Initial Thoughts: The Last Recruit
Didn’t see that one coming! Maybe Flocke wants them off the island? Brilliance! Way to go Jack, you ARE still the leader.
1. Who is the last recruit? Jack? Flocke wants him because Jack’s faith is in tact much like Locke’s was originally. In the new time line the recruit looks like Desmond. Flocke saves Jack in the end over all the others there on the beach. I just can’t believe that Jack will agree, he knows too much now. I don’t think Jacob would have picked Jack if he thought he couldn’t make the right choice.
2. Man, I wanted Jack so badly to ask for his dad’s shoes back!
3. I loved the little pow wow by the fire with Flocke and Jack. All sorts of questions asked that they should have been asked a long time ago. Why Locke, why his body, was he Christian?
4. And if Flocke is taking on the dead forms that means that Michael was him too right? That is why he didn’t want them to blow up the plane. So Richard had it right! Sure hope he makes it there alive.
5. They are so conveniently bringing everyone together in the new time line. Ben going to the hospital with Locke. Sun and Jin are there. Jack comes to work on Locke. Claire may follow him there to talk. Sawyer and Miles will probably show up to question Sun. Kate was with Sawyer, who knows if she’ll stick around. And Sayid is in the mix too now.
6. How does Sun know that Locke is “him?” Did she see him in a near death experience?
7. Don’t forget that Jack still has the pill from Dogan for Sayid. So yes, he might be able to pull an “Anakin.”
8. And Saywer’s line “who the hell is Anakin?’ followed by Hurley telling Claire, “You look…… good.” I’m so glad to have them all back together.
9. It is pretty ironic that Kate hit Sawyer in LA. I guess we can assume that they aren’t “soul/island” mates since they didn’t start having flashbacks when they saw each other.
10. Dang, they have a lot of stuff on that sub. Fences, Desmond, now bombs? Impressive. Can a bomb kill Flocke?
11. Looks like Ilana is still working with Jacob in the new time line. She’s working with Des to get the Losties together. Her last name sounded like “Radzinsky?” That was the crazy guy from 1977 who helped build the hatches, who blew his brains out in the Swan.
12. Sayid even talks differently now. But I can tell you that he did not kill Desmond. Even if Sayid tried if the island isn’t done with Desmond then it will not let Desmond be killed. Sayid even has a little smirk on his face when he tells Flocke to go back and check to see if he killed Des. A little bit of him left in there?
13. I love Sawyer, “That pilot who looks like he stepped off the set of a Burt Reynold’s movie.” “That’s before she started drinking Locke’s Kool-Aid.” He’s back! Just need some punchy one-liners in the new time line.
14. Come on, David’s mom HAS to be Juliet! Show us already!
15. I’m waiting for the “dural sac” to burst just like the woman from Jack’s season one story. Then he’ll count to five, fix him up and Locke will walk again. But, I can’t wait to see what Locke will figure out about this island other-life while he’s under!
16. Will their guns even work after being in the water?
17. Did Liz Lemon ask who else was there because they wanted Jack? Why is it OK to bomb Flocke knowing Jack is there?
18. Geez, finally Jin and Sun! it’s interesting that Sun’s island person is like what the original time line person experiences. She kisses her true love and gets her voice back much like the island life flash the others have gotten.
19. They aren’t killing Sawyer and company. They must want them safe as well. We need to find out soon why they all need to be together.
20. Next week looks to contain one ticked off Smokey. Should be one crazy blood bath!

#9 Can we get screencaps of the clothes Sawyer and Kate are wearing in this scene? It looked like they were wearing the same jacket, which implied to me that they do have a connection in the alt. time line.
#10 I doubt it, since Flocke was the only one who didn’t flinch when the bomb exploded. But it could kill the Losties, and he needs them in order to leave.
#13 Agreed! The line about Lepidis (sp?) may have been the funniest of the season so far.
#18 Was anyone else half expecting the fence to be on when Jin and Sun ran to each other? Good thing it was turned off, huh.
Excellent summary, as always.

#10- I think the warning bomb was an indication that they would blow up the plane if Flocke didn’t give up Desmond???

“4. And if Flocke is taking on the dead forms that means that Michael was him too right? That is why he didn’t want them to blow up the plane. So Richard had it right! Sure hope he makes it there alive.”
didnt dogen or ilana say flocke is trapped in locke’s body and cant take other forms? if so, then flocke couldnt have been michael.

Awesome episode, they just keep getting better and better

Seen the dog lately? Ever see the dog and fake Locke at the same time. The dog was always around in the early episodes.

I think that Jacob takes on Vincent’s body.
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Maybe Vincent will be the next “Jacob”!
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:40 am
i think vincent is dead, sorry to say, but i think smokey turns into people that are dead and jacob can turn into animals somehow, just like the butterfly in the black rock. so as smokey turned into christian in order to lead jack, jacob turns into vincent to lead walt, which is why walt is special? now jacob is dead we not seeing vincent anymore as whatever shape he now takes he will stay that way. hey jacob the fish or something?

maybe Jacob is a LEECH. Maybe even now he’s drinking Locke’s blood and in the season finale Loce will die because his vains are empty.
