Lost what Kate did?
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!

Whoa. I don’t even know where to begin. I think I need to set you up with a forum in addition to the blog here - it’s too hard to reply to everything in comments!
Gotta throw in one thing we briefly talked about. I think perhaps someone else on the island bastardized one or more “training videos” to create the one that Desmond has. For what purpose? Now there’s a good question. I get the impression that whatever originally started on the island didn’t work out so well (duh) and there are perhaps more than one faction fighting for control(?) of whatever it is that’s going on… Dunno. This is a pretty raw thought at the moment, but I wanted to throw out the seeds of the idea.

Ok - that was a lot of comments. I was looking forward to see what you saw and you saw WAY more then I did.
1. I think it was her real dad but I still don’t get her reasoning for killing him, even after our conversation on this last week.
2. Didn’t she kill (or think she had something to do with the death) of Tom? Maybe the 2 deaths combined have her on the wanted list.
3. Too much for my brain to relate to.
4. Maybe that is what they all have in common. But why is Rose and her husband not taken? They seem to the be the most good of all the survivors.
5. I didn’t think about the digging and the grave area until I read your comments. You are right on that (but you already know that). He was digging on the beach and she was sitting inland more. What was the necklace that he put on the cross. I don’t have the TiVo thing to go back and replay. Was it Syid’s?
7. I don’t think that it is Walt that Michael is talking to either. I thought from the getgo that was too much of a coincedince (sp).
8. I thought that Michael was also in construction at some point. Didn’t he say somthing to that effect during the episode when they were trapped in the cave?? That might be how he knows about the door and stuff.
10. I thought the video still didn’t mesh. I will have to watch that episode when it is on again to catch what you are talking about.
I didn’t realize it was going to be until January, but that would make sense with the holiday coming. Bummer, but it will give us a chance to rewatch and catch some things we might have missed. OK that I might have missed.
14. I like the numbers. I caught some of them but not all that you did. You make me think. Thanks!
17. I miss Sawyer too. He has some good lines.

I loved this episode. It was great. Especially when Kate kissed Jack…
