Live Posting-Episode 3.07: Not In Portland
Welcome to live posting for Episode 3.07 titled "Not In Portland" airing for 60 minutes on ABC at 10/9c. This features posts during the commercial breaks of LOST with thoughts as I watch.
All timestamps are Central time.
8:59PM-College basketball is done. LOST will air in HD on time...
9:05PM-I like that we're seeing a flashback of an Other. And I like the tension in OR so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to Ben. I imagine it probably won't be resolved in this episode but it might. Time will tell...
9:17PM-I'm disappointed that The Others' gunshots missed so much. Shouldn't have fired so many to make it more realistic. And Ben waking up. That's interesting. Is he fully aware of what he's saying or is he dreaming?
9:39PM-Had to skip a commercial break. Wow, what on earth was that room about? Ben is Alex's dad? Did he adopt her or is she really his daughter? Rousseau said she had never seen The Others, just heard their whispers. Did she lie and she had been with Ben? Or do they steal the kids and give them to Others as their own children. Back to the show...
9:47PM-Wow, that bus came out of nowhere. That was intense. And Juliet shooting Danny was interesting. And what was Juliet injecting her sister with? Will her sister give birth or will that fail? Juliet doesn't look to have aged much between flashback and real-time so when did she get to the island? I think we're in for a good final 15 minutes or so...
10:00PM-Great episode. Didn't disappoint me. The flashback was good (not amazing but solid). And the action was good (even the bad guys can't shoot well at all yet The Others could capture the four at the end of last season, anyways...). So the medical place is "not in Portland". Is Juliet a previously-willing prisoner? Will she really be allowed to leave? Will Jack be allowed to leave? What will happen to Carl? Was Ethan a doctor or just an assistant? Is Ben all good now?
Further observations coming tomorrow after some reading of forums and other people's observations.

That was an amazing episode! I do have a lot of questions though. . . why did juliette trust what ben said to her? why did she believe that he would really let her go. . . why was her sister getting pregnant such a big deal? what was juliette injecting into her? why does ben care about Alex so much? what's going to happen to Jack? Great episode, kept the story line moving. Answered some questions and gave us some new ones. I can't wait till next weeks episode.
Yeah finnale this season is providing us with something other than the stalling that I feel like we've been dealing with for the past 5 episodes.
Alright so what I think. Well, lets start with the bus. It seemed obvious that the people recruiting her did it, but think about it. That is a near impossible task, he was only on the street for a couple seconds and that bus was flying. The timing had to be like perfect, and they would have to have already known when he was going to walk on the street.
So how about this. The guy called her "special." Sound familiar, thats what they called Walt all the time. He made things happened on accident (maybe). Well Juliet is the one who said the thing about him getting hit by a bus, and her favorite book is Carrie, the Steven King book about a teleknesis girl. Hmm food for thought. Maybe not, but I thought that was cool.
