Desmond convinces Hurley, Jin, and Charlie to follow him on a trek through the jungle. Flashbacks reveal more of Desmond's Army career. Meanwhile, a despondent Kate turns to Sawyer after seeing Jack and Juliet together.
Not the 5 star episode I was expecting, but still very good. Dialog was great... it was written by one of my favorite comic book writers, Brian K. Vaughn... hence the Superman/Flash dialog. Loved Sawyer in this one... "we gotta play a game every 108 minutes or the island blows up"... "you want me to make you a mix tape?".
Did anyone catch the "holy crap" moment? The picture on the monk's desk was a photo of the monk and the old lady who sold Desmond the wedding ring!!! The old broad who told him the rules of the visions!!! WHAT??!!
Oh I thought that old woman was the woman who judged Juliet, but I guess you're right it was the jeweller, but that's hardly a holy crap moment.
We knew everything that Desmond "re-lived" happened before. So yes, she would have sold him the ring in the past, but in the true version he became a coward and did not buy the ring. All it means is the monk was connected to the jeweller. Boy that was the worst photoshopped picture ever. The background and each person was clearly not shot together.
What was the catch 22 of the episode? Either Charlie dies or you don't get Penny? I don't buy any of it.
When are Jack and Juliet going to put a white picket fence up around their hut? Juliet should be tied to a tree and every once in a while someone should come by and poke her with a sharp stick. Enjoyed seeing Charlie with an arrow in his larynx, too bad it didn't really happen. Yes, the dialog seemed better than usual. Missed the holy crap moment, I'll have to watch it again tonight.
Maybe the old woman is the one who sold Des the ring AND the one who judged Juliet...? I noticed the picture on the Monk's desk b/c it was clearly doctored and it stood out, but then I totally forgot to go back at the commercial and freeze it... But, yeah, that's kind of "holy crap" in my book.
But how do we know Des' going back and reliving the past wasn't the "true" version? Maybe he went back and created a small paradox? Maybe that's what the other's are working on, fixing paradoxes that may have been caused by the original Dharma group going back in time.
I think Des actually went back in time and somehow changed his past slightly. He told his buddy, who just happens to be a physicist, all about the island and the button and the funky electromagnetism. His buddy didn't buy it...until Des disappears. So his buddy works with Penelope, who has TONS of resources b/c of her wealthy father, and the two of them set up the Arctic monitoring station that we saw at the very end of Season 2. Once the hatch blows and the sky turns purple, the Arctic station gets a blip on it's radar.
So I'm guessing the woman they pulled out of a tree last night works for Penelope and was conducting some kind of "search and rescue" mission. She had the book with the picture as proof of who she works for.
The "Catch 22" is going to be something about Charlie screwing up the rescue attempt somehow. Desmond is going to have to kill Charlie himself, which will totally rule.
The thing with Charlie is that it starts with the Hatch imploding. He walks away unscratched and not caring about if anyone else made it out alive. For some reason, Charlie was supposed to die at that moment, and now we're reliving Final Destination this season as death tries to catch back up with Charlie, but why?
Opposite that, Ben developed cancer when he though no one on the island gets cancer.
Is Charlie doing something right which is causing him to avoid death, where as Ben is doing something wrong which is leading to his death?
