2:20 - Two for the Road - May 3 (Ana-Lucia)

[Queen Mae]

and that's all we know.

[Adam54]

Nothing new til May 3rd?? I thought I'd read they were going rerun free the rest of the way.

Though I suppose Alias has to show sometime, right? *sigh*

[neglet]

I thought they were returning to an Alias-Lost-Invasion block later this month--starting next Wednesday. Maybe they think they can keep Lost in repeats while they other two have new episodes. I swear, they couldn't plan a better way to kill off Invasion if they tried. :angry

[Tricksterson]

From what I've heard, next week is a two hour Alias and the week after that is something (probably a clip show) called Lost: Reckoning. Then it's "Two for the Road", which is Ana-Luciacentric.

WHOA.












This episode was INSANE! I guess one way or another, drinking and driving really DOES kill huh?

"Two for the Road"....heh.

Am I the only one who has a feeling that Henry is MORE than just "one of the Others" and might be the big man in charge? OR did I watch The Usual Suspects last night? You decide.

Michael just got the "Oh $hit" moment of the series so far in my book! That was a HUGH turn! You think you know somebody.....also makes me wonder what the other characters are capable of.

[Queen Mae]

I said this to Adam as I was watching the show, but I'll repeat it here:

Claire is Jack's sister.

[southpaw]

Good thought.

[Jakester]

Definitely good theory, sis.

Socko, Michael has been turned by the Others. He was supposed to kill AnaL and Henry. Libby just surprised him and he freaked.

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

Jakes, Michael was not to kill Henry. Didn't you see Michael just look at Henry and a point of recognition flash in Henry's eyes? Then Michael shoots himself in the shoulder? He was sent there to spring Henry from the clink. AnnaL was a crime of opportunity and Libby was a mistake. If you taped or Tivoed the show check out the expression of remorse and angst after Michael shoots Libby.

I wonder if Michael was actually turned into one of the Others, or they are using Walt as leverage over him. Michael has always seemed that he was willing to do whatever it took to get Walt back. The Survivors have absolutely no value to him compared to getting Walt back.

By the way, did anyone call the phone number for the Hanso Corp. shown at the end of that little commercial they snuck in there near the end of the show?

[Jakester]

Er...damn...I must've dozed. I didn't realize he shot himself in the shoulder. Frig.

[Intelligent_Design]

This ep. didn't make any sence. First How did Goodwin speak to Henry? Also if the others sent Mikey (the murderer) back to release Henry then why not make the trade anyway? Also , I don't get why Mike was sent to kill Ana of all people. What was she in the scheme of things?

[ellenora]

It was definitely an eye-opener last night. I was... "Oh shit!! :eek: but... Mickael would likely do anything to get Walt back... and thus the Others have their leverage.

[kah]

Ok, I missed the first half hour, but did anyone else figure out what Michael was up to the second he heard that Sawyer had the guns? He was like, crap, now I don't know where they are. I can't believe he killed Libby! I'm not surprised he killed Ana. The Others likely wanted revenge for Goodwin. Michael does not seem like he has become one of the Others, like I first thought. He seems like a desperate man, who thinks the only way to get his son back is to do something he abhors, and pay the figurative ransom. I can't wait till next week.

[Queen Mae]

I don't think he was sent there to kill Ana. I think he was sent there to free Henry. He couldn't free Henry with Ana watching, so he had to kill her. I don't believe it was something he wanted to do at all, I believe it was something he felt he had to do. He looks really shaken by the whole thing - in fact, he was visibly shaking just before and after he shot Libby.

Libby was shot because she startled him, not because he had orders to kill her too, IMO.

Goodwin could have spoken to the others at any time. Plus, we don't know how they communicate. It could be telepathy.

Very early this season there was a spoiler that someone was turning evil but since it hadn't happened yet I sort of forgot about it. When Michael was telling Kate & Jack what about the others I knew he was lying. We've seen the Others via Claire's flashbacks. We know they are an advanced society. Yes, we've also seen the barefoot people.... but eh, Michael's story didn't ring true for me - what's more, I thought Evangeline played it like it didn't ring true for Kate either. Obviously, that wasn't the case.

Something else important about the episode: Henry said that John was "a good one." Is that true or was he just saying that? He said he was coming to the camp for Locke.... I don't know. If he really believed that Locke was a good one why would he play those headgames with him like he did in earlier episodes?

[Cooper]

I think Henry's revelation to Locke was just another mind game.

You are correct that Kate looked like she was found Michael's story suspicious and this is a problem this show has from time to time. These character's don't talk to each other like normal people would in their situation. They stay quiet only to further the plot. When Jack and Locke were talking, after hearing Michael's story, Kate should have been there saying to Jack, "remember what I just told you? (last episode) The "cast-away" look is phoney. There's something not right here."

Do we know that Lilly is definitely dead? She was shot through the blankets she was holding and I read an interivew with the show's writers where they talk about Ana being dead and Lilly being shot. I don't think they'd kill Lilly without revealing her back story.

I hope Jack realizes right away that Michael's wound is self-inflicted so this particular plot won't be too dragged out.

Aha, someone else has made the Usual Suspects connection. I am vindicated! Even if it is by a freaky puppet creature.:D

I don't think Michael has been turned. I think he did this to incite the castaways into an attack.

I think Gale might have come, not to kidnap Locke but to recruit him.
Yes, I saw a sceptical look on Kate's face too. Was it me or did she and Jack share a look at that point?

[fastcar]

Yeah, the previews showed Kate saying "She's dead" but no indication of which one. If they were both dead she would have said, "They're dead"

I think this was a bargainning chip for Michael. Kill Ana Lucia "eye for an eye" with Goodwin. Let Henry go as proof that he held up his end of the bargain to get Walt. Then shoot himself to make it look like there was a struggle for the gun and Henry shot everybody.
Libby was collateral damage and may not be dead. Ana Lucia definitely is though IMO.

The previews seem as if Michael is still among the group. He's got a sling on, so you know he got shot in the shoulder.

[neglet]

Do we know that Libby is definitely dead? She was shot through the blankets she was holding and I read an interivew with the show's writers where they talk about Ana being dead and Libby being shot. I don't think they'd kill Libby without revealing her back story.

... Especially as it seems they only kill off your character if she's the focus of a flashback episode.:ohwell:

I did notice, however, that there was no blood underneath Libby's body; if she'd been shot and killed, wouldn't there be some on the floor, especially since there was no carpet? But I suppose the blankets could absorb blood and she could be dead. Which would piss me off, since we wouldn't find out why she was in the asylum with Hugo. Still, if she's alive Michael's story won't last very long.

Anyway, my guess is that Michael was forced/blackmailed into freeing Henry; Ana Lucia was in the way; Libby was shot in surprise; and he shot himself, thus setting up the story that Henry shot them all and escaped. The question is, what else has Michael been instructed to do? He's the only one we know of who has discovered how to contact someone through the computer terminal, so he could still get instructions. Will he try to steal Aaron? Or Sun, once he discovers she's pregnant? Will he have to set up the other "bad ones" among the castaways? Actually, I'm guessing his story of how "we can take them" is a setup, and that meeting will be the big finale this year.

Still, tonight's episode? F*cking hell!

[CaptPike]

We've seen the Others via Claire's flashbacks. We know they are an advanced society. Yes, we've also seen the barefoot people....


Also, Kate found all the rags and stage glue and fake beard. His story didn't make sense to me, either.

But, ya gotta admit, it was a great way to get rid of the two drunks on the show. :ohwell:

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

What about the freaking Hanso Corp commercial and phone number? No comments on that?

I'm sure it is the start of the game, but I can't find much info about it (yet)

http://www.thehansofoundation.org/

The main page is much different. Apparently there is some stuff there and you can sign up for their newsletter (I'm sure that will be important later).

[Strider]

All I have to say about the episode is: "Damn!" :eek:

[CaptPike]

I don't even know what you all are talking about. I must have missed something.

[Queen Mae]

I'll check my Tivo and give the number a call tomorrow.

[DarkJedi]

Well, if Libby isn't in fact dead, we know we won't have a long drawn out story of Michael getting away with murder and blame going to Henry for it all. After all, Libby will be protected while recovering and she will certainly say who shot her. She didn't get shot in the face or heart, doubt were talking comadose storyline here.

In the preview Hurley says "Glad you made it, Mike" . Don't think Hurley would be giving a rats ass about him or his welfare if his girl was dead.


Great episode though.

The Hanso commercial was awesome...didn't write the number down though.

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

Found all about the number and spoilers attached to what it is and what happens when you call it over at Wikipedia.

Looks like it is part of the game, of course.

[Jakester]

Does that come with hot fudge?

Now I'm going to have to say things like "Back when the Losties had AnaL..."
"They don't have AnaL anymore..."
"Back in the good old days, you used to be able to go to the beach and get AnaL all the time."

[Queen Mae]

I've been trying to call and all I get is a busy signal.
