One of the best parts about the experience of LOST, is talking about a new episode after it airs with other fans, coworkers, family members, friends, and random people you know via the web that follow the show. In this segment, we've decided to give you an inside look into the chats Astro and I engage in after each episode. It's not focused, and definitely unscripted - but we hope it is at least entertaining, sometimes insightful, and perhaps provides an interesting glimpse behind the curtain here at SWLS. Click the "continue" link below to delve into the madness.

Last week I wrote about my views of time travel as a Lost fan, but also as a science fiction newbie. I came to the conclusion that I could live with the time travel since it was linear. I got the impression that they were going to avoid paradoxes and use it as a story telling technique. Daniel Faraday and Pierre Chang both explained that you can not go back in time and change the past which means you can not change the future. After observing 5x03 "Jughead" I believe they have achieved one of the goals, but failed on the other.

This episode title brought about a lot of curiosity. Is "Jughead" a person, place or thing? Is it the character in the Archie comics? Is it a partial shout out to a certain "moderator extraordinaire" that has a thing for feisty, green-eyed brunettes on the run? Well, now we know one thing for certain: Jughead is Da BOMB!! Um, sorry. I'm sorry. That was pretty bad, wasn't it? I... I just couldn't help myself.

Daniel and company quickly realize that Richard and his band of Others have a big problem on their hands in the form of a hydrogen bomb. When Daniel is finally taken to the bomb, we see that the episode shares the name with the bomb, Jughead. Daniel has to quickly tell Ellie (his mom) that they need to bury the bomb to avoid destroying the island before he flashes to another time. But did you know that there was a real nuclear test code-named Jughead that took place in 1954? Follow the jump for more info.

Ever since last week when a time traveling Daniel Faraday told in-the-past Desmond to go find his mom, many have been speculating that his mother was the infamous Ms. Hawking. After all, they both share a love for chalkboards and math, so why not make the connection. Well, tonight we got some fairly solid proof that our suspicions were correct.

If you watched the repeat of 5x02 tonight, at the end when Ms. Hawking is shown, the popup message at the bottom of the screen identifies her as Eloise Hawking. This is the first time we've been given her first name.

LOST returned last week via an exciting double dose of Season 5 with "Because You Left" and "The Lie". The new season picked up right where we left off, flashing back and forth between the Oceanic 6 and those still left on the time jumping island. The new episodes gave us a lot to talk about, and much to anticipate. "Jughead", the third episode of Season 5, airs tonight at 9pm EST on ABC. As you prepare for tonight's serving, make sure to check out a State of LOST commentary, as well as the episode recaps. Then hit the continue reading link below to find out more about "Jughead".

Please Note, the following is a spoiler for episode 3, Jughead. Please read at your own discretion.

This season it appears that SWLS will be getting a little something extra. Starting today, we'll be posting the occasional spoiler for the upcoming episode of the week. This information is due to a reliable source we've recently been approached by, who is interested in passing a long some information on the show. Naturally, our source wishes to remain anonymous, so we'll be referring to him as Jacob. We believe that these spoilers are extremely accurate, but as is always true with a spoiler of this nature, coming from a somewhat unknown source, you should always treat these as gossip and rumor until you see it on the show. We think Jacob's accuracy will be evident, however. In addition, because we have no interest in completely ruining an episode of Lost for the fans, we will be limiting the spoilers we post, or making them somewhat cryptic so as to not definitely give a major reveal away. So enjoy what Jacob has for you this week...
