So what were the 3 big mysteries? - Page 2

I am wondering why at the end of the episode Jack only recieves part of the tattoo that we are all farmiliar with, I thought we were going to learn what the whole thing meant. The Sheriff lady said a few things about it nothing I could really comprehend though.

I don't think we are done with Jack's tattoo story. The Thai chick only put the bottom characters on his arm. The number 5 and the cloud thingy were not on his arm when he got beat up on the beach.

I agree with you on carl and his worthlessness. but he is brainwashed so i suggest we never trust him or give him any credit for original thoguht. I thinnk he was brainwashed even before they put in him room 23. ( just by being an other. I wanted to punch him the whole time.

Jack being my favorite character. i wanted to know about the tats. Everyone has a fav character so please understand that it was a big deal for some of us! I'll tell you if michael is still alive. i dont care why, i just want him dead. but thats me! i dont expect anyone to agree with me.

Love the frog!

Ethan was a doctor??? Maybe in the neolithic era. His cro magnon brow and reduced size of his cranial lobes, would never allow him to have the know how to be a real doctor. ALL we know is he stalks women... He stalked claire. he stalked juliet... I have seen horror films where men posed as "doctors". thats ethan to a T.

In the beginning of the third season wasn't ethan fixing juliet's plumbing? what is he a pipe surgeon?

Did you hear what they said in the preview for next week? Something about "you need to watch so you'll know what everyone is talking about the next morning"? Fire that marketing moron.

You cant fire that mktg person, until he/she over-hypes the big reveal about the 5&stars part of the Tat that Bailing didnt actually do...

I think the 5 tattoo is affiliated with him being on Party of Five. And the Brady Bunch thing was wierd, because we know they have access to outside television because Ben showed Jack the Boston Red Socks winning the World Series! ....What? They have a television, a video tape recorder, a video tape player, (Juliet has a CD player), but they don't get cable?

I have to say I expected much bigger things, but whatever. I'm thinking that maybe Cindy, the kids and everyone else are staying elsewhere. By that I mean the little town on the island. Because to me, that is a much "better life" than where they were at in last night's episode.

About the tattoos - didn't isabelle say the 5 and the star are cute but.... then go on to talk about the chinese symbols?

Ethan is no surgeon! he was fixing juliet's plumbing at the beginning of the third season. Does anyone remember that?
