I really wanted a two hour episode tonight.  It was so good.  This season has been spectacular so far.  Can you imagine if we had to put up with re-runs while they are building this momentum?  I, for one, am willing to wait the extra time if we don’t have to suffer through re-runs.

1.  Opening on Sun’s eyes.  We haven’t seen the opening on an eye yet this season.

2.  Is Sun planning on kidnapping Aaron?  Why would she tell Ji Yeon she met a new friend for her in America unless she was planning on them meeting soon?

3.  You can hear the numbers on the walkie talkie that Robert has.  I’m wondering if it was Lenny talking… before he left the island.

4.  Cute, the (blonde, jerky crew member ) says, “Next you’ll be talking about submarines…”

5.  Jin seems moved watching how Robert treats pregnant Danielle.  His heart must be breaking knowing that his wife left preggers.

6.   Finally, we get to see a little bit of The Temple…. and Smokey lives there!  Did you catch the hieroglyphs on the side, just like what was on the counter in the hatch right before it blew up?  I wanted to see what was there, darn time shifts.  I can’t wait to screencap Smokey this week.  And Robert wants to go down the hole to help since they don’t leave anyone behind.  Sounds like another hero we know, Jack.

7.  Next Jin comes across Danielle and her crew, mostly dead.  And Robert wants to kill Danielle!  Almost like he was dead and Smokey took over his body.  Like Yemi when he meets Eko way back when.  I’m not so sure now that it was the time travel sickness that takes over Danielle’s crew.  Robert wasn’t acting like he was brain fried, he seemed possessed.  Danielle seems to think that he was “infected” when he chased Smokey down the hole.

8.  Jin finds Danielle by following the smoke.  Remember that Danielle was following the smoke when she kidnapped Claire’s baby and was taking him to the Others?  There *has* to be a connection.

9.  And why does the Temple need a security system?

10.   It was cool to see that Sawyer was so happy to see Jin.  Genuine happiness out of Sawyer!  Thank goodness someone gets to explain to Jin what is going on.

11.  Finally, someone seems confused why Locke would want to bring someone back.  Jin doesn’t want Sun back there.

12.  Ben tells Sun that he just needs 30 minutes and he can prove Jin is alive.  How is Eloise going to prove it to her?  I doubt the ring alone will convince her.  Why would she just take Ben’s word for it?  And if Locke wakes up he’ll tell her that Jin is dead since that was his promise and we know that Locke is a man of his word!

13. Charlotte was talking and acting like Teresa (the woman back in England who’s brain was fried by Daniel first).  She was popping in and out of time and different ages.  I like that we know that she was there before and why she was so adamant about getting back.  But I was really surprised they killed her off.  I think we know that Dan must travel back and tell her not to come back.  But he’s breaking one of the “rules” by doing this.  Love sure has a funny way of making you do crazy things.

14. Seems Charlotte is a fan of the Jeronimo Jackson.

15.  Dan says that as far as bringing the O6 back that is where they leave science behind.  Meaning?  Meaning that they don’t have to bring them back?

16.  NO! Sawyer has a nosebleed!

17.  Charlotte also knows that the well is by The Orchid station.  Maybe when she was a kid she spent some time there.

18.  Shouldn’t they have left Dan with some type of protection, like a gun?  They’ve seen how the Hostiles can be so they really should have given his something.  And where are Rose, Bernard and Vincent?

19.  Locke descending down the well was interesting imagery.  At first I was thinking of when they were lowering Kate down the hatch but my sister pointed out it was like a birth canal.  Maybe also like death… you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

20.   Juliet thanks Locke “if whatever you’re attempting to do works.”  We have been too trusting of her.  She knows stuff.  She was an Other.  I think we’ll be seeing more of what little miss Juliet knows in the coming epis.

21.  If they don’t bury Charlotte will Smokey be able to move her around like the other dead people from the island?

22.  I think we see now that whatever they are holding they take with them when they travel.  Sawyer is still holding the rope when Locke is going down the well and the time changes.

23.   I don’t think Christian is Jacob.  I think Jacob somehow embodies him or can take over any dead body that isn’t buried on the island.  But he does know about Jack when he tells Locke to tell his son he said hello.  Christian/Jacob can’t help Locke up so I assume that’s because he’s not physically there, but not sure yet how that works.  Projecting somehow perhaps?
24.  Why does Locke have to die to turn the wheel and why is he always hurting his legs?  Ben didn’t die when he turned it.  And Christian/Jacob seemed pretty perturbed that it wasn’t Locke that turned the wheel.  Locke does take shortcuts though, like when he let Sawyer kill his dad for him.  But, if Christian/Jacob wanted Locke to turn the wheel, I think somehow Ben knew this but did it himself for another reason.  Remember, Ben always has a plan!

25.   Ben actually looks surprised when Desmond shows up and says he’s looking for Dan’s mom.  I don’t think he knew!  Or, he never thought anyone would else would figure that piece out.

26.  I don’t think Eloise is really OK with just the two of the O6 there.  She probably will send her other people to help round them up.

27.  Wouldn’t Desmond just be absolutely freaked out seeing Elosie?  He HAS to remember that she’s the one that sent him to the island and taught him about course correction.

28.  I saw Jack jumping in the water in next week’s epi so we know at least he is there.

Who is The Little Prince in the show? On first glance I thought it was Aaron. But then I went and read the book online and I’m thinking now that it’s Locke. You have a young boy who leaves his star and goes on an adventure to 6 different stars, including landing on Earth. While there, he discovers that even though it’s small, he wants to go back to his star, B-612, but the only way to get home is to be “killed” by the snake. But, he doesn’t really die, just has to leave behind the empty shell that is his body. You can read the story here.

1. Is it right that Kate keeps Aaron? If Kate knows that Claire was flying to LA to give him up for adoption then I’m sure Claire told her other personal things like about her mother. Sure, Kate probably thought mom was in a coma until they met at the funeral home, but was she OK just to keep him without a word to anyone? I understand that she probably has an emotional connection to him relating to the island and the loss of Sawyer, but I’m not convinced that Kate did the right thing by lying about being his mother. She doesn’t even know if Claire is alive so maybe her redemption should come by going back to the island to give him back to Claire.

2. Sun says, “Don’t worry about us Kate. There’s candy and a mini-bar and 100 channels on TV.” Geesh, what’s she going to get him from the mini-bar?

3. Sun’s report on Ben doesn’t seem to say too much. Looks like he went to the mailbox a lot.

4. A couple of thoughts on Sawyer. I’m loving all the screen time so far this season. I also really like the way a calm Juliet plays against the irritated Sawyer. And he listens to her! She tells him to go away and he does. He must trust her because later her tells her about seeing Kate.
Click to enlarge

5. If you recall, originally Jack was going to be killed by the smoke monster and Kate was going to become the leader of the Losties. However, it seems like her character development has been to a whiney, whimpy woman. What happened to the outlaw, tough chick from season one who could use a sewing kit to close Jack’s wound? The Kate that robbed banks and killed her step-father for being a jerk? Now she believes things at face value and is always on the edge of a good cry. Geesh, let the chick have her cry and bring back the Kate from season one! Can you imagine if this lawyer would have come to her back then? Tough checks aren’t scared of attorneys!
Post Island Makeover. Not a fan.

Island Kate. Much better.

6. Are they purposely making her eyes look this scary? Wow!
Click to enlarge

7. I don’t remember Locke’s light being that bright from the hatch. And why wouldn’t the Losties, any of them, noticed this beam?
Click to enlarge

8. I’ve discussed my thoughts on Sawyer seeing Kate and Claire in my initial thoughts, but I wanted another excuse to post a screencap of him… OK, OK, the look on his face is very touching as well.
Click to enlarge

9. This water *has* to be from after the O6 come back to the island. But it does beg the question “where are they?” Where are the Losites and the O6? Guess we’ll eventually see!
Click to enlarge

10. I couldn’t get a good shot of the boat that chases the Losties but I’m sure when they shot and edited the episode that is what they intended. Our choices of who they are: O6, Other Others, Richard & the Others, Rose and Bernard?
Click to enlarge

11. This was not my catch but apparently “Canton-Rainier” is an anagram for “reincarnation.” Ironic considering Locke’s dead body is in that van.
Click to enlarge

12. Apparently, this box reads “612″ like the Little Prince’s star!
Click to enlarge

13. I think we know why Danielle didn’t get *the sickness.* She is hanging on to her music box here. If you recall, it was very important to her and Sayid fixed it in Season One while she held him captive.
Click to enlarge

14.  Wow is Jin in for a big shock when he starts time jumping!  First he meets young Danielle, then she just disappears in front of his eyes.
15.   Is Ji Yeon going to be allowed to return to the island?  She’s not considered one of the O6 so will the *island* allow her?

See my initial thoughts here.

I didn’t watch the pop ups again. I figure as much time as I spend blogging, maybe someone out there will be kind enough to share if there is something I miss???

1. Was it just my tv or was the sound “off” this week? Last week the color was weird and this week the sound was off. I’m hoping it’s just a technical glitch.

2. Why does Kate want to keep Aaron… possibly a surrogate in her heart for the losses she had. Her losses including Sawyer perhaps? I think Kate would feel a overall loss leaving behind her “friends” on the island, but a deeper sense of loss as she obviously had feelings for him that were pretty intense. I’m also wondering if she lost a baby in her past. She should have renamed him “Tom” and bought him a toy airplane.

3. Locke asks Sawyer if he does want Kate to come back. My question is why Sawyer wouldn’t also want to find the way OFF the island to GO and see her? Why would they want the six to come back? Why wouldn’t they want to leave and go be with them? That is what I’d be asking for, at least.4. I think it’s time that they show us where Rose and Bernard and anyone else left alive from the Losties have been. There seemed to be quite a few on the beach and now we are down to three Losties and three Freighter-ies. Seems like the three Losties are fine though and it’s the Freighter gang that’s getting the nose bleeds (and Juliet, but she’s not a Lostie).

5. Sayid is always fighting with someone. I suppose that Ben addresses them in the way they live, but wouldn’t Sayid wonder why these guys just shoot darts at him and don’t kill him?

6. I think that the scene where Kate is helping Claire deliver the baby is very moving to Sawyer because he misses her and remember how happy he was when he found out that she wasn’t pregnant by him. Lots of regret there, I’m sure.

7. The time jumps that they are having on the island seem more and more to be purposeful moments and not random at all. Like how you see your life flash before your eyes before you die or how the ghosts took Ebenezer Scrooge to poignant moments in his life. Locke hops back and tells Richard about this birth, setting up a chain of events to prove he’s special. Richard happens to be there when Locke is shot. Locke sees the light from the hatch which reminds him that he had to suffer to get where he is and therefore he doesn’t want to change any of the events that are happening.  Like Sawyer asks him if he wants to go and warn himself not to make stupid choices and Locke does not want to.
8. Saywer keeps mentioning that beer.

9.  Aija Airlines.  Another crash or could it be how the O6 get back to the island and we’re seeing after they get back.  Maybe we are seeing the Losties ON the island, in the future, AFTER the O6 get back.  Maybe the O6 are shooting at the Losites in the boat not realizing who they are shooting at.  Or…
10.  OTHER Others shooting at the Losties in the boat.  We haven’t seen Richard’s group for awhile plus I’ve thought all along there was another set of Others we haven’t been introduced to yet.
11.   Another Foreest Gump moment.  First Kate says they are going “on vacation” then Sawyer has a Leuitenant Dan moment thanking God for the rain.  Will Sayer end up having his Come To God moment too?  Anyone who’s seen the movie will understand.
12.   Jack must fix something.  Wants to fix Kate’s situation.

13.  That was Danielle’s group in the raft that finds Jin.  And YEAH! Jin is alive!  Another purposeful moment to skip to.
14.   Could Jin be floating in the water for two days and live?  Do we even know how long since the O6 left the island?  And what are they eating to stay alive?

15.   Looks like next week he tells her that Jin is alive but of course in true Ben fashion he’s going to somehow use Jin as bait to get her back to the island.  Now, about Hurley… since the only one truly OK with going back is Jack, he’s going to need to use something fantastic to get Hurley to agree.

16.  The Losties flash forward and find the camp.  Vincent’s collar is there.  Who has been living there with Vincent?  Wouldn’t Vincent be time flopping around with them?

1. “Love” the irony in the opening scene. Looked eerily similar to the opening with Desmond in the hatch. Then the record player skipping, like now time is skipping.

2. The clock showed 8:14 but alarm didn’t go off until 8:15. I thought it meant they were going to go ahead in time.

3. So, Dan was on the island before the hatch was built or was it some type of time travel that he was there when they were drilling? It would explain how his brains got scrambled (remember when we first met Dan he was crying over the plane crash but didn’t know why). He was probably messing around with the “energy” on the island and cooked his brains. He would no longer be of use to them and that could be why they let him go home and why they wanted him to go back. Also, seems like now we see that Dan has a prior connection to island, we think Charlotte does and my guess is we will find out what …. ’s is too. That is why they chose those three to go on the mission back to the island on the freighter.

4. I’m wondering why they were drilling underground to begin with. Maybe to somehow get closer to the energy? Also, I wonder if they somehow “unleashed” the smoke monster when they were drilling around the island.

5. It was raining on Locke when he first “wakes up” after the time shift. Rain has always signaled weird things on the island.

6. Lots of Rose and Bernard this time around. Lots of shirtless Sawyer too. I found it funny that Sawyer is on a mission to get a shirt. Kind of a “shout out” to the viewers like me.

7. Kate should be good at running from the lawyers, it’s what she does best. I need to think on who would hire attorney’s to question her paternity. My first thoughts are that Ben has hired people to come after the six in order to “persuade” them or give them reason to join together and to want to go back to the island. Sun will be the hardest. Maybe show her that Jin is alive and that will stop her from wanting to kill Ben and want to get back to the island.

8. I think that Locke may be the “him” that Desmond referred to when we first met him. If you recall, he asked Jack fi “he” sent him. Since Locke is floating through time maybe he somehow meets up with Desmond and tells him that someone will come to relieve him. Remember the snowman joke?

9. Dan tells Desmond that he’s “extra” special. Why? Or is he just extra special because he’s Dan’s constant? I know Desmond can see the future but maybe there’s more that we’re about to see. Maybe it’s Desmond that is going to stop the time from slipping all around, but must be through Dan’s mother. Why else would Desmond need to go see her?

10. I was thinking back to Desmond’s flash where he saw Claire and the baby getting on a helicopter and getting off of the island. Since we have been told many times that you can’t change events, then this must be the end when they all get saved. Desmond told Charlie that through his sacrifice they would all be saved.

11. Do they all need constants now? Why can’t they be each other’s constants?

12. Sayid can kick some serious butt.

13. So how did Richard find Locke after he was shot by Ethan? How could he possibly know on the island where Locke would be or that he was shot. It’s possible that Richard heard Ethan come back and tell the story, but then how would Richard be able to calculate “when” to find Locke? I’m sure we’ll get the answer but it’s still interesting to ponder how he does it. And didn’t Richard offer Locke the compass when he was little boy and he didn’t take it?

14. Although Hurley said he wouldn’t help Sayid, he’s too sweet not to help him when he needed it.

15. It was kind of sad that Ana Lucia told Hurley that Libby said hi.

16. It was also a funny moment when Hurley puts the glasses on Sayid.

17. Anyone get a look at what Ben took out of the heating vent at the hotel and hid in his bag?

18. NO! Hurley’s dad was watching Expose… the show Barbie was on. Ugh.

19. I think it’s safe to guess that the slipping around in time is what drove Danielle’s people crazy and will start to affect those on the island. Frogurt was showing signs.

20. I love Hurley’s family. They get the best scenes.

21. Did you notice Sun in the red shirt when she is talking to Kate? I don’t think it means her death, but the death of others.

22. Hurley had the best line, to his mom, “… and pushing the button every 108 minutes or… I was never really clear on that.”

23. Yes! It was great to see Locke. He’s going to start bang-a-rangin’ this time travel I think. He’s a go with the flow guy.

24. So 70 hours to round them up and get back. I guess they will be going back this season. yeah!

25. The lady Ben talks to in the last scene is the woman who sold Des the ring for Penny and told him he had to go back to the island.

26. Vincent is back!

Will get this one screen capped. More to come!

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!
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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!
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.
click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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

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?
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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

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?
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.
Click to enlarge

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.

1. If they had to dump supplies out of the helicopter to reduce the weight load, not to be rude, but how in the world are Hurley and five others going to get into the helicopter and off the island? There must be another way.

2. Cute with all the daddy issues over the past three seasons that Mr. Friendly tells Juliet that after a week with Harper she’ll have you crying about your daddy.

3. I must be deaf because I can’t ever understand what the whispers say. I think I heard Juliet but I don’t know for sure. Then Jack heard them too. I don’t remember him hearing them before. Probably freaked him out pretty good! I was just waiting for the black smoke… which they say will reappear in the next couple of episodes.

4. The Tempest. Appropriate name. Play about people stranded on an island and a spirit trapped in a tree (jacob).

5. Remember that there was an “incident” once on the island? Could it be possible that the gas was released before (and not when Ben killed off Dharma)? It would explain why the hatch was quarantined (couldn’t leave to the poison air), why they originally had gas masks and perhaps whatever poison was in the gas has something to do with women not being able to conceive on the island.

6. I thought it was hilarious that Ben asks Locke if the rabbit happened to have a number on it.

7. Juliet is the other woman in more ways than one.

8. I figured since Locke had Ben trapped in his own house, Ben knew ways to communicate and probably even leave if he wanted to. Duh Locke!

9. The picture on the wall in front of Ben’s safe looked like the place where Rose met her healer, Isaac of Uluru.

10. I can’t believe that Locke didn’t question Ben seven ways from Sunday about how he got the secret video of Mr Widmore. And if Widmore is so bad then why does Ben have the tape locked in a safe? Could this be another reason to believe (as viewers) that Mr Widmore isn’t the bad guy? If Charlotte and Daniel are really there to make the chemicals inert, then maybe he’s trying to stop Ben from killing Desmond. Maybe Widmore is dying and knows that the island has healing powers and he wants to get there himself. We know one thing for certain, you cannot trust Ben.

11. I’m interested to see screencaps of the secret video and see if we can tell who Widmore has blindfolded.

12. Doesn’t Locke wonder why someone was secretly taping Widmore? And doesn’t he wonder how, on the island, that Ben got a copy from the outside world? And why even make the video?

13. I liked that Juliet mentioned the kids that they took from the tailsection survivors. I know I was wondering about them.

14. Girl fight! Juliet versus Charlotte. I wouldn’t mess with Juliet, but we haven’t seen yet what Charlotte can do.

15. Yes! If Daniel ends up *really* being a good decent guy then maybe they will keep the character on the show. Last week in the podcast Darlton acknowledged that they knew the fans really liked Daniel. Please keep him!

16. What a sick-o … Ben taking Juliet to the dead body of Goodwin with the flies buzzing around his body. That man is evil.

17. So I guess we know that Ben wants to kill Jack but we’ve seen flash forwards so we know he at least makes it a little while off of the island. But we also know that Ben has a double life off of the island.

18. Claire asks to see Miles. I’m worried that she’s going to get hurt trying to talk to him.

19. It appears that Ben is keeping the gasses on the island just in case he ever needs to wipe out another population. Why else keep them around? Why does any government keep dangerous chemical warfare knowing it could get in the wrong hands.

The Looking Glass was the portal to another world. I think this is figurative, like the magic box on the island. *WE* the viewers got to step through the looking glass to see the future. Those crazy writers!

1. We have a major answer this episode. Yes, they are rescued.

2. Now the major new question… who was the newspaper article about? My knee jerk reaction was Michael. But there are so many other really good possibilities:

A) Sawyer. No one likes him. No one liked him before. Why would anyone come to his funeral? Maybe the Sawyer we saw on the island is the Sawyer that went home. Bitter. Pushes Kate away. Why would she go to the funeral? Maybe the *him* that is at home waiting is her baby. Sawyer is the dad so Jack thinks she would go, but Sawyer pushed and Kate didn’t come back.

B) Juliet. Did she have any friends at home? Being the dedicated scientist that she was I would assume that she didn’t get out much. Maybe her sister was dead. Lots of things could have broken Jack and Juliet up back on land (like his incessant need to ride on airplanes) and he feels remorse for abandoning Juliet. He handles the relationship much like he did with his wife. Maybe Juliet killed herself. Why would Kate go to her funeral?

C) Locke. Maybe Jack forces a rescue even though Locke wants to stay. Locke jumps out of a window (this time not making it out alive) and Jack feels guilty for *saving* him from the island only for Locke die.

D) Same for Ben. He wanted to stay on the island but Jack thinks he knows what they need and forces Ben to go back to land.

E) Bernard. They are rescued. Rose’s cancer comes back and she dies. He kills himself with grief.

3. Whoever it is would have to make such an impact on an already depressed Jack that he decides he doesn’t want to live anymore by jumping off the bridge. Could it be that only Kate and Jack got off of the island (and whoever is in the coffin) and that is why Jack is so distraught?

4. Bernard is not Rambo. He’s a blabbermouth! However…. do the writers want us mad at Bernard so we will forgive them for keeping he and Rose off the show for so long? Does the tactic of telling all to prevent your highjacker from killing someone ever work anyway? And will Rose go Rambo on Bernard when she finds out he ratted them out?

5. We are getting things in threes again.

6. Naomi sure healed quickly.

7. I still think that Juliet is evil. How can she not know about the “people” who are trying to get on the island (per Ben)? Of course she gently walks away when Naomi shows Jack how to use the phone. She wants these people to come and destroy the Others. She is po’d especially at Ben. So she lets the Losties in on the Others plan so they end up killing many of the Others (maybe she’s hoping for Ben) and she lets Jack contact the boat.
Click to enlarge

8. So what does it mean when Bonnie says about Charlie, “He’s one of them.” Them who? The hostiles? Mikhail shoots before from his house thinking they are hostiles. Or, could she think that Charlie is one of these boat people that Ben is so afraid of? She doesn’t have information on the Losties, seemingly, like the other Others do and from the other info we learn, it seems that these two girls are out of the loop on what is happening above the surface. And where do they sleep? It just looks like two rooms.

9. Ben’s journal. This is the best picture I could make. Not very high res I guess.

10. Bonnie is breaking radio silence? Hm, what else is Ben not telling his people?

11. This is not a gun that she’s carrying. It almost looks like one of the immunization guns. What would they be intending to inject them with?
Click to enlarge

12. Would they really have been able to ignite the dynamite with a bullet? Check out this article, which also answered my question about the grenade under water.
Click to enlarge

13. This really has nothing to do with anything, I just thought it was a cool shot. I guess it does bring back the question… what was up with the smoke signals that Danielle was sending to the Others when she kidnapped Aaron? Wasn’t Claire a little freaked back on the beach when Danielle was standing there staring at her baby? Have the Others lost interest in Aaron now and just want the pregnant mothers? And how about this, if the ship is only 80 kilometers off of the shore (about 50 miles by my math) would they be able to see this smoke? Instead of a huge SOS sign or a carrier pigeon, how about keep HUGE fires going and send out smoke for help?
Click to enlarge

14. I’m wondering in the flash forwards how far in the future this is. Sara asks Jack if he has been drinking “again.” I don’t recall Jack being a drunk in the flash backs. His dad was. Jack called out his dad for the drinking. So that means the heavy drinking started after the rescue. That means that Sara has had other contact with Jack since the rescue and my guess would be that the drinking caused some sort of problem already in the relationship. That would also explain why it is *inappropriate* for her to give him a ride home. See kids what drinking will do to your life.

15. I also wonder if we have a starting point for flash forwards and over the next several seasons they will work their way backwards to the day of rescue. Then the flashbacks will continue to work forward and in the finale, the flashbacks, flash forwards and the current events will all meet in the middle.

16. Yes, Sara is very pregnant and very married. Reminds me of the movie Cast Away and when Tom Hanks comes back his love has moved on with her life. How do you find your place in a world that has moved on without you? Talk about L-O-S-T. Seems that Jack is more lost in his life now than before the crash.

17. “If you say Live Together Die Alone I’m going to punch you in the face.” Hilarious! Why did they put her character on ice for so long?!

18. Oh Dominic, you so deserve an Emmy for this episode alone. “So if this station floods, what happens to you?” “I die.”

19. The Others are going to the temple as planned. Can’t wait to see this place. Remember this lady? Maybe she’s there too.

20. It’s odd that Sawyer has been so shut down considering he found his *redemption* by killing the real Sawyer. But I guess it must not have been the redemption that he was really seeking. Has the guilt of this past caught up with him? He is still hanging on to that anger but why?

21. There is speculation that the woman from the crash *could be* Juliet’s sister. But you just can’t tell from these shots and the little boy would be so much older from when Ben showed him to Juliet back on the island that you really can’t tell from that either.

22. The new Chief of Surgery is not the same person as Locke’s physical therapist. Two different actors.
Click to enlarge

23. Dr. Hammil says that Jack is a hero, twice over. Twice meaning bringing everyone home and then saving the lady from the crash or twice meaning two people in the car? I vote from the crash to the … crash.

24. You can tell by this look that Sawyer really does care about Kate. Of course he doesn’t want her to go, she is pregnant! He cares! But he sure does have a funny way of showing it.
Click to enlarge

25. Of course Juliet has to go with Sawyer. She needs to make sure the job is finished. Plus she knows that she still has trust to earn with the Losties. The comment about the UFO seemed like a shout out to us if you ask me. I remember back in season one after they showed the outer space page in Walt’s comic there was talk that the Losties were actually out in space. That is a pretty interesting theory that still is out there.

26. Desmond said before that by his count the Losties had killed more of them then the Other had killed of them (in which Charlie responded that they started it). This is true, the Losties have killed more. But by my count Ben sure is giving a lot of orders to kill people – Jin, Bernard, Sayid, Charlie, Greta, Bonnie – and he’ll probably want Juliet dead at this point. He’s the Charles Manson of the island! He doesn’t want his hands dirty. The only person that Ben has killed, that we’ve seen, is his father and he justifies that as for the island.

27. Why would Greta and Bonnie be on *assignment* in Canada? Recruiters perhaps?

28. Ben let Alex come because he is delivering her to her new family. Ouch. Then he says he kept Karl away because he didn’t want her to get pregnant. *That* actually makes sense, only I don’t think that as a parent I would be using such drastic measures, but I guess you can never say never. hee hee!

29. Alex asks the best question to date, why won’t Ben just let them leave the island. He says he can’t. Why? If the island is as well protected from the outside world how would anyone ever find it again? Who would believe them anyway if they told about this mysterious island with it’s black smoke monster and Others that do crazy experiments? Why not let a few go, the *bad* ones? Why not let the men go and keep the women? Is he keeping them there as hostages purely because he is afraid that they will tell, or is there more going on that we don’t know about yet?

30. A popular shot.

31. Whispers again and then whoa! Walt! I’m glad Walt showed up but I’m thinking it solidifies that Jacob, the black smoke and the whispers are all working together. I don’t think that Walt is really there but it is just a manifestation of him. Jacob needs Locke. Whoever is whispering is connected to Jacob. The black smoke can somehow bring forth these visions. I’ve read that Michael and Walt will be back next season too.

****** SECOND HOUR AND PART TWO IS BELOW!! *********

1. Hm. Flash forwards. I mentioned this a long time ago. Check it out here . I mentioned it several times over the course of this blog, but this link is the first time I put the theory out there. Yes, I’m gloating.

2. Naomi was the snake in the mailbox or the guys coming will be the snakes? I’m wondering if they work for Daddy Widmore and they suspect Desmond is there. But…. Penny knows now that Dessy is there.

3. HATED the Charlie death. HORRIBLE scene. Heartbreaking. I don’t care if we knew it was coming, it was terrible to see him drown like that. I loved his character and HATED to see him die. Did I mention I hated him dying?

4. Now we need to go back and decide what was a flash forward and what was a flash back. Jack is a junkie. Who died? Was it Michael? *If* he comes back (wink, wink) what must he do on the island to make Kate dislike him so much? We assume when she says she has to get back to *him* that she means Sawyer, but it could be anyone. Awesome twist.

5. Yeah, American Idol running 10 minutes over 10:00? Gee, I wonder why they would do that during the Lost 2 hour season finale. Jerks.

6. Yeah Hurley! Here we thought he was going to go back and eat and talk to Dave but he is the hero now.

7. Maybe Desmond is flashing forward to Jack and sees what happens to him. Maybe he stops the rescue. Plus he knows it’s not Penny’s ship. But will anyone believe him if he stops the rescue? How in the heck will he explain why?

8. Bernard is a dentist, not Rambo. Man, why have they been suppressing these two? Come on everybody, you have to admit they are better than the you-know-whos.

9. So they are building a runway huh? Makes me suspicious of Ben and this boat off shore.

10. Alex and Danielle. Will be interested to see where they take this storyline. Maybe we’ll finally get our Danielle flashback.

11. Sawyer is one bad-a now isn’t he? Kill a guy and then he has no remorse over killing other guys. He’s just getting his redemption all over the place! And Sayid with the neck breaking move! Then there was Jin missing the dynamite. Um….

12. And what about the amazing healing Mikhail? Come on!

13. What was up with Locke just walking away from Jack? He kills a total stranger over the phone and then just shrugs his shoulder when Jack says “no” and leaves? Huh?

14. Michael Emerson (Ben) said that once we see the *real* bad guys we were going to wish that Ben was the worst that we had seen. I wonder who’s coming from that boat!

15. Walt. Guess Mr. Rodgers was right. He looked older so is it really him? We didn’t get to see very much of that.

16. Yeah, Jack kicked butt tonight. He wasn’t taking anything from anyone. It’s about time! But of course now we know Ben was telling the truth and maybe this once he should have listened and backed off.

17. Hey, someone might want to remind Kate that she’s a fugitive. She looked awfully happy to get rescued.

18. Going to have to watch this one again. More to come later….

The looking glass. I kept thinking to myself, the mirror was the “looking glass” in Alice in Wonderland but it was also the portal to the other world. “Through the Looking Glass” is also the sequel to AIW and here is some of the major themes, according to Wikipedia, “In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.” Then, I watched the special on Thursday, “Answers,” and despite the fact I don’t think we really got but a few resolutes to hot questions (like, NO they are not in purgatory people! Give it up!), they did say, regarding Charlie’s question “Guys, where are we?” that they are in a time space continuum. So I think it’s a pretty sure bet that we will find that something about time is not quite right here. It could explain why people heal so fast (time speeds up) or why babies die (time going too fast for the fetus to develop) or why Richard doesn’t age (time going slow). My theory isn’t fully formulated yet but I’m interested to hear yours. Oh yeah, and next weeks episode is titled “Through The Looking Glass.”

1. Juliet says that she’s been leaving tapes for Ben. Duh, and they just stand there like “OK, thanks for the honesty!” WTF is up with these people? I would be wanting to know what the heck she was saying on those tapes. Who is pregnant (considering the women DIE during pregnancy)? How is she getting her *samples?* Man, it’s like a bunch of 5 year olds that just start to ask the right questions then you can distract them with the pretty butterfly going past.

2. When exactly did Jack hook up with Danielle? We never did find out how she got out of the Other’s compound. And what were they thinking by a) wasting all that dynamite blowing up a tree and b) making such a HUGE commotion which would surely attract some unwanted attention? “Hey Ben, did you just hear something?” “Yeah, the losties are just playing with explosives. No big deal.”

6. Charlie was making his “list” before Desmond told him of the most recent death flashforward. Charlie is writing his own greatest hits.
Click to enlarge

7. What plane wreckage is Jack referring to when he tells Danielle that he will have some of the people strip it for wire? I remember in season one they had to move down the beach away from the wreckage because the water was going to wash away the fuselage. Plus, they burned it because of the bodies inside. Did they pull some of it away from the water? Sawyer has a piece of it that he has his tent in but it’s nothing significant. I keep seeing them walk by with pieces of the plane with wires sticking out. Yeah, almost as believable as Ken and Barbie being there the whole time, too.

8. I know that Ben shows up back at his camp in a rage and wants to go to the camp *now* rather than the next night but what if he and Juliet were planning this all along? Think about it. She is the *good* guy and tells Jack what is going on. Finding out that they are coming “early” Jack rounds all of the WOMEN up and treks them out into the open (see the scene from next week) where who of all people do the come across? Ben! Conveniently. Or it could also be Jack that is working with Ben – he doesn’t stay behind to fight, he doesn’t argue with Sayid when Sayid tells him to be the leader and go, and then he rounds them up making it look like he is trying to save them. Jack told Danielle and Rose that they couldn’t stay behind when they suggested it but when Sayid said he was Jack didn’t put up any fight. And who stays behind? Conveniently, their best shooters! Who will protect the women from being captured? There wasn’t enough time to rig all the dynamite so the casualites for the Others is going to be less. This reeks of set up to me.

9. Hey look, they have hair extensions on the island, too. Which station are these kept at?
Click to enlarge

10. We know there are three seasons left on the show so how can Claire and Aaron get saved? I’m thinking this… who are you going to put in the rescue vessel first? Women and children. Claire and Aaron. They are saved thanks to heroic Charlie pushing the button. But the signal that they receive to find them is only a blip in time. Charlie dies, the switch goes back on, the helicopter can’t find it’s way back and no one else is rescued at this time. Desmond swims back to the surface (yeah, you can see him in the underwater hatch next week) at some point in the season to let the survivors know what happened. Now you have a whole new dimension to the show. They can get help but have to fight the underwater Others. Juliet is once again (who is shocked?) a liar because it’s not flooded. Lots of story lines could happen here. Getting Claire and Aaron off of the island makes sense because *aw shucks* the most innocent are saved. Now the Others can really hack them up on tv!

11. Charlie has expressed several times that he cannot swim. I thought for sure that his dad wasn’t going to catch him, but he did and the moment made his “Greatest Hits” list. Then he says later that he was Junior Swim Champ in Northern England and can hold his breath for four minutes. He was either lying or something happens later to make him afraid of the water. And, does this mean we will see Charlie back next season so we can resolve his story line, so he can find his redemption? Ah, this is killing me! I saw an interview with him on Jay Leno from last week and Dominic is asked if he will be back and he just smiled and said something ambiguous. I want Charlie AND Desmond back. I don’t want either to die for the switch.

14. In “The Answers” they showed a clip of Locke being drug by “the monster” down into a hole. A rabbit hole perhaps? Goes with the theme. And why haven’t they come across more of these holes? Surely if there are holes out in the jungle the size of this one there have to be more and people surely would have come across them.

15. I wonder what other secrets Sayid has in this book where he had the Looking Glass map? And why is he trusting Jack so easily now?

16. Hm, maybe ABC is listening. We wanted you-know-who to go bye-bye and they did. We wanted Rose and Bernard back and here they are! And Rose went to the Beauty Salon hatch where Claire has been. Now give us a Mr. Friendly backstory next year!

17. Ironically, Alex is cutting up a white rabbit.
Click to enlarge

18. Rabbits are also a sign for fertility. Maybe they are used in fertility experiments on the island. But Alex likes them for lunch.

19. Alex has daddy issues. It’s cute that she’s hiding Karl out in the woods. But I was thinking, what if some guy was dating my daughter that I didn’t like? Would I cage him? Put him in a sensory *overload* chamber? Anything to keep him away from my daughter? No, of course not. I don’t have the space for a chamber like that in my house!

20. Dexter Stratton – Couldn’t find any real significance of this name. No anagrams that stuck out either. Maybe it’s just background with no more significance than that. Buggers!

21. Lord of the Rings fans – did Charlie’s character ever get the ring? I’ve never seen the movies so I don’t even know the significance of the ring. But I found the passing of the ring from Charlie (who was in the movie) to Aaron must have some meaning, if only tongue in cheek.

22. What happened? Charlie went from Rock God to playing Oasis on the street? Did we miss a huge chunk of time here?

23. Nadia.

24. What if Jack has the *sickness?* He looks terrible. He seems to be unstable. Danielle never did fully explain what the sickness was, only that her mates got it and she had to kill them. Will Jack’s fate be the same?

25. Check out the far left of the screen. You can see the camera person’s foot in the sand and part of the camera. Oopsies!
Click to enlarge

26. Same scene. Very sad. Hurley wants to go and Charlie has to make something up because he doesn’t want his friend there when he dies. Guess it’s hard to come up with something kind to say when you know you are about to die.

27. I don’t understand why Sawyer wasn’t the third shooter. He was pretty dead on killing that polar bear way back when so they know he can shoot. They know that he’s not above killing also. Must have other plans for him. I am also shocked that Sun agreed to let Jin stay. Didn’t she tell him once that she lost him but would never lose him again? Now they are separating the pregnant couple. I smell something fishy!

29. This lost Lost scene worked for me. It was simply done. There weren’t lots of our favorite characters running around the scene in an effort to get us to believe it. It was just Charlie and Claire and at that moment, that is probably how he felt. Applause, applause to ABC for K.I.S.S. (keeping it simple stupid!).”

30. Remember Joanna, the drowning woman from season one? Could they have drug her under the water and brought her here, or have been drug under by these women? They want women for their experiments so it makes sense why.
Click to enlarge

31. Why did Juliet lie about the hatch being flooded? Wouldn’t they have been more apt to go to the hatch (if they Others wanted them) if they thought it was functional?

32. I am thinking since they can jam the signal from here that this is another communication station (we see Mikhail down here in next week’s preview also). So could this station have crashed Naomi’s helicopter? After “The Answers” we can’t blame them here for the crash of 815 because they said decidedly so that Desmond caused the plane to crash.

33. Remember how the hatch (Desmond’s) had tunnels that had recently been filled with concrete (sorry, I don’t have a screenshot right now for this)? Juliet said that there was an incident. Does the Looking Glass lead to the other hatches, but when the incident happened they had to close off the tunnels?

34. “I’m alive, I’m alive.” Oh crap, maybe I’m not going to be for long! Poor Charlie!
Click to enlarge

35. New characters. Guess we’ll find out how long they’ll be staying this week. They don’t seem amused to see someone new in their hatch.
Click to enlarge

36. So in the previews for this week it looks like Desmond will be joining Charlie and a surprise visitor arrives (Mikhail). Looks like the 3 shooters are going to be captured (which is odd because Ben told Ryan to kill the men). And surprise, surprise, Ben finds Jack and ALL THE WOMEN wandering in an open field. Who will be the snake in the mailbox? Should be very exciting and TWO HOURS friends!

I know you think that I’m at home right now still doing the happy dance…

But this is what I want to remember about EVERY SCENE (except the last one, of course) that Ken and Barbie were in:

1. I wasn’t going to watch it but when I found out that Ken and Barbie were probably going to be a goners I just had to. Except now I have to send apologies to Scott because he has probably not heard such a constant stream of curse words from me ever (yet there was that one time…). Plus he probably wanted me to shut up already about the horrible acting and how I stayed up until freaking 10:00 to watch this and after last week how could they, blah, blah blah. You can all argue away with me but my feelings stand that I cannot stand Barbie as an actress and the big payoff of satisfaction watching them die was stolen by an entire HOUR of suffering having to stomach those two and their cheesy dialog. I’d rather watch Billy Ray Cyrus dance for an hour than suffer through that episode again. *blech!*

2. I truly think that the powers that be at ABC know that they made a huge mistake just plopping Ken and Barbie down on the beach and expecting fans to just accept them. So they had to hurry and clean up their mess = last night’s episode. Wasn’t there supposed to be some big mythological reveal last night? Maybe the revelation is that Ken isn’t the chronic pooper that we thought he was but rather just some tv-executive killing con man. I mean, were we really supposed to believe all the reshoots of the famous scenes in the show (plane crash)? “Oh, gee, guess I must have missed them the first time.”

3. I’m not going to post a shot from Nikki’s breakout role, but let’s just say my theory on why they *really* cast her was just reinforced.

4. “Plywood.”
Click to enlarge

5. So is Boone supposed to be the gay character that was revealed? In the airport, Shannon says, “If you would quit flirting with random guys maybe we could actually get on the plane.” Yes, I know what you are thinking… but he slept with Shannon. Ever heard of bi? Maybe he had a moment of weakness. Who knows. But in our conservative society I doubt they are going to make a prominent character gay. But it’s on at 10 now so maybe they could get away with it. Hurley, Charlie, Desmond love triangle? Ew, creepy!

6. How ironic. In the airport Barbie makes Ken promise her that they will never end up like them (Boone & Shannon). Both couples are dead. Guess he didn’t keep his promise!

7. Yes, I know she was on the Cobra show and that is the same show Locke was watching last week.

8. There is a theory out there that when Desmond *went back in time* his decisions changed the course of time and somehow instead of Rose and Bernard on the plane, Ken and Barbie ended up there. That is why we haven’t see R&B and K&B just suddenly showed up. However, being the obsessive fan that I am I looked through my screencaps because lo and behold, Rose is getting CPR on the beach as Barbie runs around looking all sweet in her clean dress. So there, they *have* to still be on the island somewhere.

9. Oh, like her acting wasn’t unbelievable enough, look how clean her dress is after surviving a plane crash and running all over the place looking for Ken. OK, so she has a little scratch on her arm. Boo hoo.

10. Sawyer, “He wasn’t saying You’re Next about them he was saying You’re Next as in you’re all next.” Hurley, “Yeah, that’s not really better.” Crack me up!

11. Artz has been dead at least several weeks and all these bugs, especially the butterfiles because they are they only one’s that I’m remotely familiar with, are still alive?

12. Now here is an interesting piece that might come back into play in the future. A walkie talkie from The Others.
Click to enlarge

13. I found it interesting that Sawyer was so angry when he came back to find his tent ransacked yet he doesn’t waste a second going through K&B’s stuff.

14. The scene where Kate was arguing with Artz and Shannon was very out of character too, at least, it was not the Kate that I remember from Season One. Why would she be discussing the guns with anyone? I remember that she kind-of hung back from the crowd as they didn’t know that she was a fugitive.

15. Hey, the pigs are walking!
Click to enlarge

16. OK people! So tell me that Ben and Juliet didn’t notice that the hatch was open when Paulo was down there hiding! Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt, let’s say he closed it to be extra sneaky. So wouldn’t they have noticed, then, that the dirt was off of the cover and the latch was really easy to open? Then, as Nate said in the last comment section, Ben just blurts out his plan? Ben? Remember Henry? Ben doesn’t reveal anything in black and white (he’s like an ethics professor!).

17. Good boy Vincent!
Click to enlarge

18. Yeah, we haven’t seen the end of Sawyer and those diamonds. He’s a con man. He didn’t throw them all down there.

19. Opened her eyes just in time to see the dirt coming. I would think with a couple hundred pounds of dirt coming at you, there is no way to dig out of this one. Do you think that the actors will have nightmares about shooting this scene?
