TITLE
Refers to Jack being the last recruit for the flock of the Locke-ness monster. However I may point out that Locke-ness did not acquire all the people he needs to leave the island so Jack should not be the last recruit.
QUIZ QUESTION: What time travel book did Sawyer read on the island long before any time travel occurred?
QUIZ QUESITON: What is the name of the boat that Sawyer steals and takes to Hydra island in this episode?
We learn in this episode that Locke-ness can only appear as dead people. Why? We have seen several dead people on the island that were certainly Locke-ness in disguise. We learn in this episode that in the first season episode White Rabbit when Jack saw his father that it was actually Locke-ness impersonating his father. We also saw the dead brother of Eko right before Eko was murdered by Locke-ness. Again why? But Kate saw a horse. Are we to believe that Locke-ness also became a horse? Also we have also seen live people impersonated on the island such as Walt. Recall that Walt has appeared to Sayid, Shannon and Locke and it has been shown that Walt is very much alive. My theory is that Locke impersonates dead people and Jacob impersonates live people. Who are the young boys we keep seeing on the island? Is this Jacob? The Christian seen in the shack with Claire was also Locke-ness. That was the first time we heard Claire say that she was with him now. Claire also said that to Jack in this episode and also Locke-ness said the same phrase to Jack. Clair indicates that Jack hooked up with Locke-ness the moment he let him talk to him. We have seen two different warnings about this one for Jacob and one for Locke-ness. The warning was the same for each: Once he talks to you it is too late. Now the question is, is Jack really with Locke-ness? I never took Jack to be one to go over to the dark side especially since it was the idea of Jack to jump off the boat in an attempt to stop Locke-ness. Is Jack infected like Sayid and Claire? Recall that the Others said that the infection eventually penetrates your heart and the person you were before dies. Sayid has stated that he feels nothing now. He does not feel anger or happiness. Did Sayid kill Desmond? We never see him do it and are sort of led to believe he did not. And this despite the phony previews which clearly show Sayid firing into the well where Desmond was. But in the actual episode Sayid only points his gun into the well. He is never shown firing into it. ABC!! Don’t lie like that. Hurley indicates that one can come back from the Dark Side and recalls Anakin Skywalker (a.k.a. Darth Vader) who in episode 6 did kill the emperor and redeem himself. If Sayid did not kill Desmond does this show that he still has a heart? If so then the infection has not completely taken him over.
At the hospital notice the reaction of Sun to John Locke. She obviously thinks something bad about him. This is most likely a crossover between the two timelines where Sun is recalling the Locke-ness monster.
I SPY A HURLEY NUMBER
When Desmond and Claire go to the office of the lawyer it is on floor 15. Did you catch it? How did Desmond know that Claire would be at the Lawyer office and how did he know to hook her up with that Lawyer?
Sawyer is one of the few to notice the strange coincidence of members of flight 815 meeting up and mentions this to Kate. We see a recurring pattern here. That members of this flight seemed to be destined to cross paths in either timeline. The regular timeline seems to be the more dominant timeline. In the alternate timeline there has been much attention paid to 815 flight members feeling like they do not belong in the timeline they are in. This revelation does not occur in the regular timeline. Thus the alternate timeline is the weaker one and does not belong. I sometimes wonder if the alternate timeline is really happening at all. Maybe it is just a dream of someone.
I was wondering what if Jack in the AT repaired Locke and so he could walk again. This happened in the regular timeline when Jack miraculously repaired his future wife and so she could walk. Also since Locke could walk in the regular timeline on the island because he got healed, will the AT reflect the regular timeline and allow Locke to walk again?
Notice when the missile hits near the camp of Locke-ness that there is no time delay as we have seen when the payload was fired from the freighter. Perhaps this is because the people of Widmore are firing much closer to the island that the freighter did.
RAMBLINGS
The boat that Sawyer steals is the original boat of Desmond.
When Saywer tells Kate why Claire cannot come on the boat he tells her that the Claire she knew is gone. “That was before she started drinking Locke’s Kool-aid”. This is a reference to the Jonestown massacre in 1979.
Kate mentions that it should have been Claire that raised Aaron. This agrees with what the psychic told Claire that only she should raise him. Is this because that since Claire did not raise him she went a little insane? We did see Claire create her own “child” out of bones in her camp. Kind of creepy.
Notice Alana is the lawyer in the AT.
Another mirror we see between the two timelines is that Sun can only speak Korean in both timelines at least for a short period of time. This comes to an end though with the Sun-Jin reunion when English finally returns to Sun. Will we find that Sun also speaks English in the AT now?
Notice that the fence is turned off just before Sun and Jin cross it. This is good because we recall what happened to Mikail when he crossed the fence when it was not turned off.
Notice that Locke-ness seems unworried about the bombs blasting around him. Pay close attention. He does not even flinch. This is because those bombs cannot hurt him.

My Serious, Logical Thoughts on Everybody Loves Hugo
TITLE
This clever title is actually a play on words with the season two episode entitled Everybody Hates Hugo. Nice touch. Things have certainly turned around for Hugo in the AT.
In the AT we see that Hugo has become a philanthropist donating money everywhere and starting his version of the Ronald McDonald house. And it is all because he purchased Mr. Clucks the Fried Chicken joint where he used to work. It should be noted here that there is no mention of a meteor hitting Mr. Clucks. If that is true then that means the power of the numbers curse is very strong indeed being able to alter the orbits of meteoroids in space. But what could possibly have happened on Earth to alter the trajectory of a meteoroid in space or perhaps the trajectory of Earth so that the meteor would not have hit? I point to the major difference between the two timelines and that is the detonation of the atomic bomb on the island. Still, even that should not have made that much difference. Though I have been told that a recent Earthquake in Chile slightly altered the length of a day on Earth.
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local-beat/Quake-Might-Have-Shortened-Day-Scientists-85972347.html
Did the bomb slightly alter Earth’s rotation so that the meteor hit somewhere else? Is this correct or did the meteor really hit in the AT and it was just not shown? What do you think? QUIZ QUESTION: What was the name of the reporter inside Mr. Clucks who was killed when the meteor hit in the regular timeline?
Oddly Jacob did indicate to Hugo that the numbers were not a curse but a blessing. Recall Jacob also used the Hurley numbers to classify the candidates. Also there is no mention in the introductory video that Hugo ever won the lottery. We can assume that he did not win the lottery in the AT but became rich anyway. The AT for Hugo is the complete opposite compared to the regular timeline. In the regular timeline Hugo said that winning the money was the worst thing that ever happened to him. In the AT the money seems to be his friend. He even uses it to bribe a guy to see Libby. Libby of course was in the institution with Hugo in the regular timeline though he does not know this. If you look closely you will also see the man in the institution playing connect four who in the regular timeline told Hugo to go to Australia to see Sam Toomey who also used the Hurley numbers in his life and which he believed brought tragedy. It was because of this man that Hugo was on flight 815. In the AT Hugo gets to go on the picnic with Libby that he was denied in the regular timeline.
When Hugo goes to the institution to visit Libby notice the blackboard in the background. It has the same drawing of an island on it that was there when Hugo was in the institution in the regular timeline. There is also an alligator.
We now know what Desmond meant when he told his limo driver that he wanted to show something to the passengers of flight 815. He wants to show them the life they had in the regular timeline. That is why Desmond ran over Locke so he would have a near-death experience and relive his other life. Undoubtedly Locke saw himself walking on the island. When Dr. Linus confronts Desmond notice that when Linus asks Desmond the name of his son he says Charlie which is the real name of his son in the regular timeline. But in the AT Desmond has no son. Just like Claire, Desmond subconsciously knows the name of his child in the regular timeline.
In this episode a long awaited secret is revealed. The whispers which we have heard since season one are revealed to be the voices of lost spirits on the island who are trapped there due to the misdeeds they have done. Is the island then an island of lost souls created to punish those who have floundered in their lives? Richard stated that Jacob once told him what the island was. It would be interesting to hear what Jacob actually said to him and if it had anything to do with lost souls. Perhaps before the series finale we will know what he said. Does anyone wonder if the island was artificially constructed? The island has the ability to move yet retains its odd magnetic field. This shows that the magnetic field source should be near the surface rather than buried deep inside Earth. Locke mentions the weird magnetic field when he discusses the well with Desmond. He says that the well is very old. How old? Thousands of years or hundreds? Who built the well? Was it the same people who built the statue? What happened to them? Before we knew the story of Richard it was said that he was very old and had been at his job for a very long time. I interpreted this to be thousands of years only to find out it had only been since around the year 1867.
The Locke-monster throws Desmond into the well because he believes that Desmond is the secret weapon of Widmore. Whatever Widmore has planned it involves Desmond and probably something electromagnetic.
Ilanna getting blown up was a shocker. After what happened to Dr. Arzt the LOSTaways were clearly aware of how unstable the dynamite was. Would they not have shared this information with Ilana so that she would have been more careful with the dynamite rather than dropping to the ground like that and getting herself blown up. It was also a shock to see the Black Rock get blown up. I guess that is the end of the dynamite. What did Michael mean when he told Hurley that he was about to get everyone killed? Does this mean that if Richard and the other tried to blow up the plane that they would blow themselves up with the dynamite? This seems like a likely theory since Hurley blows up the Black Rock to prevent them from getting anymore dynamite. I have a solution. Ask Widmore to blow up the plane. Here are some reasons why:
He could easily do it because he has the firepower
He would want to do it since he does not want the Locke-ness monster to leave the island either. We can conclude this from some of the things Widmore has said.
Michael also tells Hurley that if he ever sees Libby again to tell her he is sorry. This is not out of the realm of possibility. We get a hint from an episode in which Hurley was back in the USA as part of the Oceanic Six. In one episode while Hurley is driving he is pulled over by none other than Ana Lucia who is dead. She says to Hugo that Libby says Hi.

My Serious, Logical Thoughts on Happily Ever After
TITLE
Refers to Desmond living his happily ever after in the AT, but it is not so happily as it turns out.
The opening scene with the eye of Desmond opening up is classic LOST. How often have we seen eyes opening on LOST? Even the series started with the eye of Jack opening up. Also there is a song on the CD called the Eyeland.
QUIZ QUESTION. When Charlie is drinking in the bar with Desmond he is wearing a ring with the initials DS on it. What do these initials originally stand for before driveshaft?
The circular electromagnetic device looks surprisingly similar to the device used to travel between other dimensions in the TV show SLIDERS (1994 – 1999) I keep expecting Desmond to travel through that ring and into the AT. Now would that not be cool? He could meet himself in another dimension. The device in this episode is a solenoid which is a real electrical device. When you run AC current through it it creates a voltage of its own which opposes the applied voltage. A slinky is an example of a solenoid. It should be noted that DHARMA was very interested in experimenting with electromagnetism and in fact it was their drilling into a pocket of electromagnetic energy that caused “the incident” that was first described in the episode Orientation. We have also seen that compasses do not work correctly on the island showing that the island probably has its own magnetic field. The name of the rabbit in this episode is angstrom. An angstrom is a unit of measurement and equal to one tenth of a billionth of a meter. Though he was told he was next, angstrom never entered into the electromagnetic device room. Now the big question is when Desmond was exposed to the electromagnetic radiation was he able to see into the AT? I am hoping that the AT does not really exist but it just a vision that shows you what might have been. How does that grab you?
This episode more than any other AT episode shows how characters in the AT can recall people and events from the normal timeline. This makes me believe that there is something wrong with the AT. Otherwise why would people say that they feel like they don’t belong here? Is the AT then an unstable timeline or perhaps like a dream showing us what might have been? If the AT is unstable is there any way that it can be erased so that only one timeline exists? The encounter between Desmond and Eloise may hint at just such a possibility. Eloise states that Desmond is not ready and she wants to shut him down. But what is he not ready for? Look for Desmond to be the key in future episodes for erasing the AT and getting everything back to normal.
It was wild to see Faraday not a scientist but a musician. His physics equations carried over from the other timeline. Somehow people in the AT can sense that they do not belong there and can get information from the regular timeline. Charlie apparently has figured out a way to gain information from the other timeline by having near death experiences.
It was also wild to see Desmond apparently happily working for Widmore in the AT. They are not so friendly in the regular timeline. Keep in mind that Desmond was not on flight 815 in the regular timeline but was on the flight in the AT. He was doing business in Australia which is why he was on that plane. They have not mentioned yet if Hurley is having problems with the numbers in the AT. That is why he was in Australia. He was investigating Sam Toomey and the numbers. But was he doing that in the AT or did destroying the island also destroy the curse of the numbers? But I digress.
The limo driver used to star in a show called Early Edition about a guy who got the newspaper of tomorrow today.
Note the scene where Penny meets Desmond for the first time in the AT. In the AT it is Penny that is running the steps while in the regular timeline we see Desmond running the steps and Penny and Desmond did not meet at the stadium in LA but met in Europe.
When Desmond picks up Charlie from the police station his brother is not there even though we saw his brother at the police station in a previous episode trying to get Charlie out of jail. I guess he was not successful.
When Desmond returns from his dream state he is eager to do whatever Widmore wants. What is the sacrifice Widmore wants Desmond to make? Perhaps it is to stay on the island for the rest of his life? I think it has something to do with stopping the Locke-ness monster from leaving the island because Widmore is worried that his daughter and everyone else will be gone forever. This hints of what has been said on previous episodes that if Locke-ness gets off the island darkness will spread. We have seen that Sayid has been contaminated by this darkness somehow and now he feels nothing – no emotion like in the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers in which the pod people had no feelings after taking over the bodies of humans. Maybe it is like that. Wherever Locke-ness goes he contaminates people making them lose all emotion. We were warned by the Others that when the darkness penetrated the heart of Sayid that the man they knew before would cease to exist. That kind of thinking totally agrees with the statement of Widmore when he states that is daughter and everyone else would cease to exist.
When Sayid gets Desmond at the end Desmond is eager to go with Sayid. Was this part of the plan all along? Did Widmore know this would happen? Else why is Desmond so content about it? Also I thought Sayid was there to get Jin back. After all Locke-ness needs Jin to leave the island. He must have all the candidates in order to leave. Sayid will return to Locke-ness with Desmond so if Desmond wanted to get up with Locke-ness this was certainly a good move to allow himself to be taken.
We will see soon find out how important the role of Desmond is in saving the world.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR
In the office of Widmore look for the Black Rock replica in the background. Also look for a painting of scales on the wall of the office of Widmore. In the regular timeline he had a painting with the word Namaste on it.
The scotch that Desmond and Widmore drink may be the same kind of scotch that Desmond found on the island in the regular timeline.
The bar where Desmond and Charlie drink is called JAX and has a kangaroo showing in front. And where do we find kangaroos?

My Serious, Logical Thoughts on The Package
TITLE
Refers to Desmond. I actually called this about halfway into the episode. I said Desmond would be the package brotha.
WHEN JINNY MET SUNNY
The big shocker was that Jin and Sun were not married in this episode. Notice that Jin is carrying $25,000 with the watch in the AT. In the normal timeline the money was never mentioned. They only mentioned a watch. Given that in the normal timeline Jin was married to Sun and therefore the farther of Sun would have no reason to be angry and kill Jin for being with her daughter. In the AT the whole purpose for the trip to LA was to get Jin killed as arranged by the father of Sun. $25,000 seems cheap. So in the normal timeline this means if I am correct that there had to be another reason why the father of Sun sent them to LA, but we are never told this. However the father of Sun was not really excited about the choice of husband for his daughter so you never know. There is no indication that Sun can speak English in the AT. This does not mean that she does not though.
The part where Sun talks with Jin about his making her button her top on the plane is because Jin knows that agents of Mister Paik may be around and even on the plane. He thinks this because when they were in the Sydney airport Jin was confronted in the bathroom by a Caucasian man who spoke perfect Korean who worked for Mister Paik! This means Paik sent a spy to watch them.
When the Locke-ness monster is speaking with Claire about her name not being on the wall we learn that the name of Austin is no longer on the wall. Did the Lock-ness monster cross out that name? If so when did he do it? And who crossed out all the other names? Was it Locke-ness or Jacob. Note the Locke-ness tells Claire that he needs Kate to help him get other people on the plane, but after that whatever happens happens. This is a carte blanche permission to Claire to kill Kate. Interesting since Locke-ness also has had a heart-to-heart with Kate. But he is only using her. The fact that Locke needs all the candidates on the plane before he too can leave is very similar to the logic used by the LOSTaways to return to the island. In that one the flight of Agira 316 had to resemble the original 815 flight is as many aspects as possible. They even got a dead Locke to replace the dead Christian from the original 815 flight. So it seems the same kind of rules apply to Locke-ness leaving the island. Also when Kate and Sawyer were captured by the Others they were put at work building a runway. Interesting since Locke-ness is going to need a runway to get the Agira plane off the island. We learn in this episode that the smoke monster cannot travel across water else he would have done that and left. The pylons used to repel the Locke-ness monster show that Widmore knows more about smokey than he is letting on. We also see that clearly when he tells Jin what would happen if smokey gets off the island. Widmore was part of the Others so they certainly know who smokey is, what can stop him and what will happen if he gets loose. Interesting that DHARMA also had these pylons to protect their compound. So did they know about smokey? If they did they never mentioned it. They only thing that was said was that the pylons were used to repel wildlife. Also why did not the Locke-ness monster just knock one of these pylons over? Could he not just push on one? You could push it without cross the barrier.
It is mentioned by Widmore that is Locke-ness gets off the island then to paraphrase everyone they know and love will cease to exist. This is an obvious reference to the heart sickness disease whatever it is which we first heard about in season one from Rousseau. We know for sure that both Sayid and Claire have been infected with this thing. You can see the effect of it in this episode when Sayid states he no longer feels anything. The leader at the temple said that once the sickness reached the heart of Sayid that he would no longer exist. It is as though the sickness whatever it is comes from the Locke-ness monster himself. Where he goes he somehow can infect people with this darkness and poison their very hearts. But not everyone on the island seems to get infected. Why some do and some do not is a mystery.
You think Sun is pregnant with Ji Yeon? Surely at this point they cannot go back to Korea since the father of Sun tried to kill Jin and Sun is pregnant which the father of Sun would find as a disgrace probably.
The concept of aphasia which affects your speech center was also studied in Star Trek Deep Space Nine season one episode 5 entitled Babble. Note in both timelines this week Sun ends up speaking no English.
Interesting how Mikail only gets one eye in the alternate reality just like in the normal reality. And it’s the same eye! I checked. By the way, where is Mikail in the normal timeline? We never saw him at the temple with the Others, the group he was a part of. The last time we saw him was when he was murdering Charlie in the looking glass. Will he make another appearance before the end of the series?
I have been thinking about how this series is going to end. What if we have both a happy and an unhappy ending? How can you do that you ask? With two different timelines! In the normal timeline smokey gets off the island and takes over the world infecting everybody. But in the AT everything ends up ok for everybody. Another ending would be in the normal timeline that smokey is prevented from getting off the island when Jack volunteers to become the next Jacob. The series ends when smokey and Jack are sitting together on a beach and another ship crashes on the island.
Why is Desmond so important? Obviously Widmore brought him back to the island for a very good reason but what is it? This does agree though with the statement Eloise gave to Desmond at the lighthouse when she said the island is not done with you yet.
Long live the tomato!

Refers to Desmond. I actually called this about halfway into the episode. I said Desmond would be the package brotha.
WHEN JINNY MET SUNNY
The big shocker was that Jin and Sun were not married in this episode. Notice that Jin is carrying $25,000 with the watch in the AT. In the normal timeline the money was never mentioned. They only mentioned a watch. Given that in the normal timeline Jin was married to Sun and therefore the farther of Sun would have no reason to be angry and kill Jin for being with her daughter. In the AT the whole purpose for the trip to LA was to get Jin killed as arranged by the father of Sun. $25,000 seems cheap. So in the normal timeline this means if I am correct that there had to be another reason why the father of Sun sent them to LA, but we are never told this. However the father of Sun was not really excited about the choice of husband for his daughter so you never know. There is no indication that Sun can speak English in the AT. This does not mean that she does not though.
The part where Sun talks with Jin about his making her button her top on the plane is because Jin knows that agents of Mister Paik may be around and even on the plane. He thinks this because when they were in the Sydney airport Jin was confronted in the bathroom by a Caucasian man who spoke perfect Korean who worked for Mister Paik! This means Paik sent a spy to watch them.
When the Locke-ness monster is speaking with Claire about her name not being on the wall we learn that the name of Austin is no longer on the wall. Did the Lock-ness monster cross out that name? If so when did he do it? And who crossed out all the other names? Was it Locke-ness or Jacob. Note the Locke-ness tells Claire that he needs Kate to help him get other people on the plane, but after that whatever happens happens. This is a carte blanche permission to Claire to kill Kate. Interesting since Locke-ness also has had a heart-to-heart with Kate. But he is only using her. The fact that Locke needs all the candidates on the plane before he too can leave is very similar to the logic used by the LOSTaways to return to the island. In that one the flight of Agira 316 had to resemble the original 815 flight is as many aspects as possible. They even got a dead Locke to replace the dead Christian from the original 815 flight. So it seems the same kind of rules apply to Locke-ness leaving the island. Also when Kate and Sawyer were captured by the Others they were put at work building a runway. Interesting since Locke-ness is going to need a runway to get the Agira plane off the island. We learn in this episode that the smoke monster cannot travel across water else he would have done that and left. The pylons used to repel the Locke-ness monster show that Widmore knows more about smokey than he is letting on. We also see that clearly when he tells Jin what would happen if smokey gets off the island. Widmore was part of the Others so they certainly know who smokey is, what can stop him and what will happen if he gets loose. Interesting that DHARMA also had these pylons to protect their compound. So did they know about smokey? If they did they never mentioned it. They only thing that was said was that the pylons were used to repel wildlife. Also why did not the Locke-ness monster just knock one of these pylons over? Could he not just push on one? You could push it without cross the barrier.
It is mentioned by Widmore that is Locke-ness gets off the island then to paraphrase everyone they know and love will cease to exist. This is an obvious reference to the heart sickness disease whatever it is which we first heard about in season one from Rousseau. We know for sure that both Sayid and Claire have been infected with this thing. You can see the effect of it in this episode when Sayid states he no longer feels anything. The leader at the temple said that once the sickness reached the heart of Sayid that he would no longer exist. It is as though the sickness whatever it is comes from the Locke-ness monster himself. Where he goes he somehow can infect people with this darkness and poison their very hearts. But not everyone on the island seems to get infected. Why some do and some do not is a mystery.
