GOOD THURSDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but I just couldn't resist putting this first!! Not a pleasant way to go but I nearly messed myself when Locke just looks at the rest of them and says "Sorry"....
So let's jump right into it..Why did Patchy say Thank you?..because after he shot Mrs. Klugh last week, he was about to shoot himself and Locke stopped him. when Sayid had the gun on him, he told Sayid to Finish it!..But Sayid did not....
So why would you so willingly want to kill yourself? Why put your own life behind a cause? and what would that cause be??
It must be something special to be so willing to lay your life down for it.....perhaps there's something waiting for these "others" in the next life...I dunno...we'll wait and see, I suppose...

Isn't it funny that Claire worked in a tattoo parlor and Jack just had an episode that talked about his tattoo??? NO??? is it just me?..:)
So Jack and Claire are half siblings...not a big shock..more coincidence, if you ask me...until I started thinking about it....There's a couple of things: Jack is Claire's baby uncle(not to be confused with baby daddy)...I don't know the significance of this, other than he's been treating his nephew for rashes and the such...The bigger thing is the man responsible for both Jack and Claire's existence: Christian Shepard. I feel like we've seen more of him than some of the living people on the island. There has to be a reason behind that. I feel very strongly that Papa Shepard is linked to DHARMA and maybe even the others in some capacity. I don't have an answer but I do have suspicion..and I will wield that like a sword until proven otherwise...
