Initial Thoughts; Lighthouse
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010More numbers. Good shots of the numbers. But who is 108??? I’m voting Desmond. He’s special.
1. First shot. Jack’s dad in a white suit, Jack and his mom in black.
2. Second picture, Jack smiling with his arm around his dad. Maybe Locke isn’t the only one in this new timeline that has resolved his “daddy issues.” Not only do they look happy, but to have a picture of his dad out? Most of us only keep pictures out of the people that we really care about, not some drunken relative that ruined our life.
3. Jack looking in the mirror. Seems to be a theme going here. Alive on the “other side” and you look at yourself in the mirror (Locke didn’t).
4. Jack suddenly discovers the appendix scar. This Jack had it taken out at 7 or 8, Original Jack had his taken out three years ago. He just now discovers the scar? I’m thinking that things on the island are somehow crossing over like Faraday talking to Desmond back in time then Desmond “remembering” it.
5. I love that Jack has a kid and I love that he’s a “good” kid. He gets his redemption with his son also. Uh oh, we know what happens to characters that find redemption (at least on the island).
6. Lots of reflections in this episode. Next scene is Jack looking at himself in the water. Jack seems to have some sort of “feeling” or intuition that there is more then just his one timeline.
7. They must be going to do more with Miles then have him play tick-tac-toe. He talks to dead people too. Maybe one for each side?
8. Hurley has become Jacob’s new Ben. I remember Ben telling Locke that he wouldn’t be able to see Jacob and was shocked when he did hear him (help me). Now Hurley is in the same position when Jack asks to see him. And Ben told Locke that it didn’t work like that when Locke insisted he take him to talk to Jacob.
9. The book David was reading “Annotated Alice’… Jack starts to talk about “Kitty and Snowdrop” who were the black and white kittens and according to Wikipedia, “At the end of the book they are associated with the Red Queen and the White Queen respectively in the looking glass world.” Ah, so many crossover themes!
10. Could anyone hear what David was listening to? Jeronimo Jackson or Driveshaft?
11. Jin hurt his “left” leg. Locke was always hurting his left leg. When Michael hurt his leg it was the left leg. Claire points to her left leg when she says she was shot. Probably doesn’t mean anything but at least they are consistent.
12. Claire knows that they left the island? If she saw the whole thing then wouldn’t she be shocked to see them back?
13. OK so Hurley, dude, THE best lines this week! Indiana Jones stuff, Obi Wan Kanobi, lying to a samari… ROTFL!
14. Dogan knows that the candidates are but Richard doesn’t?
15. Do we know why the line “you have what it takes” means so much to Jack? I’m thinking that he had conversation with his dad but not the specifics. Jack talks to David near the end and says that his dad always told him that he “didn’t have what it takes” but can there be more to this then just the obvious?
16. The doll that Claire has in the bassinet solidifies the fact that he is coo-coo for coco puffs. That was so creepy!
17. Oh yeah, and the fact that she just kills the temple guy without blinking an eye.
18. And yes, I noticed how much she and Danielle were alike. But I think Claire has a huge lead on the crazy train over Danielle.
19. I love the new crazy jungle claire too. Without the perfect hair and make up she looks pretty cool!
20. Claire’s buddy is Christian, I think she sees Christian. Jin saw Locke. He takes all sorts of forms. Who will Jack see???
21. It’s nice to see that Jack has stopped drinking back in the new time line.
22. Did you catch the “McKutcheon” whiskey at Jack’s mom’s house? I’ll get a screen shot. It’s Desmond and Widmore’s whiskey if you recall.
23. And Jack’s dad must not be too much better if he still has an illegitimate child (Claire) in the new time line.
24. Should be very interesting when Kate does reveal she’s been raising Aaron. Kate can really kick some butt and our new Claire is pretty intense. Going to be quite the showdown.
25. Shannon’s inhaler was finally found! They thought that Sawyer stole it and if memory serves he got quite a beating over that thing.
26. Did Hurley just tell us who is in the cave? Is it Rose and Bernard perhaps?
27. Was I the only one who loves seeing the caves again? Very nostalgic.
28. I think it was Jacob that led Jack to the cave. Jacob tells Hurley that Jack has to find the answers in his own way and finding the coffin was probably one of the ways to lead him there.
29. I assume that Sara is David’s mother but I guess it doesn’t have to be her. I notice that they didn’t show the “mother” in any pictures, she was “out of town” when Jack went to the house and they never say her name.
30. House key hidden in the rabbit. Another reoccuring theme – rabbits. But this bunny didn’t have any numbers on it.
31. I guess by Jack hearing his message on the answering machine for David (before he left Australia) answers the question of whether this time line started on the plane.
32. Jack came back to the island because he was broken. Jack always has to fix things! His faith brought him back because he thought the island could fix him. And it will.
33. Jack questions why they hadn’t seen the lighthouse before. Maybe it’s like the cabin that appears and disappears.
34. Remember how much Faraday wanted to play the piano but his mother wouldn’t let him because he had more important things to do? I just can’t help but think there is some connection between David and Daniel.
35. Dogan at the tryouts. Coincidence?
36. Gotta get screen shots again of those numbers. Now this looks much more like Jacob’s work (very detailed and orderly). I think Desmond is at 108 degrees.
37. How cool were the reflections in the mirrors? Will have to screen cap but I thought I also saw buildings from sun and Jin’s meeting with Jacob. Why Jack’s childhood house for him to see?
38. Someone bad is going to the temple? Could that someone be Claire?
