Favorite Scenes:
1. Jin and Sun
2. Sawyer revealing to Jack that he met his father in the bar
3. Walt giving Vincent to Shannon (Holy Crap is she a bitch, the shit she did to Sayid... wow)
I'm sure there were more scenes but those really stood out.
This episode was so good. CAn't wait till next week.

The "bon voyage" scene dragged on for so damn long, I kept waiting for something horrific to happen to the boat and its crew. But nothing happened.
Guess that's for next episode.

I also really liked the opening scene and how it related to the first flashback. Walt wakes up early at the hotel and then wakes up first on the island and sees the french woman. I also like how she basically gives her warning and then it cuts to commercial.
other things I liked:
a variety of flashbacks- using more than one character kept me interested in the flashbacks
Hurley trying to pronounce Arzt
Sawyer pitching in
Finding out the monster is the others' security system and seeing Locke avoid it
This episode felt so complete, half way through I already knew it would my favorite yet. I had been becoming uninterested in the show because of the slow development, but this got me back into it.
Also, the black rock being a ship caught me totally off guard.
Forgot to add. I also liked the scene where Charlie was looking at the paper that Hurley wanted to put in the bottle. LOL.
someone on the msg board below speculated that
These sites are pretty cool www.lost-tv.com and http://lost-media.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=469&page=4 has captures of this last episode

I think it's an extended uncut version of the original pilot.
Hah, I completely blanked there. I was like, Leslie... the two new characters were Arzt and Ana-Lucia...cubanb said:
Anyway, great episode. I really think that the show's found a good voice after seemingly struggling for a few episodes after Locke's first one. There's been a great balance of plot development and character moments. It's definitely gotten stronger as it goes on. There's more subtlety in the manner in which plot developments occur and even in the basic filmmaking process (cinematography, staging, etc). I'm sure some confidence from ratings and the fanbase, along with increased cashflow, helped there.
I liked the long sad yet triumphant scene with the raft setting off. We all know shit's going to go down, but I thought it worked as a preview showing how the survivors can pull together and get shit done. Plus, it seems natural to spend time on it. You don't crash from a plane, build a raft and send a few people out on it without big fanfare.
All the other great moments have been mentioned. It's gonna be a doozy next week.

good episode.....I hope Arzt doesnt just turn into a redshirt next episode.
and yeah! the monster returned!
and yeah! the monster returned!
as of a week or two ago I was getting a serious "Sphere" vibe from the hatch. I even went as far as to think locke may have already entered it. The whole materialization of subconcious thought etc. with the polar bear/walt goes right along with it. But I am not so sure now.
I am curious how they are going to resolve the raft, becuase they can't really get rescued, and they can't really kill them all either (well the could).
Speculation of next week based on the previews:
What do you think?

Speculation of next week based on the previews:
Danielle will kidnap Claire's baby because she is capable of dissapearing into the jungle, as she pointed out, in her mind she is protecting the baby from the thing she couldn't protect her own child from. Sayid comes to understand what they are up against and does not try to stop her, Charlie gets pissed and rails on Sayid
She's joining the cast next year as a regular. So unless Jack has been ignoring her and her him she is probably elsewhere on the island. And she might have others with her. I was also thinking they would not make it far from shore before something happened.alejob said:

Yeah, that's really the most probable explanation. I bet they've got something bigger up their sleeve for the closing scene(s), since it's supposed to be a major cliffhanger with everything up in the air but I'd be surprised if we didn't discover other castaways, well at least her.
We can safely assume she's not among the current batch of survivors since she was in the back of the plane and they made a point that they never found that section of the plane in the early episodes. Now, how she materializes is a good question. The front of the plane is inland, the middle is on the beach... and given the footage of the explosion on the plane, one could assume the back ended up at sea.android said:

Here's the transcript from Lost-TV
Code:
Boone [to the radio]
Hello. Hello. Anybody out there? Mayday, mayday.
Locke
Boone, there's no time. Get out now.
Radio Voice
Is someone there?
Boone
Hello. Hello. Can you hear me?
Radio Voice
Repeat your transmission please.
Boone
Hello. We're survivors of the crash of Oceanic flight 815, please copy.
Locke [overlapping]
Boone, get out!
Radio Voice
Hello. We're the survivors of Oceanic flight 815(?).
Locke [overlapping]
Boone, get out.
[The plane falls and flips over. Locke struggles to get up and gets Boone to carry him back to Jack.]ZootedGranny

The interesting thing about the Boone scene was that what I heard that night, and the sound clip they put up on the official Lost site were two completely different things. Maybe they had to axe a storyline, or maybe they'll stretch it into next season.
I would assume so. I just remembered that this was the only episode I missed and downloaded. I checked it out, and it's absolutely impossible to tell what's said at the beginning of their response because Locke's finishing his statement. It could be "we're" or "there're" but I don't hear a "no", although I couldn't say definitively on the latter. It's definitely said in way that implies immense doubt and confusion.Socreges said:

Then you must not watch much HBO.
Did anything happen after the raft sailed away?
On my version, it looks like it got cut off early, I don't get the "LOST" at the end like I usually do and just as it's finishing, it looks like a new scene is about to fade in. Might just be a glitch :/ It looks like the black smoke, was that the first shot of the preview?

after raft sails, fade to black. Fade back in onto a sort of sepia toned shot of the black smoke with a drohning buzz sound effect, scene fades into normal color then "LOST".SFA_AOK said:

You didn't miss much except for the atmosphere of the music over the final shot of the black smoke.

Something tells me that Jin's time may be up The look on Suns's face when they were drifting away (one of the coolest TV moments in recent time btw).. yeep. Not looking good at all.
The look on Suns's face when they were drifting away (one of the coolest TV moments in recent time btw).. yeep. Not looking good at all.While it makes good drama, it sucks that basically everyone on the raft is now expendable. Michael and Walt have bonded, and their little arc sort of closed with Walt admitting to burning the first raft. Plus, Walt gave away Vincent in a big gesture. Jin apologizes to Sun, ending their separation (at least emotionally). Sawyer tells Jack about his encounter with Jack's dad, and he's finally been contributing on his own free will, in direct contrast to his early ways.
I can't see Walt dying though, since we know he's got powers. I could see him possibly disappearing though... ending up with the Others or something. It'd be weird if he came back to the survivors what with his giving away the dog. Plus, he's a kid.
Michael, Jin and Sawyer though, their current island arcs are resolved, more or less. It might not be looking good for someone.

This was a very good episode...but it was obviously incomplete. I think someone said that it seemed very cohesive, and I do not doubt that. The multiple backstories and the general storylines all worked well together and it was very entertaining television.
At the same time, it was clear that this was 1 1/2 hours of Lost pared down to an hour, leaving an ending that was more or less strange. Alias and Lost were originally supposed to have 1 1/2 hours a piece this week and next, but due to Americal Idol this was shifted to 1/2 followed by 2/1. So, originally, this hour of Lost was supposed to be an hour and a half and likely had a bit of a final note for the dynamite seekers. It seemed like we forgot about them after the big goodbye sequence, and the cut to the black smoke was clearly added to keep the episode from coming off as extremely happy.
There was nothing wrong about the episode...just makes me anticipate seeing the Black Rock up close next week. Screw Idol (I haven't watched in weeks due to Alias anyways), all I want is Lost goodness. Can't wait.

Are you sure? I thought this episode was always supposed to be only an hour long.
EDIT:
On a related note, here's a description of a scene that was cut from the episode:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/episodes/2004-05/23.html
Back at the beach, Claire asks Rousseau how she knows her. She can't place it, but she knows they have met before. But that's impossible, and Rousseau says as much. Claire tells her about Ethan kidnapping her, that she escaped, but she can't remember how. Rousseau ignores her and busies herself with the new hiking boots she has obviously liberated from the camp. Something seems to click inside Claire. "You saved me, didn't you? That's why I remember you, you saved me from him." Rousseau gives a quick look to Claire and then to the baby. "We have never met." And with that she walks away.
This explains why Danielle had on new hiking boots, which I was wondering about after I noticed them in a shot of them walking in the jungle. I spoilered it, as it may have been cut because they didn't want us to know
of Danielle possibly saving Claire and her child from the Others, yet.
This was kind of a nothing episode, just building to the finale which should be awesome.
The whole raft thing is wierd, they've set it up so they could escape (Michael saying "We might not be able to find the island again", so the others might not get rescued) but you kinda think that they will fail. But they cant kill off Walt, theres wayyyyyy to much going on with him to kill him.
So im guessing something attacks the raft, maybe another monster (Protecting the island) and you'll think everyone is dead, but Walt will wash up on shore at the start of season 2.
The hatch thing is wierd too, Locke still knows more than he's letting on (he saw the light), and lets not forget, earlier in the season, he stood toe to toe with the monster and survived.
My current thinking is that theres 2 sets of other people on the island...the Others..with their black smoke etc seem like they might be some kind of native maybe? And whatever is under the hatch is what the Monster(s) are protecting.
Question on this weeks ep...Is the Black Rock the fabled ship that brought polar bears to the island? (Circus animals)
