Click your heels three times, and say, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” And then realize that being home will SUCK if you are one of the Oceanic 6.
That was a pretty intense episode, and yes, we finally got some answers. I almost cried (almost because my husband would have rolled his eyes at me if I had) twice. Let’s discuss what happened:
1. The episode picks up where last season ended, with Jack and Kate meet outside the airport and he tries to convince her that they “need to go back.” Jack still has the horrible beard (which I would describe in detail if it didn’t remind me of something very disgusting). They discuss the obituary and reveal that it was “Jeremy Bentham.” Did you fall for that red herring? I almost did, but I thought it would be too obvious if Ben were to go by Bentham.
2. It has been 3 years since they left the island.
3. Holy Walt! Clearly there was no way they could have Walt appear on the island again as he looks about 20 now. When he visits Hurley, he says he expected the O6 to visit him but they never did, except for Bentham. Hurley said he did it to protect the people still on the island.
4. Top Sawyer nickname for the night: “Kenny Rogers”
5. On the beach – Juliet keeps her word (unlike someone else who likes to play martyr) that she will make sure everyone gets off the island . . . only to be left with a bottle of Dharma Scotch and a half naked, glistening Sawyer.
6. Best zinger of the night goes to Rose – “Who told you you could eat those peanuts?” Miles – “May I eat these peanuts?” Rose – “You’re very dire.”
7. Miles wants to stay on the island. Why? He also reveals that Charlotte should want to stay after she has “spent so much time trying to get back here.” Charlotte reveals to puppy-love Daniel that she’s still trying to find “where she was born.”
8. Does anyone else find Keamy strangely sexy in a villainous-evil way?
9. THIS WEEK IN LOST LITERATURE: Though it was not overt, the explosion of the freighter was definitely parallel with The Stand, which the writers have cited as one of their favorite books.
10. IF YOU WEREN’T TEARY, YOU HAVE NO SOUL MOMENT: When Jin comes out of the freighter door just in time to see the helicopter fly away . . . and then was blown to bits. Poor Sun – she was quite a convincing screamer.
11. Kate makes a deal with the Others to save Ben in exchange for passage off the island. I was wondering why in the hell Kate would help Ben.
12. So here is my biggest question – AFTER ALL HIS MARTYR-LIKE TALK, HOW COULD JACK JUST GET ON THE HELICOPTER AND LEAVE? That explains his future-self mantra, “We need to go back!” He totally abandoned all those people.
13. Orchid Station –
-- Dr. Edward Halifax (aka Dr. Marvin Candle) explains on the video that they are experimenting w/ space and time.
-- The pod is not “the magic box,” according to Ben. But it does seem to be under that pod somewhere.
-- The tape malfunctions before Locke can see what happened to 15.
14. MOST HEROIC MOMENT OF THE NIGHT: Sawyer jumps from the copter. What do you think he whispered to Kate? I still think it is to find his daughter. We see all his paternal instincts with Aaron. His arrival at the beach also wins him the SEXIEST MOMENT OF THE NIGHT.
15. Is Michael dead? Christian (who I still argue is God) tells him, “You can go now.” I think he means from this world.
16. Sun blames two men for her husband’s death – her father and JACK. What does she want from Widmore? And when she says, “We’re not the only ones who left the island” is she referring to Desmond? Is she going to help Widmore find him? Or Ben? Or “Jeremy”?
17. THIS WEEK IN BIBLE STUDIES: Ok, folks, this is key. Jeremiah:
According to the book, the Prophet Jeremiah was a son of a priest from Anatot in the land of Benjamin, who lived in the last years of the Kingdom of Judah just prior to, during, and immediately after the siege of Jerusalem, culminating in the destruction of Solomon's Temple and the raiding of the city by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. According to the book, for a quarter century prior to the destruction, Jeremiah repeatedly issued prophecies predicting God's forthcoming judgment; advocating the Jews put down their idols and repent in hopes of turning away God's judgment and fulfilling their destiny as his chosen people. Jeremiah's fellow Jews refused to heed his warnings and did not repent. His efforts failed and he witnessed the destruction of everything he knew, the exile of the Jewish elite to Babylonia, and the fleeing of the remainder to Egypt.
The book of Jeremiah depicts a remarkably introspective prophet, a prophet struggling with and often overwhelmed by the role into which he has been thrust. Jeremiah alternates efforts to warn the people with pleas to God for mercy until he is ordered to "pray no more for this people" -- and then sneaks in a few extra pleas between the lines. He engages in extensive performance art, walking about in the streets with a yoke about his neck and engaging in other efforts to attract attention. He is taunted and put into jail. At one point he is thrown into a pit to die. He is often bitter about his experience, and expresses the anger and frustration he feels. (wikipedia.com)
JEREMIAH 2:4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob . . .
18. YOU ARE ALSO WITHOUT A SOUL IF YOU WEREN’T MOVED BY: Penny and Desmond’s reunion. Do you really think they got their happy ending?
19. KEY QUESTION OF THE NIGHT: How in the world does a baby survive all that little Aaron was put through? Could it be he is the grandson of God? Hmmmm . . .
20. So what do you think about the Time Loop Theory now? The writers were tricky with the whole thing . . . first the video kind of confirmed it, then Ben debunked it, but then Ben moved the island.
21. Speaking of moving the island . . . isn’t that the noise we’ve been hearing since episode one? Is it possible the island has moved before during the Losties’ stay?
22. Hugo plays checkers with Eko. Apparently they couldn’t convince the actor to make a “ghost” appearance.
23. Claire tells Kate not to dare take Aaron back to that place.
24. HOLY CRAP MOMENT: Ben enters the funeral parlor, confirming that it is not he who is dead. They discuss Jack’s encounter w/ Bentham, in which Bentham blamed Jack for “some very bad things that happened on the island” after they left. Ben tells Jack that they all need to go if they want to get back to the island including the body of . . . LOCKE!
25. IN REVIEW (Add if you can):
--Answers –
-Locke was in the coffin
-how they got off the island
-how long it has been since they left
-why they lie.
-the noise
--Remaining Questions
- Where is Claire?
- Four-toed statue?
- Who is Richard?
- Who is Jacob?
- Why are people cured on the island?
- What do those damned whispers say?
- Could Kate be more annoying? What about Jack?
--New Questions:
-How did Locke get off the island? (Clearly, as the new “Ben,” Richard probably taught him how to “travel.”)
-Does Locke recognize Richard from earlier in his life?
-Did Locke really kill himself?
-Why does Miles want to stay on the island?
-When was Charlotte on the island before?
-What happened to the people on the raft/boat that were headed toward the freighter? My boy Daniel?
-What bad things happened on the island after the O6 left?
In case you missed it, right before the last segment of the show there was a commercial for Octagon Global Recruiting. This is a Lost online experience. I will probably casually participate, and if anything of interest is revealed, you know I will post it here.
Until next season,

There's No Place Like Home
The season is winding down. Only two more hours of Lost this season, and there’s no episode next week. So make the most of this edition of Ramblings . . .
1. Copter Parents:
· The Oceanic 6 arrive in Honolulu. They agree to meet with the press.
· The story is that the plane crashed in the ocean, they survived on “floatation devices,” got to an island, Membata.
· Membata means “doubt”
· Poor old Kate (gag) had no one waiting for her. Boo frickin hoo.
· Sayid also thought no one was waiting for him . . . but along came Nadia. YAY!
2. Strangest detail of the Oceanic 6 – Kate tells reporters that Aaron is just over 5 weeks old. That means that either they have traveled back in time or Aaron is not Aaron. I would say it is time travel . . .
3. El Donk told me about the time loop theory a while ago, but I just had to time to check it out. There’s a long, very detailed theory on the web, some of which makes a lot of sense, some of which I disagree. Here’s the gist of it:
a. The Island has mysterious magnet force, which was discovered by Alvar Hanso and the crew of the Black Rock. This spurred the creation of the Dharma Initiative.
b. The Dharma Initiative created a time machine.
c. Ben’s mother was a part of the initial group (I don’t agree with this theory). She got fed up with the group, seeing that it wasn’t providing anything useful to society, traveled back in time and had Ben. The cost of this was her life. (This doesn’t jive if Ben and Locke are indeed brothers).
d. The DI experimented initially with animals – that explains why the Polar Bears are in different places around the world and at different times.
e. Richard and Jacob were a part of the initial group, but when DI decided that time travel was a bad idea, they split off and formed The Others. Dick recruited Ben because he knew about his mom.
f. When they travel back in time, they do not change age. However, anything that happened in the “future” to their bodies does not apply. This is why Locke and Rose are cured. It would also explain why they cannot die.
g. Fate will not allow any major changes to the course of time . . . this is why the women can’t have babies. If they somehow do, the price is their lives.
4. I think it is a combo of Sci-Fi Time Travel Story and a big ole Allegory.
5. The Hurley-Burley – Hugo immediately tells everyone that he does not want his money or anything bought with the money. He believes this will keep him safe. Too bad the speedometer of the reconstructed car doesn’t agree.
6. This week in Lost Literature: We revisit the Wizard of Oz; “There’s No Place Like Home.” This, of course, fits with the whole time travel/alternate reality idea.
7. Sawyer had some zingers last night; it was nice to see James back in the game. “Genghis” – Miles. “You don’t get to die alone.” – Jack.
8. EXPLOSIVES: Do you think Jin is going to be blown to bits? How is Sun going to get off that freighter with Aaron? Does this mean my Des is going to die? He better not! What about Michael? Does the whole not dying thing mean that if he explodes he will somehow regenerate? That would be cool. Who rigged up the boat to explode? Was it Michael?
9. THIS WEEK IN BIBLE STUDIES: Not too much this week – but an interesting biblical fact – Aaron was 123 when he died. 1-23.
10. BADASS OF THE WEEK: Sun for putting the smackdown on Daddy. She says, “Two people are responsible for my husband’s death, and you are one of them.” Who was the other?
11. THE I-CALLED-IT AWARD: Goes to Your Loyal Lost Loser. I said Jack knows that Aaron is his nephew. Do you think Ms. Littleton knows that Aaron is her grandson?
12. Ben’s best line: “John, I told you, I always have a plan.” Runner up: “That’s a 15 year old cracker.”
13. One of the gunmen w/ Keamy is Ishmael, who Ben told Sayid had killed Nadia.
14. BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT: “JESUS IS NOT A WEAPON” HA!
15. Who does Ben communicate with via reflection? Was it Richard? Is that why he surrounds Jack and Sawyer in the jungle? Where did all these Others come from? Could it be the future?
I stayed up way past my bedtime last night just for you, so I’m sure I a missing some stuff. Don’t hide in the jungle!
Next week on Lost Loser Ramblings: There’s no episode next week, but I will be posting a special surprise I have been working on. Hint: It has to do w/ names.
Namaste,
Your Loyal Lost Loser

Cabin Fever
That was a tense episode! Poor Locke. His whole life spent being beaten down . . .
1. This was the first flashback in a while. The only other one was the parallel episode with Jin’s flashback and Sun’s flashforward. Do you think there is significance to these two characters being the only ones w/ flashbacks?
2. What we learn about Lil Locke:
* He was the smallest baby to survive at that hospital up until his birth.
* His mother, Emily, was having an affair with a man “twice her age.” Anthony Cooper/Tom Sawyer did not seem that much older than Locke’s mom when we met them last season. Is he really Locke’s father? Or could it be someone else?
*Richard Alpert is present at Locke’s birth. It seems the island has been waiting for him to be ready for his whole life.
*John draws a picture of Smokey as a little boy.
*Richard indicates that John has owned items before. Perhaps in a previous life? He is disappointed by Locke’s choice of the knife, but he doesn’t give up on him entirely . . .
* John chooses the vial of sand (island?), the compass, and the knife. He does not choose a mitt, The Book of Laws, the comic.
*John fights his destiny by rejecting the invitation to Science Camp at Mittelos Labaratories. He is beginning to question science.
*He has a Geronimo Jackson poster in his locker.
3. THIS WEEK IN LOST LITERATURE: This one is for Rob and Cyndi – Horace Goodspeed is living the Myth of Sissyphus. He is endlessly cutting down trees.
Great Line #1: “Someone’s been making all that ranch dressing that you like.” -- Locke to Hurley
5. On the boat --
--It would appear that Sayid and/or Des ratted out Michael to Martin Keamy.
--Michael cannot be killed, once again. Again I ask, how does the island decide who it wants to keep alive? What do these people have in common – Locke, Michael, Rose, Ben (?), Claire, Christian.
-- Keamy has a secret file that tells where Ben might be going. Is this a reference to moving the island?
-- Has Keamy made himself a human bomb?
-- They kill the doc who washed ashore previously. That means the island is in the future.
--Des will not leave the boat now that he thinks Penny is coming to get him.
-- Frank tries to avoid going back to the island because he doesn’t want any part of the torching. He gives in because of the crazy-ass Keamy killing people.
--Keamy is apparently on a mission the Capt knew nothing about.
6. THIS WEEK IN BIBLICAL STUDIES:
--When John is born, his mother cries out, “His name is John.” This is a direct reference to John the Baptist’s birth. Does this mean that John will be responsible for “baptizing” the savior of the island? Would that be Jack? Or maybe Sawyer?
7. In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle . . .
--Ben indicates that John is now taking his place as the protector of the island.
--John finds the cabin after digging through the bodies and finding the blueprints.
--When he enters the cabin, he finds not Jacob but (gasp here) Christian! And even more (bigger gasp) Claire! Christian informs him that:
--Aaron is where he needs to be (w/Sawyer)
--He needs to move the island. How will he do this?
--So why is Claire content to be w/ Christian? She seems like she might be hypnotized or something to me.
Do you think Christian is good? Do you think Christian is God?
9. Hurley’s magical powers – he can keep a candy bar in his pocket while running through the jungle, and it doesn’t melt.
10. Greatest line of the night: “Destiny is a Fickle Bitch.” Ben.
11. In a scene that we saw before, Locke is in physical rehab. His nurse explains that he needs to keep trying. Only this time, it is revealed that Matthew Abadon is that nurse. He believes in miracles. He went on a walkabout. He experiences a miracle. He tells Locke that when they meet again, “You’ll owe me.” Spooooooky!
12. Frank drops a sat phone on the beach. Jack thinks it means they should follow them. I think it is for them to be able to hide.
13. Horace was the guy that brought Ben and his dad to the island.
So, who is a bigger badass? Ben or Martin Reamy? Looking forward to your comments. The preview looked awesome, by the way.
Namaste,

Something Nice Back Home
Happy Friday!
While I did do a fair share of vomiting in my mouth last night from being exposed to way too much Kate, I thought it was a great episode, even though I think it may have raised more questions than answers (which I know some of you just love).
1. A little parenting advice for Kate – I don’t know about you, but I don’t spend nearly as much time as Kate does running around in my underwear. I mean, seriously, that boy is going to have some serious Oedipal problems if she doesn’t put some pants on soon!
2. Why Rose and Bernard Rule:
a. “Watch your tone, Red”
b. Rose raises the best question of the night – “Why is Jack sick? You don’t get sick here; you get well.” I have been wondering the same thing for months – why did Ben get sick? Why do some people die and some don’t?
c. Bernard has mad-dentist skills – he can put a man out like nobody’s business.
3. Timeline clarification – Jack’s previous flashforwards (including the finale of last season) have been taking place, for the most part, AFTER tonight’s episode. When he meets Kate at the airport, they have broken up.
4. Where did Kate get all that money?
5. For Evan – my vote for Chuck Norris badass award: a tie – Jin and Sawyer. Jin with his threat to break all of Daniel’s fingers, Jin with his “I’m the guy who’s gonna put a boot in your face” threat to Miles if he doesn’t observe the “restraining order.”
6. Speaking of Sawyer – he is sooo falling for Claire. Too bad she’s gonna die any minute now.
7. THIS WEEK IN LOST LITERATURE: Alice in Wonderland. We’ve encountered this before, especially in “Through the Looking Glass.” Jack reads a key passage – “Who in the world am I? That’s the great puzzle.” And isn’t that what everyone is really discovering on the island?
8. Hurley Time: Poor, poor Hugo! He believes that he is really dead; that all the Oceanic 6 are really dead. What do you think?
9. A message from Charlie: “You’re not supposed to raise him, Jack.” “Someone’s gonna visit you, too.” Why isn’t Jack supposed to raise Aaron? Is Kate? The husband had a good theory – SAWYER is supposed to raise Aaron (as he is the one who finds him). What do you think?
10. Speaking of Aaron – THIS WEEK IN BIBLE STUDIES: Let’s revisit Aaron. Aaron is the brother of MOSES. He is the one who gave in to the people and started worshipping the Golden Calf, the sin of idolatry. Perhaps this is why it is so important that the right person raise him. Here’s my thought – Jack has made himself a martyr. Throughout the episode, he keeps talking about how he “Saved” or is going to “save” everyone. Perhaps he is the false idol? Perhaps that is why Aaron cannot be raised by him.
11. Why didn’t Smoky kill the soldiers from last week?
12. What is Kate doing for Sawyer? Why does Jack give a poo? It’s not like he is there. Could she be finding his daughter for him? Also very important, Sawyer CHOSE to stay on the island.
13. Jack seems to know that he is Aaron’s uncle, don’t you think?
14. HOLY CRAP MOMENT: Claire wakes up to find Christian holding Aaron. She calls him “Dad.” Which is odd, since she hated him and only discovered he was her father right before he died.
15. Is Christian supposed to be God?
16. Miles can hear the murder of Danielle and Carl. He also reveals that he “didn’t sign up for this.” Miles and Lapidus seem to be caught unknowingly caught up in something (love Lapidus!), while Daniel and Charlotte seem in on the whole thing.
17. Best line of the night: Miles – “I would have followed them, but I have a restraining order.”
Gotta get back to planning prom . . . yes, you read that right.
Namaste,

14. HOLY CRAP MOMENT: Claire wakes up to find Christian holding Aaron. She calls him “Dad.” Which is odd, since she hated him and only discovered he was her father right before he died.
15. Is Christian supposed to be God?
16. Miles can hear the murder of Danielle and Carl. He also reveals that he “didn’t sign up for this.” Miles and Lapidus seem to be caught unknowingly caught up in something (love Lapidus!), while Daniel and Charlotte seem in on the whole thing.
17. Best line of the night: Miles – “I would have followed them, but I have a restraining order.”
Gotta get back to planning prom . . . yes, you read that right.
Namaste,
Your Loyal Lost Loser
