Yes I know this is my only post since my last Lost post so please forgive me all who read this and have never seen Lost. Just go to another fun website like Woot.com and enjoy the deal of the day. But get ready because for all you Lost fanatics this post is going to be fun!

I’m going to talk about last nights episode first and then we’ll dive into more crazy theories so buckle up. I know everybody knows by now that the Numbers are everywhere so I will not point out the many different times it was used last night but trust me the Numbers where everywhere. My thought about the Numbers is there has to be something the Numbers actually spell out. Maybe through some code, 4-8-15-16-23-42, is a word that means something.

You know my theory that Juilet jumps sides right? Well, last night was great as Jack was getting into her head. Oh you gotta love it. “I think she likes him, I think she looooves him…” And how about the xray with the tumor? Is it Ben? What’s crazy though is if someone is sick with a tumor then what happened to the powers of the island? That would throw my theory of sick kids being thrown on the island to be healed out the window. (so I think they are screwin with Jack’s mind) And speaking of kids being thrown on the island…do some math and you’ll notice that Ben said he has been there all his life right. Ben has to be in his 40s. Well, the Dharma stuff came into the picture around 1980. So 2+2= people where on the island before Hanso and his clown’s ruined everything. Chew on that for awhile.

So Ben is messin’ with Sawyer’s little brain. I love it. I love the way they are trickin people. The little tests. Cuffin’ Jack to the table, asking Kate does she love him, and making Sawyer think he will die if his heart rate gets too high. And I know everyone loved the scene where Kate is changing and Sawyer thinks he’s about to die because the monitor starts beeping…too funny. So lets discuss the island that Sawyer sees. Was anyone hoping it was going to be San Francisco??? But to discuss the island we must first talk about something Ben said in the 1st part of last night’s episode…

Jack is working Juilet over and is starting to get the upper hand when Ben comes rushing in. It’s hard to hear but if you live in the World of Tivo you can rewind 10 times and what Ben whispers to Juilet is, “The sub is back.” Holy Hugo and ranch did Ben say SUB?!?! That’s right folks…the Others are using a sub to get around. It starts to explain a lot if you think about it. How they sneak up on the sail boat and how they get from island to island. Which then leads me to the island Sawyer is shown. I think that is the Main Island where the Losties are. But I also think that is where the cute little village is as well. So when Sun shoots Cole they rush her back on the Sub. Another reason I believe the cute village is on the Main Island is when Ben gives orders to Ethan and Goodwin he tells them to “hurry and go gather information and return in 3 days”. So they are off on foot, splitting up to go get info. Which now leads me to another thought that is going to tickle your pickle. If we try and make sense of all this then here’s what we’re going to realize…

Remember what happens at the Tail Section camp? The reason they all go crazy… It’s because a group came and killed people and took the kids. Now do we remember Crazy Ben’s order? Which leads us all to believe there are some dirty folks running around. Dirty Others. Oh baby! This is why the Others had make up and costumes…to try and look like the Dirty’s. The Dirty’s I think have been there for a long time. Way before the Others got there and before Dharma arrived. Maybe that’s why they are so pissed and killing people. Oh and remember Black Rock with the Pirate Ship? Maybe that’s how the Dirty’s got to the island. And I’m not even going to mention the GIANORMOUS foot statue from last season…

So we know Ben has been there all his life. But Juilet said she was a fertility doctor right? Well, I doubt she took online courses to learn how to do all the doctor stuff. Not to mention the huge locker room with 100 lockers and community showers. What is all that about? Maybe Juilet came as a part of Hanso and young doctors to learn and do experiments on babies and children. What if at one time there were 75 doctors learning all kinds of crazy things. And then something went wrong. And Ben or whoever went postal on them and that is the “horrible thing” that happened a long time ago. Maybe that is why Juilet doesn’t really like Ben. Just love it!

Anyone sense the tension of a possible love triangle with Hippie Jesus and Charlie/Clair??? Oh, and I guess other people can see Desmond. Hey, not all my theories pan out!

Another thing to pick up on is when Sawyer was knocked out and is waking up on the table. Ol’ Zeke’s comment is, “ever sense the purple haze our com’s have been down.” Which means the Other’s have lost communication. Maybe they can not talk with the outside world any more. Maybe it’s from island to island. Who knows?!?! Remember the cable Syiad finds coming from the ocean into the Main Island? Possibly the way they communicate from island to island.

Ok please do not spell check or critic my grammer because it will all be horrible. I have thrown this together just to get some discussion going. If you are a Lost watcher and read this please post a comment. Everyone would love to hear from you!

And how about the scary guy with the patch in the next 2 episodes…it’s getting good ladies and gents…it’s getting gooood!!!

Ok, so for all the Lost fans out there that want to give up after last nights episode please hang in there. They are setting up the next couple episodes so episode 6 will be a BANG and leave us dying for more come Feb.

Remember in my last post where I asked the question what is it that Jack is thinking about? Well, I think I have a theory. It’s when Ben says, “I can take you home.” Ben acted like it was easy, and home was just right around the corner. I think the light bulb that went off in Jack’s head was we’re not 1000s of miles away…maybe home is just a boat ride across the bay. Who knows…

Well, it looks like my theory on the Others being kids on the island is coming true. You ready for me to throw a huge hail mary out there? I think the Others were brought to the island because they were all kids that had terminal illnesses. I think the parents of these kids either gave them up for experimentation to Hanso or the parents actually did come with them but then some how died on the island. Regardless I believe the Others are trying to redeem their past. Something bad happen and their goal is to “make right”. I think what they are trying to do with Jack, Sawyer, and Kate is to make them “good”. But don’t be fooled, Ben has lost his mind and I think in the end we’ll see that he has forgotten the true reason they are trying to help and will take things “too far”. And that’s what will be the big division that makes Juliet jump sides to help the Losties.

Ok, now lets discuss the one good thing that happened in last nights episode. Hurley finds naked Desmond running in the woods and gives him a size XXXL tie die to wear. Why in the world is Desmond naked? And he can now see into the future? My word. My thinking is Desmond died and came back to life. He was “reborn”. I know I know…I’m insane but it makes sense. And the island gave him the ability to see the future, all knowing if you will. I think whatever happened to Desmond is closely tied in with Black Smoke. Could Desmond become a key figure? Notice he had a full beard? He went to the future…

I end with this. Something went wrong. Maybe the “experienments” all went wrong. Did you notice kid truck (haven’t we seen that truck before) and bones in the cave. That polar bear said, “Screw you guys and your fish biscuits I’m just going to eat you.”

Crazy stuff. Next week looks great. Kate picks Sawyer and we see Ben going nutso. Love this show.

So the world of OH&H has been a tad quiet and there is no one to blame but SB and SB only. Call it writers block but that would infer that I am a writer. So let’s just say I’ve been lazy.

But nothing like a little bit of LOST to awaken the soul!

Last week as I was trying to come up with theories I threw out the idea that Ben and all the Others have been there since they were kids. It sounded far fetched at the time but per last nights episode it looks like OH&H hits the nail on the head once again.

Things for thought: (my theories on Lost season 3)
Not sure if anyone caught the writing on the top of the over hang at the dock but it said Pala Ferry. Well, when I think of Ferry I think of something that takes me from one place to another. Which would then mean there is something in the near distance that you could “Ferry” to. Chew on that…

Juilet WILL switch sides and break Jack out of that place. I’m saying it now folks…there is something up with her and Ben’s past so we will see some heated events take place this season.

Did you notice at the very end of the episode when Jack was watching the Red Sox game that he had figured something out? Jack has picked up on something and realizes at least a piece of the crazy puzzle.

My theory has been that Carl the kid in the cage that tried to escape was in the tail section of the plane. I still stick to that but why is Alex, the french woman’s daughter, asking Kate where he is? Interesting…

Which then leads me to believe that there are Others that are wanting to leave and get away but can’t. Like Juilet or even Alex. I think this is why Ben freaked out when he heard there was a sail boat. Because he is afraid people could escape. Which leads me to believe you can get off the island if you want.

Remember the ? mark from last season…that is where their little neighborhood is. By the way, notice the pine trees? For some reason I still feel like that island is in Antarctica. Anyways, all the secrets I think are kept their. That is why they don’t want people to find where they live.

The Others either knew the plane was coming or have experienced a situation like that before. They seem way too prepared. If they have communication from the outside world then I think they are either in cahoots with the Hanson Foundation or the HF is giving orders.

Last but not least…where are the parents of the Others? My theory…killed. What we have picked up on is something really bad went down. Whatever that bad thing was is the very thing the Others are “Trying to make right”. If the Others were kids on the island then they were either taken there without parents or their parents died/got killed on the island.

Any thoughts or theories are welcome,
SB

Lets all welcome our very first Guest Blogger (applause)

So after listening to 3 different Lost podcasts, both official and non-official, I can honestly say that I am more confused and have more theories swimming around in my mind now than I did before…but that’s what makes the Lost addiction so brilliant, right? Read on to go deeper in the rabbit hole…

For those of you who’ve never listened to “The Official Lost Podcast” it’s done by the executive producers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Like Fenry, they enjoy manipulation and misleading…but they also tell the truth…so take their statements for what they’re worth. They said that there were two times that the Island had “become visible”—both occurred because of an electromagnetic anomaly—the time the plane crashed and when Desmond turned the key. Interesting…because that means that at all other times, the Island is NOT visible. There were many speculations about this, the main two being the Island is not really in a tropical location (more on that later) or that perhaps it’s always moving, like the lost city of Atlantis. Although they did not reveal why Kate, Jack and Sawyer were taken, they did say that clearly Hurley was the best one to relay the message to the other Losties that their friends had been captured…so this means that the Others never meant to keep Hurley; he was merely a messenger. DL & CC did say that the hatch was destroyed/imploded, but alluded that no characters died, notably Desmond. To me, the most interesting thing they said was in response to a fan calling in griping about how the Monster storyline seemingly disappeared—DL and CC said that we DID see the Monster after the episode where Eko confronts it, but we may not have realized it was the Monster. Andrea, fellow Lost Fanatic, said that when she went back and watched the pilot, the sound of the plane crashing sounded just like the sound the Monster made and that Rose made a comment about how that sounded familiar…this leads me to believe that we no longer need to ask the question of what is the Monster, but who is the Monster.

The “Lost Cast” and “the Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack” are both podcasts done by a bunch of guys who sit around and talk about all things Lost. They (and other fans that call or email in their findings) do a lot of research about the literature, allusions, history and other clues from the episodes and then talk about how their discoveries could possibly tie into the show. I’ll just combine their findings into one paragraph. First, they pointed out some interesting things that I did not know or had not noticed…the Widmore name has already been seen on the pregnancy test, a sign and on the balloon…leading us to believe that there is a definite connection between the Widmores and Dharma. The book Bad Twin focuses on the US Widmores; the show on the British Widmores. Penelope, who is Desmond’s girlfriend and also the daughter of Charles Widmore, is the name of Ulysses’ long-suffering wife who waits 20 years for her husband to come home from being at sea…notice the connection? During the flashback at the jail, the military guy reveals Desmond’s full name as David Desmond Hume—the real David Hume was a self-study philosopher. One guy pointed out all of the cold or snow references—the snow globe, the snowman joke, the polar bear—and theorized that the Island is not in a tropical location at all, but somewhere arctic instead…wonder if that’s why the Portuguese guys are stationed somewhere where they’re wearing heavy coats and hats and not shorts and flip-flops? (Way to go SB!) Now there is no confirmation for this, but someone said they read that Libby’s husband David was a Widmore! So does this mean that Libby is a Widmore herself or works for the Widmores or is involved in Dharma? Was she hired to give Desmond the boat? Also, note that Hurley’s “imaginary” friend was also named Dave…maybe Dave is not imaginary at all but is connected to Libby instead. The Four-Toed Foot statue, although seemingly out of no where, is important, if only to reveal that Dharma was NOT the first thing on the Island; it has been around for a long time—also revealed by the Black Rock, the pirate ship we saw in Season One. Notice that the Others did not freak out when the Great White Light occurred. Now connect this to the episode with Fenry and Locke—Fenry PUSHED the button, we know this now for sure b/c we know what happens when it’s not pushed. However, Fenry told Locke that he did not push the button, leading Locke to believe that the button meant nothing. Here’s my conclusion: Fenry wanted Locke to NOT push the button; Fenry wanted the electromagnetic thing to blow up; Fenry succeeded.

In conclusion, I’ll give you a little taste of Season 3 from the Lost Producers: there will be 6 episodes starting in September, a 12 week break, and then 17 straight episodes beginning in January. The first 6 episodes will concentrate heavily on why the Others took Jack, Kate and Sawyer. It will focus on the relationships between the characters and they mentioned the word LOVE several times. When asked where J, K and S will be taken by the Others, the answer is “home”—we will find out more about where/what they are talking about. We will learn more about Jack’s tattoos, why Locke is in a wheelchair, and about Kate’s marriage (anyone else miss that Kate was married?). Henry and Penelope will be regular characters—meaning they are VERY important. Three new characters will be introduced: a female in her early 30s with leadership abilities, a very attractive female in her 20s, and a Latino male with a mysterious personality.

Namaste :)

Everyone that loves LOST and want to discuss and keep up the chatter as the summer comes upon us will be excited. Tomorrow OH&H will have its first “Guest Blogger” as Miss Lori Tandoori will be joining us as she is the expert of All things Lost & Lord of the Rings. So STAY TUNED as she has some super cool things that will blow your mind!

This summer should be filled with much talk about the island, the numbers, the hatch, and more things that we just love talking about in this crazy world of Lost.

World of TivoMay 24, 2006 11:45 pm

My brain hurts right now trying to figure out what just happened over the last 84 min (Tivo Time). Well, if you’re keeping up with my “World of Tivo” posts then you read my last one where I predicted all that would happen. I think I’m batting 1.000 because it seems to me Henry IS the Man, and the 4 “Good” guys did get captured. Oh, and I said someone would die. Now we’re not for sure the Hatch truly blew up but even if they didn’t die Sawyer put a bullet into that one guy in the forrest.

So I’m just going to start talking and none of it might make sense but here goes. I think Miss Widmore never got married. The Polar Bear Club guys referred to her as Miss Widmore and not Mrs New Guy She Married Over Desmond. I’d also like to predict that MR. Widmore is tied into the Hanso Foundation. Maybe he funds it or owns it…either way he’s connected. Oh, and remember the REAL Henry Gales hot air balloon? You think that was a search party looking for Desmond? Probably not but I’m still wondering about that guy.

Any one curious as to what the first incident was? Anyone think its what brought the “Others” to the island? I’m not talking about they crashed as well. But maybe they’re all scientists who were brought to the island to deal with the “Incident”. Why do I have this funny feeling this latest Magnetic Surge will be bringing a 3rd group to the island in Season 3.

Want to hear another crazy thought I have? What if the island is not in the middle of the South Pacific like everyone thinks. What if its in the middle of Antarctica? If I were the writers this is how I would reveal that: We don’t see Walt and Michael until the end of Season 3 and we see the weather all of a sudden change and BOOM! they’re hitting ice. Maybe thats where the polar bear came from. Some thing is super weird about that island.

So the tents and huts were obviously fake. I heard somewhere there is another hatch that is under water or has water. Its where the shark with the Dharma symbol came from. (Episode where Sawyer/Jin/Michael are in the water and the shark swims by).

How about the pile of journals? That made me laugh. We’d like you to write down every last detail. Its very important. The world’s safety depends on it. And then we see its just piling up like dirty clothes when the wife is out of town.

Did everybody remember where Desmond’s Yellow Suited buddy came from? He was in the gulf war serving with Kate’s dad and was the guy who gave Syiad that money on the side of the road. And how in the flippin world does Libby play into all this. She had a husband named David? She just gives this guy a boat? Something doesn’t smell right there.

How about the big APE foot! 4 toes, just a foot, out there on the coast. I can’t tell if the Lost writers were just drunk when they wrote that one or what.

Hurley gets let go…doesn’t make sense. Jack and Kate give each other this look at the end. Charlie comes out and for some reason is not bothered by the blast. Did I mention the big APE foot? In the World of Tivo you never watch commericals but as I fast fwd through I caught a glimpse of the Hanso Foundation. So in case you were looking for a job it looks like they are hiring. I did already say this show blows my mind right? And it is all fake right?

Wishing September was already here…

Before I share my thoughts on Lost did anyone watch Idol?  50 million people vote and its split 33% all the way across the board.  Nothing like losing by tenths of a percentage point.

Lost - Warning I will be putting some spoiler information about Lost in this post.

You gotta love how Syiad knew Michael was lying.  I predict Syiad will kill more people and maybe burn down the church.  Who knows…he’s crazy!  My big question is why do the "Others" want the 4 people they want?  What is special about them?  Are they "Good"?  And what is "Good"?  Does "Good" actually mean they have something SPECIAL about them? 

How about Walt screaming out, "They are pretending!"  We’ve known that though.  Back in the medical hatch Kate finds clothes, make up, and fake beards.  I don’t think you live like savages and then take blood from someone and put it in a nice little ZIPLOC bag! 

You know how they talk about "the Man" or their head guy?  Anyone else think its Henry Gail?  You heard it here first folks!

And get this.  The boat they see at the end.  Its possibly Desmond’s.  The one he used to sail around the world.  Whats wild is there is suppose to be link between him and Libby.  Libby was the one who let Desmond borrow the boat.  Speaking of boats, what boat is Michael wanting?  How does he know they have one?  Maybe its the tugboat they picked Walt up on.

2 hours, next week to end Season 2.  My predictions:  someone dies, we find out who the head dude is, and the 4 who Michael takes over get captured.  Its about to get nuts!

I just finished watching Lost and my brain is spinning.  There is so much to process.  If you are not a Lost watcher or could care less about this show then you can A. Stop Reading and B. Comment that you don’t care about the greatest show ever so I can pray for your soul.  I’d love to get into tonights episode but instead I wanted to share this.

Have you heard about the Lost Experience?  Well, I wish I could explain it to you but I’m not 100% positive myself.  Here’s what I know. 

*ABC is brilliant and the Lost writers are on another level all together.

*You can now watch Lost for FREE at ABC.com 

*The Lost Experience was created to keep everyones interests high during the "off" summer months.

Well, here’s whats super cool.  The Jr High Minister at Watermark Community Church in Dallas started a blog called The Lost Experience Clues. Its for people to email in and say I’ve found a clue.  Instead of everyone working alone the concept is lets all work together.  Team work baby.  well, in the first week of having the site up this guy gets 70,000 hits.  By the end of the week ABC, the L.A. Times and the Dallas Morning News have contacted him asking how does he already know so much.  The best part of the site is at the top it has a link saying "Our Shameless Plug" and it goes to another site that talks about what it means to be truly "LOST".  It has testimonies of people sharing their stories of Grace.  Score 1 for the WWW.

Like I said, I wish I could even begin to figure out the clues and the Lost Experience.  For you Lost watchers you know that the manuscript Sawyer was reading was called "Bad Twin."  Well, the author of that was on Oceanic 815 and he died.  Well "Bad Twin" is being published.  In REAL life.  Now tell me thats not marketing at its best.  A fictional author is writing a REAL book.  HA!  Its the world we live in folks.   

In other news.  Chris Daughtry got the boot tonight.  I hate American Idol…until next Tuesday.

I have come up with 2 reasons why you should not own Tivo.

1.    You do not own a TV.
2.    The Lord has spoken into your life and told you cable is evil.

Other than that I can’t imagine watching TV any other way.  Commercials, VHS tapes, and programming a VCR are so 2001.  A Tivo will run you $12.95/month depending on what package you get.  13 bucks folks.  My wife works for an organization that has started the Mocha Club and they encourage you to give up 2 mochas a month ($7) to give HIV/AIDs drugs and hope to Orphans in Africa.  I’ve been inspired by such a noble cause and that’s why I’m encouraging everyone to join not only the Mocha Club but also the Tivo Club.  Here are the things you can give up every month to have your very own “Come to Tivo” experience.

McDonalds – give up the quarter pounder and bacon egg and cheese biscuit.  No it is not helping your girlish figure and its not REAL food.

1 semi nice dinner – everyone can think of one meal at their favorite Mexican restaurant they can give up in order to enjoy the Tivo Revolution.

Turn off the lights! – if you’ll get in the habit of turning off the lights you’d be amazed how much you save on your electric bill.  And who doesn’t love candles?

Car Pool – gas prices are out of control!  Ride with a buddy.  This is the fastest way to save a little coin.  There’s nothing better then 7am conversations with coworkers you barely know.

Tonight is Wednesday.  Tonight is Lost.  (I will be posting more about Lost soon so if you are a Lost addict like me then stay tuned)  It is the greatest night of TV because this is the night of the week that ABC allows us to enjoy 44 minutes of genius.  Oh, for you Non-Tivoites…that’s how long it takes us in the Tivo World to watch Lost. emoticon Not to mention I have to see who gets booted off on American Idol and also catch the 2nd part of House and you’re crazy if I’m going to miss Alias even though its nothing like it was in Seasons 1-3.  Now at this point you’re thinking…this crazy watches too much TV.  Oh but he doesn’t.  I’ll watch House while Alias records, save Alias for another night and enjoy Lost with ZERO interruptions.  How sweet it is…to be loved by Tivo.

So pray, fast, save, and do whatever you have to do.  But until you are on this side of the fence the words that are coming out of my mom is just Charlie Brown to you (wa wa wa wa).  Did I mention when I’m at work I can log on and tell my Tivo to record Letterman tonight because Tom Cruise is going to be on and who wants to miss Mr. Yahoo himself act like a buffoon?  Not me.  I heard Katie is no longer Katie but now Kate…by orders of Tom and the Church of We have all Tom’s money and we’re lovin’ it.  Doesn’t it just make you wish you had a lot of money so you could buy your own happiness as well.

Tivo changes the way you live.  The TV no longer controls you.  You create your own schedule.  Leave the world of Prison TV where you have to ask if you can tinkle or take a shower.  In the Tivo world you are the Master of Your Own Domain (Seinfeld). 

Lost talk - So is Michael brainwashed?  Has he switched sides?  When will Syiad pull Henry’s heart out feed it to the Dharma sharks?  Oh I can’t wait…
