What did people think of the Kate episode?

I really liked the on-island stuff.  Smokey not being able to cross the fence was very cool, but why didn't it just go over?   Oh well, I really liked it.  The flashback wasn't that great, but not horrible.  I think it was better than the last Kate flashback.

I thought the Epsiode was alright. The on island stuff was good, and I was thinking just like you why the smoke did not just go over the fence. I am not really sure what to make of Juliet, she was left behind by the others, but I get the feeling that was all planned out. If I was the Losties I would not trust her.

I agree the flashback was so so, it did not really reveal anything for either Kate or Cassidy. The only thing was a connection between Kate and Sawyer off island.

I really like Hurley, he brings a real fun part to the show, and him tricking Sawyer into being nice was fun to watch.

I liked the episode, I don't trust Juliet (even though I like the character), I still think she is working for the others. Yeah I thought it was kind of bad that the smoke didn't go over the wall like the humans (I guess the smoke isn't as smart). Also why oh why are they leaving the "others" town. I would go back to the beach and get everyone. They have houses, plumbing and electricity. I guess this still can happen but I doubt it. I wonder where the Others went as well as Locke.. I heard Locke is going to be gone for the next five episodes. Guess will wait and see.

lol  yeah the stuff between Hurley and Sawyer was great.  They are becoming quite a duo.

And I was thinking that too.  Why don't they just move to Othersville?     

and I don't trust Juliet either.  I'd like to trust her, but Sayid doesn't and he's a pretty good judge of character.   Personally, I think Jack vouching for Juliet will cause problems for him.  I think that the other Losties won't see him the same, and won't see him as the leader they once did.

Ok episode.  Why does Jack seem to forget so quickly that she was one of the Others and held him and his friends prisoner?  Sorry, that's not something I could get over so easily.  I don't trust Juliet either, even if she seemed to end up on the island against her will.  Loved the Hurley and Sawyer stuff.

I liked tonights episode, answered some questions about Claire and her Abduction, and why Ethan was there in the first season. As well it was interesting to see how the others were getting information on the losties. Ben seems to have quite a hold on people. I knew that Juliet was not to be trusted, though it is difficult to read her face to see if she is going to carry Bens plans out, or turn on the Others.
This is a weird thing to say, but I felt that I almost got to much information in this episode.

I really liked this episode.   

I kinda thought Juliet was a plant, but I never thought they had planned it all so perfectly.    I have to admit, at the end when they were doing that montage, and everyone was happy I was thinking, "Oh come on, please don't end on this, 'we all love juliet' stuff".

AND THEN, they went to her talking to Ben and I was blown away.  That's why I love Lost.  It was all a plan.  But why is she there???   Is it simply to check on Claire, and maybe even Sun?  Or is it a longer term thing.  The whole thing was for her to gain the trust of the Losties, and it looks like she did that with most of them.  I say most, cause I don't think Sayid or Sawyer will trust her, and if Sayid wants answers from her, he will get them! 

I also loved the part in the flame.  Where we find out that Patchy will shoot you, no matter who you are. LOL   And all those TVs.  Wow.

Great Episode.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved this episode. At first I thought Juliet was a plant by Ben but then they showed her flashbacks and she really wanted to go home and I started to feel bad for her and really thought she was good and was going to be part of our beach group.. but then WHAM!!!! you get the last scene with Ben and it was a OH MY GOD moment!!! I was yelling at my TV.. no way!!! no way!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW.

Do you guy listen to any Lost Podcasts? 

There are so many.  But if you want to hear me, I call into the Live Cranky Fanatic Podcast. :)   It's a great one.  He does it right after the show airs so we all are excited, and give our first impressions.

There are SO many though, I try to listen to a lot of them, but can't listen to them all.

I use to listen to quite a few of them but now that time is short I only listen to Delta park gets Lost podcast.. and sometimes the offical podcast as well.

Sorry guys - I mean how dumb is Jack?  Why in the world should anyone trust Juliet?  She and the "Others" have kidnapped, and tortured the castaways.  I'm sorry, but if anyone ever did that to me I would never forgive them or trust them again - period.  It's just all very hard for me to swallow.

But they did give us some new insights into the inner workings of the "Others", etc.  An interesting episode, but I am reminded of what Scotty said on Star Trek....  "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."


markinro

yeah, I'm with you on this one.  Sayid, Sawyer are on the right track.   This is one Jack who does not live up to his name.  I'll admit, I too was duped but when I saw the last five minutes -- Stewie says it best "You SUCK !"

True, you may or may not have trusted her, but the show is about them, not us. We may be able to identify with certain characters, but you have to admit, Jack did what was in his character, especially after all he's been through. I think he's casting about now for a handhold, and who has been through the most with lately? Juliet. She tried to kill Ben, and was branded, and outcast, and finally, fixed Claire. Jack is being manipulated to trust her, and now he does, mainly because his psyche has been so jacked by his recent events.

You, me, all of us -- we may not have trusted her. Sayid and Sawyer certainly don't, and the rest of them may still have their misgivings. But Jack is purely a creature of reason, cause, and effect, and he follows his head and what he can see, not his assumptions or feelings. He proved that with the button. And what Jack sees is a lonely, scared, tired, stranded outcast that he can "fix".
Admiral Piett: Impossible! Are calcs proves us otherwise.

The following story contains Minor SPOILERS for the Season 3's final episodes of "Lost."

Producers have planned some major surprises in the upcoming final episodes of "Lost," but unfortunately, none of those surprises will be a new time slot for the show that has struggled in the ratings, but still remains one of television's top 25 programs.

TV Guide's amazing scoopmaster Michael Ausiello released some very interesting details in his Wednesday "Ask Ausiello" columm.

"Get ready to clutch your pearls: I'm told there will be at least five -- count 'em, five -- deaths on 'Lost' during the month of May," Ausiello said, without going into detail on who they might be.

To make things better, "Lost" executive producer Carlton Cuse told Ausiello that the season finale will finally feature the matchup that viewers have been screaming at their television sets for all along. It seems that Jack (Matthew Fox) and Locke (Terry O'Quinn) will finally meet at sun-up in front of the ol' saloon.

"Let's just say the end of the season features a showdown between Jack and Locke -- a showdown long anticipated anda showdown with an extremely significant outcome for the future of the castaways," Cuse said.

Sorry Locutus, but I have to disagree with you about Jack.  Yes, he follows his head and is one of the most sensible, logical of the "losties."  Which is why he should be one of the last to trust Juliet.  She has given him no reason to really trust her.  Logically there is no reason to think she has changed sides.  Truthfully, I think he has feelings for her and that's what is clouding his judgment.  But, I'm ok with that to a degree.  I just think after everything he went through with the Others it's a bit hard to see why he would becomes so trusting.
