[Just a note: I'm a user at Lostpedia and help to work on some of the articles.]

Like Locke, I was wrong about the Swan. Not pushing the button will cause the system failure. It seems that it is Desmond who cause Flight815 to crash. He has failed to push the button that day (Sept 22, 2004) and cause a minor system failure.

In the finale, Desmond use the Swan key for the fail safe to lock the system down. Since the timer has been melt-down and the computer has been destroyed. They will no longer have to push the button next season. I just hope that Locke, Eko and Desmond do not die...I really like Locke and Desmond.

Some of the questions are answered, but after the finale, there are many more questions...Where to the Others live? Where are they taking Jack, Kate and Sawyer? Will Michael and Walt go back to our world or they will go back to the Losties for help? Why is Charlie not telling anyone what happened in the hatch?

Also, at the end of the episode, Penelope Widmore (of the Widmore Corp.) is looking for Desmond. She has said before "with money and determination, you can find anyone". So, there are people in our world looking for the people on the Island. The weird part is that Penelope Widmore's dad is the owner of Widmore Corp. Widmore, Hanso Foundation and Dharma are related...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Alias series finale can be seen again on CTV tomorrow...I think I will watch it again. I cannot believe that Spy-Daddy die; but Syd and MV have a happy ending. Fav. Quote from the finale -- Spy-Daddy to Sloane -- "You can escape death, but you cannot escape me!".

Summary:

Sasuke fights!

He is much stronger now. In pre-timeskip, like Kakashi, he can only release the Chidori using his hands. Now, he can release Chidori from his whole body. Attacking along with his Kusanagi sword, his attacks cannot be blocked. He striked Yamato with his sword and use Chidori to numb him. Chidori is flowing down from his sword.

On the other hand, Kyuubi is taunting Naruto to remove the seal completely so he can give him his powers. He said that Naruto is always running to Kyuubi, begging him to lend him power, whenever he is in trouble. Naruto do not wish to release the Kyuubi's power anymore.

Then, Sasuke came inside (to Naruto's mind/body). Naruto asked Sasuke -- "Why are you here?". Sasuke saw Kyuubi and now knows that he has a monster inside him, giving him his hidden strength. He stares at Kyuubi like how Orochimaru stares at the Kyuubi during the fight previously.

Summary:

Sasuke and Naruto flashed back on their bond. Sasuke stated that he knows that his bond with Naruto and Team Kakashi cannot be severe. But, he has one other bond that overcome their bonds; it is his bond with Itachi, the bond of hatred.

Naruto asked Sasuke why didn't he kill him during their fight at the Valley of the End. Sasuke said that he will not go though the path that his brother told him to go - to kill his best friend to obtain the MS. He said that he will obtain strength another way. He told Naruto that he will not understand. Sasuke said that he will severe the bonds with Naruto.

Sasuke has gained a lot of strength now. Time has changed Sasuke for the worst. It has make him cold-hearted. It looks like that next chapter, Sasuke and Naruto will fight once more. Who will be stronger?! (I hope Naruto will beat some sense into Sasuke. But, Naruto is too weak to fight right now, after his previous fight with Orochimaru and changed into Kyuubi Naruto.)

Summary:

* This episode tells what happened to Michael during the time he went to search for Walt in the jungle.
* Michael is taken by the Others, Mr. Friendly and co. He saw Alex (French-lady's daughter). She asked him about Claire and baby Aaron. Michael looked at her questionably.
* They bought him to their camp site. It is near a black rock. What he said about the Others are true. They have a hatch, and they live in huts. They eat dry fish. One of the Others take some sample of his blood.
* Ms. Klugh came and ask Michael about some question about Walt. Some of the things she said is true -- for him to want his son so badly, he does not seem to know much about his son at all.
* Later, she told him that he will release him and Walt if he go back to locates camp and free FHG. She even let him to see Walt -- only for three minutes.
* Walt told him that the Others give him tests and they are not who they say they are. They are just pretending.
* Ms. Klugh told him that he must free Michael and bring 4 people back to him:
-- Jack, Kate, Hurley and James Ford (Sawyer). Michael ask her to give him a boat after as well.
* During this episode, Michael is desperately trying to convince the 4 to go with him. In the end, all 4 Losties agreed to go with him to find the Others.


* Locke is doing nothing now and just sit there and watch the ocean. When the Losties are gathering for Libby and AL's funeral, Locke cut his leg brace and left limping on his own.
* Mr. Eko is now stationed at the Swan to push the button. It is his job now he says. We see that the Hatch is magnetic...It is pulling on the cross around his neck.
* Vincent found that Virgin Mary statues in Sawyer's stash and lead Charlie to them. Charlie threw them all to the ocean. Locke was there and saw him do it.
* Sawyer told Jack about how Ana-Lucia got his gun. Jack asked why he is telling him this. Sawyer replied that Jack is his closest friend since AL is gone.
* Sayid saw threw Michael and know that he has been compromised. He told Jack about it. They have only one day to plan ahead so they will not fall into the Others' trap.

* At the end of the episode, Sun exclaimed "A Boat". All of the Losties gather around and see a sail boat coming to them. Could this be the Pala Ferry? The Ferry may be triggered by Locke when he put his map in the chute at the Pearl. Or, this can be the boat that Ms. Klugh promised.

* During the last commerical break, there is another Hanso ad. This time, it is the URL to www.letyourcompassguideyou.com. This is the URL found earlier (before the show) for today's clue to the Lost Experience ARG game. It is found at the Hanso website. I now believe that these commericals let people catch up to the game; they do not hold new clues, except that first commercial with the Hanso Phone Line number.

Next week is the season finale of Lost and the series finale of Alias. Alias is a two-hour episode on Monday. Monday is Victoria Day and it will be a real treat before going back to work on Tuesday!!! =)

One week late, but there is not much to say about this chapter. Three words can describe it:

Sasuke finally appears!!!!!

Lost summary: “?”

This is an Eko flashback.

Eko had a dream about Yemi and Ana-Lucia (remember that Ana died a few minutes ago Lost-time). Yemi asked Eko to help Locke. Yemi said that Locke has lost his way and asked him to make Locke to bring him to the question mark.

Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Locke went through the jungle to the hatch. They saw Michael coming out of the Hatch. Michael told them that FHG shot him and the others. Eko was there as well. They went back to the hatch and saw Ana-Lucia on the sofa and Libby lying on the floor.

Kate went to check Ana-Lucia’s pulse and announced her dead. Sawyer went to check on Libby. Libby is not dead. She is coughing up blood. Eko said a prayer for Ana-Lucia. Locke and Eko went to look for FHG. Jack told them that if they find anything, come back to the hatch so they will decide what to do together. Eko only went with Locke because of his dream. [The conversations between Locke and Eko are so funny!!! First, it was the Hello! in the earlier episodes in season 2.] In the forest, Eko asked Locke “Where is the question mark?” LOL!!… (hahaha…I can’t help but laugh here…). Locke told him that he does not know what he is talking about and told him to chase after his own shadow. Eko repeated that Locke knows about the question mark. Locke did not want to go and Eko knocked him out. Locke woke up…Eko asked him about the “?” again. Locke said “You don’t even know what you are talking about, do you?” Eko “No, I don’t. But, you do.” Then, Locke gave the map that he drew to Eko. They followed the map and went back to the Yemi’s plane. Eko knew Locke was the one who found the plane and asked why the plane fell. Locke did not tell him about the accident with Boone and the plane.

Jack is worried about them (Locke and Eko). Michael kept on asking how Libby is doing. He is paranoid that she will wake up and rat him out. Jack wanted to get the heroin in the statues (now possessed by Sawyer) so he can administer the drug to Libby. He asked Sawyer and Kate to go get it. Sawyer’s hiding place for the guns and the heroin is no place special. They are all under Sawyer’s hut all along. Hurley went to them and asked about Libby. Kate told Hurley….

Locke had a dream about Yemi’s brother. He dreamed that Eko climbed up the cliff (where the plane is) and fell off. He woke up when Yemi told Locke to wake up. Eko climbed to the top of the cliff, looked below and saw the question mark sign where the plane is. They found the hatch right below the plane. This hatch is unlike the Swan. It is full of monitors, notebooks, a Dot-Matrix printer and a suction tube (for communication). This hatch appears to be more modern than the Swan. Locke turned on all of the monitors and saw the Swan…They are shocked to see Jack walking around the Swan hatch. Locke saw another computer. This time the computer has the command to print the log files. Locke press Y and Execute. Log files are printed. Eko found the Orientation video – part 5 of 6. This time, the video can be played using a VCR. The logo of this hatch is empty. It is just a Dharma sign with an empty centre. This hatch is the “Pearl” – Station 5. Once again, the Orientation video is introduced by Dr. Candle (But I heard him say that he is Marc Rickman??!!). This time, he appears to be younger and both of his arms are moving. He is not wearing the white lab coat, but normal cloths. The people in this hatch are supposed to stay in the hatch for 3 weeks to monitors (the Swan). Each person has an eight-hour shift. Dr. Candle said that they are monitoring their teammates that are in a psychological experiment in progress. The participants in the Swan where told that they were doing something important (i.e. pushing the button to save the world). [So, this is the Skinner’s box!!!] After the three weeks have ended, they are supposed to leave the Pearl and go to ferry by the barge?! (hopefully, someone will be able to transcribe the video). Also, they are supposed to put their observations in the suction tube. He said that he will receive the observations from them.

[It seems that this video is created before the Swan video – as Candle’s arms are both intact. But, he has a different name?! However, the equipment in the Pearl are newer…at least they are watching the Orientation video using a VCR.]

[During the commercial at this time, the Hanso ad appeared again with the link to the sprite’s site that was discovered yesterday and the Hanso phone number].

Eko asked whether Locke wants to see the video again. Locke said that he has seen enough. Eko was gathering things up so they can bring back to the hatch. He said that they may be important. Locke is frustrated and asked why is he doing this…Did he not understand the video? Eko said that he understand the video. But, they must continue to push the button. It is more important than ever. They are being tested. The reason to push the button is not because they are not being told to do so. They do it because they are meant to. Is it not the reason Locke push the button in the first place, he asked Locke. Locke argued back. Eko told him that the plane above them is Yemi’s plane. They are meant to find the plane and find the hatch below it. Eko said if Locke does not push the button, he will do it himself. They went back to the hatch.

[Libby saw Eko at the airport in the flashback].

Hurley went to see Libby and Libby woke up. Jack went to checkup on her. Libby whispered “Michael”. Jack thought that she was asking whether he was OK…She was not able to get her message across and she died. Then, the camera zooms into Michael and to the Swan’s computer.

[Libby is one of the main Losties without a flashback at this time. Now, only two Tailies are left – Eko and Bernard. Technically, Bernard is from the Mid-section of the plane].

In next week’s preview, Michael went back to camp with Jack and co. He only wants the main people, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Eko, etc to go with him to where the Others are, in the Canadian preview. Sun is shocked to see Michael. In the ABC preview, Sayid is the only one who thinks that Michael is compromised. Jack does not seem to believe Sayid. Also, Michael met one of the Others and told him that his son is standing outside. Next week’s “Three Minutes” will be Michael’s flashback during the time he left the camp to find his son.

Naruto Chapter 305 was out last Tuesday, but I'm too caught up in the Lost Experience game to update the blog. I have signed up at lostpedia.com to update the articles...

Naruto Chapter 305 Basic Summary:

Naruto and Sai met Oro. Naruto asked Sai to go find Sasuke. After Sai left, Naruto and Oro talked a bit. Yamato sensed Naruto in danger and they came to his aid. Oro commented that he wanted them to destroy the Akatsuki for him, so he left. Oro said that he still has some business with Sai.

Yamato and Sakura found Sai's picture book and his mission (bingo) book. Naruto commented that Sai has changed. However, Yamato showed them the bingo book and it appears that Sai's real mission is to kill Sasuke. Sasuke is a danger to Konoha. Danzou and Tsunade's objectives are the same -- to protect Konoha; however, their ways to achieve it are different. Team Yamato hurried to find Sai and Sasuke.

Sai used his ink jutsus to find Sasuke. (This time, we only see Sasuke's back with his little Uchiha Clan symbol on the back of his shirt). He told Sasuke that his mission is to kill him. However, after he met Naruto, he wanted to bring Sasuke back to Konoha. He wanted to repair Naruto and Sasuke's bond.

There will be a new chapter Naruto 306 this week (earliest Thursday).

Here are the links to the Lost Experience websites that I visited daily (and whenever I can at work...hehe...):

www.lostpedia.com
www.thelostexperience.com
www.experience-lost.com
thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com

and of course:
www.thehansofoundation.org

If you are playing that game and read my blog, feel free to leave comments and let me know the URL of other clue sites that you visit.

------------------------------------------------------

My theory of this game...

The current clues linked Gary Troup + "Bad Twin" to thehansofoundation.org. I believe that the Hanso Foundation, Dharma, and Widmore caused the crash of Flight 815. Cindy (yeah my name) is the flight attendent of Flight 815 (the Tailies that was missing when they are going to the Losties' camp) and is the GF of Gary Troup. Gary Troup is also on that plane. Many believe that he is the Turbine Man who got sucked into the plane's engine and caused the explosion of what is left of the plane in the first day of the crash (The Pilot). Only his Bad Twin manuscript remains. Bad Twin was read by Hurley (who read it in "The Long Con") and Sawyer...I think that Sawyer read only half of it before Jack threw the manuscript into the fire in last week's episode. So, only Hurley knows the whole story.

My theory for this week's episode:

Ana-Lucia is confirmed dead (in news articles and as well as the podcast yesterday). I think that Libby is also dead. This may be true if the spoiler at youtube.com is true...

Labels: manga, naruto

The clue to the game is the phone number:
1-877-HANSORG

It appeared in the commerical.

Now for the summary:

This episode is an Anna-Lucia flashback.

- Anna-Lucia's cop car was number 42. There were other numbers (for the cop cars) like 15 and 23 at the parking lot where Anna-Lucia worked.
- Anna-Lucia met Jack's father where she worked as a security guard at the airport. They were going to Australia together. Jack's father wanted her to be her bodyguard.
- While they were in Australia, they bumped into Sawyer at the Bar (which I assume that was when Sawyer met Jack's father later).
- At the airport (from Australia to LAX), Anna-Lucia met Jin and Jack while waiting in line to checkin. She phoned her mom before boarding the plane and her mom told her that she will wait for her at the airport home.

On the island:

- Michael got back. Fake-HenryGale tried to kill Anna-Lucia, but Locke stopped him. When Locke went back to confront Fake-HenryGale as to why he wanted to kill Anna-Lucia but not him, Fake-HenryGale replied that when the French-lady caught him, he was going to the Losties camp to get/see Locke.

- Michael later woke up and rally Jack, Locke and Kate to help him fight The Others. He said that the Others are unarmed and they seemed to be at the other hatch (underground).

- Anna-Lucia tried to kill Fake-HenryGale for the incident earlier, but she could not do it. She told Michael about Fake-HenryGale and Michael told her that he will kill him for her. He took her gun that she got from Sawyer and SHOT her!!!! He is spooked by Libby coming to get a blanket for the picnic with Hurley and he SHOT her as well!!!

- So, the two graves and the rumours are possibly true. Libby and Anna-Lucia may be gone now. Libby for a fact may be gone as she has a spot in another show.

- Michael opened the door to Fake-HenryGale's cell and he shot himself in front of him. He was trying to frame him. I think he wants to start a war -- Losties and the Others -- so he can get his son back. Jack and the other Losties do not know that Michael shot Anna-Lucia and Libby. They will think that Fake-HenryGale shot them and shot Michael in return...Michael is EVIL!!!
