Didn't seem that weird to me.

Well, other than '70s-Man.

What, exactly, are you confused about?

My girlfriend and I are only through about 6 episodes, and we ask that question about every 5 minutes

There's one thing I wish JJ would quit doing in both of his shows: the damn clips at the beginning of episodes. Just launch into it, JJ! He'll choose such specific scenes that it's obvious what's coming up and what he wants to focus on. This isn't high school, you don't have to start with an outline! The show is a lot more entertaining if everything unfolds as you go.

I suppose we'll find out at a later date. An interesting anomaly is that the decor would seem to suggest the '70s, but if Jack saw him even as early as his internship, that couldn't have been more than 15 years ago. So either Lost is not set in 2005 or the inferrence that he's been down there since the '70s is incorrect.

Actually, we do have a name for him: Desmond.

So? Label it "Spoilers". And/or ROT13 it.

The fact he's got a pair of Dyson washers puts it in the last 5 or so years.

I think I'll change the title of this thread yet again.

I think it was utterly, totally, completely awesome.

I love how they didn't mess around in the slightest. From the very first frame, they were not cagey in any way, they simply showed us exactly what was going on in the tunnel and who was down there.

I was expecting continued secrecy about the tunnel. Instead, we clearly saw a person, with a computerized control room (albeit with 1970's era technology, which actually makes sense come to think of it). A whole BUNCH of pent-up questions were answered in an instant. Certainly not every question was answered, but those scenes sure knocked down a whole bunch of them.

The hard part is, of course, now that all those questions are answered, there's a whole new set of follow up questions.

Brilliant, brilliant show.

I agree it's a great show, but the most annoying thing is that I downloaded every episode of Season 1 and watched them over a couple of days. Now I have to wait a whole week for each episode, it's going to drive me insane!

Time travel comes to mind as an answer for some things. Like why he seems to be 70s-fied, but has the occasional modern thing. The ages of the weapons might be relevant, too.

I'm not sure I follow. The only question it seemed to answer for me was "what's behind the hatch".

Don't assume Jack saw him the first time. At least don't assume he saw the real person. We've seen other people "seeing things" on the island. It's not a far stretch to suppose this guy Desmond was never in the stadium with Jack in the first place.

And my guess for timeline is that the stadium and accident scenes were about 5 or 6 years in the past.

Of note (but I haven't confirmed for myself) is that the guy who died (in the car accident from the flashback) has the same last name as Boon (now dead) and his sister.

Brief mention of Alias: The EPG description for the premiere is sounding like another big messy pile of JJ crap. Vaughan suspected of being a double agent. Oh boy. Last season started out a giant mess but got better toward the end. I just want to see a solid story from start to finish this time around, sans fromage.

Back to Lost... Everyone else hear the rumor (supposedly from Matthew Fox) that they're supposed to find additional survivors of the crash? Namely the African American lady's husband and the girl Jack met at the bar in one of the flashbacks from the last episodes last season.

I think you're assuming that "he" and "the facility he is residing in" must somehow be chronologically the same. Maybe he just got assigned there, or went there, or some such, and makes do with whatever the facility has got.

It's not uncommon for military facilities to have a mix of old and new technology like that. And it sure looks military to me.

IMDB certainly believe it, Michelle Rodriguez is down as a regular in the cast list from 2005 onwards.

That would explain why they deliberately put those scenes into the clipshow last night, while avoiding lots of other subplots like the smackfarthing and the Korean couple.

With the bunks aside, it looks quite homely, I've seen a few nuclear bunkers in my time (not saying it's a nuclear bunker), and they're decidedly less comfortable.

Maybe it's an abandoned military facility that's been taken over by eccentrics.

Like those people who live in Silos? Some of those places look really cool.

Entertainment, clothes, and all? Is it possible, sure? But unlikely, I think, within the context of the show. Besides, if the outside is quarantined, how did he get there? Is there a link back to somewhere else separate from the island?

Something about making your own kind of music, then again, I've been playing the underground scenes again to look for any clues.
