All the 'chosen' and 'special' talk. Destiny. Consequences to being chosen. "Destiny is a fickle bitch!" Oh, yes it is. "Guys. Cabin." Hee! Hurley cracks me up. Huh. Locke fell 8 stories out a building. Oh. Shit. I thought for sure he was going to push him down those stairs. Walkabout. 'Ding'...going down? Nice try, Captain....you were just not evil enough.

I've got it! Richard and Jacob and maybe Christian are really "Ancients" from the Stargate universe; and they're old hands at high-tech stuff, like moving large masses (though the island is even bigger than Atlantis)...
Or not.
Neat appearance by Abaddon. I guess I missed Claire being killed, or her body being found; since I don't remember either event being shone.
Why wouldn't Locke's mother keep him?
That was so nice of Hurley to give half of his candy bar to that creepy murdering self-excusing Ben. Right, Ben, it was the Others' fault that everyone in the Dharma Initiative was slaughtered. Sheesh.
May I say, nervously, that things don't look good for Desmond and Michael?

Hey! We were right. Christian is Jacob. This show is so fulked up. "I'm here because I was chosen to be." Oh. Whatever. Hi Claire. 'I'm with him." Oh, for Christ's sake. What is the one question that does matter? Oh..really? How do I save the island? Oooookay. Claire looked very weird. Ben and Hurley. Sharing a bite to eat. Here comes Locke. OH....LOL! Move the island. Of course. Piece of cake. Allrighty then. Ooooooo now that looks like a space ship. Huh. The island is a space ship?

Jacob is Christian?
Ben is Glory?
Jacob is Christian?? Christian is Jacob?
I'm confused.
I don't have the impression, actually that Christian is Christian or Claire Claire anymore; more like physical avatars of the Island or something. Though one wonders where ageless Richard comes into it all.

I was really rooting for the Captain by the end there, taking a stance and all. But damn. He just wasn't prepared for the full commitment to killing that Keamy has.

Or not. Hey, it's a good a theory as any. Well, we haven't seen Claire die, so technically I suppose it is still a question. But hanging out with dead Christian at Jacob's wacky Cabin O' Doom doesn't bode well for her aliveness, does it? Even if he was following orders from someone else, he gets no pass from me unless he was facing death himself unless he complied. And even that would only give one a partial excuse, really. Both Ben and Whidmore have the whole "it's not my fault, 'cuz you made me" excuse down pat, don't they? [/color][/quote] They look very very scary for Desmond and Michael. And even if Michael still seems to have an island-provided escape-death thing working for him, it doesn't seem to stop him from being beaten and hurt.

At this point, I'm prepared for any of those choices.

**nods** I think the avatars thing is a very likely scenario. Richard, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. Because we see him off the island so much and interacting with multiple people at once . . . I'm still leaning toward Richard being one of the Island's "original" immortal four-toed statue building inhabitants.

From lostpedia: - One of the items Richard shows Locke is the 'Book of Laws'. In "What Kate Did", Eko tells Locke a story about a King who rebuilt the Church using the Book of Laws, and then reveals part of the Orientation tape hidden inside a book.
- After a car accident, Emily Locke (initials: EL) gives birth to John 3 months premature. As newborn Locke is removed from the hospital room, Emily calls out "His name is John! Call him John!". Later in the episode John meets Horace Goodspeed in a dream, who directs John how to find the cabin. This mirrors Ben's birth story from "The Man Behind the Curtain": On the side of a road in Portland, Emily Linus (initials: EL) gives birth to Ben 2 months premature. As Emily dies from a hemorrhage, her last words are "Call him Benjamin." Roger Linus had flagged down a car driven by Horace Goodspeed, who then takes Roger and newborn Ben to the Island." ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
- The DHARMA logo on the handbook Keamy takes from the safe is the same one on the chest of the jacket Ben was wearing in Tunisia.
Also: Locke's year of birth was previously established as 1956; "Every Day" by Buddy Holly wasn't released until 1957.

I did not remember any of that stuff about Ben's birth so thanks Sara. Very neat parallel there. I certainly did not remember the Eko book of laws stuff. As my favorite Vulcan would say - fascinating.

Oh, now Ben is all pouting. I was the special one before. OMG! Chosen and destiny the fickle bitch? Who does he think he is? The slayer?
And there's the creepy ass cabin. **starts getting scared** Physical therapy John. Ok, who is the mysterious "don't give up" therapist guy. Ooooooh! It's the Whidmore (or whatever organization) guy! Is he gonna push him down the stairs? Oh! He gives him the idea for the walkabout!! He sets up the whole thing of being on the plane!!!!!!!!!! "You'll owe me one." OMG!!!!! "But I'm the doctor." Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!! I was hired to fly scientiest. And, yeah, if you kill him then not so much with the flying. So, they kill someone else. Aaaaaaand there's the doctor so he can wash up on the beach. **is officially freaked out** Captain dead too?! ?!1 !! What did the pilot tuck away? I couldn't tell! Lola - you are slaying me. Hee!

Teaser
Playing "Rollercoaster." Paralleling Desmond's and Juliet's introduction.
So we're in the 60s.
Emily. Is this Ben's mom?
Ooh, pregnant. 6 months. Born premature.
His name is John. So this is Locke's birth. But, wait. What about Swoozie Kurtz? I'm so confused.
Okay, wasn't Ben also born 6 months premature?
Looking for the cabin.
Hurley is asking Very Excellent Questions.
All of a sudden Ben, Locke, and Hurley are in a Three Stooges sketch.
Maybe when Ben and Locke pull their heads out of their asses, the island will tell them what to do next.
Back on the freighter.
The helicopter's back. Ah, returning with the commandos.
OK, so the smoke monster did kill one commando. I guess that was enough to make the rest of them run, and hence why most of them are alive.
Keamy wants to know who is on the island and where they all are. Why on Earth does he think that Sayid would just answer a question like that?
Keamy's vendetta to find the mole.
Keamy finds Michael. This is not going to be pretty.
Gun jammed!
Michael's the only one who can fix the engines, because he's the one who broke them.
I wonder if Sayid is sorry for giving up Michael now. I bet he wasn't expecting this to happen.

Part I
Locke's eye.
Huh? Is this a vision or a dream.
Is this Roger? No, Horace.
Sometimes, you need a break fro the DI. DHARMA Initiative.
He's been dead for 12 years. So the gassing took place 12 years ago. Did we know this? And how does it relate to "the incident" and "the purge?"
Locke has to find Horace, and then he'll find Jacob.
Horace's nose bleeds.
Okay, a dream.
Ben looks like he knows what Locke was dreaming about.
I used to have dreams. Hee! I love the way Michael Emerson delivered that line.
Every illness or infection, BabyJohn's fought them off. I wonder if this means that Locke's legs healing had to do with some characteristic he possesses. Not so much the island. Or maybe something about him in synergy with the island or something.
A miracle baby.
And Emily abandons him.
Wow, grandma is incredibly callous.
Richard! Huh? What is his role in all this? Does he investigate every miracle baby or can he sense some kind of mystical convergence around Locke or what?
And wait, Richard and Locke had some scenes together already Does this put them in a new light?
Maybe this island is like Never Never Land, with Ben and Locke vying for the title of Peter Pan.
Hurley thinks only crazy people can see the cabin.
Locke tells Hurley about what happened to the DHARMA Initiative. Ben looks uneasy. GEE, I WONDER WHY? [/sarcasm]
Now Ben looks like he has murderous rage in his eyes.
Back at the mass grave.
Now Ben just looks exasperated. Hee!
