Hidee Ho!
It’s Spring Break. Whohoo!!! Cancun? Mazatlan? Hell no…Just looking forward to a new episode of Lost! Sorry for the delay..fell asleep. But there was soooo much to process this week.
On to the show…and remember our new format (Summary, Connections, Questions).
Summary
I thought it was a good episode. I do like it more when the flashbacks tie in better to the story. This time, it was a peek, but not a full look. Good Sawyer and Jack scenes… best line goes to Kate (“Should I go get a ruler?”) Hurley was good as well.
KNEW IT!!! The “Henry” is an Other. But is he?!? We will discuss this later in the Questions section. He is definitely playing Locke, who is once again being set-up. I think that the flashback to Locke being a Home Inspector definitely illustrates how his previous life figures into the island (analyzing, observing, knowing how to fix things) definitely better than working for a Box Company.
I think they would all be better off if they talked more to each other. No one shares information which adds to the confusion. Locke probably will not mention the map, Kate did not mention the beard…so it is no wonder that they don’t ask the right questions when the time comes – they don’t share or ask them of each other.
Connections
This is a hard section because there were so many….the map stuff I got off the website because I don’t speak Latin at all.
Locke Flashback
Cooper (Locke’s father) is a con artist. We know he is rich and conned Locke out of his liver…but was he really? Rich men don’t hide out in motels even if they were faking their own death. The con is the most important part. Cooper is Sawyer. Remember Sawyer (James) took on the alter ego of the man he is trying to find. That man is Cooper (Locke’s dad). I thought Maybe Helen was in on it too (the long con) but I don’t think so. I think the bigger link is between Locke and Sawyer. The safe deposit box had some of the numbers in it. And Kate was trying to rob a safe deposit box…but I think the clearer link is Locke and Sawyer.
You all saw Nadia as the new owner of the house that Locke was inspecting. So she did not die as Sayid thought.
Oceanic plane flying overhead as Locke was at the motel at the end.
When Helen was at the door of the motel, she said, “Are you him?” Just like Desmond said to Locke when they were in the hatch.
Back on the Island
Food from the food drop was for the swan hatch (swan logo on the food).
Address on driver’s license for the real Henry Gale matches flight number of the plane. There are a lot of other similarities to the numbers on the driver license – added up etc they all relate to the numbers.
Great picture of the map on the wall- http://lost.cubit.net/pics/2x17/blastDoorMap.jpg
Below are the Latin translations of the words –
Cogito Ergo Doleo - I think therefore I am depressed
sursum corda - lift up your hearts
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest - It’s a bad plan that can’t be changed.
(Publilius Syrus) Malum prohibitum - A prohibited wrong. ...
aegrescit medendo - the treatment is worse than the disease (BEST ONE)
Hic sunt dracones - Here be dragons (maybe the magnetic field…black smoke?)
Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est - The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse - I think we're on the same wavelength
CVII = 107
CVIII = 108
The entire map shows the connections between the hatches and what has gone on before. It is believed that Desmond made this map.
Questions
Okay…here is where the wild theories run rampant.
Henry was sent to scout for the food drop and was using Henry Gale as his cover. He is captured by the French woman and then Sayid. So the options are that he is an Other, trying to get the food since the survivors are in the hatch. Or he is part of the Dharma group and is helping to shift the experiment. Or he is Kelvin (Desmond’s partner-thought to be dead).
I think the doors come down so that the drop can be made. Somehow the magnetic field is lowered so that the parachute can pass and land. Maybe it’s also to keep them from pushing the button, which maintains the magnetic field. I think Desmond and Kelvin (Henry) are part of the experiment and have found answers…but are still clueless. They are there to push the button every 108. They are then restricted from pushing the button when the food drop is made. I think Henry went and reset the system and opened the doors for Locke. He didn’t leave because he needs something from Locke as well as from the group. Better to create an ally.
The doors start to close and Henry is panicked. He typically doesn’t speak to them outside just listens and gains more insight. So why now? Because he knew what was happening. Remember he questioned about how the food got there etc. He was really trying to find out what they knew. Or perhaps trying to establish a time line? The doors come down to indicate the dropping of the food. I thought the woman sounded like Helen… but it was really someone indicating the coordinates and count down for the drop. I think once Henry was out….he shut off the function and reopened the door. No way he remembered those numbers he just heard once…can you recite them and we have heard them for over a year!
Sayid knew Henry was lying because as he said, “he had no passion for his wife.” So he continued to dig and see that it was really someone else. The real Henry Gale is connected somehow to them, but it is still unknown how.
So big things that happened:
-Confirmed Henry is lying
-Outside contact with the world possible (food drop)
-Map on the wall of the Hatch
The Week Ahead
Did you see the preview for next week!!! Don’t eat the food! It’s contaminated…or laced with a hallucinogenic? Think...Hurley has been sneaking food from the hatch…taking more than everyone else…the rest eat the fish and fruit – he needs the processed junk. Only logical that he would be affected first.
Have a great rest of the week!!!

The Whole Truth
I know I'm late, Ryan. I am starting to get some semblance of a life! :) Is that alright with you!!!
Hi all! We have some new members to the Lost cult. We will get them all!!! (Insert evil laugh here). I think I am going to become more organized in thought. So to summarize the show you really have to do it on 3 levels...General summary, Connections and Questions.
Okay....on to the show.
Summary:
Good episode. More background. Small clues this week, more character development. Always look at the show titles for clues. This week, "The Whole Truth" - the quest for them to learn the truth about Henry and to learn about Sun's pregnancy. Both of which still leave questions. I loved Charlie this week. He is becoming sharper as the weeks roll by, a little crazy, but also sharp. Of course Sawyer's "Sunshine" nickname. Always good ones. I think the episode drew more lines for us between who will eventual become enemies and allies. Henry yet again proving he is an Other more and more. I truly believe he is part of the experiment. He is not there to hurt them....but to push the experiment in more directions. He makes them question their humanity (Sayid), the trust issues (Locke and Jack), logic (being in the hatch, map) - in every way. Of course if he was an Other he would have seen the real Henry land in the hot air balloon. So Ana Lucia, Sayid and Charlie finding it means nothing. Also if the Others were observing...not to hard to make that happen. Remember rain=others. Always a tie between the two.
Connections:
The name of the pregnancy test company was Widmore. The same name as the construction company that was in Charlie's flashback episode. Also the name of the construction company Michael worked for.
When Locke said the "running like the devil is chasing you" comment to Ana Lucia, It was the same exchange between Desmond and Jack in the stadium back in Australia.
Pregnancy test - someone on the plane thought they were pregnant? Who? Some think Shannon. Has to be someone who is still there and no point for it to be Shannon, she's dead. But I think probably Libby (Psychologist). There has got to be a reason...they never show something just for the heck of it. And it wasn't already on the island, no Hanso logo.
I think Ana Lucia and Sayid just may hook up eventually. But its gonna take him breaking down in front of her..angry love. :)
I found the dialogue between Sawyer and Bernard on the beach. I didn't post it because there are no real clues there...small talk. But I think there is a BIG connection between that and Walt. Perhaps Walt is speaking in another language? Much like how Jin hears it the same way as Shannon. I always assumed it was because of some sort of time shift and that's why they hear it at a different speed and backwards. I think there is more to it than that. Would Jin understand if Walt talked to him? That would be a cool twist!
The 2 books: Are you there God, it's me Margaret...which I loved as a kid (We must, we must, we must increase our busts!) Story about a preteen girl who grew up with no religion, one parent Christian and the other Jewish. It explored her quest for a single religion as well as liking boys and general pre-teen crap.
And The Brother Karamazov - To sum it up - A Russian book about brothers who have kill their father with different levels on complicity.
The literary stuff is too deep for me....just give me the rain, Hanso logos and black smoke any day!
Questions:
No one found it odd that Charlie had a gun? Of all people. Not to mention I thought Ana Lucia noticed his clothing and put it together that he was the one that took Sun. But alas no.
Is Jin the father? Now the show plays many tricks on us..with Sun's reactions and smiles. If she really questioned how he could be fertile now and not before, why not ask Jack? He is a doctor. Ask about the odds of the original diagnosis being wrong. She responded "its complicated." Not the same as its not suppose to be possible. Why are Sun and Locke hiding their miraculous physical changes? I think because for Locke it was all psychological and for Sun it's not Jin's. Sometimes the correct explanation is the obvious one. Sun is also a smart woman. She knows what the pregnancy can mean being on the island - possible abduction. Is she afraid of what it could be? I think there is very little chance of her having this baby on the island. I cannot see that in her future. But it could be an interesting twist. But think about it...we are on day 60-65 in Lost land, and its season 2. That baby is not going to be here any time soon.
I like Sun...but I think she is lying through her teeth. She tells him you're sterile. But I never slept with anyone else. Of course he doesn't want to face the fact that he could have been sterile and happily accepts he's the father. But the dates don't really add up...she slept with him just 2 weeks ago when he came back from the raft....they have only been there 60 days total. For her to have those symptoms takes time. She is crafty. Everyone has secrets on this island. And their character flaws revealed.
The previews for next week looked great! I heard Desmond is the voice on the loud speaker as the walls come down. I have no doubt that Henry does something to cause the walls to come down. Locke and him are trapped inside together. Can't wait!!!
That's all I have for now.
C-ya!!!

Maternity Leave
My computer crashed. ARGH!!! Luckily I have 4 others. :)
I had just finished typing!!! SO I am going to try and remember everything I wrote.
A whole hour and 3 minutes this week…. Yippee! Is that suppose to make us ignore the fact that Lost will not be on next week!?! But it was gooooood tonight!
I think the BEST part of the episode was the glue!!! Man when I saw that…I couldn’t believe it! It’s all a scam. I knew the man in the hall was Zeke by the voice…and from when he met Jack that he didn’t have any real power. It all adds to the illusion of being “stranded’ on the island. Pushing a make believe button. Perhaps the “others” get on and off the island. There must be a larger bunker which is where they live. They are watching the survivors. Back to the theory that the black smoke is some sort of security system.
We are all being led to believe that the intern was Alex…but there is more to that I’m sure. Why leave her mother in the jungle all these years? Maybe it’s be there instead of prison for going crazy and killing her crew. So many more questions!!!
Sawyer and his “Thelma” comment (as in Thelma and Louise). Notice the NUMBERS were on the medicine bottles.
Mr. Ecko being a bad ass as usual, cool as can be. He knows Henry is an Other. I kind of saw it 2 ways…he felt he had to confess to the Others and David is the only Other he can confess to. Or that none of the survivors would understand being remorseful for killing an Other. I think Mr. Ecko understands that he should have been taken. He wants back on the “good” list. I know he is a plant…but to get what? Or who? What is so important about the lists? Was Henry sent in to get the list? Any ides who the “he” Zeke was referring to. I first thought Hanso the head guy. But what if they are referring to Henry Gale? Why bring him up at all if there is no connection.
On to Claire. The lullaby is the song she asked if the adopted parents knew from season 1. Odd how it just happens to be playing on the mobile. I think the psych doc was on to something about projecting prior memories into current experiences. Also interesting that it is a song that Claire’s father use to sing. Dad issues again. Reminds me of the movie The Village. The parents thinking they are doing what is in the best interest for themselves and their children after they all experience a traumatic event. Maybe all the dad’s are in on the experiment. Far fetched but let’s just go crazy! It’s just as crazy as thinking the plane was crashed on purpose to get them there. Why little oceanic planes on the mobile. Kind of like product placement.
I’m tired…must finish typing. J Again, Claire was in the hatch maybe a month ago…why does it seem so old? Time shift theory keeps rearing its ugly head. Zeke just wore that beard for Jack etc….why would he have left it abandoned down there? I am going to be interested if and when she reveals to Jack the clothes and costumes. And of course…why didn’t they go down the other corridor? The one the Ethan steered her away from. Questions, questions, questions! Some semi answers.
All in all… a good episode. See ya in 2 weeks everybody. ‘night!
