First of all, make sure you take a look at the picture in the post below this one. If you don’t smile upon seeing that then you are dead inside. Secondly – Lost continues to be the awesomest show on TV. Read on to find out why:
Pretty much everything took place off island this week (or above island towards the end) so no break down of On/Off Island.
The explanation of how they get back to the Island was sort of weak, but I really can’t think of a better method of getting to the Island so I guess I can’t complain. Basically the Lamp Post was created for the specific purpose of finding the Island and with it they can approximately determine the time and place of the Island. The trick is just getting to that point at the right time. Of course we have to ask who the hell was this guy that Mrs. Hawking said figured out all the math on finding the Island? Is it Velenzetti? He’s been referenced before. Also for our Oceanic 6 the more like their original trip to the Island the better. Thus we have:
o Hurley with a guitar that surely must have belonged to one Charlie Pace, but how’d he know to get to the plane? He was in jail when all the Lamp Post business went down. Was it Ben? No! I think it was the ghost of Charlie who told him he had to go.
o Jack outfitting Locke with some Christian Sheppard Chucks
o Sayid coming in handcuffs with a Federal Agent a’la Kate. The same Fed might I add that got to him way back in season 1 to infiltrate that terrorist circle with the promise that she’d tell him where Nadia was living. Sayid, same as Hurley, how’d he know to get on that plane?
o Here’s a stretch theory, Kate jumped Jack’s bones the night before because she wanted to get pregnant to fulfill the Claire role.
So before we jump to the airport lets cover Ben’s mysterious ass kicking. I think it’s pretty safe to assume his unfinished business was the whole “killing Penny” thing. Where does he make his bloody phone call to Jack from? A marina. Who just recently arrived in LA via a boat? Desmond and Penny. But did Ben succeed in killing Penny or did he get his ass handed to him by Desmond? I’m thinking that he did kill her which will give Desmond reason to go back to the Island.
Oh one more thing before the airport – what’d Kate do with Aaron? Did she smother him in his sleep? That’d certainly make Kate one cold ass bitch. But no, I think she left him in the hands of Sawyer’s ex-lover and mother of his daughter Clementine.
Now the airport. The gang’s all here. Plus we have mysterious guy who talks to Jack at the counter to offer him his condolences. This is Lost so he’s no random airline loving patron, he’s there for a reason. Most likely in the employ of one Charles Widmore and tasked with finding the Island. Once on the plane we get to see our good friend Frank Lepedus looking much more Lawnmower Man like without the beard. I wonder what he was thinking once he got back to the cockpit knowing that some sort of crazy shit was going to happen to his plane. I bet he started drinking those little airline bottles of booze like he had some weird disease that made his wang shrink and the booze was the only medicine that could stop it.
So the inevitable happens; shit goes down on the airplane, the time travely flash happens and our heroes are back on the Island. We know the whereabouts of Jack, Kate, and Hurley but Sayid, Sun, Ben, Lepedus, Federal Agent, and Widmore Plant Guy are MIA. Oh and John Locke’s body (which we know from next week’s previews comes back to life). What happened to the plane? Did it crash or did they get peacefully transported to the Island via the flash since they’ve been there before?
At the very end of the episode they get their bearings and start moving out only to run into Dharma Jin! We’re in the 70s baby! We know that Jin and Daniel have infiltrated Dharma by this time but no word about Sawyer, Juliet, and Miles. I’m thinking they split into 2 groups – one for Dharma and one for The Others. Does Locke come back to life because they’re now in a time before he died? Time travel is confusin’!
And what about the mysterious Air Ajirha water bottle in the outrigger of 2 episodes ago? Is that from as of not seen survivors of the crash? Is that from our heroes who for some reason in the future want to blast Sawyer and crew? Or maybe its Widmore Plant Guy and some more Widmore Cronies?
Discuss!

I think Kate took Aaron to Claire's mom, but I do like your theory. Did anyone else see a connection between the lamp post and Narnia? Sort of like the looking glass/white rabbit and alice in wonderland. It might just be coincidental but who knows. Also I know that Eloise said they had to re create the original flight as much as possible and it looks like they did what they could, but will the fact that Lapidus was flying the plane then and was supposed to fly the Oceanic flight and didn't mean anything? I'm willing to bet that Ben ends up in othersville since that is where he was at the time of the original crash. Next week's episode looks sick!!!
ReplyDeleteOh also, in case anyone is interested, if you go to ajiraairways.com then in the following order select flights, then under book a flight select one way, from: LA to: Guam, then use the calendar to select January 21st 2009, then flight 316, then 10 adults 0 children, then enter promotional code 112114111109111 it will play a short video and allow you to select a seat, until you find one available it will show you random pics and once you find an available seat you can print a boarding pass.
ReplyDeleteI think that Brian is on to something with Claire's mom. Seems like Kate did something permanent, Claire's mom would be a good solution. Wasn't sawyer's chick a drifter too? Not a great place to leave a child right?
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't follow the 2 groups in the past scenario that mike is schilling here...No evidence to support it.
I do really like the theory about the additional people on the plane. They are significant somehow, or at least will be in the next season. Is that non-descript dude really a widmore plant? Maybe he's just a dude who won a trip to Guam from a radio station?!?!?
okay- I got one major problem here
ReplyDeleteSo, the lamp post was to find the island, and there had to be all sorts of conditions and blah blah blah for them to get back on to the island.
How did Darhma get there? How does Richard keep getting back and forth? How did Juliet get there./
this is all wrong. The writers are stretching too much.
Tara,
ReplyDeleteRemember the submarine Locke blew up way back when? That thing looked pretty freaking old, which makes me think the others confiscated it from the Americans attacking them in the past. This would give Richard passage back and forth...or at least that's what Ben led us to believe about the submarine.
How a sub can find the island so easily (and consistently) is still a mystery, but there is definitely transportation. I don't think it would be a stretch to say that Dharma (and Mrs. Hawking) are all a bunch of liars and there are easier ways to/from the island. Or maybe that's just how I feel because of Ben. Who knows.
Perhaps the Swan Station was built by Dharma to limit and/or stop the Island from moving? With its movement possibly stopped then the sub could move to and from the Island at will as long as it knew the right baring to get back and forth on.
