It looks like the teams are set, as follows. Team Jacob: Jack, Hurley, Sun, Ilana, Miles, Frank, Richard, with Jacob fading in and out, looking mildly constipated. Team Smokey: Locke, Sawyer, Jin, Sayid, "Silence of the Lambs"-style Claire, a dozen or so Temple rejects, with Smokey fading in and out, occasionally wiping out 20 to 30 people at a time. To be determined: Kate, Ben, Desmond, Widmore. Conclusion: there better be a mercy rule in place, or Team Jacob is gonna get corn-holed.

Great episode! Looks like Kate is in for a wild ride. As for Team Jacob you forgot Ben. He didn't escape through the tunnel with Ilana, but I didn't see him with Team Smokey when Sayid, dirty-hair Claire, and Kate wandered away from the Temple.

Island-time and LA X-time cannot be concurrent. Aaron is 3 years old in Island-time and a newborn in LA X-time.

Yeah, at first I had Ben on Team Jacob, but then I remembered that he was the one who killed Jacob. Consequently, having Ben around might not be good for team morale. But, it certainly sets up a scenario in which Ben is able to redeem himself.

bacabuck - when i read "Island-time and LA X-time cannot be concurrent. Aaron is 3 years old in Island-time and a newborn in LA X-time.".... it got me thinking.
number one, good catch. im glad someone brought up something about concurrent time. but i think because the bomb blast/time shift created the alternate time-line, all bets are off for anything and everything we know about seasons 1-5, (post 1977 flash sideways). just one example to back this up is jack has got a son who is, what... lets say like 14. which means his son was born in at least 1993 in your theory, or 1996 in my theory... both of which are pre-2004 original flight 815 crash/successful landing. which goes back to say that the time-line from 1977 till now has been re-set and re-written.

Great episode? What? Even Jay and Jack didn't say that. Anyone else out there have misgivings that the wonder twins Lindelof and Cuse are going to deliver an ending worty of the past 5 seasons? Or is everyone here muttering the same cult-like mantra of "Despite the 500 questions still out there, the end won't suck"?

[The Real Fake Mark B]

I liked this episode way more than last week. Didn't really care for the off island story but I have yet to like any of them other than Lockes story. It seems to be a series of stories that just want to show how the characters are interconnected in all time lines. OK we get it you can stop now. Unless this is the real time line and what we've seen for the last five seasons is just a "time loop" off to the side. But that would suck.

So did anyone else getting a "The Stand" vibe from this season. The two sides getting set-up for a war. Potentially we some 'spies' in the dark camp (Sawyer, Kate and Jin??) who will betray the dark side at the final moment. Though has Jin really joined the dark-side ? I don't think Kate has but she seems to be tagging along with them for now. Also was the sudden switch of the Others from Jacob to Flockes side really unbelievable or was that jus me. Also where did Ilana-Sun-Lapidus-Ben suddenly appear from ?

The Dogen coming to the island story didn't sound very Jacob like -- it sounded more Man in Black ish.

As for the final ending .... I saw/read/heard an interview with Damon and he said that he thought that the ending would only please about 50% of the fans. The other half would hate it. I think anyone who cares about the tiny details will hate the ending as they can't answers all the questions now, big picture people will love it.

[I wish I was Mark B]

This is great Mark B quit posting (see last post on previous comments section) but we now have two or three dopelgangers of Mark B still posting. Oh what fun we had.

Btw: Yes I've got a Stand vibe this season.

I thought it was a great episode. I dug the "boomerang" or karma motif with Sayid and the Good, Bad and the Ugly-style spaghetti western slo-mo strut at the end.(Or maybe that's The Stand, as others have noted?) I am starting to think that Flocke may not be the baddie, or that he and Jacob may be one and the same, really. Or that they're both a little good, both a little bad like all our Losties. Flocke saying "I always do what I say" was interesting - because clearly(?) he's lying to Claire, Sayid...
Another thought - may seem totally cheesy but do we think there's any connection to the Gordon Lightfoot song "Sundown" with the line "I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again"? Seems sort of relevant, especially with the hope everyone has, and how they constantly get let down - or appear to. I'm really loving Miles' "solitaire" character. He's become a sort of variable - not really on anyone's side. Looking forward to the podcast guys!!

[Mike in the Box]

Season one episode 6 was called "House of the Rising Sun" and this episode (Sesaon 6 episode 6) was called "Sundown." Just thought that the connection was interesting

Enjoyed every episode so far - including this one.
Half the fun of Lost is not really knowing whats going
on.I have no idea about the purpose of the flash sideways
and how it ties up with the on island stuff - or if its
supposed to at all.

You know what would have been perfect...
After Sayid kills Keamy, he walks over to the table
and eats some of Keamys egg.That would've been cool.

[apb]

Or, in the struggle, the plate of eggs gets knocked back, lands on Keamy, and Sayid says "you have egg on your face" before he shoots him.

I heard an awesome theory about lost - sorry if its been on here before.

What if locke was always "claimed" ever since he had his first encounter with the smoke monster? It seems like after that he spent his time trying to mess things up - not punching in the numbers, blowing up the sub, killing naomi, etc. All of that was actually the man in black guiding him so that the losties couldn't get off the island - maybe he thought that they would be neutralized if they stayed, like the people in the temple and richard and the others. They ended up getting off anyways, and he manuevered them to come back with locke's body so he could take locke's form
