BesixDOUZE! BesixDOUZE! I know many other important things happened in this episode, but this was a blatant "Lost" closeup of an item so you know I had to bust out in a little Google action. "BesixDOUZE" was written on the fuel can on the beach by Locke. It's French for "B612" which is the name of an asteroid. It's also happens to be the name of the asteroid in the children's book "The Little Prince."
This book was written by a French aviator who was involved in a plane crash (the writers like to make references like this a lot) and stranded in the desert. Sometimes these references are nothing more than that-this person or that person was in a plane crash and there is nothing deeper than what is on the surface. This book, though a children's story makes some very profound points about human nature. I have never read the book but, according to the wiki, there is a famous line when translated from French says, "one can not see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes." I really like that line. I think I may pick up this book and read it... Of course I'm falling into the trap of one of the evil hidden agendas of this show-to sell more books and get people to read more.
The little prince's asteroid, btw, was about the size of a house and had three volcanoes and a rose. I may be digging too deep, but do you think the writers might be suggesting that this island is an asteroid than can transcend time and space...other dimensions? Another dimension, another dimension, another dimension... Sorry... Beastie Boys just came on my iPhone... Where was I? Oh yeah, can somebody get Jeff Bridges on the line? We may have some sort of "Starman" reference here, though the writers said, "not alien," right?
So what else happened in this episode?
Jin is alive! That should take the "vengeful beeotch" right out of Sun... When they can prove it to her. Jin must have been, as Faraday put it, "with in the radius" when Ben turned the wheel. But now he is 16 years in the past (need to double check the timeline, but I thought that the distress signal had been running that long) with a very young Danielle Roussesu and her "team." I assume that he will flash around and eventually hook back up with the rest of his people.
Miles and Juliette are getting nose bleeds and will soon experience the same things as Charlotte, unless they can stop the time jumping when they get to the Orchid. Mrs. Hawking must know exactly when they shut it off, hence the 70 hour ultimatum to Ben. They'll have to be back on the island by then... Or Ben has to shut it off to save them, and in doing so, traps them there... Forever. Just some thoughts.
Some references to the numbers:
Kate's address: 42 Panorama Crest
The boat slip: Slip 23 at Long Beach Marina.
We now know that they could potentially run into their past selves on the island. When Locke sees the light from the hatch, he knew exactly when they where: the night that Boone died and when Claire gave birth to Aaron. Sawyer even prods Locke about going over to talk to "himself," but Locke says he needed to have the pain he did in order to to where he is today. Faraday said you can't change what has already happened, but if you are able to see your past self and past friends, don't you think you would be able to? Or, would it be that the past self wouldn't see you, but maybe hear "voices" or see "ghosts" or black smoke maybe? The Others from the past can see and interact with the Losties, but we don't know yet if they can interact with their past selves. Will they even touch on this?
So who was in the canoe shooting at Locke's team? As far as time, it was after the crash of 815, and close to current island time which should be in early 2005 now, right? I know the time thing is confusing because when we see Jack and Kate it's 2008ish, while on the island it should be still 2005 if they ever get back to normal.
Why did Ben send the lawyer after Kate? Did he not think Jack would be able to bring her in? Dan was also the attorney for Claire's mom who had sued Oceanic and was there by coincidence.
What did I miss? I know I missed something, but I have written this blog entry entirely from my iPhone and my eyes are crossed looking at this screen. Plus I need to do something else to get my mind off of this show for a while. Maybe I should unplug from everything for a little while... Yeah right! Like that'll happen. Until next time!
