No, this episode wasn't about that young substitute teacher fresh out of college that all the boys wanted to make out with back in high school. It's about a few substitutes... or maybe just one. Who knows? But it's a goodie nonetheless.
First we get a "smoke monster's-eye view" of his travels through the island where he comes acorss loud music in Sawyer's house. Later, we see the Smoke Monster turn into the form of John Locke. Woah!
We finally get closer to some solid answers, too!
"Smoke" John Locke is having a chat with Richard when he is distracted by a small blond boy. N.A.M.B.L.A. loved this episode for just that reason.
"Smoke John" takes Sawyer-- who is back to his threateningly-ornery old self and quoting Of Mice and Men again-- to a cliff that looks much like the one Hurley almost jumped off of in season 2. We find out that near the bottom of the cliff, there is a cave, Jacob's cave, and it can only be reached, we think, by going down "Jacob's Ladder".
Meanwhile, in sideways time, everyone that met on the island due to the crash, is now meeting on the island (or other planet as some might say) known as Los Angeles, California. Hurley's luck and attitude are great, and he owns many companies. One of those companies employs Rose, who Locke meets after meeting Hurley. Locke later meets Ben, who is an English teacher, while Locke is a substitute.
Most important, we think, is that we are closer to finding out the significance of the numbers 4-8-15-16-23-42, each of which corresponds to a name of one of the survivors of flight 815. Wow-wee!
Listen closely to our in-depth and insightful analysis of this episode.

Good ep and good podcast. My biggest question is why did Ilana take Jacob's ashes?
ReplyDeleteAnd another thing, I think the fake Locke lived in the cave at one point. (Remember, Jacob lived at the foot of the statue.) Fake Locke was probably guessing who Jacob's candidate was and started to cross off names to narrow down Jacob's choice.
I'm really looking forward to next week's episode!!!!
ReplyDeleteChris, it seems like Jacob recruited Ilana to bring Sayid back to the island. I'd guess she's taking the ashes to somehow bring Jacob back? Or perhaps they have some kind of power than can be used against the smoke monster/Locke or on "infected" Sayid?
ReplyDeleteMy big question now is that Jacob isn't really the good one and the "Man In Black" is actually the good one. When "Locke" throws the white rock into the ocean, the one representing good, is the "inside joke" that he's actually the white rock himself?
And I'm telling you... there has to be something big with the sideways flight landing on 10/22/2004. It's almost like they're transported on the airplane a month later... and right before that happens, Jack is going to cut his neck on something... we could actually be watching the epilogue to the whole series already and not even know it!
I have been talking to some fellow lost-a-holics, and I find in interesting how we all differently refer to the smoke monster John Locke...I prefer the Artist Formally Known as John Locke...
ReplyDeleteI prefer either "smoke-John Lock", said like you would say, Sloop John B, or whatever that Beach Boys song is, or "the Form Formerly Known as John Locke". But sometimes I prefer Wilson Bradley.
ReplyDeletePrefer Flocke (fake + locke) or Smocke (smokey + locke).
ReplyDeleteFound a funny blog by a guy who claims he just started watching lost this season and really has no idea what's been happening the prior 5 seasons: http://neverseenlost.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/introduction/
The funniest line from the blog: The protagonist gang prioritized saving a blonde woman over an Indian man (just sayin’) and both died. and: For a deserted island there are an awful lot of people.
