This blog post has nothing to with Lost and everything to do with “loss.”  I lost my beloved cat “Catnip” yesterday.  She was only 4 years old and had a severe abdominal affliction which was incurable.  I dedicate this post to her.  Here is a picture and poem that my daughter wrote for her:

After watching with the thought in mind that THEY want us to see these *specific* clips, here is my list I call

(insert creepy echo) “Thoughts and Questions”

1. Arrow on the hatch door where the Tailies were staying. What does it mean? We know the medical hatch had a caduceus so what is this?

2. *Orientation* video indicated that they were to stay in the hatch for 540 days. Desmond says he has been there 3 years. What happened?

3. L-O-V-E-D the Locke quote after watching the film. “We’re gonna need to watch that again!” Yes we are!

4. Ana recounts the number of tailies that were taken by the Others. What happened to them? Why chose them and not any other survivors? Why take so many tailies and so few of the mid-section-ers?

5. I still think that Kate poisoned someone in her past. I saw her getting Sawyer to drink and it reminded me of my theory. We have seen alot of clues leading us to this (poison to Michael (meant for Jin), drugging Jack to get him to sleep, etc…).

6. LOVE the scene where Eko comes out of the woods with Sawyer over his back. “Where’s the doctor?” Classic TV.

7. OK so the guys from the raft come out of the woods and did you see how happy everyone was to see them? Wouldn’t you be like, holy crap, there goes our chance to get saved? I would.

8. Hurley told LIbby she looked familiar. Did he forget?

9. Eko’s stick with the bible references, what was up with that?

10. Mike on the computer. OK, so you’re stranded on an island and your kid has been taken by seabillies. The computer that is used solely for “saving the world” suddenly lights up with an instant chat and you don’t say anything to anyone?

11. Sawyer has really gotten beat up on this island. He gets stabbed by Sayid, punched by Hurley and shot TWICE by The Others. When will he get his revenge or when will we see the tough guy? He told Zeke that it wasn’t over… can’t WAIT for that confrontation!

12. When Sun asks Kate if she ever took a pregnancy test she answers yes. Tom? The Marshall?

13. What is all being built at this point? We are told that Eko is building a church but what was Charlie and Sayid building? And when did Charlie become Mr. Fixer Upper?

14. Henry is so freaking good at manipulation. I bet the actor playing him is just loving this part and I love watching him. Good job bad guy!

15. OK, I SWEAR that tonight I heard the word “Lockdown” come out of the speakers during the scene when the weird sounds are coming out before the doors go down. Me thinks the producers cleaned this up a bit for us.

16. The map. I think that in 20 years when there is a recap of the greatest TV moments, the scene where the map on the door lights up will be in that countdown. I can’t wait to look back and remember the moment and to also have all the knowledge of what the show is really about. In the meantime I’m enjoying the ride!

I wonder if we’ll see more of this? Maybe they had to drink away the agony and wonder of Flash Forwards! HA!

Two ‘Lost’ stars arrested
Rodriguez, Watros charged in separate incidents
Friday, December 2, 2005; Posted: 10:48 a.m. EST (15:48 GMT)
HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) — Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros, who star on ABC’s “Lost,” were arrested within 15 minutes of each other in Kailua for allegedly driving under the influence of an intoxicant.

Both failed field sobriety tests and were released Thursday on $500 bail each, police said. The actresses, who were in separate cars, were arrested after their vehicles were spotted weaving on Pali Highway, which connects Kailua and Honolulu, police said.

Watros, who portrays Libby on “Lost,” was arrested at 12:05 a.m. Rodriguez, who plays Ana Lucia, was arrested at 12:20 a.m., according to police records. Rodriguez was booked under the name Mayte Michelle Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, 27, and Watros, 37, were to appear at a driver’s license revocation hearing at Kaneohe District Court on December 29, police records showed.Motorists arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant automatically have their driver’s licenses revoked. They are given a temporary license that allows them to drive, but under several restrictions.

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!
