I'm also starting to think that Hurley was right and the bodies in the cave-thing were the bodies of the original flight making everything a total mind-frack.<br />I've got my own pretty whacked-out theory of what might happen, but I think it's even too strange for here...<br />One thing I did notice though in the last episode, Jack's son was reading, "Annotated Alice." The character Alice was inspired by a real girl and her name was "Alice Liddel." We know Claire's last name is "Littleton." Also, Claire's mother's first name was "Carole" and the author of, "Alice in Wonderland" & "Through the Looking Glass" was Lewis Carol.<br /><br />p.s.

Jack is the greatest anti-heroes ever. I ...I agree. Jack is the greatest anti-heroes ever. I also am aware that Jack is the center of the show, even though some of us like to believe that other people are. He was the beginning and he will be the end of the show. I just hate him, like you hate Claire. RIP John Locke. May your memory live in us all. Ha ha.<br /><br />Anyways...<br /><br />Okay, I'll give you the point involving she's probably a subplot at best. There is animosity though, just hidden. Kate and Jack took care of her baby when they left the island. Crazy Claire is not going to be too happy about Aaron being off the island even though she abandon him. <br /><br />As for the man in black, I was just throwing out an idea. I don't full believe that is true. However, the rules might be that once jacob was killed, he stayed in that form permanently. You make a good point about Jacob-Christian tie. Maybe Jacob and the MIB was Christian at certain time.<br /><br />Yeah. Flocke at the temple. Sayid going on a rampage. Dogen as the new B.A. since Pai Mei in Kill Bill.

Nothing, not one ...First off, thanks for the props. Nothing, not one single thing, makes me feel better than hearing something nice about this blog. For realz.<br /><br />Okay, I agree with you Jack is frustrating, but that's also by design. He is, in my opinion, one of the best flawed heroes ever. We've gotten to know him so well that we KNOW when he's about to do something dumb. He's irritating because he's not your typical perfect hero and I love that. <br /><br />Okay, I grant you that Claire now must exist, but I still hate her. I don't really see what she's going to add to the story, she's a subplot at best. A subplot that I grant you will and should be solved, but hopefully quickly. I hope we get an explanation that lasts 2 minutes as a bullet flies through her head (the character, not the actress, I don't hate her acting that much). <br /><br />As for the siblings on opposite sides, I don't know that I care...what I mean is, yes it's thematically kind of cool, but the characters (A) didn't know they were bro and sis for a LONG time (Claire still doesn't know) and (B) are being manipulated so it isn't like there's animosity. I don't know. <br /><br />Here's the problem with Christian being MiB. Ilana said that the MiB was trapped as Flocke now, right? Well, we've seen Christian appear on the island to Sun and Lupidus while Flocke was still running around on the island. Thus, it would seem tough for Christian to be the MiB. Also, I hasten to point out, we haven't seen Christian since Jacob got whacked. I'm still going with the Jacob-Christian tie I think. <br /><br />I can't wait for next week when Locke shows up at the temple. I hear we get more on Dogen, which is exciting, and it's a Sayid flashsideways. So, you know a mother-trucker is FINALLY gettin' killed by the hand of Jarrah!

Its hard to be the next episode in line after a Flocke/Locke centric episode, but it was a solid episode. <br /><br />The Lighthouse was cool and finding out that not everyone that has crashed on the island might be important (Kate #51 or Rousseau). Or at least the idea that maybe Jacob was important but finally realized that # 4,8,15,16,23,42 was the important people.<br /><br />Personally, I'm not a big Jack fan. He frustrate me because of the decisions he makes at times. However, this is a biased opinion and I'm a viewer looking at the bigger picture while Matt Fox's character is just a puzzle piece of it so I understand why he makes decisions.<br /><br />I complete agree with everything you have said and love your previous posts about LOST. I do think, though, you are being a little harsh on Claire. I might agree that she is not the best actress on the show ( or the history of television) and her ability to swing an ax is something to be desired, but I think we have just touched the surface on her and the roles she plays in the endgame. You can't just remove a character for an entire season and not have some important part in the end. I understand that you want more Christian (as do I). Subsequently, Claire is another link to this storyline. You can not tell it anymore without her.<br /><br />For example: Now, with Claire being on side of the fence and Jack being on the otherside, you've got the battle of the siblings. Could Christian's offsprings be in the fight for the island? Could Jack have to make a decision based on her? Or maybe even between Kate and Claire? I believe we'll see more Christian as well. I don't know in what form or which timeline, but he'll be there. <br /><br />Sidenote: I wouldn't be surprise if island Christian was the man in black. He knew he could convince Claire to do certain thing if he was in that form. Also, it was the first dead body on the island that meant anything to any of the castaways. How do you convince some to join your army? Transform into their father. Jack is too mentally strong to believe in something like that yet, but maybe the lighthouse was another stepping stone in him becoming a man of faith/believing his destiny. (Just random ideas) <br /><br />Darlton have laid a beautiful floor plan for this show and I think we should give the time and patience to tell it. Don't count her out yet (even if she is a bad actress)! Also, I think it was beautiful to see Flocke pop out of nowhere when Jin tells Claire that he will take her to the temple. <br /><br />Well, I'm ranting and I'm in class commenting on this when I should be paying attention. So, I hope my reply make sense. I love this blog! It always gets me thinking and look forward to hearing what else you have to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846576360662045804.post-90894298012443847952010-02-24T22:03:17.440-06:002010-02-24T22:03:17.440-06:00Oooh, I love your theory about Kate (#51)!
