Blogging While Watching LOST: The Incident – Part 1

by Christina Gleason on May 13, 2009

A spinning wheel. Ancient Egyptian surroundings? A fish trap. Are we going to see the whole statue here? Oh wait… The Black Rock? These gents  speak English, so it’s not ancient times. They’re getting awfully philosophical here. JACOB!

The blond guy is Jacob! And we DID see the statue. It looked like Anubis… but the snout looked more like that of a crocodile.

Badly CGI-ed sub surfacing! Juliet was with Kate on this whole rescue mission… VINCENT! Rose! Bernard with a beard  like Noah! Ooh look, a rainbow! Rose and Bernard are retired. LOL.

So we still don’t know what’s in “the damn box.” “We’re the good guys,” he says. Dude, is that Jacob’s cabin? The ash circle has been broken.

Jacob came to see… Ilana? They’re on a first name basis. She looked like she had some pretty severe facial burns… they’re healed because of Jacob? He asked for her help.

Someone else has been using the cabin, so she’s burning it. She saved the weaving on the wall.

Kids in Iowa. Shoplifting a lunch box from the general store. New Kids on the Block. LOL. Little Katie Austen. Umm… Jacob is paying for the stolen lunch box? WTH? “You’re not going to steal anymore, are you? Be good, Katie.”

DHARMA sub time. Sayid knows it’s a 20-ton bomb. Faraday’s journal details how to dismantle the bomb… and detonate the plutonium. Eloise is pregnant… so poor Daniel never had a chance at sanity. He was a radioactive fetus.

Radzinski came to the island to change the world. So he’s going to keep drilling.

Richard is looking at John like he’s crazy. “Ben told me that he strangled you… How are you alive?”

“I’ve never seen anyone come back to life.”
“And I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t age.”

Jacob is the reason that Richard doesn’t age. And Jacob is likely the reasson why John Locke is alive again.

Crazy Ajira people on the outrigger. Frank may be a candidate. He’d like to know what he’s a candidate for, and I think we’d all like to know the answer as well. What’s in the box? Of course. We’re not going to see until after the commercial break. But Lapidus thinks it’s “terrific.”

A church. A funeral. Who is the little boy? Sawyer? Was that two coffins in two hearses? Jacob gives him the pen to write the letter. Dear Mr. Sawyer. “What’s done is done.” He broke his promise about not finishing the letter.

Nice one, Juliet! Taking out the sedative peddler. Is she going to commandeer the sub herself? Oh okay, just getting the skipper to surface. (Yeah, I know some submarine lingo. What’s it to you?)

Sayid, buddy… those gloves aren’t going to help protect you from the plutonium inside the warhead.

Wait, Jack is the one who told Richard to never give up on Locke? Huh. Never thought I’d see the day when I heard those words come out of his mouth.

Locke is going to make Ben kill Jacob. Much like Ben tried to make Locke kill Cooper. Except that Locke found an alternative…. he got Sawyer to do it instead.

Does Locke really expect Ben to kill Jacob, or is it just a test? I don’t know if Ben ever really expected for Locke to kill Cooper. I think he was just testing him… he never thought he would do it. He was right, but only in the letter, not the spirit.

Oh my God! We just saw Nadia killed! Jacob stopped Sayid from crossing the street with her. Nadia told Sayid to take her home, which is why he took her body back to Iraq.

Richard pistol whipped Eloise to protect their leader. Eloise was their leader? Or Widmore?

Roger just shot Sayid in the gut! Jack is a pretty good shot with a pistol. No, Sayid can’t die! Maybe it’s not as bad as it looks. I don’t want Sayid to be the one to die. Hurley and that DHARMA van to the rescue… and not for the first time. Or second even.

Everything that Rises Must Converge. Jacob was sitting on a bench when Cooper through Locke out the window. I recongized the building. Did you? OMG, Locke actually died when he fell out the window. Jacob brought him back to life!

“Mind if I ask you a question?”
“I’m a Pisces.”

LOL.

“So yes, I lied. That’s what I do.”

Sun found Aaron’s cradle… and Charlie’s ring. She’s been an afterthought nearly this entire season. Jacob was a guest at Sun and Jin’s wedding. He gave them a blessing.

“Who was that man?”
“I don’t know… but his Korean was excellent.”

Bring on Part 2!
