Hurley & Libby: Yay! He brings the blankets this time! Yay! When Hurley said he “can’t” remember, it made me think he may have made a T1 choice to forget. Maybe they had to sacrifice T1, including their memories of it, to save the world, or whatever. If so, what will remembering actually do? Ellie [...]

OK, let’s be honest. I didn’t reeaaaally watch the first time around despite being very excited (or was it because I was very excited?). So I’ve had to spot check. And I do fear that this episode was FAR too layered to be explored properly. My god. Just the surface easter egg/crossover stuff alone was [...]

It’s starting to look like for the Sun/Jin story to be happily ever after, they would possibly have to do the merged timeline thing. In T1, Ji Yeon is fatherless but lives. In T2, she might die before she’s born, along with her mother. T1 Jin could be poised to save the world, but would [...]

(Written last night, neglected to post) OK, wasn’t there more I was going to say?? Oh, this episode made me go back to that Season 6 theory that the two limetimes (timelines in dunrk speak. Argh! Alcohol really fucks up the language center of the prain! Aphasia!) The two timelines bleeding into each other theory. [...]

Going to splat this here and talk more later… So purple! Everyone! All purple and blue and red! Mirror stuff: Sun checked herself out to answer her hotel door. Jin was reflected in the freezer door, but I don’t know if he cared. Should I read more into that? Or, since Sun is not Kwon [...]

Stuff I hadn’t had time to think out or post: OK, back to this: Jacob said everyone prior to Richard had died. So was Richard alone on the Island and until when? Richard was the first “Other”? Things seemed pretty solid by the 1950s, and we know the British were there before the Americans, but [...]

So, back to the genie theory, right? Maybe MIB feels Jacob tricked him into taking the place of the previous djinn, who MIB freed to get his mother or wife or someone back, or for much more selfish reasons… Other things: Jacob says everyone else who came there is dead. Who are the Others? Did [...]

As prompted by Matt doing an impression of Jeannie… Is it equally as legitimate to ascribe magic to ancients as to god as to gods as to witches as to genies and so on? The smoke monster sure is looking like he wants to escape his bottle. He sure makes a lot of implied promises. [...]

“I am the smoke thing.” RAWR! I’m going to be honest. What the hell was going on last night? Trying to sort out the true intentions of each character is rough. Everyone’s the smoke monster, morphing into whatever is needed to get to the next level. We may not know until the deeds are done, [...]

OK, here are some not-so-short thoughts on tonight’s viewings. First, more thoughts about Jacob/MIB and what their purposes are. As this latest round of popups reminded us, Widmore wanted Locke back on the Island to make sure the right side won. In that same conversation, he named Locke “Jeremy Bentham.” When we found out his [...]
