Just watched for the 2nd time
can't for a 3rd cuz the damn rain ismessing up my satellite signal
Anyway this was NOT a Richard centric. PPL must've been calling it that because dude was in almost every scene in both time periods. That aside this ep wasgreat, a lot of parallels
You have to appreciate this writing. As I saidLocke is basically alienating himself and proving to be a problem in Richard's and Ben's eyes just like he was to Jack when they were trying to get thehatch open and after. Then Jack is basically the 1977 John Locke, talkin destiny and all that bs and now it looks like James is gonna have to be the Jack of'77 to stop Jack even though I don't think anything they will do can actually change anything.
I always had a problem with Dan being the initator of WHH and then coming back on this variable steez. What pisses me off more is Jack's stuborness asusual. S1-S3 he was always right, every decesion he made was the right one and he'd force his way on others unless they outright ignored him and did whatthey wanted. The same happens again Faraday didn't even drop knowledge on Jack, just gave him a premise for him to run with. Jack is now going hard talkinlike he can reverse any death
Foolish. He gon be looking all types of wrong like Locke with the whole notpushing the button incident.
What made me feel uneasy was Locke calling Ben out on him never seeing Jacob or ever getting messages from the island. If true he was really running the showthe whole time and for some reason couldn't get any orders from Jacob or the island and was just faking the funk the whole time. This also makes all of the815ers really special since a lot of them had dreams like Eko something I guess Ben lied about? I liked his "I use to have dreams" line back in S4.
The whole Jacob thing makes me think now, was he ever in tuned with the island or simply time traveled to a time where he had enough info on the future of theisland to run shhh as some GOD-like leader? I'm guessing he time traveled before the Black Rock got on the island since I figure Richard was probably onthat crew and that's how he got there being the oldest dude on the island.
Oh I'm not all that hyped with the Locke knowing he had to have Richard help his past self. If we weren't shown Locke's dreams and hallucinationsthe past 4 seasons he'd always appear badass with the omnipotent like decesions/future predicting ability. The writers just chose not to show us what dreamor vision he had.
I can't wait til Locke tries to shank Jacob
Ben's face waspriceless
