21 Questions About Last Night's Lost, Answered!
Why did Claire bring back a Shamu doll from Australia? Shouldn't she have gone koala there?
Definitely should've gone koala.
Dr. Goodspeed? Really, Ethan?
Now you know why he went with the more intimidating-sounding "Rom" on the island. No one's vaguely afraid of an evil doctor named Goodspeed.
And how about "Dogen" for the Angry Temple Master?
At least it's not as on-the-nose as calling the guy who looks like John Lennon "Lennon."
Why does Dogen have a baseball?
It's actually the final out from the 2004 World Series, a tape of which Ben Linus showed Jack to blow his mind a few seasons back. The answer to how such a historically significant baseball artifact wound up in Dogen's possession will be provided in the coming months. (In this timeline, Jacob stole it from Doug Mientkiewicz before he could be strong-armed into giving it to the Hall of Fame. Also, in the 2004 "the bomb worked and everything is as it should be" timeline, the Yankees win the Series.)
Where did Sawyer get an engagement ring on the island?
The Zales Outlet at the Otherville Barracks has a surprisingly good selection at very reasonable prices.
Wow, Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back! Maybe they're going to give him a recurring role for the final season!
[Mac's chest erupts in bullet wounds] OK, maybe not. See you back at Paddy's, dude.
What was The Man in Locke up to this week?
With no storyline, he was just hanging around on the beach, keeping everybody loose. After everyone got bored with the briefly amusing novelty of "Locke" waltzing with his sandy, abandoned cadaver, he belched up the Smoke Monster, which then delighted the captive audience by dangling Richard Alpert over the ocean by his ankle, occasionally dipping his head in the water to streak his eyeliner.
Considering so much happened in the premiere, was this relatively uneventful hour a "filler" episode?
Executive producer Damon Lindelof has some pointed words for you, sir!
Do you think that maybe the Lost producers eased off the gas a bit so as not to overshadow Jay Leno's final The Jay Leno Show?
No.
Sayid's been "claimed" by Leno, hasn't he?
[Whispers ominously] Yes.

Gaping plot hole in your proposed "Yankees win the Series" alternate timeline: to win it in 2004, they would've had to have been in it in 2004.
Another question: What hospital does Kate bring Claire to? It looked like a particularly mountainous and foggy region of Los Angeles known to locals as "Honolulu."
Seriously, fuck this show.
Kate would never have made it out of LAX, let alone all the way to Brentwood, then to a hospital (!!!), without being stopped by the cops. That she was in a stolen taxi cab of all things makes it all the less plausible.
And when the cops who came to see Claire asked "do you know who this woman is who came in with you?" she said "no" and they went on their merry way. BULLSHIT. Kate was in custody for murder. They would have locked down the hospital, searched every room, and asked Claire a million questions.
Fuck this show. For me, it ended at the close of season 3.
Question re: Punch Press dude. Did Kate know him or are we just to assume any random blue collar car mechanic dude is going to be more than helpful to a hot con (wanted for murder) in distress? Seriously, is that the norm?
Ethan is the son of Horace Goodspeed. He either took "Rom" on as a last name after the purge OR just told Hurley that was his last name when he realized the Oceanic survivors were calling his group the "others". Ethan Rom is an anagram for Other Man.
Also why do you keep calling him the Man in Locke as if the smoke was inside Locke's body? Locke's body was in the box. The smoke monster/adversary is just making himself look like Locke.
Need you ask? Our hot, exciting,energetic, Feisty Kate has that rumoured mysterious power over men that is sadly lacking in so many ordinary mortal women. Our vacuous goddess of the island is going to always come up smelling like a sweaty rose, though if there was any justice she would have been the one at the bottom of a pit hugging a nuclear bomb.
For a "filler episode," this post sparked some feisty comments! Feisty!
Any episode centered on Kate is automatically "filler".
sooooo, did I dream that pretty much the last line in the episode was "because that's what killed your sister...."?
wasn't that quite a revelation, or did I have large blackouts in seasons past?
I think the "zombie" reference was a shout-out to one of Damon&Carlton's frequent jokes on the podcast. They always said that if the show went on for too many seasons they would have to do one that was all-zombie...
He said, "Because it's what happened to your sister," and it wasn't quite the last line, so you weren't exactly dreaming, but maybe drifted off before the end (where Jim sees Claire in a bad wig)? It's okay, either way.
I meant, Jin sees Claire. Okay, now I'm drifting off...
I wish I would have read your post. But unfortunately the code is messed up on my end. Is it just me? I can barely see the box for leaving comments. You may want to give it a check...
Io ora leggo bene...
