This is the end, beautiful friend, the end! My only friend, the end! -- Doors shout out to Rob (worst band ever!)
PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR – Sunday is LOST marathon – there’s a retrospective that starts at 6:00 pm; then the episode begins at 8:00pm and ends at 10:30. It is a damn good thing that the school year is almost over – otherwise, I might feel guilty for the waste of space I am destined to be on Monday.
Anyway, sadly, we are almost at the end. I’m guessing some of you are feeling discontent with the few answers we’ve gotten, but I have to tell you that I think I am ok with some ambiguity at the end. And I do think we’re going to get a good number of answers by the end of the evening Sunday. Even if we don’t, this has been the best show ever . . . and I think I may suffer psychological damage without it to obsess over.
My observations and analysis:
Alternaworld:
1. Cut on Jack’s neck is bleeding again as he looks in the mirror. The island is calling him.
2. David’s big blue eyes are a giveaway – Juliet has got to be his mother.
3. One big happy family – there’s got to be something to the fact that Claire and Jack are together in alternaworld. Somehow they’ve got to get together on the island. Maybe she will be his companion . . . or maybe she has to go back and raise Aaron so that Kate can stay and be his companion.
4. Oceanic calls. They found the coffin. But it’s not Oceanic . . . Des on the prowl again!
5. Des claims his acitons against Locke are about “Trying to get him to let go . . .” Ben is remembering . . . getting punched in the face will jar your memory. And he’s getting his snarky attitude back.
6. Concert at the museum . . . the one where David will be performing.
7. Des turns himself in . . . to get to Kate? How does he know how to find everyone?
8. Alex tells Ben, “You look like Napoleon.” Meets Danielle (I thought she wasn’t going to be on the show this season! Yay! And she looks good . . . no mom pants). Alex’s father died when she was two, so apparently they were NOT on the island. Are Ben and Danielle going to get it on?
9. Locke returns to Jack’s office. “Maybe this happened for a reason” “Mistaking coincidence for Fate” Asks Jack to fix him. CHOICE!
10. Vomit worthy moment#1: Kate expects Sawyer to let her go. Man, does stomach vile burn!
11. Des makes them promise to do something when he sets them free. Ana Lucia!!! Hurley (he remembers Ana Lucia; apparently, he remembers everything) “She’s not coming with us?” “She’s not ready yet?” Does that mean that someday she will be?
It’s Lostapalooza – they’re all going to a concert Sunday! Do you suppose Geronimo Jones will make a guest appearance?
Islandland:
1. Flashback: Jack’s stitching Kate, just like she did for him in the premiere.
2. Shout out to Ji Yeon by Kate. Poor baby.
3. Vomit worthy moment #2: Kate all touchy with Sawyer on the island, too. And just after Jack saved her ass. WTF.
4. Ben, Miles, and Richard are back. Going back for C4 (is this before or after the sub incident?) It appears that no one knows the plane is already a goner.
5. Richard buried Alex. Miles senses her. This sets Ben off, though I think it should have made him a little more beholden to Richard. But, maybe, Ben is not as he appears (more on this . . . )
6. “It’s where I was told I could summon the monster. That was before I realized it was summoning me.” This tells me that Ben is not just giving in to the dark side; I think he has a plan . . .
7. The plumbing still works in Dharmaville. How bout that!
8. Widmore tells Zoe to sink the freighter. Widmore claims that he had the plane rigged with C4 before. Claims to have been visited by Jacob. Do you believe him?
9. James asks a good question: “If [F]Locke wants Desmond dead, why doesn’t he just kill him himself?”
10. Hurley sees little Jacob. Lil Jacob wants the ashes back. Why? “When the fire burns out, you’ll never see me again . . . We’re very close to the end, Hugo.”
11. Ben decides to wait and face down Flocke. Richard thinks all Flocke wants is him . . . wishful thinking, I say. But upon further reflection, now I’m thinking that perhaps Ben believes he is the candidate to replace Flocke!!!
12. Did he just hurl Richard to death? That was way too easy. That can’t possibly be how they are ending Richard. If it were, wouldn’t Smokey have done it a long time ago?
13. WTF Moment #1: Flocke offers Ben the island in return for killing people. Ben gives him up so easily . . . or is this part of his master plan?
14. HOLY CRAP: Flocke slices Zoe’s neck. “You told her not to talk to me and that made her useless.” Interesting . . .
15. Flocke threatens Penny. CW claims he brought Des back because of his immunity to electromagnetism. “It was a last resort.”
16. WTF Moment #2: Ben kills CW. His reason: “He doesn’t get to save his daughter.”
17. All Things Jacob:
-- How can everyone see Jacob?
--“Come and sit down and I’ll tell you what they died for. I’ll tell you why I chose them, and why I chose you.”
--Jacob admits his mistake – I’m responsible for the monster. “I made him that way.” ---- James asks, “Why do I got to be punished for your mistake?” Jacob says they are not being punished:
-- “Chose you because you were like me – you were all alone. You needed this place as much as you needed one another”
--Crossed Kate off because she became a mother. “The job is yours if you want it; it’s just chalk”
--CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jacob believes man has Free Will, even though he never really had one.
-- Honestly, I’m still not sure exactly what they died for . . .
18. “I thought that guy had a God-complex before.” Why does Jack volunteer? Does he really feel it is his destiny or does he just figure he has nothing else to live for? How will the Alternaworld play into this decision? How will cute little David play a role?
19. TWIBS: What’s with the water? Communion? Something changes in Jack after he drinks it. “Now you’re like me.”
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:26-28 (NIV)
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." Mark 14:22-24 (NIV)
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." Luke 22:19-20 (NIV)
Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 (NIV)
And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 (NIV)
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:53-54 (NIV)
20. I still think there is humanity somewhere in Flocke: “Why do you bother walking?” “It reminds me that I was human.” Somewhere, deep down inside, he still wants to be human. Is that Locke speaking? If Locke in Alternaworld lets go, will he also be getting rid of Smokey on the island? Could Locke still somehow end up the guardian of the island?
21. Where did Des go? I thought everyone had forgotten him . . .Desmond was a failsafe. Locke wants to use him to destroy the island. I’ve got a feeling (woohoo) that Des is going to be making some HUGE sacrifices . . .
Until Sunday . . .

Couple things before I have to run out. More later.
Mike and I think that the man in black or Flocke is going to be in the coffin that was found. not the dad. "A way to get off the island."
So can we assume that the reason babies can't be carried on the island is because once they become mothers their names get crossed off and they can't be chosen?
