand the manifest over to Hurley ... he wanted the other survivors to realize that Ethan was an extra person?
Slow start to tonights episode but man did it hit me in the head. I kind of new something was up with the evil canadian when i saw his basket and how well weaved it was. Made me kind of think a little, but the thing about the fortune teller was a little freaky. Why would he send her to this fate?
In real life, yeah. But on the show? I can't remember where they said she was from.Mugen said:
Hmm.. maybe it was Canada. I remember the farmer asking her. Yeah, come to think of it, she did say Canada.
Alright, nevermind!
Oh, and she's awesome. I saw her in an interview. She has a wonderful personality, beyond being beautiful.
Cool episode, after a couple that I didn't think worked as well.
Hurley is great. I loved his comments about his name, and his little investigation, even though he wasn't very good at it.
Locke remains quite the enigma, especially with his appearance in Claire's dream. He's someone to watch out for, what with his mysterious survival of the monster encounter and all.
I might add that I think it's bullshit that the synopsis that ABC gave it is just plain factually incorrect. No character even remotely suggested the idea that her dreams were coming true.
Oh, and this was the tenth episode, so there are still three more episodes to conclude the initial order. I checked, it was definitely 13 episodes. The 11th episode is merely the last we get before the break, but it's not the last of the initial order.
I was suspicious of Ethan when he appeared in the last episode, but the moment Charlie sent him to get Jack, I knew the trouble was coming.

The 11th airs next week. The 12th episode will air sometime in January, and if I had to guess I'd say January 12th since the 5th has the two hour Alias premiere. So... about a month 
I don't think there'd be a reason for a break between the 13th and 14th since the additional 9 episodes were ordered back in October. I doubt ABC would want a break just a couple episodes in during the new year. At most a week.

So the add'l 9 episodes are still part of the first season? Rockin'.
Yes, definitely. We'll get a full 22 episodes this season. ABC's splitting it even, 11 episodes in late '04, 11 episodes in the first half of '05. Not sure how that will work though, considering there's a longer traditional broadcast period for the winter/spring period. Will they end Lost before May sweeps, or spread it out with reruns or other specials peppered throughout?
Good call, but Hurley has the manifest now, so he'd be able to figure out Sawyer's real name, unless of course Sawyer had his name legally changed to Sawyer. Kate's the only one who knew, at least before this episode, that Sawyer wasn't his birth name.
So, either Sawyer's name on the manifest is Sawyer, or Hurley knows his real name now. Otherwise, at least logically, he would have been confused about the identity of someone on the manifest.

Yeah, I can't help but wonder whether Sawyer already knew what Hurley was about to find out (see my post above) and was trying to make sure Hurley figured it out too.
It's actually just called a manifest. He is trying to catalog the passengers, not learn the principal teachings of Karl MarxDan said:

Well who ever figured that out prolly just got done readin the Da Vinci Code.
Or so she says. She was on the run remember.

Locke makes a huge discovery. Someone will build a raft to try to escape. We'll meet other folks on the island who weren't on the plane, and learn two secrets about Hurley. The Bermuda Triangle continues to overlap with the Jack-Kate-Sawyer Triangle. (''I have a feeling that in the near term, it'll be Sawyer and Kate, and in the long term, it'll be Jack and Kate,'' says Fox. ''[But] there's not a whole lot of room for romance in the situation that these people are dealing with.'') Let's also heed this advice from Lindelof: ''The flashbacks serve as a great conduit to learn more about these characters, but that's not all they're there for. The idea that these people way before they got on this airplane have interacted with each other either directly or through third parties is one of the cool pieces of tapestry of the show.''
Also, at some point soon, Sayid links up romantically with one of the other women on the island.
As for the crazy animals, a cargo plane shipping zoo animals also crashed on the island once. This will become evident in the next few eposides.

Im surprised no one else mentioned this but I knew [Spoiler}something was up with Ethan for sure when Charlie found him because he was carrying a pile of sticks, sticks just like the one that hit Syied (or however you spell his name) over the head. Ethan obviously did that.[/Spoiler]

Awesome episode. Next week looks intense.
I wonder if Ethan could be the "Alex" that Danielle (the French woman) spoke of?
And do you think we'll eventually see a reappearance of Jack's father?
