Lonnie and I have resumed our Lost dinner. Tonights was Oklahoma Joe’s.
Lets get right to it I’m kind of tired.
- When Ben killed Jacob he said “They’re coming.” Who is coming?
- Last season Widmore, and other people, said a war was coming. Was Jacobs death the beginning of the war?
- So Locke is the MIB (where are his cool sunglasses? And his mind eraser thingy, that gives everyone cancer.)
- So if the MIB that was on the beach with Jacob can take the shape of Locke, and is also the Smoke monster. Would it be a safe assumption that Jacob has the same powers? If Locke is now the MIB. Can’t we assume that Jacob is now Sayid?
- I think after Juliet set off the bomb they jumped to present day. The reason I think this is because when the Temple people set off the flairs/fireworks the people on the beach saw them.
- What did Locke/MIB mean when he said he wanted to go home?
- What did Locke/MIB mean when he said to Richard “I haven’t seen you since you were in chains?” I’m thinking Richard came to the island on the Black Rock. Which we know was a slave ship.
- Has Cindy the flight attendant been with the Temple people the whole time?
- Why did we not see Walt and Micheal on the plane? We saw just about everyone else. Are they not back on the show?
- Why was Desmond on the plane? He wasn’t on it the first time. He was on the island pushing the button.
- The plane would have landed in 2004 so are the people on the island in or 2007?
- Now we finally know that Hugo wasn’t carrying around a guitar case full of deadly frozen burritos.
Over all it was a great start to the final season.
Here is some new information you might need that I picked up from the season 5 DVD.
Alvar Hanso was an weapons inventor in WW 2. He started the Hanso Foundation. The Hanso Foundation is the parent company of the Darma Initiative. The person that runs the Hanso Foundation is a guy named Gerald DeGroot. They meet while Alvar Hanso was attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
I think we will be hearing more about both the DeGroots and Alvar Hanso this season.
When the Losties thought up the plan to use the hydrogen bomb to blow up the swan station they they thought the only effect was going to be that their plane never crashes. But they don’t stop to think, That there would be other effect across the world. Who else would this action affect? How would it change their lives?
In fact, it would appear that they’ve sunken the Island. That’s their way of saying “Keep your eyes peeled for the differences that you’re not expecting.” Some of these characters were still in Australia, but some weren’t. Shannon’s not there. Boone actually says that he tried to get her back. There are all sorts of other people that we don’t see. Where’s Libby? Where’s Ana Lucia? Where’s Eko? These are all the things that I think we are supposed to be looking for and thinking about thought out the season.

EW and E! Online had some really great analysis of the episode. Jeff Jensen on EW is probably the most in-depth Lost Analyzer (Lostalyzer?) on the web.

Even more than me? Jensens recaps are way to long. I have to bookmark his post and finish it tonight. Who does the ones for E! Are they on Twitter?

Glad you got this up, I am too lazy. I agree, was a great night of Lost.
- Jacob is not in Sayid. MIB isn’t IN Locke, he is in a body that looks like Locke but can turn into Smokey.
-Yeah those 70′s castaways are now caught up to the rest. We only have original time line and “new/fixed” time line/reality. So far…
- Seems Jacob was keeping MIB from home. I think him going home is bad for our heroes.
- Black Rock was a slave ship with a captain named Hanso (Hanzo?). Anyway I am thinking temple guy was the captain and Richard a passenger/freight.
- Cindy was shown a couple times with the Others in the past year.
- No island to crash on, so Des not on it. Wonder if he was really on plane tho. Rose’s comment that they never saw him leaves it open. Another open question is whether Sun speaks English in the new reality.
- I think off island it’s 04, but like I said above on it it’s 07.
Changes s1e1 to s6e1 haircuts and clothes different, Hugo lucky, Rose comforted Jack this time, John sounded like he got his walkabout, , coffin and knives didn’t make the flight, No Shannon (Maybe no Walt/Mike/Anna/Ecko). Anything before what we saw might have changed with the island not there, don’t take anything we don’t see for granted.

The real interesting aspect is the H bomb incident set off a parallel universe starting back in 1977! In the parallel universe, the island had been sunk (presumably by the incident). To use Hugo as an example: the island sunk in ’77, his cousin never heard the numbers beacon so he never learned the numbers and never had bad luck relating to the numbers. Likewise, with the island at the bottom of the ocean, Desmond would’ve weathered the storm at sea and won the race (presumably in Australia).
We knew Cindy the Flight Attendant was one of the Others in previous seasons. She was brought to the polar bear cages “to watch”. It may be safe to assume then that she, along with some of the Others sought refuge with this other indiginous tribe. Was it when the Others fled from New Otherton?
Miles can hear dead people and Hugo can see and hear dead people. I’m sure they’ll have to pool resources or get pulled to opposite sides as the themes of the show suggest.
One of the major themes of the show has been science vs religion. I where this new tribe of Others falls on this scale? I think they’re some pseudo science religion hybrid.
