OMgosh I thought last night's episode was so fantastic :lol:

They still present so many questions to few answers (i.e. how does Jack and Claire's dad, Christian, fit in to all of this?), but it seems we are moving forward so much more than we have in past seasons.

Julie--I agree....both this week and last week were great. They are finally moving the story forward, and it's ever so much earier to follow.

I couldn't wait to see who would be in Jacob's house--I guess this confirms that Claire is dead since she said she was

"with him" meaning her father.

How creepy was the "orderly" with John in the hospital?.....could he be Jacob? :unsure: He also appeared at the facility that Hurley was in and somewhere else I can't remember.

Oh gosh--speaking of creepy--that guy who was at the door when John was in the hospital as an infant and came back to test him as a child. He looked scared when John identified the things he showed him, even though he said that the knife didn't belong to him. OMG--and the drawing of the smoke killing a person :o

Can't WAIT for next week--the previews look good :)

That is what I read at some of the blog sites Patti, the theory that "some" people on the island might be dead already, i.e. Claire, and some others....but I won't spoil it :lol:

The orderly was that creepy guy that visited Hurley the mental facility after they get off the island, as the Oceanic 6. Also he was involved with putting the "rescue" group together (Naomi, Miles, Charlotte, Daniel, and the helicopter pilot)

Did you recognize that mystery guy who visited Locke as a child? He is one of the "Others", the one who sort of mentored Ben, and from what it seemed like at the time influenced him to kill his father and all of the Dharma initiative members. He was shown in flash backs to when Ben was a child and looked the same then as he did present day, he hadn't aged at all.

Another thing I noticed, that drawing young Locke had done that was hanging on the wall was of the smoke monster!

Thanks! We couldn't place him, but I remember now the scenes of when Ben was young and the whole thing with his father. That was the same guy....interesting.

OMG Julie...I was going to post here about the finale, and just hadn't gotten to it.

I'm really looking forward to tonight :D

Has anyone else noticed that on the show's logo the area above the word "Lost" is an island and the area below is a city? We just noticed that recently. :huh:

On the commercials for the show. At the end, the word "Lost" appears in front of an island. Mirrored in the ocean below the word, instead of a reflection of the island above, it's the skyline of a city.

Mark noticed it first, and we replayed the commercial (TiVo) and there it was.

Ok, last night's finale made my wee brain hurt!!! :lol::lol:

So much was going on....I'm still not quite sure what I think about it, once again it presented sooooo many questions that will probably take the next 3 seasons to be slowly answered and revealed :rolleyes: Ugh!

What a whirlwind!

you think you guys are confused? Try not watching it for the last 8 weeks, watch the finale, and THEN see how you feel......

:lol:

I don't even have enough of an idea as to what's going on to.......even formulate intelligent questions..... :huh:

So how did Locke die?

What "terrible things" happened on the island after Jack left?

What's up with Sun's husband? Is he dead or alive? I was thinking he was alive, and maybe she didn't know it, for a while because of that scene in the episode where she was giving birth and he was in China? getting that panda.

And I assumed "freckles" was visiting Sawyer after they got back to L.A.

I wonder if Ben has to get everyone to go back to the island in order for him to be able to go back?

Oh, and what happened to the little time travel guy? I forgot his name and lost him in the drama.

OK those are my thoughts and questions... for now.

Yeah Susie, I would say you had to be completely lost watching last night :lol:

Missys mom, lots and lots of questions...that I don't know the answer to either! I like to read the Lost Diary, lots of smarties on there putting some of the things together....I think it's thelostdiary.com

I got a little teary I have to admit when they left Jin behind, that was hard to see.

Daniel Faraday is the guys name in the zodiak thingy, the physicist guy. I don't know if they got moved with the island too because they seemed to bejust off shore...or are they now somewhere in the middle of nowhere?

And that was a little creepy when Miles was talking to Charlotte about trying so hard to get back here (so I take it she has been to the island before?)...then she says she was born here, what???

Hurley playing chess with Mr Ecko, Ben surprising Jack at the funeral home, and Locke in the coffin......SUPER creepy!

Sawyer jumping, I had a feeling he was going to do that.

I like Sawyer more and more and Jack less and less for some reason. Jack has too much pride I think and just barks orders without really thinking anything through, of course I might change my mind about that in the near future :lol:

I also can't wait to see what they plan to do with Sun and her father's company.....another thing I loved last night was the reunion of Penny and Desmond. Of course, Penny is Widmore's daughter.....more intrigue :D

I meant to comment, what was it 3 weeks ago?, about Sun standing up to her father. I was like, "Go Sun"!!!

I am afraid though things are going to be ugly next season between Sun and possibly Jack, I think he might be the other one she blames for Jin's death. Also if she is teaming up with Widmore, that would mean they are going up against Ben and Sayid, right?

So I am totally bummed!!!! I watched the finale on high def and they had some weird delay/replay thing almost halfway through, I have now found out I missed about 10 minutes of the show :o I didn't see the part with Walt so i am going to have to watch it online at ABC to see the parts I missed.

If I'm not mistaken, Sun giving birth and Jin getting the panda were two different time periods. Sun giving birth was after she got off the island, and Jin getting the panda was when he was working for her father and trying to "suck up" to another businessman who had just gotten a new baby (pre-crash). If I'm mistaken, someoone please jump in and correct me!!! :huh:

Nope--you're right! The scenes with Jin and the panda were flash backs that were juxtiposed with flash forwards of Sun having her baby.

Thanks for the response.

I thought that was a possibility but can't see what it contributes to the story line :huh: , other than to throw us off. :lol:

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @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!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
