Spinning a thread, a man, wearing sandals, a white shirt, appearing to be 1800s era, making a tapestry, working on it, combing the thread, a fire is burning in the room, he goes outside, on the beach, he goes out into the water, grabs a trap, with a fish inside, he takes it to the beach, it's a red herring, he cuts a fillet off, puts the fish on a rock, which is on top of a fire, he cooks the fish, then puts it on a leaf, he looks out at a ship in the distance, possibly the Black Rock.

A man comes out, walking down the beach, he's wearing a black shirt, he says good morning, asks if the man in white minds if he joins him, the man in white says please, asks if he wants some fish, the man in black says thank you, but he just ate, the man in white says he takes it he's there because of the ship, the man in black says that he is, he asks how they found the island, the man in white says you'll have to take it up with them when they get here, the man in black says that he doesn't have to ask, that the man in white brought them here, the man in black says that he's still trying to prove him wrong, isn't he, the man in white says that he is wrong, the man in black asks is he, he says that they come, they fight, they destroy, they corrupt, it always ends the same, the man in white says that it only ends once, that anything that happens before that is just progress, the man in black asks if he has any idea how badly he wants to kill him, the man in white says yes, the man in black says that, one of these days, sooner or later, he's going to find a loophole, my friend, the man in white says that when he does, he'll be right there, the man in black says that it's always nice talking to you, Jacob, who says it's always nice talking to him too.

"I take it you're here because of the ship." Jacob "I am. How did they find the Island?" Man in Black "You'll have to ask 'em when they get here." Jacob "I don't have to ask. You brought them here. Still trying to prove me wrong, aren't you?" Man in Black "You are wrong." Jacob "Am I? They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same." Man in black "It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress. " Jacob
"Do you have any idea how badly I want to kill you?" Man in Black "Yes." Jacob "One of these days, sooner or later... I'm going to find a loophole, my friend." Man in Black "Well, when you do, I'll be right here." Jacob

Near a farm, across from a field, two kids stand behind a truck, a girl and a boy, the girl asks are you going to do it, the boy says no, the girl says, fine, she'll do it, but he's going to be lookout, okay, he says okay, they go into a store, Patsy Cline plays on the radio, the boy watches while the store clerk helps a customer, the boy stands by the door and watches the clerk with the customer, the girl goes to the back of the aisle and steals a lunchbox, the two kids begin to leave, but the store clerk stops them when they're on their way out, he asks what they have, he tells the girl to open her bag, he takes out a New Kids on the Block lunchbox, asks where she got it, she says she got it over there, she points to where she got it, the man says that he knows her, that she's Diane Austen's girl, he asks what her name is, she says Katie, he says that he's calling her mom, then the cops, because they don't tolerate stealing there, he asks if she understands, a man comes in, he says there's no need to do that, that he'll pay for it, he gives the store clerk some money, he says that he hopes this is enough, the man is Jacob, the store clerk says that as long as someone pays for it, he guesses there's no harm done, but he tells Kate that he doesn't ever want to see her in there again without her parents, he asks her if she understands him, she nods, Jacob gives Katie the lunchbox, Katie says thanks, Jacob says you're welcome, he asks if she's not going to steal anymore, is she, she shakes her head no, he tells her to be good, Katie, then he touches her on the nose, Katie and the boy leave.

Kate is handcuffed, on the submarine, Sawyer and Juliet with her, the submarine Captain is doing some system checks before submerging to their optimum depth, he says they should be receiving their sedatives, he tells them to have a nice rest, see them on the other side, Kate says they have to get out of there, Sawyer says they're underwater, asks what the hell she's doing there, how she got caught, Kate says that she came back for him, Sawyer asks for what, Juliet asks where's Jack, Kate says that he's on his way to blow up a hydrogen bomb, Sawyer asks why the hell he would do that, Kate says does it matter, that they have to stop him, Sawyer says sorry, but he's going to pass, Kate asks if he heard what she just said, Sawyer says that he heard it, but she just doesn't get it, that they were happy until they showed up, and now that's all over, so they're going to drink their OJ and takes their chances in the real world, and if Jack wants to blow up the island, good for Jack.
In the tunnels, Jack asks Sayid if there's anything in Faraday's notebook about how they're supposed to move a 10-ton bomb across the island, Sayid says that actually, it's 20-tons, and fortunately Faraday never intended to freight the device in its entirety, Eloise asks what, Sayid says that he left detailed instructions on how to remove the plutonium core, and how to detonate it, Jack says that Faraday told him that they needed to wipe out some kind of pocket of energy, he asks Sayid if only part of the bomb is going to be enough to do that, Sayid says that the core of the bomb itself is a thermonuclear weapon, and that it'll be more than enough, Richard says to wait, he tells them that they sealed that thing up 30 years ago, and put it underground because it was omitting radiation, he asks Eloise if this sounds like a good idea to her, he says that she's pregnant, Eloise says which is exactly why they have to help them see this through, she says that once the core is removed, then what, Sayid says then they have approximately two hours to take it to The Swan site, Jack asks two hours, Sayid says that when Faraday returned to the island, he was very explicit about his timetable, Jack says well then, they'd better get moving. From Lostpedia
At The Swan site, Radzinsky shows up in DHARMA van, gets out, asks who stopped the damn drill, Pierre Chang is there, he says that he did, Radzinsky asks why, Pierre says that when they passed 70 meters, the drill temperature went up 60 degrees and he didn't want it to melt, Radzinsky says that's why they have a truck full of water, to cool it off, Pierre says they just evacuated the island, that they're in the midst of a possible insurrection, he asks does he really think this is the right time for his experiments, Radzinsky says that he's been working on this project for six years, designing a station that would be able to manipulate electromagnetic energy in ways that they could only dream of, Pierre asks if he's thought of the consequences of drilling into that pocket, they have no idea, Radzinsky says that if Edison was only thinking about consequences, he'd still be sitting in the dark, he says that he came to the island to change the world, and that's exactly what he intends to do, he yells for them to get it started, he puts the drill back on.
"I've been working on this project for six years. Designing a station that'll be able to manipulate electromagnetism in ways we only dreamed of." Radzinsky "Have you thought about the consequences of drilling into that pocket?" Pierre "If Edison was only worried about the consequences, we'd all still be sitting in the dark. I came to this Island to change the world, Pierre; that's exactly what I intend to do." Radzinsky
Thirty years later--the others trekking on the rocky shore, Locke says to take five, that they still have a ways to go to get to Jacob, they all stop, Sun asks Ben who Jacob is, Ben says that he's in charge of this island, Sun says that he said John was in charge, Ben says no, he said that he was the leader, a tittle that he's discovered is incredibly temporary, but everyone answers to someone, and the leader answers to Jacob, Sun asks what's he like, Ben says he doesn't know, he's never met him.
"Who's Jacob?" Sun "He's in charge of this Island." Ben "You said John was in charge." Sun "No, I said he was the leader, a title that I've discovered is incredibly temporary. But everyone answers to someone, and the leader answers to Jacob." Ben "What's he like?" Sun "I don't know, Sun. I've never met him." Ben
Locke tells Richard he's been staring for the last ten minutes, asks if there's something he'd like to ask him, Richard says that Ben said he strangled him, Locke says to his recollection, yes, Richard says that Ben said he was sure he was dead, that he loaded his coffin on to the plane, Richard asks how that's possible, Locke says that Richard has been on the island longer than anyone, that if anyone should have an explanation for this, it would be him, Richard says that he has been there a long time, and he's seen things on the island that he could barely describe, but he's never seen someone come back alive, Locke says and he's never seen someone that doesn't age, but that doesn't mean it can't happen, Richard says he's this way because of Jacob, and if he had to guess, he'd say that's why he's not in that coffin, Locke says that he agrees completely, that's why he's doing this, so he can thank him, and once he's done that, they're going to have to deal with the rest of the passengers on the Ajira flight that brought him there, Richard asks what he means, Locke says that he knows what he means, he tells everyone let's go.
"He said he was sure you were dead. That he saw your coffin loaded onto that plane that you came back on. How are you alive?" Richard "Well, you've been on this Island much longer than I have, Richard. If anyone should have an explanation, I'd think it would be you." Locke "I have been here a long time, John. And I have seen things on this Island that I could barely describe, but I've never seem someone come back to life." Richard "And I've never seen anyone who doesn't age. Doesn't mean it can't happen." Locke "I'm this way because of Jacob. And if I had to guess, he's the reason you're not in that coffin anymore." Richard

Walking on the beach, Locke leads, they get to a camp, which is completely destroyed, Sun says this is their old camp, Locke says home sweet home, he tells everyone that Richard says they're supposed to get to where they're going by night fall, so they should take this opportunity to rest up and catch their breaths, he says that considering what he has planned for them, they're going to need it, they all settle at the beach camp.
Ben sits on the beach, Locke goes over to talk to him, he notices something on the beach, he asks if everything is alright, Ben says that he was enjoying some alone time, Locke asks if he sees what's behind him, Ben looks, and it's the QUARANTINE door to the hatch, Ben says that it's a door, how about that, Locke says that it's not just a door, Ben, it's the door to the hatch, where he and Ben first met, Locke asks if he minds if he asks him a question, Ben says that he's a Pisces, Locke smiles, he asks what happened that day at the cabin, when he first took him to meet Jacob, Ben says that he clearly already knows that he was talking to an empty chair, that he was pretending, which is not to say that he wasn't as surprised as he was when things started flying around the room, Locke asks then why would he go through all the trouble to make something like that up, Ben says that he was embarrassed, he didn't want him to know that he had never seen Jacob, so yes, he lied, he says that's what he does, Locke says alright then, he gets up to leave, Ben asks why he wants him to kill Jacob, Locke says because, despite his loyal service to this island, he got cancer, that he had to watch his own daughter gunned down right in front of him, and his reward for those sacrifices were that he was banished, and he did that all in the name of a man he'd never even met, he says so the question is, Ben, why the hell wouldn't he want to kill Jacob. From Lostpedia
"Not just a door, Ben. It's the door to the hatch. Where you and I first met." Locke
"What happened that day at the cabin? When you first took me to meet Jacob?" Locke "Well, you clearly already know that I was talking to an empty chair, John. That I was pretending. Which is not to say that I wasn't as surprised as you were when things started flying around the room." Ben "But why would go to all the trouble to make something like that up?" Locke "I was embarrassed. I didn't want you to know that I had never seen Jacob. So yes, I lied. That's what I do." Ben
"Why do you want me to kill Jacob, John?" Ben "Because, despite your loyal service to this Island, you got cancer. You had to watch your own daughter gunned down right in front of you. And your reward for those sacrifices? You were banished. And you did all this in the name of a man you'd never even met. So, the question is, Ben, why the hell wouldn't you want to kill Jacob?" Locke

In the jungle, Jack gets out of the van, he asks Kate what's going on, Sawyer says they have to talk, Jack says if they want to talk, then get in the van, they don't have time, Sawyer says that he's not getting in the van, that he needs five minutes, that's all, to say what he has to say, and then he can do whatever the hell he wants, but he's going to listen, he says that Jack owes him that much, Jack says okay, five minutes, Sawyer leaves his gun to Juliet, they go into the jungle.
Jack is operating, he cuts the Dural sac, asks for suction, his dad, Christian Shephard, tells him to calm down, tells him that it's alright, but Jack is freaking out, he asks for suction again, Christian tells him to look at him, he says to count to five, Jack asks what he's talking about, Christian says that he's talking about him stitching up the sack so this girl isn't paralyzed for the rest of her life, and the only way he's going to do that is not to be afraid, he says so close your eyes, count to five, and then fix her, or he'll have to fix her for him, Jack takes a minute, closes his eyes, counts to five, and gets back to work.
"Jack... look at me. Count to five." Christian "What are you talking about?" Jack "I'm talking about you stitching up the sac so this girl isn't paralyzed for the rest of her life. And the only way you're gonna do that is not to be afraid. So, close your eyes, count to five, and then fix her, Jack. Or I'll have to fix her for you." Christian [Monitor continues beeping steadily] "One... [sighs] two... three... four... five. Sutures." Jack
After the surgery, Jack is at a vending machine, getting an Apollo Bar out, but it gets stuck, Jack hits the machine, Christian comes in, says hey kiddo, tells Jack that the girl is in recovery, that she's responsive to stimulus below the waist, so no paralysis, Jack says good, Christian asks if something is wrong, Jack says that he embarrassed him, Christian asks did he, Jack says that it's bad enough that everyone in the hospital thinks that he got this residency because his father is the Chief of Surgery, but then he puts him in a time-out during his first major procedure, in front of his entire team, he says that he knows that he doesn't believe in him, but he needs them to, Christian asks if he's sure that he's the one that doesn't believe in him, he leaves.
"You know, it's bad enough that everybody in this hospital thinks the only reason I got this residency is because you're my father. But then you... [sighs] you put me in a time-out during my first major procedure, in front of my entire team. [Sighs] Dad, I know you don't believe in me, but I need them to." Jack "Are you sure I'm the one who doesn't believe in you, Jack?" Christian
A man uses the vending machine, he gets an Apollo Candy Bar too, getting Jack's as well, he asks Jack if one of them is his, Jack comes over to get it, he says the machine got stuck, the man he talks to is Jacob, he says he guesses that it just needed a little push, he gives Jack the other Apollo Bar, Jack smiles, he leaves.

"My folks died when I was 8 years old. I ever tell you that?" Sawyer "No." Jack "Con man took my dad for everything he had. He didn't deal with it very well. He shot my mom, then he blew his own head off. I was hiding under the bed when it happened. I heard the whole thing." Sawyer "I'm sorry." Jack "Yeah. That was a year ago." Sawyer "What?" Jack "Right now it's July 1977, which means that happened last year. So I could've hopped on the sub, gone back to the States, walked right in my house and stopped my daddy from killing anybody." Sawyer "Why didn't you?" Jack "Because, Jack... what's done is done." Sawyer
"What did you screw up so bad the first time around you're willing to blow up a damn nuke just for a second chance?" Sawyer "Three years ago, Locke told me that all this was happening for a reason, that us being here was our destiny." Jack "I don't speak "destiny". What I do understand is a man does what he does 'cause he wants something for himself. What do you want, Jack?" Sawyer
"Jack... if what you're doin' even works, you and Kate will be strangers, and she'll be in damn handcuffs." Sawyer "If it's meant to be, it's meant to be." Jack
"That's because he's right." Juliet "What?!" Sawyer "He's right, James. We have to do this." Juliet "What are you talking about?! You're the one that told me to come back here and stop him! What happened?!" Sawyer "I changed my mind." Juliet

From Lostpedia
"Yes. But... we need you both to understand that your father and I... we still love each other. Just because two people love each other, doesn't always mean they're supposed to be together." Mother
Sawyer walks after Juliet in the jungle, he tells her to stop, he says they have to talk about this, Juliet says that there's nothing to talk about, that they have to let Jack do what he came there to do, Sawyer says that maybe she should have told him that she had a change of heart before he brought him out into the jungle to kick his ass, Juliet asks if that would have stopped him, Sawyer says no, Juliet says then she's glad that he finally got it out of his system, she walks away form him, Sawyer runs after her, grabs her arm, but she says don't, he says that he needs her to tell him where all of this is coming from, he says that one minute she's leading the great sub escape, and now she's on board with blowing up the damn island, he says he has a right to know why she changed her mind, Juliet says that she changed her mind when she saw him look at her, Sawyer says that he doesn't care who he looked at, that he's with her, Juliet says that she knows that he would stay with her forever if she let him, and that is why she'll always love him, she says that what they had was just for a little while, and just because they love eachother, doesn't mean that they're meant to be together, she says maybe they were never supposed to be together, so if Jack can make it so none of them ever come there, then he should, Sawyer asks why she's doing this, Juliet says if she never meets him, then she never has to lose him, she cries, walks away. From Lostpedia
"I need you to tell me where all this is coming from. I mean, one minute, you're leading the great sub escape, and now you're on board with blowing up the damn Island? I got a right to know why you changed your mind." Sawyer
"I don't care who I looked at. I'm with you." Sawyer "And you would stay with me forever if I let you, and that is why I will always love you. What we had, it was just for a little while, and just because we love each other, it doesn't mean that we're meant to be together. I mean, maybe we were never supposed to be together. So, if Jack can make it that--that none of you ever come here, then he should." Juliet "Why you doing this, Juliet?" Sawyer "[Voice breaks] I... if I never meet you, then I never have to lose you." Juliet

"You like it? I did it myself. It takes a very long time when you're making the thread, but, uh... I suppose that's the point, isn't it?" Jacob "Hello, Jacob." Locke "Well, you found your loophole." Jacob "Indeed I did. And you have no idea what I've gone through to be here." Locke
Jacob says Benjamin, whatever he's told you, he wants him to understand one thing, that he has a choice, Ben says what choice, Jacob says that he can do what he asks, or he can go, leave them to discuss their issues, Ben says oh, so now after all this time, he's decided to stop ignoring him, he says 35 years he's lived on this island and all he ever heard was his name over and over, Richard would bring him his instructions, all those slips of paper, all those lists, and he never questioned anything, he did as he was told, but when he dared to ask to see him himself, he was told he had to wait, that he had to be patient, but when Locke asked to see him, he gets marched straight up there as if he was Moses, Ben asks Jacob so why Locke, and what was it that was so wrong with him, what about him, Jacob says what about him, seeming to care less, Ben says well, and stabs him two times in the chest.

"Do what I asked you to, Ben." Locke "Benjamin... whatever he's told you, I want you to understand one thing. You have a choice." Jacob "What "choice?" Ben "You can do what he asked, or you can go, leave us to discuss our... issues." Jacob
"Oh... so now, after all this time, you've decided to stop ignoring me. Thirty-five years I lived on this island, and all I ever heard was your name over and over. Richard would bring me your instructions--all those slips of paper, all those lists--and I never questioned anything. I did as I was told. But when I dared to ask to see you myself, I was told, "You have to wait. You have to be patient." But when he asked to see you? He gets marched straight up here as if was Moses. So... why him? Hmm? What was it that was so wrong with me? What about me?!" Ben "What about you?" Jacob
Jacob falls down, he says something, Locke says what, that he can't hear him, Jacob says they're coming, Locke kicks him into the fire, Jacob burns, Locke and Ben watch.

"They're coming." Jacob
Back at The Swan, there is some white noise, Kate yells at Sawyer to get away from the drill, Jack wakes up, Kate says that they have to go, Jack helps Kate get Sawyer, everything begins to get pulled down the hole.
At the bottom, Juliet wakes, she's still alive, with severe injuries, bleeding from the mouth, she cries, she sees the hydrogen core down there with her, she coughs up some blood, she grabs a rock nearby, and hits it, but nothing happens, she hits it again, she says come on, hits it again, and again and again, she says come on you son of a bitch, she hits it one last time, and fade to white, L O S T.

Notes:

The music in the opening sequence with Jacob and the "Man in Black" is so good.
I think I've watched that opening scene about a thousand times.
I find it rather curious that Jacob and the Man in Black are so cordial with eachother. Jacob offers the Man in Black some fish, while the Man in Black calls him "my friend".
In The Shape of Things to Come, Ben talked to Charles Widmore about a the rules and not being able to kill him.
The casting for young Kate is so good. That girl looks exactly like Evangeline Lilly, she even has the same mannerisms as Kate.
The boy who looks out for Kate while she steals the New Kids on the Block lunchbox is Tom Brennan, Kate's childhood friend, the man she loved, and the man she killed, as seen in Born to Run. Tom is also seen holding his toy plane, as seen in Whatever the Case May Be.
Is it just me, or does Stuart Radzinsky not exactly seem like a "change the World" type of dude?
I love how ever since Ben saw Alex in The Temple, he pretty much just tells everyone that he lied about things now. We used to think that Benjamin Linus was the all-knowing character, and now we've discovered that he knew just a little bit and most of it was bullshit.
I love how even Richard Alpert is completely freaked out by John Locke right now.
That was totally Sawyer's uncle that died of a brain tumor.
The casting for young James is also really good.
Richard mentions being off the Island three times to Jack, in order to visit John Locke while he was growing up, as he did in Cabin Fever. Apparently it was Jack who convinced him not to give up on Locke.
It seems as if Jacob is not surprised by Nadia getting hit by a car. The question is, though, was he preventing Sayid's death, or was he ensuring the Nadia died?
Nadia's death is pretty much the saddest thing ever.
I really enjoy when anyone on LOST says the word "lost" in the episode.
Rose and Bernard are the cutest. I really liked that scene. I love how Rose calls them out on all their bullshit. And she's exactly right about it too.
Also, I love Rose and Bernard's theme.
So, Sawyer looks at Kate. So frakking what? Really. SO WHAT.
Juliet touches her stomach when they're leaving Rose and Bernard. Some people think this indicates that Juliet may have been pregnant before she died. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about that.
Rose and Bernard apparently have been stealing DHARMA food for three years without being noticed. Perhaps they stole it from the food drops.
I really do not care for Bram. I'm pretty sure it's the actor.
That cabin looks different to me somehow. I wonder if it's supposed to be the same one that Locke and Ben went to in The Man Behind the Curtain. Ben also admits that he lied about seeing and talking to Jacob in that episode. The circle of ash is broken, which indicates that someone broke it. It may have been Locke, who noticed the ash and touched it when he and Ben visited the cabin. The interesting thing about the cabin is that we were led to believe that it was Jacob's cabin, but it appears that Jacob hasn't been there for a long time, and that's not even where he lives because he's been at the statue. The circle of ash surrounding the cabin indicates that it was somehow keeping someone inside, so perhaps this cabin was not, in fact, Jacob's, but really the Man in Black was being held there, which would be why he would ask John Locke "Help me!"
Jacob is wearing gloves when he visits Ilana.
I really have no idea what the hell Ilana's story is, and to be honest, I'm not all that interested in it. This far along in the series, I can't find myself caring too much about new characters. There's just not enough time to get invested in them.
It appears as though John Locke actually died when his father, Anthony Cooper, pushed him out of the window in The Man From Tallahassee.
Locke points out The Swan station's hatch door, marked QUARANTINE, to Ben, reminding him that was where they met, in One of Them.
Ben can't even tell the truth about his birthday. He is NOT a Pisces. His birthday is in December.
The flashback with Sun and Jin getting married and Jacob visiting them is the only time this season that Sun and Jin are in a scene together.
Also, Sun's wedding dress is different for the third time their wedding has been shown. Some may think this indicates a different timeline or an alternate Universe. At first, I thought it was just a production error and it was no big deal. But, now that's it's been shown differently for the third time, I find it rather curious and it seems as if it may have been done deliberately for whatever reason.
It's amazing what you learn in hindsight. Jack tells the story to Kate in Pilot, Part 1 about counting to five and letting the fear in, but he fails to mention that he completely freaked out and it was his dad that told him to count to five. It's always about you, huh Jack? Jack and Kate also reminisce about Kate sewing up his wounds and Jack telling her the story.
Jack is such a big baby. This episode clearly shows that it wasn't his father, Christian Shephard, that didn't believe in him.
I thought Shephard wasn't on Jacob's list.
Jack tries to get an Apollo Candy Bar out of the vending machine, just like the ones that were in the hatch in Adrift and Everybody Hates Hugo.
Why is Jack always such an angry doctor? Chill out, dude.
I like when Sawyer bosses Jack around. Who's the leader now, bitch?
Jack and Sawyer finally battle eachother to the death. Awesome. Also, Sawyer went for a cheap crotch shot.
Sawyer tells Jack the story which lead to his parents death, from Outlaws. I don't believe that Sawyer has ever actually told this story to anyone. I wonder if he's told Juliet.
Sawyer is completely right about what he says. I also think it shows how much Sawyer has grown as a person. I mean, he even tells Jack to be with Kate after all the fighting over her they've done in the past.
It really pisses me off that Juliet is all over the place. One minute, she wants to stop Jack, then she just up and changes her damn mind. I'd be as confused as Sawyer too.
What the hell is the point of the Juliet flashback? Just to show us that she thinks relationships are doomed and she runs away from them? I found this completely pointless, kind of annoying, and inconsistent, considering all of the flashbacks shown, besides Juliet's, were to point out that Jacob visited people, but it is clear that he did not visit Juliet, so what exactly is the point?
However, I find it very interesting that it is clear, though it may be a production error, that Juliet's flashback should occur sometime in the 70-80s, but the house that they were in, the clothes they were wearing, show that this is a closer to present day time. I find this too huge a deal, considering otherwise it would deem this flashback a waste of the viewer's time, to be an error. It's just too obvious for it not to mean something, though I have no clue what exactly it does mean.
Juliet's sister, Rachel, is such a bitch.
Oh, come on, Juliet, because you saw him look at her? Seriously? Sawyer's been with you for three years, don't you think you can stand to feel a little secure? I find this so inconsistent and convenient to the plot. Yes, Juliet is insecure, but she also has no reason whatsoever to be. Like Sawyer is the first dude that looked at another woman. The whole thing is just so ridiculously lame to me. This is probably my least favorite part to this whole episode. I don't like that they made Juliet into a stereotypical acting on her emotions woman. She went from this strong, manipulative type, even kicking Kate's ass, which is saying a lot, to dying over Sawyer looking at Kate. That's just stupid, in my opinion.
I also don't like that Juliet breaks Sawyer's heart. The dude has been through enough, and now he has two women that have broken his heart just when he comes full circle and learns how to love finally. Dude doesn't deserve that. You should know better, Juliet.
Yeah, Sayid, I'm pretty sure that bomb wasn't rigged to detonate on impact.
Why is it that every time Jack is about to do something crazy, he has to talk Kate into it, and then, right before he's about to go said crazy plan, he has to look at Kate, and they say nothing, just look at eachother, or they say "here we go." I swear this is all Jack and Kate do besides say "hey" to eachother.
I'm pretty sure that Juliet has never heard anyone say "Live together, die alone." How does she know that's the catch-phrase of Season Finales?
We first saw Pierre Chang, who was then known as Dr. Marvin Candle, in Orientation, where he had a missing arm. In this episode, we find out how it was that he lost it.That episode is also where we first heard about the incident.
Juliet dying is like the saddest thing ever.
Josh Holloway deserves an Emmy for his acting in Juliet's death scene. You totally feel for the dude.
Take note; Juliet was wearing a red shirt for this entire episode.
It is entirely possible that everything they do is actually what the incident has always been all along.
From Lostpedia: (1) The opening credits list "Part 1" as written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and "Part 2" as written by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. (2) The giant statue is of Taweret, the demon-wife of Apep, the original God of evil. She also was seen as the Egyptian deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. (3) According to ABC's profile of Ilana, she was in the hospital for bad burns. (4) When Jack tries to get the Apollo bar from the vending machine, there is a candy bar with the name "Lindo's" to the right of it. This is an apparent reference to executive producer Damon Lindelof. (5) Pierre Chang warns Radzinsky that the Gauss readings have jumped off the charts. The Gauss is a unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic induction, named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. (6) The things the Police Officer gives back to Hurley when he gets released from the prison (money, a pen and a candy) are the same ones Jacob gives to Kate, Sawyer and Jack. (7) Richard Alpert responded to the question "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" in Latin, with "Ille qui nos omnes servabit." This could translate as: "He who will protect/save us all." More accurate translations might be either, "That man who will save us all," or, "That which will save us all," if the noun in question is of the masculine gender. The Latin word ille does not necessarily refer to a person. The enhanced version of this episode says the intended translation is "He who will save us all." (8) Jacob's tapestry contains two Ancient Greek phrases from Homer's Odyssey: "May the Gods grant thee all that thy heart desires." and "May the Gods grant thee happiness.". (9) A third phrase on the tapestry ("Only the dead have seen the end of war.") is a quote made famous by General MacArthur, who misattributed it to Plato. (10) The hieroglyphs on the panels of Jacob's tapestry are revealed to document many cultures that lived on the island for thousands of years according to the enhanced episode.
My God, Michael Emerson's acting when he says "What about me?" is just phenomenal. Your heart breaks for Ben in just that sentence alone.
It seems as if Jacob's plan all along may have been to die. If you watch the scene again, Jacob almost coaxes Ben into going to the place where he goes, and then when he gets there, he pushes him over the edge when he says "What about you?" It makes me wonder if this was all part of Jacob's plan somehow.
It's so interesting to go back and think of all the instances where the "loophole" has been set in place.
It appears as though Jacob visits everyone at important or significant moments their lives.
Really? Juliet survived that fall? Then she insults a hydrogen bomb. Nice.
The more I watch this episode, the more I like it. However, there are some things that I still really don't like and disagree with strongly.
Really? Fade to white? Well, I guess you were honest, you didn't fade to black, Darlton.
Also, the ending title screen is inverted from the original and usual white text on black screen, which is a common black and white theme on the show. It is also shown when Jacob speaks to his "friend" who is wearing a black shirt, with Jacob wearing white.
I actually like the fade to white. It leaves so much up to the imagination.
I'm pretty sure this is the longest post I've ever written.
