Thankies Mantis, Will save me E-mailing myself as I have stuff typed up, I may pop over accross the sea tomorrow too!
Ok I have been ranting about this for a whole week and I am still all over the place, so here goes
Well I thought this was the best episode of the season so far, I have heard people say that it was an anti climax but for me it was just brilliant.
Thankfully Locke’s flashback was slightly less cringe worthy than his flashback in Orientation, but it actually left me rather upset, to see how he had finally moved on from his father, as I believe that he had, only for him to be sucked back in to Anthony Cooper’s lies and deceit once again. Though it now does look like it will be S3 at least before we find out how he ended up in that Wheelchair.
While on the topic of Anthony Cooper, I read recently somewhere, don’t ask me where and by whom that they think that he is the “real” Sawyer, well tonight’s episode all but proved it for me, what with the conversation between Locke and Anthony in the pub. Mr Cooper also gives you the impression well least I got that while watching Deus Ex Machina that he was a bit of a womaniser in his time.
At 1st I thought that the blast doors came down if the numbers weren’t entered, but after they discovered that there had been a “drop” it was obviously to keep Desmond, or whoever Dharma expects to be down the hatch in. Which goes on with the idea that the button pushers have been brainwashed to an extent that there is an illness outside.
Which makes me wonder what exactly does happen if the numbers aren’t entered? As I don’t believe for a minute that Henry put them in, I also think he had seen/heard the numbers before, as 99% of people would have asked for the numbers to be repeated especially after he knocked himself out.
Now to the map, I have been studying a copy of the map that appeared on the blast door for a week now, and I am still clueless. Ok it is pretty obvious that it is a map of the island and where all the stations are located, but there is so much writing on it. I think what is important is, that Locke won’t have had a clue what it was, and it wasn’t down long enough for him to make neither head nor tail of it. The question is that once Locke discovers that the Lockdown wasn’t due to the numbers not being entered and due to the “drop” how long is it going to be before we see the map again. Those Hatch doors are pretty strong, so I cant really see a way of them being able to get the doors down again, Less Sayid can find a way of getting into the Hatch’s electrics and if I remember right the last time he tried that him and Jack discovered the place was covered in concrete.
When Sayid, Charlie and Ana returned I really thought that Sayid had totally lost it, I was convinced he was going to say I dug up the grave and I found your story to be true, as much as I thought Henry was iffy, I did think that Sayid was desperate to find someone to blame, after losing Shannon, and somewhat accepting Ana Lucia. I was left totally gob-smacked when Sayid said that they found the real Henry Gale in that grave.
Maybe I am developing a secret hidden soft spot for Jack I don’t know, but please really he can do so much better, “the hatch can wait till morning, if you want me to walk you back to the beach” it makes me cringe just thinking about it!
Ok more tomorrow when I am more awake! But believe me next weeks is even more of a treat! But this was the type of episode I could rant about all year, even more than a Charlie episode and well I am still living in hope of a Desmond flashback!
