What night is it shown in America and when does it become available to download?

Tonight?

Or Thursday, depending on how you look at it.

Just watched the second episode; not quite as good as the first, but still good, and it raised yet more questions to be pondered:

1) Who is "him", that Desmond refers to?

2) Why is that hexagonal "Dharma" badge on EVERYTHING (including the shark; https://lost.cubit.net/pics/lostShark.jpg)

3) How did Jin get back to the Island so quickly?

4) Who were the "others" that were following Jin?

5) Why does Desmond have to continuously re-enter the code on his computer every x amount of minutes?

Frustrating that we didn't get to see more of Jack/Desmond at the end though, but I suppose that's for next week's episode.

Aye. That's what's I like about it though; it creates LOADS of speculation and questions.

It's like a mystery program, where you don't even know what exactly the mystery is.

That's what I was thinking; maybe Desmond has been assigned there to protect something (by entering the numbers), and "him" is the person who has to take over the job from Desmond after a certain period of time?

I noticed that Kate ate the chocolate bar after checking the expiry date on it's wrapper; so that alone suggests that either Desmond hasn't been down there for that long, or at least that he gets re-supplied every so often.

It was strange though, that he said "So.. There's still a world out there?!", when Locke was talking about the plane crash. Suggests he was maybe brought to the hatch initially under the belief that the world was about to end or something.

Episode 3 currently being downloaded...

Enjoyed the episode, but I must say, I got surprised when we saw the movie in the hatch. The city pictured there i just an hour drive away from here. I travel to the city a couple of times a year for football matches.  Up in Northern-Norway, who would have though? Now the Norwegian newspapers are running a story about it. It actually turns out, that the mystic person in the movie (described as Alvar Hanso) is being pointed out by persons in the building as the father of the coach for one of the best clubs in Norway (JA Riise's former club), which the coach doesn't deny after seing the footage. Clearly the same city.

Narvik (The City):

Dunno if anyone's ever noticed this during episode 1; but you can clearly see some kind of black object, like the smoke seen during the later episodes when the 'monster' attacks, fly past the exploding engine and head upwards:



There's also another bit flies off to the right, if you look closely.

Another interesting thing is that the Dharma logo appears to be engraved on the side of the aircraft:



You can see it just to the right of the canopy on the above image, and to the far right of the picture, in line with Walt's waste, on the one below:



There's bigger versions of those images on the links below:

Could possibly suggest that Dharma brought the plane down deliberately, for whatever reason. Maybe to use the survivors as research subjects? (Which could also co-incide with the next image)

Another good one compares the two founding scientists in the Hanso Foundation video, to "the others" that were on the boat when Walt was kidnapped:



I think it's certainly plausible that they could be the same people (taking into account that they'd both be around 15/20 years older), which raises yet more questions about what's going on... My current theory is that "the others" are scientists (or ex-scientists) at Dharma, and they deliberately brought the plane down and kidnapped Walt so that they could experiment on him, since he seems to have some kind of "powers" (as we seen when he apparently made the bird crash into the window during his flashback)...

Well if that turns out to be the case whenever the show finaly finishes, I'll come back to this thread, consider that to be a spoiler, hack into your account, and ban your IP from within.

Just so you know like.

Yep. It could just turn out to be naff special effects of course, but I seriously doubt it given that the rest of the CGI on the show is generally good.

Downloading now so will probably watch it tomorrow night.
