So it would seem we atleast have been privy to ONE answer. Jack's dad; Christian Shephard was really then the Smoke Monster taking his form. To his defense it was so they could find water? Possible? Again - what if this Smoke-Locke is NOT a bad guy...it may be about perspective.
Just to backtrack: Anyone have any clue as to who the Little Boy was in last weeks episode?
Most importantly....SUN & JIN!!!!!!! FINALLY! I definitely went through a tissue or two. Its about damn time. I was hoping however they would have done that "hazy=slo-mo reunion thing" but it was still moving. And both Kwons...STILL wearing the pearly white clothing. I have a feeling that this is not a coincidence. Maybe neither of them have been tainted with evil.
Ummm also, am i the only sick-o who expected them to be zapped by the gavel-looking fence thing on the beach?!
In the scene before the anticipated reunion, we see the Kwons in the hospital and everything for ALL of them was going to "be okay". Is this the cause or the effect of Island life.
The concept of Cause & Effect has become a key theme to me, especially in tonights episode. Maybe this is the turning of the tide. Going from "finding your true love" (trite) to somehow trying to figure out which world is the cause to the effect. In other words is the flashsideways the "cause" or the "effect" of the island life.
I love how it is (and i use this term heavily) slightly coming together. We see the chosen 6 all somehow come together and intertwine in the flashsideways: Sayid - Miles & Sawyer : Sawyer - Kate : Desmond - Claire & Ilana : Jack - Claire, Ilana, Locke...etc etc
(I was watching some episodes from Season 5 with Schwimmer a few weeks back and noticed that when we first meet Ilana she has an irritatingly fake accent, and now she doesnt - AT ALL. It makes me wonder, did they phase out the accent because it was so god-awful or because it was part of her undercover persona?)
Im not sure if i missed it or not... Did sayid really shoot desmond? Is he really dead or are we left up in the air to guess?
Who the hell is Jack's wife in the alternate-life?!?!?! Its killing me!!!!
Is it safe to say that Desmond is now sort of the facilitator of fate? Too bad he isnt one of the candidates. That would really be the gum on his shoe if that were to happen.
*Small easter egg: The numbers popped up again in tonights episode. The building claire was entering was "48" and she was going to the "15th" floor
And ive been saying that Whidmore would renig on his promise...bastard!
Thats all I have really, my apologies for this not being all that clever...im confused!
P.S. I am starting the pool now: Who will end up being Jacob's replacement? Anyone care to make as assumption?
I feel its too obvious but Im going to say Jack since he has made the biggest change. And the show pretty much focused around him since the beginning. I wont be super thrilled if this is how it ends, but thats my feeling as of this point.
Happy Posting!

Oh, you were not the only one who thought Jin & Sun were going to get zapped by the smoke monster pillars. It nearly ruined the reunion for me since I was having a mini heart attack and yelling at my tv. I still won't believe they are going to be ok until the show is over - I just can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen to them. Ugh. I liked when Sun was scared of Locke when they were both getting off the ambulance. The two worlds are definitely getting ready to merge/collide/whatever is going to happen. I just watched the episode like 10 minutes ago, so I might be back later with more after I've had time to do some thinking :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I was scared about the fence, too! I was convinced that one of them was going to fry. I also think that something is going to happen to one of them, it would be just like Lost to do that - lull you into thinking they're reunited so they will be OK...and then...
ReplyDeleteI'm so convinced that Jack's ex-wife is Juliet that I will almost be disappointed if she is, if that makes sense! They are really dragging that one out, I can't wait to find out!
Did Jack know that Claire was his sister (in the island world)? he didn't seem surprised when she said that, but I couldn't recall if he knew that or not. She really is crazy, I don't trust her on the boat with them.
I like how they are all coming together, especially how Sun seemed to recognize Locke in some way. I loved Locke, he was my favorite character, so it's still hard for me to see him but realize it's not "HIM." What a role reversal for Jack, by the way. So much the "man of science" before, and now seems to have taken on Locke's "man of faith" persona. Very interesting character progression.
C, they didn't show Sayid actually shooting Desmond. I'm betting that he did not do it - I think Desmond is quite important to the story in both the island and sideways worlds.
Can't believe there is no episode next week, I will die! However, I didn't realize the series finale was on a Sunday. weird.
I think they are doing it on a Sunday for a plethera of reasons:
ReplyDelete1- sunday night ratings
2- its two hours
3- that week is traditionally the finale for American Idol and I dont think they want to compete (although i have not watched A.I this season because it is a huge disappointment)
