We LOVE Lost at my house. In fact, I am ironically rewatching last night's dvr at this very moment.
Here are my thoughts about your questions...An
y, you might not want to read the rest of this post
It does not suprise me that jack remembered that guy. It may have only been for a few minutes and it may have been years ago, but it was on the night of one of the most crucial events in jack's life. That lasy that jack operates on goes on to be his wife, and the fact that she can walk is a miracle. The night that jack did her operation, met that guy, and then found out she wasn't paralyzed afterall would deffinately be burnt into his memory.... What I want to know is the guys role: is it a coincidence that he met jack, or is it related to him being on the island? And has that guy met the other survivors?
I too think it is weird that the 'quarantined' is written on the inside of the hatch - what is supposed to be the quarantine, the hatch, or the rest of the island. I think it is the hatch that is supposed to be the quarantine, and that there is another entrance to the cave. What I really want to know though is what that guy was shooting in his arm.
I am not sure about hurley and the hospital. Last season when they showed that I thought that he has been and orderly, but last night it implied he was a patient. I am sure we will learn more about it in his next flashback episode.
I think that it was really Walt that was in the jungle. I think this because he was soaking wet and he whispered to her. I think he escaped the pirates in the ocean and that is why he is wet, and now he is hiding from them. I have replayed his whispering a couple times and I am not sure, but I
think he says "I have something they want" and then something else I have no clue about. Remember walt has weird physchic powers or something about, which we know from the bird and the polar bear and a few other examples. If any castaway has a weird physic thing going on, it is deffinately walt.
I don't find charlie particularly annoying. I think he is going through a hard time because he is struggling with his drug addiction still (he thought he was through with withdrawl, but then he found those drugs on the plane and that meant another internal struggle) and also he is maturing and turning himself into a very protective father figure for the baby with is really hard for a former permanent screw up.
