@Sarah – You are right on the money. Good catch with Horace in the woods. Locke saw Horace in a dream sequence and Horace told him that he was chopping the trees down to build a cabin for his wife and infant son. Then his nose started to bleed. So, that was definitely an omen of things to come.

ok, let me be a total girl here and say that I LOVE SAWYER! he was always my favorite on the show, and after last night, i think i may want to make my bald husband get a wig and hit the gym so he can be more sawyer-esque LOL.

great episode….i love sawyer (did i say that already?) and juliet together – and i really hope kate doesn’t f-it up! she just did it with jack right before they left….so really, i hope she doesn’t expect to come in and be all lovey dovey w/ sawyer. it does bug me that sawyer didn’t tell juliet where he was going….

great write up ed!

question for you though – we saw horace when lock was in the forest at some point, right? was he the one who told locke about the mass grave and the extinction of the DHARMA folks? all i remember is him chopping down trees & my mind can’t get to the exact scene. any help?

Yeah, I agree. If the show ended and they forgot to bring closure to the two of thm, I’m not sure I’d be ranting and raving.

Not that I really care where Bernard and Rose and any other 815ers are, but I would guess that since they moved to the time the flaming arrows with Sawyer and company, that they continued to move in the same time. That said, where have they been for three years? I don’t think they’d silently rid themselves of at least those two since they haven’t been total red shirts. You’d think they’d show a finality if there was one to be shown.

That said, what if the two of them have been holed up somewhere on their own and they end up being the two skeletons in the cave? Hmmm…

We don’t know where Bernard and Rose are. They could have been transported elsewhere or not transported alongside Sawyer and co. Oh well – we don’t need no stinkin’ red shirts anyway.

Just a little semi-off-topic… I guess all the other Losties have been knocked off – including Bernard and Rose. 3 years is a long time to be wandering the island and hanging on the beach… they must have become Smokey food in that time, if the flaming arrows didn’t get them.

What is odd is that they chose next week to skip a new episode instead of this week. Last night started March sweeps, so LaFleur didn’t count, but next week’s presumed repeat will. Kind of odd, but the end of last week’s would have been a good two week *cliffhanger* with Jin finding the three. Of course, does it really matter? We know ABC is going to run this thing to the end, sweeps numbers be damned, plus the LOST lead-in didn’t help Life on Mars which finally got the axe earlier this week.

I feel like I need to watch this episode again, but it was great!

I nearly leapt out of my seat when I saw the statue. I was hoping to see more of it, but alas, perhaps it will be one of the island’s un-answered questions.

Funny, I was recently watching The Dark Knight with a friend, and I mentioned that the dude playing the mayor of Gotham was also on Lost, and he says, “Does he wear as much guyliner as he does here?”

I definitely see some Egyptian tie-ins, esp. with the eyeliner (though its a long shot), the picture Hurley was painting with watercolor, and now the ankh.

Three years is a loooong time! Its almost unheard of to do something like that on a tv show, to go from present day and then to say, “and three years later,” but we had to know something like that was coming because they had to explain what the rest did on the island for THREE YEARS while the Jack pack got to go home. Its almost as ballsy as Ronald D. Moore’s decision to have Battlestar Galactica skip ahead a whole year whilst on the Cylon occupied New Caprica!

As for the two weeks thing, I think that’s easily explained. The premiere was two hours and the finale is two hours. That’s 4 episodes right there (of their order of 16). They want to get to May for May sweeps so they are taking a week hiatus just so the finale airs during the oh-so important sweeps week. If you can believe it – we’re already at the half way point of the season and then we wait until January once again. All told, there are only 24 episodes remaining in the entire series.
