The first minute of this episode already had me gripped and sitting on the edge of my seat. It seemed like we were getting a flashback of the pilot episode, only to find out we are right on track with this week and Jack is back on the island!! Sooooo.....does that mean that the whole show is just one continous time loop??? I had theorized this some time ago, but we will still have to wait and see....as is always the case with this show!!
So the Dharma initiative has this secret room under a church in Los Angeles that was built in order to be able to locate the island. Mrs. Hawking keeps on saying, "they used it to find the island" and "they built it many years ago." She also makes reference to a very powerful man being behind it...so it begs to wonder if she is talking about Widmore....or Ben.....or Locke.....or Marvin Candle....or Vincent (lol). In any case, this is how she ultimately helps the '06 return to the island.....at least 3 of them anyway.
This scene was so funny to me. Jack: "How can you read?" Ben: "My mother taught me." lol!!
But how did Ben's mother teach him to read if she died giving birth to him?? Ben never stops being mysterious!!!
Speaking of Ben being mysterious.....what about this scene??? What in the world happened to poor Ben?? He looks like he has just had a Sayid a$$-whooping. But, he is at the marina...where boats are at....boats like Desmond and Penny are on.....and he told Jack he was going to keep a "promise to an old friend." I think Ben was making good on his promise to Widmore to kill Penny. Now whether he succeded or not, who knows, but if Desmond was anywhere around, that would definitely explain Ben's disheveled appearance. I hope he did not succeed in killing her because I would hate for Desmond to lose her like that, but it would be a very good reason for Desmond to return to the island....to seek revenge. Or, possibly Ben nabbed Charlie, Desmond's son, in the process and snuck him on the Ajira flight back to the island. It is all part of Ben's master plan.....Ben to Locke in season 4 finale: "I always have a plan, John."
I wanted to include this pic just to point out that the producers of the show are always on their toes giving us more information than we know. Hurley is reading a comic book called Y: The Last Man. The main hero is trapped in a near-future time where all the men have died off and there are only women. Ultimately, the women will die out as they have no one to "breed" with, or have babies with. Then, they find out there are 2 men left in a space station and the race is on to bring them back to Earth. This is what is know in "Lost-world" as an easter egg. Lots of them throughout the series.So, Jack, Hurley and Kate seem to be back on the island, but what has happened to Ben, Sayid and Sun??? I think the plane still crashed but in a different time. I think Jack, Kate and Hurley got time warped to their time and the rest of the Ajira passengers are safe, in a different time. Jin shows up at the end in a Dharma jumpsuit! I'm sure he was thinking, "Where's Sun??"
*************SPOILER***********SPOILER**********SPOILER**********SPOILER*****
Next weeks episode is entitled "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham." In the promo, we see that this will be the episode where we get to find out just exactly how Locke died, etc. However, if you watch closely in the promo, you will see that John is talking to the woman who escorted Sayid onto the Ajira plane in handcuffs. She says, "What do you remember?" and John says, "I remember dying." So, I think John is ALIVE!!! Now, the question is, was he reincarnated because his body was brought back to the island, or was he never really dead in the first place? My money is on the latter....my theory is that Ben (and possibly Locke himself) used the little spider from the Nicki and Paulo episode to make it seem that Locke was dead. I think this was the only way that Jack would have actually gone back to the island, to believe John was dead. Can't wait for next week!!! This has been such a great season!!
