My Serious, Logical Thoughts on The Little Prince

TITLE
This is the name of a fairy tale about a small boy who lives on a planet by himself. I took this to mean Aaron in this episode.

OPENING SEQUENCE
We see Kate and Jack on the boat bringing them home, and Kate tells Jack that she has always been with him. However, by the end of the episode she is in stark disagreement with Jack because Jack sides with Ben. I think the opening scene was to put a bit of irony into the episode.

OVERNIGHT DELIVERY
Sun receives a package at her hotel room. Among other things there is a gun hidden in the items. Fedexing a gun is not unheard of at all. A law enforcement officer from Atlanta told me that whenever he and his compadres fly anywhere, they fedex their guns to their hotel since they cannot take them on the plane. We should note though that Locke was able to get his knives on the plane by checking them.

WE LOVE TO BLEED AND IT SHOWS
At first only Charlotte gets nosebleeds from the time travel, but then we notice Juliet and the chinese guy are also now getting them. Faraday had no idea why only Charlotte was getting sick from time travel, but now it seems whatever it is is spreading. Will everyone eventually get the nosebleeds? Will they all die if untreated?

ORCHID RUN
The group on the island is moving back to the Orchid station. It should be noted that we have already seen Faraday with DHARMA in the 1970s at the Orchid station when they discover the wheel time-traveling room. Along the way we see the light beam from the hatch that Locke encountered in an ealier time frame. Locke says that at the time he thought the light meant something but then said it did not. This shows Locke was wrong and not every "vision" he has is correct. Sometimes a beam of light is just a beam of light. Locke has evolved over the course of the show.

WHO DEY?
Who were the people who landed in boats on the island and later were shooting at our heroes in a stolen boat? We will call them the boat people. The only clue is a bottle labeled with the logo of an Indian airline. No large ships were seen in the area so how did those boats get there? When Juliet shoots at them you only see these dark silouhettes. In a later episode, expect the identity of these individuals to be revealed. It should also be noted that they also like to drink DHARMA beer. Also when they time flashed out of danger why did the boat they were paddling also time travel? Would it not have stayed in the same time frame while the bodies of our heroes went on? Of course they would have been in big trouble materializing in the ocean in that storm.

THINGS TO DO IN LOS ANGELAS WHEN YOU'RE SCREWED
Who sent the guy to shoot Sayid? The list of suspects include: Ben - he and Sayid do seem to be at odds. Widmore - of course mister evil himself. Someone else? Sayid has killed a few people. He may have picked up a few enemies. Your thoughts? It is clear that even Sayid has no idea who sent the gunner because he asked him who sent him. Although he refers to the address in his pocket which turns out to be Kate, do not look for Kate to be the culprit. Kate was his next target. By the way the events taking place in L.A. are not in the same time frame with events happening on the island, and I do not mean just because they time travel. On the island Locke has not left yet. In L.A. Locke has already arrived and is dead or perhaps is in a state of hibernation. Look for Locke to be revived later.

WHOSE LINUS IS IT ANYWAY?
Ben is found to be the one who wants custody of Aaron. But Ben has no more legal right to Aaron than Kate does. So why then does the lawyer of Ben talk about the transfer of custody of Aaron? The answer is simple. Ben has no intention of getting custody. Ben is doing this to create a dangerous situation for Aaron so that Kate will want to flee back to the island. It is all a ruse. And it seems to have worked. At the marina we have Jack, Sayid, Kate, Sun and Aaron. The body of Locke is there also. The only one missing is Hugo who should be released from jail shortly. Since his plan worked, he went ahead and told Kate he did it.

THE CRASH OF DANIELLE
The boat of Danielle crashed in 1988 so that is what year it is when Jin wakes up on shore. In the wreckage Locke finds a container that says Besixdouze. Douze means twelve. When Danielle meets Jin 16 years later does she remember meeting him in 1988? No. Will Jin die in 1988? Unclear. He probably will just time travel out. Her compadres on the other hand. Expect one of them to lose an arm before the whole bunch gets wacked off by Danielle after they all contract some disease.

ODDS AND ENDS
Bet that Ben has a long relationship with that lawyer. This is not the first time they have worked together.

  1. Remember at the end of Season 2 and Penny's freighter with the two guys speaking Portuguese? There was some speculation that one of the guys looked like Jack. Now that we have time travel, is this a possibility?

  2. Hey Qcot! Glad to find you again (after the demise of the AOL hometown). Woulda been bummed if the Lost Report had gone off the air!

    Re the nosebleeds -- in the epi last season when Dez is on the freighter and he's got the nosebleed, didn't Faraday tell him he'd die unless he contacted his "anchor"? (And he did [Penny] and was saved.)

    If Charlotte loves Faraday back, then he could be her anchor? Or does Faraday not know about the anchor thing in this timeline (yet)?

  3. Qcot - good to see you have reestablished the Lost report on blogspot. Heard a thoery which says that Danielle's shipmates die of time travel related sickness but she is immune to it because she is pregnant.
