Old and New
Back to Charlie, but only a little because the upcoming epi’s seem to have a lot of potential.
1. Charlie appears to have been given the burden of “saving his family” since he was a boy. So we can expect him to do what it takes to save his island family, namely Aaron and Claire. We haven’t seen the last of his antics, either, I’m sure. But lets not forget the dreams. Seems Mr. Locke has been slipping some of his potion to Charlie to induce a magic carpet ride, much like he did to Boone. Thing is, Locke was not expecting how his salve, if you will, would work on an ex-junkie. But wasn’t Charlie so proud of himself when he is talking to Jack and he says that he didn’t do the drugs? Made me really feel sorry for him.
2. Locke is setting up Charlie. I went back and watched a couple of epi’s from Season One and Locke is all about giving Charlie “choices.” BTW, who made Locke the God of the island anyway? Now he tells Charlie that he has given up his right to choose? If so, then why does Locke keep the statues in plain sight in the vault? Some sort of trap? Maybe he’s keeping them as bait in case Charlie starts to get close to Claire again and Locke will think he can lure Charlie with them and prove something to Claire.
3. In Season One, epi White Rabbit, Charlie comes running up to Jack to tell him that there is a girl drowning. Charlie yells “I don’t swim. I don’t swim.” What is up with that? Is this part of his obsession with Aaron floating around in the water in Fire + Water? Remember folks, Moses was sent floating down the river and Aaron was Moses’ brother. Are the Lost people shoving the biblical references down our collective throat or what!?
4. HDTV sucks! OK, maybe it rocks, but ABC is screwing us my HDTV deficient friends! They are showing extra items to those with HDTV and it must stop! In F + W, the scene where Charlie sees Claire and his mom on the beach, listen carefully and you will hear a plane. Apparently, in HDTV you can see the drug plane fly by. This isn’t the first time either. In What Kate Did, when she goes to see her dad, Sayid is getting arrested on the tv in the back ground. Huh?
5. This week, 2 X 13 “The Long Con,” I am wondering why the Others want to take Sun and why now? She has been wandering in the woods for awhile. Is she pregnant? Remember they wanted Claire for her baby.
6. Vincent is the mole! He comes running out right before Sun is taken. He appears before Shannon runs off to chase Walt. He appears right before the mirage Walt appears. Coincidences? Bet we could get quite a list going of his appearances right before something strange happens. I think he appears in Season One right before Jack’s dad shows up and I think that Vincent is licking Jack’s face or looking at him in the pilot at the opening scene.
7. Rumors are that Sawyer is going to find a 16 year old girl in the woods who is another survivor and she has been hiding. Odd that she is 16, huh, just the age of “Alex.”
8. Damn blogger just erased the rest of my post when I previewed it! Argh! I will try to re-create.
9. Epi 2 X 14 “One of Them” - When Rousseau leads Sayid to a mysterious captive in the jungle, he becomes determined to find out if he is one of the “Others.” Meanwhile, Sawyer discovers Hurley’s potentially devastating breech of the survivors’ trust and blackmails him into helping track an elusive island creature that won’t leave Sawyer alone.
10. The actor who plays Hurley says we will find out why he’s not losing weight. Something to do with the breach of trust?
11. Epi 2 X 15 “Maternity Leave” Claire - centric
12. Epi 2 X 16 “Forever and Never Again” Jin/Sun-centric
13. One last thought. When Kate was taken by “The Others” why didn’t they question her about her experience with them? Is Jack too busy throwing his hissy fit over her following them to question her?
