What was the name of this episode? THAT'S how unspoiled I was; I didn't even know its name!
*is ashamed*
Anyhow, no spoilers beyond tonight's show, not even previews. And I'm ready to collapse into bed, so I will read and comment on ALL of your reviews first thing in the morning! Pinkie promise. ♥
As usual, this won't be a real review. I'll leave out important stuff because I don't know what the hell it means, yet. But here's what my brain has muddled through so far:
FIRST, MAKE MY SAWYER STOP BLEEDING. JACK, GET TO YOUR BOY STAT!!!!!
and to
The flashes have always reminded me of contractions. They're like a woman in labor, all the more so since Lost seems to be fixated on the birth process. The "contractions" have been coming closer and closer together. Then Locke turns the wheel, like a doctor performing an assisted birth...and where will our people be delivered to in the end? I think the flashes will be over with in the next episode and the *I*6 (see below) will finally be able to rest...somewhere. sometime.
I see two groups. I see the *O*6 back in the real world -- Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, and Aaron. I see the *I*6 on the island -- Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles. Each group has their leader -- Jack in the real world and Sawyer on the island. Each group has a seventh member, a loose cannon -- Ben and Locke, each with his own agenda. Each trying to manipulate his own group into believing that his agenda is in the best interest of everyone in the group. Jack's group is the most unruly one. At least Sawyer's group sticks together, even if they don't always agree. It's hard to make people *want* to go back to the island (and I'm so glad that my Jack wants to go; he has to save Sawyer yet again, of course!). It's even a hard sell for the *I*6, because the two who love members of the O6 -- Jin and Sawyer -- want the people they love to be happy, and they assume that they're happier (or at least, safer) off the island. As always, it's impossible to get those people to agree about anything!
I warned you, here be much randomness: Charlotte said that back when she was a little girl, a man told her never to come back to the island. He said that the island meant death. She said that man was Daniel. If she's right, then Daniel tried to change time. He's already done that with Desmond. Somehow I have a hard time buying his admonitions to Sawyer and the others that it's useless to try, since he seems to be doing it all over the place. Is he doing to them what I do to my kids, saying, "Do as I SAY, not as I DO?" Pfffft!
Oh, Locke. You're going to be "a sacrifice the island demanded," just like you told Boone he was. Doesn't sound so noble when the shoe is on the other foot (your own), does it? Would it be inappropriate for me to say, "NEENER"?
One last observation: Sawyer was holding the rope when time shifted and obliterated the well. [I'm assuming it flashed forward, since the rope was still there, but anyway.] Me, I had a sudden flashback, to when Sawyer buried Nikki and Paulo alive.
I'm thinking that the last two paragraphs have one thing in common. Whisper it with me, Frank Duckett: "It'll come back around."
