It’s a good thing we had the refresher episode (Past, Present, Future) since LOST has been off-air for what feels like forever. I’m live blogging, but going back to fill in afterwards, so forgive the disorganization.
Great opening. We see someone pouring juice in the kitchen as if getting ready in the morning. It is a clean-cut Jack is watching the morning news. It’s bright and sunny outside. Somewhat similar to the S2 premiere showing Desmond in the hatch.
Car chase – orange Camero – driver is Hurley?! Does anyone remember what kind of car his dad was supposed to help him rebuild? Ana Lucia’s partner questions Hurley and won’t admit he knew AL. I think the Losties have an agreement with Oceanic not to talk about what happened. Or it’s simply to protect whoever was left behind.
“I’m one of the Oceanic 6.” So, it sounds like six people returned to civilization – we know Jack, Hurley, Kate… any guesses on the other 3? I think Sawyer is one, because of Kate’s reference to “him”.
One-liners on the island:
“If Charlie didn’t flip that switch, we’d still be getting a busy signal on that fancy phone.” – Rose
“I wanna do a cannonball” -Hurley
Flash forward: Hugo has a visitor, attorney for Oceanic, “Are you fine, Mr. Reyes… you’re in a mental institution. .. Are they still alive?” So, it does appear that they may be protecting those that chose to stay on the island.
After finding out about Charlie, Sawyer reaches out to to Hugo… I thought that was a poignant moment after he shunned Hurley in last season’s finale. Of course, Hugo did save everyone with the VW van…
Okay, Jacob’s cabin is just plain freaky! And, Hurley “saw” Jacob rocking in the chair. The eye popping up in the window was too intense for me LOL I am assuming it was Locke’s eye… and another play on the “eye” theme. The voices in the jungle are also creepy. I kept hearing “suicide”.
“Better call the boat and let them know she’s getting a big pile of firewood.” Ben, about a hurt and missing Naomi.
“You can get yourself good and lost out here, Hugo.” Did you notice Locke uses a Ben tactic to rally Hugo and not let “Charlie die for nothing”.
The couples reunite… except Claire and Charlie. Hugo breaks the news to her. It was a nice tribute to Charlie. Of course, it’s LOST with plenty of opportunity to see him again…
Flash forward: Hurley sees Charlie. (See, I told you he’d be seen again. And, doesn’t he look nice with the haircut?) “They need you Hugo. You know they need you.”
Back on the island: “Do no harm” Jack shot at Locke, but the gun wasn’t loaded. I thought this was an important moment in Jack’s mindset. He’s shifted; he’s willing to kill a member of the Losties, driven by his rage. We saw a glimpse of that when he pummeled Ben – but he still did not kill him.
Science vs. Faith: The Losties split up once again.
Flash forward: Hurley playing basketball, visited by pre-beard Jack. Hurley knows Jack isn’t there for a friendly game of HORSE.
I’m sorry I went with Locke, I should’ve went with you.” This apology sounds loaded. Hmmm… Hurley left with Locke, so how did he end up on the ride home?
“We’re never going back!!!”
“Never say never.”
“Feels like 100 years ago that we came out here together”
Questions:
- Is Naomi there to help them or get to the island for a different reason?
- Who was the guy that chuted onto the island and what does he have in store for the Losties?
- Who are the six Oceanic survivors who returned?
- What are they hiding? Is it to protect the Losties still hiding on the island? Or, were they responsible for their deaths in some way?
- What makes Jack change his mind and become obsessed with finding the island?
- Is Kate’s “him” a really good lawyer who was able to get her pardoned from her crimes?
- Did Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lily get married yet?
- Where were Sawyer’s great one-liners in this episode??
- Who was in the coffin???!!
Got any answers/theories for me??
