Ok. I've just seen the first two episodes of series 2. And I feel compelled to ask: "What, in the name of flying fuck and all that is holy, is going on?"

Why is Desmond down the hatch? Who the fuck are the 'Others'? Why is John Locke so called?

Now, and I want to make this absolutely clear, I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS IN LATER EPISDOES. Ok?

What I want is wild theories about what might or might not be happening - the wilder the better. So...any suggestions?

i remember when the second season started. SOOOO much has happened since then...

Ok, the dude down the hatch, desmond, has obviously been there fore a while, all the 20 yr old tech hanging around (LP player, ancient PC etc etc). He has to keep typing the numbers into that computer for some reason.

Obviously he doesn't mind porridge too much.

Anyways, John Locke. Is that the guy with a knife for every occasion? If so, he is just plain wierd.

The Others. I'm guessing an older lot of people who came to the island before the flight, and who by the looks of things have descended into something akin to barbarism.

Bada boom, bada bing.

But then how come he met Jack at the stadium? He can't have been there that long, surely.

Possibly. I was considering the possibility that he's down there voluntarily.

Indeed. The real John Locke was a fairly influential philosopher with some interesting thoughts on the true state of nature...

Makes sense. I guess that vaguely explains why they want the kids.

Erm, yes.

Thanks for that. :rolleyes: I might download the rest of the series, or I might go mad thinking about everything.

Well there was one thing he said that kinda threw me.

He said, "Is the world still out there?"

Which sounds to me very, erm, FUCKIN CRAZY and mildly like he was sent to this place to keep doing something (the numbers) to prevent something from happening, as well as to protect it from someone. Hence him asking Mr.Knife of the Year, "Are you him?"

Or something...:p

Hey, considering the rest of the show, what he said could be considered fairly normal.

He was on his trip around the world when his boat wrecked, and he got rescued by a guy who ived in the hatch with another guy, the first guy was already dead, and somwhow the second guy died. Desmon'ds been down there about three or so years.

Oh, since he has to wake up every 140 minutes from sleep, no doubt hes a bit wacko.

Er, if thats what actually happens, READ THE FIRST POST.

Did you not read the big bold bit in the first post? Ah, well, it's not a major thing I guess. The trailers for the second series gave away the fact that Jin survived. And apparently speaks decent English.

I thought he says that in the second episode anyway.....yah, he says that, because then he disappears.


Anyway, I'll start another spoiler-riffic discussion thread for people that have seen everything.

Eh, no, he doesn't. Last you see of him in the second episode, he's holding a gun to Locke's head, and Jack's just realised who he is.

I think Jack might be 'him'. It'll be either him or someone from the tail. Possibly that Eko dude.

Don't have E4 then I take it?

I don't care- Fuck the raft, fuck the computer, fuck Desmond, fuck the Others, fuck the weird film.....

All I want to know is:
WHERE IN THE FUCK DID THE POLAR BEAR COME FROM?!

Sadly, no. Bittorrent is doing a good job at the moment though.

I reckon Rousseau (crazy French woman) and her crew brought it.

Oh yeah, that was something else I was thinking about. In the catch-up clip thing that was on the other night (Sunday or Monday, I don't remember), it had the scene where Sayid woke up tied to the bed-frame thing, and I swear that he said 'You?!' when he saw Rousseau (kinda in the same way Jack did when he saw Desmond). Unfortunately, I don't have the dvds with me right now to check this, so anyone who wants to confirm/refute this is more than welcome to.

Nah, well I'm about 7 or 8 episodes ahead at the mo. (RTE had Lost way before British T.V) and not bothered downloading it.

It gets interesting but the repeats are def. necessary! Some episodes move really slowly (more back stories) and other swish you along.

Although, Mr. Ecko's story is a good one.

I think the producers just made up a bunch of junk to keep us entranced. It doesn't mean anything! It's an experiment being held by ABC!
