LOST recap for 2/1

What can I say? It was a long time coming, but it was worth every second. I think since they set a time table for the show to end, it has stopped meandering around and the show is now focusing and heading toward a conclusion.

Thoughts on last night's ep:

1) Was that Christian Sheppard (Jack's dad) that Hurley saw in Jacob's chair? It sure looked like him and the actor Christian was listed in the closing credits. But so was Harold Perrineau and Michael wasn't in the episode. At any rate, I think it's worth noting that Hurley could clearly see someone, where as Locke couldn't. (Screen captures of Christian in the chair are at : losteastereggs.blogspot.com.)

2) Who are the Oceanic Six? Hurley, Kate and Jack are locks, and I'm willing to include Sawyer, but who else? Are Six going to get off soon?

3) What are they hiding? Jack asked Hurley if we told anyone what happened.

4) Jack was willing to kill Locke. Or was he? Could he tell if it was loaded? I still feel Locke will be killed before it's all over.

5) Was it just me or did the guy at the mental hospital who pointed out Charlie out to Hurley look like the guy who hijacked the Oceanic Air commercial and web site? And to that end, the parachutist who first met Jack looked like Charlie (he had the same hoobit-like features).

6) Annie in our office has thrown this at me: The Oceanic 6 are Jack, Kate, Hurley, Rose, Claire and the baby. Rose dies (she had cancer in the real world) and is the person in the coffin, since she had no children. They are rescued by Naomi's people, and they tell them they are the only survivors because they have doubts (thanks to Locke) about whether they are here to help. It turns out they are able to send them back, but Jack harbors guilt about leaving the rest behind.

But then again, when Jack was asked at the funeral home if he was friend or family to the "person in the coffin" he responded "Neither." I felt he was friends with Rose, not close, but he would have acknowledged knowing her.

Several spoiler sites are revealing the Oceanic Six to be: Kate, Jack, Hurley, naw I can't give that information out...E-mail me if you want to know...

That's all for now, the comment section is open for your take on it all.........
See you next week...
