[edit] BuddyTV

If Buddy TV can be considered a source, surely the flashback (Charlie) and the synopsis should be added Mtowers 15:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

BuddyTV isn't a reliable source; this page will be deleted soon. --thedemonhog talk contributions 23:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Really there's no point in it being deleted seeing as the episode is due to be confirmed by ABC within the next few days Mtowers 13:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

This synopsis needs a serious clean-up. --Kudzu1 14:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I think people are going to be continuously cleaning it up over the next day or two. That's probably common for articles about TV shows that just aired. I just did a lot of cleaning myself. - Shaheenjim 16:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flashback

Shouldn't the flashback info read that it is both Charlie and Alex/Karl? I mean, they have a flashback as well. Even if it is only for a few minutes. MalionX 10:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mugger

Image:Attacker.gif
The Mugger In The Alley

Did it look to anyone else like the mugger in the Nadia flashback scene was Keir O'Donnell, who played Thomas, Claire's boyfriend? Can anyone get a screenshot of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.231.210 (talk) 17 May 2007 (UTC)

But of course. Here's the screenshot.
I couldn't really get a better shot, but I shall attempt to later. --RgNet 16:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DS Ring

I edited the article to say that Charlie's ring was based on his great grandfather's initials. It might've been great, great grandfather, or something like that. I can't remember for sure. Feel free to correct that if I'm wrong. - Shaheenjim 16:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

You're not "wrong". When Charlie and Liam were discussing it they said something like "it was her father's and his father's before him..." and then trailed off like it should continue, but best of what we know any edit like you're talking about would be right on. Guse 14:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who are the "Looking Glass" occupants—competing theories

On the Lost wiki and elsewhere, theories abound that the women who took Charlie at gunpoint in the "Looking Glass" module are "Dharma Initiative survivors", left since "The Purge" (as seen in "Man Behind the Curtain").

This doesn't make any sense though as Juliet knew about "Looking Glass" (and its blocking signals off the Island) and Ben must have sent people there to do that. If they were "Dharma survivors", they wouldn't help Ben and they wouldn't block signals off the Island; in fact, they could use that same system to send a signal to Hanso or whoever for rescue.

Another theory is that they are "Others" who "displeased" Ben. He sent them down to the "Looking Glass" and that part of the reason he wanted Locke to blow up the submarine, was to trap them there as punishment. That too brings up the question of why they would KEEP blocking signals, which is what Ben wants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.150.208.34 (talk) 15:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

One of them could be emily, from the previous episode? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebigbristolian (talk) 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Please sign your comments. Does it matter who it is? We'll probably find out in the next episode. And who is Bonnie? There's a pic of her in the article, marked 'Bonnie'... I never knew there was a 'Bonnie' in Lost. — « hippi ippi » 04:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
The picture is of one of the gun women in the Looking Glass station. No name was given in the show, so I can't think where Bonnie came from. Happy Man C
Bonnie is the name she is given in press material. (142.46.140.149 02:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Naomi

I might be mistaken, but when Naomi realized that Charlie was in DriveShaft, didn't she say she knew of him because the big deal made "when they found the plane"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.198.241.62 (talk) 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, she's already explained that they've found Flight 815 and the passangers were all dead. We're not sure how this can be, they haven't really explained.75.68.230.251 19:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
That was from the previous episode. - Shaheenjim 22:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Danielle

Why did Jack say he would take her gun, but she couldn't stay? I mean she must be pretty good with the gun and that would be one less 816er that would have to stay and risk their life. It seems like he knows something else that we don't. Maybe about Danielle's relation to the Others...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.250.203 (talk) 18 May 2007 (UTC)

She needed to lead the rest of the Losties to the radio tower. At least, thats the official reason given by Jack. My theory is that he knew there was a possibility she would see Alex and that would cause her to screw up, or that she would in some other way let emotions get in the way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.81.116 (talk) 18 May 2007 (UTC)
A less complicated reason would be, that the others are comming to abduct anyone who does not have a Y chromosome, and guess what she doesn't have a Y chromosome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.250.203 (talk) 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie's fourth flashback

I think it should be mentioned that the scene where Charlie is playing the gutar is also in the episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes." The difference was that Desmond did not confront Charlie and ask how he knew him. I think this is a big, yet subtle part of the episode and should be noted. I added it to the notes section. If you don't think I worded it well, feel free to change it. Mr.Kickyourbutt 18:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Nope, Charlie is wearing different clothes. 69.255.157.150 03:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

This page has improved soooooo much since the last time I saw it! Well done! Regarding the info on Rose and Bernard, shouldn't we also put that info on their pages. And is there any news if they are going to play a more promininent role in season 4?  Wikirocks  03:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

It should be added. As can be seen from the trailers and publicity stills, they will at least appear in season 4. –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
