Enter 77 (S:3,E:11)

1) I would like to see if the story of the war waged by Dharma on the Hostiles (the Others) is true, or if the Others truly are Dharma. For now...let's say that's what happened. So maybe the hostiles weren't kidding when they said they are good people (as far as they believe). Judging by the experiments that Dharma is known to do, the Others/Hostiles could be a lot like another terrorist organization known as PETA (Yes, my tree-hugging friends, I called PETA a terrorist organization). More interesting to me is the fact that Mikhail said the Hostiles had been there long before Dharma got there.

2) I don't believe that the satellite dish has not worked for years. I believe the 2004 world series video came from this station via its access to the mainland. Jack's files were probably received there. But, I believe that the communications were all knocked out when "the sky turned purple". And now that Locke entered 77, all communication is LOST.

3) If I remember correctly, Kelvin made some comments about the Hostiles as well. Maybe that's why Kelvin was there, at the hatch, with the guns (other than the fact that he was diffusing the magnetic anomaly every 108 minutes). I'm guessing that the advertisement (ad-ver-tiz-ment) "Save the World" will rear its head from time to time. I'm sure that's what Kelvin saw, bringing him to the island. I also believe that's the same ad that Kelvin responded to, because Kelvin told Desmond that he's saving the world.

4) The Flame Hatch makes six now. We've seen the Swan (where Desmond was), Arrow (where the Tailies housed themselves), Medical (where Ethan Rom took a pregnant Claire), and the Pearl (Where they monitored other stations). Regarding the similarities to Apollo's constellations, the Flame could be direct reference to Apollo, who represents the sun, with the Pearl referencing his twin sister Artemis, who represents the moon (See this link). [EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes...I can't count]

5) Sawyer's character is changing. He seems to be getting away from the guy that everybody hates, and getting closer to the guy that everyone is growing to like. The role is very big brother-ish, in my opinion. They seem to be looking up to him, but they all want to one-up him. It's interesting to see how they show the scenes where he's thinking of Kate. Ever wonder who gave him those glasses he was playing with?

6) How was Mikhail not able to beat a computer chess game (though it was programmed by 3 grand masters, according to Mikhail), but Locke beats it twice in one afternoon? Also, did anyone notice that Locke actually didn't win? The computer could have protected its King. Kudos to D.U. for finding this. The Bishop could have protected the King. This isn't oversight. There is something to the "computer cheats" thing.

7) Why would Danielle disappear like that when she's supposed to be looking for her daughter? Again, D.U. hits the nail on the head. We still don't know much about Danielle. She could be an "Other" for all we know.

8) I'm actually surprised that Sayid confessed to the torture in the end. He did a great job of convincing me that he didn't do it. I was sure that there was some mix up. But, we see that Sayid was definitely guilty of something, like most of the Losties are. But, in the end, Samy's wife teaches Sayid compassion and forgiveness, which he passed on to Mikhail.

9) Next episode is called Par Avion, and is based on this character. (Note: I want to minimize spoilers for anyone that may want as little of the show spoiled as possible, hence the link to the character)
