After shaking uncontrollably for 2 weeks, I finally got my Lost fix last night. Let's jump right into it:Kudos and fish biscuits to everyone who thought that Horace and Amy's baby was Ethan. Juliette's reaction was great when she found out. "OK, I'm holding baby Ethan now, this is creepy, down you go!"
Jack, Hurley and Kate are safe... for now. That nosy Dharma check-in guy has his eye on Jack and knows something is up. Hopefully the level-headed Sawyer 2.0 will read some more books and figure out how to keep things calm before they are exposed. And I'm so glad someone finally put Jack in his place. Sawyer, er LaFleur, gave it to him good and Jack just stood there and took it in his little workman jumper.
OK, here's something that I noticed last night... and it seems to be causing a buzz with Lost fans this morning. Did you see the figure moving behind Christian in the burnt out Othersville? After Sun and Lapidus follow Christian inside and what looks like the smoke monster follows them through the door, you can see a figure standing behind Sun:
Is this supposed to be Claire? I know she's hangin' with her dad (my theory is she died in the explosion and is really dead now, just like Christian and Locke). Here's an enhanced photo:
It's not Claire. Is that a stage hand caught watching the show on a monitor? Or is it a Claire stand-in so they didn't have to pay the actress to be there on shooting day just to hover in the dark? Another Lost mystery... for now.
Creepy kid Ben is back. And unfortunately the actor seems to have gone through puberty. I guess we'll have to suspend some disbelief like we did with Walt and assume that Ben isn't rapidly aging or anything like that. Did he come on the same sub as Jack, Kate and Hurley supposedly did? Because he was so familiar with the guard, it looks as if he's been on the island for a while. I wonder if he's interacted with Sawyer, er LaFleur, and Juliette at all?
Gotta cut things short, the show is starting now... as usual, leave your comments below and we'll discuss this more.
I saw that too! I think it's supposed to be Claire but it was a stand in like you said. Love the show Boris!
ReplyDeleteSurprised that you didn't even touch on the time difference between LaFleur, and the rest and Sun and the rest. There is a large difference between them assuming that Shepard only arrived to the island after the initial plane crash as well as the stand in Claire. So Sun and Frank and the rest of the new plane crash are there present day and LaFleur and the rest of the new dharma group are in 1977. So there are parallel universes within the same island. How are they going to meet up? Will Jin go crazy the whole time?
ReplyDeleteNow we see that in the past currently the Ben has meet Sayid, so then did he recognize him when he first me him seasons ago???
What happened to Rose, Bernard and all them?
ReplyDeleteGood question, anonymous. I love LOST, but a teeny part of me feels like those "flashes" are a little too convenient. We are just supposed to accept them so we don't need explanations?
ReplyDeleteSo POOF! Rose and the rest are haunting some other universe. Then there's the plane thing - FLASH! And Jack, Kate, and Hurley are all magically safe on the island? How did that happen when two weeks later we see that what's-his-face lands the plane on a very well placed runway.
Maybe future episodes will connect the dots, but all this back and forth is starting to get to me. Am I the only one? When will all the Losties of the same generation meet up and will we ever see more of the young Danielle and her crew?
So I know this is a bit after the episode, but it just dawned on me, that Ethan, the new baby, was not killed during Ben's "purge" he is one of the original Dharma Initiative people. And we of course see him as an adult on the island. So why was he spared???
