Pop-Up LOST: There’s No Place Like Home

by Christina Gleason on May 29, 2008

The Oceanic 6 are returning to the base in a U.S Coast Guard C-130 plane. Karen Decker is the name of the Oceanic representative who talks to the them.

Crap. I forgot how emotional I got when I watched this the first time around. I’m all teary-eyed already. Then again, I was tearing up when we watched the beginning of Finding Nemo while waiting to get my son’s hair cut earlier today.

Who’s there to meet them? Hurley’s mom and dad, Sun’s mom and dad, Jack’s mom… and a bunch of other random people we don’t care about.

The satellite phones are only programmed to call each other, not an outside line. Did we know that before?

“Don’t bleed to death, Jack.” That’s a great line for stomping off, Juliet!

Sawyer looks so incredibly lost when he sees Jack and Kate there, with Aaron in his arms. “We lost her,” in reference to Claire, seems like it was written to intentionally mislead people during the promos, making us think that we’d get a straight answer as to whether or not Claire is alive.

Jack is so arrogant about his “responsibility.”

“Take care of the baby.” I guess that becomes a bit less temporary…

I wonder how many Google searches have been done on Membata.

Day 108 is when the Oceanic 6 supposedly left the island of Membata, not when they arrived on the other island where they were discovered by Indonesian fishermen.

Boone, Libby, and Charlie were supposedly the other three people who survived the crash and make it to Membata, but died before they could make it off. Why did they choose those three? Will we get to the answer to that later tonight?

I didn’t realize before that Kate and Aaron’s clothes matched at the initial press conference.

I love Nadia’s blue polka-dotted dress in this scene where she is reunited with Sayid. I want one! Are there any fashionable folks around who can find out who makes it or who sells it? Long shot, I know.

The popup just said that Locke got his instructions to move the island from Jacob. Er… is that implied because Christian said he could speak for Jacob? Or did we just learn that Christian is Jacob? That seems too big a reveal for a silly little popup.

I love the disdain in Ben’s voice when he tells Hurley that the crackers are 15 years old.

We were just reminded that Ben had told Alex that the Temple was the last safe place on the island. Where is the Temple? Could people survive the island being “torched” if they were there?

Charlotte doesn’t know quite what to do with Daniel taking the raft and leaving her on the island. She didn’t know about the secondary protocol until he told her. I’d be pretty scared, too.

Sun is so very pregnant, and she shose those heels to climb all of those stairs at Paik Industries? I thought she had more sense than that. Her back must be killing her!

“Two men are responsible for his death. You are one of them.” Sun is awesomely strong in that scene.

I love the bag of Mr. Cluck’s chicken in Hurley’s hand.

“Jesus Christ is not a weapon.”

Oh wow, I did not catch how they just explained how they snuck the numbers into the scene. I caught 4 fake palm trees and 8 helium balloons, but not the rest. I’ll check it out later on. Someone will get it with TiVo!

Interference is blocking the fathometer. The radio room is down, but something on the ship is broadcasting. I think I missed the technical bits the first time around.

Jack didn’t shave for his father’s wake, when he was giving the eulogy? He’s scruffy.

Claire’s mother’s name is Carole Littleton. Jack had to know by the middle of the conversation that Claire was her daughter. A pretty blonde Aussie girl would have a mom that age. Did Kate hear? The look in her eyes suggests she did.

Less than 5 minutes until the season finale… I’m getting excited…

“I do not work. for Ben.” Nince enunciation there, Michael.

Kate’s stepfather is the one who taught her how to track. It’s handy to have a military father figure when you get stuck on a mysterious island.

That’s a whole lot of Others with guns pointed at Kate and Sayid. I love how they repeatedly point out that Richard “seemingly does not age” in these popup episodes.

I hope Locke can remember all of that. Well, it can’t be the worst, because we know that Jack, Hurley, Kate, and Sayid all make it off the island, evne though we’ve got quite a tenuous captive situation going on here.

I like how Keamy doesn’t seem to think that he needs camoflauge face paint, but his team does.
