Poor Olivia :( Glad she's feeling better today.

They told the story of Sun and how she had the affair--we saw some of it last year. Her father caught the two of them together and ordered Jin to kill him. Jin warned him, but didn't kill him--but the guy jumped out the window with the necklace he had offered Sun in his hand. Guess he really loved her...

Sawyer and Kate were made to work in the rockpile all day--Sawyer kissed Kate, and was shocked by the guard for it. The female guard called Sawyer by his real first name--James.

Pointy face introduced himself "properly" to Jack. Said he's lived there all of his life (!) And if Jack cooperates, he will take Jack home.

You saw the end, right--where Sun was on the boat and Colleen and the others came on?

Way Back Machine :lol:

Thanks for the re-cap.

I watched it again last night ... the second show I've seen. So, did all these people end up on this island from the same plane crash? I know, basic question, the other story lines are a bit easier to pick up on.

The folks that are in captivity and the folks on the beach (you haven't seen them yet) and the folks with the boat all crashed on the island. The "others" (the folks who are causing all the comotion) we don't know an awful lot about. It appears that they have been on the island a long time and may have been part of some strange experiments (I warn you - this is a slippery slope...if you Google the DHARMA initiative you will be sucked into a vortex from which there is no return :huh: ) This show is so great because of all the mythology they have built in and the method of presenting the story in bits and pieces of flashbacks...I could go on all day... :P

The people who came out of the houses last week were not on the plane--they're referred to as "the others" and we're just now learning more about them.

The prisoners, people on the boat last night and the others back at the camp were all in the same plane crash.

There are still others on the island who probably crashed there years ago--that's the thing with this show--the more questions they answer, the more we still don't really know :blink:

We're lucky that we have Tivo--more than once, we have had to go back and watch something again--there are lots of little clues and things that are easily missed.

:lol: Patti

The female guard called Sawyer by his real first name--James.

Last night was the first time, that I noticed, that anybody actually acknowledged the "others" know all this stuff about them, that nobody else knows. When Kate said, why did she call you James.

Wouldn't they be discussing daily how creepy it is that they know all these inside facts :lol:

The interesting thing about this was at the end of the show when they were in the cages discussing this -- Sawyer and Kate. Sawyer seemed to kiss her and get in trouble to see how everyone reacted and how they fought. He took note of it all. It seemed to be a strategic move.

I loved the scene where the weird guy told the prisoner that the Red Soxs won the World Series. So funny.

I know--like last week when Sawyer and Kate were put in cages opposite each other--why didn't they ask questions or talk about the whole ordeal? It seemed odd.

Also, last week Juliet had that folder that she said was "Jack's life".

Yea--he's sizing everyone up....

Green12 Enthusiast

He also wanted to kiss Kate :D

Remember when Kate and the creepy French lady and, I can't recall who the third person was, Claire I think, went to find that other station?? They didn't come back to the group and say, hey guess what we found? They don't talk to each other to put all the clues together :lol:

Drives me mad!

jerseyangel Proficient

Julie--You're right about the kiss. The way he looked at her after the guard spoke to her crudely--it was so expressive. You could see his face change.

The other thing that bothers me, other than them not comparing notes, is that they will still go off into the jungle alone. I would go nowhere alone on that island :D

I think they call it "suspension of disbelief"... you need a healthy dose for this show or you'll throw something thru the TV

Wow--that was pretty detailed. Anyway, it's gonna be good.....

I will be there!!! A little over an hour for me.

I will not look at the spoilers, I don't want to be............. spoiled :lol:

Did you say Boone?? Oh my......

I loved the episode last night!

The airport scene was really good (Hurley and Pointy Face were both employees of the airline--AND remember, Hurley was the one who had to bring Jack, Sawyer and Kate to the others) :o

Also Desmond's back--and naked :rolleyes:

Didn't see 'Eddie was a cop' coming, though :blink:

Richard--come out of your sweatlodge and discuss! :lol:

CarlaB Enthusiast

Hmmm, I've seen three episodes ... starting to catch on a bit, but not enough to know names!!

It's pretty addicting! If you ever have the time, I'd suggest getting the first 2 seasons on DVD--a lot of the storylines are long-running. It would answer some questions for you, but not many :lol: --they tend to keep piling on the mystery! :blink:

Last night was a little creepy :lol:

Locke not being able to talk and his "vision" :blink:

Do we know if he ended up shooting the undercover cop?

Julie,

No, he didn't--he put his gun down, and Eddie ran off through the woods. I'm expecting he'll show up soon on the island :D

I wanna know what's in the wacky paste!

Charlie-Locke banter was funny (shoe's on the other foot :P )

The whole search for Eko was kind of pointless, Look at the hole were the hatch was - must have imploded...oh look here's Hurley...Oh the bear cave, better get out my hair spray (Charlie's "I hate to be the one to bring this up..." LMAO!)...What kind of polar bear drags it's lunch around still alive? (I know one that lives on a tropical island and is sick of fish biscuits!)

Hurley and Desmond scene was hilarious ("Ok DUDE I'm not alone!")

Where do I know the cop from?

Charlie needs to get his hair cut.

Boone/airport scene was great/funny.

Is the guy- Mike i think, the same guy that plays Zeke/Tom? He looked familiar

Next week looks like another good one!

Green12 Enthusiast

I thought the same thing, Mike (?) definitely looked familiar, like we have seen him before.

Not sure about the torture for next week :blink:

I'm not worried, they always build it up in the promos and it never seems to be the same story once the epi. airs. Sawyer is probably getting his nails done. Kate is crying over 3 days of fish biscuits. "Do you Love HIM?" probably some sick Other's device to break them down...Barry Manilow "Do you Love HIM?"...No, well then no fish biscuits for you. :)

jerseyangel Proficient

Julie--I agree about the torture for next week. Hope they were just hyping it up for the preview and there won't be too much of it.

Richard--The part with Hurley and Desmond: Hurley was acting like a GIRL when he saw Desmond--he was so embarassed! :lol:

Hairspray line--too funny.

Charley's hair--it looks like his is the only hair that grew during the time there.

I also thought Boone looked better--did he lose weight or something? He used to have a pasty/red thing going on on his face.

Had the cop been on before?--I couldn't tell.

I didn't think it was possible, but Boone got prettier after he died!

I don't know if the cops has been on before. I know I have seen him somewhere before (NOT on this show, but somewhere)...I just can't place him

I forgot about Desmond running naked through the forrest, er, what do you call that on an island? The bush? With his hair blowing in the wind. That was kinda funny.

And, ooh, he can see the future :blink: Creepy.

I thought Boone looked thinner because of his longer hair do?

um, yeah, I"ve tried and tried (but not consistently), and I am utterly confounded.....Richard says I have to pop popcorn and rent all the seasons on DVD - makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it.... :blink:

Locke not being able to talk and his "vision" :blink:

Yes, I think I saw this part, did he ask to TALK TO THE ISLAND??? holy Lord. that is the moment I think I broke up with the show for good. :lol:

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
