Sorry for the blog coming out a day late people, but Ive been busy finishing up all my school work before Spring Break and making final preparations for my big Spring Break poker tournament. Only 8 more days til the poker tournament and hopefully everyone interested in playing gets a facebook invite by tomorrow when I send them out. Ill be writing a preview blog for this tournament since we have some interesting storylines beginning to unfold..

**Po's Spring Break poker tournament, Saturday March 6th @ 6:30pm**

Now its time to break down this week's LOST episode. Jack's flash-sideways was very interesting. I dont know what to make of the whole appendix scar that Jack saw on himself in the mirror. His mom said he had it out when he was just 7 yrs old, but im not sure if thats true...
And holy crap Jack has a son! They never showed us who the ex-wife was, but it has to still be Sara. Maybe the actor who plays Sara just wasnt available for filming because of her new role on Modern Family.
I love how Dogen just shows up out of nowhere in Jack's flash sideways as well...

As far as the on-island actions, is it just me or is Claire even hotter now that she is playing the bad girl. It just goes to show you how much she has changed, she just swings an ax and nails a guy in the chest with it. I think Claire will eventually end up figuring out what really happened to Aaron and will have a confrontation with Kate about it.

I have an interesting theory dealing with the names of the candidates on the wall. We know that Kate was the only one that Jacob touched who didnt appear on the wall as a candidate. I wonder if this is because Kate was brought to the island by Jacob to be "with" whoever the new candidate ended up being. Jacob touched Kate to make sure she got to the island, not to be a candidate, but to be at the side of the candidate and to make sure the island stays populated. Its really the only reason I can think of as to why Kate would be touched by Jacob but not on his wall of names.

Okay now its time to discuss the most important scene from this week's episode, the Lighthouse scene. Earlier in the episode Jacob told Hurley that someone was coming to the island and needed help finding their way. I think Jacob is talking about Desmond, all along I have thought that Desmond would be the one who ties everything together and maybe even ties the alternate timeline into the real timeline.
So Hurley and Jack go to the lighthouse and see the wheel of names and numbers. They show us pictures of things at each degree. The main point of this was for Jacob to show Jack that he really has been important to the island the entire time. I think after seeing that Jacob has been watching him for his entire life, it has now clicked with Jack that he plays a crucial part in how the story ends. Jack is probably even ready to die for the island now... not literally... well, maybe literally?

One quick scene that caught my eye was the scene with Hurley and Miles playing TIC TAC TOE... it always ends in a draw. Hmmm... I think this could be a clue into something that is going to happen in a future episode. I just dont think they would show this scene for no reason.

I know very soon we are going to get a Richard flashback, and if they show us the Black Rock coming to the island, I think that is going to make all hell break loose.

At the end of the episode, Smokey(Locke) walked into Claire's tent and Claire called him her "friend." Very scary.... and it looks like all of them are headed for the temple, which is going to get very interesting.

Next week's episode is called, "Sundown" and will focus on Sayid.. so maybe next week we find out if Sayid is going to get infected or not. We will find out next Tuesday at 9pm, until next time...

BASIC KNOWLEDGE and LOUDNESS.......
