If you are anything like me these were your comments during LOST last night:
1. Stay on the boat Desmond! Desmond, DO NOT LEAVE PENNY!
2. Yeah right. A shaggy haired toothpick of a guy with a black string tie really looks like someone from the US military. (Thoughts echoed later in the show by cute petite British girl with rifle.)
3. Aaaaaahhh, he named his son Charlie. That's sweet.
4. They raised a baby on a boat!!????!!!!
5. *gasp* Whidmore!!????!!!!
6. *gasp* Charlotte!!????!!!!!
7. A hydrogen bomb? That explains the giant concrete hatches and fertility issues, I guess.
So here is what we know now:
It is currently 1954 and there is a small group of "Others", led at least partially by Richard, living on the island. The US military has been storming the island, I assume in an attempt to retrieve their H-Bomb. Dharma has not entered the picture yet as far as I can tell.
I have a feeling that Whidmore, knowing of the island's power......when he is booted off for insubordination or leaves or whatever.......creates Dharma and sends them to the island to discover all of it's possibilites. Or it could be that Whidmore has spent 50 years looking for the island and just found it for the first time with that freighter and Dharma is led by someone else.
I have no great new theories after last nights episode except for this:
Ben told John that he was to become the new leader of the island. Could it be that the island has therefore sent John back in time to a time before Ben arrives so that John can assume his leadership before Ben ever has the opportunity to?
What year did Ben arrive on the island? Late 60s, early 70s? Could it be that Whidmore was a leader on the island and was displaced by Ben the same way that Ben is being displaced by John?
Theresa Whats-Her-Name in the coma looked a whole lot like Charlotte....and so did the girl in the picture that Desmond found in Daniel's old lab. Are they one in the same? I think so. Remember how Desmond would pass out on the boat while he was time travelling around Scotland?
I really liked this episode, but I think it may be the first one in the history of the show that didn't have either Jack or Kate in it. Weird. It was nice to be on the island almost the whole time though. I enjoy the island story lines better than all of the suffering going on back on the mainland.
(Strange that the people with indoor plumbing, refrigeration and fast food are the ones suffering, but hey, Ben warned them not to go, right?)

My thoughts ...
ReplyDelete* I loved that they named the baby Charlie - kiddo really liked that too, b/c Charlie was his favorite character. I didn't mind that they raised him on a boat, but I kept thinking about down the road (what happens when he gets a bit older? Can't have a kid living on a boat forever ...).
* I wasn't worried that Desmond left the boat, but when I heard that Widmore funded Faraday's research I got a little panicky.
* Woman in picture & woman in coma - they are the same. Kiddo says she looks like Charlotte, but I don't see it.
* I too like the action on the island much better than the drama back in the real world.
* WIDMORE?! On the ISLAND?! Meeting Locke?! And he just killed his "pal" in the jungle ... nice friend.
See, I thought that the woman in the coma looked like Theresa (was that her name? The blond girl with the gun who took Daniel to see the bomb). And Daniel said she looked a lot like someone he knew.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thought the girl in the photo looks a lot like Libby? I assume it's Theresa (the girl in the time coma or whatever), but it still looks like her. Ellie is the woman with the gun, and I'm thinking that's Mrs. Faraday. Daniel and Penny could be half siblings!
ReplyDeleteEllie could be short for Eloise, which is the name of Faraday's rat ... AND (if I recall) also the first name of Mrs. Hawking ... maybe she is Faraday's mom ...
