Episode Recap - "The Little Prince"

The Little Prince

Seems fairly obvious that they want us to think the title refers to Aaron.. So either it's a hint and Aaron is special... like we've thought all along, or it's meant to distract us from the real story. I think it's a hint. Let's think about this... I have a theory.

Locke dies to bring the O.8. back to the island. We know this from the season 4 finale... What if Aaron is Locke. Or a reincarnation of him... I keep thinking back to the episode last season where Richard visited Locke as a boy. If you remember, he showed little Locke an assortment of objects. These were presented to Locke as a test to see if he was who Richard thought he might be. It reminds me of the way they choose the Dalai Lama or other religious leaders in Tibetan Buddhism.. The Lama dies and the monks go throughout the country looking for his reincarnation. They present certain children with a group of the Lama's posessions to see how he (it's always a male, apparently) reacts.. If he chooses the correct object, he is deemed the reincarnation of the Lama....This is my understanding of it anyway... It's the same as Richard did with Locke.

Locke failed the test, but this could be inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.. what is significant is that throughout the entire series, we've been made to feel as if Aaron is special in some way. It's becoming more and more clear that Locke is special, too. So I'm posing this theory and I want to get your thoughts on it:

Aaron is Locke is Jacob.

By the way, they showed the birth of Aaron this episode.. coincidence?.. Dont be distracted by Jin coming back... that doesn't matter in the big picture.

Episode Recap - "Jughead"

I need to watch this again...

Jughead

Sarah came up with a great theory about the woman who had the gun pointed at Faraday in 1954... She's his mom. My mom said that she thinks Charles Widmore and Faraday's mom get a little biz-ay in 1954 and produced Charlotte... And that Faraday's mom (and Charlotte's mom) is Charlotte's constant. This theory has a lot of holes in it.. to begin with, Charlotte is too young to have been born in 1954. But with time travel, anything is possible, right?

Random observations

Just a quick post about random observations and conversations I've had with people about the show this week..

It's possible that Miles (the guy who talks to dead people) is the son of the Dr from the films.. and the baby in the beginning of "Because you left." If so, it means he was likely born on the island... why else would they bother to show that he had a baby?

Faraday told Sawyer repeatedly that since Desmond hasn't met Sawyer "yet" then it would be impossible for them to meet now.. because you can't "create a new string" etc... So why is Faraday able to meet Desmond?.. and isn't Faraday trying to "create a new string" by telling Desmond to change the future by going to Oxford?

If Desmond is able to change the future, meaning that Faraday changed the future by telling Desmond to go to Oxford, that means it is possible to change the future.. in which case, I predict that Sun will change the future to rescue Jin.

When Ethan confronts Locke in the woods, Ethan seems oblivious to the impending purple flash.. but when Faraday confronts Desmond, Desmond sees the flash coming. Why is this?

We know a little about Faraday's background and (maybe if he is the baby) a little about Miles's.. So what about Charlotte's background? what's the deal with her? Why did Miles suggest that she'd been on the island before?... and why didn't she seem to know what he was talking about?

and last but not least.. Jacob could be Locke... from the future.

This season, rather than post the entire episode recap, I'm going to provide links to the abc episode recaps.

The Lie
Because You Left

My favorite line from last night wasn't even from the show.. it was from Sarah, "C'mon man! It took me like 10 years just to understand Back to the Future!"

I know it's still early in the season, but does anyone have any thoughts?

5 top mysteries that haven't been solved.

I'll check back in at the end of the season and see what's been revealed.

We just happened to turn on ABC at 8 o'clock tonight.. They were starting a 3-hour recap of last season's finale. It was glorious.
