Finally! Sawyer got some action, but not the kind you were thinking. They have been building up to Sawyer getting his revenge and tonight was just a peek of what’s to come. I don’t want to see a shootout at the “Others” Corral, I want to see Sawyer get down and dirty with his revenge. Maybe Sayid will find them on the “long walk” he is referring to and will help Sawyer and Kate escape. Hm, this is proving so far to be a very exciting season! I can’t wait until next week! AND, Eko gets pulled underground by the monster… ugh! I can’t stand the wait!

1. Falling glass ballerina. I think this had two purposes. One was to show us Sun is so not above lying. She even knew the maid would get fired for what she did and she looked right in her dad’s face and lied. More on this to come I’m sure. Second, the fallen ballerina symbol. First she was innocent and then fell and broke, just like the statue. Sayid knew she was lying about why she was on the boat. I wonder why.

2. Sayid “was” circumnavigating the island using Danielle’s map. Does Danielle know where the Other’s camp is? She knows that the monster is a security system; maybe he should ask her what it’s for. Would Sayid have found the camp had they kept going? I can’t believe they outsmarted him when they came from the water. Back in season one they came from the water when the killed Steve/Scott, has he forgotten in 69 days? But he does tell them they have a long walk ahead, I think he is going to keep looking for Jack and co. What does he have to lose now that Shannon is dead?

3. I am still undecided which way Juliet is going to go. She seems so cold yet has a hold on Ben. He seemed actually jealous that she made soup for Jack (No soup for Ben!). My initial reaction is that Jack intrigues her because of whatever they know about him and what they want from him. But the fact that she could kill Kate without flinching shows that she has a very different side. However, if Jack stays with the others, like I suspect he will, there could be some silly little love affair they are going to develop with Juliet and Jack. (*gag, cough*)

4. Jack appears to be giving up his will to fight. More to come on this later. But the way he just sits in the corner…. is his story line about over now that he has made peace with the Sara story? I want to see him at least reunite with the Losties!

5. Ben was genuinely surprised that the Losties *had* a sailboat. He seems to be the know-it-all voyeur on the island, how could Desmond have had this boat all this time and he didn’t know it? Kelvin was restoring it even. Guess maybe that is the sign to viewers that Ben can’t know everything.

6. Again, Colleen comes up to the cages so quickly after supposedly being “underground” where Jack is being held. Makes me think that they just have him in some type of aquarium, not underwater.

7. Sun is not looking well. Now that the magnetic pull is gone (from the hatch) are we going to start seeing the medical miracles fail? Will her miracle pregnancy miscarry? Will Rose get sick again? Will Locke lose his ability to walk (of course not fellow skeptics because his was all psychological). But she could have the *sickness.*
Click to enlarge

8. OK, did Sun or didn’t she with Mr. Teacherherenglish (Lee)? I gasped at first because I didn’t want to believe that she did it, or him. Then she said she couldn’t and when he stood up he had pants on. So ha! She didn’t! Doesn’t mean she doesn’t with someone else right before she gets on the plane, but not with Lee!

9. Have you seen the movie or read the book Holes? These writers are definitely readers. In the book, these juvenile delinquent boys are brought to the middle of the desert to dig holes as punishment for whatever crime they committed. The idea is the break their spirit. I think that is exactly what is going on here. I don’t think that any of the people in the background were doing any real work, they were just props put there by the Others to appear as if there was a chain gang. But the Others want to see these two break, much like they did to Jack. Lucky for us Sawyer is so much stronger and smarter than that. I only wish he would realize there is a DAMN CAMERA watching them. OF COURSE THERE IS! But, in the book there is actually buried treasure the boys are digging for, they just don’t know it. I have said before there might be some “gold in them there hills” (maybe not gold, but it fits the phrase) and that there is mining going on here.

But what were The Others looking at under the tent? Was it blueprints? Plans for what? More houses, airstrip, a hatch perhaps?

10. So does Jin really know that Mr. Lee was trying to hook up with Sun or is he just taking his frustration at Mr. Pak out on him? I knew he wouldn’t kill the guy, didn’t he have a similar issue in an earlier episode when the guy in the white suit showed up to finish the job? Someone obviously threw Mr. Lee off the balcony and purposely onto Jin’s car.

11. Sayid says they’ve only been sailing for one day when they find the dock where Jack and co. were taken. So it can’t be that far from the camp. Why hasn’t anyone ventured out after 69 days to try and find this kind of thing? Fear my friends. Fear of the unknown, of the Others. The scary, dirty savage costumes the Others wear. The plan worked.

12. Alex asks Kate about Karl. Will Kate at some point have more conversation with her and somehow bring up Danielle? Kate knows that her daughter was taken and my guess would be that there aren’t very many female Alex’s that you will run into on this island!

13. Sun wanted Jin to run away from her father together and start a new life. Guess she got her wish. Why would she want to even go back - oh yeah, outside of the Others that kill people now and again.

14. Jin understands English better than Sun thinks, huh? Does he know about the Cluckety Cluck? Did he understand Hurley telling him that his wife was hot? What else does he know?

15. I don’t like soap operas and definitely DO NOT want to see this show lean towards daytime crapola, but I really enjoyed the scene where Sawyer just drops what he’s doing and kisses Kate and she doesn’t seem to mind. Sure, he had motives outside the kiss but come on! That was passion! My boyfriend says he dumps the water as if to say, ” I don’t need your water, I need her!”
Click to enlarge

16. Sun had a red shirt on when she was on the boat. I thought for sure she would die but I guess she hasn’t changed yet!

17. Jin yelling for the sailboat was heart wrenching, just like when Michael was calling for Walt. But overall this week he seemed like he was going back to his old jerky ways (grabbing Sun, yelling at her to obey him. Ick!)

18. New nickname for Kate: Shortcake. She tastes like strawberries. He tastes like fish biscuits so should his nickname be SeaBass?

19. I’m going to have to get into my screen caps for this one, but Ben is watching 6 screens. Looks like two views of Jack, one on Sawyer, one on Kate and maybe two on the entrance to whatever hatch they are in?
Click to enlarge

20. Benjamin Linus (?) and has been on island his whole life? Need to check this out more… must be some significance in that name.

21. Why would they send Jack home if he cooperates? Is there a home to send Jack to? What does he even have to go back to? His career, maybe. His wife and dad are gone and perhaps his reputation over the Sara/lover witch hunt that he was on last week. Will Jack want to go home or will he think that whatever is going on here is good in the name of science? Will he fall in love with Juliet (*gag, cough*)?

22. Gets me thinking we are seeing a theme here this week… did they or didn’t they infidelity. Sara and ??, Sun and Mr. Lee. Who will it be next week because it’s Locke’s flashback!

23. Reflection of Red Sox on Jack. You could just feel his pain and desire to be home. How much would you miss your life if you were here? Plus Jack’s dad told him some line about the Red Sox never winning the world series. Ironic for Jack.

24. I think that the writers were talking to us (viewers) again this week through a Jack/Ben dialog. Jack wants to know where Kate and Sawyer are and Ben gives them a short answer and says that is all he can tell him. Jack says he can tell him anything he wants and Ben responds that he can but that is all he wants to tell him right now. Then he tells Jack that he needs patience. Hmm, seems like a message to me!

25. Next week looks SO GOOD! Locke running from the monster! Eko getting taken underground! Desmond with no underpants!
Click to enlarge

26. Oh crap, they took the sailboat! Maybe now Desmond will be p-od too at The Others.

27. I’m still questioning if the *whispers* in the jungle were coming from this group of Others. Seems like they are into observing but I haven’t seen much more that that….yet!

It just wasn’t bad enough that they put Kate in this ugly dress, but now they have to go and torture her physically, too!

Initial thoughts.  Those two hours were JAM PACKED and it needs another *looksie* for more thoughts.

1.  Charlie is having serious post-traumatic issues.  He doesn’t seem to understand what happened.  He seems surprised Locke and Co. aren’t back yet when Bernard asks where they are.  He seems confused when Claire mentions the “violet sky,”  He is just way to jovial to not be in shock.

2.  Michael is going to die.  Will he come back to help his friends first?  Who knows, but there is no way that they are just going to let him go that easily.  Maybe Walt will talk him into going back for the DAMN DOG and something will happen to Michael.  It would be cool if it was set up that Sawyer ends up being a foster parent for Walt.

3.  What was Desmond in prison for?  Seems he was set up by Penny’s dad.  Mr. Widmore sure doesn’t want his daughter with Desmond.  He goes so far to send him to this experimental island?

4.  How does Penny know about the island?  I loved the last scene, it was so X-Files-esque.

5.  I don’t think that Desmond, Locke and Eko are dead.  But I sure wish someone would go check out the hatch.  Especially after the Quarantine door came flying to camp.  Hello?

6.  Sayid will go and save Jack, Kate and Sawyer.  We could see Sayid back on the boat during the *incident* and I’m sure once he hears Hurley’s story he will find a way to save them.  Plus we are talking about the 3 main characters.  They have to be saved.  But it sure would be cool to see where The Others are going to take them.

7.  What was the look between Jack and Kate right at the end?  It seems they have something in mind but by the look on Sawyer’s face he was not part of the plan.

8.  Libby so set up Desmond.  She *HAD* to be put up to giving him that boat.  Did she have a deal similar to Michael - was she trying to get someone back and had to deal to help get all of the survivors on that island in order to get her loved one back?  Plus, she really looks crappy as a red head.

9.  I don’t believe that Desmond made the plane crash.  You are telling me that the magnetic force was so powerful that it pulled down a plane from the sky, but the cans of food on the beach only fell off of the shelves?  No way.  Yes, the instruments were probably messed up and yes, the people on the plane were meant for this island, but I don’t think that Desmond’s close call with the buttons was the cause.  I think that the pilot may have made errors because of the instrument malfunction, yes.  But there are too many connections not believe they are supposed to be there.  I think that the reason *The Others* wanted the list so badly was because they needed to know who survived the crash.

10.  Desmond knows about The Others, but how?  He refers to them as “The Hostiles.”  At some point he must have left the hatch and had some sort of encounter.  Desmond just has way too much story left to tell for him to be dead. 

11.  What was up with the $42,000 reward from the boat race?  42 is one of the numbers.  Coincidence?

12.  The big bird that flies down towards Jack and co.  I had read last season during my research that the Black *Roc* is a mythological bird.  Connection?  Does it have a connection to the *monster*?

13.  The big foot on the beach.  Four toes?  Where *is* the rest of the statue?  Was it destroyed in the last *incident*?

14.  Desmond’s story is so disturbing and sad.  It’s one of those life stories that makes you look back and say, “What if…”  What if Desmond had read Penny’s letter back in prison?  Would there have been a happy ending to his love story or would he have ended up exactly in the situation he is in?

15.  We hear the whispers right before Sawyer & friends get poison darts.  We assume it’s these Others but could it have been the “good” Others warning them that the “bad” Others were coming?

16.  There is much more to discuss…. will continue since we have *all summer* to go over this one.  But I thought this had to be the best season finale I have ever seen…. 

17. Still to discuss: Kelvin, rip in his suit, volcanic rock, Rudinski (I think that was his name), fabric softner paint, stuck in a “snow globe,” Mr Widmore, Desmond in prison, more on Libby, answer to riddle, Charles Dickens, Sawyer’s comment about aliens, Sayid praying, Hanso commercial, the original incident, the Swan key, the new incident, the hole in Kelvin’s suit, the boats, the ferry, Fenry, ah, and I’m sure there is much more!

I have a theory.  In this theory Rose and Bernard have just shown us the path to the rest of this show and the ending.  Here is where I see Lost ending….

In the book “The Lost Chronicles” JJ Abrams states (and I paraphrase here from memory) that this show will end.  They will not leave us hanging (of course, unless they jump the shark and ABC decides to kill it).  We will see what happens to the survivors.

Rose does not want to leave the island.  Much like Locke, she has found her peace, her Garden of Eden if you will.  Now that Bernard knows the WHY he is also OK with never leaving this island.  The stage is now set.

Sun … she is now pregnant.  A miracle.  Will she want to leave?  Will Jin want to go knowing that he wants this family so badly, he certainly doesn’t want to go back and face Sun’s father so why not settle here?

Claire.  She was warned that Aaron should and cannot be raised by another.  We know she doesn’t get along with her mother and Thomas (baby-daddy) doesn’t want anything to do with her.  What does she have to go back to?  Add the relationship with Charlie back to the equation and neither of them will want to leave.

Eko.  Building a new life as the priest.  Knows now the fate of his brother.  Maybe he will find his life here.

Hurley.  Hello??? Libby and Darmalars.  Need I say more?

Locke.  This is a given.  He is out of the wheelchair and is The Great White Hunter (to quote Charlie).  What does he have to go back to?  Helen is gone.  His dad betrayed him.  His mom is nuts.  He will be the pride of the pack here on the island.

At this point in the story we could argue that the rest of the characters that I haven’t mentioned have plenty of reasons to return home.  But we only know some of their past.  We didn’t know even one little bit about Rose last week and now we know that she will never leave the island.  Who knows what other revelations we might encounter over the next season or so.

So here is how I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see Lost close. 

A Coast Guard ship spots the island.  The survivors see it coming.  As the boat approaches the shore the survivors are hiding in the trees, watching.  The soldiers on the boat are searching.  Maybe they see some of the remaining fuselage down the shore. 

No one is coming out from the trees.  Their hearts are beating fast, pupils dialated, palms are sweaty, yet no one moves out.  Minutes go by, maybe a soldier steps ashore.  Stillness.

Vincent comes bounding out from the trees.  He’s Sawyer’s dog now.  He is Sawyer’s companion (maybe he’s the only one who can stand him or he hasn’t isolated himself from).  Long pause.  Sawyer steps out from the trees.  Sawyer cannot stay here.  His life is the con and he craves it back.  Sawyer now looks like one of the so-called “Others” we have gotten to know.

The soldier is surprised and pulls his gun.  Sawyer puts up his hands and in his suave way calms him and explains who he is.  The soldier asks where everyone else is.  Sawyer pauses.  A long, long, thoughtful pause.  He is waiting to see if anyone else emerges.  Nothing.  Sawyer states two words, “They died.”

Soldier, Sawyer and Vincent board the Coast Guard ship.  Sawyer doesn’t look back as the boat leaves but lifts his hand in adieu.

Like any great show, we don’t have all the answers in the end.  What we are left to speculate is how the survivors who are now left behind will live their remaining days here.  Will they become the illusive “Others” to anyone else landing here?  At this point our survivors will know all the secrets of the island and may carry out many of the same actions we are now seeing from the current “Others.”  Nothing is told.  We just have to sit ….. and wonder.

THE END.

“Dude, I’m an amalgam.”

1. Dave is not real. If he were real, he would have a shadow, which he does indeed not. Unless he is a vampire then I would need to revise this idea, but since everybody knows that vampires aren’t real (duh) then he must just be a figment of Hurley’s overstuffed mind. Also, Dave’s appearances are much like those in the Sixth Sense. He walks around and talks to people, but if you watch the episode back the only two people that have any interaction with Dave are Hurley and Dr. Brooks. When they are at the basketball game Dave is yelling and waving his arms, but no one responds to him and in fact they throw the ball to Hurley. Also, don’t forget that Hurley saw the big chicken and Jin speaking English in the pantry. Hallucinations seem to be coorelated to the food.
Click picture to enlarge.

2. Libby. Let’s discuss why a “hot chick” (Hurley’s words, not mine) would like him. Is she a crazy stalker? The story about Jin seeing Hurley on the ledge (thus, how she found him) sounded pretty bogus. Plus the scary pix of her at the end watching him at the institution. Libby seems cuckoo for Hurley puffs. However, let me refer again to the idea that twins are playing somehow into the story (suggestion of Josh Holloway not mine). Yes, I can tell you are rolling your eyes at this point but bear with me. Is it possible that Libby in the loony bin is a different person that the Libby on the island, maybe her twin? The ladies will understand this, but if her hair were naturally brown (pre island) then if she colored her hair blonde (post island “do”) wouldn’t her roots have been showing by now? Unless Sawyer has some hair dye along with the pregnancy test this is a different chick.
Click picture to enlarge.

3. Isn’t it ironic that the *only* food left from the drop that wasn’t scavenged by the survivors were the fish crackers? They have to eat all that fish for months and these crackers get dropped to them. Maybe it’s a psychological thing, kind of like the last jelly donut that no one wants to eat even though nothing is wrong with it.
Click picture to enlarge.

4. OK, so check out the flowers around Hurley as he follows Dave. It’s just a weird, out-of-place item. Remember the field of flowers in the Wizard of Oz? They put them all, except the Scarecrow, to sleep. Not sure where I’m going with this but perhaps they are poppies or something with hallucinogenic properties. Thoughts? Do you think they’re just a pretty prop? A clue to viewers that he is hallucinating?
Click picture to enlarge.

5. We have the issue of the cliffs again. I’m going to do a post this summer and list of the references to cliffs over the past two seasons, but for now I just want to point it out. Seems we’ve had a few mishaps and near mishaps on the cliffs.
Click picture to enlarge.

6. Why does Hurley refer to himself as “sick?” He hasn’t seen Dave at this time and he means his food addiction. These are the words that are also on the mural, if you recall. Thoughts? Is he thinking that since his food addiction is back that he knows his “Dave” fantasy will also return?

7. Check out Dave’s hand. We think that there is something on his hand (a code, perhaps, or a cheat sheet of info to feed to Hurley?) but it also could be dirt. I wondered briefly if someone “is” on the island and it talking to Hurley, but it is not Dave. Could be someone who looks like Dave that maybe is playing the role and Hurley is projecting his visual image of Dave onto him?
Click picture to enlarge.

8. I think that the whole point of Dave telling Hurley that he is still in the institution and that all of the “events” that Hurley thinks brought him here, including the numbers, aren’t just a coincidence are the writers way of telling us, the viewers, that we are not going to find out in the end that this was all some type of dream or hallucination. I don’t think it’s a red herring at all, just them telling us to trust them that the events are “real,” or at least real in the sense a tv show is real.

9. It was weird when Dave jumped off of the cliff. He makes a splash in the water and we can see him until the end. Figures that Libby wouldn’t come up in time to see if there was a person with Hurley or not.
Click picture to enlarge.

Click picture to enlarge.

10. Hurley talks about the “accident.” Remember Widmore Construction? Wouldn’t it be interesting if they built the platform that Hurley broke? So when we meet Hurley at the hospital it had been 2 months since the accident, 23 people were on it and it was only built for 8. I’m thinking that we are also going to find out that one of the 2 people that died are somehow related to another survivor.

11. I hope that the survivors thought to take the flashing light off of the food to either use as a signal on the beach or could come in handy if another raft is built.

12. Check out this audio clip. Someone at the Fuselage recorded the sound from the jungle, right before Hurley attacks Sawyer and played it backwards. Weird!

13. Of course no one was going to help when Hurley attacked Sawyer. I think that Sawyer likes this role that he has set up for himself as the outsider, yet needed for all the “goods” he keeps.

14. To debunk a rumor going around the internet, I could not find an airplane in this picture. This is the picture that is hanging in Dr Brooks’ office (Hurley’s doctor).
Click picture to enlarge.

15. Henry. This so seems like religious symbolism. Like the image of Christ on the cross. But, if that *is* the image that the producers are sending, why? Christ was misunderstood but withstood the torture for what he believed was his purpose. Seems like shaky ground considering the conservative culture in America. But, this image does seem powerful for this character and where they are taking him (the writers, I mean).

16. Henry tells Locke that God doesn’t know the island is there any more than anyone else in the world. Can the magnetism coming from the island be blocking radar much the way it throws off a compass? Henry says this place is a joke. Could Henry be someone who has been through the stations as an experiment (like Desmond) and that this hatch is insignificant in the grander scheme? Could he be duping Locke so that he will let the timer run out to get another peek at the secret map?

17. Is it at ALL possible that pseudo Henry is HIM? Wizard of Oz clues could lead us to believe it. We are to think that there is the great and powerful Oz (aka HIM) but it turns out *just* to be a man. Henry is just so crafty at this game he is playing that you have to wonder who he really is. What was his purpose in being caught? Why is he aligning himself with Locke? Why didn’t he leave when he had the chance? What was he really up to when the hatch went dark.

18. The note on the $20 bill. Seems like Sayid really got him with this one. However, maybe not. Maybe Henry and The Others figured that the search party from the survivors would dig him up and this item is just a red herring to them. Or maybe it is meant to throw them off what is really going on there. Seems like nothing on this show turns out to just simply be “what it is” on the surface.
Click either picture to enlarge.

19. Once Michael shows back up (yes, he IS coming back…see my Upcoming Episodes page), could he possibly fix the real Henry’s balloon to get off of the island? Michael is the construction guy and if he gets Walt back he is for sure, 100%, going to want to run like crazy.

20. How did Henry know who the “bearded man” was? When Locke comes into the armory to chat he asks if the bearded man is HIM. Henry responds by telling Locke that he is “no one.” So how does Henry know who Locke is even talking about if he isn’t part of Zeke’s group?

21. Libby says to Hurley on the beach that “it’s like the island doesn’t want you to lose weight.” What a strange thing to say, very Locke-esque.

22. Santa Rosa is the same mental institution that Locke’s mom was in. We learned this when Locke hired the private investigator.

23. I was happy that the producers answered the question about why they never showed the caves anymore. Seems according to Hurley that no one lives there anymore.

24. What is Eko building? You can take this for whatever you would like. Read the diary entries from the ABC website, but I have read that whoever writes these (in real life) is not affiliated with the writers of the show so I don’t know if this is real or not, but since it *is* at ABC’s website so it may also be right on.

26. One more thing, another Desmond throw back. Right before Dave jumps off the cliff he tells Hurley “See you in another life.” This is the same thing Desmond said to Jack when they met on the stairs back in The States.

1. Did you know that you can’t play the trumpet in Korea? Check out the sign in the distance:

2. So, the big news, Sun is expecting. Like we didn’t have enough to speculate about already, now we have *even more!* If Jin is truly sterile, here are our possibilities for daddy material:

a. Arificial insemination. Maybe after Dr. What’s His Face told Sun that Jin was the problem, she decided that they needed a baby so that he could stop working for her dad. Or maybe she saw this as an opportunity before she left him so that she could move to the States and raise baby on her own.

b. Mr. Teachherenglish a.k.a Jae Lee. They did leave us hanging in the last flashback when he asks her why she is there in the hotel room with him. Sun gets that look, you know the one, in her eyes.

c. The Others, Hanso, or the DeGroots. Remember that Claire was supposed to be on the pill and she got pregnant. Who knows who else may end up preggers. Hope Sawyer has extra tests! Maybe they are trying to breed super immune babies.

d. Simply put … Jin. Maybe it truly is a *miracle* and that is all there is to it. Sun and Jin are both in a more relaxed environment and it is not unheard of that someone who thought they could not conceive ends up pregnant.

3. Kate took a pregnancy test? Maybe during her brief marriage to Tom. What were the results, where is the baby?

4. It’s probably just a red herring, but Locke told Ana that she was running like the devil was chasing her. Almost the same phrase Desmond used when he met Jack on the bleachers. Coincidence? How often do *you* hear that phrase in every day conversation?

5. Why does Locke come to Ana to extract “the truth” from Henry? I think he does it purposely in this game he is playing with Jack. He tells Ana that it is because she is the most qualified to tell if Henry is being truthful. Sure he does. I think that Locke would trust Sayid much more over Ana, especially since she has only been with them for one week. OK Locke in the bathroom the same time as Jack? That is just too Brokeback Mountain for the general viewing public.

6. So how does Rose know it is Saturday? I thought it was sweet that they were arguing on the beach because he forgot her birthday. Who on earth would be able to keep track like that? Apparently Rose knows time much like she knew Bernard wasn’t dead.

7. OK, so could Sawyer pull off a con in these glasses? Sexy.

… and his reading material has left alot to be desired:

8. Does anyone on the island know the story of the Wizard of Oz? First, we have Henry GALE who flies his BALLOON across the ocean. Now he says he buried his wife under the balloon because it was the closest thing to HOME that they had. Get a clue!

9. The pregnancy test that Sun has was from Widmore Labs. Henry’s construction co. was Widmore. Connection… YES! Maybe Widmore is an anagram? More importantly, who the HECK carries a pregnancy test on the plane? Were these planted in the wreckage by the Others? Did Sawyer go back to the medical hatch where Claire was taken and ransack the place?

10. I just loved the scene where Hurley walks up on Sun in the jungle. BUSTED!

11. What are Charlie and Sayid working on? Charlie said to Sayid something regarding the pole was awfully long for a table and Sayid responded that they would cut it in half. Looks like some sort of building?

12. Are Sayid or Ana wondering where Charlie got the gun? Why doesn’t anyone here ask questions? “Gee Charlie, I thought that Sawyer had all the guns secured. How did you get one?”

13. So Jack tells Sun that he advises her to tell Jin the truth, the Whole Truth but then proceeds to tell Kate that “everything is fine.” OK, so why isn’t anyone else taking shifts in the hatch? If only Jack and Locke essentially know about Henry (take out the Sayid and Ana incidents) wouldn’t Sawyer, Kate, or anyone who had signed up to press the button know that Henry was in the hatch?

14. OK so it starts to rain when Sayid and co. wake up the next day in the jungle. All of the experiences on the island where it started raining have not ended with a rainbow. Next week looks like trouble as Ana and Charlie are standing below the balloon and we see only Sayid back in the hatch pulling a gun on someone. Remember Henry’s little ambush speech? Oh, he is going to so suffer if this does happen.

15. Notice Sun was wearing a red shirt last episode. This has also not turned out to be a good omen for whoever was wearing the shirt.

16. Didn’t Locke say last season that the island giveth and the island taketh away when Boone died and Aaron was born? So if Sun is indeed pregnant then what or who will be taken?

17. Why did the producers play Sawyer and Bernard backwards when Jin was there and they were discussing Sun’s pregnancy? Obviously they were trying to convey that Jin could not understand but remember that the “whispers” in the jungle are backwards also.

18. Someone on one of the boards pointed out that about 2 months passes each season. So this would mean that Sun would be preggers for six seasons? Either timelines are going to be sped up, she is going to be further along than we speculate, or something tragic has to happen.

19. I thought in the beginning of the season when they found the pantry full of food that Hurley agreed with Jack to divy the food out to everyone? So why did Locke tell Henry that the pantry is full? And how fair is it that Locke and Jack are eating cereal and the rest of the survivors only have fruit and maybe some boar?

And what about the mysterious code on the box:(9)FFTR731?

20. I wasn’t sure what, if anything, was being implied with the reflections of Sun. Check it out:

21.  Check it out, Locke is listening to Jeronimo Jackson!

22. So Claire and the gang are back from the medical hatch. Did anyone ask where they were? Did Claire and company think that maybe it was important to mention to a DOCTOR that there is a MEDICAL hatch here on the island (I’m thinking that the operating room could come in handy now and then). And shouldn’t they be going back again to scour the place for goods? What about the disguises Kate found? Couldn’t they use the lockers or things potentially inside for their camp?

Episode hasn’t aired yet so can’t say this is the WHOLE TRUTH… BUT since it’s become my new business to speculate, wanted to put a few things down on, err, cyber paper.

Check out this link.  It is a promo for Wed. that I had not seen yet.

Whole Truth Promo Clip

OK, so we see Jack tell (someone) that she must tell *him* the whole truth.  Who, Sun and Jin? What truth?  Is she pregnant?  We also see alot of Ana Lucia running on the beach (thinking David Hasselhoff, yikes!).  But I found it interesting that Sun is hiding something behind her back, playing keep away (was that Sawyer) and then Sawyer says that he is “intrigued.” 

Then, I found another trailer for this week:

Whole Truth: Trailer #2

Jin comes to Sawyer for a pregnancy test.  Lots of interesting things also going on with Henry.

Check out this summary of Yunjin Kim’s (Sun)appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, then we’ll discuss:

From Yunjin Kim’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel: Hurley will get into a fight with someone, and if Sun is pregnant, her baby’s paternity will be a question. They also showed a clip from Wednesday’s episode that involved Sun and Jin arguing over Sun working in her garden. Jin doesn’t want her to get taken again, and Sun tells Jin that she doesn’t need his protection, prompting him to tear up her garden and say, “Now you have no need to be out here.” (The possible return of old-school Jin?) Plus, a new promo aired that had Charlie saying “You murdered someone” (not sure to whom, but possibly Ana-Lucia).

 So I’m wondering if these two find out in the flashbacks that Jin is sterile.  They could have pursued fertility, etc… so I’m thinking it is entirely possible that Sun was preggers before they landed on the island.  After two months lots of women do not show.

But, I want to remind you that back in Season One in Raised By Another, Thomas and Claire are arguing and he accuses her of getting pregnant on purpose, even though she was on the pill.  What I am saying is that maybe Claire and Sun are *supposed* to be pregnant.  Maybe somehow Hanso is delving into some type of fetal research by inseminating women with a fetus that has been genetically designed to be immune to the *sickness.*

OK, so if that is a little too X-Files for your taste, could she have been messing with another trying to get pregnant, knowing that she was leaving Jin anyway?

1. What Kate Did? What did she do? She blew up her dad. No Wait! It’s her step dad. No Wait! It’s her dad again. Geesh. I’m still not convinced that we know if Wayne was her dad or the army guy or heck, mom was pretty crazy back in the 60’s, maybe Locke’s dad has a connection here (tee hee hee)
2. Anyway, if Kate’s “only” crime (I say that lightly) was that she blew up some drunk, crazy guy in a trailer, then why send out a US Marshall, no, multiple US Marshal’s for the girl? Wouldn’t the local cops be after her instead? Think about this logically. If some kid blew up their dad here in Ft. Fun would they call in the Feds or would they send the local police to find her? There could be many reasons for this and it either implies that Kate has done more than just this one crime OR Wayne was way more than just “some drunk.”
3. Flash Forward NEW THEORY! Reading online has sparked a new theory. What if the plane crash is something that happens in the future? Kind of like Claire seeing the psychic and being told her future. The flash backs are all actually happening right now! That means that the whole plane crash is a FLASH FORWARD! Look at the clothes that Kate wore. Very modern. Someone online went as far as to tell who the designer of Kate’s shirt and pants were and they are very modern.
4. Some random thoughts- Kate tells Sawyer/Wayne that she is not good. Goodwin told Ana Lucia that they chose who to take because they are good. Are the middies (original survivors) all not good and that is why they aren’t taken?
5. So flash back (haha) to the beginning of the episode. Hurley gives the big thumbs up to Jin for shagging his wife. We see Sun look over at Sayid and he is digging. BUT look at where Sayid is digging. I pointed this out last night to (my) Scott and we looked later when Kate is sitting by the graves and it is not the same spot. Plus, why oh why would you dig graves RIGHT NEXT to where people are bunking (and other things, wink wink)? So I wonder what he was digging there?
6. A Ghost In The Machine. Popular term for the soul in the body. There were references to ghosts in this epi (Kate asks Sayid if he believes in ghosts). But, I think that this goes hand and hand with the whole transference issue that was brought into play. You put the ghost in the machine, you transfer to that person. Here’s how it ties to Lost: Kate transferred Wayne into Sawyer. Wayne was the “ghost” in Sawyer. I do not believe that the horse represented Wayne. Kate looked at the horse much like Locke looks at the monster. I believe that we don’t know yet who or what the horse represents to her, but I would say its safety since the horse saved her from the Marshall (car accident). Sawyer transferred his guilt over his crime to the boar. Locke seems to be transferring his (whatever) to the monster (handicap, anger at his dad?). Jack cutting the wood. Jack saving Boone (we don’t know the why of that yet, maybe something with Sara?). Look at Charlie and Aaron. Is there something there?
7. I think that the computer chat and Michael also has something to do with this ghost in the machine. I’m not saying that Michael is seeing things, neither was Kate, Shannon or Sayid. But he is so desperate to find Walt that he is going to believe that Walt is there. I personally do not think that it is Walt typing. No way. Yes, the kid keeps making appearances, but I would imagine that the “others” that had Desmond in the hatch also had some type of video surveillance on him. The “others” know that Walt belongs to Michael so maybe they are messing with him. Mean? Yes, very. But they made the plane crash, stole the children all showing us that they are not very nice people!
8. Speaking of Michael …. I said to (my) Scott last night, “How does Michael know about computers?” This guy was supposed to be an artist. So, he knows about computers, blast doors, building rafts, etc… Is he going to be the McGuyver of the island?
9. Not talking to the outside on the computer. Remember when Desmond asked Locke “Are you him?” Then the joke about the snowman? I think that Desmond was chatting with someone and that is why he wondered if Locke was Him.
10. Video splice. These two pieces so don’t fit together. If you pull up screen shots from the two different tapes it becomes clear. Yes, the subject is the same but the dr. is not. His hair, lapel, tie and the lighting are different. These are very subtle differences, which leads me to believe that whoever shot this video had to go back and shoot it again and change that part. Who knows what the original video said. And who would splice all that stuff out anyway? Why was that part of the video in the hatch.
11. Next episode is Merged. This is where we are to see island flashbacks, before the survivors of 815 where there. I wonder who we will see there?
12. The Hunting Party. Interesting title. I found online that there is a 1971 western movie of the same title (this is real life we are talking about now- haha!). In the movie a man goes around killing out of revenge for his wife’s abduction. Interestingly, this epi. is Jack centric. Clue?
13. BTW, there is talk that there isn’t another new epi until January! Can this be true! I thought it was in two to three weeks!
14… 3 appearances of the horse, 23 seconds left when Locke gets in the hatch after Kate left. Pix of Sam Austen in Vietnam 4 mths before Kate was born. Kate was five when parents divorced. Kate is 24. Horse appeared 3 times. Numbers at 51 when “Walt” appears. 3 graves.
15. Rose. Remember in the 1st season when Rose hears the monster and she says it sounds familiar? Someone laughs and asks her where she is from and she says the Bronx? The subway maybe makes the same sound? UNDERGROUND!!?? Obviously the “others” are milling around underground.
16. The monster, the rain, the caves, the others, Them, Danielle, Desmond’s escape, the tower, the cord into the water, the shark, the others on the boat, gas, Jack’s dad, what is the monster protecting?, the black rock, soooo many more items that haven’t even been touched or have been forgotten, for now. Hopefully, we all won’t be watching this show in another season or so and be in for a huge disappointment when they put this all together. I think this all goes back to our imaginations, though. Just like the survivors think they are seeing a monster and it’s really just a machine, sometimes you think there is a monster in your closet that ends up just being a coat. Being deserted like that would probably make you pretty speculative.
17. I missed Sawyer on the island. I think that his dialog is just so funny! He cracked me up when he saw the horse. Too hilarious!
