>: 78 THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
Open on Kate bathing, man, she is the cleanest person on the island, there’s no getting around that. And Jack starts in on the pills, wrote himself a prescription. A sign of what’s to come, he’s making my beard itch.
I was positive they were playing Risk. The games motif is alive and well. Hurley understands the strategic importance of Australia.
Well, I was sure wrong about Ben setting Alex’s people up. Nice misdirection, there. It’s great how such mundane things as a phone ringing or playing catch with a football take on such ominous overtones on the island.
And Ben’s got a shotgun in the piano. Hilarious.
That’s a lot before the title.
And Ben’s in the Sahara, sporting a nifty new DHARMA logo on his jacket. The name on his jacket is Halliwax. That’s the name Marvin Candle/Mark Wickman gave on the clip for the Orchid station that they showed us at Comic-Con. This clip led us to believe that that station deals with teleportation or maybe time-travel, as a cute little bunny with a 15 on its side seemed to exist in two places at once all of a sudden. The time-jump seems to be confirmed later on when Ben asks for the date and specifies not knowing what year it is.
Faraday: “When is kind of a relative term.”
Man, I thought Sawyer was toast. He is a hell of a bullet-dodger. And the rocket-launcher! Good trick, I thought Claire was history, too.
“I just want to bury my wife” are maybe the craziest words that could have come out of Sayid’s mouth on TV, quite a lot of information conveyed in a single sentence.
The ringing doorbell was pretty funny.
Wow, I can’t believe they shot Alex in the head. Serious stuff. What are the rules established between Ben and Widmore? He really seemed like he wasn’t expecting Kimi to shoot her. Emerson is getting another Emmy nomination this year, no question. The look on his face after Alex got shot was incredible. So killing Alex was somehow a violation of the rules and sent Ben into his Batcave to summon the monster, which was wonderful because I’ve been sure that he was in control of it since early last season. Some glyphs on that secret door too, recalling the Swan timer. Interesting.
Surprised that Widmore’s guy didn’t know what Ben looked like. Sayid is all about the dry-firing. Six bullets just aren’t enough.
That little smile of Ben’s while he walks away seems to suggest that this was all a set-up. Is it possible that he had Nadia killed? Him seeing Sayid on TV seems like a legitimate reason for him to be involved, but smile makes me wonder.
Great to see the monster. There were some flashes in it, but nothing biographical like when Eko stood up to it.
Kate sure was making eyes at ol Daniel Faraday, there. How can the doctor be fine? Is this like Halliwax’s two rabbits in one place?
Sawyer and Claire defect, taking Miles with them. Tense standoff with Sawyer and Locke, they’ve got everything so ratcheted up that I’m looking for people to die just any time now. And Ben appropriates John’s line, “Follow me.”
Wild conversation between Ben and Widmore. Is all this really just a struggle between the two for control of the Island? Widmore’s got nightmares and is rocking the MacCutcheon. Ben can’t kill Charles. And has horrible eyes. And the Island used to belong to Charles. And will again, if he can find it. And Ben is going to kill Penny. If he can find her.
Just a hell of an episode. Guess the title means we’re in for more of the same. Gah, two episodes and a gigantic finale aren't enough. But nothing will be I guess, until the end, which will just shatter me.
