Okay so we have a lot to discuss after last night's episode. But first we have some news about the series finale. The series finale has been extended 30 minutes and will now air from 9-11:30pm with a 2-hr preview episode to air before it. And then Jimmy Kimmel Live immediately following the finale for a live cast party at 1130pm.
Right at the beginning we see that Jack tells Locke he is a "candidate".... for surgery. I had a feeling the title would be related like that because the last Locke episode was "the Substitute" and it literally referenced Locke being a substitute in the flash sideways.
Widmore says he has a list of the candidates and Kate is not on that list... later we find out that she is on the list but her name is crossed off. I thought the only way the names get crossed off is if they are dead. Maybe not? We do know that if your name is on the wall then MIB cannot kill you because he cannot kill the candidates (more on this later)
Jack runs into Bernard in the flash sideways and finds out that Bernard was on Oceanic 815 with him... it would be a recurring theme throughout the episode
Fake Locke tells Jack the plan to get everyone to the plane, but Jack says that he is not leaving the island... as Jack is now totally convinced that he is on the island for a reason and there is no way he is leaving EVER.
Back at the cages, Fake Locke turns back into Smokey and wipes out all of Widmore's people. Jack then lets them all out of the cages and they start to head to the Ajira plane.
We cut back to the flash sideways and see that Anthony Cooper is nothing more than a vegetable. I wonder how that happened... well Locke tells Jack that it happened because Locke was trying to be pilot and crashed the little plane that him and his dad were on. Locke blames himself for injuring his Dad and wont let him die because of the guilt.
Back on the island, we see a very ironic scene. Fake Locke kills 2 more people and takes one of the guy's watches... then takes dynamite off the plane as part of a secret master plan. He then tells the Losties that Widmore wants to get them all in a nice confined space where no one can escape and then he wants to kill them with dynamite. The irony here is that the plan is exactly how Fake Locke said, but it is in fact Fake Locke who plans to do that to the Losties and not Widmore. Hence the submarine fiasco... Jack was absolutely right when he said that they all did exactly what Fake Locke wanted them to do. He got them in a small space with no escape possibly and tried to kill them that way.However we know that Fake Locke CANT kill the candidates no matter what....
So this makes the submarine scene very interesting. Jack, knowing what he knows now, is sure that the bomb wont go off because he knows that Fake Locke cant kill them. However, Sawyer is being a hardass and wants to cut the wires... Jack asks Sawyer to trust him, but Sawyer doesnt listen because the last time Sawyer trusted Jack it led to the death of his Juliet.
So Sawyer cuts the wire (and this is the most crucial point of the entire episode), because Sawyer cut the wires it will now be Sawyer who sets the bomb off and will be Sawyer's fault if they die. Jack was absolutely right again when he said that Fake Locke was trying to get them to kill each other because as I said, Fake Locke/MIB cannot kill them. So Sawyer cuts the wire and now they are all vulnerable to death. Sayid realizes this and comes out of his 'claimed coma' and gives his life to save Jack. Before he runs away he tells Jack "you are the one"... which im pretty sure means that he is going to be THE CANDIDATE. So a bunch of chaos goes on and it results in the death of Lapidus, Sayid, Sun, and Jin. A very good ending for Jin and Sun, they finally get back together and it was all just to die in each others arms. They had a good run and truly made an impact on this show over six seasons.
I think I now know exactly what Fake Locke is trying to do. He needs all of the candidates to be dead in order for him to leave, he has been lying by saying they all had to be together to leave the island. He needs them dead, but he CANT kill them so he needs someone else to do it much like he couldnt kill Jacob. *** If no one is left to take Jacob's place, Fake Locke/MIB is finally free to leave the island. Fake Locke somehow realizes that not everyone died on the submarine and takes off to find them.
I also think Fake Locke is keeping Claire around because his backup plan is to try and get Claire to kill the candidates since he cannot.
One final quick note from the flash sideways: I have noticed that every flash sideways character has looked into a mirror at some point. It happened again last night with Jack and Claire looking together through the little mirror in the box that Claire received in the will from Christian Shep.
Tonight we also heard Sayid tell Jack that Desmond was still in the well and was alive. Sayid said that Desmond was important otherwise Fake Locke wouldnt have wanted him killed. I now think that Desmond is going to show them all that they have constant's in the other universe. I think they may all die in the season finale and move over to their other universe lives because they all have constant's over there. The only one who seems to not have anyone in their lives in the flash sideways is Kate. Kate is running from everyone and everything and has nothing to hold onto in each timeline. So could that mean that in the real timeline everyone will die move over to their true life in the flash sideways except for Kate?... which would mean Kate would be the only one who doesnt go to the flash sideways, so she would be the only one left on the island...... making her the one who is the next protector of the island???? I know her name has been crossed off but you just never know. It would explain how our two universes come together and who the next protector would be. I think the Losties are on the island in order to kill MIB/Fake Locke/Smokey and once they do that then they can leave or die- and once that happens they will have the redemption they had been seeking and can move over to their rightful lives in the flash sideways where it seems all of them are happier.
It was so good to feel intense drama and actual shocking moments again, we havent seen true madness and heart pounding moments like that all season. Its gonna keep going from there, as next week's episode is called "Across the Sea" and will focus again on the Man in Black and Jacob. This is being hyped as one of the most answer filled episodes of the entire series, so I cannot wait.
I think that the kid we have seen appearing out of nowhere in the jungle are Jacob and MIB. We saw a kid with blonde hair and a kid with black so I think they are Jacob and MIB in kid form. I have a few other questions that I want to get answered next week........
Are Jacob and MIB related?
How did they end up on the island?
How did Jacob end up as protector of the island?
What happened to make MIB the smoke monster?
What started this whole 'game' between them two?
Hopefully we get some answers to these questions, as the last time we had a MIB/Jacob episode it was the highest rated episode in the history of LOST according to the fans. "Across the Sea" airs next Tuesday @ 9pm on ABC. Until next time......
BASIC KNOWLEDGE and LOUDNESS.........
