THIS IS NOT MY USUAL DETAILED EPISODE POST. I WILL DETAIL THIS EPISODE IN ORDER OF ALL EPISODES.
I have NOT re-watched The Economist to detail this episode yet. These are a few things that stuck out to me; things we need to think about. I'll build upon them with my upcoming research.
The Economist is a GREAT episode! WOW! I think by now it's pretty obvious that a number of clues I've bold typed for us since the beginning are indeed constantly brought up.
I was thrilled to see hints to the "Powers that be", persons with power and endless money and resources always have a hand in everything we see. What great secrets are being kept by these powerful people?
'Ben' obviously can travel "to" and "from" that "island" whenever he wants. He wears many masks and could he have different identities too.
Sayid claims to be one of the Oceanic 6. His role happens to be an extension of torturer as he is now a hit man. Yet the word diplomat is associated with him. I find that very important and interesting.
Now that we see that "Ben" can come and go, how does that affect what everyone else's "realities" are? Hmmm?!
Sayid being one who discovers this secret in Ben's closet!
Things to note…Questions to ask...
* I've asked this before, I'll ask it again…How old is 'Ben?' How old is everyone else?
* Finally, acknowledgment to time running different; here time runs slower. Wow, imagine that.
* Desmond gets on the copter even though he knows it's not Penny's boat. WTF?!!!!
* Jack doesn't go on the copter. He feels he's the only one who can rescue the Losties, so why not follow through on the rescue?
* Frank says Sayid "cheated." {He traded Miles for Charlotte}
* Frank bleeds Yankee blue. Tie to New York, The Bronx. Rose is from the Bronx.
* Sayid closes Naomi's and Elsa's eyes.
* Told NOT to talk to Minkowski.
* Regina translates to Queen in Italian.
* Game room.
* Locke makes tea for Sayid. Mikhail brought Sayid and Kate tea in another episode.
* Hurley says 'Oh great. The ship sent us another Sawyer.' {WoooHooo!}
* Elsa wears a similar silver bracelet.
* Daniel's clock on island 2:24:03…The freighter timer 3:16:23.
* Chicken
* Languages.
* Zoned out.
* Mirrors. Broken Mirrors.
* Naomi's dead body. Come on!
* Recruitment. Recruiting.
* Masks. I.D. Passports.
* We've seen that Red Cross symbol before.
* Pager. Beeper
* Old fashioned….How old?
* Numbers
* Colors- Red. Black/Dark. White/Light.
* Sawyer talks about Ben….'shoot off his toe'…Statue clue?
* A German guy is mentioned in an early episode involving the tail section. Germany.
* Note Ben's Passports and Money/pound notes.
* A bigger war!
* Vet. Dogs. Vincent.
* HURLEY.
* Where does the cabin go?
* Kate and Sawyer play house…For how long?
* 'Ben' is still in control of things, but who's 'Ben's' boss?
* Cold. Ice. Chill. Are these clues to the listening station? Or a symbol of the cold hearted side of a person? Or a clue to the 'island' itself?!!
* Ship? Think about it.
* What are the initials on the bracelet?
* "I have work to do."
* Are there people who look identical, but are different?
* Are they really ever out of the "force field/confines" of the "island"? {I think not}
* What is real...what is NOT?
Vocabulary and Research...
* Sir Roy George Douglas Allen, (1906-1983-) was an English economist, mathematician and statistician.
* Hermann Minkowski (June 22,1864– January 12, 1909) was a Lithuanian-born German mathematician. In geometry, the Minkowski sum, also known as dilation, of 2 sets A and B in Euclidean space is the result of adding every element of A to every element of B, i.e. the set. In physics and mathematics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski space time) is the mathematical setting in which Einstein's theory of special relativity is most conveniently formulated. In this setting the 3 ordinary dimensions of space are combined with a single dimension of time to form a 4-dimensional mannifold for representing a space time.
-Oskar Minkowski (January 13, 1858-July 18, 1931) Sanatorium Fürstenburg an der Havel, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany was a famous scientist of German, Jewish and Polish descent.
-Rudolph Minkowski (May 28,1895-January 4, 1976) was a German-American astronomer. His father was the physiologist Oskar Minkowski Hermann Minkowski.
* Espionage is usually part of an institutional effort (i.e., governmental or corporate espionage), and the term is most readily associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies, primarily for military purposes, but this has been extended to spying involving corporations, known specifically as industrial espionage.
The reason I use the word espionage is because Frank asks if Sayid is a diplomat….Diplomatic immunity?!
-Another word for espionage or words associated with it…intelligence, reconnaissance, secret service, shadowing, tailing, undercover operations, undercover work, underground activities, agent, beagle, detective, double agent, emissary, espionage agent, foreign agent, informer, inside man,intelligencer, investigator, lookout, mole, narc, observer, operative, patrol, picket, plant, scout, secret agent, sleeper, sleuth, snoop, spook, spotter, undercover agent, watcher. ALL OF THOSE FIT OUR STORY!
* A pager (beeper) is a simple personal telecommunications device for short messages. A one-way numeric pager can only receive a message consisting of a few digits. Paging was invented by Multitone Electronics in 1956 at St. Thomas' Hospital in London to alert doctors attending emergencies. In the world of paging there are 2 distinct categories of system in operation. There are on-site paging systems that are used in hospitals to convey the same urgent information. The other type is wide area paging, which offers similar features as on-site paging, but provides the radio coverage across a city, region or country rather than in just one hospital building. Pagers are still in use today in places where mobile phones typically cannot reach users, and also in places where the operation of the radio transmitters contained in mobile phones is problematic or prohibited. One such type of location is a large hospital complex. Pagers also have privacy advantages. Since a one-way pager is a passive receiver only (it sends no information back to the base station), its location cannot be tracked.
* An economist is an expert in the social science of economics. The individual may also study, develop, and apply theories and concepts from economics and write about economic policy. Within this field there are many sub-fields, ranging from the broad philosophical theories to the focused study of minutiae within specific markets, macroeconomic analysis, or financial analysis, involving analytical methods and tools such as econometrics, statistics, economics computational models, financial economics, financial mathematics and mathematical economics.
* Michael Faraday, (Sept 22, 1791– Aug 25, 1867) was an English chemmist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of that time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
* In electromagnetism, Maxwell's equations are a set of 4 equations that were first presented as a distinct group in 1884 by Oliver Heaveyside in conjunction with Willard Gibbs. These equations had appeared throughout James Clerk Maxwell's 1861 paper entitled On Physical Lines of Force. Those equations describe the interrelationship between electric field, magnetic field, electric charge and electric current. Although Maxwell himself was the originator of only one of these equations (by virtue of modifying an already existing equation), he derived them all again independently in conjunction with his molecular vortex model of Faraday's "lines of force".
* An electromagnet in its simplest form, is a wire that has been coiled into one or more loops, known as a solenoid. When electric current flows through the wire, a magnetic field is generated. It is concentrated near (and especially inside) the coil, and its field lines are very similar to those for a magnet. The orientation of this effective magnet is determined via the right hand rule. The magnetic moment and the magnetic field of the electromagnet are proportional to the number of loops of wire, to the cross-section of each loop, and to the current passing through the wire. If the coil of wire is wrapped around a material with no special magnetic properties (i.e., cardboard), it will tend to generate a very weak field. However, if it is wrapped around a "soft" ferromagnetic material, such as an iron nail, then the net field produced can result in a several hundred- to thousand fold increase of field strength.
* Permanent magnets occur naturally in some rocks. I.e.. Lodestone.
- You can use magnets in magic.
* Tea. Tea leaf can be used in fortune telling.
* Crystal ball/sphere can be used in fortune telling or is a symbol of divine light, celestial powers.
* Dog. In Greek mythology Cerberus, 3 headed dog, guarded gates of the realm of the dead and acted as a spirit guide. Dogs are also a symbol of faithfulness and protectiveness, of blind love and obedience.
* Silver is a symbol and link to the moon. It's bright but it tarnishes. Symbolizing the corruptible side of human nature, which needs cleaning.
Can I share something with you? Let me tell you what pissed me off….Daniel radio's the 'boat'…there is NO DELAY in communications with the boat, yet there is a delay in the payload arriving. Anyone care to explain that!? Don't tell me it's a plot hole.
They show us an episode with Hurley and Sayid listening to "In the mood" on the radio and Sayid comments it could be coming from any place. Hurley comments it could be coming from any time. So, how come radio waves delay isn't the case here?!!
Are we starting to see things pan out from clues I've highlighted and talked about? Yep, and it's all so damn exciting!!
We're still seeing things/people completely tied to the "island" and that magnet keeps pulling them back!
Past, Present and Future…..
They all are connected! Always have been...Always will be!
Love to all who are "LOST"™

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right! The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either! You all know I hate spoilers and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good! Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.

Two for the Road.
Let's talk about LOST! Two for the Road.
”Michael!” In the jungle Kate tries to wake up Michael, but to no avail.
Jack looks around and suggests, "Maybe they just let him go."
Kate insists "Let him go?! He's alone! They didn’t just push him out into the jungle, Jack! He’s alone.”
Super Jack literally carries unconscious Michael back to camp.
In the hatch Ana Lucia is cutting up fruit. {wears a ring} She looks over to see that Locke is sleeping/snoring on the bottom bunk. Deep sleep. {Crutches.}
We get a shot of the armory door combination lock.
{Flash Whoosh}
A shot of police cars on a rooftop parking lot. {The code/numbers on the roofs of the cars. Ana is in a car with a number on top.}
Ana Lucia's mom, The Captain/Theresa tells Ana she looks tired.
The Captain asks about her whereabouts last night. Ana tells Captain mom that she was home, cooked some dinner and watched TV. {You hear helicopters fly overhead.}
Suspicious mom asks, “What did you watch?”
Ana doesn’t answer. Mom suggests they go for a drive.
At the morgue is the dead body of Jason McCormick.
Mom-“Remember Jason McCormick.”
He was executed. He was found in a parking lot just after 3 am; he was dead an hour before anyone saw him. {He was killed at 2 am.} Crime scene pulled a gun from the dumpster. The registration was filed off, no prints, no witnesses.
Captain Mom feels Ana did it. "This man confesses to shooting you in cold blood and you refuse to ID him, so we had to cut him loose. A week later he shows up with five bullets in his chest because someone shot him in cold blood.”
Ana's reply is that she should get herself a lawyer.
Captain Mom tells Ana that they both know it's going to be a dead end investigation, so if Ana did this she has to let mom help her.
Ana thanks her, but doesn't need any help.
Captain mom- "You don't want my help, you're gonna have to get it from somewhere else. You're a police officer, Ana. If you don't respect me, at least respect that!"
Ana hands her badge to Captain mom and says, “Then I quit.” She opens the door to leave.
{Flash Whoosh}
Ana opens the armory door and enters, “Hey Henry. What do ya say?”
She brings Henry fresh fruit. We see that he hasn't eaten the last serving of fruit. Ana wonders how long he’s going to keep up the hunger strike. Ana tells Henry the story about her being a cop, mentioning how she’s been around a lot of killers in her life. She says she's surprised mostly by how much killers love to talk. She fells Henry is different; quiet.
Henry mumbles something and smirks. {Ana is the one doing all the talking. Fake Henry hasn't talked in days.}
Ana gets in close and tells him to speak up and Henry attacks and chokes her.
Henry- "You killed two of us. Good people who were leaving you alone."
Ana fights back but Henry chokes her again and says "You're the killer Ana Lucia."
Locke knocks out Henry with his crutch.
Locke-"I guess he decided to start talking, huh?!"
Bored Ana is wand-ing people in the airport. {Important! She wands a guy with a lovely plaid shirt. The signs over her head are Priority checkpoint, bars and restaurants, departure gates}
Ana appears very displeased with her current "job".
In the airport bar Ana orders a tequila and tonic from Mike the bartender.
Christian is there, drinking. He turns to Ana and says "Long day, huh? Good to see you again. You, uh, wanded me at security." {When?} He orders another drink and asks her "So how does one get into wand-ing?"
Ana-"One stops being a cop."
Christian- "What a coincidence. I just stopped being a doctor."
He didn't quit. His son ratted him out for drinking on the job; he lost his license.
Ana chuckles and shares with him she doesn’t believe that parents and their kids should work together; too many issues. {Yet this seems to be the case with some Castaways.}
Christian will drink to that. Christian is headed to Sydney, Australia. He asks her if she wants to go with him.
Christian- "Maybe fate has thrown the two of us together, you know, like two drinks in an airport bar.”
Ana wonders, “Why would fate do that?”
Christian- “Oh. The same reason fate does anything. So that we can help each other out. You do need help, right?...Unless you don’t."
He goes on to tell her what he’s doing down there can be a little dangerous and he needs someone to protect him; a “bodyguard'. It’s perfect for someone who stopped being a cop.
Ana-“I don’t even know your name.”
Christian-“Oooh. Let’s not use real names.”
They’ll pick made up names for each other. Ana thinks he looks like a Tom and Christian feels she should be a Sarah. {He says the name with some affection. Reading body language. Ana could appear to seem like 'what have I gotten myself into?' I know, I'm over analyzing again.}
At the beach, Ana is looking into a mirror. {Yes a mirror. We also see Libby's reflection.} She has to stitch herself up.
Ana tells Libby that she cut herself shaving then reveals, "The guy in the hatch tried to kill me."
Libby asks if she's okay.
Ana replies she’s fine, "But he won't be."
Libby advises her not to do anything stupid. {Why would she say that? What do both of these chicks know? They know things.}
Locke is inspecting the blast doors. He heads over to the armory, uses the combination and opens the door.
Henry is sitting in total darkness. Henry forgives John for hitting him with his crutch, “I’m so glad my head didn’t break it.”
Locke turns the lights on and asks Henry why he tried to hurt Ana Lucia but not him. “I was trapped under that blast door, helpless. You could’ve crushed my skull but you didn’t do a thing. Why didn’t ya?”
Henry-"Because you're one of the good ones, John."
John-“What? Good...what?”
Henry tells him that none of this matters; he's dead anyway. "Doctor's gone to make a trade. We both know he'll come back empty handed and then I've lost my value."
Either way he'll end up dead.
Locke wonders why his own people would want to kill him.
Henry-"Because the man in charge. He's a great man, John. A brilliant man. But he's not a forgiving man. He'll kill me because I failed, John. I failed my mission."
John- "What mission?"
Henry-"When that woman caught me in her trap. I was on my way here, John. I was coming for you."
Locke looks uneasy. Distant voices are calling out for Locke to come out here. Kate and Jack hurry in carrying Michael. Locke closes the door on Henry.
Hot Sawyer is by the creek picking fruit. Here comes bitch Ana, touching his mango's! Sawyer’s been knocking those things down for 20 minutes. The Bitch tells him she needs a gun. Sawyer suggests she go to her buddy Jack; he’s got a gun. But Jack is still traipsing around the jungle with Kate.
Ana-“If you got a problem cause he’s making time with your girlfriend, don’t take it out on me, man. How bout you just give me a gun.”
Sawyer tries to chase Ana off like he would a dog. Ana turns and leaves.
{Flash Whoosh}
In a hotel room in Sydney, Ana can’t sleep. {Clock- 3 5 1} She grabs some liquor and looks out the window. {We see her reflection.}
Rough and tired looking Christian knocks on the door, "Sarah. Open the damn door.”
Ana answers.
Christian- "Good. You’re up. It's time. Protection duty. Come on. Let’s go."
Ana- "After four days of drinking and doing nothing, now, in the middle of the night you're ready to go."
That’s exactly right.
Christian- "Fate's calling, Sarah."
In the pouring rain they drive to a small home. {'Walking after midnight' plays.} Christian tells her to pull over, takes another shot and instructs Ana to stay in the car. He knocks on the door. {Blue jeep in the driveway} A blond woman answers. They argue. You can hear Christian yell “She's my daughter and I have every right to see her!"
The blond woman says he doesn't have a right. This angers him and he physically tried to barge into the home. Apparently he wants to see his daughter; and he pays the mortgage, etc."
Ana sees this and gets out, restrains and removes him from the house. As the woman yells “You need help.”
She and Ana share a look.
Back at camp Sayid is digging a hole. Hurley talks to Sayid about the radio they made. He would like it to play some music for Libby. Sayid tells him it only worked once and only for a minute, he’s tried several times since and only gotten static.
Hurley feels "Even that would be good." He also feels he’ll score major points, “Especially when she sees me holding it over my head.” {Hurley likes static? LOL} Very Romantic! Sayid asks why he would hold a static generating radio over his head.
Hurley sounds amazed, "They didn't have 'Say Anything' in Baghdad?”
He explains how in the movie the dude holds the boom box over his head, outside this chick’s window and it plays this Peter Gabriel song, for her and BAM, the girl is his, after her dad goes to jail {The song is called 'In Your Eyes'.}
Sayid drinks water from a DHARMA water bottle, not an Oceanic bottle. Hurley suggests Sayid check it out sometime, “I mean, if we ever get off this Island.”
Sayid suggests the romantic beach 3 kilometers from there. He took Shannon there once.
In the hatch, Jack examines Michael He's not waking up. {Jack’s actually forcing open his eye lids.}
Locke comes in and assumes for a moment that the “deal, the trade” worked. Jack says they didn't give us anything. Locke asks if it was a coincidence that Michael came wondering out of the jungle. Jack says he was shouting and Michael heard his voice. Locke looks confused.
Jack- "What? They just let Michael go, hoping we'd keep our end of the bargain? You think they're on the honor system?" {WTF?! Jack wondered the same thing in the jungle.}
Nurse Kate enters.
Sawyer is walking by a beautiful stream; he hears a twig snap, “Come out, come out whoever you are! I know you’re there. Don’t make me come in after you.”
Guess who appears? Ana Lucia.
Armed Sawyer says, “Well, well, well. What do we got here? Is Little Red Riding Hood gonna follow the Big Bad Wolf back to his stash o’guns?”
Ana, with her arms crossed suggests he give her that one.
Sawyer-"I ain't gonna give me you nothing."
She starts to approach adorable Sawyer and he says, “We’ve been through this Lucy”
She tackles him and they wrestle. {I'm cracking up!}
Ana kisses/seduces/whatever Sawyer. {WTF? I'm just sick right now.}
Ana is driving the car down by the docks. Drunk Christian is with her. Christian needs some damn music in here. Ana asks who the woman is.
Christian-“Who is who?.. She is a very long story, Sarah."
{He's very comfortable with the name Sarah; even when drunk and his head bothering him.}
Ana tells him her real name, but he's still Tom. {He apparently needs to keep his identity a secret.}
They stop outside the 'The Last Call' bar.
Ana-“Why are you here?”
Pathetic Christian tells her "I’m here because I can't apologize to my son. He tried to help me, so I thanked him by cutting him off, I thanked him by hating him. You came here for the same reason I did, kiddo. You ran away."
Christian suggests they go in, where fate has delivered them, and have a drink or 10 and be pathetic together.
Ana declines.
Christian- "That's your call."
Christian opens the car door and hits Sawyer with it! {He appears to be walking away from the bar area, not to it. But what do I know.}
Ana tries to talk Christian into leaving.
Ana - "Lets just get the hell out of Sydney. Let’s just go. Let’s Go Back."
Christian- "I can’t ever go back….See ya, Kiddo." {What are the two of them really involved in here?}
Christian heads to the bar.
In the jungle, Sawyer asks Ana, “Don’t ya want my phone number?"
Ana threatens him "You tell anyone about this, and I'll kill you." {BITCH!}
At the beach food pantry Hurley is packing a big picnic for Libby. Libby thinks the food is for him. Busted Hurley tells her, “This isn’t what it looks like...It looks like something...that...it’s not.”
Libby’s not there to tell him how to act around food. He tells her about the surprise picnic 'date'.
In the hatch Jack is cleaning the medical instruments/tools.
Locke is sitting behind him reading a book.
Ana walks in says to Jack "Hey. You're back...So the Others, they didn’t show up."
She is very surprised to see that Michael is back. {What does she know?}
Jack asked Ana how she got hurt on her head.
Locke makes up a story of how she got hurt. “My fault. I left the tap on in the bathroom sink and Ana wiped out and hit her head on the counter. And I’m sorry, again.” apologizing to Ana.
Michael tells the story about finding the others. "I found them. After I left ...I hiked North, back to where we were (referring to Ana). Hiked to the beach, followed the shoreline, a day later... I saw one...{Locke asks what did he look like}.... Dirty, worn clothing, no shoes, simple. Just like the rest of um…Yeah, his people, The Others. I followed him back to his camp. They live in tents, canvas tents, and teepees. They eat dried fish. They're worse off than we are." He counted 22 of them.
Jack asks about the boat .{The boat.}
Michael didn't see it. Jack asks him if he saw Waaaaaaaaaaalt?
Michael- “No. But I know he’s there. {How?}
Ana asks about everyone else they took; Cindy, any other kids?
He says no. He thinks they're in the same place as his boy. Michael goes on to mention they have a hatch, “There’s a set of metal doors leading underground. What else could it be?... They keep it guarded 24/7. Two guards two guns. And two guns is all I saw. They're barely armed. Most of them are old and half of them are women. {Ana looks troubled}
Mike’s getting emo, he tells them “I couldn't save him. So I came back to tell you. Tell you that we can take them.” {Yeah! Let’s rumble!}
As soon as Michael gets his strength back he's gonna take them back there and they are gonna get his boy back. {WOW! Michael sure can tell a tale! Also, Kate told Jack about the costumes she found in the medical hatch. Why didn't they mention that to Michael?}
Locke is at the computer, drawing/writing.
Jack tells Locke that he was right about Henry. He shouldn't have gotten in his and Sayid's way.
Locke-"You did what you thought was right at the time that you thought it, Jack." {Important statement.}
Locke hopes the next time Jack decides to do something, that it includes him. And something tells him it's going to be soon. {Again, Important statement!}
Jack says Michael said they can take them.
Locke says that their friend with the beard told them not to cross the line. {But Jack crossed the line already}
Jack says they're all liars; why should they take their word on anything. Locke agrees.
Locke and Jack are "Going to get our guns back from Sawyer."
Kate is filling up water bottles. Jack tells Kate they will need her to help convince Sawyer to give up the guns. {Why would Kate be a help with that?}
Ana will stay and take care of Michael. She passes along a message to Jack, "Give Sawyer my best."
Jack- “Alright. We’ll be back soon.”
Ana looks at the armory door. {Ana, Michael and Henry are left in the hatch! YEP. Plus, which one is going to push the button?}
Hurley and Libby are on their way to the secret beach.
Hurley advises Libby to watch her head, “We’re almost there.” {THIS IS IMPORTANT!}
Libby asks him if he ever watched the Flintstones. He says he watched all the time when he was in the hospital... when he broke his hip. {A cover story.}
Libby-"You ever notice how Fred would run by the same thing over and over again. Third time past this tree."
She points to a specific tree. Hurley says that’s a different tree. Exhausted Libby tells him its okay if he’s lost but Hurley insists he’s not lost.
They arrive at the secret beach.
Hurley-“Surprise!”
Libby-"Hurley. This is our beach. There's Jin.”
Indeed he is there cleaning a fish. Libby suggests they have the picnic there and asks for the blankets. But Hurley forgot the blankets and the drinks. Libby will go get the blankets.
Hurley is to find Rose and Bernard for wine they pulled from the pallet. Hurley says if he gets drunk enough "Maybe I can remember where I know you from." {She knows him. He still has to fully recall her!}
Jin gives Hurley the thumbs up.
Sawyer is reading the manuscript for 'Bad Twin'. {Groovy glasses.} Jack wants him to put the book down. Sawyer tells Jack he's going to be the "First and only guy to find out who done it. I think I got it figured out. So cool your damn jets and walk around the coconuts trees, I got like 10 pages left."
Jack throws the manuscript into the fire. “It’s time to give us the guns back.”
Sawyer-“You burn the ending of my book and now you wan…”
Kate tells Sawyer to stop playing around.
Sawyer-“What, you bring her around for a sympathy vote. She aint in my head, Doc. So why don’t you two go play in the jungle.”
Jack pulls a gun on Sawyer.
Sawyer realizes that the BITCH stole his gun! “Son of a bitch.” {She's a thief and a killer.}
Locke seems to “see/think”. {Image of Ana taking a gun out from under a pant leg and opening the armory door.} He needs to tell Jack something.
Ana slides a pocket knife across the floor to Henry, “Pick it up...cut yourself loose.”
Henry seems confused.
Ana tells him "You know why."
As Henry is cutting himself loose he shares with her that Goodwin told them all about her. That she was misunderstood. Goodwin thought she was worthy; about how he can change her; but he was wrong and it cost him his life. Once free, Henry puts down the knife.
Ana states, “He was gonna kill me.”
Henry -"Was he?"
{So Henry had contact with Goodwin all along. Or was this information he had prior?}
Ana asks if he’s done. Yes he is done. Ana aims the gun at Henry.
Henry-“So, this is it, huh?”
Yep.
At the airport check in counter Jack is talking to Chrissy. He’s in the same suit he’s wearing to his father’s funeral and he’s asking her a favor. We see Jin {listening}
We see Ana in a line, listening. Wearing her Brown leather jacket, white shirt with a large round circle in it, 2 necklaces, ring on left hand. {IN ANOTHER 48 DAYS WHEN SHE POPS OUT OF THE WATER IN THE OPENING SCENE SHE IS WEARING HER BLACK TOP, BROWN JACKET, NO NECKLACES!}
Jack’s dialogue goes on to say that he can’t take his time with it because, “I need it to be done. I need it to be over.”
Ana hears all this and makes a phone call while standing in the cue.
No longer in a line, we hear Ana’s end of the call. "That was an airplane...No. I’m not at work. I’m in Sydney...That’s right, Australia...I...I don’t know...I made a mistake, mom. You knew, so I got as far away from you as I could. But now, I want to come home."
Captain Mom tells her to come home.
Ana says she's on Oceanic flight 815. Mom will be there when she lands.
{Flash Whoosh}
In the hatch, Ana is on the couch with the gun. She seems worn out and melancholy.
Michael asks where everyone is.
Ana informs him what he said got everyone worked up, they went to get all the guns back from Sawyer.
Michael seems surprised Sawyer has all the guns, “At least he didn’t get that one.”
Too bad she can’t use it, “We caught one of them. The Others. He's locked in there.” For over a week.
Michael asks if she’s taking care of him.
Ana-“He tried to kill me today. So I wanted him dead.”
But she couldn't do it. "I couldn’t even kill him. I looked at him and he…I can't do this anymore."
Michael offers to do it. He's seen these people and they are animals.
Ana gives him the combination. 18 right, 1 left, 31 right.
Michael says, “I’m sorry.” and shoots Ana!!!! {I'm doing the happy dance right now!!}
Libby enters with the blankets and he fires two shots into her.
Michael opens the armory door, looks directly at Henry and shoots himself in the left arm.
Two for the Road is a great episode! It is very important.
We have been seeing not just connections but also parallels, repetitive situations, and "time issues". Not to mention trades, missions, scoring major points and the loss of value! What is this...a friggin' video game?!
Plus...damn are these people tired!!
Things to note...Questions to ask...
♟ I'm jumping up on my soapbox again...I still feel "Flashes" are not in time order! They are not linear. They jump around and are blurred together. I don't think they're what we're led to believe they are.
♟ How much time passed between Ana quitting her cop job then working security at an airport to when she hooks up with Christian?
♟ Ana doesn't accept help from her mother. Why?
♟ Ana wearing two different outfit's the day of the "flight"? Are all "flights" to the "Island" called Oceanic 8 1 5? LOL!!! Are they showing us different trips/times to the "Island"? Maybe Ana was not on the "plane". The Tailies are never seen on the "plane". They make mention that they are, but we never see them (up to this point anyway). Does that mean anything? What the hell do I know? LOL!!! I just find it pretty important that we see Ana popping up out of the water in different clothes in another episode!
♟ Ana's role/job is a police officer, although she ends up working security. Is Ana security for the "Island"? Security or a killer? Both?
♟ Bodyguard.
♟ Bad Twin did get made in to a book and published.
♟ I always felt that Christian makes MANY trips to Australia over many, many years. Does Christian have a role with the island too? He is a rich doctor. In addition to that could he be a head hunter for the "Island"?
♟Ana wands Christian at the airport
♟Ben wands Jack at the airport in Locke's vision in "Further Instructions".
♟Ana meets Christian in an airport bar. Ana meets Jack in an airport bar. Coincidence? Not! What is Christian's meeting Ana, and then Ana's meeting Jack in the similar airport bar situation.
♟ Jack throws the manuscript into the fire.
♟ Michael throws the comic book into the fire.
♟Jack and Ana have to go to a morgue to ID someone.
♟ I.D. (identity) NO I.D.. Making up names and changes jobs and roles.
♟Manuscript/script.
♟Mission. Worth. Value. Cost. Strength. Points.
♟ Color of this episode-Red.
♟ Who is “Fate”?
♟10
♟ Static.
♟ Just for laughs, I'll mention that Peter Gabriel was in the band Genesis at one time. Genesis=Beginning
Vocabulary and Research...

Here Ana outright says she 'can't do this anymore'; she's done and also that she wants to go home and low and behold she's out of the adventure/journey/game (level). Interesting huh?
Jack and Christian's issues are all over this episode too. Jack has some major healing to do. We have come back to Jack at the Oceanic counter a couple of times, all painfully pleading that he can’t take his time with it {burying Christian}, because, “I need it to be done. I need it to be over.”
BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK!!!!!!!
Libby's Flintstones comment! WOW! That's fucking important!! A clue to them reliving or redoing the same thing over and over. Is this a clue to them returning back to the "Island" or just having to start over or both. If they are part of a study or experiment or just playing things over, have they been back 10 times? Or just once before and this is the sequel?
Coincidence or Fate? Are all the situations in this episode just coincidences or has "Fate" stepped in to be sure these people and situations play out? There's got to be more than coincidence at play here.
Two for the road...Who is leading who down this road? Does Christian lead Ana? Does Ana lead Jack? What about Henry, Locke and Hurley?
For everyone all roads lead to the "Island".
Are the two for the road Ana Lucia and Libby, or is it two ....?

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
”Michael!” In the jungle Kate tries to wake up Michael, but to no avail.
Jack looks around and suggests, "Maybe they just let him go."
Kate insists "Let him go?! He's alone! They didn’t just push him out into the jungle, Jack! He’s alone.”
Super Jack literally carries unconscious Michael back to camp.
In the hatch Ana Lucia is cutting up fruit. {wears a ring} She looks over to see that Locke is sleeping/snoring on the bottom bunk. Deep sleep. {Crutches.}
We get a shot of the armory door combination lock.
{Flash Whoosh}
A shot of police cars on a rooftop parking lot. {The code/numbers on the roofs of the cars. Ana is in a car with a number on top.}
Ana Lucia's mom, The Captain/Theresa tells Ana she looks tired.
The Captain asks about her whereabouts last night. Ana tells Captain mom that she was home, cooked some dinner and watched TV. {You hear helicopters fly overhead.}
Suspicious mom asks, “What did you watch?”
Ana doesn’t answer. Mom suggests they go for a drive.
At the morgue is the dead body of Jason McCormick.
Mom-“Remember Jason McCormick.”
He was executed. He was found in a parking lot just after 3 am; he was dead an hour before anyone saw him. {He was killed at 2 am.} Crime scene pulled a gun from the dumpster. The registration was filed off, no prints, no witnesses.
Captain Mom feels Ana did it. "This man confesses to shooting you in cold blood and you refuse to ID him, so we had to cut him loose. A week later he shows up with five bullets in his chest because someone shot him in cold blood.”
Ana's reply is that she should get herself a lawyer.
Captain Mom tells Ana that they both know it's going to be a dead end investigation, so if Ana did this she has to let mom help her.
Ana thanks her, but doesn't need any help.
Captain mom- "You don't want my help, you're gonna have to get it from somewhere else. You're a police officer, Ana. If you don't respect me, at least respect that!"
Ana hands her badge to Captain mom and says, “Then I quit.” She opens the door to leave.
{Flash Whoosh}
Ana opens the armory door and enters, “Hey Henry. What do ya say?”
She brings Henry fresh fruit. We see that he hasn't eaten the last serving of fruit. Ana wonders how long he’s going to keep up the hunger strike. Ana tells Henry the story about her being a cop, mentioning how she’s been around a lot of killers in her life. She says she's surprised mostly by how much killers love to talk. She fells Henry is different; quiet.
Henry mumbles something and smirks. {Ana is the one doing all the talking. Fake Henry hasn't talked in days.}
Ana gets in close and tells him to speak up and Henry attacks and chokes her.
Henry- "You killed two of us. Good people who were leaving you alone."
Ana fights back but Henry chokes her again and says "You're the killer Ana Lucia."
Locke knocks out Henry with his crutch.
Locke-"I guess he decided to start talking, huh?!"
Bored Ana is wand-ing people in the airport. {Important! She wands a guy with a lovely plaid shirt. The signs over her head are Priority checkpoint, bars and restaurants, departure gates}
Ana appears very displeased with her current "job".
In the airport bar Ana orders a tequila and tonic from Mike the bartender.
Christian is there, drinking. He turns to Ana and says "Long day, huh? Good to see you again. You, uh, wanded me at security." {When?} He orders another drink and asks her "So how does one get into wand-ing?"
Ana-"One stops being a cop."
Christian- "What a coincidence. I just stopped being a doctor."
He didn't quit. His son ratted him out for drinking on the job; he lost his license.
Ana chuckles and shares with him she doesn’t believe that parents and their kids should work together; too many issues. {Yet this seems to be the case with some Castaways.}
Christian will drink to that. Christian is headed to Sydney, Australia. He asks her if she wants to go with him.
Christian- "Maybe fate has thrown the two of us together, you know, like two drinks in an airport bar.”
Ana wonders, “Why would fate do that?”
Christian- “Oh. The same reason fate does anything. So that we can help each other out. You do need help, right?...Unless you don’t."
He goes on to tell her what he’s doing down there can be a little dangerous and he needs someone to protect him; a “bodyguard'. It’s perfect for someone who stopped being a cop.
Ana-“I don’t even know your name.”
Christian-“Oooh. Let’s not use real names.”
They’ll pick made up names for each other. Ana thinks he looks like a Tom and Christian feels she should be a Sarah. {He says the name with some affection. Reading body language. Ana could appear to seem like 'what have I gotten myself into?' I know, I'm over analyzing again.}
At the beach, Ana is looking into a mirror. {Yes a mirror. We also see Libby's reflection.} She has to stitch herself up.
Ana tells Libby that she cut herself shaving then reveals, "The guy in the hatch tried to kill me."
Libby asks if she's okay.
Ana replies she’s fine, "But he won't be."
Libby advises her not to do anything stupid. {Why would she say that? What do both of these chicks know? They know things.}
Locke is inspecting the blast doors. He heads over to the armory, uses the combination and opens the door.
Henry is sitting in total darkness. Henry forgives John for hitting him with his crutch, “I’m so glad my head didn’t break it.”
Locke turns the lights on and asks Henry why he tried to hurt Ana Lucia but not him. “I was trapped under that blast door, helpless. You could’ve crushed my skull but you didn’t do a thing. Why didn’t ya?”
Henry-"Because you're one of the good ones, John."
John-“What? Good...what?”
Henry tells him that none of this matters; he's dead anyway. "Doctor's gone to make a trade. We both know he'll come back empty handed and then I've lost my value."
Either way he'll end up dead.
Locke wonders why his own people would want to kill him.
Henry-"Because the man in charge. He's a great man, John. A brilliant man. But he's not a forgiving man. He'll kill me because I failed, John. I failed my mission."
John- "What mission?"
Henry-"When that woman caught me in her trap. I was on my way here, John. I was coming for you."
Locke looks uneasy. Distant voices are calling out for Locke to come out here. Kate and Jack hurry in carrying Michael. Locke closes the door on Henry.
Hot Sawyer is by the creek picking fruit. Here comes bitch Ana, touching his mango's! Sawyer’s been knocking those things down for 20 minutes. The Bitch tells him she needs a gun. Sawyer suggests she go to her buddy Jack; he’s got a gun. But Jack is still traipsing around the jungle with Kate.
Ana-“If you got a problem cause he’s making time with your girlfriend, don’t take it out on me, man. How bout you just give me a gun.”
Sawyer tries to chase Ana off like he would a dog. Ana turns and leaves.
{Flash Whoosh}
In a hotel room in Sydney, Ana can’t sleep. {Clock- 3 5 1} She grabs some liquor and looks out the window. {We see her reflection.}
Rough and tired looking Christian knocks on the door, "Sarah. Open the damn door.”
Ana answers.
Christian- "Good. You’re up. It's time. Protection duty. Come on. Let’s go."
Ana- "After four days of drinking and doing nothing, now, in the middle of the night you're ready to go."
That’s exactly right.
Christian- "Fate's calling, Sarah."
In the pouring rain they drive to a small home. {'Walking after midnight' plays.} Christian tells her to pull over, takes another shot and instructs Ana to stay in the car. He knocks on the door. {Blue jeep in the driveway} A blond woman answers. They argue. You can hear Christian yell “She's my daughter and I have every right to see her!"
The blond woman says he doesn't have a right. This angers him and he physically tried to barge into the home. Apparently he wants to see his daughter; and he pays the mortgage, etc."
Ana sees this and gets out, restrains and removes him from the house. As the woman yells “You need help.”
She and Ana share a look.
Back at camp Sayid is digging a hole. Hurley talks to Sayid about the radio they made. He would like it to play some music for Libby. Sayid tells him it only worked once and only for a minute, he’s tried several times since and only gotten static.
Hurley feels "Even that would be good." He also feels he’ll score major points, “Especially when she sees me holding it over my head.” {Hurley likes static? LOL} Very Romantic! Sayid asks why he would hold a static generating radio over his head.
Hurley sounds amazed, "They didn't have 'Say Anything' in Baghdad?”
He explains how in the movie the dude holds the boom box over his head, outside this chick’s window and it plays this Peter Gabriel song, for her and BAM, the girl is his, after her dad goes to jail {The song is called 'In Your Eyes'.}
Sayid drinks water from a DHARMA water bottle, not an Oceanic bottle. Hurley suggests Sayid check it out sometime, “I mean, if we ever get off this Island.”
Sayid suggests the romantic beach 3 kilometers from there. He took Shannon there once.
In the hatch, Jack examines Michael He's not waking up. {Jack’s actually forcing open his eye lids.}
Locke comes in and assumes for a moment that the “deal, the trade” worked. Jack says they didn't give us anything. Locke asks if it was a coincidence that Michael came wondering out of the jungle. Jack says he was shouting and Michael heard his voice. Locke looks confused.
Jack- "What? They just let Michael go, hoping we'd keep our end of the bargain? You think they're on the honor system?" {WTF?! Jack wondered the same thing in the jungle.}
Nurse Kate enters.
Sawyer is walking by a beautiful stream; he hears a twig snap, “Come out, come out whoever you are! I know you’re there. Don’t make me come in after you.”
Guess who appears? Ana Lucia.
Armed Sawyer says, “Well, well, well. What do we got here? Is Little Red Riding Hood gonna follow the Big Bad Wolf back to his stash o’guns?”
Ana, with her arms crossed suggests he give her that one.
Sawyer-"I ain't gonna give me you nothing."
She starts to approach adorable Sawyer and he says, “We’ve been through this Lucy”
She tackles him and they wrestle. {I'm cracking up!}
Ana kisses/seduces/whatever Sawyer. {WTF? I'm just sick right now.}
Ana is driving the car down by the docks. Drunk Christian is with her. Christian needs some damn music in here. Ana asks who the woman is.
Christian-“Who is who?.. She is a very long story, Sarah."
{He's very comfortable with the name Sarah; even when drunk and his head bothering him.}
Ana tells him her real name, but he's still Tom. {He apparently needs to keep his identity a secret.}
They stop outside the 'The Last Call' bar.
Ana-“Why are you here?”
Pathetic Christian tells her "I’m here because I can't apologize to my son. He tried to help me, so I thanked him by cutting him off, I thanked him by hating him. You came here for the same reason I did, kiddo. You ran away."
Christian suggests they go in, where fate has delivered them, and have a drink or 10 and be pathetic together.
Ana declines.
Christian- "That's your call."
Christian opens the car door and hits Sawyer with it! {He appears to be walking away from the bar area, not to it. But what do I know.}
Ana tries to talk Christian into leaving.
Ana - "Lets just get the hell out of Sydney. Let’s just go. Let’s Go Back."
Christian- "I can’t ever go back….See ya, Kiddo." {What are the two of them really involved in here?}
Christian heads to the bar.
In the jungle, Sawyer asks Ana, “Don’t ya want my phone number?"
Ana threatens him "You tell anyone about this, and I'll kill you." {BITCH!}
At the beach food pantry Hurley is packing a big picnic for Libby. Libby thinks the food is for him. Busted Hurley tells her, “This isn’t what it looks like...It looks like something...that...it’s not.”
Libby’s not there to tell him how to act around food. He tells her about the surprise picnic 'date'.
In the hatch Jack is cleaning the medical instruments/tools.
Locke is sitting behind him reading a book.
Ana walks in says to Jack "Hey. You're back...So the Others, they didn’t show up."
She is very surprised to see that Michael is back. {What does she know?}
Jack asked Ana how she got hurt on her head.
Locke makes up a story of how she got hurt. “My fault. I left the tap on in the bathroom sink and Ana wiped out and hit her head on the counter. And I’m sorry, again.” apologizing to Ana.
Michael tells the story about finding the others. "I found them. After I left ...I hiked North, back to where we were (referring to Ana). Hiked to the beach, followed the shoreline, a day later... I saw one...{Locke asks what did he look like}.... Dirty, worn clothing, no shoes, simple. Just like the rest of um…Yeah, his people, The Others. I followed him back to his camp. They live in tents, canvas tents, and teepees. They eat dried fish. They're worse off than we are." He counted 22 of them.
Jack asks about the boat .{The boat.}
Michael didn't see it. Jack asks him if he saw Waaaaaaaaaaalt?
Michael- “No. But I know he’s there. {How?}
Ana asks about everyone else they took; Cindy, any other kids?
He says no. He thinks they're in the same place as his boy. Michael goes on to mention they have a hatch, “There’s a set of metal doors leading underground. What else could it be?... They keep it guarded 24/7. Two guards two guns. And two guns is all I saw. They're barely armed. Most of them are old and half of them are women. {Ana looks troubled}
Mike’s getting emo, he tells them “I couldn't save him. So I came back to tell you. Tell you that we can take them.” {Yeah! Let’s rumble!}
As soon as Michael gets his strength back he's gonna take them back there and they are gonna get his boy back. {WOW! Michael sure can tell a tale! Also, Kate told Jack about the costumes she found in the medical hatch. Why didn't they mention that to Michael?}
Locke is at the computer, drawing/writing.
Jack tells Locke that he was right about Henry. He shouldn't have gotten in his and Sayid's way.
Locke-"You did what you thought was right at the time that you thought it, Jack." {Important statement.}
Locke hopes the next time Jack decides to do something, that it includes him. And something tells him it's going to be soon. {Again, Important statement!}
Jack says Michael said they can take them.
Locke says that their friend with the beard told them not to cross the line. {But Jack crossed the line already}
Jack says they're all liars; why should they take their word on anything. Locke agrees.
Locke and Jack are "Going to get our guns back from Sawyer."
Kate is filling up water bottles. Jack tells Kate they will need her to help convince Sawyer to give up the guns. {Why would Kate be a help with that?}
Ana will stay and take care of Michael. She passes along a message to Jack, "Give Sawyer my best."
Jack- “Alright. We’ll be back soon.”
Ana looks at the armory door. {Ana, Michael and Henry are left in the hatch! YEP. Plus, which one is going to push the button?}
Hurley and Libby are on their way to the secret beach.
Hurley advises Libby to watch her head, “We’re almost there.” {THIS IS IMPORTANT!}
Libby asks him if he ever watched the Flintstones. He says he watched all the time when he was in the hospital... when he broke his hip. {A cover story.}
Libby-"You ever notice how Fred would run by the same thing over and over again. Third time past this tree."
She points to a specific tree. Hurley says that’s a different tree. Exhausted Libby tells him its okay if he’s lost but Hurley insists he’s not lost.
They arrive at the secret beach.
Hurley-“Surprise!”
Libby-"Hurley. This is our beach. There's Jin.”
Indeed he is there cleaning a fish. Libby suggests they have the picnic there and asks for the blankets. But Hurley forgot the blankets and the drinks. Libby will go get the blankets.
Hurley is to find Rose and Bernard for wine they pulled from the pallet. Hurley says if he gets drunk enough "Maybe I can remember where I know you from." {She knows him. He still has to fully recall her!}
Jin gives Hurley the thumbs up.
Sawyer is reading the manuscript for 'Bad Twin'. {Groovy glasses.} Jack wants him to put the book down. Sawyer tells Jack he's going to be the "First and only guy to find out who done it. I think I got it figured out. So cool your damn jets and walk around the coconuts trees, I got like 10 pages left."
Jack throws the manuscript into the fire. “It’s time to give us the guns back.”
Sawyer-“You burn the ending of my book and now you wan…”
Kate tells Sawyer to stop playing around.
Sawyer-“What, you bring her around for a sympathy vote. She aint in my head, Doc. So why don’t you two go play in the jungle.”
Jack pulls a gun on Sawyer.
Sawyer realizes that the BITCH stole his gun! “Son of a bitch.” {She's a thief and a killer.}
Locke seems to “see/think”. {Image of Ana taking a gun out from under a pant leg and opening the armory door.} He needs to tell Jack something.
Ana slides a pocket knife across the floor to Henry, “Pick it up...cut yourself loose.”
Henry seems confused.
Ana tells him "You know why."
As Henry is cutting himself loose he shares with her that Goodwin told them all about her. That she was misunderstood. Goodwin thought she was worthy; about how he can change her; but he was wrong and it cost him his life. Once free, Henry puts down the knife.
Ana states, “He was gonna kill me.”
Henry -"Was he?"
{So Henry had contact with Goodwin all along. Or was this information he had prior?}
Ana asks if he’s done. Yes he is done. Ana aims the gun at Henry.
Henry-“So, this is it, huh?”
Yep.
At the airport check in counter Jack is talking to Chrissy. He’s in the same suit he’s wearing to his father’s funeral and he’s asking her a favor. We see Jin {listening}
We see Ana in a line, listening. Wearing her Brown leather jacket, white shirt with a large round circle in it, 2 necklaces, ring on left hand. {IN ANOTHER 48 DAYS WHEN SHE POPS OUT OF THE WATER IN THE OPENING SCENE SHE IS WEARING HER BLACK TOP, BROWN JACKET, NO NECKLACES!}
Jack’s dialogue goes on to say that he can’t take his time with it because, “I need it to be done. I need it to be over.”
Ana hears all this and makes a phone call while standing in the cue.
No longer in a line, we hear Ana’s end of the call. "That was an airplane...No. I’m not at work. I’m in Sydney...That’s right, Australia...I...I don’t know...I made a mistake, mom. You knew, so I got as far away from you as I could. But now, I want to come home."
Captain Mom tells her to come home.
Ana says she's on Oceanic flight 815. Mom will be there when she lands.
{Flash Whoosh}
In the hatch, Ana is on the couch with the gun. She seems worn out and melancholy.
Michael asks where everyone is.
Ana informs him what he said got everyone worked up, they went to get all the guns back from Sawyer.
Michael seems surprised Sawyer has all the guns, “At least he didn’t get that one.”
Too bad she can’t use it, “We caught one of them. The Others. He's locked in there.” For over a week.
Michael asks if she’s taking care of him.
Ana-“He tried to kill me today. So I wanted him dead.”
But she couldn't do it. "I couldn’t even kill him. I looked at him and he…I can't do this anymore."
Michael offers to do it. He's seen these people and they are animals.
Ana gives him the combination. 18 right, 1 left, 31 right.
Michael says, “I’m sorry.” and shoots Ana!!!! {I'm doing the happy dance right now!!}
Libby enters with the blankets and he fires two shots into her.
Michael opens the armory door, looks directly at Henry and shoots himself in the left arm.
Two for the Road is a great episode! It is very important.
We have been seeing not just connections but also parallels, repetitive situations, and "time issues". Not to mention trades, missions, scoring major points and the loss of value! What is this...a friggin' video game?!
Plus...damn are these people tired!!
Things to note...Questions to ask...
♟ I'm jumping up on my soapbox again...I still feel "Flashes" are not in time order! They are not linear. They jump around and are blurred together. I don't think they're what we're led to believe they are.
♟ How much time passed between Ana quitting her cop job then working security at an airport to when she hooks up with Christian?
♟ Ana doesn't accept help from her mother. Why?
♟ Ana wearing two different outfit's the day of the "flight"? Are all "flights" to the "Island" called Oceanic 8 1 5? LOL!!! Are they showing us different trips/times to the "Island"? Maybe Ana was not on the "plane". The Tailies are never seen on the "plane". They make mention that they are, but we never see them (up to this point anyway). Does that mean anything? What the hell do I know? LOL!!! I just find it pretty important that we see Ana popping up out of the water in different clothes in another episode!
♟ Ana's role/job is a police officer, although she ends up working security. Is Ana security for the "Island"? Security or a killer? Both?
♟ Bodyguard.
♟ Bad Twin did get made in to a book and published.
♟ I always felt that Christian makes MANY trips to Australia over many, many years. Does Christian have a role with the island too? He is a rich doctor. In addition to that could he be a head hunter for the "Island"?
♟Ana wands Christian at the airport
♟Ben wands Jack at the airport in Locke's vision in "Further Instructions".
♟Ana meets Christian in an airport bar. Ana meets Jack in an airport bar. Coincidence? Not! What is Christian's meeting Ana, and then Ana's meeting Jack in the similar airport bar situation.
♟ Jack throws the manuscript into the fire.
♟ Michael throws the comic book into the fire.
♟Jack and Ana have to go to a morgue to ID someone.
♟ I.D. (identity) NO I.D.. Making up names and changes jobs and roles.
♟Manuscript/script.
♟Mission. Worth. Value. Cost. Strength. Points.
♟ Color of this episode-Red.
♟ Who is “Fate”?
♟10
♟ Static.
♟ Just for laughs, I'll mention that Peter Gabriel was in the band Genesis at one time. Genesis=Beginning
Vocabulary and Research...

Here Ana outright says she 'can't do this anymore'; she's done and also that she wants to go home and low and behold she's out of the adventure/journey/game (level). Interesting huh?
Jack and Christian's issues are all over this episode too. Jack has some major healing to do. We have come back to Jack at the Oceanic counter a couple of times, all painfully pleading that he can’t take his time with it {burying Christian}, because, “I need it to be done. I need it to be over.”
BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK BACK!!!!!!!
Libby's Flintstones comment! WOW! That's fucking important!! A clue to them reliving or redoing the same thing over and over. Is this a clue to them returning back to the "Island" or just having to start over or both. If they are part of a study or experiment or just playing things over, have they been back 10 times? Or just once before and this is the sequel?
Coincidence or Fate? Are all the situations in this episode just coincidences or has "Fate" stepped in to be sure these people and situations play out? There's got to be more than coincidence at play here.
Two for the road...Who is leading who down this road? Does Christian lead Ana? Does Ana lead Jack? What about Henry, Locke and Hurley?
For everyone all roads lead to the "Island".
Are the two for the road Ana Lucia and Libby, or is it two ....?

It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
What Kate Did.
Let's talk about LOST! What Kate Did.
{Click the pics!}
Jin and Sun emerge from their tent from an obvious happy reunion.
Hurley gives them his approval; thumbs up. Sun looks over to see Sayid is digging a grave for Shannon.
“Sorry, man I know this hurts” Jack says to semi-unconscious Sawyer. As Jack tends to his shoulder he speaks as if Sawyer can hear him. “Michael told me you pulled the bullet out with you bare hands. Have to show me how to do that sometime.”
Weak Sawyer whisper mumbles something. Jack didn’t hear it so sawyer repeats, "Where is she?"
Jack assumes he means Kate and informs him that Kate's been watching over him 24 hours straight. The only way he could get rid of her was to send her out to get Sawyer some food. Sawyer whispers, "I love her". I think Jack knows that's the truth.
In the jungle Kate is up in a tree on a branch picking fruit/Mango. She slides down the branch, dropping 3 Mango and when she picks them up, behind her she sees a beautiful black horse. {Damn that chick is strong!} When she gets up the horse gallops away.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is sitting on the steps of the house playing with a lighter. It is nighttime. She is wearing a Janis Joplin t-shirt. {A song plays something about Alabama-I think} A pickup truck pulls up and drunk Wayne gets out asking “Hey, girl. What are you doing here?” {He’s wearing a damn plaid shirt!}
When they enter the house apparently he smells something.
Kate-“Probably your breath.”
She puts him to bed. As Kate is removing his shoes he goes on about how beautiful she is. Creepy, indeed.
Kate exits the house, gets on her bitchin' motorcycle and the house explodes behind her. {What a rebel!}
Kate enters a small diner and the waitress offers her “coffee, pie, both?” Kate orders a beer. The waitress is Kate’s mother, Diane. Katherine is 24 years old.
Diane would like to see some I.D. Diane realizes Kate drives around on that deathtrap but she is not going to help her "cause" by getting her drunk. {Kate has a "cause"? WOW!} Kate asks her about her left wrist. Diane blames the injury on a shelf she forgot was there and she banged her wrist.
Kate tells her, “Don’t” {we are to believe her husband is abusive.}
Diane-“I made my bed, Katherine.”
Kate informs mom that her bed is gone. Kate presents her mom with an insurance policy she took out on the house for her; in her name. At first Diane seems pleased but then realizes there’s something wrong.
Diane- "What did you do? Does Wayne know about this?"
Kate- “Just remember that you were here and you didn't see me, OK."
Diane demands to know, "What did you do?"
Kate- "I took care of you, ma. I gotta go. You're not going to see me for a while."
Diane is stunned. Kate hugs and kisses her goodbye. {The song 'The End of the World' is playing in the background}
Diane continues to ask, “What did you do?”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate returns to the hatch to find Jack putting cool compresses on Sawyer’s head. He asks Kate if she’s okay. Kate thinks she’s just getting tired. Sawyer still has a fever and Jack can’t tell if the antibiotics are working but it will help to get some food in him. Jack suggests she get down to the beach for Shannon, but Kate would rather stay and watch Sawyer. She feels Jack should be there {for Shannon}. Jack says OK and instructs her to keep Sawyer hydrated, mash up some fruit and see if she can get him to eat it, everybody will be at the beach so don't forget the button. Kate’s got it. Jack will be back in a couple of hours, “You’re sure you’re okay.”
Kate smiles and says she’s great.
At the beach Eko and his stick walk over to Ana Lucia who is banging a stick into the ground. Ana is living at their camp. {WTF? Who invited her? I thought she was going to live alone in the jungle! She sent Michael for supplies and socks! Bitch!}
Eko tells Ana that he's going to the funeral.
Ana-“I don’t think I’m gonna make it.” {Doh! Is that a Freudian slip?!}
Eko wants her to know he thinks most of them realize it was an accident. Ana continues her solo work with her stick.
Everyone gathers for Shannon.
Sad Sayid {wearing a collar polo shirt} speaks at the funeral. “Shannon and I were strangers. We never would have met if…we wouldn’t even have spoken if… But we did meet and we did speak… At least…I loved her.” He cries and walks away.
Jack takes a handful of dirt and pours it onto Shannon's body, "May she rest in peace".
They all follow Jacks lead/action. {Locke is next}
Kate put on a Patsy Cline {Walking after midnight} album on the record player; it makes her smile. Kate talks to unconscious Sawyer about mashing him up some fruit.
Kate-“When you wake up you're gonna get a kick out of me feeding you like a baby. I saw a horse. Yeah, that’s what happens when you don’t sleep.”
Sawyer starts to stir and whisper mumbles something.
Kate leans over him asking if he’s awake and Sawyer wakes up, chokes her and says "You killed me. Why did you kill me?!"
{Let’s remember that for another time.}
Jack and Locke get back to the hatch to Kate’s record having ended {needle just dragging} and the alarm beeping but Kate isn't there.
Locke enters the computer room with 22 seconds to go and enters in the wrong number and has to re-enter them {putting 22 for 23}.
Sawyer is on the floor; Jack checks his pulse.
Jack lifts Sawyer back into the lower bunk.
Locke wonders, “Where’s Kate?”
Kate walks through the jungle as Charlie happens by. He notes she missed the funeral, "A few of them came, the new people. Not her, the one who killed Shannon that would have been a bit awkward. Seemed to have had a rough time of it. Looks like they went bloody Lord of the Flies out there." {Watch Kate here}
Kate hasn’t listened to a word Charlie said because she looks zoned and appears as if she’s seeing something for a second.
Kate- “Do you think there are horses here?”
She shares she thinks she saw a horse in the jungle.
Unimpressed Charlie- “Seen polar bears. Seen Monsters, well, heard monsters, but…horses…no.”
Kate just heads off.
Charlie- “Kate! Where are you going?!”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is at the bus station, at the window buying a one way ticket to Tallahassee. The marshal/Edward is behind unsuspecting Kate on line and just chats from behind, "Tallahassee. I spent a week in Tallahassee one night" {1 Week= 1 night. WTF?! Time traveling?! lol} it’s all strip malls and waffle houses. What's a pretty girl like you going to do down in Tallahassee?”
Kate, never turning around answers, “I’m sure I’ll find something.”
The marshal/Edward- “Bet you've got family down there."
Kate turns to him, “Actually I’m just visiting.”
Edward- "Hey. Hey. Don't I know you? {Kate looks around and gets nervous and starts to leave. He grabs her arm} Don't run Kate.”
Kate hits him and tries to run. The marshal grabs and cuffs her, “Kate Austen, you’re under arrest for murder.“
Kate- “I didn’t do anything.”
Edward- “Oh yeah you did. Your mama gave you up, Kate." {She looks confused.} He walks her out.
{Flash Whoosh}
Charlie is playing guitar by the campfire. Jack comes over and asks him if he's seen Kate.
Charlie-“Ahhh… a little while ago in the jungle, she was acting kinda balmy asking me about horses on the Island.“
Jack asks where she is now.
Charlie-"She's on the path heading back to the caves." {Path to caves hmmm…}
Locke frees Jin of his one handcuff.
Jin says "Thank you" in English of course.
Locke smiles, "Free at last, huh.”
{Timer- 79}
Happy Jin shows Michael the removed cuff.
Michael smiles-"Yeah man, looks good."
Jin smiles (because he understands) and walks on. Michael is feeling around the door frame and asks Locke, “What’s up with the blast doors?”
Locke seems surprised "Blast doors?"
Michael-“Yeah. Like in case of an explosion, they come from the ceiling. That guy down here, uh…Desmond. He didn’t tell you about these, what they’re for?”
Locke checks them out. “No. No he didn't. But he did leave a movie. {Movie?} Yeah. Wanna see it?"
Out of nowhere Eko says he would like to see it too; if they don’t mind. Locke feels the more the merrier!
{Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE MATTHEW FOX! Yes, if he and I were single and this was another time and place, I would hope that the Island gods would bless me with Matthew Fox. LOL! I'm sure I just gave you all a good laugh! But hey, my fantasy aside….I find this to be the most tender loving scene in Lost episodes so far. I watch this scene and I am moved…..and friggin jealous! HA!}
Kate sits alone in the jungle looking troubled and lost; she hears something.
It’s out of breath Jack and he's a little upset with her. He wonders what the hell she’d doing out here, “What happened in the hatch, Kate? Why’d you leave? I come back I find Sawyer just lying on the ground, you just took off…”
Kate- “He okay?”
Yep, he’s fine.
She says she's sorry.
Jack-"Are you?" {WTF, Jack? She just said she was!}
Kate gets fired up-“Yeah, I'm sorry. I’m sorry that I'm not as perfect as you! I'm sorry that I'm not as good!"
Jack wonders, “What’s going on with you?”
Kate tells him to forget it and walks away.
Jack grabs her arm and pulls her close, “No. No. No. Don’t walk away from me.”
Kate struggles to be free and starts to break down. Jack hugs her tight seeing she needs it badly. “It’s OK. It’s OK.”
Kate-"This place, this place is crazy. I can’t… It's driving me nuts." {She’s crying}
Jack looks into her eyes and tells her it's OK.
Kate, with her innocent child like face, kisses Jack! Then almost like a light bulb goes off, she pulls away and runs away; seeming as if she’s done something wrong.
Jack is left Kate-less. Lol {I have no right to call myself an actor after watching this cast! They are all an inspiration to me.}
At the hatch Eko and Michael are watching the orientation film while Locke watches them watch the movie.
“From the moment the alarm sounds you will have 4 minutes to enter the code into the microcomputer {Edit} induction into the program. When the alarm sounds, either you or your partner must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. In this manner you will stay as fresh and alert {Edit} utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in a timely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer {Edit} for anything {Edit}. Congratulations. Until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your hands. On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso and all of us at the DHARMA Initiative, thank you. Namaste. And good luck.”
Michael holds his head and is looking a bit baffled. He asks Locke, “Alright. So, you’ve been pushing that button every two hours since you got down here?”
Locke confirms.
Michael-“How does that even work?” Eko listens carefully.
Locke- “I set up two person shifts, six hours. Everyone’s on their roster.”
Michael- "Don't they want to know why?"
Locke- "I think the film's pretty self explanatory."
Michael- “Really?! All I heard was something about electromagnets and an incident. What about all the missing pieces?"
Locke- “Oh you mean the splices. Yeah, just a frame here and there I think, nothing important. What do you think? About the film, what do you think?” {He asks staring Eko.}
Silent Eko with his stick just stands up and dramatically walks away without saying a word.
Kate is sitting at Shannon’s grave; she is very stressed out emotional. Sayid comes over and hangs a bead necklace on the grave marker. {Shannon and Boone’s markers both have necklaces. 3 grave markers.}
Kate apologizes to him for missing the funeral as she had to be with Sawyer. Sayid wonders why she isn’t with him now.
Kate with tears in her eyes says, “Because I’m going crazy.”
Indifferent Sayid looks at her like-”Really?!”
Kate - “Do you believe in ghosts, Sayid?"
Sayid looking a bit distant states, “I saw Walt in the jungle just before Shannon was shot. Does that make me crazy?"
And just like that with his information delivered he gets up and walks away without saying a word.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is cuffed in the marshal’s car. He tells her it’s a long drive back to the arraignment and wonders if she’s comfy. {It's nighttime and pouring rain.} Kate doesn’t reply but Edward seems amused by his catching Kate. He asks her "why now".
Kate-“What?”
Edward-“Nice, corn fed farm girl like yourself… no history of violence, straight A's, no record, couple of speeding tickets. I just got to wonder, why'd you kill him now? {No response} Oh, right, yeah, don't tell me. You wouldn't want to incriminate yourself. Not after you were so smart planning it. That jury back in Iowa sure ain't going to get hung up on pre-meditation. And a gas leak. Come on, it's… its amateur hour from top to bottom.”
Kate-“Sounds like you've got it all figured out.“
Edward-“ I do have you all figured out. {He has a band aid across the bridge of his nose.}
Kate-“You don't know anything about me."
Edward-“White trash mom divorces dad, starts up with some guy who's a drinker. Then he knocks her around a little bit, and so she marries him, because, you know, that's what happens. And then this drunk, this Wayne, he moves into your house, and you get to lay there every night and listen to him doing your mom right there in your daddy's old bedroom. And even that wouldn't be so bad if he didn't beat her up all the time. But she… loves him. She defends him. If that don't make a person want to kill somebody I don't know what does. But the question is… now, why now? Why after all these years did you just decide to blow poor Wayne up? He come knocking on your door late at night?”
Kate looks in him the eye and tells him, “He never touched me.”
Edward is looking at Kate and then directly looks to the lighter to light his cigarette never looking at the road and a horse crosses their path and the car crashes. Edward is knocked out, of course.
Kate takes the keys {looks just like when the plane was going down on crash day. } but the marshal wakes up and they fight until she literally kicks him out of the car. {Good thing that door opened}
Cuffed Kate watches a black horse head into the tall grass and then stunned Kate drives off.
In the computer room Michael asks Locke “But, why can’t you just put the numbers in now”
Locke-“No. It doesn’t work that way. The alarm goes off at 4 minute {timer shows 24-23} You can’t type anything till then.”
He demonstrates that even when typing 5 characters, it doesn’t change anything.
Michael wants to know if Locke minds if he checks out some of the hardware. {Is he a computer expert too?!}
Locke- "Sure…Just don't break it."
Locke leaves Michael alone and walks into the kitchen area where sits Eko is sitting at the table waiting.
Locke-“Hello again.”
Eko politely says hello, “I have something I think you should see.”
Locke sits opposite Eko. If Locke doesn’t mind Eko will begin at the beginning. Locke is cool with that.
Eko- "Long before Christ the king of Judah was a man named Josiah.”
Locke- “Boy when you say beginning, you mean… beginning.”
Eko- “At that time the temple where the people worshiped was in ruin. And so the people worshiped idols, false gods. And so the kingdom was in disarray. Josiah, since he was a good king, sent his secretary to the treasury and said, 'We must rebuild the temple. Give all of the gold to the workers so that this will be done.' But when the secretary returned, he had no gold. And when Josiah asked why this was, the secretary replied… ‘We found a book.’ Do you know this story?”
Locke- “No, I'm afraid I don't.”
Eko-“What the secretary had found was an ancient book. The Book of Law. You may know it as the Old Testament. And it was with that ancient book, not with the gold, that Josiah rebuilt the temple. On the other side of the island we found a place much like this, and in this place we found a book. {He unwraps the book and presents it to Locke.} I believe what's inside there will be of great value to you.”
Locke opens the book and it is revealed a square has been cut out deep into the pages and hiding the missing pieces of the film. Locke is stunned as he looks at the film and Eko is pleased.
Hurley comes across Jack chopping wood.
Hurley –“Hey….So…Rose’s husband’s white. Didn’t see that one coming.”
Hurley doesn’t need anything he’s just out taking a walk and thought he’s say hey. Hurley wonders who’s taking care of Sawyer and Jack informs him Sun is.
Hurley-"So, you're like, mad at him?"
Jack laughs- "Why would I be mad at Sawyer?"
Hurley- "Maybe because he's usually the one who comes down here chops wood, and now you are, it's like transference."
Jack asks Hurley if he’s a shrink now. Hurley shares that’s what they call it in the mental hospital.
Sun is watching over Sawyer and is crushing up pills between two spoons. Kate shows up asking where Jack is. Sun doesn’t know, “He didn’t come back.”
Kate wonders if Sawyer said anything, Sun says no because he’s still sleeping, “Can you watch him?” Sun heads out.
{Flash Whoosh}
Army Recruiting office to see her "father", SGT Sam Austen, who is a Military recruiter. {Recruiter! Also note sign “Build Your Future".} Sam Austen tells her the authorities are looking for her, she tells him she's been waiting outside for two hours and they’re not there.
Kate reveals she was making a scrapbook, a surprise for his birthday, so
she called his C.O. for pictures of him in uniform. The pictures he sent her had dates on the back revealing he was in Korea until four months before she was born. She wants to know why he never told her that Wayne was her father. Sam says he didn't because he knew she'd kill him, and her mother loved him.
He cries, “You were five years old I wanted to take you along with me, she wouldn't let me"
Kate- "Why didn't you kill him?"
Sam- "Because I don't have murder in my heart."
{Note Sayid in handcuffs on the TV in the background}
This statement hits Kate and she gets up to leave. Realizing Sam will have to call “them” she asks for 1 hour head start for her run.
They hug and cry goodbye. {Was Wayne privy to Kate's role? Yeah.}
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate sits next to sleeping Sawyer, “Can you hear me?...Sawyer.”
Kate moves in closer, “Wayne.”
Sawyer stirs a bit and Kate continues, “I’m probably crazy…and this doesn’t matter. Maybe you’re in there. Somehow…but you asked me a question. You asked me why I…why I did it…I wasn’t cause you drove my father away…or the way you looked at me. Or because you beat her. It was cause I hated that you were a part of me. That I would never be good, that I would never have anything good…And every time that I look at Sawyer every time that I feel something for him, I see you, Wayne and it makes me sick." With that Sawyer wakes up, "That’s about the sweetest thing I ever heard. Who the hell's Wayne?"
She's very happy he's awake!
Sawyer realizing he’s in a bunk bed asks, "Are we saved?"
Kate whispers-“No, Sawyer. Not yet.”
{Who was Kate talking to here, the marshal or Wayne? And if she hates that Sawyer resembles/is like Wayne, why does she love him so much? Hmm?}
Eko and Locke are in the computer room.
{You need to pay attention to how Eko is looking at focused Locke through this!}
Locke is re-editing the missing pieces back into the film. “What are the odds? {He has Eko hold part of the film down} mean think about it, somebody made this film…somebody cut this piece out. We crash…2 halves of the same plane fall in different parts of the Island, You’re over there, I’m over here. And now here’s the missing piece right where it belongs. What are the odds?”
Eko-“Don’t mistake coincidence for fate.”
{Then what’s the big deal about giving Locke the missing pieces of the film?}
Kate walks Sawyer around the messy Dharma Swan kitchen. He can’t believe his surroundings. Kate informs him “Airlock's over this way.”
Happy Sawyer wants Kate to admit they’ve been rescued.
Kate opens the creaky door that leads them to the jungle. Sawyer realizes they’re still on the Island, “Home sweet home.”
He thought Kate was yankin' his chain. {Sarah says the same line to Jack after her accident.}
Kate is smiling at him, “You need a haircut.”
Something catches Sawyer’s eye behind Kate,”Maybe you outta take me back inside.”
Kate turns to see the horse ”You see that?”
Sawyer sees the big ass horse standing in the jungle. Kate slowly walks over and pets the horse. Then it’s just walks off. {The horse is can be seen by both of them and Kate can touch it. It looks pretty real to me. 3 dimensional or does she only think she can touch it?}
Sawyer-“You know that horse, Freckles?”
Kate-“Yeah, I do.”
{Fucking care to share?! Who or what is it?! Does it represent the marshal?}
Ana Lucia sits alone by the crashing waves carving a spear. Jack walks over with four tiny bottles of Tequila and no tonic, because they’re running a little low on mixers. {Where the hell did he get those?! Not Dharma labels.}
Jack figured she could use a drink, “I know I could.”
Ana asks if he’s going to try to convince her that everyone there doesn’t hate her.
Jack-“Only if you’re gonna try to convince me that every woman in the world’s not crazy.”
{No, Jack. Only the chicks on the “Island” are crazy.}
Michael is in the computer room checking out the equipment, while the audio of the film playing nearby clearly can be heard by him.
Marvin Candle-“When the alarm sounds, you or your partner must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. In this manner you will stay as fresh and alert {Edit} utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in a timely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer {Edit} for anything else other than the entering of the code. This is its only function. The isolation that attends the duties associated with Station 3 may tempt you to try and utilize the computer for communication with the outside world. This is strictly forbidden. Attempting to use the computer in this manner will compromise the integrity of the project and, worse, could lead to another incident. I repeat, do not use the computer for anything other than entering the code. Congratulations. Until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your hands.”
Before Locke stops the film he looks a bit confused.
At 51 minutes the alarm "dings" on the timer. {One ding at a time.} Michael, who is investigating the wires, looks up at the timer. {Did Locke and Eko not hear anything?}
Michael sees a message on the computer screen-“HELLO?”
Michael’s game, so he replies- HELLO?” {Michael is wearing a lovely plaid shirt}
The computer-“Who is this?”
Michael-“THIS IS MICHAEL. WHO IS THIS?”
After a couple of seconds…
The Computer-“DAD?”
Michael looks confused at the blurry word "dad".
What Kate Did is a great episode! It's like the Castaways' are in therapy!
Things to Note...Questions to ask...
* Eyes.
* I.D. No I.D. No Record. No History. Is it that they have no identity here on the “Island” or is it a metaphor for not knowing their “true self??”
* Remember. Forget.
* Crazy. Driving me nuts. Mental Hospital.
* Hallucination. Illusion. Image.
* Computer. Type. Numbers. Microcomputer processor. Wires. Code.
* Kate and Sawyer both see the horse as Shannon and Sayid both saw Walt.
* Kate leans over Sawyer and the marshal {Tabula Rasa} and they choke her.
* Kate's step dad and Jack's dad are drinkers.
* Sayid and Sawyer profess their love for Shannon and Kate.
* Is Sam Austen another Dharma recruiter, recruiting people to help rebuild something on the island; a temple maybe. Or just to keep the project going?
* Why does Kate pull away from Jack after the kiss? Does she realize that shouldn't have happened? Is it because she has feelings for Sawyer? Is she remembering a past island visit that she shared with Jack perhaps? Is it something from her childhood? Is it because they're more like Luke and Leia? It would just be wrong!
While I'm having a Star Wars moment, let’s remember the Jedi purge! lol
* Jack and his need to include "the Others" into their camp. He must be the one who invited Ana there and we also know he invites Juliet, , but why? Is he the INN keeper?
* When Jack finally caught up to "Christian" in the jungle in White Rabbit.
* How is the computer letting Michael type things besides the code? Didn't Michael just hear the instructions on the new piece of the film? Why is he breaking the rules? Are we correctly assuming that Michael is in the computer room simultaneously while Locke and Eko are re-watching the new footage? Is it even really Walt trying to communicate with him? Why doesn't Walt just show himself to Michael? Why use a 20 year old computer to talk to your "father" when you can just friggin show yourself? I call fucking shenanigans!
Jack contacts what we're to believe is the “outside world” in the season 3 finale. Does the shit hit the fan? Does that lead to another incident?
* Locke mentions 2 halves. Two halves being brought together to make one. Is this about biology, genetics, DNA or creation of a Lostie. Or is this about two halves (sides) of a person?
* The missing film piece is telling them certain rules.
* Is there a book that not only has rules in it but also guidelines, directions and maybe even cheats.
* Is this story of Josiah any correlation to what's going on with the Island? People following the wrong guy.
* Roster= list of names
* Movie. Film. Frame. Edits.
* Value. Odds.
* Laws=Rules
* Black. White. 2 sides.
* Locke and Michael’s perception of what info they are getting out of the orientation film is different.
* Michael is tempted by the computer.
* Kate…a mastermind. Also it sounds like she is "made" to never have anything good, etc..
* Hurley.
Vocabulary and Research...
* Ticket comes up a lot our story, I type it in bold every time. I was looking at 'ticket' in the obvious sense, until this episode. Then I had a revelation! The other meaning for ticket is 'list of candidates'. In this episode we are given clues to lists with roster and ticket. Recruits are list of candidates.
* Transference- is a phenomenon in psychoanalysis characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another.
* Zen proverb- "Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water."
* Horse- slang term for heroin.
Are things that some of them see just "trigger points" for them to remember things or to set into motion certain events to happen? Are the trigger points objects/props only shown to certain people? Let’s look at what could be "trigger points"… like the black horse, the drug plane, Virgin Mary statues, heroin, Christian, Dave, songs, etc.. Damn more things to think about!
Some of these people just want to be free but they need to save themselves first.
Do not mistake coincidence for fate… Ah, but here everything happens for a reason!
Love to all who are “LOST”™
Posted on MySpace August 8, 2007
Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
{Click the pics!}
Jin and Sun emerge from their tent from an obvious happy reunion.
Hurley gives them his approval; thumbs up. Sun looks over to see Sayid is digging a grave for Shannon.
“Sorry, man I know this hurts” Jack says to semi-unconscious Sawyer. As Jack tends to his shoulder he speaks as if Sawyer can hear him. “Michael told me you pulled the bullet out with you bare hands. Have to show me how to do that sometime.”
Weak Sawyer whisper mumbles something. Jack didn’t hear it so sawyer repeats, "Where is she?"
Jack assumes he means Kate and informs him that Kate's been watching over him 24 hours straight. The only way he could get rid of her was to send her out to get Sawyer some food. Sawyer whispers, "I love her". I think Jack knows that's the truth.
In the jungle Kate is up in a tree on a branch picking fruit/Mango. She slides down the branch, dropping 3 Mango and when she picks them up, behind her she sees a beautiful black horse. {Damn that chick is strong!} When she gets up the horse gallops away.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is sitting on the steps of the house playing with a lighter. It is nighttime. She is wearing a Janis Joplin t-shirt. {A song plays something about Alabama-I think} A pickup truck pulls up and drunk Wayne gets out asking “Hey, girl. What are you doing here?” {He’s wearing a damn plaid shirt!}
When they enter the house apparently he smells something.
Kate-“Probably your breath.”
She puts him to bed. As Kate is removing his shoes he goes on about how beautiful she is. Creepy, indeed.
Kate exits the house, gets on her bitchin' motorcycle and the house explodes behind her. {What a rebel!}
Kate enters a small diner and the waitress offers her “coffee, pie, both?” Kate orders a beer. The waitress is Kate’s mother, Diane. Katherine is 24 years old.
Diane would like to see some I.D. Diane realizes Kate drives around on that deathtrap but she is not going to help her "cause" by getting her drunk. {Kate has a "cause"? WOW!} Kate asks her about her left wrist. Diane blames the injury on a shelf she forgot was there and she banged her wrist.
Kate tells her, “Don’t” {we are to believe her husband is abusive.}
Diane-“I made my bed, Katherine.”
Kate informs mom that her bed is gone. Kate presents her mom with an insurance policy she took out on the house for her; in her name. At first Diane seems pleased but then realizes there’s something wrong.
Diane- "What did you do? Does Wayne know about this?"
Kate- “Just remember that you were here and you didn't see me, OK."
Diane demands to know, "What did you do?"
Kate- "I took care of you, ma. I gotta go. You're not going to see me for a while."
Diane is stunned. Kate hugs and kisses her goodbye. {The song 'The End of the World' is playing in the background}
Diane continues to ask, “What did you do?”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate returns to the hatch to find Jack putting cool compresses on Sawyer’s head. He asks Kate if she’s okay. Kate thinks she’s just getting tired. Sawyer still has a fever and Jack can’t tell if the antibiotics are working but it will help to get some food in him. Jack suggests she get down to the beach for Shannon, but Kate would rather stay and watch Sawyer. She feels Jack should be there {for Shannon}. Jack says OK and instructs her to keep Sawyer hydrated, mash up some fruit and see if she can get him to eat it, everybody will be at the beach so don't forget the button. Kate’s got it. Jack will be back in a couple of hours, “You’re sure you’re okay.”
Kate smiles and says she’s great.
At the beach Eko and his stick walk over to Ana Lucia who is banging a stick into the ground. Ana is living at their camp. {WTF? Who invited her? I thought she was going to live alone in the jungle! She sent Michael for supplies and socks! Bitch!}
Eko tells Ana that he's going to the funeral.
Ana-“I don’t think I’m gonna make it.” {Doh! Is that a Freudian slip?!}
Eko wants her to know he thinks most of them realize it was an accident. Ana continues her solo work with her stick.
Everyone gathers for Shannon.
Sad Sayid {wearing a collar polo shirt} speaks at the funeral. “Shannon and I were strangers. We never would have met if…we wouldn’t even have spoken if… But we did meet and we did speak… At least…I loved her.” He cries and walks away.
Jack takes a handful of dirt and pours it onto Shannon's body, "May she rest in peace".
They all follow Jacks lead/action. {Locke is next}
Kate put on a Patsy Cline {Walking after midnight} album on the record player; it makes her smile. Kate talks to unconscious Sawyer about mashing him up some fruit.
Kate-“When you wake up you're gonna get a kick out of me feeding you like a baby. I saw a horse. Yeah, that’s what happens when you don’t sleep.”
Sawyer starts to stir and whisper mumbles something.
Kate leans over him asking if he’s awake and Sawyer wakes up, chokes her and says "You killed me. Why did you kill me?!"
{Let’s remember that for another time.}
Jack and Locke get back to the hatch to Kate’s record having ended {needle just dragging} and the alarm beeping but Kate isn't there.
Locke enters the computer room with 22 seconds to go and enters in the wrong number and has to re-enter them {putting 22 for 23}.
Sawyer is on the floor; Jack checks his pulse.
Jack lifts Sawyer back into the lower bunk.
Locke wonders, “Where’s Kate?”
Kate walks through the jungle as Charlie happens by. He notes she missed the funeral, "A few of them came, the new people. Not her, the one who killed Shannon that would have been a bit awkward. Seemed to have had a rough time of it. Looks like they went bloody Lord of the Flies out there." {Watch Kate here}
Kate hasn’t listened to a word Charlie said because she looks zoned and appears as if she’s seeing something for a second.
Kate- “Do you think there are horses here?”
She shares she thinks she saw a horse in the jungle.
Unimpressed Charlie- “Seen polar bears. Seen Monsters, well, heard monsters, but…horses…no.”
Kate just heads off.
Charlie- “Kate! Where are you going?!”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is at the bus station, at the window buying a one way ticket to Tallahassee. The marshal/Edward is behind unsuspecting Kate on line and just chats from behind, "Tallahassee. I spent a week in Tallahassee one night" {1 Week= 1 night. WTF?! Time traveling?! lol} it’s all strip malls and waffle houses. What's a pretty girl like you going to do down in Tallahassee?”
Kate, never turning around answers, “I’m sure I’ll find something.”
The marshal/Edward- “Bet you've got family down there."
Kate turns to him, “Actually I’m just visiting.”
Edward- "Hey. Hey. Don't I know you? {Kate looks around and gets nervous and starts to leave. He grabs her arm} Don't run Kate.”
Kate hits him and tries to run. The marshal grabs and cuffs her, “Kate Austen, you’re under arrest for murder.“
Kate- “I didn’t do anything.”
Edward- “Oh yeah you did. Your mama gave you up, Kate." {She looks confused.} He walks her out.
{Flash Whoosh}
Charlie is playing guitar by the campfire. Jack comes over and asks him if he's seen Kate.
Charlie-“Ahhh… a little while ago in the jungle, she was acting kinda balmy asking me about horses on the Island.“
Jack asks where she is now.
Charlie-"She's on the path heading back to the caves." {Path to caves hmmm…}
Locke frees Jin of his one handcuff.
Jin says "Thank you" in English of course.
Locke smiles, "Free at last, huh.”
{Timer- 79}
Happy Jin shows Michael the removed cuff.
Michael smiles-"Yeah man, looks good."
Jin smiles (because he understands) and walks on. Michael is feeling around the door frame and asks Locke, “What’s up with the blast doors?”
Locke seems surprised "Blast doors?"
Michael-“Yeah. Like in case of an explosion, they come from the ceiling. That guy down here, uh…Desmond. He didn’t tell you about these, what they’re for?”
Locke checks them out. “No. No he didn't. But he did leave a movie. {Movie?} Yeah. Wanna see it?"
Out of nowhere Eko says he would like to see it too; if they don’t mind. Locke feels the more the merrier!
{Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE MATTHEW FOX! Yes, if he and I were single and this was another time and place, I would hope that the Island gods would bless me with Matthew Fox. LOL! I'm sure I just gave you all a good laugh! But hey, my fantasy aside….I find this to be the most tender loving scene in Lost episodes so far. I watch this scene and I am moved…..and friggin jealous! HA!}
Kate sits alone in the jungle looking troubled and lost; she hears something.
It’s out of breath Jack and he's a little upset with her. He wonders what the hell she’d doing out here, “What happened in the hatch, Kate? Why’d you leave? I come back I find Sawyer just lying on the ground, you just took off…”
Kate- “He okay?”
Yep, he’s fine.
She says she's sorry.
Jack-"Are you?" {WTF, Jack? She just said she was!}
Kate gets fired up-“Yeah, I'm sorry. I’m sorry that I'm not as perfect as you! I'm sorry that I'm not as good!"
Jack wonders, “What’s going on with you?”
Kate tells him to forget it and walks away.
Jack grabs her arm and pulls her close, “No. No. No. Don’t walk away from me.”
Kate struggles to be free and starts to break down. Jack hugs her tight seeing she needs it badly. “It’s OK. It’s OK.”
Kate-"This place, this place is crazy. I can’t… It's driving me nuts." {She’s crying}
Jack looks into her eyes and tells her it's OK.
Kate, with her innocent child like face, kisses Jack! Then almost like a light bulb goes off, she pulls away and runs away; seeming as if she’s done something wrong.
Jack is left Kate-less. Lol {I have no right to call myself an actor after watching this cast! They are all an inspiration to me.}
At the hatch Eko and Michael are watching the orientation film while Locke watches them watch the movie.
“From the moment the alarm sounds you will have 4 minutes to enter the code into the microcomputer {Edit} induction into the program. When the alarm sounds, either you or your partner must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. In this manner you will stay as fresh and alert {Edit} utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in a timely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer {Edit} for anything {Edit}. Congratulations. Until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your hands. On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso and all of us at the DHARMA Initiative, thank you. Namaste. And good luck.”
Michael holds his head and is looking a bit baffled. He asks Locke, “Alright. So, you’ve been pushing that button every two hours since you got down here?”
Locke confirms.
Michael-“How does that even work?” Eko listens carefully.
Locke- “I set up two person shifts, six hours. Everyone’s on their roster.”
Michael- "Don't they want to know why?"
Locke- "I think the film's pretty self explanatory."
Michael- “Really?! All I heard was something about electromagnets and an incident. What about all the missing pieces?"
Locke- “Oh you mean the splices. Yeah, just a frame here and there I think, nothing important. What do you think? About the film, what do you think?” {He asks staring Eko.}
Silent Eko with his stick just stands up and dramatically walks away without saying a word.
Kate is sitting at Shannon’s grave; she is very stressed out emotional. Sayid comes over and hangs a bead necklace on the grave marker. {Shannon and Boone’s markers both have necklaces. 3 grave markers.}
Kate apologizes to him for missing the funeral as she had to be with Sawyer. Sayid wonders why she isn’t with him now.
Kate with tears in her eyes says, “Because I’m going crazy.”
Indifferent Sayid looks at her like-”Really?!”
Kate - “Do you believe in ghosts, Sayid?"
Sayid looking a bit distant states, “I saw Walt in the jungle just before Shannon was shot. Does that make me crazy?"
And just like that with his information delivered he gets up and walks away without saying a word.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is cuffed in the marshal’s car. He tells her it’s a long drive back to the arraignment and wonders if she’s comfy. {It's nighttime and pouring rain.} Kate doesn’t reply but Edward seems amused by his catching Kate. He asks her "why now".
Kate-“What?”
Edward-“Nice, corn fed farm girl like yourself… no history of violence, straight A's, no record, couple of speeding tickets. I just got to wonder, why'd you kill him now? {No response} Oh, right, yeah, don't tell me. You wouldn't want to incriminate yourself. Not after you were so smart planning it. That jury back in Iowa sure ain't going to get hung up on pre-meditation. And a gas leak. Come on, it's… its amateur hour from top to bottom.”
Kate-“Sounds like you've got it all figured out.“
Edward-“ I do have you all figured out. {He has a band aid across the bridge of his nose.}
Kate-“You don't know anything about me."
Edward-“White trash mom divorces dad, starts up with some guy who's a drinker. Then he knocks her around a little bit, and so she marries him, because, you know, that's what happens. And then this drunk, this Wayne, he moves into your house, and you get to lay there every night and listen to him doing your mom right there in your daddy's old bedroom. And even that wouldn't be so bad if he didn't beat her up all the time. But she… loves him. She defends him. If that don't make a person want to kill somebody I don't know what does. But the question is… now, why now? Why after all these years did you just decide to blow poor Wayne up? He come knocking on your door late at night?”
Kate looks in him the eye and tells him, “He never touched me.”
Edward is looking at Kate and then directly looks to the lighter to light his cigarette never looking at the road and a horse crosses their path and the car crashes. Edward is knocked out, of course.
Kate takes the keys {looks just like when the plane was going down on crash day. } but the marshal wakes up and they fight until she literally kicks him out of the car. {Good thing that door opened}
Cuffed Kate watches a black horse head into the tall grass and then stunned Kate drives off.
In the computer room Michael asks Locke “But, why can’t you just put the numbers in now”
Locke-“No. It doesn’t work that way. The alarm goes off at 4 minute {timer shows 24-23} You can’t type anything till then.”
He demonstrates that even when typing 5 characters, it doesn’t change anything.
Michael wants to know if Locke minds if he checks out some of the hardware. {Is he a computer expert too?!}
Locke- "Sure…Just don't break it."
Locke leaves Michael alone and walks into the kitchen area where sits Eko is sitting at the table waiting.
Locke-“Hello again.”
Eko politely says hello, “I have something I think you should see.”
Locke sits opposite Eko. If Locke doesn’t mind Eko will begin at the beginning. Locke is cool with that.
Eko- "Long before Christ the king of Judah was a man named Josiah.”
Locke- “Boy when you say beginning, you mean… beginning.”
Eko- “At that time the temple where the people worshiped was in ruin. And so the people worshiped idols, false gods. And so the kingdom was in disarray. Josiah, since he was a good king, sent his secretary to the treasury and said, 'We must rebuild the temple. Give all of the gold to the workers so that this will be done.' But when the secretary returned, he had no gold. And when Josiah asked why this was, the secretary replied… ‘We found a book.’ Do you know this story?”
Locke- “No, I'm afraid I don't.”
Eko-“What the secretary had found was an ancient book. The Book of Law. You may know it as the Old Testament. And it was with that ancient book, not with the gold, that Josiah rebuilt the temple. On the other side of the island we found a place much like this, and in this place we found a book. {He unwraps the book and presents it to Locke.} I believe what's inside there will be of great value to you.”
Locke opens the book and it is revealed a square has been cut out deep into the pages and hiding the missing pieces of the film. Locke is stunned as he looks at the film and Eko is pleased.
Hurley comes across Jack chopping wood.
Hurley –“Hey….So…Rose’s husband’s white. Didn’t see that one coming.”
Hurley doesn’t need anything he’s just out taking a walk and thought he’s say hey. Hurley wonders who’s taking care of Sawyer and Jack informs him Sun is.
Hurley-"So, you're like, mad at him?"
Jack laughs- "Why would I be mad at Sawyer?"
Hurley- "Maybe because he's usually the one who comes down here chops wood, and now you are, it's like transference."
Jack asks Hurley if he’s a shrink now. Hurley shares that’s what they call it in the mental hospital.
Sun is watching over Sawyer and is crushing up pills between two spoons. Kate shows up asking where Jack is. Sun doesn’t know, “He didn’t come back.”
Kate wonders if Sawyer said anything, Sun says no because he’s still sleeping, “Can you watch him?” Sun heads out.
{Flash Whoosh}
Army Recruiting office to see her "father", SGT Sam Austen, who is a Military recruiter. {Recruiter! Also note sign “Build Your Future".} Sam Austen tells her the authorities are looking for her, she tells him she's been waiting outside for two hours and they’re not there.
Kate reveals she was making a scrapbook, a surprise for his birthday, so
she called his C.O. for pictures of him in uniform. The pictures he sent her had dates on the back revealing he was in Korea until four months before she was born. She wants to know why he never told her that Wayne was her father. Sam says he didn't because he knew she'd kill him, and her mother loved him.
He cries, “You were five years old I wanted to take you along with me, she wouldn't let me"
Kate- "Why didn't you kill him?"
Sam- "Because I don't have murder in my heart."
{Note Sayid in handcuffs on the TV in the background}
This statement hits Kate and she gets up to leave. Realizing Sam will have to call “them” she asks for 1 hour head start for her run.
They hug and cry goodbye. {Was Wayne privy to Kate's role? Yeah.}
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate sits next to sleeping Sawyer, “Can you hear me?...Sawyer.”
Kate moves in closer, “Wayne.”
Sawyer stirs a bit and Kate continues, “I’m probably crazy…and this doesn’t matter. Maybe you’re in there. Somehow…but you asked me a question. You asked me why I…why I did it…I wasn’t cause you drove my father away…or the way you looked at me. Or because you beat her. It was cause I hated that you were a part of me. That I would never be good, that I would never have anything good…And every time that I look at Sawyer every time that I feel something for him, I see you, Wayne and it makes me sick." With that Sawyer wakes up, "That’s about the sweetest thing I ever heard. Who the hell's Wayne?"
She's very happy he's awake!
Sawyer realizing he’s in a bunk bed asks, "Are we saved?"
Kate whispers-“No, Sawyer. Not yet.”
{Who was Kate talking to here, the marshal or Wayne? And if she hates that Sawyer resembles/is like Wayne, why does she love him so much? Hmm?}
Eko and Locke are in the computer room.
{You need to pay attention to how Eko is looking at focused Locke through this!}
Locke is re-editing the missing pieces back into the film. “What are the odds? {He has Eko hold part of the film down} mean think about it, somebody made this film…somebody cut this piece out. We crash…2 halves of the same plane fall in different parts of the Island, You’re over there, I’m over here. And now here’s the missing piece right where it belongs. What are the odds?”
Eko-“Don’t mistake coincidence for fate.”
{Then what’s the big deal about giving Locke the missing pieces of the film?}
Kate walks Sawyer around the messy Dharma Swan kitchen. He can’t believe his surroundings. Kate informs him “Airlock's over this way.”
Happy Sawyer wants Kate to admit they’ve been rescued.
Kate opens the creaky door that leads them to the jungle. Sawyer realizes they’re still on the Island, “Home sweet home.”
He thought Kate was yankin' his chain. {Sarah says the same line to Jack after her accident.}
Kate is smiling at him, “You need a haircut.”
Something catches Sawyer’s eye behind Kate,”Maybe you outta take me back inside.”
Kate turns to see the horse ”You see that?”
Sawyer sees the big ass horse standing in the jungle. Kate slowly walks over and pets the horse. Then it’s just walks off. {The horse is can be seen by both of them and Kate can touch it. It looks pretty real to me. 3 dimensional or does she only think she can touch it?}
Sawyer-“You know that horse, Freckles?”
Kate-“Yeah, I do.”
{Fucking care to share?! Who or what is it?! Does it represent the marshal?}
Ana Lucia sits alone by the crashing waves carving a spear. Jack walks over with four tiny bottles of Tequila and no tonic, because they’re running a little low on mixers. {Where the hell did he get those?! Not Dharma labels.}
Jack figured she could use a drink, “I know I could.”
Ana asks if he’s going to try to convince her that everyone there doesn’t hate her.
Jack-“Only if you’re gonna try to convince me that every woman in the world’s not crazy.”
{No, Jack. Only the chicks on the “Island” are crazy.}
Michael is in the computer room checking out the equipment, while the audio of the film playing nearby clearly can be heard by him.
Marvin Candle-“When the alarm sounds, you or your partner must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take alternating shifts. In this manner you will stay as fresh and alert {Edit} utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in a timely fashion. Do not attempt to use the computer {Edit} for anything else other than the entering of the code. This is its only function. The isolation that attends the duties associated with Station 3 may tempt you to try and utilize the computer for communication with the outside world. This is strictly forbidden. Attempting to use the computer in this manner will compromise the integrity of the project and, worse, could lead to another incident. I repeat, do not use the computer for anything other than entering the code. Congratulations. Until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your hands.”
Before Locke stops the film he looks a bit confused.
At 51 minutes the alarm "dings" on the timer. {One ding at a time.} Michael, who is investigating the wires, looks up at the timer. {Did Locke and Eko not hear anything?}
Michael sees a message on the computer screen-“HELLO?”
Michael’s game, so he replies- HELLO?” {Michael is wearing a lovely plaid shirt}
The computer-“Who is this?”
Michael-“THIS IS MICHAEL. WHO IS THIS?”
After a couple of seconds…
The Computer-“DAD?”
Michael looks confused at the blurry word "dad".
What Kate Did is a great episode! It's like the Castaways' are in therapy!
Things to Note...Questions to ask...
* Eyes.
* I.D. No I.D. No Record. No History. Is it that they have no identity here on the “Island” or is it a metaphor for not knowing their “true self??”
* Remember. Forget.
* Crazy. Driving me nuts. Mental Hospital.
* Hallucination. Illusion. Image.
* Computer. Type. Numbers. Microcomputer processor. Wires. Code.
* Kate and Sawyer both see the horse as Shannon and Sayid both saw Walt.
* Kate leans over Sawyer and the marshal {Tabula Rasa} and they choke her.
* Kate's step dad and Jack's dad are drinkers.
* Sayid and Sawyer profess their love for Shannon and Kate.
* Is Sam Austen another Dharma recruiter, recruiting people to help rebuild something on the island; a temple maybe. Or just to keep the project going?
* Why does Kate pull away from Jack after the kiss? Does she realize that shouldn't have happened? Is it because she has feelings for Sawyer? Is she remembering a past island visit that she shared with Jack perhaps? Is it something from her childhood? Is it because they're more like Luke and Leia? It would just be wrong!
While I'm having a Star Wars moment, let’s remember the Jedi purge! lol
* Jack and his need to include "the Others" into their camp. He must be the one who invited Ana there and we also know he invites Juliet, , but why? Is he the INN keeper?
* When Jack finally caught up to "Christian" in the jungle in White Rabbit.
* How is the computer letting Michael type things besides the code? Didn't Michael just hear the instructions on the new piece of the film? Why is he breaking the rules? Are we correctly assuming that Michael is in the computer room simultaneously while Locke and Eko are re-watching the new footage? Is it even really Walt trying to communicate with him? Why doesn't Walt just show himself to Michael? Why use a 20 year old computer to talk to your "father" when you can just friggin show yourself? I call fucking shenanigans!
Jack contacts what we're to believe is the “outside world” in the season 3 finale. Does the shit hit the fan? Does that lead to another incident?
* Locke mentions 2 halves. Two halves being brought together to make one. Is this about biology, genetics, DNA or creation of a Lostie. Or is this about two halves (sides) of a person?
* The missing film piece is telling them certain rules.
* Is there a book that not only has rules in it but also guidelines, directions and maybe even cheats.
* Is this story of Josiah any correlation to what's going on with the Island? People following the wrong guy.
* Roster= list of names
* Movie. Film. Frame. Edits.
* Value. Odds.
* Laws=Rules
* Black. White. 2 sides.
* Locke and Michael’s perception of what info they are getting out of the orientation film is different.
* Michael is tempted by the computer.
* Kate…a mastermind. Also it sounds like she is "made" to never have anything good, etc..
* Hurley.
Vocabulary and Research...
* Ticket comes up a lot our story, I type it in bold every time. I was looking at 'ticket' in the obvious sense, until this episode. Then I had a revelation! The other meaning for ticket is 'list of candidates'. In this episode we are given clues to lists with roster and ticket. Recruits are list of candidates.
* Transference- is a phenomenon in psychoanalysis characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another.
* Zen proverb- "Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water."
* Horse- slang term for heroin.
Are things that some of them see just "trigger points" for them to remember things or to set into motion certain events to happen? Are the trigger points objects/props only shown to certain people? Let’s look at what could be "trigger points"… like the black horse, the drug plane, Virgin Mary statues, heroin, Christian, Dave, songs, etc.. Damn more things to think about!
Some of these people just want to be free but they need to save themselves first.
Do not mistake coincidence for fate… Ah, but here everything happens for a reason!
Love to all who are “LOST”™
Posted on MySpace August 8, 2007
Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
Born to Run
Let's talk about LOST! Born to Run.
{NO: PREVIOUSLY ON LOST}
A shot of a corn field area.
{Click the pics!}
A convertible car, driven by a blond/light woman, pulls into a motel parking lot. {Backpack in back seat.}
The woman reveals her stash of different state license plates that are hidden under the false floor of the trunk. She changes the Nebraska plate to an Ohio plate on her car.
As a family checks out of their no smoking room, 121, leaving the door open of course, the blond commandeers the room; but not before stealing towels and shampoo. {Note: The family leaves in a red van and the maid walks by the vacated room to open the door to another room. Also note when Kate enters the room she turns the door hanging sign from one side to the opposite side.} She changes her hair color to brown/dark.
This is “Kate”.
Kate interrupts the motel counter clerk from {looks like he’s playing a video game, I think}.
She’s expecting a letter, “Hold for guest arrival.”
Her alias is Joan Hart. {Heart}
His filing system is in a very interesting shoe box. He gives her the letter.
She sits in the car {Top closed} reads the letter and cries.
{Cash}
We get a shot panning up toward the clouds…
{Flash Whoosh}
…A toy plane.
Kate is flying the toy plane in her hands {even tilts it nose down.}.
Charlie-“Platinum!”
He blurts that out as he walks up to Kate strumming his guitar.
Charlie-“As in platinum record. As in a million units sold. Now, Drive Shaft's albums must have spiked when everybody found out that I died in some catastrophic plane disaster. When I come back, alive, it's going to be insane.”
He is SO happy! Kate asks if he thinks the raft will work.
Charlie-“Yeah, of course it will work. Look at that thing. It's not a raft. They built a sodding boat. And when they get picked up… the helicopters will come… making us ridiculously and eternally famous. What's the matter, don't you want to be famous?”
Kate looks over to see commotion by the raft and asks Charlie what he thinks is going on over there.
Arzt- “Sure, you can absolutely wait a few weeks before you launch. I was just assuming you didn't want to die.”
Michael- “So, when is the next time we can launch?”
Arzt tells him maybe four months.
Sawyer- “C’mon, even a weather man on TV don't know what's going to happen. Why are we listening to Arzt?”
Arzt reveals proudly it's because he’s a doctor and Sawyer’s a hillbilly.
Sawyer corrects him, “You're a damn high school science teacher.”
Jack wants to hear what Arzt has to say.
Arzt educates while Jin pulls on a wire. ”It's been raining every afternoon. That means that we are on the cusp on monsoon season. Monsoon season is bad. Now, the trade winds are blowing north right now… shipping lanes are north… so north is exactly where you want to be.”
He continues, “It means that when monsoon season hits the trade winds are going to shift to the south. The raft goes with the wind. Can anyone tell me what is the only piece of land that is south of us?”
The good student Jack {with key around his neck} answers- “Antarctica.”
Arzt-“That's right, Jack. Antarctica.”
Michael- “So, when do we have to leave?”
Arzt tells him, “Yesterday.”
Kate looks concerned.
Kate catches up to Michael and asks, “So obviously you believe him?”
Michael doesn’t know, but isn’t taking any chances. Kate inquires about his preparedness.
Michael-“Kate, no offense, but I've got work to do. Why the sudden interest?”
Kate-“Because I'm going with you.”
Michael tells her the raft’s full, “We need four, we got four.”
This includes Sawyer; they needed the stuff he had so he bought his way on. Kate feels that should only count for the first raft that burned. Michael isn’t going to get into semantics with her…
Kate informs him Sawyer doesn’t even know how to sail but she does. She spent two summers crewing J boats. Michael doesn’t budge and feels a deals a deal. So Kate plays the “Walt” card claiming him going-“It’s dangerous”.
Pissed off Michael decides what’s best for his boy, “And right now what’s best for him is to get the hell off this island. The raft’s full.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate walks down the hallway of a hospital with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There is an announcement for the Hospital chaplain to report the Neuro ICU. This scene is bathed in purple.
Kate tells the nurse behind the glass, “I have a delivery for Diane Jansen.”
Nurse-“Right, she just came up from ICU. She's in room two zero eight. It's around the corner to your right.”
Kate sees an officer sitting, reading a newspaper guarding a room. She uses the flowers to hide her face as she walks by him.
A doctor gets in to his car on parking level 3.
Kate shocks him as she’s been hiding in his back seat.
Tom- “Oh, Katie. What are you doing here?”
Kate shares Diane’s dying of cancer and she owed it to her to go and see her. Tom heard about Diane’s situation. Kate is hiding in the back of his car because she needs his help.
{Flash Whoosh}
Jin is busy working with a wire for the raft’s sail. Sun communicates with one cuff Jin in Korean.
Sun-“Are you going? Please Jin, talk to me.”
Jin says yes and Sun walks away.
Jack asks “How much further?”
Jack and Sayid are walking in the jungle. Sayid tells him they’re almost there. Sayid hadn’t told Jack where they’re going because he feels it's better for Jack to see it for himself but Jack isn’t so sure it is. If Sayid doesn’t tell him why he brought him out there he’s going to turn around.
Locke appears! “He brought you out here because I asked him to. I asked him not to tell you. I wanted you to have an open mind.”
Jack wonders, “Open mind about what?”
Locke motions for Jack to follow him.
Locke shows him…the hatch.
Jack- “My god, what is this thing?”
Locke-“Exactly. I guess it's time we talked about this.”
Michael is dragging a large piece of metal past Sawyer.
Sawyer is drinking water and calls to him. ”Yo, chief. Dumb question here…we're sailing out in the ocean, right?”
Michael-“Do you mind?”
Sawyer wonders why Sulu is packing a suitcase full of salted fish when they should be about to catch fish.
Michael asks him if he knows anything about surviving at sea, I.e., sailing, navigating, steering a raft.
Sawyer-“Do you?”
Michael feels it doesn't matter what he knows, “I built it. Maybe you are the wrong guy to go on the raft.”
Sawyer-“You're going to vote me off, Mickey? And who the hell's going to take my place?”
Kate is burning a passport.
Pissed off Sawyer asks Kate what the hell does she think she’s doing.
Sawyer- "Don't give me the aw-golly eyes. Michael just told me you were jockeying for my spot on the raft.”
Cocky Kate says she was just asking some questions and Michael must have misunderstood her.
Sawyer grabs her by the arm because he is on to her and knows what she’s doing. “Yeah, just like I know why you wanted that Halliburton case so bad, the one that belonged to that U.S. Marshal who was flying with us. You were his prisoner.”
Kate-“Let go of me.”
Sawyer-“The only chance of running is getting on that raft, ain't it? We get picked up by a ship and they come back to rescue the rest of you all…there's going to be a nice big asterisk next to your name. Don't worry puddin', your secrets' safe with me. But just so you know… no way in hell you're getting my spot on that raft.”
Kate- “Hey Sawyer. I want your spot; I'll get your spot.” She swaggers away.
Michael and Jin work on the raft. Michael wants Walt to give him the water.
Walt asks him what he and Sawyer were arguing about. {Watch Michael's body language and listen to his words, carefully.}
Michael-“I told him something he didn't want to hear.”
He tells Walt Sawyer wants on the raft badly because he knows it's going to work.
Walt-“When we get rescued we're going to come back for everybody else, right?”
Michael- “Yeah, sure, of course. The thing is…this island, uh, is, uh… finding it again might be hard.”
Walt-“Can't we fly around and look for it?”
Michael-“Absolutely, but there's no guarantees. That's why you and me...”
Michael feels sick, wobbles, fluffs it off and then doubles over in pain. He tells Walt to get Jack. {Jin, who is near them, doesn’t immediately jump down to help.}
Walt runs through the jungle and comes upon Kate and Sun. He tells the girls he needs help with his dad; his stomach is really bad. Kate will get Jack and Sun will take Walt back to Michael. Sun puts her water bottle down on the ground {in the middle of the friggin jungle} and runs off with Walt.
Kate runs through the jungle calling out for Jack; looking for him.
At the hatch Jack asks Locke how long has he known about this. Locke, who is playing with a stick, reveals three weeks, give or take. {Jack is on the hatch and Locke and Sayid are on the ground outside of the dug up hatch.}
Jack- “Three weeks. You've been out here for three weeks digging this thing up and you never told me about it?” {He kind of knew about a hatch from Boone.}
Locke-“All due respect, Jack, but since when do I report to you?”
Jack-“All due respect, John, but you lied.”
Locke asks Jack how long did he have that case full of guns before he decided the rest of them needed to know, “You used your best discretion. I used mine.”
Jack wonders how they open it.
Sayid is shocked, “What? You want to open it?”
He feels they should bury it, “I brought you here to talk him out of this insanity. Anything could be inside.”
Jack-“Best case scenario there's supplies. Worse case, we use it as a shelter.”
Sayid-“Actually, Jack, I can think of much worse cases than that. You notice anything about this hatch? There's no handle. Could the reason for that be more obvious? Maybe it was never meant to be opened from the outside.”
Locke, Jack and Sayid walk back to camp; hear Kate calling for to Jack. Kate tells Jack it’s Michael; somethings' wrong.
Jack asks Michael, who has great stomach pain, what he had to eat and drink today. Michael had fruit, fish and 2-3 bottles of water. The water comes from the caves just like everybody else’s. Michael insists they have to launch that raft tomorrow. Jack knows that, but he needs Michael to take stay in the shade, take it easy and don’t move around too much. Jack has him lay back. Jack and Locke walk away and Kate tends to Michael telling him to lay down. Walt looks concerned.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is at Tom's house looking at pictures of his family on the refrigerator.
Tom is on the phone-“Hello? Hey, Adam. Hey, listen can you carve out some time for me on the MRI? Yeah, it's a favor for a friend of a friend. Um no, that would work out great, okay. Yeah. Thanks, Adam. {Hangs up and notes Kate looking longingly at the pics and tells her} His name's Conner.”
Conner is 22 months old next week. {Note pic of Tom has red eyes.}
Kate comments on the blond boy's beauty; Tom feels “It’s Rachel, it’s not me.”
Tom reveals she’s over in Cedar Rapids visiting her folks; they get back on Sunday. "I got Diane in for an MRI. Now, they'll bring her downstairs to radiology. The appointments not til 5am, so, we've got about three hours to kill.”
Kate- “Tom.”
Tom-“You're welcome.” {Was she going to say thank you?}
Kate-“You think it's still there?”
Tom- ”What?”
Kate-“You know what.”
Tom-“It's the middle of the night, Katie.”
Kate-“We might not get another chance."
They drive to a big tree with some cattle/steer grazing. Kate counts off six paces and they dig.
{Flash Whoosh}
“What do you think it is? Heat stroke?” asks Locke.
Jack doesn’t think so as Michael would have felt that coming on. It couldn’t be bad fruit or raw fish because Jin’s not sick and they’re on the same diet. Jack feels what was making him sick was metabolized fast; it hit him quick and it hit him hard. He looks through the cooler of empty bottles and comes up with one that proves something was put into the bottle of water.
Jin is working on the raft with a few of the camp residents.
Michael {white towel on his head} tells Jack the cramps are quieting down; as long as he doesn’t move or breathe. They notice Hurley and Locke chatting.
Michael asks-“You and Locke kiss and make up? {Jack shakes his head, no.} Good.”
Michael needs some water so Jack gives him one he knows isn’t tainted.
Michael-“Somebody did this to me?”
Jack doesn’t know; he’s not sure of anything yet. Walt sits nearby them watching and listening.
Michael states,“Sawyer.”
Hurley and Locke chat.
Hurley-“I'm on bamboo duty, but yeah sometimes I help refill the water.”
Locke inquires if Michael and Jin are getting along. Hurley says they fight like a married couple building a raft together. Jack walks over and shares with Locke that Michael thinks Sawyer might have done it.
Hurley interjects, “Oh, because of Kate?”
Jack-“Kate?”
Hurley-“Yeah, I guess she wants on the raft. So Sawyer went off on Michael because, you know he gets to decide who goes. Hey, you don't think Kate did it do you?”
Locke wonders why Kate would poison Michael.
Hurley-“Well, you know… the whole… fugitive thing.”
Jack gives Hurley a “Ya opened your big mouth look”.
Hurley-“He doesn't know. Well how am I supposed to keep straight who knows what around here? I mean Steve didn't even know about the polar bear!”
Locke asks what she did. Jack doesn’t know but suggests Locke ask her.
Locke-“And you didn't think the others should know about this, Jack?”
Jack-“Discretion, John.”
Aaron sleeps in his crib. Charlie plays and bops to the tune he’s playing on guitar, as Claire simultaneously trims his hair. Claire needs him to stop moving or she’ll cut his ear off. Charlie is very happy that he is writing again, “I'm really feeling it as well. So, what's the first thing you're going to do when we get rescued?"
Claire doesn’t know. Charlie tells her she can hang out with him in L.A.. “You and turnip head. You know, until you figure things out.”
She thanks him.
Happy Charlie finds that smashing. “Okay, check this out. This is track two. It's called... Claire forces him to keep his head straight-eyes forward while she cuts} Sorry. It's called ‘Monster Eats the Pilot’.”
Jack is in the caves looking through the Oceanic-medical cart and Kate comes in asking how Michael is doing. Jack says he’s fine. Kate wonders if somebody is going to take his place on the raft, “because Dr. Arzt said if they leave tomorrow…”
Jack cuts her off and outright asks her if she poisoned Michael. Kate is shocked and insulted he’d think that!
Jack-“He's not sick, someone did this.”
Kate-“Do you really think I'm capable of that?”
Jack-“I don't know what you're capable of.”
Kate turns and walks away. {Watch her face.}
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate digs while Tom gets a beer from the car.
Kate-“You brought beer?”
Of course he did as he’s a self respecting Iowa man. Kate chugs some. Tom feels it’s not fair; her coming back here, home. Kate knows.
Kate digs and hit something metal-ish. She retrieves an old rusty New Kids on the Block lunch box. In the box is a red Westhills ball cap, the toy plane, a cassette tape.
Tom- “Oh my god. My plane. I can't believe I let you talk me into putting this in there.
Kate indicates no it wasn’t, “That was your idea.” She picks up the tape, “Kate and Tom, 1989.
They listen to the tape in the car. We hear the voices of sweet younger versions of themselves dreaming of their future.
Tom-”Is it on? I don't think it's on.”
Kate- “It’s on.”
Tom- “Okay, uh, this is Kate Austen and Tom Brennan and this is um, our dedication for our time capsule, here on August 15th, 1989. Hey, give me that back.”
Kate- “Why are you putting this stupid plane in there?”
Tom- “Because it's cool, Katie. I got it when I flew to Dallas by myself.”
Kate- “Ooh, that is cool, just like this time capsule.”
Tom- “It'll be totally cool when we dig it up in like… 20 years.”
Kate- “How do you know we'll be together?”
Tom- “Because we'll be married and you'll be a mom and we'll have nine kids.”
Kate- “I don't think so. As soon as I get my license we should just get in a car and drive. You know, run away.”
Tom-“You always want to run away, Katie.”
Kate- “Yeah…and you know why.”
The tape stops
Tom- “Funny how things turn out, huh?"
Kate-“Yeah.”
Teary eyed Kate kisses Tom; Kate is sorry.
Tom just suggests they get to the hospital. They drive off.
{Flash Whoosh}
Locke is sitting by a campfire mixing up some gunk paste in a coconut shell with his big knife. Walt walks over warily to him. He sees Locke has an injured leg and asks if it hurts. Locke admits it does; he had a little accident. Locke asks Walt if there’s something he want to tell him.
Walt-“I didn't do it.”
Lock-“Didn't do what?”
Walt- “I heard Jack. He thinks somebody got my dad sick. And I didn't do it.”
Locke- “You think because I know you burned the first raft that I'd think you made your dad sick? {He nods.} We're friends, Walt. I didn't tell on you before and I'm not going to tell on you now. {Locke touches Walt’s wrist.} And I know you would never do anything to hurt your dad.
Walt looks down at Locke's hand and quickly pulls his arm away as if he's afraid.
Locke-“What's the matter?"
Walt-“Don't open it.”
Locke-“What'd you say?”
Walt-“Don't open it, Mr. Locke. Don't open that thing.”
Locke- “What? What thing?”
Walt-“Just don't open it!”
Sawyer tosses a bottle of pink Stomach Relief medicine at Michael. He thought he might need it, “Wouldn't want our pilot out of commission before take-off.”
Michael wonders if Sawyer’s feeling guilty and informs him he’s off the raft. Sawyer’s pissed because they had a deal.
Michael-“Yeah, well, the deal ended the minute you decided to poison me.”
Sawyer- “What now?”
Michael waves him off, “I'm done with you.”
Sawyer-“You ain't done with me by a damn sight. You said you needed four!”
Michael- “I've got four! You've been stealing stuff off of dead bodies, keeping it for yourself, using it to buy favors. You're a liar and a criminal, and I'm not letting you near my boy."
Sawyer is shocked and pissed off! “Oh, I'm a criminal, huh? I poisoned you because I'm a criminal."
Jin pushes Sawyer away.
Sawyer tells Jin, “Get your hands off me, boy.”
Then he walks over to Kate and says, “Hey, sweet-cheeks, I had no idea how bad you wanted off this rock. Time to set things straight.”
He grabs Kate by the wrist and pulls her over to Michael. Kate demands he let go of her but he is going to reveal the identity of the real criminal to them. As everyone is chiming in for Sawyer to leave her alone, he opens her backpack and dumps her stuff out and presents the passport Kate was altering.
Sawyer- “You all remember Joanna, don't you? Huh? The woman who drowned? Now what's Kate doing with poor Joanna's ID? Could it be she'd do just about anything to get on that raft? So she could get herself rescued, run off with a new identity before half the reporters in the world descend on this damn island? She might even poison the captain himself.”
Kate yells for him to shut up.
Sawyer-“She don't care about nothin' or nobody but herself.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Tom and a hospital worker wheel Diane down the hallway. Tom dismisses his helper and motions to Kate she can come out now. Tom will wait in his office while she visits with her mom. Diane looks terrible and her eyes are closed.
Kate-“Hi, mom. Can you hear me? Mom?”
Diane slowly opens her eyes. Kate cries and tenderly touches her mother's hand, “It's me, Katie.”
Diane-“Katherine?”
Kate- “It's me, Katherine. I'm so sorry for everything I have put you through."
Diane starts to cry and very weakly calls out for “Help”.
Kate tries to tell her it's okay but Diane is hell bent on summoning help. A hospital worker sees Kate and she runs away; she runs right into a security guard who asks her what’s going on.
Kate shares that she’s her daughter, “She's just confused. I was going to get a doctor.”
The security guard grabs hold of Kate and radios that they have a situation. Kate grabs his walki talki and hits him.
Tom shows up, Kate needs his car keys. She takes off running and Tom runs after her.
They burst through the red door leading them to parking level 3.
Kate drives Tom in his car. {Plate-394-GC2} A police car blocks her escape! Kate tells Tom to get out! But Tom is not letting her do this, if she cooperates they’ll go easy and she can have a real life. Kate sees the cop calling for backup and demands he get out because she’s got to go, but he won’t go. Kate drives through the blockade and the cop fires three shots at the car hitting Tom. Kate takes off and crashes into another car. {Plate 614-GJ5}
Kate-“Tom? Tom! Oh god, Tom. No, no, no, Tom. Please wake up.”'
She sees that other cop cars are coming, notes the items on the backseat and takes off running.
"You wanna tell us why you need to run so bad." wonders Sawyer {Flash Whoosh}
"You wanna tell us the truth?"
After a few moments of hesitation, Kate admits she was on the plane with the Marshal and yes she was wanted, caught and was being transported back. "No matter what I say about what happened, about what I supposedly did...I'm going to jail. But I didn't poison you"
When she wants to step closer to Michael, he backs away from her. He also hands the passport back to Sawyer. Everyone seems a bit disgusted and walks away.
Jin and others working on the raft while Sun looks on. Jack walks over and mentions that he/Jin looks determined. Sun agrees and also admits that she doesn't want Jin to go. Jack asks if that's the reason she tried to make him sick, "Is that why you tried to make him sick? Michael and Jin working together all the time... pretty easy for them to get their water bottles mixed up."
Sun cries-"I didn't want him to die out there. I just didn't know what to do. I only used enough to make him...I wasn't trying to hurt him. Are you going to tell the others?"
Jack-"I don't see any reason why they need to know. But Sun, he's going. If I were you, I'd...I'd say goodbye."
Kate stands alone poking at a campfire with a stick. Sawyer informs her he's back on the raft, "Michael's gonna cowboy up, set sail tomorrow." She asks if he's there to say he's sorry.
Sawyer-"Nah, sorry don't suit me. You cornered me, Freckles. I did what I had to."
Kate-"I cornered you?"
Sawyer-"You said if you wanted my spot you were going to take it. I guess I believed you. Well, that's that. I've got some packing to do."
Kate asks why it's so important for him to be on that raft. Sawyer feels it's because there ain't anything on this island worth staying for. Kate tells him to be safe.
Sawyer-"Yeah."
Michael tells Walt he's feeling better, "I'm going to be alright. Hey, don't worry. I'm going to be on my feet soon. We'll be sailing home before you can even..."
Walt blurts out he's the one who burned the raft because he didn't want to leave and thought he could stop Michael. He is really sorry. Michael says it's okay, they can stay there and they don't have to leave.
Walt-"Yes we do." {Why?!}
Kate sits alone sulking and Sun walks over. Sun tells her Jack knows but she didn't tell that it was Kate's idea. After all, why should Kate be punished when she was only trying to help Sun. Jack said he wouldn't tell the others.
Kate-"Yeah, Jack's good at keeping secrets."
Sun-"When I was a little girl I believed that once I found the man I loved I would be happy... forever."
Kate-" Yeah, me too."
Born to run is a great episode!
Here's another episode of Kate on the run. Is that Kate's role, her only role on the "Island"? She obviously has become a product of her circumstances too. Her "one crime" has led to how many other crimes? Having this woman be eternally on the run is a cycle of sorts, wouldn't you say? {Wink, wink} How can that cycle be broken? Interesting that Sawyer knows exactly what Kate is capable of.
We discover Sun is the one who poisoned the water in hopes that Jin would drink it and have to stay with her. That's so romantic! But Kate is the mastermind behind the idea and the concoction! We also learn that Jack is very good at keeping secrets. Yes, even the perfect doctor is good at that!
Michael has been in hyper mode to get off the "Island" and I still find important. I know, now the monsoons are coming, which must have been bullshit because the weather didn't really change on or around the "Island". Maybe Arzt isn't such a good teacher, but maybe he's a better motivator. But I do love Arzt! Obviously Michael and Walt know a few "little" things about the "Island".
Things to Note...Questions to ask...
* IMAGINING. Imagining what?!
* I.D. Identity.
* Kate's plate on her car was changed from Nebraska to OHIO and we're led to believe her "flash" takes place in Iowa. Are we seeing just your run of the mill plate change or is it more important?
* MRI. Hospital.
* Charlie- “When I come back alive.”
* Neuro. Head.&
* Teach. Learn
* Hide.
* Wire.
* Roles. Prisoner. Marshal. Teacher. Doctor.
* Fly around.
* Right
* Wrong.
* Light and Dark.
* Michael knows. Here's the thing, I feel that the Lostie's know they've been “there” before; they just don't really remember. But Michael may remember more than he lets on, hence his hurried behavior to get off the island. I know, it sounds out there, but hey, this thought is brought to you by Karen. LOL! Or is all that about Michael and his "role"?
* Memory Box. Time Capsule.
* S.O.B. Walt does know! Is Walt speaking of the hatch or something else that shouldn't be opened? Hmmm…or maybe it's something else altogether. Maybe it's just me but when Walt says they have to leave, it feels like things are supposed to happen or take a specific route, so to speak.
* How many criminals are on this island?
Vocabulary and Research…
* Convertible-Adaptable-Changeable-Translatable-Exchangeable.
* J boat- The International J is the world's most popular one-design keelboat. The boat is manufactured in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body.
We still have the "Island" of secrets. The "Island" itself is a secret, what goes on on the "Island" is a secret, everyone on the "Island" are secret keepers! How will we ever know who is telling the truth?
What is Kate’s role in all that we see? Is she at the heart of it all? I don’t know, but sometimes I feel like they’re playing "Grownup make believe", like a grown up live role playing game.
I'm very excited about the next episode; there is much to talk about there! And of course season 2 is filled with so many things. Season one is a great foundation for this story, but the meat of it is yet to come!
Love to all who are "LOST"™

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress.
{NO: PREVIOUSLY ON LOST}
A shot of a corn field area.
{Click the pics!}
A convertible car, driven by a blond/light woman, pulls into a motel parking lot. {Backpack in back seat.}
The woman reveals her stash of different state license plates that are hidden under the false floor of the trunk. She changes the Nebraska plate to an Ohio plate on her car.
As a family checks out of their no smoking room, 121, leaving the door open of course, the blond commandeers the room; but not before stealing towels and shampoo. {Note: The family leaves in a red van and the maid walks by the vacated room to open the door to another room. Also note when Kate enters the room she turns the door hanging sign from one side to the opposite side.} She changes her hair color to brown/dark.
This is “Kate”.
Kate interrupts the motel counter clerk from {looks like he’s playing a video game, I think}.
She’s expecting a letter, “Hold for guest arrival.”
Her alias is Joan Hart. {Heart}
His filing system is in a very interesting shoe box. He gives her the letter.
She sits in the car {Top closed} reads the letter and cries.
{Cash}
We get a shot panning up toward the clouds…
{Flash Whoosh}
…A toy plane.
Kate is flying the toy plane in her hands {even tilts it nose down.}.
Charlie-“Platinum!”
He blurts that out as he walks up to Kate strumming his guitar.
Charlie-“As in platinum record. As in a million units sold. Now, Drive Shaft's albums must have spiked when everybody found out that I died in some catastrophic plane disaster. When I come back, alive, it's going to be insane.”
He is SO happy! Kate asks if he thinks the raft will work.
Charlie-“Yeah, of course it will work. Look at that thing. It's not a raft. They built a sodding boat. And when they get picked up… the helicopters will come… making us ridiculously and eternally famous. What's the matter, don't you want to be famous?”
Kate looks over to see commotion by the raft and asks Charlie what he thinks is going on over there.
Arzt- “Sure, you can absolutely wait a few weeks before you launch. I was just assuming you didn't want to die.”
Michael- “So, when is the next time we can launch?”
Arzt tells him maybe four months.
Sawyer- “C’mon, even a weather man on TV don't know what's going to happen. Why are we listening to Arzt?”
Arzt reveals proudly it's because he’s a doctor and Sawyer’s a hillbilly.
Sawyer corrects him, “You're a damn high school science teacher.”
Jack wants to hear what Arzt has to say.
Arzt educates while Jin pulls on a wire. ”It's been raining every afternoon. That means that we are on the cusp on monsoon season. Monsoon season is bad. Now, the trade winds are blowing north right now… shipping lanes are north… so north is exactly where you want to be.”
He continues, “It means that when monsoon season hits the trade winds are going to shift to the south. The raft goes with the wind. Can anyone tell me what is the only piece of land that is south of us?”
The good student Jack {with key around his neck} answers- “Antarctica.”
Arzt-“That's right, Jack. Antarctica.”
Michael- “So, when do we have to leave?”
Arzt tells him, “Yesterday.”
Kate looks concerned.
Kate catches up to Michael and asks, “So obviously you believe him?”
Michael doesn’t know, but isn’t taking any chances. Kate inquires about his preparedness.
Michael-“Kate, no offense, but I've got work to do. Why the sudden interest?”
Kate-“Because I'm going with you.”
Michael tells her the raft’s full, “We need four, we got four.”
This includes Sawyer; they needed the stuff he had so he bought his way on. Kate feels that should only count for the first raft that burned. Michael isn’t going to get into semantics with her…
Kate informs him Sawyer doesn’t even know how to sail but she does. She spent two summers crewing J boats. Michael doesn’t budge and feels a deals a deal. So Kate plays the “Walt” card claiming him going-“It’s dangerous”.
Pissed off Michael decides what’s best for his boy, “And right now what’s best for him is to get the hell off this island. The raft’s full.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate walks down the hallway of a hospital with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There is an announcement for the Hospital chaplain to report the Neuro ICU. This scene is bathed in purple.
Kate tells the nurse behind the glass, “I have a delivery for Diane Jansen.”
Nurse-“Right, she just came up from ICU. She's in room two zero eight. It's around the corner to your right.”
Kate sees an officer sitting, reading a newspaper guarding a room. She uses the flowers to hide her face as she walks by him.
A doctor gets in to his car on parking level 3.
Kate shocks him as she’s been hiding in his back seat.
Tom- “Oh, Katie. What are you doing here?”
Kate shares Diane’s dying of cancer and she owed it to her to go and see her. Tom heard about Diane’s situation. Kate is hiding in the back of his car because she needs his help.
{Flash Whoosh}
Jin is busy working with a wire for the raft’s sail. Sun communicates with one cuff Jin in Korean.
Sun-“Are you going? Please Jin, talk to me.”
Jin says yes and Sun walks away.
Jack asks “How much further?”
Jack and Sayid are walking in the jungle. Sayid tells him they’re almost there. Sayid hadn’t told Jack where they’re going because he feels it's better for Jack to see it for himself but Jack isn’t so sure it is. If Sayid doesn’t tell him why he brought him out there he’s going to turn around.
Locke appears! “He brought you out here because I asked him to. I asked him not to tell you. I wanted you to have an open mind.”
Jack wonders, “Open mind about what?”
Locke motions for Jack to follow him.
Locke shows him…the hatch.
Jack- “My god, what is this thing?”
Locke-“Exactly. I guess it's time we talked about this.”
Michael is dragging a large piece of metal past Sawyer.
Sawyer is drinking water and calls to him. ”Yo, chief. Dumb question here…we're sailing out in the ocean, right?”
Michael-“Do you mind?”
Sawyer wonders why Sulu is packing a suitcase full of salted fish when they should be about to catch fish.
Michael asks him if he knows anything about surviving at sea, I.e., sailing, navigating, steering a raft.
Sawyer-“Do you?”
Michael feels it doesn't matter what he knows, “I built it. Maybe you are the wrong guy to go on the raft.”
Sawyer-“You're going to vote me off, Mickey? And who the hell's going to take my place?”
Kate is burning a passport.
Pissed off Sawyer asks Kate what the hell does she think she’s doing.
Sawyer- "Don't give me the aw-golly eyes. Michael just told me you were jockeying for my spot on the raft.”
Cocky Kate says she was just asking some questions and Michael must have misunderstood her.
Sawyer grabs her by the arm because he is on to her and knows what she’s doing. “Yeah, just like I know why you wanted that Halliburton case so bad, the one that belonged to that U.S. Marshal who was flying with us. You were his prisoner.”
Kate-“Let go of me.”
Sawyer-“The only chance of running is getting on that raft, ain't it? We get picked up by a ship and they come back to rescue the rest of you all…there's going to be a nice big asterisk next to your name. Don't worry puddin', your secrets' safe with me. But just so you know… no way in hell you're getting my spot on that raft.”
Kate- “Hey Sawyer. I want your spot; I'll get your spot.” She swaggers away.
Michael and Jin work on the raft. Michael wants Walt to give him the water.
Walt asks him what he and Sawyer were arguing about. {Watch Michael's body language and listen to his words, carefully.}
Michael-“I told him something he didn't want to hear.”
He tells Walt Sawyer wants on the raft badly because he knows it's going to work.
Walt-“When we get rescued we're going to come back for everybody else, right?”
Michael- “Yeah, sure, of course. The thing is…this island, uh, is, uh… finding it again might be hard.”
Walt-“Can't we fly around and look for it?”
Michael-“Absolutely, but there's no guarantees. That's why you and me...”
Michael feels sick, wobbles, fluffs it off and then doubles over in pain. He tells Walt to get Jack. {Jin, who is near them, doesn’t immediately jump down to help.}
Walt runs through the jungle and comes upon Kate and Sun. He tells the girls he needs help with his dad; his stomach is really bad. Kate will get Jack and Sun will take Walt back to Michael. Sun puts her water bottle down on the ground {in the middle of the friggin jungle} and runs off with Walt.
Kate runs through the jungle calling out for Jack; looking for him.
At the hatch Jack asks Locke how long has he known about this. Locke, who is playing with a stick, reveals three weeks, give or take. {Jack is on the hatch and Locke and Sayid are on the ground outside of the dug up hatch.}
Jack- “Three weeks. You've been out here for three weeks digging this thing up and you never told me about it?” {He kind of knew about a hatch from Boone.}
Locke-“All due respect, Jack, but since when do I report to you?”
Jack-“All due respect, John, but you lied.”
Locke asks Jack how long did he have that case full of guns before he decided the rest of them needed to know, “You used your best discretion. I used mine.”
Jack wonders how they open it.
Sayid is shocked, “What? You want to open it?”
He feels they should bury it, “I brought you here to talk him out of this insanity. Anything could be inside.”
Jack-“Best case scenario there's supplies. Worse case, we use it as a shelter.”
Sayid-“Actually, Jack, I can think of much worse cases than that. You notice anything about this hatch? There's no handle. Could the reason for that be more obvious? Maybe it was never meant to be opened from the outside.”
Locke, Jack and Sayid walk back to camp; hear Kate calling for to Jack. Kate tells Jack it’s Michael; somethings' wrong.
Jack asks Michael, who has great stomach pain, what he had to eat and drink today. Michael had fruit, fish and 2-3 bottles of water. The water comes from the caves just like everybody else’s. Michael insists they have to launch that raft tomorrow. Jack knows that, but he needs Michael to take stay in the shade, take it easy and don’t move around too much. Jack has him lay back. Jack and Locke walk away and Kate tends to Michael telling him to lay down. Walt looks concerned.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is at Tom's house looking at pictures of his family on the refrigerator.
Tom is on the phone-“Hello? Hey, Adam. Hey, listen can you carve out some time for me on the MRI? Yeah, it's a favor for a friend of a friend. Um no, that would work out great, okay. Yeah. Thanks, Adam. {Hangs up and notes Kate looking longingly at the pics and tells her} His name's Conner.”
Conner is 22 months old next week. {Note pic of Tom has red eyes.}
Kate comments on the blond boy's beauty; Tom feels “It’s Rachel, it’s not me.”
Tom reveals she’s over in Cedar Rapids visiting her folks; they get back on Sunday. "I got Diane in for an MRI. Now, they'll bring her downstairs to radiology. The appointments not til 5am, so, we've got about three hours to kill.”
Kate- “Tom.”
Tom-“You're welcome.” {Was she going to say thank you?}
Kate-“You think it's still there?”
Tom- ”What?”
Kate-“You know what.”
Tom-“It's the middle of the night, Katie.”
Kate-“We might not get another chance."
They drive to a big tree with some cattle/steer grazing. Kate counts off six paces and they dig.
{Flash Whoosh}
“What do you think it is? Heat stroke?” asks Locke.
Jack doesn’t think so as Michael would have felt that coming on. It couldn’t be bad fruit or raw fish because Jin’s not sick and they’re on the same diet. Jack feels what was making him sick was metabolized fast; it hit him quick and it hit him hard. He looks through the cooler of empty bottles and comes up with one that proves something was put into the bottle of water.
Jin is working on the raft with a few of the camp residents.
Michael {white towel on his head} tells Jack the cramps are quieting down; as long as he doesn’t move or breathe. They notice Hurley and Locke chatting.
Michael asks-“You and Locke kiss and make up? {Jack shakes his head, no.} Good.”
Michael needs some water so Jack gives him one he knows isn’t tainted.
Michael-“Somebody did this to me?”
Jack doesn’t know; he’s not sure of anything yet. Walt sits nearby them watching and listening.
Michael states,“Sawyer.”
Hurley and Locke chat.
Hurley-“I'm on bamboo duty, but yeah sometimes I help refill the water.”
Locke inquires if Michael and Jin are getting along. Hurley says they fight like a married couple building a raft together. Jack walks over and shares with Locke that Michael thinks Sawyer might have done it.
Hurley interjects, “Oh, because of Kate?”
Jack-“Kate?”
Hurley-“Yeah, I guess she wants on the raft. So Sawyer went off on Michael because, you know he gets to decide who goes. Hey, you don't think Kate did it do you?”
Locke wonders why Kate would poison Michael.
Hurley-“Well, you know… the whole… fugitive thing.”
Jack gives Hurley a “Ya opened your big mouth look”.
Hurley-“He doesn't know. Well how am I supposed to keep straight who knows what around here? I mean Steve didn't even know about the polar bear!”
Locke asks what she did. Jack doesn’t know but suggests Locke ask her.
Locke-“And you didn't think the others should know about this, Jack?”
Jack-“Discretion, John.”
Aaron sleeps in his crib. Charlie plays and bops to the tune he’s playing on guitar, as Claire simultaneously trims his hair. Claire needs him to stop moving or she’ll cut his ear off. Charlie is very happy that he is writing again, “I'm really feeling it as well. So, what's the first thing you're going to do when we get rescued?"
Claire doesn’t know. Charlie tells her she can hang out with him in L.A.. “You and turnip head. You know, until you figure things out.”
She thanks him.
Happy Charlie finds that smashing. “Okay, check this out. This is track two. It's called... Claire forces him to keep his head straight-eyes forward while she cuts} Sorry. It's called ‘Monster Eats the Pilot’.”
Jack is in the caves looking through the Oceanic-medical cart and Kate comes in asking how Michael is doing. Jack says he’s fine. Kate wonders if somebody is going to take his place on the raft, “because Dr. Arzt said if they leave tomorrow…”
Jack cuts her off and outright asks her if she poisoned Michael. Kate is shocked and insulted he’d think that!
Jack-“He's not sick, someone did this.”
Kate-“Do you really think I'm capable of that?”
Jack-“I don't know what you're capable of.”
Kate turns and walks away. {Watch her face.}
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate digs while Tom gets a beer from the car.
Kate-“You brought beer?”
Of course he did as he’s a self respecting Iowa man. Kate chugs some. Tom feels it’s not fair; her coming back here, home. Kate knows.
Kate digs and hit something metal-ish. She retrieves an old rusty New Kids on the Block lunch box. In the box is a red Westhills ball cap, the toy plane, a cassette tape.
Tom- “Oh my god. My plane. I can't believe I let you talk me into putting this in there.
Kate indicates no it wasn’t, “That was your idea.” She picks up the tape, “Kate and Tom, 1989.
They listen to the tape in the car. We hear the voices of sweet younger versions of themselves dreaming of their future.
Tom-”Is it on? I don't think it's on.”
Kate- “It’s on.”
Tom- “Okay, uh, this is Kate Austen and Tom Brennan and this is um, our dedication for our time capsule, here on August 15th, 1989. Hey, give me that back.”
Kate- “Why are you putting this stupid plane in there?”
Tom- “Because it's cool, Katie. I got it when I flew to Dallas by myself.”
Kate- “Ooh, that is cool, just like this time capsule.”
Tom- “It'll be totally cool when we dig it up in like… 20 years.”
Kate- “How do you know we'll be together?”
Tom- “Because we'll be married and you'll be a mom and we'll have nine kids.”
Kate- “I don't think so. As soon as I get my license we should just get in a car and drive. You know, run away.”
Tom-“You always want to run away, Katie.”
Kate- “Yeah…and you know why.”
The tape stops
Tom- “Funny how things turn out, huh?"
Kate-“Yeah.”
Teary eyed Kate kisses Tom; Kate is sorry.
Tom just suggests they get to the hospital. They drive off.
{Flash Whoosh}
Locke is sitting by a campfire mixing up some gunk paste in a coconut shell with his big knife. Walt walks over warily to him. He sees Locke has an injured leg and asks if it hurts. Locke admits it does; he had a little accident. Locke asks Walt if there’s something he want to tell him.
Walt-“I didn't do it.”
Lock-“Didn't do what?”
Walt- “I heard Jack. He thinks somebody got my dad sick. And I didn't do it.”
Locke- “You think because I know you burned the first raft that I'd think you made your dad sick? {He nods.} We're friends, Walt. I didn't tell on you before and I'm not going to tell on you now. {Locke touches Walt’s wrist.} And I know you would never do anything to hurt your dad.
Walt looks down at Locke's hand and quickly pulls his arm away as if he's afraid.
Locke-“What's the matter?"
Walt-“Don't open it.”
Locke-“What'd you say?”
Walt-“Don't open it, Mr. Locke. Don't open that thing.”
Locke- “What? What thing?”
Walt-“Just don't open it!”
Sawyer tosses a bottle of pink Stomach Relief medicine at Michael. He thought he might need it, “Wouldn't want our pilot out of commission before take-off.”
Michael wonders if Sawyer’s feeling guilty and informs him he’s off the raft. Sawyer’s pissed because they had a deal.
Michael-“Yeah, well, the deal ended the minute you decided to poison me.”
Sawyer- “What now?”
Michael waves him off, “I'm done with you.”
Sawyer-“You ain't done with me by a damn sight. You said you needed four!”
Michael- “I've got four! You've been stealing stuff off of dead bodies, keeping it for yourself, using it to buy favors. You're a liar and a criminal, and I'm not letting you near my boy."
Sawyer is shocked and pissed off! “Oh, I'm a criminal, huh? I poisoned you because I'm a criminal."
Jin pushes Sawyer away.
Sawyer tells Jin, “Get your hands off me, boy.”
Then he walks over to Kate and says, “Hey, sweet-cheeks, I had no idea how bad you wanted off this rock. Time to set things straight.”
He grabs Kate by the wrist and pulls her over to Michael. Kate demands he let go of her but he is going to reveal the identity of the real criminal to them. As everyone is chiming in for Sawyer to leave her alone, he opens her backpack and dumps her stuff out and presents the passport Kate was altering.
Sawyer- “You all remember Joanna, don't you? Huh? The woman who drowned? Now what's Kate doing with poor Joanna's ID? Could it be she'd do just about anything to get on that raft? So she could get herself rescued, run off with a new identity before half the reporters in the world descend on this damn island? She might even poison the captain himself.”
Kate yells for him to shut up.
Sawyer-“She don't care about nothin' or nobody but herself.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Tom and a hospital worker wheel Diane down the hallway. Tom dismisses his helper and motions to Kate she can come out now. Tom will wait in his office while she visits with her mom. Diane looks terrible and her eyes are closed.
Kate-“Hi, mom. Can you hear me? Mom?”
Diane slowly opens her eyes. Kate cries and tenderly touches her mother's hand, “It's me, Katie.”
Diane-“Katherine?”
Kate- “It's me, Katherine. I'm so sorry for everything I have put you through."
Diane starts to cry and very weakly calls out for “Help”.
Kate tries to tell her it's okay but Diane is hell bent on summoning help. A hospital worker sees Kate and she runs away; she runs right into a security guard who asks her what’s going on.
Kate shares that she’s her daughter, “She's just confused. I was going to get a doctor.”
The security guard grabs hold of Kate and radios that they have a situation. Kate grabs his walki talki and hits him.
Tom shows up, Kate needs his car keys. She takes off running and Tom runs after her.
Kate drives Tom in his car. {Plate-394-GC2} A police car blocks her escape! Kate tells Tom to get out! But Tom is not letting her do this, if she cooperates they’ll go easy and she can have a real life. Kate sees the cop calling for backup and demands he get out because she’s got to go, but he won’t go. Kate drives through the blockade and the cop fires three shots at the car hitting Tom. Kate takes off and crashes into another car. {Plate 614-GJ5}
Kate-“Tom? Tom! Oh god, Tom. No, no, no, Tom. Please wake up.”'
She sees that other cop cars are coming, notes the items on the backseat and takes off running.
"You wanna tell us why you need to run so bad." wonders Sawyer {Flash Whoosh}
"You wanna tell us the truth?"
After a few moments of hesitation, Kate admits she was on the plane with the Marshal and yes she was wanted, caught and was being transported back. "No matter what I say about what happened, about what I supposedly did...I'm going to jail. But I didn't poison you"
When she wants to step closer to Michael, he backs away from her. He also hands the passport back to Sawyer. Everyone seems a bit disgusted and walks away.
Jin and others working on the raft while Sun looks on. Jack walks over and mentions that he/Jin looks determined. Sun agrees and also admits that she doesn't want Jin to go. Jack asks if that's the reason she tried to make him sick, "Is that why you tried to make him sick? Michael and Jin working together all the time... pretty easy for them to get their water bottles mixed up."
Sun cries-"I didn't want him to die out there. I just didn't know what to do. I only used enough to make him...I wasn't trying to hurt him. Are you going to tell the others?"
Jack-"I don't see any reason why they need to know. But Sun, he's going. If I were you, I'd...I'd say goodbye."
Kate stands alone poking at a campfire with a stick. Sawyer informs her he's back on the raft, "Michael's gonna cowboy up, set sail tomorrow." She asks if he's there to say he's sorry.
Sawyer-"Nah, sorry don't suit me. You cornered me, Freckles. I did what I had to."
Kate-"I cornered you?"
Sawyer-"You said if you wanted my spot you were going to take it. I guess I believed you. Well, that's that. I've got some packing to do."
Kate asks why it's so important for him to be on that raft. Sawyer feels it's because there ain't anything on this island worth staying for. Kate tells him to be safe.
Sawyer-"Yeah."
Michael tells Walt he's feeling better, "I'm going to be alright. Hey, don't worry. I'm going to be on my feet soon. We'll be sailing home before you can even..."
Walt blurts out he's the one who burned the raft because he didn't want to leave and thought he could stop Michael. He is really sorry. Michael says it's okay, they can stay there and they don't have to leave.
Walt-"Yes we do." {Why?!}
Kate sits alone sulking and Sun walks over. Sun tells her Jack knows but she didn't tell that it was Kate's idea. After all, why should Kate be punished when she was only trying to help Sun. Jack said he wouldn't tell the others.
Kate-"Yeah, Jack's good at keeping secrets."
Sun-"When I was a little girl I believed that once I found the man I loved I would be happy... forever."
Kate-" Yeah, me too."
Born to run is a great episode!
Here's another episode of Kate on the run. Is that Kate's role, her only role on the "Island"? She obviously has become a product of her circumstances too. Her "one crime" has led to how many other crimes? Having this woman be eternally on the run is a cycle of sorts, wouldn't you say? {Wink, wink} How can that cycle be broken? Interesting that Sawyer knows exactly what Kate is capable of.
We discover Sun is the one who poisoned the water in hopes that Jin would drink it and have to stay with her. That's so romantic! But Kate is the mastermind behind the idea and the concoction! We also learn that Jack is very good at keeping secrets. Yes, even the perfect doctor is good at that!
Michael has been in hyper mode to get off the "Island" and I still find important. I know, now the monsoons are coming, which must have been bullshit because the weather didn't really change on or around the "Island". Maybe Arzt isn't such a good teacher, but maybe he's a better motivator. But I do love Arzt! Obviously Michael and Walt know a few "little" things about the "Island".
Things to Note...Questions to ask...
* IMAGINING. Imagining what?!
* I.D. Identity.
* Kate's plate on her car was changed from Nebraska to OHIO and we're led to believe her "flash" takes place in Iowa. Are we seeing just your run of the mill plate change or is it more important?
* MRI. Hospital.
* Charlie- “When I come back alive.”
* Neuro. Head.&
* Teach. Learn
* Hide.
* Wire.
* Roles. Prisoner. Marshal. Teacher. Doctor.
* Fly around.
* Right
* Wrong.
* Light and Dark.
* Michael knows. Here's the thing, I feel that the Lostie's know they've been “there” before; they just don't really remember. But Michael may remember more than he lets on, hence his hurried behavior to get off the island. I know, it sounds out there, but hey, this thought is brought to you by Karen. LOL! Or is all that about Michael and his "role"?
* Memory Box. Time Capsule.
* S.O.B. Walt does know! Is Walt speaking of the hatch or something else that shouldn't be opened? Hmmm…or maybe it's something else altogether. Maybe it's just me but when Walt says they have to leave, it feels like things are supposed to happen or take a specific route, so to speak.
* How many criminals are on this island?
Vocabulary and Research…
* Convertible-Adaptable-Changeable-Translatable-Exchangeable.
* J boat- The International J is the world's most popular one-design keelboat. The boat is manufactured in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body.
We still have the "Island" of secrets. The "Island" itself is a secret, what goes on on the "Island" is a secret, everyone on the "Island" are secret keepers! How will we ever know who is telling the truth?
What is Kate’s role in all that we see? Is she at the heart of it all? I don’t know, but sometimes I feel like they’re playing "Grownup make believe", like a grown up live role playing game.
I'm very excited about the next episode; there is much to talk about there! And of course season 2 is filled with so many things. Season one is a great foundation for this story, but the meat of it is yet to come!
Love to all who are "LOST"™

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress.
