See my initial thoughts for more…

1. Is anyone else starting to think that the eye opening has just become something expected rather than anything meaningful? Sure, there’s something behind it but overall it’s almost like we expect it rather than the writers trying to tell us something with it. On another note, isn’t it nice to see wrinkles on a Hollywood actor? The whole plastic surgery turning actors into zombies is out of control so it’s nice to see something real. Matthew Fox is easy on the eyes just the way he is!

2. It looks like a Star Wars toy to me that he kicks. I’m not seeing much significance to the toy itself unless it’s just a silly shout out to those who have been saying that they are in outer space. I’d like to see how they are going to get back to *that* island! (that’s a joke, btw). We also see a space mobile above his crib to go along with that theme.

3. Sorry Jaters but I’ve thought a lot about this whole relationship with Kate and Jack and first of all I was hoping, hoping, hoping to see Sarah coming out of that shower. But remembering she was preggers with someone else’s baby when she visited him in the hospital I knew we wouldn’t get that lucky. Also, I think that the only reason that they are both hanging on to each other is because who else in the entire world would be able to understand what they have been through. I’m guessing that we are also going to eventually see Kate losing her marbles (like Hurley and Jack) because the island wants them back!

4. My sister thought that Jack didn’t have a scar when he wakes up (in the future shot). I truly think she just wanted me to post a shirtless Jack picture, but anyway, for the record here is a picture that you *can* clearly see the scar. You can! I swear!

5. Jack’s secretary calls to remind him of his 11:00 appointment because she knows how he is about his schedule. Meaning what? That he sucks remembering stuff? I’m guessing it’s foreshadowing for things to come.

6. I think I’m turning into one of “those” people who analyze every tattoo but in reality they’ve been there all along, they mean nothing, and they are Matthew Fox’s in real life. But … just in case, here is a screenshot of his back. I tried to enlarge but didn’t get a clear image that way.

7. Honestly, Miles has it the worst on this island. Imagine, he can hear the dead people talking are there are a lot of them. I think he’s going to be key to finding out a lot of things around here. For instance, he will be able to hear Adam and Eve back in the cave. I hope that the writers plan to use him this way. He could eventually end up being a very *reluctant* hero.

8. Another Star Wars homage? I may not know bunches about Star Wars, but I remember crying (don’t laugh) when Han Solo was frozen in the carbonite (yes, I looked it up because I couldn’t remember the substance). Anyway, these images of Danielle and Karl reminded me that imagery of Han when he was frozen.

9. “Their not my buddies man. I didn’t sign up for this.” I believe Miles. He seemed kind of whimpy when he was talking to the ghost in the grandmother’s home so I would guess he came here for the money and nothing else as well.

10. As Rose said, people on the island don’t get sick. Also, this wouldn’t be the first time that we’ve seen someone poison or try to stop someone they love from leaving the island (Sun and Walt). I still think that Juliet was up to something.

11. A couple of words on Dan. I miss having more Dan in the episodes. His character brings a lot to the show. It cracked me up when he was scolding Charlotte for her *bad attitude.* Although, I don’t agree that is the reason the survivors don’t trust them. Let’s also not forget that Dan’s constant (Desmond) is the on the freighter so I’m sure he really would like to reunite with him – making his efforts to make friends with the Losties believable.

12. This could soooo be Charlie standing there. He was always wearing that hoodie. I still think that Charlie is talking to Miles here about protecting Aaron.

13. Hurley in the hospital. First off, it made me sad. Hurley and his smile brightening everyone up back on the island but now he’s so sad. I don’t think he meant that the six were literally dead. It goes along with the irony of the title this week. There is nothing nice for them back home.

14. Jack saw his father before he went to see Hurley so the visions had already started. I think Jack also knows exactly what Charlie’s message meant and that is why he gets so upset over it. Jack knows at this point that Aaron is his nephew but I’m sure that whatever upsets him so much over being around Aaron will be shown in seasons to come. I can’t wait to hear those conversations between Hurley and Charlie. But Hurley seems so much more calm and at peace with it than Jack. I think Hurley knows what must be done. He stopped running from Charlie (ie; the past) and now he listens.

15. I love the symbolism of the shadow following Jack around here. Just like the past, get it?

16. Interesing, I didn’t catch this during the episode the first time. When Dan and Charlotte first come into the hatch he asks where all the power is coming from. Charlotte tells him to add it on to the list. What list? The list of oddities on the island? The list of information they are gathering to bring back home?

17. Geez, these guys face Old Smokey and this is all that was done to them? Keemy was the guy who killed Alex and he looks fine. What’s up with that? Was it part of Ben and Widmore’s promise not to kill each other’s people?

18. What a cool little twist that Charlotte speaks Korean. I wonder if Jin will tell Sun or if he’ll keep it a secret, like Michael keeping Sun’s secret that she spoke English. I love it that they Losties are proving to her that she has underestimated them by thinking they were so stupid.

19. “Wouldn’t you rather be dreaming about something nice back home?” Ah, sweet irony.

20. I’ve talked before when Charlie came to Hurley at Santa Rosa that it could be some manifestation created by Smokey. Now, how interesting that the SMOKE alarm is beeping right before Christian appears to Jack. Coincidence?

21. Christian sitting on the couch in those white tennis shoes. Looks like the same position he was in when Hurley saw him in Jacobs cabin.

22. Out of all the little cute crafts on the refrigerator, I found the drawing of the odd creature the most interesting (to the left of Jack). I remember my daughter making renderings of us when she was small but I don’t remember us looking like monsters.

23. Claire wakes up to her dead father holding the baby and she doesn’t scream or wake the others, she just goes with him? Something doesn’t make sense. At least the last time the Others took her they drugged her. And… on top of it she leaves Aaron behind. And look what he’s wearing. At least when Hurley saw him in the cabin he was wearing the suit he was going to be buried in. Here he’s wearing typical island gear. AND… well, I was going to ask how they know Claire has a connection to him but I guess the Others have all kinds of information about the Losties so that part isn’t that big of a surprise. I’m going to be so interested to see how this one plays out. I’m convinced at this point we don’t have enough information to speculate on all of the why’s of this situation. Yeah right, who am I kidding? We could speculate all day long but I’m not coming up with anything that good.

24. I do think that all of the “big brother” behavior towards Claire is going to be the key to why Sawyer doesn’t leave the island. He convinced her to go back to the beach so he is going to feel guilty enough to want to stay and find her. Sawyer has found his purpose. He’s said before that there is nothing for him back home. Nothing nice for him there (pun intended).

25. “Jack kissed me… blah, blah, blah, blah….” I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy for a reason Darlton.

26. I think it’s a pretty reasonable conclusion that Kate went out to Cassidy and Clemintine. I’m sure that Sawyer had some money somewhere and he asked Kate to get it and then give it to them. Awwww, how sweet. But wow Jack! Jealous much? I think it will be pretty cool if Kate and Cassidy ended up being friends. Seems like from what we’ve seen Cassidy would be a trustworthy kind-of gal to know the truth of what happened.

27. Charlie has told Hurley already that “they need him” assuming that means that he needs to go back to the island. so Charlie giving the message that Jack isn’t supposed to raise Aaron is along the same lines. Claire is supposed to raise her own baby. I don’t think that there’s going to be time when push comes to shove to get off the island to find her so the choice is going to be made that she would want Aaron saved. Now Jack will have the guilt that he needs to go back and find her so that she can raise Aaron.

28. I’m still wondering who is in that coffin? Who disturbs Jack that much that he goes to the funeral but that Kate does not? If it’s Michael then some big stuff with him is coming up.

29. I’ll say it again, the submarine is going to play a role in them getting off the island and why they can only pick six to go.
