"Guess I should put some pants on." "He was a better man than I could ever be." "You know the rules!" LOST 6.4 RECAP

Last night, so many questions were answered.  I knew that when Plushenko came out of retirement, it would piss everyone off. But, Lysacek gave him a run for his money and we’ll see how everyone does in the free skate tonight. Plus, that was an amazing outfit from Johnny Weir. He does respect the sport while having fun…

Oh, wait! I’m supposed to be talking about LOST. Sorry, I didn’t watch last night because, I mean, c’mon! It’s the Winter Olympics! Only happens every 4 years!

Kidding! Like, dislikes, thoughts and theories:

What I liked:

-          Sawyer drinking.

-          Hugo helping Locke

-          Rose!

What I disliked:

-          I think Chris Adams said a while back that the story is dragging or something like that. And yeah, I didn’t really love this episode. The story is sagging under answering questions. Don’t get me wrong! I love question answering, but this is reminding me of Season 2 where it took like 6 episodes for the story to get going.

-          Ben is a high school history teacher. Really?

-          Richard and Flocke’s conversation really goes no where.

Thoughts and theories:

-          At first, Flocke sees a child, arms extended with the end of his wrists looking very bloody and Richard can’t see him. Then, he shows up again and this time Sawyer can see him and Flocke gives chase. Who is the kid? At first, I was like, “Well, maybe it’s Jacob reborn,” but as soon as I say his face, I knew who the kid was: Aaron. Don’t know why or how, but that is Aaron! I know it! And until the show proves me wrong, I’m sticking with it.

-          Two minor things about Flocke last night: 1) Why chase Aaron in his “human” form? Once I got out of sight of Sawyer, I would have busted into Smoky. 2) Why is he stuck in that form? They just kind of throw that out there.

-          If Sawyer becomes a follower (disciple), then this promo pic is starting to make more sense: All of Jacob’s “followers” on the right and Flocke’s on the left. Sayid was on the list, but he’s sick just like Claire. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into this. I do that.

-          Flocke takes the white stone and throws it away, off of the balance scale. But, the biggest thing last night:

4  8  15  16  23  42

IS

-       4 – Locke

8 – Reyes

15 – Ford

16 – Jarrah

23 – Shephard

42 – Kwon

WHY? WHY? WHY? So, there was hundreds of names on that wall. And those six just happened to be assigned numbers that crashed on the Island. Crashed because those numbers were part of a computer program for DHARMA that Desmond did not type in on time. Numbers that were on the side of a hatch that Locke found in the jungle. Numbers that a crazy man talked to Hugo about and he used to win the lottery. So, what are the numbers really?

Fate. Destiny. The fact that they were hand picked by Jacob. And maybe that those random numbers are truly random.

So, why isn’t Kate on the list? Jacob came to her when she was a child. So, she must have a different number that has already been crossed off. Because it’s very unclear from what they showed in the episode if there are more names not crossed off then those last 6, or last 5 now that Locke is gone. There might be 2 dozen numbers/names still on that wall and Flocke just showed the ones that Sawyer would know that aren’t crossed off.

-          From that, I don’t believe anything that Flocke says. He is the “devil” and is lying to Sawyer a lot, so when it came to the numbers and the “options”. I didn’t believe anything Flocke told Sawyer because it was:

1)      Stay Until You’re Crossed Out (means nothing as they have left and come back to the Island)

2)      Take Over And Become The New Jacob (no, why would Jacob need a successor only if he knew he was going to die and then he would have done a better job?)

3)      Leave. (which is what Flocke really wants to do)

-          Basically, Flocke gave Sawyer two crappy options that he knew Sawyer wouldn’t want and only left the third option that he knew Sawyer would take. I mean, he could have offered Sawyer like gold, women, a palace, etc. but all Sawyer wants to do is leave, so Flocke guided him to that decision.

-          And here is from Lostpedia every other time the numbers have come up:

  Spoken by Leonard in the mental hospital; he originally heard them with Sam Toomey when they were in the Navy together in the Pacific.("Numbers")

  Winning lottery numbers used by Hurley. ("Numbers")

  A transmission of the Numbers led Danielle to the Island. ("Numbers") ("The Little Prince")

  Danielle's notes contained the Numbers written 7 times, along with a mathematical formula. ("Numbers")

  On the entrance hatch to the Swan. ("Exodus, Part 2")

  On the blast door in the Swan. ("Lockdown")

  Entered into the Swan computer. ("Adrift")

  On the medicine that Desmond injects into his arm. ("Man of Science, Man of Faith"), ("Orientation")

  On the vial that Claire was injected with in the Medical Station. ("Maternity Leave")

  When Hurley's car broke down they showed the speedometer (in km/h) go from 16 to 15 to 8 to 4. The dashboard also displayed a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and 42 km on the odometer. ("Exodus, Part 2")

  When Hurley rides past 6 players of a girls' soccer team in the airport, each uniform has one of the Numbers. ("Exodus, Part 2")

  Quite possibly put on the white rabbits on the island

  LAPD police car numbers. ("Two for the Road")

  The mileage on Hurley's fixed up Camaro displays the numbers, leading to Hurley's running away from his birthday party. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")

  Eko's stick has the numbers etched on it.

  Kate's trial number is 4815162342 ("Eggtown")

  Being stamped into the door of the hatch ("Some Like It Hoth")

  A transmission of the Numbers can be heard over the plane's radio as Aijira 316 crash-lands on Hydra Island. ("Namaste")
