>: 73 EGGTOWN
Tricked!
For the first time, we open with an eye who does not belong to the flashback/forward character. When the wave surged and the camera was on Kate, it was funny, my guts were like, No, Locke, you’ve got it wrong. Learned behavior. Marvin Candle would be proud. Great V.A.L.I.S.-callback to the classic Swan days of bringing Ben/Henry Gale books. That’s one of my favorite ever novels, you can see PKD’s mind unraveling onto the page. Would have been funny, though, if Locke had selected Stephen King, though I guess Ben probably doesn’t have any lying around. Maybe a copy of CARRIE that Juliet loaned him 100 days ago?
Oh, Locke brings him eggs. Eggtown is still a weird damn title for this episode, babynapping aside. Locke’s “You might catch something you missed the second time around.” is a meta-comment and a half. Can’t believe Locke has grown so little that Ben’s still got him smashing dishes two seasons later.
Catherine figured it out the instant Claire asked Kate to get Aaron for her. I think I would’ve gotten it a few seconds later.
Jack comes in and perjures the hell out of himself. No beard, unfortunately. So they’re claiming only eight people survived the crash? Wonder which two other people they said survived and what the motivation was. Kate “tried to help the other two but they died”. Kate’s mom thinks Aaron’s her grandson, so it’s not like they’re saying he’s really Claire’s and Kate’s just keeping him. Shouldn’t it be a matter of public record that Kate wasn’t pregnant when she crashed? Does this mean they don’t get off the island for a lot longer, long enough that she could have conceivably given birth to Aaron?
Xanadu! And Dharma boxed wine, fine times.
Sawyer brings back backgammon! Nice riff on the pilot, there, that first game with Walt.
Miles is willing to lie for $3.2 million? Does he work for Daniels or is there a higher-up? Who is Ben, according to Miles? What can he do?
What the hell are Dan and Charlotte doing with the cards? Testing short-term recall? Something to do with being on-island or with Daniel himself? One scatter-brained physicist, to be sure.
Frank, Sayid, and Desmond never made it? Serious. Hope it’s not weeks before we see them.
Locke with the grenade in Miles’s mouth! Hardcore. That’s the man I elected in ’04.
Sawyer talks Kate back to the beach in about a minute. She whacked him good, though. Too, that book he was reading twice this episode "The Invention of More" (amazon&google are letting me down on the author in the short-term) has a pretty resonant synopsis: "A fugitive hides on a deserted island somewhere in Polynesia. Tourists arrive, and his fear of being discovered becomes a mixed emotion when he falls in love with one of them. He wants to tell her his feelings, but an anomalous phenomenon keeps them apart.") Shades of Desmond, yas.
Why doesn’t Jack want to see Aaron? What is that indicative of? Does he realize that he’s Aaron’s uncle? Did Claire get killed on the boat? (remember, we know she gets on the chopper, because of Desmond’s vision/Chahlie’s sacrifice) Is that kid they got to play Future Aaron the baby from the end of Season One? Because the resemblance is freakish. What will be the final fate of the survivors of Oceanic 815?
