3x5 - "The Cost Of Living" Present
Island Number 1 - Where the action's at this week.
Mr. Eko
1. Judgement day has come for Mr. Eko. The visions of his brother are so real that they burned down the tent Eko was resting in.
2. His trek through the jungle leads him back to the beechcraft where the body of Yemi is nowhere to be found? This isn't the first time this happened. Go back to "White Rabbit," when the body of Christian Shepherd was missing from his coffin and Jack nearly had a face to face encounter with him.
3. Was that Yemi or the Monster he confessed to? Was it the same monster that backed off last season that killed Eko this week? What did Eko say to Locke before he died? CAN WE GO FOR LIKE SIX EPISODES WITHOUT AN INTERESTING CHARACTER DIEING?!?!?!?!
Locke, Desmond, Sayid, Paulo, Nikki
1. How is Desmond aware of what the computer in the hatch was capable of? I don't think that Kelvin told him anything like that so is it more of his insight into the future?
2. Interesting choice for Locke to extend an open invitation for that expidition. Of course Paulo and Nikki just HAD to tag along. I say again, no real reason to care about these characters, they're just THERE! Okay well Nikki did let on about the TVs connecting to other cameras possibly in other hatches.
3. Just who is the man with the eyepatch? Could he be the owner of the glass eye Eko found in "the Other 48 Days?"
Island Number 2
1. That was a somber funeral sequence to start things off. They burned Colleen's body and set her adrift at sea, very touching.
2. Cute little flirty with Jack and Juilet, "I killed the cow, processed the meat..." yeah yeah folks. Given what happened last week and what Jack said about "not caring about making her feel better" that just didn't seem plausable.
3. Ben has a tumor on his spine, and believes that God brought Jack to him in order to save his life.
Lets go all the way back to "One of Them," when Ben was still known as Henry Gale. Didn't it seem strange that the others, knowing full well that the survivors have the passenger manifest, would send one person on a suicide mission just to capture John Locke? When the Others sent people to capture the plane crash survivors, they were sending out an entire team of people on these missions. Of course now it would be too dangerous knowing that the suvivors have an arsenal at their disposal and this mission was clearly for Ben's own survival, and suddenly it makes so much more sense that Ben was coing for Jack and not Locke. The fact that Ben acted alone could add to the speculation that there really is descention among the Others.
4. Why is Juilet trying to get Ben killed? Why are there people who want him dead? Why are they too afraid to do anything themselves? Why is Ben a liar? All this and more in the weeks to come.
Update 11/4 - Parting Thoughts: If the Monster really is taking the forms of dead people from it's target's past, it would explain why we have seen Christian Shepherd in "White Rabbit" and why the image of Yemi, the horse from "What Kate Did," and possibly the boar that harassed Sawyer in "Outlaws" were the Monster taking a tangable form. Yet what is the reason? Why is the monster acting this way? One thought I have, is that the Monster could be a physical manifistation of God. I'm not endorsing this theory because it would be a very bold move for the writers to make but I feel it's necessary to throw it out into the open.
SHUTDOWN!

I remember that Kelvin mentioned the editing of the film, so it's possible that Desmond knew about it. I also completely forgot about the dissapearance of Jack's father's corpse, and that makes things all the more intriguing. Paulo and Nikki are really strange and I'm not a fan. I said to someone, had that not been seen first when Locke rescued Eko, we would probably like them more. I mean, if the first time we saw Paulo was when Desmond needed the golf club, and then saw Nikki for the first time last night, that would have been better. It also would have been good had other losties gone that didn't speak, just to make it look a touch more real. I think Eyepatch is Rabinski and he's at the flame. I could be really wrong about that, but God did he freak me out. Several people have mentioned to me that maybe Juliet is trying to take over the others, and that she seems to be very ruthless. I hadn't thought about the flirty, but you could be right. I didn't notice it last night, but I'll look more closely when I watch again. Good episode last night, I thought.

I have to disagree about it being Radzinsky. Kelvin clearly saw and buried his dead body, after Radzinsky ate a shotgun as his last meal. They also screwed up the eyepatch image in the promo for that episode.
I hear it's been confirmed that it's not him, but I think it was sort of logical. I'm excited to see how it plays out either way.

Yeah, I'm really looking foward to learning about the man with the eyepatch. Just 24 more hours until the final episode of the year.
