“It’s not a what, it’s a who”

March 31st, 2010

This episode was pretty slow.
Sun shot, OMG.

I’m beginning to wonder if Widmore really is the bad guy. A jackass, yes, but the bad guy?

    yay! that was one of the quotes I picked. (you’d be surprised how much fun I have trying to guess which quote you’ll use.) my other top pick was “unless alpert’s covered in bacon grease, I’m not sure hurley can track anything.”

    so. sun RUNS INTO A TREE BRANCH and thereby SUFFERS AMNESIA. at least miles lampshaded how stupid and lame it was, but…it was still stupid and lame.

    the most interesting question this episode raised is whether mikhail lost his eye in the it-worked-world because he was always “destined” to lose it (i.e. the original timeline causes something in the alternate) or because of some donnie darko thing (something that happens *later* in the alternate timeline “causes” something that already existed in the original timeline).

    interesting that kate’s name is already crossed off. kinda makes you wonder why jacob allowed her back on the island. (I’m sure lostpedia has screencaps of every single name on that wheel, but I’m trying to have a *conversation* here!)

    no children can be born on the island because jacob didn’t invite them?

    I have decided that ilana is the hottest woman on the show.

    I really hate what’s happening to sayid.

    by the end of the episode, I had nearly forgotten that it began with security footage, and no indication of who was watching it.

    and finally, DESMOND!

    I thought of donnie darko in this episode too – and the babies thing…… INTERESTING.

    I never thought of Jacob or blackie having anything to do with the pregnancy stuff but I guess they’d have to, right?

    i needed desmond back in my life. it was a slow episode but i didn’t hate it. i think there’s definitely some kind of relationship between the no-babies and jacob and esau (did they actually name him that, or did i make that up?)

    I didn’t hate it either – I haven’t hated anything since the temple :)

    Which I might end up NOT hating in the end depending on how that plays out.

    Adrian – “the most interesting question this episode raised is whether mikhail lost his eye in the it-worked-world because he was always “destined” to lose it”

    That’s exactly why he lost his eye. Like Jack and his appendix. They cannot fight their destiny.

    janet – he hasn’t been named Esau. people are just calling him that. he has no name. my crazy, whacked-out theory? His name is jacob. that’s why they haven’t named him.

    I called Desmond weeks ago.

    This season is letting me down. :(
