So I always wait until the DVR is about 30 minutes into the show before I start watching.  I hate commercials.  Tonight, I’m on Disc 2 of Season 3 in my “let’s rewatch all of LOST to try and get some clues as to where this show is going to end up” marathon.

A couple of things that are bugging me:

In Season 3, Ben is discussing Jack with some of The Others and they are baffled as to why he has such as interest in him, seeing that “he wasn’t even on Jacob’s list.”  Now, we know why Ben needed Jack - in the beginning - because of his spine tumor.  What’s strange to me, knowing what I know now, is the claim that Jack wasn’t on Jacob’s list.  Did they mean Jacob’s “bad” list?  Cause we know Jack’s on the list of Jacob’s candidates (or, at least that’s what we’ve been told).  My guess: during Season 3 they had no idea where the show was headed so they said whatever they wanted.

The other strange thing.   So Juliet makes this big speech to Jack about wanting him to operate on Ben and save his life, all the while she plays the stupid silent movie of her holding up the flash cards saying everything is a lie, don’t believe Ben, kill him, blah blah blah.  Great, makes sense.  Then, during the surgery, when Jack goes rogue, Juliet is all “bring back Sawyer and Kate.  Kill them if you have to.”  This doesn’t make any sense.  Is she really going that far to make The Others believe she’s on their side, before Jack “accidentally” kills Ben?  To me, it didn’t seem that way.  She seemed very serious.  And Jack must have thought so too, cause he totally rats her out to them.

Anyways, things to ponder.

On to tonight’s episode!

Aww, cute family photos of Jack - dude, he looked SO YOUNG in that first one.  Uh oh, there’s a scar on his abdomen - his HOT abdomen.  So wait, did Jack NOT have his appendix taken out in the other world?  DUDE, Jack has a kid named DAVID???  What the f?  Who’s the mother?  Shut up, alternate universe.  SHUT. UP.

Hurley and Miles are my new favorite duo….Jacob!  Talking slang, no less.  Hmm, who’s coming to the island?  Interesting.

Alice in Wonderland, I just love the literary references they’ve thrown into LOST over the years.  Now I need to look up the Biblical David and figure out the significance of his kid’s name.  LOST makes me think too much.

SIDENOTE: It was my understanding, from last episode, that the survivor’s lifes alternated the minute that Jacob entered into it (different points for everyone).  So the alternate universe should reflect this.  However, it’s not really adding up.  Jack didn’t see Jacob until well past the time that he would have had a child, so how does he have one now?  Also, Locke doesn’t see him until his Dad throws him off the building, which never seemed to have happened in ALT world.  So I’m confused.  Is everything about their lives different in ALT world?

Haha, Hurley, giving orders.  I love it.  “Why don’t YOU go back to the courtyard?”

“I just lied to a samarai.”

So I’m wondering if Jacob is all that “good.”  There are a lot of theories that the devil man (my name for him) is actually the good one.  I’m confused.  Wow, so Jack knows that’s what Jacob would say to him.  That phrase is actually the opposite of what Jack’s dad used to say - yes, I know all of you remember that, I’m guess sayin’.

So Claire is all Rousseau’d out, complete with a crazy dead-animal baby with fur.  And netting.  Nice touch.  Hmm, Jin doesn’t know that Aaron is with Claire’s mom, does he?  That’s too bad, he could just tell her.

And there’s Kate.  Looking for Claire.  Interesting, it’s like everyone’s on their own now.  Everyone’s got their own agenda.  Well, it’s about time.  If we’re going to wrap things up, we need everyone to work on a different problem

Oooh, the will is going to mention Claire!  NICE.  I knew we needed to connect those two in ALT world.  Well, in ALT world, Christian is still a cheater.

Ok, so who’s Claire’s “friend” and why won’t she say the friend’s name.  Weird, and stupid.  God, there must be some way that Jin knows the baby isn’t on the island.  I’m just so confused by what’s happened that I can’t figure it out.

Back at the cave.  Shannon’s inhaler.  The two skeletons.  And Hurley is the genius who figured out that the might be them.  And that’s what a lot of people believe, they think it’s Rose and what’s his face.  Jesus, what was the dentist’s name?

Dude, David’s gone.  Totally saw that one coming.  Uh oh, who’s the mom!!??  Aww, he’s a composer.  And he’s competing!  Aww, and Jack left him a message.  Sweet…..so who’s the mom!!??

Hmm, Jacob didn’t see Hurley until AFTER he left the island.  I think he’s the only one that sees him after they crashed.  And now we’re at a lighthouse, that we’ve never seen before.  What are the odds?

Crazy Claire is only marginally more tolerable than regular Claire.  They tortured Claire just like Sayid.  What?  Now Jin’s speaking up?  What the hell?  Guy, you need to shut up.  Claire is vulnerable, she will kill your ass….and there she goes.

So what’s the view from the top of the lighthouse going to be?  Haha, I would love for Jack’s kid toplay the music fom LOST.  That would be awesome.  I want to say Kate is the mom, but that doesn’t fit her ALT world.  That is the Samarai’s kid!  Excellent.

Is that the stupid time travel wheel?  108 degrees, seriously?  Oooh, are those names on the wheel?  It’s the world.  It’s the whole freaking world.   They pull people in from everywhere.  Ooh, what do we see at 23!?  It’s Jack’s house, from his childhood.

Umm, why don’t we turn it to 108?  Oh Shit, he’s breaking the glass.  Great.  Idiot.

So obviously Jacob knew jack would do that.

Back to David.  Like father, like son, like grandson.  And he’s righting the past.  Kinda nice to see something good happening in ALT world.  Also, bullshit that his mom wasn’t at that audition.

Back to Jacob.  And why couldn’t have Hurley have seen him?  He sees dead people.  That’s his thing.  Whatever, like Jacob can’t be seen on the lighthouse or something?  And now Hurley gets it.  I wonder what was at 108?

Someone bad coming to the temple?  Claire?

Why doesn’t Claire believe him?  Why is Jin now lying?  What is Jin playing along?  Did he really think Claire was going to kill him?

Great, so devil man is her friend.  Who has no name.  So this just makes me believe, even more, that Jacob’s good and not evil.
