Lost 2/2/10 LA X (Parts 1 and 2) Spoilers

I have to admit that for some reason I didn't initially guess that when Hurley saw Jacob near the van that it was because he was dead. I knew he was dead, but I figured he'd jumped around or something, I dunno. So was Jacob human? The finale from last season had left the impression that Jacob and blackshirt were two of the same type of whatever.. Jacob can be stabbed, and killed? But anyway when he told Hurley that others wouldn't see him, I was like "oohhhhhhh.... awwww..".

Very interesting that Richard was SO concerned about the Others NOT shooting fake Locke (because THAT was probably still against the rules).

Good episodes, if you accept the assumption that it will be resolved satisfactorily. How many episodes in this season?

Was anyone else routing for Sawyer to kill Jack?

 

It's like that every season though. Most of the scenes that made season five awesome were made possible by setup scenes in earlier seasons that people booed here.

 

That's certain money. Couldn't have been more clear on that one, I agree. Jacob made him "that way" (presumably that he couldn't age). I wonder why blackshirt took Richard, and where was he taking him? (Presumably to the temple?)

Very much enjoyed both the scene where the van guy was able to protect himself from smokey with ash, and then where smokey was able to defeat him by smashing walls around him to get him to fall out of the ash.

 

How did Juliete know that "it worked"? (Especially after just having said that it didn't work a few minutes before that)

So we've officially seen two versions of the same time - the 815 flight (and hints of changes predating the flight - like Hurley never having anything bad happen to him, Desmond presumably completing his solo/solar(ha) race around the world, etc. That should lend a bit more credibility to our observation that the picture frames changed on the wall of the grieving mother that Miles brought the dustbuster to.

And what the hell happened to Desmond on this version of the flight?

BTW, LAX without the space is the luggage code for Los Angeles International Airport, for whomever was confused about the X.

 

Yeah I remember thinking at the time "ok, going to need to look for a resolution as to what was going through Miles' head right then". I'd imagined there was some awful secret of Sayid's that Miles had just discovered. I'll bet you're right. Have to rewatch.

 

and multiple scenes with Frogurt!
