Uncharted Island

Before that very sexy kiss, what do you think Sawyer whispered to Kate?

Because of Kate’s errand in the flash forward where she won’t tell Jack where she was, I believe he told her about his daughter Clementine. I wonder if he slipped in the name of Clementine’s mother, Cassidy, and if Kate had a small start at that when she realized it was the same woman she palled around with for a while?

Did he tell her anything else? There wasn’t much time, but was there anything else other than his daughter that he wanted her to see to for him?

Poor Juliet. She thought she was going to leave on the submarine, and Locke blew it up. Now she thought that she was going to be leaving by raft then by freighter… and that blew up, too.

Poor thing has been stuck on the island longer than any of our castaways, though admittedly, she was living quite well in New Otherton for most of that time.

Now, she’s free of Ben, though she doesn’t know it yet… but Jack’s gone, too. (I don’t think she knows that yet, either.)

It really sucks to be Juliet right now.

After Kate has the dream where Claire tells her not to bring Aaron back to the island, she runs in to see Aaron and apologizes to him. Why?

Is she sorry because she understood the backward message telling her to go back to the island, and she’s sorry because she’s going to ignore Claire’s warning and take him back? Or go herself and leave him?

Is she sorry because seeing Claire reminded her that she’s not his real mother, and she’s sorry that he couldn’t have Claire there for him?

Is she sorry because Jack is no longer in his life?

Is she sorry because she’s lying about being his mother?

It had to mean something, the way the scene was done.

The previously unseen footage from There’s No Place Like Home (Part 2) told us who the mysterious “other survivors” of the plane crash were. Boone supposedly died of massive internal injuries soon after the crash. Libby supposedly also died in the first week, also suffering from head trauma and memory loss. Charlie was said to have made it until a few weeks before they left on the raft. At least they stuck with the part where he drowned.

I guess it makes sense that not everyone who survived the initial crash would also survive being stranded on a deserted island. (As the castaways well know.) But why did Jack choose Boone, Libby, and Charlie?

The easy, most obvious answer is that they are actually dead. Confirmed dead. They won’t be popping up in the future to cause trouble for the Oceanic 6, because the members of the Oceanic 6 know for sure that they are dead. They couldn’t say that, for instance, Sawyer initially lived, but then died before they were rescued. If Sawyer suddenly waltzed back onto the mainland in a few years, there would be pointed questions about the Oceanic 6 story.

Sure, Sayid told everyone at the press conference that there was no chance that any other survivors of Flight 815 would be found. But that was speculation on his part, and it would be considered another miraculous marvel if another crash survivor popped up. No one would wonder why Sayid lied, because he wouldn’t have necessarily known.

But why these three specifically? There are plenty of other “survivors” that are known to them to be dead: Shannon, Ana-Lucia, Mr. Eko, Nikki, Paulo, Arzt…

If anyone has any theories, I’d love to hear them.

If you were wondering what Kate’s phone call said, as I was, you can hear the phone call in reverse.

It says, “The island needs you. You have to go back before it’s too late.”

But whose voice is it?

I can thank my husband for giving my the heads up on this one. Adam Savage from Mythbusters has busted Keamy’s C4 setup and more.

I think my favorite part is where he says, Perhaps the writers posit that the island exists on a plane between both space and time, and that this plane, this rift (that causes the weird temporal anomalies, and the polar bears, etc.), also taps into certain sensitive peoples’ psyches?

I knew there was a reason I love to watch Mythbusters. It’s just a bonus that Adam is a big LOST fan!
