LOST 6x14: Ocean of tears









The LOSTies try to fly the friendly skies, but instead swim the angry seas. Bernard accuses Jack of making a move on Rose. Sayid makes one hell of a bang as he sacrifices himself. Sun and Jin were apparently on the Titanic. And…well…no snark. This was a sad one.

Lost 6x14: The Candidate

In choking back the tears over Sun and Jin’s sad passing, it was easy to overlook that we also lost Sayid and Lapidus in this episode. But seriously, we spend TWO YEARS of TV time waiting for Sun and Jin to be reunited for them to be together for, what, 12 minutes? LOST writers, you sank lower than the depths of the sub now laying on the ocean floor.

Rough one for you too? Let me know what you thought below in comments...


2004, Los Angeles:
Close up on John Locke in the hospital bed, post-Desmond hit & run, and Jack tells him that he is a candidate (!) for a new procedure to repair the spinal injury and perhaps allow him to walk again, but he refuses. Helen bursts into the room and thanks Jack for saving John.


In his medical office, Dr. Nadler – Bernard – is working on some sort of dental cast when Jack enters and asks to see John Locke’s file. (Bernard had apparently performed emergency oral surgery on him.) Asking why he needs it, Jack starts to explain how he and Locke met, and Bernard spurts out, “Oceanic 815…I sat across the aisle from you. If memory serves, you were flirting with my wife, Rose, while I was in the bathroom.” Jack looks more than a little confused at the coincidence.


Bernard tells him that he can’t share Locke’s records, but he remembered the name of another man in the accident, and hands Jack a slip of paper with Anthony Cooper’s name.


At a nursing home, Jack’s asking about Anthony Cooper when Helen shows up with flowers for him. Helen asks him to leave, but he insists. Sideways Cooper is catatonic in a wheelchair.

Back at his bedside, Locke’s mumbling in his sleep, “Push the button…I wish you had believed me.”

Unnecessary nerd alert: “Push the button” – reference to his on-island Swan Station button pushing. “I wish you had believed me” – a callback to the suicide note he left for Jack when he tried to kill himself.


Claire shows up at the hospital looking for Jack, and they go to a waiting room. Jack gets a candy bar from the machine. She shows him the box that Christian left her asking what it’s supposed to mean, but neither of them have a clue. She asks how he died, and Jack explains he was flying home from Sydney with his coffin, and they realize they were on the same flight. Jack looks at the box, a music box, but neither of them has any idea what the significance is.


Nerd alert: the selection Jack made was #E4, an Apollo Bar.

Question: Was it just me or did the machine make a noise that sounded not unlike either the Smoke Monster or even the hatch button re-setting.

Nerd alert: The box was a music box that played “Catch a Falling Star”, the song that Christian used to sing to her and that she – and Kate – used to sing to Aaron as a bedtime song.

Awaiting Helen to pick him up, Jack tries to convince Locke one last time to consider the surgery. Locke tells him that he’d gotten his pilot’s license and was in an accident with his father as the passenger on board, leaving him unable to walk or talk. Locke’s been punishing himself for the accident in this timeline. Locke’s mind is unchanged. Jack says to him, “I wish you’d believed me”, using Locke’s mumbling – and the suicide note message from the main timeline – to try to convince him. Locke wheels himself out of the hospital.


2007, The island:
Jack awakes in a boat on the shore at Hydra Island. Sayid is keeping watch. UnLocke tells Jack and Sayid that they’re going to have to rescue the other Losties and then make it onto the plane to escape the island. Jack reminds UnLocke that he doesn’t intend to leave the island. He asks for Jack’s help in convincing them to leave with them, but Jack’s not sure he can be trusted. UnLocke reminds Jack that he could kill them any time, but he’s saved his life and wants to save the others.


Widmore’s henchmen are throwing Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Hurley, Lapidus and Kate into the polar bear cages when Saywer grabs a rifle and tries to get free, but Widmore points a gun at Kate. Widmore tells them he's putting them in the cage for their own good. Sawyer challenges him, saying he needs her, but Widmore confirms what that Kate’s name was not on the list.

In the polar bear cage, Kate is annoyed and tells Sawyer that Widmore wouldn’t have killed her. But Sawyer tells her she was on the cave wall, but her name was scratched out, meaning he was done with her. Kate gets knocked down a peg or two.


Jin and Sun are speaking to each other – in English (why?) – and he tells her that he saw pictures of Ji Yeon, and she gives him his ring that she’s been carrying. Just as they’re about to get snuggly, the power goes out on the sonic fence and Smokey arrives, wreaking vengeance against the henchmen. They try to free themselves from the cage, just as Jack shows up and they all run after Jack explains, “I’m with him.”

In the jungle, Jack tells Kate he’s not leaving the island with them because he’s not meant to go. Sayid arrives and they rush to UnLocke.


The fate of the henchmen guarding the Ajira jet is no better than those by the cages. UnLocke snaps one of their necks and shoots the other. He steals the watch off the one who’s been shot and boards the plane, only to find it rigged with explosives.

The UnLocke flock arrives at the plane and he walks off the plane explaining that Widmore wanted them all to get on the plane so they would die. Assuming there might be other explosives on the plane, UnLocke says that they need to take the sub. Hurley reminds the flock that Alpert said UnLocke can’t leave the island, but Sawyer says they’re going. Sawyer apologizes for not trusting UnLocke, and Jack offers his help, but says he won’t be leaving the island. Sawyer pulls Jack aside and tells him that they’re getting off the island without UnLocke and to push him into the water when they get to the dock.

The dock appears to be unguarded, and a handful of them run ahead to the sub. Sawyer and Lapidus climb into the sub and surprise the captain at gunpoint. The remaining bunch head to the sub, and UnLocke hands Jack his backpack. They make it onto the dock and UnLocke is trying to convince Jack to go, but he pushes UnLocke off the dock and into the water. They get fired upon, and Kate is hit. The rest climb into the sub, but Claire and UnLocke are still outside. Saywer climbs up and tries to get Claire into the sub, but he has to close the hatch when UnLocke makes a run toward the sub. Claire looks despondent, but UnLocke is perfectly content.


Looking for a first aid kit, Hurley hands Jack his backpack. UnLocke put the bomb in it. (Did anyone not see this coming when UnLocke handed him the backpack?)

Nerd alert: The watch used as the timer was the one UnLocke stole off the dead man.

With less than 4 minutes left, the only way to get the bomb off is to get to the surface. Lapidus tells the captain to take them up. As they try to figure out what to do to diffuse the bomb, Jack tells them that nothing will happen and that UnLocke can’t kill them, and that UnLocke wanted them to leave without him. Sawyer doesn’t buy it and pulls the wires out of the bomb, which unfortunately only speeds up the timer.

Sayid tells Jack where to find Desmond. Jack asks why he’s telling him this, and Sayid replies, “Because it’s going to be you, Jack.” Sayid grabs the bomb and runs ahead into another compartment of the sub, where the bomb goes off.


RIP Sayid. :(


Still in with the captain, the hatch door blows off, and knocks Lapidus down.

RIP Lapidus. :( (we assume)

The sub is filling with water, and Sun is pinned behind a cabinet. Jack tells Hurley to take the injured Kate and swim to the surface. He gives them a rescue canister of oxygen. Jack and Jin shift the cabinet, but Sun is still trapped behind some metal. Jin tells him to take Saywer up, and he stays to try to free Sun. Jack and Sawyer swim up.


Sun demands that Jin leave, but he refuses to go. (Shouldn’t one of them have gone for the sake of Ji Yeon?!) Finally speaking in Korean, Jin tells her “I will never leave you again.” And in a Titanic-worthy scene, we see their clasped, submerged hands separate, and Kleenex stock goes through the roof.


RIP Jin-Soo Kwon. :(

RIP Sun-Hwa Kwon. :(




Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley make it to the island. Jack tells them that Jin and Sun didn’t make it and Kate and Hurley bawl like the rest of us watching at home.

UnLocke tells Claire that the sub sank. She asks if they’re all dead, and he says no, grabs a rifle and heads off to finish what he started.


I know my wife cried herself to bed. What about you? Drop the comment love below.

LOST: The Last Recruit - Take a leap of faith










Sun and Jin are finally reunited, and it feels so good. Zoe makes an explosive entrance. Jack doesn’t know how to dive. UnLocke has a dressing up as dead people fetish. Claire starts hanging with the popular kids. Sawyer tells Jack to walk the plank. The 815ers fill up a few more hospital beds. And who the hell’s Anakin?

Lost 6x13: The Last Recruit

This episode moved very quickly and I think they crammed a lot into it: new answers, explosions, reunions, allegiances, and captivity. Rather than the methodical pace of LOST, this felt more like a bit of a sprint to the end. Definitely seems the theory that the sidewayers are all assembling – by choice or otherwise – at the hospital is coming to be. So where to they go from here?

Thoughts? Comments? Leave them below.


2007, On the island:
“Hello Jack. I was hoping you’d come. I think we have some catching up to do.” UnLocke is so…rational and almost polite. It’s hard to fathom that he’s this pure evil everyone’s been warned about. Jack asks why Smokey chose Locke, and he answers, “because he was stupid enough to believe that he’d been brought here for a reason, because he pursued that belief until it got him killed, and because you were kind enough to bring his body back here in a nice wooden box.” UnLocke owns up to taking the appearance of Christian, but claims everything he’d done was to help him get off the island.

Question: So Smokey was every apparition? Harper the therapist? Dave? Kate's horse? Yemi, Eko's brother? Tall Walt?

Explaining that they all need to leave together, UnLocke becomes frustrated when Jack questions this, stating that Locke believed in the island. But UnLocke dismisses the former ‘renter’ in the body he now occupies as a sucker.

UnLocke hears someone in the jungle and calls out for the hiding Claire. She says Jack’s her brother, and UnLocke leaves them to talk. She asks if he fessed up about posing as Christian, and says she gave up hope he’d ever come back, but says she’s happy to see him again. Claire tells him that the moment he talked to UnLocke, he was with him, like it or not.

Nerd alert: Claire touched Jack when they were talking. Is this another moment of touching having some significance, as with UnLocke’s hand grabbing?

Sawyer is explaining the plan to take Widmore’s sub off the island to Hurley, including why he’s not including Sayid in the plan. Hurley reminds him that people can be brought back from the dark side…like Anakin. UnLocke returns to camp, announcing, “It’s so nice to have everybody together again.”


Nerd alert: When Jack and UnLocke walk into the jungle to catch up, it’s pitch black out. When they return, it’s bright and sunny.

Confiding in Jack, Kate says about Sayid, “he’s different now.” Jack’s thoughtful reply, “I guess we’re all different now.” (Did that feel a little earnest, like from some high school performance of “Our Town”?) Zoe comes charging into the UnLocke Flock camp asking to see the man in charge. She demands what he’s stolen from them – Desmond – back. She radios to her people and suddenly a missle flies in and explodes just a few yards from them. She hands UnLocke a walkie talkie and tells him to call when he’s ready for them to pick Desmond up. UnLocke uses his wooden staff to smash the walkie.


Nerd alert: We’ve learned that Smokey is afraid of technology in the past, going back to our first encounter with him in what we thought was Jacob’s cabin. (Can we assume Jacob has a similar distrust of technology?)

Jacob’s prepping the team for the journey, and asks Sawyer to use the sailboat to get to the Hydra Island. Sawyer asks Kate to come along. UnLocke pulls Sayid aside to talk, and Sawyer does the same with Jack, filling him in on the plot to steal the sub. He says that they are not taking Sayid or Claire, because he’s a zombie and she’s gone crazy. UnLocke tells Sayid that he has to kill Desmond if he wants to see Nadia again.

At the well, Desmond knows Sayid is there to kill him and asks him what he offered him to kill him. Desmond asks where Nadia is now, and asks how he knows UnLocke can bring her back. He answers that UnLocke brought him back. But Desmond questions what Sayid will tell her when she asks what Sayid did to be with her again. And under that zombie exterior, beat human heart as (we assume) he didn’t kill Desmond.


On the beach, Sawyer reveals his plan to Kate and the deal he cut with Widmore, and Kate is furious that Claire isn’t part of the plan. But Sawyer explains Claire’s too far gone. The two of them swim out to the sailboat.

Jack asks Claire why she’s with UnLocke, and her reply is that he was the only one who didn’t abandon her. UnLocke falls back, and Jack, Hurley, Sun and Lapidus make for the dock in a map Sawyer gave him.

Running into Sayid in the jungle, UnLocke asks if Desmond is dead. Sayid tells him to go and check. (Really, if it’s that important that he’s dead, shouldn’t UnLocke have gone all Smokey to go see for himself?) They walk off to get to the plane.

Jack’s team arrive at the dock where Sawyer and Kate are now docked. Claire shows up almost immediately behind them and Kate tires to talk her down off the ledge by offering her a slot on the plane so she can rescue and raise Aaron. Kate apologizes and convinces Claire to come along with them.

On the sailboat, Sawyer goes to Jack to talk with him in private, but Jack explains that it doesn’t feel right to leave the island. He believes that they were brought there to do something special, and Sawyer demands he either come around or get off the boat. Jack does a dainty little jump into the waves below to swim back to the main island and UnLocke. Kate tells Sawyer that they have to go back to get him. He replies, “We’re done going back, Kate.”


Jack swims up onto the beach by the still-patient UnLocke. And Sawyer’s crew swim up onto the beach at the Hydra Island and are met with a welcome party of guns. Zoe recognizes Sawyer and radios to Widmore. And just then – finally – Jin walks onto the beach, and he and Sun are reunited. Sun can suddenly speak English again, and for some strange reason, they have a full conversation in English instead of Korean.


Widmore gives Zoe the order to capture all of them, and Zoe orders the first missile, which explodes on the beach, sending Jack flying and causing him to lose his hearing. UnLocke picks him up on his shoulders and carries Jack to safety, saying, “It’s going to be alright. You’re with me now.”

Question: Is it possible Jack died and was touched by UnLocke, therefore infecting him?





2004, Los Angeles:
In an ambulance on the way to the hospital, Ben is riding along with Locke. Ben reassures him. As the gurney is being wheeled into the hospital, Sun’s gurney is being wheeled alongside his, and she wigs out at seeing John.

Question: The island has bled further into the sideways reality here, with Sun acknowledging that Locke (or rather UnLocke) is someone she should fear.


Det. James Ford offers Kate an apple and reads the list of charges, but Kate denies she did wrong. He asks if she thinks it’s weird that they were on the same flight and she ran into his car. She speculates though that he didn’t arrest her because he didn’t want anyone to know he was in Australia.
Question: Is the apple a reference to Eve’s apple?


Miles comes in with a new case – the Keamy crew murdered at the restaurant and Sun shot. Miles has the ATM surveillance tape which shows Sayid as the shooter.


Claire arrives in the lobby of an office building to meet with the Western Pacific Adoption Agency. Desmond arrives at the same moment to see a lawyer and recognizes her from baggage claim. (What a coincidence! They’re both on the 15th floor.) He coerces her to see his lawyer to discuss the adoption. Ilana walks out of her office and is shocked to see Claire in her lobby. Ilana tells Claire that they’ve been looking for her.

Nerd alert: Law firm is Sweetzer & Verdansky. And we now know Ilana’s last name is Verdansky. The coffee shop Penny told Desmond they'd meet on was on Sweetzer & Melrose, but I'm not seeing a connection. And while there's not a Verdansky connection I've found, there is a Vladimir Vernadsky who was "a Russian and Soviet mineralogist and geochemist who is considered one of the founders of geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and of radiogeology. His ideas of noosphere were an important contribution to Russian cosmism." Or that could just be another coincidence.


Question: Desmond was there exclusively to drive her into Ilana’s hands, right? He's like Mrs. Hawking now, trying to steer people toward their destiny, it seems, even if by force.

At Nadia’s house, Sayid bursts in to pack and flee. Miles rings the bell and Sayid runs out the back, but he’s apparently no match for a garden hose and Ford, who trips and then cuffs him.

Question: They i.d.’d Sayid from an ATM photo and found him that quickly? Really?


At the same office building, Jack and his son David arrive, and suddenly, David is overly concerned for his father’s happiness. (Did it seem to anyone else like too quick a transformation in their relationship?) Ilana escorts them into a conference room where Claire is sitting and waiting. She explains to Jack that Christian was her father too, and Jack gets an emergency call from the hospital to come operate on Locke’s spine.

Sun wakes up, and Jin tells her that despite the gunshot wound to her abdomen, that the baby is fine. Jack and David are passing Sun’s room on their way to the procedure that he has to perform – surgery on John Locke. Jack looks at the x-rays of John Locke and realizes it’s his Dural sac that’s been “obliterated”. He realizes that it’s John Locke on the operationg table.

Nerd alert: The injury Jack inflicted on his future wife, Sarah, when she was in for surgery was to her dural sac.

Nerd alert: Jack has another mirror moment in this episode, staring at the mirror under John Locke's face.


Drop some comments below. Next week's ep is a repeat, by the way. (Kind of looking forward to a break, actually...)

LOST 6x10: I got yer Package right here!






Jin throws a Jacob-style rave in Room 23. Widmore’s plays tough guy to UnLocke…behind a sonic death fence. Zoe keeps talking and I keep wishing she wouldn’t. Keamy ties Jin to a chair with duct tape and kindness. Sun knocks herself out and wakes up with an English deficiency. At least we don’t have to hear her ask “Have you seen my husband?” over and over again. Does anyone know what time V is on, by the way?

Lost 6x10: The Package

It would have been nearly impossible for the writers and producers to follow Ab Aeterno with as satisfying an episode, but with more and more answers being given to us now, I enjoyed The Package. Some interesting merging of the two timelines is happening now…perhaps setting up the full merge down the road.

So what did you think? Your comment below is all I can ask of you.

2007, On the island –


The UnLocke flock is being watched with night-vision, as he confides in Jin that he needs all the names on the cave wall to leave the island together. Sayid tells UnLocke that he doesn’t feel anything – anger, happiness, pain. UnLocke says that will help him get through what’s coming. Jin tells Sawyer that he’s leaving to find Sun, when he and the entire flock are shot with tranq darts by Team Widmore.

On the beach, Ilana tells Ben that they’re waiting until Richard returns and that Hurley will find him and bring him back. Sun retreats to her tomato plants back from season one. Jack follows her and tells her about Jacob’s lighthouse, but Sun doesn’t want to hear about purpose or destiny.

UnLocke surprises Sun as she’s digging up her tomato plants and he tells her that Jin is with his people and can take her to him. He asks for her hand to take her there and says that he would never make her do anything against her will. (Free will vs. fate, and just as Jacob tried to convince Hurley to come to the island, by making him believe it was free will.


Question: Was this so he could undo the touch that Jacob gave Sun at her wedding?

Jin runs, and UnLocke chases after her, when she runs into a tree with her head. Ben finds her unconscious in the jungle and she’s only speaking Korean.

Back UnLocke’s camp, he wakes Sayid and finds out that they were attacked and that Jin was taken.



Jin wakes up in my favorite spot on Lost, Room 23. He flips the switch, and gets the Carl/God Loves You As He Loved Jacob party started. Freaked out from its trippiness, he flips off the switch, and finds Zoe in the room. He tries to leave, and she tasers him. She pulls out a map of electromagnetic pockets on the island and starts to ask him about it because his signature was on the map.

Question: Was this one of Jin’s maps from the 1970s when he was surveying the island sector by sector looking for the Losties? And if so, how did Zoe get it? Could she be related to another scientist we know - Radzinsky? Both scientists…both wear thick-rimmed glasses…both super annoying.

UnLocke tells Sayid to grab his Speedo and prep for a swim. Clousseau asks if she was on the list, but UnLocke assures her that she will be on the plane with him when they leave the island. She asks if Kate was on the cave wall, and he says “not anymore”, though he does need her to help get the 3 others onto the plane. “But once she does, whatever happens…happens.”

Seeing Sayid and UnLocke prepping, Sawyer chides UnLocke, asking why he can’t just float over the water, but he says it doesn’t work like that, and he’s going to get Jin back.

Jack is examining Sun, who can only speak Korean following her injury. Jack says that it could be aphasia, a disorder that affects the language center of the brain, but it’s usually temporary.

Question:
Did UnLocke touch Sun when she was knocked out, somehow causing this aphasia? Or is it something more serious? (Keep reading for the mirror theory).

Richard and Hurley return to the beach camp and tell them to pack to leave.


On Hydra Island, UnLocke is walking along the beach, with the pylons lined up along the shore. Widmore walks out of the jungle and, from the other side of the sonic fence. Asking if Widmore knows who he is, he replies that what he knows is a combination of “myths, ghost stories and jungle noises in the night.” UnLocke says he wants Jin back, but Widmore plays dumb, so UnLocke uses Widmore’s conversation with Locke about a war coming to the island against him and declares war. At least we now can say that Widmore is on Team Jacob. (Or maybe this has been clear all along to everyone except me…)

Richard says that they need to get to Hydra Island to use the plane to get off the island. Sun fully understands English, and says - in Korean - there’s no way that she’s leaving Jin there.

Annoyed that Zoe took Jin captive, she said it’s his fault since he put a geophysicist in charge. Widmore says “what’s done is done” and tells her to take “the package” from the sub to the infirmary. Widmore hands Jin a digital camera with pictures of Ji Yeon. He looks through the pics and chokes back the tears. Widmore tries to relate to Jin, saying that they both have daughters.

Question: Did it appear that there was someone Photoshopped out of each of the images? (Thanks, Phil, for noticing this.)







Widmore tells Jin that it’s time for him to see “the package” and orders Zoe to get it from the sub.

Offering Jack a notepad to write in English, Sun is able to communicate with him. He pulls a single tomato out of his bag and says that it was “one stubborn tomato”, and that “no one told it it was supposed to die.”

Question: Is this a reference to Sun's tenacity in the face of adversity on the island?

She tells Jack that UnLocke visited her, but she trusts Jack. He promises to find Jin with her and get them both away from the island. Then he reaches out his hand to her.

Question: Has Jack already taken Jacob’s place? The close-up on his hand led me to believe there was more than a “shake on it” implied here – that we’re supposed to make a connection between him and Jacob.

Sawyer says that Kate “looks like [her] brain took a little stroll.” UnLocke arrives back at the camp, and says he wants to know what Widmore has on the sub behind the locked door.


Just off from the dock, Sayid emerges Rambo-style and he swims to the dock. Zoe and the kid from Kate & Ally pull “the package” out of the sub, and Sayid is at the dock when they pull out (no surprise) Desmond.

Nerd alert: Nice use of “the package” in the episode. Desmond was “the package”, Jin was bringing Keamy a package and he himself was “the package” in the flash sideways.


2004, Flash sideways, Los Angeles –

Jin is released from customs at LAX and the money he was given by Mr. Paik was confiscated. They check into the hotel and Jin clarifies that there are two rooms because they aren’t married.

Jin knocks on Sun’s door and she tells him to come in, even though he wants to deliver the watch to Paik’s associate at the restaurant. Despite not being married, they’ve been knocking boots, and they proceed to do so again. Afterwards, Sun tries to convince Jin that they should run away together, and she tells him that she has a bank account that she’s kept hidden from her father. There’s a knock at the door. Jin hides in the bathroom and Sun goes to the door. As she does, she pauses to look in the mirror and has some sort of recognition of something different.

Nerd alert: Mirrors – My brother’s fostering this one like some abandoned baby animal on the side of the road he’s trying to nurture back to life, but in each of the flashes sideways, we’ve seen the characters, well, at least all the candidates, have a momentary pause when looking at a reflection: Sun in the hotel room; Kate in the auto repair shop when looking through Claire’s bag; Jack in the mirror in the plane when his neck was cut; Sayid in the glass in the door to his brother’s house; Sawyer in the locker room punching the mirror. So is it merely recognition of something off in the mirror, or are we seeing the two timelines begin to merge. Sun hits her head on the island, looks in the mirror with a glimpse of something, and then wakes up on the island speaking only Korean, as she did in the sideways flash. Are the realities merging? Is the merging of the realities now going to drive the rest of the series?


It’s Keamy at the door. She gives him the watch, but then asks for the other package with the $25K. Omar comes in, and they realize that Jin is in the room. They get him out and Jin and Sun are debating what to do in Korean. Keamy, who up until now has almost been a little charming, says “Stop it, I feel like I’m in a damn Godzilla movie.” He sends his friend for Mikhail – Patchy! – who in this reality is blessed with both eyes. Keamy tells Mikhail to take Sun to the bank to get the money out of her account. They ask for him to keep their relationship safe with Paik.

The bank account was closed and the money transferred out to one of his accounts – by her father. (Foiled again!)

Keamy’s man is putting Jin into the refrigerator at his restaurant, and Keamy is taking care of Jin, while simultaneously tying him up. He tells Jin that he was supposed to kill Jin for sleeping with Paik’s daughter. Jin, not understanding the conversation about him being in very serious danger, thanks Keamy.

Question: Why was Keamy so nice to someone he was just going to kill? What were his motives and did he somehow know there was something special about the situation. Not only did Sun look at herself oddly in the mirror, but when she opened the door, he looked oddly at her, like he might have recognized her.

Nerd alert: Did Keamy say “in case you’re about to figure out what about to happen to the island” to Jin?!? Check out this clip at about :30 seconds. Further evidence that these timelines are melding?

Hearing the hubbub outside, Jin bangs on the door, and Sayid opens the door. Realizing Jin was similarly brought there against his will, he hands him a knife to cut his way out of the binds. Mikhail sees Keamy and the others on the floor of the kitchen. And somehow Keamy was alive. There’s a standoff between him and Mkihail, Keamy is killed, as is Mikhail. (Shot to the eye!)


In the crossfire was Sun, who tells Kin that she’s pregnant, as her hands are covered in blood.





So, did The Package deliver, or would you rather return to sender?
