LOST Episode 5.1 - Instant Thoughts

Because You Left

I think everyone can agree with me that this Episode more than made up for the long, long hiatus in the show. It was a very action packed hour and even gave us quite a few answers to long standing questions.

However since I need to sort out my thoughts on a few of those I'm just gonna run through a couple points I found interesting and as always feel free to add your own in the comments section.

1.) We now officially know that they are out of Sync with time, which is something that has been suspected for a few seasons. It didn't happen like any of us expected but it does make me worried that unless they can stop the skipping through time everyone of the survivors will get the same sickness Desmond had where he almost died but was saved by Faraday being his constant.

2.) Things are happening to each of our survivors to make it difficult for them to stay in the real world the way they would like to stay. Instead now Hurley, Kate and Aaron only have one choice they have to go to the island and stay there to be free of jail time.

3.) Marvin Candle from the Dharma training videos certainly seemed to be in charge of the entire Inititative but when the guy interupted the video taping her called him Dr Chey and not Dr. Candle.

4.) Sun has become a hard-hearted individual. Her hate for Ben and her father over Jin's death seems to have poisoned her. She would never before have suggested killing people as her first idea like she did with Kate.

5.) Lastly according to Ben once they get everyone back to the Island they are not ever going to be allowed to leave again.

Anyway there is obviously a lot that got left out here but I'll address as much as I can in the full analysis on Saturday. For now please share your thoughts, theories and just what you liked about it so we can sort this out together. Until Saturday.

Namaste.

i didn't really understand WHAT sun was suggesting kate do - it sounded bad but who did she want her to kill?

i'm full of questions and so excited that some good tv is back on. yay for lost. and is charlotte's nosebleed the same kind of sickness desmond had?

Christina and Julia thanks for the comments.

Christina I believe that Sun was suggesting to Kate that she take care of the Lawyers since no one but her, sun and the lawyers client knew about them asking for blood samples. After all Sun knew that Kate had killed before.

As for Charlotte's sickness I do believe that she has the same disease forming as Desmond and Minkowski from the boat had.

Julia I have a few thoughts on what Faraday meant in his explanation and I think I have an idea on what he might need to do to fix it. But I have to sort it out first. I will definitely address it in the full analysis.
