Good luck guessing — those writers need to get a kick or three in the groin!

I just erased most of my post because I got LOST in my thoughts. Can’t wait until tonights show.[/quote]

I totally agree- Russeau (however its spelled) creeps me out. I’ve always thought she was a crazy lady since the first time we saw her & she kept PETTING Sayid. I get that she’s excited that she’s found her daughter but why is she so quick to get involved in the Losties war? I would think after so many years of raving about her lost Alex she would want to whisk her daughter away from all the madness about to happen so she wouldn’t lose her again.

I’m waiting for everyone to start posting about tonight’s episode because I can’t even begin to sort out my thoughts about it yet!!

How does he “know” someone has killed Naomi, unless Naomi gives the code?[/quote]

Well if someone were to tell me to pass along an “I love you” message I would assume they didn’t expect to be able to say it themselves because they were expecting to die. He knew she was really hurt, she sounded like crap on the phone and then ended with a message to pass on. Also then she slumped over so maybe he heard the thump or realized when the phone call broke that she couldn’t talk anymore because she was dead.

And I think it’s strange that Miles is the only one who really seems to care about her being dead. Charlotte seems like she really just wants to explore the island and pick the survivors’ brains, the pilot (I forget his name) also seems like he wants to know what happened and Dan just seems confused. Miles has a different sort of intensity than the rest of them- he doesn’t care about the people on the island (his sarcastic comment to Jack), he seems like the only one focused on the task at hand and like he is the only of the 4 that REALLY wants to get in & get out.[/quote]

Daniel cared about Naomi dying as he wanted to take the body back. Frank was a little more practical but promised to bring her on his second run.

Miles would have a huge reason to get in and get out if he can hear the voices of everyone who died there. He also showed himself to be pretty faded in his flashback, trying to get a extra $100 out of the grandmother. A truly honest person would have given her the money he found in the wall.

If you’ve really watched both of these films (not just reading about their plot-line from someplace like IMDB), you’d see that they have everything to do with Lost.
Basically they are the building blocks of the show.
(“Jessica” truly has the most of the revelations of where Lost is ultimately headed) The rest is just ‘filler’ attached to draw you in deeper, mislead you down alternate rabbit-holes, and, of course, make the series last longer…good for us since negots. are over – Yay! Hope this gives you enough info, I can’t really go into to much…as they say magic is no fun if all the secrets are revealed!

Naomi had just overtaken Kate. Kate ASKED her to lie to the people on the freighter to help them. She then lied over the phone about how she had gotten injured, but she didn’t really HAVE to. She was dying anyway, she had already ambushed Kate and wasn’t being held at gun/knifepoint. So why use a code? There would be no point in using a “help me” code RIGHT after you chose to lie of your own accord, at least it does not make sense to me.

Or maybe the code means something totally different than “I need help”. The other freighties were already planning on coming down to the island and she was on her way to dead so why would it be a signal to come to the island? I don’t really think the mission was to “Get in & get out”. Why did so much time pass between Naomi landing and the freighties coming? They wouldn’t be chosen to be the backup- they seem to have little to no combat or intelligence training and I’m sure Naomi wouldn’t want to rely on them.

So I think that the “Tell my sister I love her” comment was either meant literally and Naomi has a sister, or it was code for something else important that they would need to know before landing. That second possibility is vague too though- it obviously wasn’t telling them anything about Ben, Naomi didn’t really learn anything about him; they already knew there were survivors on the island (Jack & Kate’s phone calls confirmed this), and they were shocked to realize there were natives… So what could it be?[/quote]

Actually I just watched part of ep. 2 again. When they first approach Miles playing unconcious on the beach, the question he asks Kate is, “where’s naomi…the person YOU killed.”
