this week's Lost (spoilers under the cut and hopefully also in comments)

Sun sure is gorgeous!

Dude, the woman who fell from the helicopter was so not saying thank you for helping me. She said, "Eu não estou só," which is Portuguese for "I'm not alone."

What do you think the part at the end meant? What the heck?

I watched the episode and the one two weeks ago at abc.com and I liked that pretty well. I had tried that a few months earlier and hadn't gotten it to work but they have a new system and it can fill your whole screen, and runs much better than the episodes I have downloaded from iTunes. You have to wait one day for them but then they are free, and they do have a few commercials but not nearly as many as on TV.

I'm not alone Wow, what does that mean? And how come all the different languages, anyway? So many questions the writers leave for us!!

[sophinisba]

It was exciting a few weeks ago when they actually started to give us some answers as well! I hope we'll get some more of those soon!

Thank you so much for translating that line. What a fascinating -- and yet wacky -- episode. WHAT is going on on that island??

[sophinisba]

This show is never ever ever going to make sense!

A few things...I'm wondering about that Penny and her claim that if you have money you can find anyone. She had a pic of Penny and Desmond and she recognized and said Desmond's name.

oh, I just adore Sun. She is probably my favorite character overall!

But that part at the end? ???????? wtf?????

[sophinisba]

Yeah, I was sure she was working for Penny and all, and connected with those guys from the listening station from the end of season two, but what the heck? I feel like she must be lying but then I think, why would she lie? I don't get it and I wish I could trust that eventually we'll be given an explanation that makes sense, but I'm wary.

Very strange indeed. Thanks for the translation. I figured the Other didn't translate truly. And I'm with others here, Sun is so gorgeous. And what a marvelous performance from the actress.

[sophinisba]

Yeah, he had that really shifty look when he said it. I don't think any of our guys believed him either.

It is so nice to be getting back to the characters I like after all that Kate-Jack-Sawyer business in the first half of the season! I hope we keep seeing more of Sun.

She is really beautiful and such a good actress.

I have always thought they were all probably dead except for Jack, or they were all alive and Jack was dead. One of my theories anyway...

So she was speaking Portuguese! That whole exchange baffled me! But what could that mean???

Brazil, obviously but what kind of plot hinges on being specifically from Brazil? Supposedly a lot of Nazis fled to South America, ancient Nazis, Nazi descendants... who knows?Not me! Guys are fascinated by Hitler, though and I am pretty certain this plot is testosterone fueled, or none of the guys would ever have shirts on...

I wander...

I know people have said things about purgatory and I wasn't around for most of the conversations because I just got caught up recently but I'm like... wtf... I mean...

Yeah, I don't know what to do with that ending at all.

The weird thing is, that was the only thing she said in Portuguese in the whole episode. Other times she was speaking Spanish or Chinese or Italian or, of course, English. And I guess the actress is British (though of course that wouldn't keep the producers from having her play a character of another nationality). I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.

But I did like this episode.
