Then she is a bit of a skank and then "we are not together" beyotchie on the plane.<BR/><BR/>I was reading everybody's comments and you all got my head spinning! I never thought about the 316 and the religion connection! <BR/><BR/>Then Ben tying up loose ends? I wasn't sure what was going on. Then I read Rhea's comment and I remembered his revenge against Whitmore. Crap! Not Penny!<BR/><BR/>You guys have me spinning round, round, round!!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096758413292331253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-59319104833552328382009-02-22T00:39:00.000-05:002009-02-22T00:39:00.000-05:00Ok, so I'm an uninvited guest, but I gotta jump in...Ok, so I'm an uninvited guest, but I gotta jump in :) Only because I've been reading now for a few weeks and SO sucked in by this season.<BR/><BR/>Totally late to the party here and possibly way already discussed, but I happened to be reading a magazine the other day that talked about Jeremy Bentham. The name Locke used while off-island. He's an 18th century philosopher who believed that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should govern our judgement of every institution and action. Interesting pseudonym, no?<BR/><BR/>And no one's mentioned the flash that brought them to the island. Was it an actual crash? Did some of them disappear from the flight? Why so different from the original arrival -- because not everyone was there so it's unpredictable?<BR/><BR/>Wasn't Jin with Sawyer and crew the last we saw him? Why was he by himself in the Dharma gear? Why was he toting a rifle and so paranoid?<BR/><BR/>When watching the turbulence, didn't you feel bad for that poor stewardess being thrown around the plane? Knowing what was coming, didn't you want one of the Lost crew to tell her to buckle up and sit down?<BR/><BR/>I LOVED that Hurley bought up all the seats and wasn't letting anyone else on the plane. SO totally Hurley.<BR/><BR/>I missed the marina significance with Ben, but now I'm sad.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of sad, I was sooooo sad that Grandpa didn't make it out. He was trying to run away to somewhere better, and if I were Jack, I so would have taken him with me. He's going to get kicked out the next time he tries anyway.... but I totally agree that we'll see him again. Don't think I can quite get with it that this is Old Jack though.<BR/><BR/>I was SO mad when this episode ended... definitely a huge and well-done episode!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-66758652487313789502009-02-21T07:46:00.000-05:002009-02-21T07:46:00.000-05:00It took me a couple of days to finally have the ti...It took me a couple of days to finally have the time to sit down and read this review. Twice. Well done, Lula!! <BR/><BR/>Thoughts:<BR/>-I was also waiting for Locke to wake up, I was just certain that he was faking. All part of an act to get them back together and return to the island. <BR/><BR/>-Does Kate know that Jack is Aaron's uncle? Does anyone other than Claire's mom? <BR/><BR/>-I definitely recognized the "new guy" from an earlier episode, although there isn't one listed on IMDB. Maybe an uncredited cameo? <BR/><BR/>-I suspected that Ben had been to visit Penny and Des got in the way. <BR/><BR/>-Jin? In a Dharma suit?<BR/><BR/>-Are they split up, like the original plane was, half on one side of the island and half on the other?<BR/><BR/>So many questions.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-456596694387627162009-02-20T08:36:00.000-05:002009-02-20T08:36:00.000-05:00I think that my husband may have been the only one...I think that my husband may have been the only one to notice that the 'New Dude' was also an old dude.

Now just go hug and kiss your family and consider it a day well spent. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I'm so going to have to watch this epi again. I am not as wise as some of my fellow authors. I consider it an honor to be grouped with such intelligence. I'm totally not worthy.<BR/><BR/>There have definitely been quite a few religious undertones going through the whole show. Claire with the virgin Mary, Eko being the awesome redeemed soul he was, baptizing Aaron, Man of Faith vs. Man of Science.....<BR/><BR/>Okay, the thing I don't get it why would that anagram be "reincarnation".....Is anyone ready for that headache yet? I want some theories on that. <BR/><BR/>This was definitely a great episode. I have to admit, when it first started I was a little annoyed by Eloise's explaining 4.5 years of mysteries in like a minute, but the rest of the epi made up for it.<BR/><BR/>Heather, I like your theorie on the shoes. There was something very special about the way Jack was doing that. He was humbled....and I was soooooo waiting for Locke to resurrect right there, too, but I'm glad the show didn't do what I expected. The writers are just good like that.<BR/><BR/>Time for some exedrin tension headache.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600383182524144171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-80760079580122783972009-02-19T17:14:00.000-05:002009-02-19T17:14:00.000-05:00Lula, this was so worth the wait.

I was loving the biblical references, though. Go on with your bad selves, Lost writers!<BR/><BR/>I, too, loved how Jack put so much care into placing the shoes on John's feet. I was like you, Lula; I was waiting for the scary part. The music, the silence; it was almost too much to bear. For a second I thought Jack was going to be locked in that freezer...<BR/><BR/>"We're not going to Guam, are we?". Def my fav line of this one.<BR/><BR/>One thing I kept wondering: why didn't anyone say a word to Ben about his bloody face??? Esp Jack, who was sitting right next to him and is a doctor, for God's sake!<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna watch it again tonight. Michelle and I both said it today: this was the best episode yet.

My favorite line of the entire episode was Lapidus' "We're not going to Guam are we." Loved it!<BR/><BR/>I'm really curious as to what role the "new guy" will play.<BR/><BR/>Ooh and remember the Ajira bottle of water Sawyer found on the beach during one of the flashes??!!<BR/><BR/>Seeing Jin in the Dharma jumper makes me think they are all back in time and maybe this is when Daniel tells Charlotte not to come to the island. And also maybe its why we saw Daniel in the first episode of this season. Aaah so many possiblities!!Miss Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852762627088496048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-15485577333755208112009-02-19T15:53:00.000-05:002009-02-19T15:53:00.000-05:00So here's my whole deal on the shoe thing. Let's ...So here's my whole deal on the shoe thing. Let's rewind for a moment when Jack is told that Locke is taking his father's place in the coffin to reinact the first fated flight and so had to have something belonging to Jack's father. <BR/><BR/>So why the shoes??? Why couldn't Jack have found his father's watch, or a pen or something. It had to be shoes because I think that is very spiritually significant. There are so many references to feet being blessed in the Bible. I thought it was interesting that Jack didn't just throw the shoes in the coffin with Locke (as I would've done). But instead he placed them on his feet and tied them up. It was detailed, it was spiritual, it was humbling. <BR/><BR/>I'm sensing a trinity thing going on here. Richard (God), Locke (Jesus), Jacob (Holy Spirit)??? And Jack - a disciple perhaps???<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying it's going to be the crux of the show, but it was loud and clear in last night's episode.<BR/><BR/>Excellent review, as always, Lula!!! <BR/><BR/>Just lots of spirituality.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892293258799500751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696832705566403010.post-49035091704436907592009-02-19T15:50:00.001-05:002009-02-19T15:50:00.001-05:00Narnia references?
