Japanese translations are keu

I really enjoyed this episode. Jack has slowly started to join Kate on my Lost Death List but after this episode, he has been rescued. There is still no hope for Kate. In ATL we find that Jack has a kid. He has something to live for as opposed to his ITL life. David is Jack’s redemption. Much like Claire was Kate’s redemption two weeks ago.

I’m sure we’ll find out who David’s mom is eventually. I would really like for it to be Sarah (Julie Bowen) but whatev. I thoroughly enjoy Jack’s story arc. He has been such a broken character as he stated to Hurley, but he’s starting to find himself and his purpose. Will Jack be the next Jacob? I dunno, but Jack is destined for something great. We knew it the moment he became a leader to the survivors. It seems that before he can become the protector of the island, he had to be broken. It is Lost, though so pretty much anything could happen.

It’s funny, but this episode aired on February 23rd and Jack is 23 on The List. Also, this was the 108th Lost episode. To add even more intrigue, Jack’s mom hasn’t made an appearance on Lost in 23 episodes. Well done, writers.

Is the appendix scar a sign that the timelines are somehow melding? The banner outside of David's recital says, "welcome all candidates." David plays the same song as Faraday did when he was a kid.

"Someone is coming to the island." My immediate instinct is that Jacob is referring to Widmore. Then again, Jacob is not being very direct with Hurley. Poor Hurley is being sent on these missions because he seems to be the most apt to follow instruction, especially from ghosts. Having the favor of Jacob helps, though. You can see Dogen's immediate displeased submission when Hurley tells Dogen that he is a candidate. In fact, Dogen mumbles in Japanese, "you are lucky that you are protected. Because if you were not protected, I would cut your head off." What are your thoughts? Who is coming to the island, and for what purpose? Whoever it is, i hope they get there before Claire and Locke wreck The Temple.


Thanks for reading. Peace.

I hope it's Desmond. I really thought I had some theories about this show but season 6 has proven to be the biggest mind-eff of them all. I have no clue what's gonna happen, who is gonna do it, or how this will end. I DO think the 2 timelines are influencing each other. If Jack got his appendix taken out when he was 9, he would remember that. But it looks like he remembers it from something else. Great recap, love the stuff about the numbers.
