Got your wish . . .

Yessss!

My own personal LOST blog.
So, he couldn't shut the door from the other side?

I can't find any fault with that episode.
Am I dumb, or were we supposed to assume Jack's backstory was all flashback until Kate appeared?

Looks like Kate's appearance is in the "present". The other flashbacks and time on island are in the "past".

---

-Bill

time space continum was mentioned tonight. Is the future written in stone. Does the version of the present that we saw at the end have to be the future?

Who is the "he" that Kate must get back to?

Seems screwed up to me. How long are we going to have to wait for this to end? Two seasons? I'm impatient.

That last scene where Jack and Kate are in the "present" puts to rest any notion that the Lost cast is in purgatory and/or they are all ghosts. Yes the writers had already confirmed it in an interview. But now it's concretely confirmed in the series. NICE

We're breathing normally now. Just got through watching it on DVR. What an episode!
Surely Charlie's not dead, if he is I'm going to be ticked?

I would think everyone comes back from the dead after tonight . . .

Who was it that died that upset Jack so?
Why didn't Charlie swim out the busted window?

I just realized-- when beardedJack took out his cell phone I thought "that thing looks razor thin and cutting edge-- isn't this supposed to be years ago? Screw-up" but it turns out it was current/future.
So did I miss something and was it somehow obvious to the viewer that bearded Jack was post-Island? Or were we supposed to assume it was a flashback until Kate appeared?

Dead person-- someone from the island, obviously?

Busted window-- um, too small? Or he thought he had to drown or noone would be rescued, per Desmond's flash?

WHOOOOOOOOOOOA! I just got done watching. The Dharma VW Bus makes it's triumphant return!

Highlights for me:
Hurley goes road rage
Ben gets his bug eyes punched in
Realizing that Jack and Kate scene is the present
The return of Locke

Lowlights:
Sure, make the Asian guy the one who missed the shot
Charlie dying
Walt


The BIG BIG BIG question in my mind, Jack says, "GET MY FATHER UP HERE, IF I AM DRUNKER THAN HE IS THAN YOU CAN FIRE ME". Does this mean Jack's father is alive or did I hear that wrong?

Great episode! I hope they make the "answer" hour available online because I didn't TiVo it.

I really wish they hadn't listed Malcolm David Kelly's name in the opening credits. It would have been cool if Walt had just appeared!

Among other things, I am trying to figure out how the title of the episode (Through the Looking Glass) figures in. We have seen white rabbits, which were part of Alice in Wonderland and there definitely seems to be some sort of live action chess match going on between Ben, Jack and Locke.

h', I'm with you. I thought it was a flashback until Kate appeared.

pRON, I thought the same thing about Jack's dad. When he said that line it didn't seem strange because I thought I was watching a flashback, not a flashforward.

I wonder if they'll start the next season with them in current time and wrap up the island mysteries/rescue in flashback form. If Jack is any indication, "salvation" wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Other random thoughts:
Where was Penny when she was talking with Charlie
What did Naomi mean when she said Charlie was "saved". Does she know/think he is dead? Was she lying or does she really think that signal meant something good?
Was Walt really there or was that another island ghost?

I need to go back and rewatch a couple scenes-

Obscure actor's name, but a spoiler. Bigger issue: He looks 3 or 4 years older even though the narrative has only advanced about 3 or 4 months. Get used to it.

It was good seeing Walt. We all know he's aged in real life.

Nice episode. Charlie going blabbermouth was interesting.

VERY good episode. Here are a few notes:

Another "through the looking glass" thought: Were Jack's pills making him smaller or larger?

So when we cut away from Locke and Walt, presumably the "work" that Locke needed to do was throw a knife into a hot chick's back.

I think the person who died was Hurley, and the "he" that Kate needed to get back to was Sawyer.

I screamed, "put one through his head, to ensure he is dead" when patchey was harpooned, but Desmond either did not hear me or didn't want to.

Sawyer killing Mr. Friendly was my favorite part of the episode. Jack NOT killing Ben was my least favorite part.

When Starbuck showed up in the viper, why wasn't Apollo more surprised? Was it just a dream? Oh wait, wrong show...

What did Jack say before he almost jumped off the bridge? I didn't catch it, but think it was important.

Ooops! I forgot that Jack said that he was not friend or family to the dead person. That means it was probably either Ben or Locke. Both of them wanted to stay on the island just like Jack does in the flashforward.

Did anybody notice that Jack's ex-wife was pregnant in the flashforward?

Jack on the bridge says: "Forgive Me...."

On a 52" HD screen, we tried to read the article Jack had in his hand. Appeared the article said something like "Los Angeles: Man found dead in downtown loft. The body of J....." Looked like a "J" anyway. Also mentions "New York" and "Grand Avenue", for whatever that is worth.

I believe Charlie didn't try to escape because he believed he had to die to save Claire.

Why can't the one-eyed man be killed?

Why does Richard not age? Seems to not have had any birthdays in awhile, Ben said to him "you do remember birthdays, dont you Richard?" (previous episode)

Ben still has not disclosed why he murdered 40 people with the Others....

I was glad to see Sawyer shoot Tom, Tom had it coming. I was hoping he would have shot Juliette right after that, but didn't happen.

Did Lana really die in her car when it exploded in front of Lionel? Oh wait, wrong show...

I am still LOST.

So much to think about here. We have some answers to previous questions, but then of course we have NEW questions.

My two biggest questions are WHERE IS THIS ISLAND and WHY DO THEY WANT TO GO BACK?

Jin was the only one without a rifle, and hitting a target at a distance is more difficult with a handgun. Plus his career seemed to be more focused on physical combat than marksmanship.

So it would seem that the eye-patch guy cannot be killed, at least not with a ultrasonic fence or a harpoon to the heart. Obviously it was not that difficult to swim down into the looking glass hatch since Charlie and Desmond were both able to do it. Mr. Invincible seemed to need diving gear however. Charlie was so convinced that drowning was his destiny that even after he had accomplished his task of shutting down the signal jammer, he still chose to die. He could have easily gone through the door and closed it from the other side, especially with Desmond's help. As far as we can tell there would be no repercussions stemming from his survival that would then interfere with their rescue.

The scene with Hurley trying to go with Sawyer and Juliette was very telling. Hurley was rejected before when he wanted to help Charlie and Desmond. Obviously he doesn't take no for an answer, not when there is a VW bus anyway.

I was immediately suspicious when after we heard the three shots over the radio we did not actually see the three guys dead on the ground. I did not suspect that Ben's henchmen would ignore his order like that, but it was a strange order and I wouldn't have been comfortable doing it either. I mean what if the radio broke and Ben didnt' actually want them to get shot? oops.

I'm sure I will think of more things later...

Is it just me or does a disproportionate number of eye candy get the axe on this island?

Maybe the one armed guy can heal like Locke?

Yeah, for as bad as Ben wants females to test on they do seem to die off rather quickly.

As soon as I saw Jack with the crappy paste-on beard and what seemed to be padding around the middle, I figured this was either a flash-forward or an alternate reality. I also knew if would be Kate appearing at the end. Guess I've read too many comic books, huh? Since I'm on a roll, I'm guessing it was Ben in the coffin.

The desperately-trying-to-get-back-to-the-island makes me think there's a "Somewhere In Time" aspect to the show which then makes me wonder if there's some sort of time displacement going on. They can't get back to the island because it keeps shifting in time, like trying to shoot a moving target. And if Jack's father is now alive, maybe when they get back to the real world, they don't exactly arrive in the same reality that they left, but one of millions of alternate ones. That would explain why the parachute-hot-chick thinks they all died. In her reality, they did. And that would explain why Penny doesn't know anything about the boat. In her reality, it doesn't exist. And that might explain the guy who doesn't age. Maybe people who are born on the island age at a much slower rate once they reach adulthood. Time doesn't work the same way for them.

Wow, now my head is spininng.

they all get golden passes to fly anywhere free after being saved!
nice perk!

Oh yeah, Jack's ex wife was REALLY pregnant. Wondering if that was just a sign that she had moved on completely or if that fact had some other significance.

That coffin looked kind of small to me but if the obit said "Man was found" maybe it was just my perception.

Given Jack's emotional state in the flashforward he could have said he wasn't a friend to Sawyer or Locke.

I would really hate it if the "he" Kate was referring to was Ben. Wouldn't it be fun if it were Hurley?

I really need to go back and rewatch the ep-

I suffer from the same sensitivity that you do. A few nuggets of wisdom were shared with me and I'm "trying" to incorporate them into my life. First, remember that nobody can hurt your feelings unless you let them. You can always reject what is being forced on you emotionally.
Second, nothing changes unless you change it. If you don't want the behavior to be repeated then you need to take action. Otherwise the kid has learned that his behavior is the way to get things done, because everyone lets him get away with it.
In the meantime I sympathize because I've been there.

Would anyone use a pass like that after a horrifying crash and then surviving half a year on an island? I would never fly again after they got me back to my country of origin

So after all Jack does for Kate, he still doesn't get to be with her. Cut and run now Jack, she's trouble!

I'm guessing that the flash-forward was showing us what would happen if they get rescued right now.

However, since there are 3 more seasons, I'd wager that in the Season 4 opener, Jack is going to come to believe that being rescued right now is not the correct thing to do. He'll probably have to take someone's word about his (and the other survivors') future - someone he doesn't want to believe (eg - Ben or Locke). But in the end, he will make the choice to leave them stranded. In which case, the flash-forward will never have happened.

The only thing that does not fit this premise (without additional revelation) is the "if I'm more drunk than he is" comment.

Well, he did say "get my father DOWN here"...which could conceivably refer to getting him down from, say, heaven.

It would be cool if his dad was alive, though. Nice twisty twist.

Hoffs Drawler funeral home? Too weird a name. Run it through an anagram algorithm and you get "Flash Forward".

I miss Charley. I don't get why he didn't go OUTSIDE the door and then close it.

Locke...meh. Used to be my favorite character. Seems to be a pretty good hand-to-hand fighter, for a box salesman.

Go Hurley! Go Hurley!

Seems a waste to have shot that dark-haired chick in the underwater station. She was sort of hot, in a girl-next-door kinda way.

Walt sure got tall in 3 months.

They should have out Walt on some anti growth medication

I think Charley wanted to die so the rest could get rescued.

How in the world did you come up with that Flash Forward thing?

Sorry...that was a typo on my part. The funeral parlor IS "Hoffs Drawlar", which does anagram into Flash Forward. I spelled it wrong in my post, above.

I' m JUUUUUST nerdy enough to look for anagrams whenever I see such a strange, out-of-place name. And in Lost, they always put in those easter-egg-type jokes!

Oooh! Here's another good one:

Hoffs Drawlar Funeral Parlor = real plan for flash forward

Coolio.

Here's another question:

If the boat wasn't Penny's, then why does she have an incoming line to that station? It WAS an incomiong transmission. Is she connected to Dharma, or to Ben?

just watched it. did the episode really end w/ jack standing at the airport or did Tivo cut it off early?

btw, jack's wife, i'm pretty sure, plays Denise on Boston Legal. she's been pregnant all this season so i assume the actress is in real life. maybe the Lost writers let it ride to show that jack's wife has really moved on.

Interesting, I went to the same high school as the guy who wrote that anagram finder. www.mbhs.edu

Does this mean I am LOST??

Wow...and if you run "LOST" through the anagram finder, you come up with "SLOT".

I wonder how important slots will be in Season 4? Makes you wonder...maybe they'll end up in Vegas?

I think the writers really are making this up as they go along, otherwise why not have filmed the scene with Walt and Locke 3 years ago? Still a great show though. But in another year Walt may be 6 feet tall and have the voice of Barry White so he may never re-appear. But they really need to resolve his story. Of course, his age will make more sense if they ever do a flash forward for him.

Seems to be the case because they killed off the two that had the DUI arrests and Nikki and Pablo were a complete waste of time.
