As most are aware, I try to avoid spoilers when it comes to the show. I even try to avoid the show synopsis when I can, but I slipped when looking up the title for this episode. It said something about Locke and I thought we would see how he dies, but that wasn't the case because after he leaves the island, he goes to see Ben, not only to give him Jin's wedding ring, but also to put his plan in action. So how Locke dies remains a mystery for now.
It was another fast paced episode which of course left the viewers asking more questions even though it answered a few from previous shows. For one, we now know that Eloise Hawking is Faraday's mom. Desmond confirmed that as he entered the scene. What else did we learn? Oh yeah, Charlotte was not allowed to have chocolate before dinner. What does this mean? Nothing really. They were just showing that she was taking those mental trips through time like Faraday's lab rat, Theresa Spencer. However, unlike Theresa who is still "tripping" in the present day (or when ever she is), Charlotte bites the big one. Call it a hunch, but something tells me that Daniel will cause some major problems by trying to change the future by altering the past. They even hinted around to the fact that he had been there before in a dialog between Faraday and Charlotte. Perhaps even since he has been there before, Daniel is already in the future trying to fix everything he messed up, and that is why those who left the island have to come back. Hmmmmmmm? A little "Butterfly Effect" maybe? Oh, this is totally off subject, but when have I been able to stay on track. I have been following Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore on Twitter and they are quite fun to watch FYI... back to LOST.
As soon as the show ended last night, my good friend Paul posted something on my Facebook wall, that I missed. I wrote the name down, but didn't decipher it. The name on Ben's carpet cleaning van: Canton-Rainier. It's an anagram of "reincarnation." Good catch Paul! Not sure what to do with that info just yet, but it may come into play soon... or they are trying to throw the die-hard Losties off.
Other things to discuss amongst yourselves, or in the comment section:
1. Ben loses it, feeling under appreciated tells Jack to go ahead and shoot him, but do we completely trust Ben. He seems to know all and stay one step ahead. Maybe because he has already been through everything before... maybe?
2. Charlotte speaks Korean... and "Klingon." (Reference to Star Trek. The remake being directed by... guess...JJ Abrams). She also grew up on the island as a child of the Dharma Initiative, but left with her mom (probably at the advice of Faraday who was the "crazy man" of her past).
3. The Well. Located near the Orchid. It looked ancient. I was hoping some light would be shed on the four-toed statue.
4. Christian Shephard shows up at the bottom of the well to help guide Locke, but he can't pick him up. He can only tells Locke what he needs to know. Is he just a spirit? Christian had told Locke that "he" had to move the island, but when he told this to Mr. Linus, Ben moved the island because he knew how. But all along, Locke was the one who was supposed to move it. Locke tells Christian that Richard says he will die to which he responds, "that's why they call it sacrifice." Locke is the sacrificial lamb who will die so that the others may live? Anyone? Anyone?
5. The Black Smoke. Been a while since we have seen it in that detail. It retreated to a temple. I don't recall ever seeing that temple. Is that the place that Richard referenced last season?
... have to get to a meeting. More later!
