Hey, and what an ep! I'm so glad Lost is back, I've been going crazy. That was the first new ep I've seen since getting back from Hawaii and boy oh boy, did it deliver. So many cool moments, a ton of clues and a complete flip on Sun's character... She lies, she cheats, she kills! I never saw that coming.
Before I begin, make sure you go and watch this week's secret clue video and check out the analysis, as there is a ton of clues that you may have missed this week. I'm going to examine a few of them now, the rest in a later post, but some of them were so mind-boggling I won't rest until I've got my thoughts down.
The moment that stood out to me more than anything else was Ben's shocked face upon learning the Losties have a sailboat. Considering the guy spends a ton of time staring at cameras, monitoring all the action on his island, it's pretty amazing he knew nothing about the boat. More importantly, it raises the question - do the Others even know about Desmond? Considering Kelvin wouldn't let him leave the hatch for three years, filling his head with tales of "the hostiles", he could have stayed off their radar... I'm excited by what this could mean. The Others seem to know plenty about the survivors from the plane, ranging from names through to complete life-dossiers, but if they weren't aware of Desmond's means of arrival, how could they even know he was there? Providing he escaped the hatch explosion (fingers crossed) he could very well become an unknown thorn in their sides, especially now we know Penny is still searching for her long lost love...
How brilliant was Benry showing Jack the Red Sox winning? His reaction was priceless, at first being unable to stop laughing and then dropping his jaw when forced to accept. In case you don't know, the Boston Red Sox were famous for a shocking losing streak that many consider a curse - for more on them, check out their wikipedia entry. You may remember both Jack and his dad Christian using the saying ".... when the Red Sox win the series" in relation to something being impossible.The events themselves got me excited, but the dates have made me nervous - they all confirm that the island exists in our world and real-world events have an effect. Considering we believe the island to be located somewhere in the South Pacific, our Losties have a reason to be very afraid - if the dates are to be believed, they are less than a month from being struck by the deadliest tsunami in history. It may seem a little morbid to jump to that conclusion, but the entire point of showing the tv clips was to hammer home the reality of the situation. Is it such a stretch to think that destruction may soon be knocking on their door, just as it did in reality?
Unless the island is in a bubble in the middle of Antartica. Or floating in space. Or suspended on the back of a giant turtle. If you don't like my theory, get your own! Have I disappeared too far down the theory hole? Help me, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!
Hey, guess what? I'm still mad at Sun. The less we say about her at the moment, the better. At least we can add her name to the list of confirmed killers. Here's a theory that will show you how much I'm not liking her right now - did Jae Lee really commit suicide, or was he, ah, assisted to his death? Yeah, that's right, I went there. Could Sun have pushed him off to keep him quiet? Let me know what you think below... I also looked up the word Galaga and what it could mean. Here is what I came up with.
Not that helpful, really... It must be the name of the Others' boat, or even cooler, their sub... I hope they have a sub as it would explain so much. Their silence and ease getting about undetected... Maybe Goodwin used it to get from Otherville to the Tailies in such a short time, as instructed by Benry last week?
Here are a few topics to mull over, let me know what you're thinking about each and I'll share my thoughts next post: Benjamin Linus, Lifelong Resident Of Craphole Island.

As promised, I'm continuing to bring you cool behind the scenes action. Here's a pic of when I managed to get up and close and personal with our mysterious blonde Other Juliet, as played by the gorgeous Elizabeth Mitchell. 
Also, how AMAZING was last night's episode of Heroes?! Hiro came back from the future!!!!!11!!1 He spoke perfect English, had a badass sword and ponytail and - most importantly - a message for (scarless?!) Peter. Mohinder and Peter have teamed up (yay!) and are out to find more heroes. Claire woke up dead, literally pulled herself together and set out on a mission of revenge. (Not to self - never get on the bad side of an indestructible girl!) Judging by Isacc's paintings, though, it looks like she needs to be on the lookout for danger... I have to say, I LMAO when Hiro and Ando came down the escalator in matching suits, looking like they stepped straight out of Rainman.... CLASSIC! Finally, can I just say, Nikki, Nathan? Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Namaste
