I’ll say this much about MiB – He seems like a fairly decent leader. He answers questions. Holds himself accountable for his people’s actions (Claire). And has a driven plan. Of course, that’s if you can get past the mass murder. : )

So – I think his “I forgive you” is another one of his good traits.

And I have no idea where Sean is. I thought he was with Locke’s camp but now that we’ve seen that side, my guess is he’s hanging in his bachelor pad finally catching up on all this TV after a weeks’ long obsession with Mass Effect 2.

So I just remembered, did anyone else think it was significant how there was some emphasis on MiB Locke’s forgiveness of Sawyer’s interruption? I mean, just saying “I forgive you” like that seems like something….what do you think?

And where’s Sean???

Absolutely, free will of men will win out.

I think I like that I got fooled with the police con at the beginning of the episode. I like when they get me and they did. And when he said LeFleur, I never would have thought he’d really be a cop and that it was Miles who was his partner. AND, things like this you could be like “yeah, sure, yeah, right” but I believed it all, made sense and I ate it up.

@Carlos – I agree with you. I don’t think MiB is as bad as he seems. In fact – he seems to be the only straight shooter, although that might be a similar con as to what Sawyer is doing. Fooling them by telling them the truth. That being said, he and Jacob do like to manipulate so I think in the end, the free will of men will win out.

Knowing that MiB had a mother, I think we’re right in thinking that he was human once. I’d hate to think how Smoke Monsters make babies. : )

The more I ponder this episode, the more I like it. Like I said, I’m a huge Sawyer fan and while the off island stuff didn’t tease as much as others have, I think we are do for payoff soon. There are only three original survivors left to have stories told (Jin&Sun, Hurley) and many more episodes than that – so I think we’re going to see some convergence soon.

@Aunt Sharon – I like the whole Judas angle BUT I don’t think it will happen for one reason. I think Sawyer will ultimately either lead them all to salvation OR sacrifice himself for everyone else. I don’t see him betraying anybody. He’s one of the good guys.

Hi all! Nice catch with Recon, didn’t catch that. I liked this one, all in all, not bad. I’ve loved all our theories and the potential that exists but I have to go back to what I said earlier this season, the sideways is just showing what may have been. No plot device, just simple. That their paths would have crossed anyway. That their lives would have been just as full of turmoil and issues as they were before, as the rest of us. That they did this to show us how it turned out. Now, no matter what, how they end it is going to be remarkable, if they tie the two timelines together will be incredible, and if they go even further into sci-fi to make one cancel the other out, or they have to meet their island counterpart, etc, will be spectacular. Now, also, I want something incredible, of course, but you’re right, it will have to be a masterwork.

I don’t think Aaron is to be the new MiB or that Claire is going to bring about his prophecy. Heck, I’m still not convinced he’s as bad as it seems. Where the heck is Jacob? Or is it my faith being tested here? I think the conversation between Locke and Kate was interesting, but not sure there’s supposed to be too much to it. However, I think MiB’s been there for a LONG time, like you said, as a human being infested long ago, as a child, when he and his mother were drawn to the island.

Jessi and I watch Lost by text- her first comment was ” Leave it to Sawyer to find a job where he can get laid!”.

So if we go back to the devil being in the details- and we’ve got the whole Good/Evil thing going, does this set Sawyer up as Judas?

Well said Ed. Great episode. I love the beach reunion! I so want them all to find each other…I need them to all be a family again. And for Sun to find Jin!!!! Like when Penny found Desmond, one of the best scenes…SO glad Ben took the right path, and Miles has provided quite a bit of comic relief. Nice shout-outs on Walter Peck- “Is this true?”; “Yes, it’s true..this man has no..”
Kastly, the Widemore scene was interesting and all but I was a little like what the heck??
