they won\'t prevent it.  dan didn\'t prevent his mother shooting him. and the purpose of his mother shooting him is probably to keep the incident from being prevented.

dan was the key variable. now that he\'s dead, the rest are not going to have a clue what to do.

Uh the previews for next week clearly show

Spoiler (hover to show)

Jack holding Dan\'s journal and saying something along the lines of if we do what\'s in this book we can.....

I think Dan knew what he was doing and suspected he may die.

i don\'t know...he seemed pretty surprised to me when he was on the ground. i suppose he could have been surprised that it was eloise that did it. or maybe he was just surprised that her shooting him confirmed his suspicions that his mom sent him to the island knowing he would die (at her hands).

hmmm...walking to the hostile\'s territory while brandishing a gun then pointing it at their leader (?) could be perceived as a bit of a deathwish. maybe he did know

folks -

PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS.

talking about anything that hasn\'t aired yet is spoiler material. same goes for previews for the following week\'s episodes. some people don\'t watch them.

is there a spoiler button on the toolbar? i just add them myself, but it would make it easier

man, i really hope this show doesn\'t end up with them all walking off 815 in la as if nothing happened....


i also think that when eloise said to penny that desmond was a casualty of the island, i think its because she expected something to have changed re: her shooting daniel. maybe she thought he was smart enough to figure out a way to subvert what happened. and then, when she found out he was ok, she relaxed a little, like when charles asked if desmond was alright and then said, \'good\' when he found out des was ok, i think that means that to them, sa far, things are still on track as they want/know them to be.

this was also the first epidose in a while that i didn\'t notice any \'re-used\' dialogue.

not quite, i\'ve been noticing that other characters have been saying lines from past episodes that were said by other characters the first time around. frank lapidus said a hurley line, jack and kate had a jack and locke conversation with jack benig locke the second time, etc... not this episode, though...

they\'re specific references. lapidus\' was when the smoke monster started rustling the trees when he and sun showed up ni the canoe/outrigger thing. it was the same line as hurley had their first night after the crash when smokey was screwing with the trees.

the one with jack and kate/locke was the one that was \'i\'m here for a reason.\' \'what reason?\' \'i don\'t know yet\' \'well, you\'d better figure it out soon.\'

there\'s have been more and i\'m not the only one who has noticed it, but you\'re right. the first few times it happened, i figured i was just too tipsy, but then it kept happening and others began noticing it, too, so i felt a little more sure about it....

faraday watching the crash coverage and crying was from a previous episode. is that what you mean?

i believe there were a couple "then god, help us all !" \'s tossed around last night

"god help us all" club: Ben, Ms. Hawking, Dr. Chang

am i missing anyone?

I don\'t think Daniel is \'dead\' in the way we think of. He reminds me of The DOCTOR (Dr. Who) reincarnated.
