Lost: 4.11- “Cabin Fever” (Locke-centric)
One more episode has come and past! Next week’s is the first part of the season finale, which the producers go ABC to approve a three hour finale. The first hour will air next week, but then we have to wait two weeks for the last two because of the Grey’s Anatomy 2 hour finale and the Ugly Betty finale. But, hey, at least we get an extra hour that we weren’t gonna get before. I guess they just had so much to show that they couldn’t fit it into two hours.
But what did you think about this one. I’m gong to go ahead and give my thoughts now because I know I won’t later.
- Locke has been ‘recruited’ since he was a child. It was interesting so see Richard show up so often. I was reminded of the conversation he had with Richard when he gave him the folder with the info that his dad was the original ‘Sawyer’. He was saying that the people were losing faith in Ben and that he wasn’t the chosen one. And it seems like Richard has had his eye on him for awhile.
The other guy that was recruiting him was Abbadon, who works for Widmore. But did he work for Widmore then?
- One of the funniest parts of the whole show was last night. I was cracking up over Ben sitting outside the cabin with Hurley and Hurley offers him a candy bar. Now Ben is just a spectator like Hurley. Just a guy along for the ride. Obviously he still has some power, but he doesn’t have the power of being the chosen one.
- “He wants us to move the island.” Yes!!! That’s why Widmore can’t find it in the future.
- Claire- why is she so calm about being with Christian and not having Aaron? She would either have to be drugged up or absolutely convinced, 100% that what she is doing is right. It seemed like she was very much at peace and ok with what was going on.
- Christian isn’t Jacob, but can speak for him. Has Jacob taken Christian’s form or body? I don’t know here.
- Notice the backgammon link again. he played with Walt on the beach, and then I remember a dead body with a white and black piece on each eye. I think that was season 1, but not sure.
- Mom, did you recognize “Horace”? Think X-Files… Tooms! Any connection with Horus the sun God? Horace the Roman philosopher coined the phrase ‘Carpe Diem’ and the phrase that is “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.”

Tooms! Absolutely freaky…of course I remember Tooms. He’s aged a bit and “thickened up”, eh? [Haven't we all?
] I recognized him as Horace from Dharma, but would never have recognized him as the guy who played Tooms. Thanks! Dad caught on right away that the scene was repeating itself. He noticed the tree was up again…I didn’t get it until he started repeating himself, and I didn’t understand at first what Dad was talking about.
Claire is absolutely relaxed because she is dead and now realizes it and sees “the bigger picture” of the island. How else could she be so calm about being separated from Aaron?
Moving the island… will they wait until Sayid arrives? Otherwise he will be even more “lost”. And Desmond won’t return to the island…yet things don’t look so promising for the tanker! Will Michael die? What about the helicopter pilot? I like Frank. It looks as if no one knew about the evil security guys and cleansing the island, except for the mercenaries themselves. Were they hired by Widmore? I was sorry to see the Captain killed…and the doctor. I guess Widmore isn’t the innocent the Captain thought he was.

I really don’t think that Claire is dead. I think that she is absolutely convinced that she is supposed to be on the Island and no where else. I’m assuming that her now being in cahoots with the Island means that she doesn’t go back for Aaron and he just ends up with Kate by default (?).
Move the Island?!? Yeah, cause it’s no problem to move a HUGE mass of land!

They needn’t move the island physically; keeping it out of phase temporally would be enough.

I agree with Doug that moving the island involves moving it in TIME.
No comments yet on the never-aging Richard. I would expect him to look young when he visited little Johnny Locke. He traveled through time to get there…so he would look like the age he was when he time-traveled. It’s possible he ALSO traveled through time to visit young John, after he and his father had moved to the island. Each time he looked the same age as he does NOW on the island. So I guess that would mean all this time travel has been going on recently.

It doesn’t matter how much a mom believes in a cause- she will have her baby there with her- I have an increasingly feeling that many of the people they deal with are actually dead- or the life/death thing is a continum on the island- either she’s under a “spell”, drugged, or dead.
WHo is Richard’s father?
I need a manual to read to remember all of this!
