@Carlos: So did Requiem for a Dream!

So, its Tuesday! We all know what that means! =) ***Light Spoilers***

I don’t look into upcoming episodes, I like to be surprised. That said, without doing any extensive searching, according to Wikipedia, the title of the episode is Lighthouse. Hurley must convince Jack to accompany him on an unspecified mission and Jin stumbles across an old friend.

So, where must Hurley convince Jack to go with him? We must finally find out what Claire has been up to. Is it really Claire, or is it MiB Claire?

I cannot take credit for it. I got it from the ABC site, who got from Dark UFO? I think. Yes, all of the other names listed were crossed off, women and men. I did recall seeing Mattingley, who if we remeber was hooking up with Juliet. It is intersting the numbers that haven’t been crossed off yet (except for Locke who he crossed off) are “the numbers” from Hurley and the hatch. Who knows what the others numbers are for or how those numbers are ultimtly significant.

Can’t remember who said it but I like the “lucky” Hurley as well. Still funny, but not as troubled. Although you figure he still had to be hospital in order to get the numbers to win the lottery in the first place…

@Sean – I had the same thought. The last image is hundreds of years later, we see Jack going about his daily activities on the beach – catching a fish – frying it – and then sawyer comes out of the jungle and settles down on the beach.

We close as Sawyer says “Do you have any idea how much I want to kill you.”

And the circle repeats itself.

@Sean: Interesting question, where’s the alchemy? They’ve had just about everything else! No turning lead to gold!?

I read a book in high school called “The Alchemest” by Paulo Cohelo, and it has become one of my favorite books. It’s a tale about following one’s personal legend; the path we decide to take that fills our heart with enthusiasm. Another idea the book presents is that when you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

It follows the story of Santiago, a young Spanish shepherd who dreams one night about finding treasure by the pyramids of Egypt. So upon meeting a strange man, who says he is a king, the boy sells his flock and boards a ship to follow his dream and find the treasure. On his journey he has many adventures, has many successes and many setbacks, but once he arrives to the pyramids, he finds that the treasure he sought was really at home where he originally dreamed of it.

I’m not sure if this 100% relates to LOST, but I think the two main themes about following a personal legend and the universe conspiring to help you achieve something can be applied.
