Lost - Episode 6:14 (5/4/10)

Do I have it right that there are only four episodes left?

Subbing. Phew...just in time.

I hope that it's on regular time tonight...when I looked it up a few weeks ago...I saw the title!

Come on 8 o'clock!

Sorry, you'll have to wait until tomorrow...we don't post about the show in this thread until the next day, to make sure everyone has had the chance to see it.

Since its Tomorrow for most of the rest of you already, I'll jump in and say...

Uhhh...wow...

Lostaways are dropping like flies. Talking core, central characters here.

Sayid, Sun, and Jin are dead for sure. I believe the pilot probably bought it as well. Most of Widmores people are dead, though I think Widmore himself and a few of his top flunkies are probably still breathing for now. A few of the Others apparently survived the mortar attack and ran off into the jungle.

As to the rest...

...most of them were on the sub when a bomb planted by Fake Locke went off.

...Sawyer took a nasty blow to the head but seems to be alright other wise;

...Kate was shot, but will probably live;

...Jack and Hurly appear to be alright on the main island;

...Desmond is still alive and trapped on the other side of the island;

...Clair is still with fake Locke on Hydra Island;

...and that be it for lostaways.

(I deem it just barely possible that the pilot might have survived the blast and swum off).

It looks like Fake Lockes plan was to put all the candidates in one place and arrange for them to die. As long as any Candidate remains alive and is still a Candidate, he can not leave the island - but he apparently cannot kill them directly. (He might have bent or even broke the rules with the bomb). Worth noting: Kate is still alive, but has not been a Candidate for some time now. I can only conclude that Fake Locke does not need a plane, boat, or sub to leave the island.

Things are getting interest in Flash Sideways land. Jack is running into more and more people from Oceanic Flight 815, and at least some of them seem to have some vague notion of the other timeline. Jack apparently thinks he can fix Lockes legs - but Locke turned him down. In this timeline, Locke did not end up in a wheelchair after being thrown out of a window, but in a plane crash, with his father as passenger - who ended up in real bad shape as a result.

Sometimes I don't understand Fake Locke? He asks people what did you do on that other island or asks questions similar to that yet he knows everything that happened on the sub and that some survived without being on it himself?

I don't know about Sayid. I'm not sure what happened to him back in the temple. Can he die (again)?

Good summary, Thinker. And good points everyone.

Boy did I cry over Sun and Jin. They just got back together...and I was thinking of their baby back home. I was crying so much over them, I forgot that Sayid had died too. And probably Frank as well. Although as Thinker and sf49erfan said...maybe not.

The parallels are so interesting. Locke's father was beloved by him...not some stranger. My husband pointed out the parallel between how Locke broke his back the first time..."flying" out the window...and then this time actually flying. Other time-line he wanted to walk so badly, now he's resigned to punishing himself for his lifetime because of his dad.

I also am wondering about James finding Anthony Cooper in the nursing home...that is the man who conned his parents, right?

Jack said the same words about Locke with regards to the bomb that Locke has said about Widmore. My husband wonders how he used that watch to rig the bomb...that didn't make sense to him, but maybe that's one of those Mythbusters types of things, like shooting off locks.

My husband is wondering why things that happened before the crash are the same for some and very different for others. It seems that those events shouldn't have been impacted by the crash/non-crash...but they are.

I'm wondering where in the world Ben, Richard, and Miles are. We haven't seen them for weeks in the current time. I'm still looking for Juliet too..and fully expect to see Daniel and Ellie again.

Was that Radzinsky on the sub?

They don't have much time now to wrap this all up!

I cried..... so hard. I don't know if it reminded me more of Charlie's death (they do like their water-deaths on this show...) or of the scenes in Titanic when the people trapped below deck knew death was coming but had nowhere to go.

Locke, muttering in his stupor in the hospital:
"Push the button"
"I wish you had believed me"

And then Jack, to Locke, trying to convince him to let him do the surgery:
"I wish you'd believe me"

... with another "Am I remembering something?" look from Locke before he wheels away.

What an amazing episode.

Yeah, it was amazing.

Nah...in this timeline he committed suicide in the hatch before Desmond was shipwrecked.

And I do find myself wondering about Ben, Richard, and Miles as well.

Oops! Wrong time-line! Now how did I get that wrong?

Wow totaly amazing episode, so sad about Jin and Sun

And yet...Sun and Jin are still alive...in the flash sideways. I assume we all saw Jin walk past Jack in the hospital hallway with a big bouquet of flowers. I was thinking they were going to take us into Sun's room.

I do find myself wondering - especially given the high body counts the last couple of episodes - just how many of the 'little people' (non candidtates) will escape/survive the island.

Some of the 'Others' (former temple people) survived the mortar attack and ran off. What of them?

Did any of the sub crew make it out? I would think that they would have had emergency training along those lines; maybe a couple did get out.

Fake Locke kills these sorts at will...but will he bother to track them all down, especially as he seems to have more important things lined up, like escaping the island?

Would the island decide they are of no more use, and have them get struck by lightning or fall into a spiked pit or something? Remember what happened to the gal handling dynamite an episode or two back, and Bens comment. 'the island had no more use for her'.

What would the best course of action be for these people? Best I've been able to come up with, in their shoes, especially given the sunk sub and probably not easy to fix airplane: grab some provisions real quick, (Others probably got a few caches scattered about), pile into one of those nice big canoes, and start paddling. Yes, they can't actually get all that far from the island, but they could at least avoid getting caught in the crossfire. I suspect we'll see a group of such secondary characters - maybe led by Ben or Miles - attempt just exactly that in the next episode or the one after.

sorry so late, real life has been hectic, but just had to share Ya'all know how I loves me some Easter eggs

The song "catch a falling star" plays in the music box Christian left Claire. It’s the song he used to sing to her as a child and one Claire asked the baby’s adoptive parents to sing to her son.

This season has shown many of the character's seeing their reflections - and in this episode we had both Claire and Jack seing their reflection in the mirror of the music box.

At Anthony Cooper’s nursing home, the PA system asks housekeeping to dial extension 23, one of the Numbers.

The alarm that goes off in the submarine after the C4 explodes makes the same noise as the alarm in the Swan Station when the button needed to be pushed.

I thought it was interesting that Fake Locke blows up the sub with C4 when original Locke did the same thing.

The final four who came to shore tonight -- Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer -- are the same four the Others captured at the end of the season two because their names were on a list.

We only have 3 of the numbers left in play - 8 for Reyes; 15 for Ford; and 23 for Shephard.

And I do find myself wondering about Ben, Richard, and Miles as well.

Ben and Richard, along with Miles, were last seen heading to the Dharma barracks/ village to get some explosives - part 2 of their efforts to blow up the plane. Which then makes you wonder if they were the ones who planted the C-4 in the plane that Flocke found?

Sayid basically told Jack that "Desmond is in a well 3 miles from the dock and Flocke wants him dead, so you need him." Then he said something along the lines of "You're the one." - does he mean you're the one - as in the candidate or just the one to save desmond?
