I watched LOST tonight, the episode where they showed what happened to the survivors from the tail section of the plane. I think my most burning question is who the heck are The Others? Any theories? I admit, I’m stumped. Something one of the characters (who turned out to be one of The Others) said tonight sounded Rapture-esque (as in the biblical Rapture). When Ana Lucia asked why certain people were taken, particularly the kids, he said the good ones were taken and that they were fine and in a better place. Still, not sure those scary dudes on the boat who took Walt looked very heavenly to me though.
Well, the storm system that blew through last night brought colder weather. Yesterday, I went walking while it was in the 70s. Tonight, we’re supposed to dip to about 21. Brrr. So not my kind of weather.
I made good progress today on the NEXT-targeted book — a little more than 12 pages. I’d thought I’d finish Ch. 3, but I still have a little bit of a scene left and my brain is too tired to complete it tonight. I’ll save it until the morning when my mind is fresh. Still on target to get my partial to my agent by the end of the week though.

I don’t think The Others seem all that heavenly either. Just the opposite, in fact.

Finally got to see it. I have no theories about the Others. I’m dying to see what’s going to happen to Ana next week, though.

My husband has a thought that they have some sort of Peter Pan thing going on – the lost boys against the pirates. The adults (on the boat that stole Walt) being the pirates, and the group of others that we actually saw walking through the jungle being the “lost boys” or the children. That was an episode a couple of weeks ago – where we just saw all the bare feet and skinny, dirty legs? Did you notice that one of them was dragging that beat up Teddy Bear? The same Teddy Bear probably that they showed last week with the children from the tail section?
I’m not sure what’s going on – and I wonder if even the writers of the show know what they’re going to do. BUT – I’m loving watching ever second of it. It just better not be a dream or some lame thing like that.
