You make it sound like that detracts from her appeal. Not so for me...

i think that adds to her appeal.

yeah...how can they do another season of this? as good a show as it is...they should do everyone's background and end it somehow.

There are a lot more people on the island that haven't been introduced. I can see them getting a few seasons out of it, but I don't see how this would be a 8 season show.

Two questions:

1) If the monster really was a hallucination brought on by something (maybe injury or that paste), how do you explain Jack and Kate seeing the monster in Episode 2 (The second part of the pilot)? How do you explain the death of the pilot of the aircraft, or was that a hallucination as well?

2) What does the compass have to do with anything? Are we to assume that Locke was misinterpreting directions the whole time, since his compass was off? I remember when he told a tied-up Boone that the camp was 1 hour due west (or something like that). If his compass was wrong, then that would not lead him to camp.
My take on this:

1) Boone knows there is a monster on the island. The pilots death and the accounts from the people that have seen it and the noises they heard in the first couple episodes have everyone convinced there is a beast roaming the island. Before Locke left, he said, you will be able to free yourself when you have the "right motivation". The paste caused him to hallucinate the one thing that would motivate him - Shannon in danger. And what better villian than "the monster". So, I think the monster exists, but in this case it was just a character in the hallucination.

2) Not sure exactly what this means. I took Lockes giving it away as a sign he had learned how to navigate around well enough without it. I think the fact that it is slightly off suggests there is a large chunk of metal distorting it (like the buried metal chamber perhaps (if it was really big)). The compass is still useful because the distortion is constant, i think locke was just saying it as an fyi

eeh i don't know about this episode. i just watched it earlier before the game.

ever since the month break from before xmas, i just haven't been excited about this show. not to mention last week's episode was the worst episode yet, and we were left with such a cliffhanger back in december.

then the episode this week was also pretty weak IMO. i also am starting to see how horrible the majority of the actors on this show are. most of them just suck heh.

however i will continue to watch it because i already have seen all 13 episodes!

PS, does anyone have a link to the next week scenes? i missed that.
