fatal nosebleeds...
kinda back? i'm posting randomness like below on facebook now. i'll cut and paste to here too from now on in case anyone ends up at this page.
Montand’s arm!!! It was back in the first season finale (I think?), on the way to the Black Rock, when Danielle told Jack about it:
“The Black Rock is not far. This is where it all began -- where my team got infected -- where Montand lost his arm. We must move quickly.”
“Lost his arm”. Nice way of saying it got ripped off violently (one of the greatest Lost scenes ever.). So the temple is near the Black Rock, and Smokey or something/someone ‘infected’ the rest of the crew when they went in search of the rest of Monty.
That was a nice long look at the smoke monster/cerebus (guarding the entrance to the temple/underworld)!
Poor Charlotte – too much tripping thru time fried her brain. Why is there a stronger effect on people that have spent more time on the island? Something to do with becoming attuned to the island? How much time had Minkowski (the radio operator from the ship last season) spent on the island? Are we gonna see him there in the past… I remember his last flash memory had something to do with a roller coaster – always thought it would be cool to have seen that off-island during someone else’s flashback, but we don’t get those anymore, do we? Dear departed Charlotte loved Geronimo Jackson (I wonder if she was listening to it on the record player in the hatch, or in one of New Otherton’s bungalows), couldn’t have chocolate before dinner - is that how Faraday gets her attention in the past? “Here’s some candy little girl, when you leave this island never come back because you’ll die a nasty headachey death!!”, and her Dad was still on the island when she left. I loved the idea that her mom raised her telling her the island was just a fantasy…island, and she spent her life tracking it down. Man, she musta been psyched to find that Dharma Harness on the polar bear in Tunisia!!
I had a theory that Christian/The Mouth of Jacob was some sort of “shepherd” of death, leading people to the great beyond; Mikey, Claire. I could still be right I guess… but I don’t know what it means. He was pissed that Locke let Ben turn the frozen donkey wheel! Say hello to my son… “Who’s your son?” ha ha ha, great!
And I was off on Sun being evil, but what i don’t quite understand is why she blames Ben for Jin. Widmore i can understand - she knew he was the one that sent the boat that blew up with Jin on it. Maybe she knows they were looking for Ben, but as far as i know she doesn’t know that Ben killed the guy that made the boat detonate - unless Locke/Bentham ended up telling her all that? Still kinda weird, you'd think she'd want to shoot Jack or Kate first, the ones that actually LEFT Jin on the boat.
“If the two of you knew what I've done to keep your and your friends safe the past few years, you'd be thanking me for the rest of your lives!!!!!!!” Ben’s had a lot of good lines, and that was right up there.Was Ben shocked to see Desmond show up? Seemed like Faraday being Hawking’s son was a revelation to him, I thought that dude knew everything!! So did he, by the look on his face. Speaking of Des - Charlotte had always seen Daniel when she was a kid, Alpert had always seen Locke in the 40’s, but Des woke up with a NEW memory from the past - he’s like the time travel wild card; rules do not apply to him. Hawking, the time travel queen of hearts, seems to know this and was in the right place at the right time during the whole engagement ring thing… to steer him in the right direction, because he alone could do something different in the past thus destroying the space/time continuum as we know it?… freaky. Mindblowingly freaky.
So when are everyone on the island? Did it stop back in the 70’s for now and that’ll explain Daniel’s infiltration of Dharma? How long will they be stuck there (if they’re there, that is…)? If they kill Ben as a kid what would happen? Will Miles run into Marvin Candle/Mark Wickmund/Edgar Halliwax/Dad? If Smokey is Cerebus guarding the underworld (remember the map on the blast door), and Hawking does all of her Foucault's Pendulum shit from the bowels of a church – is that the writers telling us who’s good and who’s evil? Or are smokes and Hawking on the same side – course correction for the universe.
Locke kept his word, he didn’t tell Sun about Jin when they met. Did he tell Ben, or is Ben just guessing to play Sun?
so. many. questions. Can you believe there are only about 30 hours of LOST left??
