23 Questions About Lost Episode 605 'Lighthouse', Answered!
Where should Hurley write down the very important things that Jacob is about to tell him, if he can't find a piece of paper or a notepad laying around?
The underside of his forearm will do. He's a big dude, there's plenty of room on that fleshy canvas for all the cryptic instructions he'll need to keep the plot moving forward.
Good to see Claire again, right? So, um, what's in the creepy bassinet over there?
Oh, that? Nothing, really. It's just a disturbing baby-doll made from some old clothes and decaying animal bones she had laying around. Haha! You know, just to keep the blankets warm until she gets Aaron back.
And what's up with the dynamite?
[Glares]
And the axe?
[Buries axe in the gut of the guy who was OBVIOUSLY LYING TO HER about WHERE IS AARON NEED AARON BACK YOU LYING LIAR KATE DOES NOT HAVE HIM THE OTHERS HAVE HIM I AM CRAZIER THAN A BATSHIT FRENCH LADY DO NOT MESS WITH ROUCLAIRE]
Have you also obsessively been searching the commercials for clues?
OMG WE HAVE! Check it out: Yaz is not only a birth-control pill with a really off-putting name, but it's the nickname of Boston Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski, which is important because as we know, Jack Shephard is a huge Sox fan and Dogen has the 2004 World Series final-out baseball. We're still working through what this means, but it's a clue of some kind, obviously related to the fertility problems that beset the island women.
Something's also up with that Old Spice guy on the horse, with the two tickets to that thing you love. Suspicious.
Where was Sawyer?
Our best guess: Just chilling at the Otherville Mall, maybe shopping at American Girl Place for a better doll for Claire, then enjoying a delicious Orange Linus at the food court. It's his downtime, he can do with it as he pleases.
Why haven't we seen that lighthouse before?
Because they didn't want us to see it. Don't give us that look. You know what look we're talking about, just cut it out. The island's a really big place, the castaways couldn't possibly have scoured every inch of coastline in five seasons of wandering around, so they easily could've missed it. Especially if it's a magical lighthouse, which it totally is.
What did you think was inside it?
We expected that after Jack kicked in the jammed door and they climbed a winding staircase, he and Hurley would find Cuse and Lindelof sitting calmly at a desk, ready to yank a white sheet from off a whiteboard upon which was scribbled the explanation for every island mystery in almost insultingly obvious terms. And then it would turn out that Hurley isn't actually Jack's pal, he's just another executive producer tasked with helping the troubled doctor act out his psychological issues in the most ambitious role-play ever attempted in the history of island-based brain-doctoring.
So the wheel and the names and the numbers were a letdown?
The cave with the scale and the rocks and the names and the numbers were still pretty fresh in the mind, so color us a bit unimpressed with the latest "hey check out this new place with names and numbers everywhere!" location.
But: 108? There's a bunch of 108 in there!
Oh hell yes! 108! 108 is back! We love 108!
Why did Jacob allow Jack to smash the enchanted mirror inside his magical lighthouse?
How else will Jack see how important he is? There are some people you can hop in a cab with and just say, "Hey, dude, this is what's up, you feel me?" But there are some people you need to lead up into a lighthouse to show some mind-blowing sh*t they're not quite equipped to handle, which they will then attempt to destroy in the futile hope that destruction will give them some measure of control over an increasingly nonsensical world. And then you give them some me-time on the beach, hoping the gentle pounding of the surf supplants the screams of DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES echoing in their heads, and they can finally start to put aside their self-esteem issues and realize how special they are. That's why, dude.
This episode was pretty old school, wasn't it?
Just Jack and Hurley trekking through the jungle on their way to do something they don't really understand. Good times.
SmokeLocke and Claire are doing it, aren't they?
They are definitely doing it! If Claire's not careful, he's gonna put a smokey skullbaby all up inside her. She's in a very emotionally fragile state, so she should probably avoid getting involved with shape-shifting bad-boys who run around in the bodies of the few available father figures on the island just to creep on her. Claire deserves better than that, even if she's sort of an axe murderer now.

ugh. i hate jack. i dont know if its the character or matthew fox. i remember feeling exactly the same towards charlie back on party of five... so maybe its fox, he has this douche-ness about him... its very hard to pinpoint. he is handsome, and not a bad actor, there's just something about him that irks me.
or it might be jack, and his stubbornness and attitude, and the fact that he must be really stupid not to know that they are a crazy island where crazy things happen, even after they time travelled and he's seen his dead father walking around.
also him being so obsessive and unable to let go, and in the way injuring and killing the people around him.
One more question:
So Jack just left, uh, COFFINS and DEAD CORPSES in the caves when he moved everyone in during Season One? And he wondered why he had such trouble enticing people!
If you look closely at the photos, David is wearing a baseball uniform. It's clear that he is in Little League, his team is the Dodger's and he took the pics with Jack after a Saturday game when they went out for Pizza at Chuck E Cheese or something. Sheesh.
Davids mother has GOT to be........Juliett.......
No, David's mom is Julie Bowen and she is now on Modern Family...she booked a gig as a regular and it's a hit so she doesn't need the hassle of flying off ot Oahu and possibly missing one of Ed O'Neil's witty quips...also, Desmond kept trying to get in her pants and it freaked her out.
Yes. It was the hiding the spare key in the fertile yet ceramic bunny that clinched it for me.
Well, the corpses were there when he found them, and the coffin was empty, after all!
why does no one care about the gratuitous ShavedShirtless!Jack vs. the OriginalRecipeHirsuteShirtless!Jack??? In a show where Everything! Means! Something!, shouldn't this gratuitous..ness mean Something?!?!
(brought to you by the exclamation point "!")
So, Claire is Jack's sister, right?
and don't you think the animal in the crib is the dead Golden Retriever (I can't remember his name...)
Ah, right: Vincent! That's interesting. And disturbing, too.
If being "claimed" makes your accent wobble, then how come Claire sounds as "Auckah as evah?"
Thankfully, Vincent is alive and well and living with Rose and Bernard in the jungle, as seen in the season finale (or somewhere around there). Vincent's the one who led Juliette and company to Rose and Bernard's camp.
Our Chuck E. Cheese is found in Florence, KY. The first thing they are doing is stamp your hands after you come back through the doors. This can be to keep the proper parents with the proper children. A security thing that appears to work pretty great.
For instance, egg whites have 89% protein, but egg whites are similar in its nutrition per calorie as to eating sweet corn that usually has only about 15% protein. So even though the higher protein egg whites ‘look’ good IF ALL you look at is the protein content, it is really not much better for you than sweet corn.
