Jack jumpoing off the boat and beginning to evovle into something more spiritual and connected to the island.

Did Sayid find that spark of Humanity when Desmond asked him what will he tell Nadia about what he had to do to see her again. It was the first time since he Joined Locke that he almost seemed a person again. And as I said last week, I am guessing he let Desmond out of the well.

I have read on one persons blog that they believe the Sideways world is actually the world that occurs if Smokey leaves the Island. The way Sun was looking at Locke there was definately a hint or a recognition that he may indeed be Smokey.

And Since Desmond seems to have conciousness in both worlds, the reason Desmond ran him over is because he knows Sideways locke is really Smokey.

I found it kinda creepy they way Sideways Locke calmly told Ben and the Paramedic his name and his wife’s name. Even in the moment, the way he said it had the knowing smirk signature, I am just telling you the truth and trying to help, twinge of Smokey.

Anyway, I thought this Episode was on the Awesome side for setting up the peices that hopefully explain and give us answers to this 6 years of Mythology.

Now I must admit when the ran toward the sonic fence I gasped a little bit saying…”No not another Illana…” Lol.

Still, I’m with you: there’s more “moving toward the finale” here, it seems, than “moving the pieces around.”

I was honestly a little disappointed in Desmond’s fate on the Island. For one, I think the reveal that the well wasn’t actually deep didn’t work well. I think if we’d seen that in last week’s episode, it would’ve seemed alright, but waiting a week for the reveal made it seem a little silly. Also, I was willing to accept Desmond as dead in the OT, as he seemed to have so much to do in the FST. As usual, he’s one of the characters I’m most interested to see how things turn out for, particularly as I’m seeing him as the black horse Jacob-replacement to challenge Jack’s destiny. We had five seasons of Locke filling our heads with talk of destiny and fate, and I started to buy it, but now Locke’s dead and a fool, so it may be free-will’s time to shine.

And then there’s Frank. Why is he still around? I don’t know what to make of him being in the main cast. Maybe it’s just a nice gesture to Jeff Fahey, a way of saying, “Hey, you’ve been on the show three years now, you’re on the Island with everyone else, we’re bumping you up.” But I still expect something from him. None of the other survivors really seem to know what he’s doing there either. And he keeps putting himself in terrible redshirt situations. Tromping off on adventures with cast members who’ve been around since day 1, it just does not seem smart. Is he actually important, or just some guy?
