Okay, I needed more space! It’s the commercial break immediately following Sawyer’s plunge into the ocean.
Another Sayid hit. Long hair is quite becoming on him, even though he is a hitman.
“I think visiting hours are over, dude.”
What circumstances have changed? Bentham’s dead, two days ago.
Sayid stopped Hurley from saying who Bentham really is. Guessing that it’s Ben seems too easy, too obvious. Bentham? They wouldn’t do that, would they?
Hurley was playing chess against Mr. Eko. Does Hurley get to talk to everyone who died on the island?
Keamy’s last words. “Wherever you go, Widmore will find you.”
“Not if I find him first.”
And there’s the red light.
That was too tense. I couldn’t type at all until this commercial break. Sun watching Jin run up onto the deck of the ship as they pulled away on the helicopter… Oh my God. It’s a miracle they were able to keep her from jumping. They would’ve had to hold me back, in her place.
And Christian showing up to bid Michael farewell? A nice touch. “You can go now.” So I was right. The island was done with him. He was allowed to die. So Hurley did know that Michael was dead when Walt came to visit him in the mental hospital. Desmond would’ve been able to tell him that Michael stayed behind to give everyone else a chance to get off the boat.
I suppose it is possible that Jin could’ve survived. He was on the very edge of the deck when the first explosion occured. He could’ve jumped…
Who is the second man that Sun blames for Jin’s death?
Sun is meeting Mr. Widmore in London. Curious. She’s calling him on his knowledge about the island. Is she going to be able to make him an offer he can’t refuse? “As you know, we’re not the only ones who left the island.” Is she talking about Ben?
“If I were you, I’d duck.”
Is Ben moving the island? Jack told Frank to go back to the island. Moving it would be a good reason for that not to happen.
“Is that our boat?”
“It was.”
Good reason to be drinking DHARMA rum, Juliet. But isn’t it odd that they can see the smoke from the wreckage of the freighter from across the island’s border protections? I think it’s odd.
Right now, Sawyer is just wondering if he made a great decision that just saved his life, or a terrible decision because he left Kate to die while saving his own sorry hide.
Ben’s going somewhere cold. Jacob didn’t tell Locke how to move the island because he didn’t want Locke to suffer the consequences. Whoever moves the island can never come back. This is when Ben ends up in Tunisia. He loses the better part of a year.
“You’ll find your way, John. You always do.” He told Locke how to assume leadership of the Others. Whoa.
Richard Alpert knows. He was expecting it. “Welcome home.”
Ben had to destroy the Vault to get behind it through the hole in the wall, hence all the metal. He’s got a crowbar. Quite the tunnel through there. To a chamber of ice. A broken ladder. Jacob’s ladder? That’s how Ben hurts his arm.
There’s a big friggin’ wheel. Frozen.
“I hope you’re happy now, Jacob.”
Ben seems like way too much fo a wuss to be able to turn that big ol’ wheel that moves the whole island. Is the sky about to turn purple again?
There is a bright light emanating from this wheel. And Ben just got pixellated like Hurley did earlier.
Wow. That was a bright light. And… whoosh. It was gone. That was pretty cool. Except that it sucks for everyone on that raft Dan had, and for the people in the helicopter who were hoping to get back to the island. How do you hold onto a baby when your helicopter crashes into the ocean?
This underwater sequence is too freaky and disturbing.
Desmond… is he okay? He can’t die!He has to get back to Penny! Come on, Jack. Oh good. The island may be gone, taking with it its magical healing powers. But CPR is still CPR.
They keep changing the type of film they’re shooting on. It’s very distracting.
Is Kate about to start seeing dead people in this flash forward? Backward talking on the phone?
OMG. It’s Claire. She came to see Aaron. “Don’t bring him back, Kate. Don’t you dare bring him back.” She dreamt it, but she’s started seeing dead people, too. Only she’s not being told to go back to the island. She’s being told not to bring Aaron back.
Why is Kate telling Aaron she’s sorry?
“I can’t believe he did it.”
“Who did what?”
“Locke. He moved the island.”
“If you’ve got another explanation, man, I’d love to hear it.” Awesome, Hurley.
There’s a boat. This is such a reflection of the season one finale.
“We have to lie.”
This is where the lying starts. Kate doesn’t think they can pull it off, but Jack thinks they can, if they let him do all the talking.
The Searcher. IT’S PENNY’S BOAT!
I’m so happy for Penny and Desmond that I’nm crying. That kiss may be even better than the one Sawyer gave Kate tonight.
“How did you find me?”
“Your phone call. I have a tracking station.”
If they’re going to lie about everything, I guess Penny Widmore is the one who can help them pull it off.
Octagon Global Recruiting. What was that ad all about?
One week later. Membata. Penny’s going to help them stage their fake rescue. “Just long enough to give you a nice, convincing sunburn.”
Well, that explains how Desmond and Frank don’t have to be explained.
“Don’t let ‘em find you, Desmond.”
“I’ll see you in another life, brother.” Nice turnabout.
At least they got a nice week to relax on Penny’s boat before having to start living their life as a lie.
Jack’s flash forward, back at the Hoffs/Drawlar funeral home. He’s gonna break in. To look in the coffin? See if Betham is really dead? The coffin is much bigger now, I think.
Ben is talking to Jack. Alive? “Did he tell you I was off the island?”
“He told me that, after I left the island, some very bad things happened, and it was my fault for leaving. And I had to go back.”
“The island won’t let you come alone. All of you have to go back.”
Ben has a few ideas.
Dammit. Everyone who said that Locke was in the coffin was right. Dammit. Dammit. DAMMIT!
Locke is Jeremy Bentham.
