Just my attempt to summarize the episode and get as many questionable details that I noticed in one place. Maybe it'll jog some memories. Hope it helps. Feel free to discuss what you think, or try to expand on or debunk some ideas.
Enjoy!
- Dan working on the Orchid, perhaps this explains his working knowledge of time-travel.
- Dharma continues to be talking one way and walking another. They claim peace, but seem constantly have a conflict with someone. The theatrics are not helping.
- The Arrow = Intelligence station on hostiles?
- Ah Jack...he's not quite so eloquent when he's stoned out of his mind.
- Ben knows what happened after the Island moved, and I'm convinced he's holding back from Jack. Why?
- Augustini....that's gotta be an obscure name reference there. And sure enough, it is.
- John Locke remains and everyone else disappears...because they were already on the Island at the time it went to? Maybe? Time-travel is so hard to follow sometimes.
- Juliet and Sawyer better shake off that rum, they're problem solving skills seem to be lacking as a result of alcohol consumption.
- Which may explain why Sawyer's so angry...he's drunk. :p
- Sawyer just bitch slaps Dan, and Dan takes it and just gives in to Sawyer. Most interesting dynamic forming between those two.
- In Dan's explaination, how did Dan know Ben moved the Island?
- Locke sees the Nigerian plane crash. Does that mean his visions from Season 1 were not visions, but memories?
- Locke's dream/vision of climbing the roots and getting knocked off. Another memory, except he gets shot off?
- Enter Ethan Rom...I'd be interested to see if we ever see Ethan and John interact in the first season. Just to see how Ethan reacts.
- Oceanic & Widmore...now there's an interesting connection that could prove a useful lead.
- Hurley eating junk food...appropriate.
- Who were the two guys ready to ambush Sayid in the 'safehouse' ? Obviously they wanted him alive. The Economist wanted him alive...
- Interesting detail. Dan has spent his whole adult life learning this time-travel stuff... why add that detail? There's a reason, there always is.
- Dr. Richard Alpert to the rescue
- "Well, you will tell me." This line bothers the heck out of me. It throws continuity for a loop. So a future John tells future Richard who goes back to the past to fix a past John.
- Notice what Alpert is wearing? He was wearing that outfit when John Locke was with the Others when he was supposed to kill his father. That may be a detail that could show us some more of the time line.
- "You don't understand right now, but you need to know what you need to do." Another ambiguous line that we have no clue about but will be important later I feel.
- "You moved, John. We didn't." Why did John move, and no one else? Was it because he (John) wasn't on the Island to when it moved to and the others were, so they couldn't go back or else potentially run into themselves? (Not likely, as Sawyer and the rest were on the Island after the 815 crash. But maybe)
- "Its a compass, it points north." Classic line to John Locke. People treating him like a child.
- Some of this sounds like pre-ressurection Biblical stories. The true test of faith will be when he knows what he has to do, straight forward, and he has to do it.
- 'I ain't starting over, Dilbert.' Classic Sawyer is back, and I love it.
- 20 years for Charles Widmore to find the Island. Does that correlate back to any on-Island event. (circa 1984).....yes it does. The infamous "incident" took place sometime around 1984-1985.
- Dan's journal really does seem to be a huge source of information. Why doesn't he consult this thing more often. And why aren't we shown what he reads in the journal prior to trying to contact Desmond.
- Desmond: "Do I know you?"
Daniel: "Yeah...in a way."
Daniel is breaking his own rule, or at least trying to break it with someone with whom the rules 'do not apply'...Not to mention this little exchange could be interesting later.
- Enter Desmond, who must return to Oxford to find another member of the Faraday family to explain just what the hell is going on. Lovely.
Enjoy!
