What Kate Does

While I thought I would hate this episode because it was Kate centered, I thoroughly enjoyed yelling at my tv, “What the hell is wrong with you?!!” Seriously, this episode confirmed my hatred of this character (although my understanding is that she is a perfectly nice person in real life).


Island Time:

1. Best lines:
James – “He’s an Iraqi torturer; of course he deserves another go around.”

Miles – “you can see that Hurley’s assumed a leadership position, so that’s great.”

2. All the mean thoughts I had about Kate:
a. Stay away from him, Kate!! Can’t you take a frickin hint?
b. Kate and Jack all googly-eyed. Vomit.
c. “Who do you care about, Kate?” Good question, Jin. Kate sucks!
d. Kate busts in on a private moment. How unlike her to stick her nose in somewhere it doesn’t belong.
e. Kate cries – 8:47 p.m.


3. Thoughts on Smokey/Nemesis
a. Was Christian infected by Nemesis? He was the last dead body delivered to the island. Or was he “infected” perhaps by Jacob? It seems that these entities jump from body to body.
b. Does that also mean that Claire is dead? She seemed a lot like Rousseau, so was Rousseau infected, too? Is it possible that you can be infected but hold on to some ounce of your own soul? Rousseau still had humanity in her; does Claire?
c. Is being claimed what Nemesis has done to Locke, or is it merely an “infection”? In Sayid’s case, he was dead . . .
d. Is Sayid claimed by Nemesis? Or is he claimed by Jacob? I think they were hoping for Jacob but think he is claimed by Nemesis. They were putting down ash in hopes that it would keep Nemesis away, but they believe they weren’t quick enough. I think they may be wrong because . . .
e.Isn’t Nemesis still walking around in Locke? Heading to the temple?

4. Guy accompanying Kate? Waldo? Really? He was a guard she knocked out . . .

5. The torturer is tortured (this has happened before. Danielle also hooked him up and shocked him by the nipples). A test to make sure he is not Smokey? Lied to him? Sayid doesn’t know what is happening to him? Or is he hiding it?

6. SADDEST MOMENT: “I made her stay cause I didn’t want to be alone. Some of us are meant to be alone.”

7. Dogen – Stay away from those I am in charge of. Brought here, just like everyone else. You know what I mean.
8. “I need to find Claire.” It’s all about Claire . . . or Aaron . . . After all, Dogen tells Jack, “IT HAPPENED TO YOUR SISTER!!” The truth will be revealed to Jack soon . . .

9. Waldo can’t kill Jin, because “he may be one of them” Jin is saved by . . . CLAIRE OF THE JUNGLE!

World 2
1. Love that dude who plays the mechanic . . . China Beach anyone?

2. Claire was planning to meet the adoptive parents, who ditched her at the airport. What up with that? Husband ditched wife; that sucks. Same couple she was planning to give up in crash reality.

3. Kate almost delivers the baby . . . again.


4. WTF MOMENT: What is Ethan doing in LA? Is he still an agent of the island? He’s going by Goodspeed, which was the name of Juliet’s lover, if you recall. He also ironically says he does not want to stick Claire with unnecessary needles . . . he had no qualms on the island, after all.

5. THIS WEEK IN BIBLE STUDIES: Aaron even off the island. Doesn’t know why she called him that. A little reminder of who Aaron was . . .
· The brother of Moses
· Started the worship of the Golden Calf, but was forgiven by God.
· Aaron was appointed directly by God to be the first high priest. He and his sons were consecrated to continue the priesthood through time (Leviticus 8 and 9).
· Never allowed to enter the promised land . . . hmmmm . . .

6. Kate asks Claire if she would believe that she was innocent. Was she in this world?


Next week looks BA! Can’t wait.

Namaste,
LLL

That guy Kate knocked out (I think his name is Waldo?) is a main character on Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Apparently he's friends with one of the producers. And there's your fun fact of the day.

Okay. Lots to say:
1. I was reading a comment (somewhere else Kate, but only to contribute to your blog!) They said something about the people who don't age, don't leave footprints either. Anyone know this for fact?
2.Okay, so if the bomb worked, the parallel life where the plane actually lands would fall true. But Kate is still a darn idiot. Even in her "bad ass-iest" state, she is not bad ass. I just about peed my pants when she said, "I can be convincing when I want to be." Yeah, right.
3. Doesn't Jack know Claire is his sister? Didn't Claire's mom say something at the memorial for his dad last season?
4. I bet the husband who left the adoptive wife will turn out to be someone like Ben or someone significant.
5. Jack not being able to make a decision is getting a little old. I liked when Jack could call a shot and it mean something. Everyone crying is getting a bit old too. Where is the Climax? (watch it Kate!!) Where is the big "Gather Army and Get the Bad Guys" moment? Also, I am so tired of the silence when quetions are asked. Like Jack asking what is in the pill. Just answer the Darn Question Pony Tail!!! What are you torturing Sayid for? Just answer the Darn Question Pony Tail!!
6. What is up with a person choosing to have a baby or not? Why did Claire get to choose to have a baby or not that day? That seemed very medically irresponsible (spoken from a mom of 2.) What mom would say, "Yeah! Let's dive right in to 16 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing!" Woo Hoo!
7. Where did geeky scientist go and what is he working on?
8. Still confused, why on earth is Desmond on the plane??? And where is Penny again? And their kid Charlie?
9. Claire is going to have complications and Juliet will end up delivering Claire's baby (just a prediction!).
10. My vote for best line was Miles, "If you need us we will be over here in the food court." I love Miles. He is my new Fav.

Uggh!! I just need answers!!

I hope they plan a "recap" episode going through all of it from start to finish. Otherwise, I am just going to have to watch this series over again so I can pick up on things once I know how it all ends!

Goodspeed was not the name of Juliet's lover, I believe it was Goodwin.

Also, the guy who got knocked out is Aldo, not Waldo (thank you IMDB!) He also is Mac from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It was funny not seeing him in a...funny? role.

Crazy episode though! I wonder how Claire will play out.

Just a few confusing things I want to point out:

The Cabin. "Jacob's People" burnt it, and if you remember, it was surrounded by a line of ash (you see this during one of the earlier seasons, I think when Hurley finds it.)

We also say Christian, and Claire inside the Cabin, as well as Locke saying he heard Jacob (this is before Nemesis takes him over!) So are Christian and Claire tools of Jacob? But then again, his "people" burnt it down, so maybe they aren't? And the ash isn't to keep them in because we obviously see Christian and Claire roaming around the jungle.

So WTF is going on?!

I hope that made sense, I got lost in my ramblings. No pun intended. :-P

Who are Jacob and The Man in Black?
Jacob could be either God or the Archangel Michael. The man in black is Satan-Lucifer-Ezekiel, angel Lucifer was sent by God to the garden of Eden. Lucifer then told all the angels he would return to heaven and rise above God and all his stars(angels) and would be God. He and his angels tried to overtake heaven but Michael and his angels defeated them and God then cast him out of heaven to the Garden of Eden as a serpent where he spread evil amoung men. It is writen that he will try to overtake heaven again at the time of the great tribulation. Just a thought; Vern
