Whoa... Jumping right in.1 - Desmond. Not dead. No way. Claire proved by getting on that boat that people with the "sickness" can be rational and "redeem" themselves. Sayid didn't kill Desmond... the two of them are probably hatching a plan.
2 - Christian was the smoke monster all along. Not a shocker there, but good to hear from Locke's mouth. By the way, I wish they would stop calling him Locke. Strange that we still don't know the smoke monster / man in black's real name. I'm still thinking that his name will wind up being someone that we already know.
3 - Sun and Jin finally reunite. Wish they left that perimeter fence on for a few more seconds. Wow, I guess I really don't like them.
4 - The parallel universe is starting to come together. Is Desmond a master manipulator or what? Or maybe it was just luck that Claire's adoption agency was right next to Ilana's law firm and her appointment was at the exact same time as Christian's will reading?
5 - Jack is dead. WHAT? Well, it's a theory. What if Jack died in the explosion, Locke brought him right back to life and now he's "with him"? The title of the episode was "The Last Recruit". Jack could be the smoke monster's last remaining team member. They made a big deal about Jack getting hit by the missile, complete with ringing ear sound effect. Claire was "saved" by Locke after her house exploded in Dharmaville... it was very similar to what happened to Jack.
So, Jack and Locke are now together, under attack. Desmond and Sayid are most likely getting Cindy, the kids and the other non-essential followers out of there and heading for Hydra island. The rest of the candidates are being held by Widmore... so it begins. The war is on. And next week it's a repeat... Damn.
PS - WRRV listener, Jeremy, informed me about the "Lost Untangled" series of videos produced by ABC. They're posted online after each episode. Not much insight into what's going to happen next, but a good recap for those of you who are completely "lost". Here's this week's:
I'd highly doubt that Jack is dead now, just dazed. Fake Locke obviously had more interest in him than the rest of the people standing around with him at the blast, proving so by rushing him out of the area. That was seen as well by the level of interest Fake Locke had when Jack waltzed into his camp the previous night with Hurley (We never DID find out why he got that nickname Hurley...).
ReplyDeleteOne thing I thought of last night was that Fake Locke is really trying to get everyone to leave together, but unfortunately he really missed his chance. It didn't hit me until after the episode, but his best chance would've been to try and get everyone off together back in Season 4 when people actually DID leave the island. He should've rallied them together then, and I'm just left wondering why the writers didn't think of mentioning that.
Also, Jack jumping off the boat was almost like watching Sawyer jump out of the helicopter into the ocean on the way to the freighter. Very similar setting. Just have to wait and see what happens...
As far as Smoke getting off the island when everyone else left, it would've been hard for him to leave while disguised as Christian Shepard.
ReplyDeleteAlso- Jack didn't die- we've seen that Jack can't die, when he was with Richard in the Black Rock. The dynamite failed to explode. The island isn't done with Jack, so he cannot die yet.

ReplyDeletealso I don't think fakelocke was disguised as Jack's dad. I don't think he knew about jack's dad. I think he was caught off guard when Jack mentioned it and lied.
