Initial Reaction to "Across the Sea"

Well... That was confusing. For the first half of this episode, I wasn't even sure that I was watching the right show. It felt a little hokey to me. It was like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland meets Lord of the Flies. I was not expecting to get the answers that we got, nor was I expecting to get them in the way that we did. I'm still very confused, and I think that I'm going to have to watch this episode about ten times to understand it even a little, because in LOST, every answer raises about ten new questions. But, to be fair, that's what I've always liked about this show. The thought process is exponential. I've never even come close to expecting every question to be answered. In fact, I don't even want them to. I want to think about this forever, however, I don't want to be frustrated. I want to know what's across the damn sea... Somewhere, waiting for me... Alright, look, I know that's not the song, but as soon as I found out this episode's title, before it even aired, I started singing that to myself. Let's talk about "Across the Sea" and how I now feel bad for the nameless "Man in Black" even though he just killed all my damn friends...

5.08 La Fleur

After the flash, and Locke falling down the well, Sawyer is still holding onto the rope, which is in the ground, Juliet says to stop, that they can't help John, she says that wherever he went, he's gone now, and wherever they went is before that well was ever built, Miles says he'd say it's way before, he then points out the four-toed statue to the rest of them, which is now fully intact, this is pre-four-toed statue times. From Lostpedia
Locke is in the hole underground where The Orchid will be, he pushes the frozen donkey wheel, which causes another, and the last, flash to occur.
They experience their final flash, Miles says that one was different, that it was more like an earthquake, Sawyer notices the well is back, he goes to look down it, but it's sealed up now, Juliet says her headache is gone, Miles say his is too, and his nose isn't bleeding anymore, Juliet says she thinks it's over, she thinks John did it, Jin says now what, Sawyer says now they wait for him to come back, Juliet asks for how long, Sawyer says as long as it takes.
"Now we wait for him to come back." Sawyer "For how long?" Juliet "As long as it takes." Sawyer
Three years later--in a DHARMA station, workers wearing jumpsuits, one puts on music, a man and a woman start dancing, listening to music, another guy comes in, he says he was gone ten minutes, and now they're having a hootenanny, the other guy says that Rosie, who is wearing a Geronimo Jackson t-shirt, was just dropping off some brownies, that he should thank her, the first guy tells Jerry that she shouldn't be there, that they're on the clock, Jerry asks what's going to happen to the other guy, named Phil, asks if the polar bears are going to figure their way out of their cages, Phil says if La Fleur finds out, Rosie points out something on the monitor, Phil asks if that's a hostile, Rosie says it's Horace, he's drinking, by the pylons, setting off explosives, dynamite, Phil tells Jerry to get her out of there, he says they have to get La Fleur, Jerry asks if he really wants to wake him up at 3 am, Phil says what if Horace blows himself up, then La Fleur will kill them, he says that they have to go get La Fleur, their boss, and let him know what's going on.
From Lostpedia
They go to La Fleur's house, knock on the door, they says they're sorry to bother him, but there's a situation at the pylons, from inside, La Fleur asks what kind of situation, they says it's Horace, that he has dynamite, and he's blowing up trees, La Fleur opens the door, says son of a bitch, it's Sawyer, he's La Fleur, the Head of Security at the DHARMA Initiative. From Lostpedia
La Fleur honking horn, Miles comes out, he says to relax, that he's coming, he says hey boss, La Fleur asks if he has his zapper with him, Miles says yes, to tell him why he needs it, La Fleur says because their fearless leader is out blowing up trees, Miles asks why, La Fleur says because he's loaded, Miles asks since when does Horace drink, La Fleur says that he doesn't, so keep this on the down low, they find Horace passed out at pylons, a fire, La Fleur tells Miles to put out the fire, pack up the dynamite, and he will take him home, Miles asks why he can't be the one to take him home, La Fleur asks if he wants to be the one to tell Amy.
La Fleur brings Horace home, Amy asks if he okay, asks La Fleur where he found him, he says by the Flame, blowing up trees with dynamite, he says to tell him why, Amy says they had a fight, but it's personal, La Fleur says if she doesn't think it isn't going to get out, it'll be on the coconut telegraph by breakfast, Amy says it was about Paul, suddenly she's in pain, the baby is coming.
Three years earlier--they find Daniel talking to himself in the jungle, Sawyer asks where's red, Juliet asks if he's okay, Daniel says he's not going to do it, not going to tell her, Juliet asks where's Charlotte, Daniel says she's not here, she's gone, Juliet asks where, Daniel says she's dead, there was another flash, and then she was just gone, that her body just disappeared, she moved on and they stayed, Juliet says she's so sorry, Sawyer asks Daniel if they stayed, then they're not traveling through time anymore, Daniel says that wherever they are now, whenever they are now, they're there for good, Daniel says he won't do it, Sawyer says until he checks back in, they should head back to the beach, when Locke gets back that's where they'll be looking, Miles says their camp is gone, that it doesn't matter, Juliet says Sawyer is right, they should head to the beach, Miles is frustrated, he says when they get there, then they'll want to go back to The Orchid, Sawyer says they're going, if their stuff is there, great, if not, they'll build new stuff, Miles asks who put him in charge, they start to leave, Sawyer tells Juliet thanks for getting his back on the beach idea, Juliet says it was a stupid idea, but they'll figure out something better before they get there, they suddenly hear gunshots in the jungle, then someone screaming, crying, they go to look at what it is, they see a woman pleading for her life, two men with guns approaching her, a body on the ground, they put bag over her head, Juliet asks who they think they are, Miles says who cares, they don't even know when they are, he asks Daniel if they don't get involved, Dan says it doesn't matter what they do, that whatever happened, happened, Sawyer says thanks Plato, but he's going over there, he asks Juliet if she has his back, Juliet says absolutely, Sawyer says approaches the two men, he says to drop the gun, but one guy shoots at him, Sawyer seems to deflect the bullet, then kills the guy who shot at him, and he kills the other guy, they rescue the woman, take their guns, Sawyer tells her it's alright, it's okay, that she's safe, it's over, they removed the bag from her head, and the woman is Amy, she asks Sawyer who he is. From Lostpedia
"Doesn't matter what we do. Whatever happened, happened." Daniel
Amy sits by the dead body, Juliet says her friend is wearing a DHARMA jumpsuit, which puts them in the 70s or 80s, Sawyer asks if the other guys are others, Juliet says she doesn't know, Sawyer wonders if she knew them, Juliet says that it's before her time, Jin finds a walkie on the ground, he gives it to Sawyer, Juliet says they need to go, Sawyer says they need to get moving, Amy asks who they are, Sawyer says that their ship wrecked on the way to Tahiti, but that's not important right now, that whoever is on the other end of the walkie, those two men might've given them a call before they saved her, Amy says they have to bury them, Sawyer says there's no time, Amy says there's a truce, that they have to, bury them, bring him back home, Paul, she says please, Jin says he'll carry him, Sawyer says they better do it fast, put the guys in the ground, then bring her friend back, Amy says he's not her friend, he was her husband.
Walking through jungle with Paul's body, Sawyer says when they get there there's going to be a lot of questions, to just shut up and let him do the talking, Miles asks if he really thinks he can convince them they were in a boat wreck, Sawyer says that he's a professional, he used to lie for a living.
Juliet suddenly yells for Daniel to stop walking, they're at the pylons, Juliet tells Amy to turn it off, she says turn what off, Juliet says whatever that is, it looks like some sort of sonic fence or something, Amy asks where they said their ship was going, Sawyer says they just saved her life, so why doesn't she just trust them and turn that thing off, Amy says okay, goes to box, does something, says it's off, Sawyer says for her to go first, she goes through, she's fine, nothing happens, so they all begin to walk through the pylons, but they get shocked by the sonic fence, Amy takes out her earplugs. From Lostpedia
Three years later--Amy is giving birth, the Doctor says she's going to be okay, to trust him, and relax, he asks where Horace is, La Fleur says he's unavailable, the Doctor says the baby is breached, upside down, that she needs cesarean, that he's just an intern, he's not an obstetrician, he says she was supposed to deliver on the mainland in two weeks, the baby is early, La Fleur asks if he can deliver the baby or not, the Doctor says he doesn't know, La Fleur leaves, he goes to a group of mechanics, fixing DHARMA vans, finds Juliet working there, La Fleur says Amy's having her baby, that she's in trouble, the Doctor says she needs cesarean, Juliet says they have an agreement, La Fleur says the Doctor has never done one, but he's guessing that she has, Juliet says doesn't he understand that every time she's tried to help a woman on the island give birth, it hasn't worked, La Fleur says that maybe it hasn't happened yet, but she has to try to help her, he tells Juliet that she's the only one who can, Juliet goes.
Juliet tries to help Amy, the Doctor asks about Horace, La Fleur says he's speaking for Horace, the Doctor objects, but Amy says she wants Juliet to do it, La Fleur says she's going to do great, he knows she is. From Lostpedia
Sawyer waits outside, Jin meets him, he speaks English now, he asks if everything is okay, La Fleur says Amy went into labor, there was a problem, Juliet is in there, he says that he pulled her out of retirement, La Fleur asks Jin if he's had any luck, Jin says he finished grid 133, but hasn't found their people yet, he asks La Fleur how long they'll look, La Fleur says as long as it takes.
"How long do we look, James?" Jin "As long as it takes." La Fleur
Juliet comes out, La Fleur asks what happened, Juliet says it's a boy, that he's okay, she's okay, Juliet cries.
Three years earlier--Sawyer wakes up on a couch, in the rec room, Horace asks how his head is, Sawyer says that it hurts, asks where are his people, Horace says he's fine, that Amy told him what happened in the jungle, Horace says that he appreciates what he did, Sawyer says that he has a funny way of showing it, Horace says they have a certain defense protocol, that there are hostile indigenous people on the island, and they don't get along with them, Horace says so why doesn't he tell him who the hell he is, Sawyer says his name is James La Fleur, that he can call him Jim, Horace asks how he got to the island, La Fleur says if his friends are safe, why is he asking so many questions, Horace says they said to talk to him, that he's the boat captain, La Fleur says they got caught in a storm, they shipwrecked, crashed into the reef, Horace asks what kind of ship, La Fleur says it was a salvage vessel, they were searching for a famous lost wreck, and old slaver out of Portsmouth, England, called the Black Rock, La Fleur asks if he's heard of her, Horace says he can't say that he has, Horace says so when if they got washed ashore, why was he then wandering around jungle, La Fleur says some of their crew is missing, they were looking for them, they came upon a girl instead, Horace says tell you what, if their crew shows up, he'll send them along with him, La Fleur asks where, Horace says there's a sub coming in the morning, will drop him off in Tahiti, just saved, La Fleur asks why he doesn't allow them time to look, Horace says the only people allowed on the compound are DHARMA Initiative, and La Fleur is not DHARMA material. From Lostpedia
"Look, we have certain defense protocols. There are hostile indigenous people on this island, and we don't get along with them. So... why don't you tell me who the hell you are?" Horace "My name's James La Fleur. You can call me Jim." La Fleur "How'd you get to the island, Jim?" Horace "If my friends are safe, why are you asking me all the questions?" La Fleur "They told me I need to talk to you, that you're the boat captain." Horace "We got caught in a storm. Our ship wrecked. Must've hit the reef. Thankfully, we washed up on shore." La Fleur "What kind of ship?" Horace "A salvage vessel. Searching for a famous lost wreck. It's an old slaver out of Portsmouth, England, called the Black Rock. You heard of her?" La Fleur "Can't say that I have." Horace
Miles says they're screwed, that he's probably trying to explain time travel by now, Juliet says he's going to be fine, Miles asks what she's looking at, Juliet says she lived here for over three years, that was her house over there, Miles asks if she was in the DHARMA Initiative, Juliet says no, that the others took over the barracks, wiped out people, brought them on a sub long after that, Miles says welcome home, Jin asks Daniel if there are no more flashes, Daniel says no, that the record is spinning again, and they're just not on the song they want to be on, Daniel sees a little girl with red hair, which he recognizes as Charlotte. From Lostpedia
"I lived here for over three years. That was my house over there." Juliet "You were in the DHARMA Initiative?" Miles "No. The Others took over these Barracks and wiped out most of the people living in them. They brought me here on a sub a long time after that." Juliet "Well... welcome home." Miles
Horace arrives, says someone will be along shortly to show them to their rooms, in the meantime, Mr. La Fleur will fill them in, they question his new name, Sawyer says it's Creole, that he improvised, Juliet asks what happened in there, Sawyer says Horace believed his story, but they're getting punted, putting them on a sub tomorrow, shipping them off to Tahiti, Miles asks how that's bad news.
An alarm goes off, Phil says to get inside, everyone begins running around, Phil brings them to a house, tells the woman inside to keep an eye on them, through the window, they see Richard Alpert arrive with a torch at the barracks, Sawyer says uh oh.
Barracks, it's dark, Richard is waiting, Horace goes out to speak to him, says hello Mr. Alpert, that he wishes he would've told him he was coming, that would've turned the fence off, Richard says the fence may keep the others out, but not them, the only thing that does keep them out is their truce, which he's now broken, Horace says doesn't know what he's talking about, Richard asks where are his two men.
"I wish you would've told me you were coming. I would've turned the fence off for you." Horace "That fence may keep other things out, but not us. The only thing that does keep us out, Horace, is our truce... which you've now broken." Richard
Miles says getting on the sub sounds like great idea, Sawyer says no one is getting on the sub.
Horace comes in, asks La Fleur how well he buried the bodies, La Fleur says it depends on how hard he looks, Horace says to call The Arrow, tell them they're on at condition one, take the heavy ordinance, make sure the fence is at maximum, Phil says yes sir, La Fleur says to let him talk to Richard, Horace says he doesn't understand, they had a truce with these men, La Fleur says he's the one who killed them, and he's going to explain why he did it, Horace says he can't let him do that, La Fleur says he isn't asking his permission, Juliet asks if he's sure he knows what he's doing, La Fleur says not yet, but he'll figure something out.
Sawyer goes to talk to Richard, who is sitting on a bench, he says hello Richard, Richard asks do they know eachother, Sawyer says he's the guy who killed his men, that he heard some gunshots, saw two men throwing a bag over a woman's head, gave them a chance to put their weapons down, but one of them took a shot at him, he defended himself, Richard asks if that's so, he asks if his people know that he's telling him that, Sawyer says they aren't his people, so if he has some kind of a truce with them, it hasn't been broken, Richard asks if he's not a member of the DHARMA Initiative, then what is he, Sawyer asks if he buried the bomb, Richard is confused, Sawyer says the hydrogen bomb with Jughead written on the side, he says that yes he knows about it, he also knows that 20 years ago, some bald fellow limped into his camp and fed him some mumbo-jumbo about being his leader, and then poof, he disappeared right in front of him, he asks if that's ringing a bell, he says that man is John Locke and he's waiting for him to come back, La Fleur asks Richard if he still thinks he's a damn member of the DHARMA Initiative, Richard says no, he guesses that he doesn't, but that no matter who he is, two of his men are dead, and his people need some kind of justice, Richard asks La Fleur what are they going to do about that. From Lostpedia
"Hello, Richard." Sawyer "I'm sorry. Do we know each other?" Richard
"Did you bury the bomb?" Sawyer "Excuse me?" Richard "The hydrogen bomb with "Jughead" written on the side. Did you bury it?" Sawyer "How..." Richard "Yeah, I know about it. I also know that 20 years ago, some bald fella limped into your camp and fed you some mumbo jumbo about being your leader. And then poof... he went and disappeared right in front of ya. Any of this ringin' a bell? That man's name is John Locke, and I'm waitin' for him to come back. So, you still think I'm a member of the damn DHARMA Initiative?" Sawyer
La Fleur and Horace go to Amy's house, Horace asks Amy how she's doing, she asks if Alpert is gone, Horace says no, that they told him where the bodies were, they had to, it was the only way to maintain the truce, he says that Jim worked it out with him, but Richard is going to need something from them, Horace tells Amy that Richard needs to take Paul's body back with him, Amy gets upset, Horace says they've been friends for a long time, that this is completely her choice, and if she doesn't want to give him to them, then they will suffer the consequences, Amy says they can take him, that Paul would want to keep them safe, she cries, asks if she can have a minute please, Horace and La Fleur leave Amy alone, she takes an ankh necklace off Paul's' body, La Fleur says he's sorry, asks Horace if he needs some help, Horace says no thanks, but says that the sub leaving tomorrow morning, also returns in two weeks, he tells La Fleur that he can stay and look for the rest of his crew until then. From Lostpedia
Juliet waiting at the pier, Sawyer says he bought them two weeks, that Horace says they can wait for the next sub, with any luck, Locke will be back by then, Juliet says and then what, Sawyer asks what she means, Juliet says that Locke said he was leaving to save them, that the flashes have stopped, they're over, no more bloody noses, they're already saved, she says that the sub brought her there, she's been trying to get off the island for more than three years, and now she has her chance, she's going to leave, Sawyer says she does realize, it's 1974, that whatever she thinks she's going back to, it doesn't exist yet, Juliet says that's not a reason not to go, Sawyer asks what about him, is she really going to leave him there with the mad scientist and Mr. I speak to dead people, and Jin, who's a hell of a nice guy, but not exactly the greatest conversationalist, Juliet says he'll be fine, Sawyer says maybe, but who will get his back, he asks her to just give him two weeks, that's all, Juliet says alright, two weeks. From Lostpedia
"Locke said he was leaving to save us. The flashes have stopped. They're over. No more bloody noses. We're already saved. That sub behind you brought me here. I've been trying to get off of this island for more than three years, and now I've got my chance. I'm going to leave." Juliet
Three years later--someone playing chess, La Fleur walking through the barracks, he picks a sunflower, goes into a house, a table ready for dinner, with salad, wine, he says something smells good, Juliet is in the kitchen, cooking, she asks him if the flower is for her, he says she was amazing today, he hugs her, she says thank you for believing in me, they kiss, Juliet says she loves him, and he loves her too.

From Lostpedia
"I had a thing for a girl once. And I had a shot at her, but I didn't take it. For a little while, I'd lay in bed every night, wondering if it was a mistake. Wondering if... I'd ever stop thinking about her. And now I can barely even remember what she looks like. I mean, her face--it's... she's just gone. And she ain't never coming back. So... is three years long enough to get over someone? Absolutely." La Fleur

At the time, I thought it meant something." Locke "Did it?" Sawyer "No. It was just a light." Locke "So why'd you turn us around then? Don't you wanna go back there?"

Sayid and Desmond are getting restless, they hear someone banging on pipes, Ray comes in, he says that the Captain wants to see them, they leave, see that the helicopter is gone, Rays says that Lapidus is running an errand.

Regina has a chain wrapped around her, she jumps ship, Desmond and Sayid try to help her, they call for help, try to go after her.
The Captain comes out, tells them to stop, that she's gone. From Lostpedia
The Captain introduces himself, Captain Gault, says he didn't want to lose anymore of his crew, that they have cabin fever, that it has something to do with the close proximity to the island, that there's a saboteur on board, the crew is working on repairs to the engine, then they'll move to safer waters, his orders from Charles Widmore, says Desmond knows him.
"Some of my crew has been dealing with, what might best be described as a heightened case of cabin fever. I think it's got something to do with the close proximity of the island." Captain Gault
"This is Charles Widmore's boat?" Desmond "That's right. You know him." Captain Gault
Captain Gault brings them inside, he shows them something, Sayid says it's a Flight Data Recorder, a black box, the Captain says it's from Flight 815, that a salvage vessel retrieved it from bottom of the Ocean, it took considerable amount of Widmore's resources, they found with wreckage of the plane, along with all 324 bodies, that the wreckage was staged, asks what kind of resources and manpower go into pulling off something like that, he says that's exactly why they want Benjamin Linus. From Lostpedia
"That's exactly what it is. Now here's the funny thing. This black box comes from Oceanic Flight 815. A salvage vessel recovered it from the bottom of the ocean. It took a considerable amount of Mr. Widmore's resources to procure it. It was found with the wreckage of the plane, along with all 324 dead passengers. That's not the complete story, as you are well aware, Mr. Jarrah, given the fact that you're standing here, breathing. The wreckage was obviously staged. Now can you imagine what kind of resources and manpower go into pulling off a feat of that magnitude? Faking the recovery of a plane crash? Putting 324 families through a grieving process based on a lie? But what's even more disturbing... where exactly does one come across 324 dead bodies? And that, Mr. Jarrah, Mr. Hume, is just one of the many reasons we want Benjamin Linus." Captain Gault
Juliet tells Sun she's sorry, that she had to stop them, she needs to get off the island, doesn't know if the boat is the answer, that in 3 weeks she'll have nausea, the week after that, shortness of breath, the week after that, she'll lose consciousness, go into a coma, then she'll stop breathing, that the baby will die, that she can't go.
"I'm sorry. I had to stop you any way I could. I know you don't trust me, but you need to get off this island. We all do." Juliet "You want to leave?" Sun "More than anything. I don't know if that boat out there is the answer or not, but it's something. I need to go home. So do you. Sun, in about three weeks, you'll be in an almost constant state of nausea. A week after that, you will experience shortness of breath that won't go away. A week after that, you will lose consciousness and slip into a coma. And then, Sun, you will die. And when your heart stops beating, so will the baby's. And that, Sun, is why it is my business, because you are my patient. If you go, you will die. And your baby will never be born." Juliet
The Doctor wants to do surgery on Sun, a C-Section, but Sun says she's waiting for Jin, the baby starts to come out anyway, is born healthy, the baby is okay. From Lostpedia
Ray escorts Sayid and Desmond back, but is going to put them in a new room.
There is a blood stain on the wall, roaches in the room, Ray calls Johnson to mop it up.
Johnson introduces himself, Kevin Johnson, but it's Michael Dawson, Sayid and Desmond introduce themselves to him as if they don't know him. From Lostpedia
Jin makes up with Sun, brings her dinner, he says explaining won't matter, that he forgives her, he says that he knows why she did it, that he knows the man he used to be, that they will go to Locke's camp, but Sun says no, that they have to get off the island, that they have a helicopter, they have to try, she tells him that the baby is his.
Jin arrives at the hospital with the panda, but he's delivering it for Mr. Paik, says he represents Paik Automotive, came to present a gift to an Ambassador who has just become a grandfather, he leaves the panda with the Ambassador, says that it's a symbol of Mr. Paik's eagerness to do business with China, a nurse asks why he's leaving so soon, but Jin says it's not his baby, he's only been married for 2 months.
Sun is putting her wedding ring on, the doorbell rings, Hurley shows up to see the baby, he asks if anyone else is coming, but Sun says no, Hurley says good, she asks if he wants to hold the baby, Hurley says she looks just like Jin, that they should go see him now. From Lostpedia
They arrive at a grave, Jin's grave, the head-stone says he died September 22, 2004.
Sun talks to Jin, says he was right, it was a girl, that the delivery was hard on her, that she kept calling out for him, that she named the baby Ji Yeon, just like he wanted. From Lostpedia
"Jin, you were right. It's a girl. The delivery was hard on me. The doctor said I was calling out for you. I wish you could've been there. Jin, she's beautiful. Ji Yeon. I named her just like you wanted. I miss you so much. I miss you so much." Sun

Questions:

Did Regina have the sickness? Was her consciousness jumping through time?
Was Michael banging on the pipes?
Was the banging on the pipes in Morse Code?
Why does Captain Gault suggest that Ben staged the fake Flight 815 crash?
Who really did it? Ben or Charles Widmore?
What does the recording on the black box say?
What did the blood stain on the wall come from?
Why does Hurley visit Sun and why is he glad no one else is coming?

Favorites:

"Why would Juliet lie about that?" Sun "Force of habit?" Kate
"(Eating Lima Beans, frustrated.) I hope they resolve their kitchen issues." Sayid
"Uh, Sun teach me...Uh, Sawyer, too. Sun, is...better." Jin "I bet." Jack
"You realize we're the only two married guys on the island? (He shows his ring) Married?" Bernard "Married." Jin "Yeah, well, no, not to each other. No. (laughing) You got it. It's not easy, is it? Oh, I mean, it's--it's wonderful, but...let's face it, every decision that you make takes twice as long. 'Cause you always gotta talk them into it." Bernard
"Wow, look at that! You see? Now, that's karma. We must be the good guys, huh?" Bernie
"So what do you think of the captain?" Ray "He was surprisingly forthcoming." Sayid
"Would you like to hold her?" Sun "I don't know, I... kinda have two left hands." Hurley

Notes:

This is the first episode to feature both a flash back (Jin) and flash forward (Sun).
Captain Gault seemed to know that Desmond and Charles Widmore know eachother. If he knows that, that means that Charles Widmore knows Desmond was on the island, so, I'm wondering if he really did send him there now, and if he was someone that pushed Desmond along on his path to the island.
Jin's grave indicates that he was born on November 27, 1974, and died on September 22, 2004, the day that Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on the island.
Sun is the last member of the Oceanic 6 that was revealed.
From Lostpedia: Atlas Shrugged: Alternately the name of the Kahana's captain may be a reference to a character in Ayn Rand's 1957 novel, which is a story about the producers, the movers and shakers in society who decide to go on strike because they are not appreciated by the masses, and create a separate Utopian world, a "village" hidden from view from people, planes and the world.
From Lostpedia: The Survivors of the Chancellor: is the Jules Verne book, about the last voyage of the British ship Chancellor, that Regina is reading upside down. In the novel, at the beginning of its voyage, the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members. By the end, only eleven people (five passengers and six crew) remained alive. In the novel, several characters commit suicide, at least one of them by jumping off of the raft and into the water.
Just a slap? Sun should have knocked Juliet out.
If Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse hadn't revealed at the 2007 Comic Con that Michael (Harold Perrineau) hadn't been coming back to the show, and his name hadn't been in the credits in every episode of the season before this one, his reveal and return to the show probably would have been one of the greatest and most shocking ones in the entire series. However, everyone and there mother had anticipated him being the man on the boat, and it was pretty disappointing, in my opinion. I wish they wouldn't have told us.
