I’m intrigued by the new mystery of who’s in the coffin. (My money’s on MIchael.) And I think we got a clue as to the relevance of the 70s rock group “Geronimo Jackson”. I think one of its members is a member of the Dharma Initiative, the one who programmed the communications jammer with the Beach Boys.

(I also think Sawyer’s dad is pictured on the cover of that Geronimo Jackson album and that’s how he made the money which Sawyer/Cooper stole.)

Anoter question:

At the end of the episode Jack says that he is sick of lying. “No, I’m sick (pause) of LYING!!” Lying about what? Did Oceanic give them the golden pass to shut them up about the details of their crash? Or is his current life a lie? Or is he sick of saying he made the right decision by getting off the island? OR was he just making a reference to his hideously fake beard? Arrrgh! So many questions!

The vison of Walt that Loke saw could have been the ‘black cloud’ that took the form of Echo’s brother. We know it can take shape and apparently read minds to change its form to something we recognize. This could be the communion with the island that Ben had spoke of.

As for the timeline, this is going to sound really really nerdy, but I guess that’s what happens in a Lost blog thread… Jack was using a KRZR phone which came out last fall. Their plane crashed on the island in 2004 and they were on the island for something like three or four months, right?

So if you do the math the flash-forwards might have taken place anytime after the fall of 2006, assuming Jack waited for his contract to expire before getting a new phone.

And Kevin, thanks for pointing out the Sayid leg-induced neck snap. I remember thinking that that was way cool and worthy of many props.

clarification question: time-wise, exactly how far “back to the future” was that flash-forward? i couldn’t quite place it. when caught sneaking around in the hospital’s med closet, didn’t jack say something to the younger doctor like, “how many years have i worked here?!”, implying that it had been awhile? therein rests my confusion. did jack work at that same hospital before the crash, and we’re to assume that his old bosses let him return to the job after the rescue/escape?

Oh, and to write something that actually has any relevance, agreed, totally kickass episode. Although Gin might need some new contacts, and I would think one of the other shooters might have had enough range on their bullets to help out and maybe hit the next tent 10 feet over, too.

I didn’t get it was a flash forward until Kate walked out either, and it was awesome. Sayid tripping the guy and breaking his neck with his legs was awesome, and Sawyer shooting Tom was great to me–enough with the “Sure, I’ll listen to your plan–maybe we can all be friends, and you’ll actually tell the truth this time” stuff. Hell of an episode, even though I am now feeling kind of depressed because of it.

Offhand, I can’t think of a wig worth saying is the definite worst–although it was pretty silly to have Claire’s hair turn black, which is how they signified she was a younger and brattier teen who had issues with her mom. All kids with parental issues dye their hair black, right?

But I’m going to go off the board here, and say that the most ridiculous thing in that vein I can think of is from the horrible Studio 60, when there was a flashback episode about 8-10 years in the past, and how did they make Matthew Perry younger? They put a hat on him. A baseball hat. Backwards.

NBC tonight at 10, catch it!
