Spoiler Alert...The Bacon has gone bad! Again, the bacon has gone bad!
Well,well, well...Things seem to be unraveling for our Flocke now, don't they?
All over the place, thing seem top be moving rather fast.
Island first...Flocke wants to speak to Jack alone. This points to one of my main reasons for thinking that Flocke is a bad guy...He always wants to talk to people "alone". It seems that he doesn't want anyone to have all the information.That seems like a bad thing to me.
Anyway, Jack and Flocke have a talk(BTW, I very much liked Jack asking Hurley if it was okay to talk to Locke alone);
Jack: Why John Locke ?
Flocke- "Because he was stupid enough to believe he was brought here for a reason.Because he pursued that belief until it got him killed. And because you were nice enough to bring his body back in a nice wooden box"
OUCH. Poor Locke.Okay, John Locke has to be redeemed at some point, doesn't he? Can they really just be this cruel to him?
Then we find out that the MIB was appearing as Christian in order to help Jack find water and manipulate Claire.
Tells Jack that they all have to leave together. I still would like someone to ask him a follow-up question on that.WHY do they ALL have to leave? Nobody has asked that, have they? I understand that for getting the Oceanic 6 back to the Island they had to try and recreate the original flight(though I question the logic of that a bit, and I think we need to find out about Eloise Hawking allegiances before we know that that was, in fact, true), but why do they all need to leave together?
Flocke also says that Locke was not a believer, he was a sucker. Ouch again.
Claire tells Jack that he decided he was with Flocke as soon as he let Flocke talk to him. I don't buy that, but perhaps is that why Widmore turned on the people on the beach at the end? Are they all "infected" by Flocke? But then wouldn't Widmore be as well?
Sawyer tells Hurley that Sayid has gone "to the Dark Side" and Hurley makes an Anakin Skywalker reference about bringing people back from the dark side....Hmmmm...Does this mean something?
Zoe and the Sub Bunch show up and blow up some trees to show how tough they are(GHurley's line of "People trying to kill us again" when asked what was up was priceless), and demand that Flocke return what he took from them, or they will get more of the same, but worse. Locke destroys the walkie-talkie Zoe gives him, indicating he has no intention of returning Desmond.
he then makes himself out to be the victim, saying that they are "Claiming we stole something from them."
He's a lying liar who lies!! he tells everyone that they are going to Hydra Island. He sends Sawyer to go get the boat, and Sayid to go kill Desmond.
Sawyer takes Kate with him, and tells Jack to bring Hurley, Sun and Lapidus to meet them. Jack asks about Sayid and Claire, Sawyer responds" Sayid's a zombie and Claire's NUTS." AWESOME line.
Sayid goes to kill Desmond. Desmond asks Sayid what Flocke offered him.Desmond then asks what Sayid will tell Nadia when they are reunited.
Flocke goes back to check on Sayid, Jack takes the opportunity to take his folks and go. Claire sees them and follows. Kate allows Claire onto the boat. Claire says when Flocke finds out.. "He's gonna be mad."
Flocke finds Sayid, and Sayid says he killed Desmond...What do you think ? I don't think he did it. Fro one, we didn't see it happen, and the first rule of tee vee is, if you didn't SEE it happen, you don't KNOW that it actually happened. Plus, did Sayid seem a little different when talking to Flocke? I thought he seemed a bit different...Perhaps a little more lively?
On the boat, Jack doubts what they are doing and Sawyer tells him to get off the boat if he's not with them.Jack jumps into the water.
jack and Locke are reunited on the beach.
When the Boaties get to shore, they are greeted by Zoe and the Sub Bunch. JIN AND SUN GET REUNITED!!!!!!!!!!! And Sun gets her voice back.
THEN, Zoe gets th order from Widmore to take them all into custody. And they order the air strike on Flocke----AND JACK!!! Flocke saves Jack and says.."It's alright. You're with me now." DUN-DUN!!!!
A/R-
Locke wakes up in the ambulance and says he was supposed to marry Helen Norwood,and that his first name is John. Sun is riding along on the gurney next to him, and she says-"No! No! It's him!!" Which I'm guessing is a bleed over from island world.
Sawyer thinks that he and Kate seem fated, Kate correctly guesses that Sawyer didn't arrest her at the airport because he didn't want to explain why he was at the airport. Kate once again proclaims her innocence, which she did not do in the regular reality, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think she ever said she was innocent...So could she actually be innocent in the A/R?
Sawyer and Miles go and arrest Sayid for the murders at the restaurant.
Desmond just "happens" to run into Claire as she is going to the adoption agency, and convinces her to have legal representation.He brings her to a lawyer on the (gasp) 15th floor!! That lawyer turns out to be(gasp) Ilana!! Who has been looking for Claire(gasp)!! She has been looking for Claire because she is going to be reading Christian's will.. Jack and Claire meet and find out that they are brother and sister.
Jack gets called to the hospital to operate on....JOHN LOCKE!!!
And Jin and Sun and the baby are fine!!!
Alright...What did I miss? What do you guys think? Did Sayid kill Desmond?

LOST 6.12 Everybody Loves Hugo
Spoiler Alert...Blah blah blah
Wow. Another great episode...I must admit, I'm a sap for Hugo and Libby as a couple, too.You can definitely count me among the "everybody' that loves Hugo.
And I want to take a moment to give a shout out to Jorge Garcia...He is sooo good at capturing the humor and the heartbreak of Hugo. It's nice to see him emerging as the leader of this group,too.
Okay, enough of that. we got one of the BIG ANSWERS last night...We now officially know what the Whispers are...They are the spirits of those who cannot "cross over".The only question I have there is this: Is it the Island that is keeping them there, or is it something else? I assume it's the Island, but there seems to be some room for theological debate there.Not that I care to have a theological debate about it...I'm just saying, is all.
Let's do the Island first....
The ghost of Michael appears and tells Hugo that he needs to keep a lot of people from dying.He tries to talk Richard and Ilana out of blowing up the plane.His logic, after Ilana says that if they destroy the plane, Flocke will not be able to leave the Island, that "Neither will we,and then we'll be stuck here with it, and it'll be angry at us.", was fantastic. That didn't work. Then Ilana blew up. Yikes!I gotta be honest, I figured that she would die, I just figured it would be a few episodes from now. Ilana blowing up did not convince Richard. Jack's line that "maybe Ilana blew up to tell us to stop messing with the dynamite" was classic.
Hugo then acquiesces to Richard and they all go to the Black Rock, which Hugo blows up because he is protecting everyone.
He then claims that Jacob told them that they need to go talk to Locke.Richard doesn't believe him, and Richard, Ben and Miles go to the Dharmaville to get grenades. Jack, Sun,and Lapidus follow Hugo to go see Flocke.
I also really liked Jack's admission about not ever being able to fix it.I thought that was well played. I ahve always liked jack, but if any of you folks are among the Jack haters, did this make him any mor palatable to you?
Flocke, in the meantime, walks Desmond out to a well, and after waxing philosophic about Widmore's intentions, pushes Desmond into the well. A move, by the way, that Jen saw as soon as she saw the well. I could not tell if Flocke now knows of Widmore's plan because of what Desmond said or not.Of course, we don't necessarily know what Widmore's plan is either, I'm just assuming he wants to capture Flocke.Because, while I do believe that Widmore just wants power, I also think he wants to keep Flocke on the Island.
And obviously, Flocke pushing Desmond into the well implies that Desmond is some sort of threat to Flocke, for sure. I also wonder if that move(or any other violence towards Desmond) could be where Flocke's followers start to really question his motives.
I also found the smile on the ghost kid after Flocke gets all flustered and yells for Desmond to "IGNORE HIM!!!" was pretty interesting. The Ghost Kid is getting under his skin. Could he be part of the reason that Flocke is confined to the Island in the first place? Hmmm.....
Hugo,Jack, Sun and Lapidus go to see Flocke and Flockees. They all agree to a truce, for the moment anyway. Flocke gives Hugo his "word".
My only fear in this is that these are the exact people that Flocke needed. I fear he may be manipulating all this somehow.
One other great, small moment was Sun's face when she sees that Jin is not there...Such resignation, it was so sad.
In the A/R. We see Dr. Pierre Chang/Dr. Marvin Candle give a speech about Hugo's great philanthropy and give him an award, and then we see Hugos' mom cut him back down to size.But she sets up Hugo on a blind date, and who speaks to him at the restaurant? LIBBY!!! I loves me some Libby, and it was nice to see her again.
She then asks Hugo if he believes that two people can be meant to be together.Then she says"You don't remember me, do you?" I actually gasped, when she said it. then she goes on to tell him about the plane crash and their attraction to each other. The Dr. Brooks comes over and gets her, and loads her back into the van to go back to the mental institution where Hugo and she had both been in the pre-Island world.
Desmond "happens" to run into Hugo and asks him if he believed Libby, and Hugo said yes.Hugo decides to go and see Libby at the hospital, and then bribes his way into see her.
She tells him some more about her deja vu esque type feelings, and he asks her out. they go to have a picnic on the beach, Libby once again tells Hugo that he is "doing fine". they kiss, and Hugo begins to remember the Island. we see Desmond drive away, clearly imlpying that he is manipulating a lot of this action.
Then, we see Desmond sitting outside the school where Ben and Locke work. he tells ben taht he's scouting the school for his son, Charlie. Hmmmmm.... the n he proceeds to run Locke over with his car. Maybe the best LOST ending ever. Just batshit crazy!!
After last night's episode, my wife and I were talking about how we think that maybe when Widmore tested the electromagnetic pulse thing on Desmond, he teleported Desmond's Island "conciousness" to his Alternate Reality body, and vice versa, and that is why the A/R Desmond is now slowly unweaving the alternate reality by "showing" people the cracks in it, and why the Island Desmond is so willing to go with the flow, he knows what the A/R Desmond is doing(even if we don't fully know). Did Widmore know that this would happen?
Okay, that's what I got. What did I miss? What did y'all think?

LOST 6.11:"Happily Ever After"
Spoiler Alert.......Blah....Blah....Blah....Blah.....Blah....blah.......
Wow, I think maybe I'm just too dumb for LOST.Last night's episode is the first one in awhile that I feel i need to watch again to figure out exactly what I was supposed to get from it. I kinda feel like the show itself right now, part of me thinks he knows what was revealed last night, and then my alternate reality doesn't quite get it...Or maybe it's vice versa. I don't know...Or do I? No, I definitely don't...Or do I? Nope, still pretty sure I don't.
Now, don't get me wrong, I loved last night's episode(even though Charlie was in it), I'm just not sure that I fully grasp what Desmond seemed to grasp.
But let's see....Based on Daniel WIDMORE'S statements to Desmond, when Jughead was set off on the Island, this reality(what we see as the "alternate" or sideways reality) was created.And according to Daniel, it "shouldn't be".
And now, some people are having these "visions" of what went on in the other reality...Charlie saw a vision of Claire(I'm guesssing), Daniel felt like he already knew Charlotte, and Desmond saw the freakiest thing of all, he saw Charlie's death and Charlie's warning about the folks on the freighter. Presumably, the other Losties have had these same moments, they just are not sure what they are yet.
Mrs. Widmore(Eloise) seemed all too aware of all of this, and doesn't seem to want this reality disturbed(presumably because Daniel is still alive?), or does she just want to keep Desmond away from Penny?
Now, on the Island, we learn that Desmond is there because he survived a "catastrophic electromagnetic event", and Widmore needs him to do that again(or two more times, if you include the test from last night). I'm guessing that Desmond is going to be called upon to lure and trap the MIB inside that chamber, and that will either be the way to re trap the MIB or destroy him.
I'm not sure I understand why he was so willing to follow Sayid, though. He seemed almost like he was in a trance, didn't he? I'm note sure I get why that is. Is he just completely surrendering to fate? whatever happens, happens? I'll be curious to see if Locke has a use for him, or if he just wants to keep him away from Widmore, or have him killed.
I don't know about you, but i was pretty freaked out(in a GREAT way) when Desmond saw NOT PENNYS BOAT on Charlie's hand. I think I might have gasped. VERY cool.
Loved seeing Eloise and Daniel again.
Loved some of the phrasing, Eloise saying"It's about TIME".
Desmond asking Charlie: "Is none of this real?"
"Always a choice, brother"
the MRI guy giving Desomd "The BUTTON". Ha!!
Widmore sharing the good Scotch with Desmond.
The other line I thought was potentially very revealing was Mrs. Widmore saying(and I'm paraphrasing, my note taking was off it's game last night) to Desomnd in the A/R:" You finally attained what you always wanted, my husband's approval." isd that a glimpse into what the A/R reality is providing our "heroes" with?
I think that's all I got...What did I miss ? What did you guys think?
