Um… what? Spoilers below.
* The nuke explosion was more like the time travel effect. I’m guessing everyone’s still alive.
* Hate how the whole Sawyer-Jack conflict was solved in like 5 minutes. And somehow Sayid who was bleeding out before it even began is still ticking.
* Jacob struck me as kinda pervy the way he stalked everyone
* Did Jacob bring Locke back to life when he fell out the window? Looked like it.
* So was Jacob’s buddy in the reanimated body of Locke? Is Locke actually really dead?
* I liked how Bernard and his wife were just like, we don’t care about you guys and the trauma du jour.
* Also enjoy how Ben Linus is totally unable to manipulate things for a change
I also loved the Rose and Bernard reaction. Here’s what I’ve been thinking about the whole Locke thing. Richard told John that he’d have to die to bring everyone back. If Richard knew that, isn’t he probably somehow in on the other dark-haired guy’s plot to find a loophole?
I liked how Bernard and his wife were just like, we don’t care about you guys and the trauma du jour.
Indeed. It was a nice meta “Get a life!” moment a la Shatner on SNL, lo these many years ago.
Richard told John that he’d have to die to bring everyone back. If Richard knew that, isn’t he probably somehow in on the other dark-haired guy’s plot to find a loophole?
Except Richard didn’t know that–or even know to say that–until he’d been fed the line by False Locke.
I think Jacob’s adversary has been stuck inside Locke since the first time he and Ben visited the cabin–a prison, of sorts–but was unable to control Locke until Locke actually died.
Oh, right. In the scene with the two Lockes, where John sends Richard to get the bullet out of his leg. Thanks, I didn’t make that connection. I’m now wondering if that scene in the cabin, where Jacob said “Help me” was Jacob and the other guy – in some invisible form – fighting?
As soon as I saw Frank’s reaction, I knew that box had a body; just didn’t know whether it was Locke’s or Desmond’s.
The creators did confirm that out of all of the characters, the dog will defintely survive. So the lesson is: stay near Vincent and you live. Now that I think about it: a Vincent-themed flashback would be interesting.
I would still like to know where Claire went. The show’s starting to run out of female characters.
Oh, and everything’s totally Kate’s fault.
Oh, and everything’s totally Kate’s fault.
Hell yes.
And Richard is too mysterious for the sake of being mysterious, which for a show like Lost is hard for someone to stick out for that reason.
I don’t think Jacob’s been in that cabin for a very long time, although it was once his. Ilana said “somebody else” has been “using it”–I’m guessing the Man in Black had been trapped.
The point being, we’ve never met Jacob. Ever. He lives in the statue. The cabin is where Jacob’s adversary has always been, pretending, sort of, to be Jacob.
Think: Jacob vs Esau.
Thanks, DannyC. During the show I was trying to think of what the Biblical reference to Jacob was. My expertise in that area is lacking. Since he doesn’t have a last name, I knew he couldn’t be another philosopher. Any ideas on how Richard Alpert being Ram Das’ real name may explain Richard’s character?
All I know is, the guy who plays Alpert needs to play Rod Serling in the movie about his life story.
I don’t watch the show. After reading all this I remember why not.
The whole thing seems very “WTF?” indeed.
Just don’t tell me who the final Cylon is yet, that’s all I ask.
“Oh, and everything’s totally Kate’s fault.”
What? Why is everything Kate’s fault?
“Oh, and everything’s totally Kate’s fault.”
What? Why is everything Kate’s fault?
Because Kate is Chaos Incarnate. Everytime she shows up, drama just flows like wine.
