- the “newborns” in this show really get on my nerves – I know it’s the best they can do, but still.
- “if the light goes out here, it goes out everywhere” – WHAT WHAT WHAT. howwwwwwwwww did lost become this??? ugh ugh ugh.
(here is where Hazel woke up from her nap, I carried on with the rest of my day and evening and now it’s Thursday and I’m going to watch the last ten minutes simply because I feel like I have to. UGH.)
- are we supposed to believe that she single-handedly killed all of his people, burned his village, and filled in his hole before he regained consciousness?
- smoke monster creation – LAME.
- ok, the clips from the beginning of the show were horribly out of place, but they made me tear up a little bit because that seems like so long ago, and it was all so good, and now it’s almost over.
- I don’t have high hopes for the rest.
- there was not even a good line for the title of this entry.

double those ughs from me!! i did not/do not know where to begin: BIB/MIB has to have a name-what is the big secret about his name! & i really couldn’t get passed allison janney as “Mother”- west wing, juno, in plain sight; i had a fleeting thought that maybe jacob is not the “good” twin; why couldn’t jacob see his deceased mother and BIB/MIB could? unlocke/flock/MIB could see the child form of jacob but not the adult form…….. too many questions…… like MOTHER said, ‘asking questions just leads to more questions.’

for one heartstopping moment, I thought that was jake lloyd of the phantom menace. whew.
this was a tale about the original “sin” of curiosity, and human nature. jacob was born with his eyes open and just lay there calmly; blackshirt came out squalling with his eyes closed. jacob doesn’t push or question (much); blackshirt stares out across the sea, wonders what’s out there, wants to go find out. he allies with men who are curious about how things work”. so basically this episode made me like him a lot more.
the way mother said that there’s a little bit of the light “in every man”, and that “all men” want more, it wasn’t clear whether she was just using “man” to mean “human”, or males specifically. particularly in light of the fact that the kind of urge she seems to be describing has historically been characteristic of men more than women. I dunno, I’m probably trying to make this make more sense than it’s ever going to.
this episode was set about a couple thousand years ago. claudia was speaking latin (until that SUPER LAME magical english transition) and blackshirt had a roman dagger.
interesting that, while jacob can’t lie, he can do violence, even though mother said he wouldn’t be able to hurt his brother.
I wondered if mother was able to wipe out the camp because she was herself a smoke monster…?
jacob’s feelings of rejection reminded me of ben’s.
at this point it seems pretty clear that revealing blackshirt’s name is going to be (part of) the big shock at the end; otherwise they would’ve finally told us in this, of all episodes. and I can’t imagine *any* name he could have that would really give me that kind of OMG HEAD ASPLODE moment that the show needs to end with.

I didn’t hate it. But, I’m ready to get back to our Losties.

no shirtless Sawyer = no fun in the episode.
I liked blackshirt more because of this episode. Jacob was a d*ck, sorry.
I did like the ending however, and finally finding out who the two dead bodies were.
Sad.
Jack & Kate looked so cute so young!

Clint says, and I agree, that momma was the smoke monster, which is how she killed the village. MIB killed her with the dagger before she said anything, just like Sayid was told to do. Pretty cool.
