Why They Died

Can it be? Only 1 episode left of LOST for forever?! I guess I’m a week away from writing LOST fanfiction rather than this blog!

Alternaverse – I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

Jack wakes up and the mystery cut on his neck is larger than it was in the 1st episode of the season. Island Jack doesn’t seem to have the same cut on his neck so what is causing it? Is AlternaJack getting some universe bleed through from future Island Jack? Jack, on island, in the alternate universe, but in the future? Only when dealing with LOST could I write a sentence like that and it not seem too crazy. Maybe Evil Locke will try and slice his neck open in the finale? Anyways, Jack enjoys a gourmet breakfast (Super Oat Bran! Ask for it at your local grocer!) with his son and new half sister then he gets a call – his father’s body has been found!

Only that call was not from Oceanic it was from Man In The Know, Desmond. He’s back at Locke’s school and got his sights set on him and his arrogant wheel chair having ass. But not so fast! Dr. Ben is here to save the day! Only not so much. Desmond beats him so hard he sees Desmond kicking his ass in another universe. Yet Ben is left feeling strangely as peace and he tells Locke that Desmond was there to open his mind up not commit vehicular homicide!

Fresh off his Ben beating Desmond promptly turns himself in to the Detective Sawyer and soon he finds himself with Murderin’ Sayid and Cell Block Kate. Everything’s going according to plan he chuckles to himself.

Meanwhile Locke has given into the machinations of fate and taken Jack up on his offer to fix him. He is finally ready to get out of that wheel chair. Huzzah! Old Locke, Man of Faith, is starting to come back! What will it mean for Evil Locke?

Back at the prison Desmond, Murderin’ Sayid, and Cell Block Kate are going to be moved to county. Calmly Desmond explains to them that they are going to get free and that they are going to have to do something for him. “He’s crazy, just nod” thinks Kate while all Sayid can hear are the voices telling him to kill, kill, kill. Suddenly the van stops and Ana Lucia lets them out. Hurley shows up in his big yellow Hurleymobile and pays her off. Hurley is fully aware of his Island self now, “Oh cool Ana Lucia’s here, is she coming with us?” “No, she’s not ready”. Desmond sends Sayid off with Hurley to a mystery location (to get Sawyer perhaps…) and he and Kate head to the concert where we already know Jack, David, Claire, Charlie, Miles, Dr. Changtastic, Charlotte, Daniel, Penny, Widmore, and Eloise are going to be at. How do I know all this? Because it’s the Drive Shaft concert baby! Desmond pulls on his fingerless gloves, lights up a cigar, and makes like Hannibal from the A-Team – I love it when a plan comes together.

On Island – I Choose You Pikachu

Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley are left filled with sorrow and hate for Evil Locke. They’ve got to kill him they just don’t know how. Desmond is the key Jack says and they’re off! Enroute Lil’ Jacob shows up and demands Hurley give him his ashes and then he bolts. Surprisingly Hurley catches up with him and Lil’ Jacob has grown up to regular Jacob. The rest of the gang shows up and surprisingly they can see Jacob too. Then we GET SOME MOTHER FUCKING ANSWERS!

Jacob brought them all to the Island to fix this mistake he made thousands of years ago by tossing his brother into the magic cave. Not only that but they were picked cause they all had pretty shitty lives. The Island needed them but they needed the Island. I would say he’s pretty spot on with that. While their lives aren’t the greatest; the Island certainly has made them better people. Now one of them has to take over as Protector and it has to be willingly; not like what his mother did to him. Although he is kinda railroading them by saying bad things will happen if nobody does. Jack, completing his transformation from a man of science to a man of faith (or perhaps a hybrid of both), says he’ll do it.

Jacob takes him to a stream, utters some Latin, and has him drink. Bam – he’s been Protector’d! Was it just me or was there was a look in Jack’s eyes of a rush knowledge hitting him? Now he’s off to the magic cave to protect it. A cave which apparently was very close to where he was originally spat out onto the Island. Does that mean he was intended to be the Protector all along?

On Island – My Glock Goes Pop, Pop, Pop

We finally get back to the adventures of Miles, Ben, and Richard. They just reached Dharmaville. Miles walks over Alex’s grave and hears something strange but we aren’t privy to it (could be important?) and then we are in Ben’s secret room o’ suits and C4. Just then they hear a rustling in the kitchen. Apparently Zoe was hungry for a snack. Then Widmore joins them and Ben gets really agitated.

They posture a little and then Zoe reports that Evil Locke is here. Ben gives them a place to hide and he and Richard go out to meet him. Miles runs. Fast. Where to Miles? Richard, still convinced Evil Locke wants him on his team, confidently strides along the grass only to get clobbered by Black Smoke. Ben just calmly sits on his porch sipping a mint julep. Is Richard dead? I hope not cause he deserves a little better death than that. Deaths like that are reserved for nameless Others and mercenaries not Ricardus!

Evil Locke recruits Ben to do his killing and then Ben rats out Widmore. Regardless of how things went down in the secret room I still think Widmore was on Black Shirt’s team all along. Sure he gets blasted by Ben but I think that’s because Ben was acting as a wildcard finally taking his revenge on Widmore. Whatever he whispered to Evil Locke proved that he was in cahoots I just wish I knew what was said.

Anyways so Ben says he’s ready to go kill the next victims and Evil Locke says he’s going to destroy the Island which kinda doesn’t work for that whole promise he made to Ben to give him the Island if he helped him. Also Desmond has mysteriously gotten out of the well. Who got him out? Miles? A waterlogged Frank???
Theoryland

To be honest I don’t have a clue as to how this is all going to end so I only have a couple theories this week.

- Desmond turned the Hatch fail safe key and now he has become the Island fail safe key. Either Evil Locke wants to throw him into the magic cave to destroy the Island or Evil Locke will start the process of destroying the Island and Desmond will have to sacrifice himself again by throwing himself into the magic cave to stop it.

- Alternaverse is all going to come to a head at the Widmore’s party featuring Drive Shaft.

- Super out there theory – Jack is going to get his throat sliced on the Island. Maybe he’ll even die and somebody else will have to become the Protector.

- Even more out there? Series ends with Evil Locke destroying the Island. That’s why it is sunk in the alternaverse.
