I just hope we don't have to watch Sawyer get beat up again--that's getting old. <_<:D

Somewhere I saw a list of ALL the abuse he's taken over the last "70 days". It was quite impressive. His powers of recuperation are AMAZING!

OMG Richard--I just noticed your avatar--is that the "Pig-face" episode of the Twilight Zone? I remember seeing that when I was a little kid, and it scared the daylights out of me--I thought about it for a long time after :D All of the pig-faced doctors and nurses running through the halls--scary stuff back then :o

Hi Susan :D

There was one normal person--it was Donna Douglas (the girl who played Ellie May Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies. She was beautiful, but because she was different from all the others, they were horrified by her. Classic :D

I love when TVLand does Twilight Zone Marathons. The last time they had a marathon I was outside staining my deck and didn't even know about the marathon. As luck would have it my shut-in neighbor was watching with the volume turned WAAAAAAY UP! I got to enjoy a whole bunch of epi's and stain my deck! Tomorrow I'll have another classic TZ pic as my avatar - don't touch that dial! :P

Thanks for the spoilers, Richard! I actually guessed that both of them would happen (I won't go into specifics here for those who don't want to be spoiled).

I've searched all over the 'net for who Kate chooses....and nothing. I guess I'll just have to wait for next week. I'm so impatient :)

My son does, too. I think there's another station that has the marathons--The Sci-Fi Channel maybe?

Well, what did ya'll think? I was somewhat disappointed :(

Mr. Eko took up most of the episode with flashbacks. Then, well, we know what happened to him at the end...he never had much of a story, and has hardly been on this year at all. I was expecting more out of the second-to-last episode of the 1/2 season.

I was hoping for more STORY, and more about the 'regulars". Wished they'd kept Jack and Pointy-face on longer, and WHO was that young couple who joined the search for Eko?? Have we seen them before :blink:

Still love the show--glad I watched but I'm still getting over the gluten attack from Monday, and I'm really grouchy and was so tired last night I could hardly keep my eyes open, then that episode :angry:

I agree - the Ecko bit seemed too much like filler. Locke's dialogue was bit stilted too - just poorly written last night. The Jack/Juliet/PF Ben story deserved more screen time. How about the previews for next week! Kate & Sawyer getting hot and heavy :huh::o Is this the END ofr Sawyer :o ? Is Jack being PLAYED (by whom? :huh: ) Oh my....2 cliff-hangers this year! :o

Eko has never been one of my favorite characters, so his back story didn't do much for me, and I wasn't especially moved by his death. However, I liked the interaction between Jack and Juliet--I wonder what Jack is going to do? Will he kill Benry?

And it looks like next week from the previews that Sawyer and Kate hook up--ugh. I want Kate with Jack!

Anyway, I can't believe next week is the last episode. I hope it's more exciting than last night's was.

Yea--hopefully next week will be better--you would think they'd want to give us something great, so we can't wait until February to watch again. That's a pretty long wait....

I did like the cue cards Juliette used to clue Jack in--wonder if she's on the level?

Oh--who was the shadowy figure in the TV screen? Spooky :ph34r: Too bad that newbie was the one to discover it--just what is the story of those two?

I think the will be regulars. They had like two lines in the epi. where Desmond returns. They need some fresh faces, as they've begun to cull the herd :o

Okay, I'm confused ... next week is the last episode of the season? Didn't the season just start? When does the next season start -- Next October????

BTW, I never went back and watched the beginning ... I've only seen this season and I truthfully don't think I'm any more confused than any of you. ;)

Hi Carla :D

In past seasons, they would chop up the entire season with stretches of reruns--and they didn't run the reruns in any particular order :blink:

This year, they plan to run the show in two blocks--the one that is ending next week, and another one that starts in February. This way, they show consecutive episodes with no reruns.

Hi Patti! Hope you're feeling better!

Hmmm. Strange. I guess it's a good idea though. Just seems like they could do more than a month and half of new shows for a half season!

You have to excuse me ... I haven't had TV reception for over 12 years, so this is all new to me. :lol:

:lol: The TV season has gotten shorter in the last 12 years! Everybody is cutting costs!

I agree about the month and a half--I wonder how long the second half will be? I wonder why they didn't just divide the total episodes in half? :huh:

I'm fine--the stomach stuff is about over, just tired and crabby :D How about you? Any better? :)

Still fatigued very badly ... the other issue is still there, too. I've stopped dropping weight though, but that might be because I'm eating more and including lots of fat for the calories. I'm going to start looking for other issues as I'm starting to think that the food intolerances may be because of something else. I ordered a Lyme test that will get here next week, then I take it to my doc to be tested. That seemed like the obvious place to start since I have so many of the symptoms. If that's not it, I'm going to keep looking .... since I'm non-celiac gluten intolerant, it just seems I should be doing better considering it'll be one year gluten-free next month!

I read how you were going to test for Lyme--that's a good idea.

My other intolerances didn't show up until I was gluten-free for several months. I had been doing much better on the gluten-free diet, and then suddenly I was just as sick as I was before--it was terrible. It might be worth a try to experiment with some elimination of the usual suspects like soy, corn, any plant protein that you think may be causing a problem. Many times, it's something that you eat often.

I guess I am in the minority here, but I enjoyed the episode and was devastated that Eko was killed. I think it got back to the question of whether or not the island is "judgement island", examining the areas of gray when good people do bad things. So I am feeling kind of bummed that in the end his life was taken, and marked a "bad" man for just trying to survive and protect his brother.

I'm still not sure quite what to make of "Smokey"...When Eko first encountered it it looks like it "scanned" his memories (there were pictures of things from his past in the smoke cloud). Then in this most recent epi. it seemed to use all of those bad memories against him...It seemed like everything was going to be ok up until he said he wasn't sorry for the way he lived his life...The Yemi apparition seemed pretty ticked after that. :o

It seemed to me that the other times when Eko encountered Smokey that he had no fear and faced it down. The last time he seemed to be afraid (didn't he try Psalm 23 or something? i can't recall) and that's when Smokey got him...There is definitely a human element controlling Smokey....maybe patch man? There are still a couple of undiscovered hatches...I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Ditto.

And when did Sayid get back? I assume that he, Jin and Sun swam back to the island (from the boat) and then walked back? :unsure:

OMG, where are my Lost peeps today? :lol:

What did everyone think of last nights ep??

I LOVED it, thought it was great.

Nikki, recap:

Ben is still very creepy :lol: .

Flashback- Kate was on the run from the fed as "Monica", married a cop and had "taco" nights :lol: , realized she had to keep running, told her new hubby the truth, drugged him and left.

Kate and Sawyer do it :lol:

He says he loves her, awww.

They bury Eko, Locke sees something etched on his prayer stick, something like "look to the north with eyes open", anybody?

Jack decides to operate on Ben's tumor afterall, not happy about it though. At the end he makes an incision in the kidney, something like that, and says if they don't let Kate go he won't stitch it up and Ben will die.

Kate doesn't want to leave, they are going to kill Sawyer in revenge for Colleen's life.

Did I miss anything Richard?

I loved the episode last night! :D

It was kinda sad about Kate and her nice husband :( Loved the Sawyer/Kate scenes, though B)

At the end, I was literally on the edge of my chair. With this show, you really never know....

Didn't Ben (Pointy Face) look extra creepy in that close-up with the glasses?

Julie said "peeps" again :lol:

Who is Jacob?

When Pickett and the other guy were on the way out to the cages (while Ben is under the knife) the no name says something to Pickett and Pickett says something to the effect of "He wasn't on Jacob's list"...hmmm more mysteries

I wonder what Jack asked Ben for in return for doing the surgery?

How are Ben and Alex connected? She was asking about him as she was carried away, and he asked about her before he went under. Alex also said something about "they're gonna kill your boyfriend just like they killed mine" Who's the boyfriend? The guy in the cage (Karl?), Ben? One eyed patch guy?

One thing (this goes waaaaaaaaay back to the first season) I'm still wondering is in Kate's first epi (Born to Run) she checks in to a hotel in Iowa and there is an envelope full of cash waiting for her - who sent it? :huh:

I guess we'll all have to wait a little longer :)

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
