omg, where to start in picking apart last night's thrilling and chilling premiere? OMG! O.....M.....G!
1. That was so cool, how the episode started in the hatch itself, so I thought at first "okay, this is part of someone's back story", especially when I saw the old, worn-down "Execute" button on the computer, obviously indicating an ancient model, circa about 1985 (how weird that 1985 is now ancient! but I digress!), and then of course the record player, albums (circa about mid-1970's or even earlier) and lava lamp (circa anytime starting about 1971). Obviously, we have gone back in time to someone's back story, thought I! But then when it became obvious that it was INSIDE the hatch, what a weird feeling, and when he injected himself with something, I thought "AHA! Aaaaah-HAAA! I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT: There was some sort of biological military experimentation gone bad and now the survivors there have to regularly inject themselves with something to counteract whatever "it" is that would otherwise kill them! A-frickin'-HA!
2. However, as the show went on, I realized that my whole "military experimentation gone bad" working theory must not be EXACTLY correct, because:
3. I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT about the, what I call, "off-island others", those "others" who are working with the others on the island but are mixing and mingling among our Lostaways during their pre-Oceanic-flight-815 lives! I knew that guy who interacted with Jack during his "tour-de-stad" was the guy from the hatch! I could tell by his build and hair, and then when he said "See you in another life", it was like, once again "Aha! Aha!" *LOL*!!! Another life, as in, a life on the island! Also, cute play on words, btw, with see you in "another", as in: "an OTHER" life! Kudos to the bril writers for that one!
:biggrin:
4. So, my "gone bad" part of the "military experiments" theory might not be right afterall, as apparently, whatever is going on, is STILL going on, as in, very much active and FUNDED/SUPPORTED by someone/something/some government/some corporations or SOMETHING, because how are all these off-island others going back and forth to the island as the one who interacted with Jack did? I feel like Claire's psychic was another one, possibly powerful people like "Piek" (spelling?) and Locke's daddio are in on "it", whatever "it" is. I mean, this is not just some rogue band of survivors of some long-ago and abandoned military experimentation, as I had thought. Yet their equipment, such as computer systems, etc., is old/not updated. But somehow there is MONEY flowing into this thing still, it was not "abandoned". I sorta started figuring this out last season, again due to all the off-island others. I mean, whatever this "thing" is, whatever is going on, it is BIG, involving lots of people on the outside if my theory about Locke's surgery is right. I don't think the "dad" needed a kidney at all, I think they wanted to operate on him for some other reason(s).
5. Sarah being okay even though her spinal cord was not "fixed". That "other" who talked to Jack in the tour de stad and then who held Locke at gun-point at the very end, did he somehow do something to Sarah to create the "miracle"? Did he inject her with something or do SOMETHING, similar to what was done to Locke, to enable the others to have her walk again or be incapacitated at will? That would tie in to the biological experimentation theory! Perhaps Sarah and Locke are unwitting guinea pigs!!! Perhaps the others were never experimenting with biological warfare, but rather with some biological thaaaang that can help spinal cord injuries such as Sarah and Locke's?
6. Locke: Okay, the man is my FAVE character in my FAVE show of all time (well, the show is tied with "I Love Lucy", of course), but I think it was a pretty daft decision on his part to decide to go down the hatch in the middle of the night all alone. Even though he apparently figured out that Kate would come along and partner up with him in this, couldn't they have waited the THREE HOURS until daylight, at least? But, I guess he figured, what good will daylight do me once I get down there? But still, if I see a big-fonted "QUARANTINE" on some mysterious hatch in the middle of nowhere, I am outta there *lol*!!!! I think Sayid was right last season when he said that the possibility of it being dangerous to go down there is much more likely than of it being a safe place!
Anyway, I'm at work *LOL* and I have to go, but those are just my first thoughts, what are yours? I taped it, so I will watch it over and over again, no doubt. I need to be injected with some sort of antidote to LOST addiction...however, if there is a cure for this, I don't want it!!!!!!! If there's a remedy, I'll run from it! Sorry, temporarily channeled Diana Ross there for a second, but I'm back!
P.S. oOoooOOOOOH! How could I forget to bring up the whole Walt sighting? What do we make of that? I think Shannon definitely really saw SOMETHING, whether it was Walt himself or some sort of holographic projection of Walt that the others wanted her to see. I don't know, but I tend to think she really saw Walt somehow. I mean, that would explain why Vincent took off into the woods, too. If Vincent could smell or sense that Walt was nearby, he would have taken off after him! Also, Walt was dripping wet, as if he had just gotten out of the water. And he was (apparently, hard to tell!) warning Shannon to be quiet (were the others right behind him, on his tail?) and stay away. What was weird was the nightmareish quality to it, like you couldn't really understand what Walt was saying, and also he had a strange look to him, sort of zombie-esque. I think the LOST team is great at doing "nightmareish". Remember Locke's dream and "Teresa fell up and down the stairs"? Shudder! This was sorta like that...only I think Shannon really saw SOMETHING...possibly really Walt.
Anyway!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! Last but not least, I loved when Hurley told Jack about the numbers, Jack responded totally off-point with something like "You were in a psych ward?", and then--you GOTTA love him--Hurley said something like "What's that thing where a doctor makes you feel better just by talking to you?", Jack said "Bedside manner", and then Hurley replied "Yeah, that, you suck at that." LOL!
Anyway, bottom line: There is some sort of military experimentation, or Biosphere II Gone Wild type of thing going on down there! Can't wait to learn more!!!!!
