Now that it has been established that Alex is alive, Kate wonders why Danielle isn't anxious for more news of her long-lost daughter, to which Danielle responds by asking Kate how would feel if she knew that Jack, 16 years in the future, was unable to remember her. Is this a foreshadowing of a possible re-set following the detonation of Jughead, leading to memories being wiped out?deeannjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665551063383416639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-33949865177274596162009-10-26T14:18:44.178-04:002009-10-26T14:18:44.178-04:00@Ali Bags-I've always wanted to drive a right ...@Ali Bags-I've always wanted to drive a right sided vehicle.

I think Claire said early-on in her plan that the birds would only be there one day, that they were migrating. But Dez found the bird sitting on what appeared to be a nest in a very unfortunate location. An 'appearing for one day only' bird would not build a nest, would it? But I agree with Marebabe that the bird scene at the end was beautiful albeit flawed. <br /><br />With Emilie de Ravin's beautiful eyes and skin and overall beauty she can pull off blonde or brunette, but I found the goth look a bit harsh.<br /><br />studiorose - you'd win the Lost Halloween Costume Contest, hands down!<br /><br />A nitpick - Claire's mom is still intubated, with a breathing tube in her mouth, after being in a coma for 7-8 months looking at Claire's belly, or at least a few months if Claire was already pregnant but just not showing at the time of the crash. One can stay intubated for about two weeks at the longest before they need a tracheostomy!!tiasabitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-1990491254423437122009-10-26T03:50:41.330-04:002009-10-26T03:50:41.330-04:00By the way I am already up to 'The Constant...By the way I am already up to 'The Constant' and my memory having been destroyed by too much alcohol I will have forgotten all my genius observations by the time the rewatch gets around to them.<br /><br />Oh well - I'm afraid I'm so excited about the imminent Season 5 DVD arrival (I've ordered them from the UK where they have already been released)I can't stop watching.Ali Bagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826228234954697951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-83573965587871055062009-10-26T03:46:38.391-04:002009-10-26T03:46:38.391-04:00@ crazyinlost "@Batcabbage- as Marebabe state...@ crazyinlost "@Batcabbage- as Marebabe stated, left drive cars have clutches on the left (I also dont see the fun in driving an automatic-boring!)

The fact that we watch it makes me even more embarrassed that I didn't realize Claire and mom were in Australia.<br /><br />Now that I KNOW Claire was driving, I think it makes more sense that the aunt is angry, and thought it selfish of Claire to go home and take a shower. Not saying it's right, just understandable. She may have already been angry about Claire's rebellious behavior that may have gone with her (hot) Goth-ness. Plus, I don't think we have ever seen her not angry.<br /><br />Verification - chroiler.

The whole Wizrd of Oz mentality, that the wizard is really a con man pulling at levers behind the stage. So now we come upon a sonic fence that turns the brain to pudding. But, Tom had drawn a line in the sand (actually jungle)earlier with Jack. We were given to believe the Others were somewhat primitive and limited. Why? Why not just let the Losties come upon the fence if they felt like it. It's not like they'd have first thought, okay let's cut down a tree and crawl over the pillons. Maybe, Nikki and Paulo would have first found out about the pillons, not given them any thought and just walked into the plane of the sonic fence. Okay, wishful thinking, but I'm sure most of the Losties wouldn't have been as creative as Sayid, Locke and Kate were.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474623954925835867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-46551530914614194682009-10-24T17:38:31.328-04:002009-10-24T17:38:31.328-04:00Good to have ya back, Blam!Good to have ya back, Blam!The Question Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-92172621139072527412009-10-24T13:53:43.456-04:002009-10-24T13:53:43.456-04:00Allow me to add my voice to the resounding chorus ...Allow me to add my voice to the resounding chorus of "welcome back, Blam!" <br /><br />As the X-Men (or at least their covers) say, "hope you survive the experience!"Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-15605135109015380722009-10-24T13:37:33.930-04:002009-10-24T13:37:33.930-04:00This is the first time we really see any birds, ex...This is the first time we really see any birds, excepting the Hurley-bird, which I assume is native to the island. These gulls come in from Australia on a migratory path, an island which non one can get to except on a particular compass bearing of 305, and from which experienced sailors, like Desmond, can't find their way. <br />Now I know most birds fly by some inner magnetic compass, so I wonder if the compass in their brains is being pulled along by the electro-magnetic anomaly on the island. I think we are to imagine, before the Swan imploded, the birds may have been scattered round the island's "bubble" of EM. With the Swan's anomoly gone, they can reach the island. <br />The seagulls are also a poigniant metaphor of the helplessness of those on the island. The birds come and then go, something the Losties can't do, trapped as they are. It is this contrast which makes Charlie's reading of the message so heartfelt. Yeah, I know some see it as melodramatic, but Charlie's reading is alike a pause in a long passage, restful stop to consider how far the survivors have come.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474623954925835867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-34000312749751797922009-10-24T12:42:36.056-04:002009-10-24T12:42:36.056-04:00I don't think I caught the commment Mikail mad...I don't think I caught the commment Mikail made to Locke about "the Locke I remember..."
