1. Yeah...cool
I thought maybe I would taper off this seaso, but man, the narrative audacity of that show. 4 new characters, each w/ a flashback. Then the Naomi/head honcho flashback. I got goosebumps twice on top of that.

Ben took a beating, eh?

And oh yeah. That can't be the plane our losties were on can it? The nose was in the jungle, right?

2. It was proof of a cover-up.
Remember it was either the pilot or the copilot who was eaten by the monster in the first episode. (That pilot was Greg Grunberg, who now plays Matt Parkman on Heroes.)

5. I don't think so, but....
It was only episode 2 or 3, I think. Charlie retrieved his stash from bathroom, the monster got the barely alive pilot....

7. wow this show just has me.
I recall a small plane that crashed shipping dope (hidden inside statues) and it was practically hanging from a tree.

I do recall a pilot or co pilot getting destroyed in a plane, but now that I think of it, I don't think it was that plane.

Wasn't there another plane that had explosives and it was found on the ground... maybe that was the plane with the pilot and the monster?

In the original plane scene, I don't remember seeing that pilot getting attacked. Maybe in a flashback?

8. And I think the poster was
referring to the statues of dope. At least that's what I thought.

That wasn't shown until season two. Remember the dope was part of Echo's storyline.

6. That was much,much later.
The pilot in the first episode was the pilot from 815. He was still alive, strapped in and speaking to them when "it" came out of nowhere and got him.

The dope wasn't found until after the tail section was found. Remember Echo had a connection to the dope.

11. I'm a huge Heroes fan
so I remember the Grunberg cameo. Turns out he and JJ Abrams are best friends so he appears in some capacity in all of Abrams shows.

12. I heard Heroes is the next thing I should be watching.
I don't watch much, but this type of show is right up my alley.

13. Go to nbc.com
They have the episodes on there. I have quite a crush on Zachary Quinto, who play the evil Sylar.

15. You're quite welcome.
You'll get sucked into that one too-especially with all the interactive stuff and the comic books!

3. Yes.
"I have a man on the boat"

Of course you do. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a man on every shuttle launch just to scrub out the island from any pictures.

9. Ben's got his finger in every single pie.
He is hands-down the best villian on television.

17. I don't know if everyone knows this...
but I thought it was really cool. I was looking up Mathew Abbadon and saw in Lostpedia....


In Hebrew Abaddon means "destroyer," or "destruction". More precisely, this name comes from the Hebrew root word aleph-bet-daled, which means "lost".

18. Agreed.

Awesome episode. I liked it a lot more than the season premiere.

While I doubt the show can outdo last season's finale (greatest episode of the show yet), this was a great episode and in typical LOST fashion opens up a new can of worms.

Who is Ben's man on the boat?
