cabin fever

Jump to Comments

my friend daniel has a theory about lost… he thinks that the reason the show is called lost is because anyone who tries to watch it is going to feel lost during the show. while i usually think, nah, daniel’s just lost because he hasn’t kept up with it, i must admit that the thought did go through my head last night while i was watching a nonchalant claire in the cabin that i thought, “hey, maybe he has a point. i’m lost.” …. but i’m getting ahead of myself. let’s start from the beginning. let’s talk about john locke.

lost has a habit of making you question whether or not you have it on the right channel at the beginning of some episodes. last night was no exception.

we see emily dancing to buddy holly (ah oh ah oh) before going out on a date with a much older anthony cooper… then she gets hit by the car (which i wonder if it’s anthony that actually hits her?) and the next scene is a hospital, where the skinny girl tells the nurse that her eggo is five months prego (thank you juno) and she has the baby. (p.s. i hope i look like that when i’m 5 months pregnant. wow.) so… long story short (too late) it’s john locke. even though he’s super premature, he makes it, but emily gets scared and runs away, and her mom decides to put him up for adoption. and, as chill bumps make their way to me, we see richard (looking the exact same age as he always has) watching this whole thing. what’s even spookier? the mom looks as though she recognizes him. i may be crazy, but the thought did go through my head, hmm… maybe he’s locke’s father? it drives me crazy that he never looks like he ages, but get this: what if richard is just using the time travel thing to his advantage? not that i am even beginning to figure out how it all works, but hey, it’s an idea.

and that brings us to time travel (again). no doubt that this theme has tons to do with lost, and since i have no idea about time travel things, it’s making it harder for me to figure things out. this is the first time that i actually noticed something going on with time travel as we are actually watching the episode: the doctor. i knew i wasn’t losing it… in the freighter time, the doctor was not dead yet. the morse code message could be heard coming from the phone, so that let us know that the island was ahead of the freighter. now it’s understandable that the lostees thought it took forever to hear from the helicopter that took desmond and sayid. hmm… my head hurts.

i only have one more thing to say about the time thing, and it might have something to do with time travel and it might not, and maybe i’m really reading into things, but here’s a question: when horace was talking to john, he said he had been dead for 12 years. this didn’t make sense to me. i thought the whole dharma purge thing had to have happened more than 16 years ago, because i can’t imagine that ben would go steal alex away from danielle while he was still in the dharma initiative and no one question it… unless he stole her, left her with one of the natives, and came back and claimed her later on? but that would make alex 4 and… i just don’t get it… it doesn’t add up. and it was strange to me that horace’s nose was bleeding like the time travelers do when the jump time… but it was a dream of locke’s, right? so does it even matter?

now i’ll just make some interesting points:

1- the island is still not done with michael, since someone else can’t even kill him. dude just can’t catch a break.

2- that “orderly” in the hospital (aka miss klu’s brother, abbadon) is the one that told him to go on the walkabout… he obviously works for widmore, and he’s connected to the island because he needed to get locke there for some reason. p.s. ever realized that the last names sometimes symbolize who the island thinks is good and bad? like goodwin, goodspeed, abbadon (for a bad one)… hmm…

3- i think that locke is the new jacob. did you realize that the first time that locke saw the outline of jacob it kinda looked like locke? then the eye in the cabin that hurley saw looked like locke. and that’s why locke hasn’t seen him since… it’s kinda hard to look for someone when.. um.. you’re him? crazy, i know. but still, it could happen.

4- we finally see that widmore and dharma really do have a connection from the whole protocol book that keamy uses to see what he’s supposed to do next. ready for my theory? i think that charles widmore was somehow involved with the dharma initiative, found out what ben did when he killed everyone, and now he wants his island back and wants to get even with ben.

5- how many times has john locke said “don’t tell me what i can’t do!” in his life? gah, it’s annoying. i’m sure it has a purpose though.

6- what is this???

7- i was bummed when the captain died. he was pretty cool.

8- now back to claire. i’m guessing this is how kate got aaron. i don’t really get how claire was acting though. i don’t think it was really her. first of all, she never liked christian shephard, and would have never called him dad. second of all, aaron was everything to her. she wouldn’t just leave him in the jungle and go off with “daddy.” i don’t know if she was drugged or that just wasn’t her, but something is obviously off. what? i dunno.

9- was it just me or did christian shephard look really old and scruffy?

until next time, stay lost. (i know i am)
