***First off, I want to say that I’m a converted michelle rodriguez fan now. The tension in the scene between her and Goodwin totally sold me on her. I never really enjoyed her as a actress before.
Anyway, it’s day one for the tailies. Sweet opening like the old twister teaser trailer…SLAM!
First person we really see is ana lucia… no eye opening in this episode (a glass one later, though, to make up for it)
Eko’s wearing a nice suit. He’s not mute yet. Wonder what will do it? He pulls a woman out of the water, starts helping others.
The kids and the teddy bear… hey, we saw them, libby!
Ana knows CPR…she seems to be doing better than boone is on the other side of the island.
Shot of an asian guy shouting for his wife. (is this the real Bernard, and the guy in the tree is a plant? no, probably not)
Ana, to the kid whose mom is waiting for her to arrive in LA,
“I promise we’re gonna get you home soon, okay?”
ana stops to take a look around now… looks kinda like a deserted island, no?
flight attendant cindy looks after the children while eko starts collecting the dead.
Libby’s not a bad doctor. Snaps a broken leg back into place. Year of med school (Dropped out? she couldn’t hack it?) before becoming a psychologist.
A dry Goodwin comes running out of the jungle calling for help.
Bernard’s up in a tree, strapped into his seat next to a dead guy (kid?). Ana immediately takes control, calming him down by asking his name, then she talks him through what he needs to do. (meanwhile Goodwin wants to climb up. because he knows it would cause the seat to fall and kill Bernard, who might have seen him come from the jungle?) is ana some kind of negotiator in real life? A fed, a cop? she's definitely used to dealing with people.
That’s a nasty drop there. Ugh.
Goodwin’s starting a signal fire so “they” can find us. Who does he mean? interesting choice of words, find, not ‘rescue’?
“what are you, a boy scout?”
-grown up version, the peace corps. Hmm…
They introduce themselves, and ana shows some signs of real emotion.
Eko’s looking pretty haunted as Bernard comes over. Was it pulling all the dead bodies out of the sea that made Eko mute? guess not. Bernard wants to know if he pulled rose out. No, so there’s still hope. Eko tells Bernard he’ll pray for rose.
Bernard asks where the rescue planes are
“I will pray from them, too” – best line of the night from the mute guy.
Nice shot of the signal fire and the moon. The sounds of a struggle wake everyone up. It’s the first time we really see Nathan (ethan?). there're a couple of wet sounding crunches. Goodwin is the first to grab a torch and run toward the sounds. Ana orders libby to watch the kids. Taking control of the situation.
Okay, here’s what shut eko up for a while. Some nice gore. Goodwin probably knows these guys… he's got a good poker face.
The next morning eko still has the bloody shirt on… not for long though. He’s got a big tat on his shoulder I can’t really make out. Marines? A globe or something? If it’s really just the actors(did he have it in oz?), are they planning to work it in the way they are jacks?
Eko breaks off a staff (or a rod, to comfort him?). he hasn’t washed his hands yet. It’s probably been hours. All part of his atonement/penance?
Who are these dead guys? The guy we see looks pretty young, with a fresh looking haircut (unlike Goodwin). The fire led the others right to them. and who lit the fire? Mr. peace corps.
“no wallets, no cell phones, no keys, nothin’”
they took the blond guy, the curly haired guy, and the german guy who was helping with the injured.
“these people were here before us.”
Ana wants to move on, but Nathan wants to stay on the beach, and Goodwin is all over that idea. Cindy lets them all know what weiss told us last season -before getting eaten and dropped in a tree- that they’ll need a fire, cause no one will be looking for them anywhere near the crash site.
Day 3
They’re doing what here, searching for food? Eating clams? I cant tell.
Donald with the broken leg is dying of an infection.
“he’ll be the fourth to go”
"what are we supposed to do about that?”
Day 5
dig some graves, I guess. 9 graves we can see, 4 dead since the crash including Donald, 5 others? How many dead did they pull from the ocean? Have more been washing up? Did they bury the 'others' here too?
right now there are 16 people still breathing at the 'island palms' cemetery.
Day 7
Goodwin’s good at snapping that chickens neck. (haven't seen any of those on the other side) Lots of practice, maybe?
Eko's putting hash marks into his staff. counting the days. Looks like some writing too, but I cant make it out. Better tat shot here?
Libby tries out some of her psychology on eko. She was better at fixing the leg. ummm... or not.
Day 12
Ana’s making her spear out of someone’s souvenir Australian boomerang. Nice.
Nathan takes a 2 hour bathroom break. Not getting along with the poultry? Getting high?
The others come that night. There’re no whispers or rain with these guys. They’re just there. Silent like ninja. They take the kids and some others, 9 all told. Ana clocks a woman, I thought it might have been Danielle at first. Maybe it’s goodwin's wife and he’s got a REAL good poker face? (although he doesn’t look too happy kneeling beside her body after the commercial break.) she’s carrying a knife and a list of the nine they just took. Ana’s suspicious, Bernard asks why infiltrate us? goodwin gets all shifty-eyed.
Day 15
We’re down to Ana, Goodwin, Bernard, Libby, Eko, Nathan, and Cindy.
Ana’s in charge.
Day 17
Ana’s digging a hole for Nathan.
Day 19
A boot to the head!! Did everyone else know that he was going to say Canada? She’s good at interrogating - not that’s he’s giving anything up, but hey, there’s nothing to give, right? But this dude took another two hour bathroom break on the plane? Musta ate the fish. Or caught something during his “company retreat”
Day 23
Someone gave nathan a banana, but Ana’s not about to mess with eko. Anyone else, she woulda been all over. Does ana have any kids? Nope… but did she give any up? Maybe sign one away in a big office in LA? Maybe there are similar offices in new york, and Australia? maybe?
Ooooh, there's gonna be some finger cutting tomorrow!
I was not suspicious of Goodwin at all by this point. I so did not see that neck snap coming. Just like the chicken. Very cool twist. ouch.
Day 24
Its time to move
Day 26
Ana’s not trusting Goodwin now.
Day 27
the bunker... Didn’t it have a metal door when they got there with the rafters?
Quarantine! The dharma logo with a nice arrow pointing up.
A glass eye?!? Weird… with a bible and a radio! “we’re the surv…nope, not yet.
Ana’s onto Goodwin, so she goes along when he offers to walk up the mountain alone to get better reception.. This whole scene is just great.
“maybe they’re not attacking us”
Ana sarcastically says, yeah, there’s no real harm done.
Goodwin tells her she has a “good point”, and his face is dripping with irony.
by now his guy either knows she’s on to him and he’s given up, or he’s just kind of an idiot as he gives himself away while she’s questioning him.
“they didn’t take you”
back and forth they’re passing the knife. Tense tense tense!!!! that army knife must be as old as the computer under the hatch on the other side of the island! Ana lays it all out for Goodwin. It’s doesn’t matter that he killed Nathan, cause Nathan was not a good person. “that’s why he wasn’t on the list” (so the others just want to take the pure people? Walt, Claire, alex, aaron, eko. Wow. I guess the ratio of naughty to nice was much worse up in the front of the plane.)
“the children are fine. They’re better off now”
they roll down the hill and Goodwin is impaled (where Eko and co will find him later) Doink!
Ana comes back, and I guess everyone kind of knows what happened? Either way it explains why they are all kind of leery of her when we first met them.
Day 41
The great “we’re the survivors of flight eight one five!” moment. But ana's now super paranoid, and rightly so… Goodwin was the first person she really opened up to on the beach. they show that everyone knows about rose when ana hurts Bernard with “there’s no one out there” line. Different personality once she killed a man (like Charlie for a while there).
Ana cried and eko talks.
“going to be okay.”
40 days all around.
Libby and cindy find jin washed up. The look on jins face when he sees the size of eko is priceless. “he has a broken handcuff on his wrist!” good point there, i mean, if you didn’t know the guy...
“Michael! Sawyer! Others!”
they're tossed in. eko cracks ana a good one. she's tossed in.
Day 46
They let them out, bring them back to the bunker. I thought I remembered there being some more people in this scene. I guess not.
Day 47
Moving out… long day here. I thought a few days had passed during this time. No wonder sawyer's almost dead.
Day 48
Cindy’s gone. The whispers start. “that’s them.” “yeah, they shot her.” – what I heard. (Probably not right) -is that what Shannon yelling for walt sounds like to them for some reason?- Where’s the “RUN!” and the running? Editing decision I guess… they could have easily stretched this episode into 1 ½ hours. or a season. what a great episode.
There's no question who shot Shannon now.
