THE LONG CON
Sawyer gets caught at his own game when he is figured out by Cassidy. Seems times are a little harder than they were in the past, the “money” is mostly paper this time around. The first time we saw Sawyer try to run this con the money seemed to be all real.
Sun gets roughed up a bit by Charlie.
Ana Lucia gets Scott and Steve mixed up. Why? Or better yet how? She wasn’t there when Scott was alive so how did she even know who he was?
In the hatch we see the novel An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce. The story is interesting in that it incorporates the unreliable narrative theme of writing as well as a twist ending and irregular time sequence.
Kate’s mom waits on Sawyer at the diner.
Sawyer proved to be a better con man than I originally gave him credit for both on and off the island.
Sayid fixes the radio Hurley got from Bernard and they end up getting reception on it. Hurley mentions that the transmission could be coming from “anytime”. The station is identified as WXR. The call letters belong to a public service station that belongs to the US Army. Oddly enough the announcer mentions the song “Just a sittin’ and a rockin’”, which is what we see Jacob doing in season 4.
The song Hurley and Sayid hear on the radio station, Moonlight Serenade was recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Miller, besides a musician, was also a U.S. Army Major. On Dec. 15th, 1944, Miller and two other officers traveled from London to Paris and their plane simply disappeared.
Also notice that Hurley is reading the manuscript for the book "Bad Twin" written by Gary Troupe. TPTB said that Gary Troupe was the survivor that is sucked into the plane engine in the pilot episode
Sawyer tells Charlie that he is not a good person. If that was the truth would he still be alive?
ONE OF THEM
Kate’s “father” has Sayid held hostage during Desert Storm.
Sawyer has it out with a tree frog and catches Hurley with his secret stash.
Danielle catches a man named Henry Gale in a trap.
Kelvin is revealed to be the person who set Sayid on the trail that would lead him to becoming a torturer.
Notice that when “Benry” gives Sayid the symptoms that supposedly his wife died from they are the same symptoms that the pregnant women on the island go through before death.
Sayid tells Benry that he was a good man until he was given his abilities as a torturer.
The hieroglyphics are shown for the first time when the timer in the hatch reaches zero.
Benry says that he became stranded on the island after his hot-air balloon went off course and took him there. This is a direct reference to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, where the main character, a girl named Dorothy Gale, dreams she has become lost in a fantastical world after her house is sent there during a tornado, many points of which have a parallel within the world of LOST. Henry Gale is the name of Dorothy's uncle in the 1939 film. The famous "Wizard of Oz" arrived in the Land of Oz when his hot-air balloon took him there by mistake. He too, like Lost's Benry, comes to live in a community that exists in a strange location where its inhabitants seem to stand out from their surroundings.
Sayid comes to the conclusion that “Benry” is an “Other”.
Kate’s “father” carries a picture with him of a much younger Kate than the current version that we are used to on the island.
When Kelvin releases Sayid he tells him that some day Sayid will need to get information from someone and he will have the skills to get that information from them. Is it possible somehow Kelvin knew Sayid would meet with Benry in the future? That’s not possible is it?
Henry Gale is described as "one of them", being one of the Others, whilst Sayid is "one of them", helping the Americans.
MATERNITY LEAVE
Aaron gets sick and suddenly LOST has it’s first “girls night out”.
Didn’t it seem odd that when Claire tells Libby about Ethan she doesn’t tell Kate and Claire about Goodwin?
Benry asks for some Stephen King when Locke gives him some Dostoyevsky to read.
Libby helps Claire remember what happened when Ethan took her captive.
Ethan lies to Claire when she asks him about Charlie. The numbers appear on the vaccine. The vaccine appears to be the same vaccine Desmond was seen using in "Man of Science, Man of Faith"
In Claire’s dream there was a plane mobile that is identical to the one she sees in the Arrow station. Notice the Oceanic logo on the plane.
Hey, there’s Tom for the first time without his beard. Is Tom talking about Ben when he says; “What am I going to tell him?”
Danielle practically begs Kate to kill her.
Notice that rain begins to fall violently just as Claire discovers the medical station
Claire drinks from Ethan’s canteen and whatever was in there is sour. Ethan says he didn’t notice. What was in there and why didn’t he know it was sour?
The Others goal was to take Aaron and allow Claire to go back to her camp. Was that true? I think they would have killed her once they were done with her. Or she would have died while they were taking the baby from her. They were going to take the baby right out of her so it's possible, as Danielle says they had no intention of Claire even surviving.
Ethan told Claire that they are "good people" and a "good family."
The Others were able to strip the medical station pretty quick. But Kate still manages to find the costumes and the fake beards.
Was the fertility specialist, Juliet, aware of Ethan's attempts to prematurely birth Aaron by cutting him out of Claire's belly? Was Ethan following Ben's orders or acting solo? Which side of "The Line" is the Staff located?
Alex helps Claire escape and it seemed that Claire still wanted to give up her baby.
Claire gives Danielle hope when Danielle is devastated about not being able to find her daughter yet again.
In a weird but still good scene, Eko tells Benry about killing the two Others his first night on the island. He asks Benry for forgiveness and tells him that it is his confession. Then he cuts off his little beard knots. Aside from being dramatic, what is the significance of Mr. Eko's action with the knife? Some say that the knots were purposely grown into the shape of a "V" so if this is true what did the "V" stand for?
Claire reconfirms her motherhood towards her son. Too bad we know that it can't last.
Benry gets under Locke’s skin for the first time when he asks Locke why he allows Jack to call all the shots.
