I've got a fucking antenna on my TV that barely even gets the channel with Lost on it. Anything not during the day looks like shit, and specific details are impossible to make out.
So, I just saw "Large, greyish object with the numbers on it".
Noticed nothing to do with light.

No no.. I know what the numbers were on!!! I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS WERE *freaks out*
Heh, pissed off giraffe.
Well, not much really happened, but there was some funny stuff.
But the really fascinating detail is that Locke built a crib for Claire's baby. Remember, she had a dream about Locke and a crib back in the episode where Ethan abducted her. I don't recall all the details, but it upset her right?

That door is an egg with the devil's seed in it. It lures people to the island to feed on them before it's finally ready to take on the world and inslave everyone.
That chick's baby is Jesus part 2. The baby will fight the devil's kid and the show will turn into an all out sci fi action dbz type slug fest with a battle that will last two seasons.
BeLIEve it!
I need scissors!

Not much happened? French lady revealed, possible reason for plane crash and reason for French lady being there. A key clue in the mystery of the island.
LOTS OF STUFF HAPPENED.
Good episode... brought back more of the mystery of the series. The first thing I thought of was Aliens, too.

Maybe the island is powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive!
Correct, not much happened. The French lady really didn't add anything that we didn't learn from the first episode she was in or from what everyone in the audience should have already figured out after Hurley talked with Lenny and the Australian woman. We already knew her boat was shipwrecked while following the signal. We knew she sent out a new signal. The French lady added nothing to this episode, except giving Hurley a battery.olimario said:
After the conversation with the Australian woman, the rest of the show didn't add anything except for an audience-only teaser with the numbers appearing on the hatch, and possibly the revelation that Locke knew it was Claire's birthday before she revealed it. Within the first 10 minutes we knew that Hurley's lottery numbers were linked to the island. There was a lot of filler here, it just happened to be somewhat funny filler.
Belfast said:
Nope, not at all. Hurley himself suffers no bad luck. Note that all three people who have used the numbers in some form (The Guy who heard them and used them for the jelly beans, Rousseau who steered the boat in that direction, Hurley who used them for the lottery) survived pretty well. Hurley was never hurt personally, it was everything he touched that turned to ruin. The original guy crashed his car, but he was fine, even when his wife lost a leg. And then, everyone else on Rousseau's crew died of some sort of crazy illness, but she has survived just fine.
Hurley is not cursed with bad luck...he is cursed with being bad luck.
Dan said:
I have to agree with the fact that nothing major was revealed, but I refuse to believe that there was a lot of filler. There were no major revelations, there was no huge character changes other than understanding Hurley's backstory, but at the same time the whole Numbers thing only further confuses everything. Plus, for what is likely the first time, the cast has finally realized that Locke was right...there are other people on this island, as obviously shown by the bridge over the small gorge. This could very likely be a holdover from Rousseau's time with her entire crew, but at the same time I think that the realities of their situation are starting to settle in. I think that was important. The Claire/Locke thing was good to at least show that Locke is really, really in tune with everything. He's preparing for the baby to come...like he knows it's power.

Bah, thanks for not seeing this

Tell that to the bird he made fly into their sliding door and DIE, bitch! What a fucking lucky bird.
...not opposites. Walt has the ability to basically think something and have it happen. "I'm going to win at Backgammon!" and he does it. "I wonder what these birds are like..." BOOM! Bird flies into door. It has nothing to do with luck.
Calm the fuck down. And Hurley doesn't have good luck. Everything that happened to other people hurt him. I suppose you think the Australian dude blew his brains out because of his good luck. There is no better way to torture someone than to hurt his loved ones and make him feel like he is causing it.Memles said:
android said:
Sorry, it's just that claiming Walt was surrounded by good luck was disrespectful to my Avian friends. I get emotional with them...and facetious. It's a bad habit, I apologize heartily for my calamity.
I never said Hurley had good luck...where did I say Hurley had good luck? I'm confused. While Walt's mother told him he was the luckiest person she knew, that's because what he thinks comes true. If he thought "I want to win that thing" he could probably do it. "Wouldn't a polar bear be cool?" While Hurley is cursed, it has nothing to do with his personal luck. It effects those around him. Walt has much more control, and is less lucky than he is powerful.
Hurley - Cursed to basically destroy the lives of everyone around him.
Walt - possesses the power to project his thoughts into reality.
Two really cool characters with interesting gifts and curses...but not opposites.

Heh, I was expecting that Hurley's episode might be something wacky/comic, and it ends up being a major plot episode.
I'd totally forgotten that Locke worked for a box company and didn't make that connection at all. Good thing you guys are around . There's so many connections in this show that are easy to miss. I'm looking forward to the DVDs so I watch through everything in one swoop and go back over it, knowing what we know now...
edit: Also, I gotta say that I'm worried/wondering if

Hurley will be the main character who dies this season. Especially given what happened to the last guy who used the numbers, it seems like he stands a good chance of either doing himself in outright, or rushing into some dangerous situation in an effort to try to redeem himself to the group (since he feels responsible for the plane crash). On the other hand, I suppose if he was going to kill himself, he would have done it already - and he's made efforts to keep himself alive in the past (e.g. trying to get Jin to suck the poison out of his foot). Still...

So how many people now have we been
off the top of my head...
Good episode. I wonder if Hurley's
Any spoilers out there hinting about the Monster returning soon?
Also, my bet for who
edit:
Can you ellaborate? What are Numbers Station mythos? Is it like numerology? Speaking of numerology, do any of these numbers mean anything significant according to that (though i bet if they do mean anything according to numerology it would probably be misdirection)
lead to believe caused the plane to crash?
off the top of my head...
Walt - Didn't want to leave Australia/Didn't want to go with Michael, has powers.
Claire - the whole prophecy/psychic guy.
Hurley - the numbers
I could have sworn there was someone else too....

Good episode. I wonder if Hurley's
apparent lack of powers since being on the island is a result of no one knowing the nubmers, or just because the island gives everyone a second chance....as Locke has said several times. Of course, its also possible his 'powers' are still in full effect, what with Steve (?) getting killed by Ethan, and all the other crap thats happened.
Any spoilers out there hinting about the Monster returning soon?
Also, my bet for who
dies at the end of the season: Jack. I don't have anything to back it up, I just think he's going to bit it. It would be interesting to kick off Season 2 with the lost group's almost undisputed "leader" gone. I imagine tensions between Sawyer and Sayid flaring without Jack around...I dunno if Kate would be able to step into Jack's role and do it as well as he does, but it would be interesting.

Just to clarify, was Hurley in the mental institute earlier in his life, or did he just work with that guy in the looney bin before the dude went crazy?

By the way, on another board 815 is a number apparently coming up a lot in the show.

What was the flight number of the plane they were all on? Was it 815?

- Oceania Flight 815
- Watches/clocks stuck on 8:15
- Copier Charlie was selling was model C-815
- The lockbox Kate took out of the bank vault was Lockbox 815
I haven't verified any of this for myself, but no one's refuted it yet

well, there were 42 I think. But two have died (one drowned, and one by Ethan)

Well, up to two more have died if you count the pilot and/or the marshall. But maybe they didn't count as survivors in the first place because they died early on.
I'm sure someone's worked out a definitive tally, but I forgot the results
I checked the official website a they say there was 48 survivors on the island. I bet over the years the seasons will end with the number of survivors matching up with Hurleys numbers. They were in sequential order weren't they?

Great episode last night. It showed Hurley as both a comical guy we all love, but someone with a darker, deeper side, and at the same time, opened up the whoe story further. It'll be interesting to see how the numbers play out over the storyline. They were being broadcasted a long time before the french woman and her team arrived, and she obviously understood the curse of the numbers.
BTW, thanks for clarifying what the numbers were stamped on at the end of the show. I was watching it in the bedroom on the TV with shitty reception and I thought they were stamped on the battery that the french woman gave Hurley. The door in the ground makes more sense and opens up the mystery even further.
