Oh boy

Box go Boom...No touch

GOOD MONDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can barely contain my glee after reading the press release for this week's episode entitled 'The Brig'...This will be a semi flashback for Locke and what he's been up to lately...As you can see from the picture, he's involved with Sawyer in some capacity and I'll let you all deduce your own conclusions as to WHERE they are on the island, based on the picture.
None of this is spoilerish by the way, if you've seen the previews but for those that haven't, I'll stop with all of that...
I do want to clear up some things from some past episodes and these come from the podcast that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse do weekly, in support of the previously aired episode and they sort of tease the next episode. I'll stay away from spoilers so feel free to read on:

• The parachutist's name is Naomi. This has been released in all of the episode summaries available to TV Guide.
• The survivors are NOT in purgatory. Stop spreading that vile rumor.
• Naomi's comment about Flight 815 could be read 2 different ways. Either she's lying or like I mentioned last week, it's a cover up...time will tell....
• Patchy is alive and it's from the fence being at a lower setting in it's sonic state. He did not rise from the dead, regardless of appearance. The question I have is: Is the fence really strong enough to kill someone or just hurt them ridiculously bad??

If you are more than a casual fan, I implore you not to miss this week's episode. It is bound to be the best one of the year.

Also steer clear of the TV Guide magazine: It does contain some spoilers for this year's season finale. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!

EPdeLFC out!

5 times more

Okay...Because I've been pressed for time lately, I've enlisted the help of my neighbor's kid, to help me write the update. Basically I tell her what I think and she types it up. I don't have time to proof read it so I hope she gets it right....Later EP


OMG!!!!! It's totally the creepy eye patch guy....ewwww, he still has dried up blood in his ears!!!..GROSS!!! and that jumpsuit has got to be stinky!!! Seriously, this guy needs a bath...it reminds me of Kurt at school and the time he went on that camping trip for like, a month or something and his clothes were all dirty...
Anyway, EP told me that the fence thingy must not have been turned on high or something and that's why Patchy lived...Or maybe he had the same kind of implant that Claire did and he could make blood shoot out of his ears...that is disgusting...
Then Patchy tells The Fellowship of the Parachutists that she'll be better in a day and a half and that "the rules are a little different on this island"...I don't get this show, I swear...that's why none of my BFFs watch it...the Hills is such a better show and the mystery is much more involved..I mean, really..I love LC! She's amazing!!
Anyway...EP wanted to make sure I mentioned this above all else and then I can go back to my homework:
The parachutist spoke in Italian at one point when Patchy was working on her. Apparently the early buzz on the net is that she said "I'm not alone"...so be on the lookout for some other parachutists, I guess....
Oh and the fact that she said Flight 815 was found and that everyone was dead didn't impress EP much. He said that any company that secretly funds an island of research, owns a sub and an airplane facility easily has enough money to fake a plane crash....where they came up with the dead bodies isn't much of a mystery either considering they probably just robbed a morgue....
That was it...there were a few moments when I LMAO and then I was like, WTF? but all in all, I can't wait until next week....Deuces, peeps!!!

Catch 22

Now THAT is a terrible way to die.............

GOOD THURSDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today's first update will be brief. I want to hit on the big ideas from last night and then, hopefully, when I return to headquarters, I can sit down and write a proper theory on TIME TRAVEL and Future events..
First, do you all recall the season finale of last year? Specifically the 2 Portuguese fellows in the Arctic station who detect the "anomaly" and alert Penny Widmore?
Well guess what? She found the place...at least all signs point to that. First piece of evidence was the book and title of last night's show, "Catch-22". The parachutist had a Portuguese version of it in her bag, along with the picture of Des and Penny, which could of course, be the biggest clue of all, if she hadn't murmured Desmond's name after he pulled her helmet off.

Speaking of which, that's a pretty intense outfit for a parachutist and most likely leads to her coming from a VERY HIGH altitude. I'm no master of parachuting but I've seen it on TV. I believe you have to fly pretty high to have to be assisted by an helmet and oxygen supply. The helicopter sound was very interesting as well and I'm hoping more will be illuminated on that.

The other big thing from last night was the picture on the monk's desk, when Des handed in his robe. My good buddy, Jon at the TailSection website, had a great screen capture, so all credit goes to him for publishing.

Now the question for later is, what does this mean? Are there forces outside of this determining Desmond's path? If so, what are their intentions? Saving humanity by forcing Des down the path to turning the key? Are there other time travelers, like the monk and the old lady? Are they good? Or EVIL?

Too many to ask right now, but ask them I shall!!!!

But later...

Anagrams

Somewhere, out there, Sara Neal just got the "willies"......

GOOD TUESDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today's LOST lesson is ANAGRAMS. Anagrams are defined as :A word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
LOST is absolutely famous for these...Why just look above at the picture of Ethan. When asked his name by Hurley, he said Ethan Rom, which can be rearranged to spell "Other Man", which is what he turned out to be...an Other...pretty creepy and cool, eh?
Let's take a look at another possible anagram from this week's Juliet episode. We know Juliet was courted by Mittelos Bioscience.

Mittelos can be rearranged into "LOST TIME". I wouldn't think much of that, except that Richard Alpert(I need to correct this from yesterday, in which I called him Mr. Halpert, which was me channeling Jim Halpert from the Office..:)), said that Time seems to fly by where they are going(the Island)...This kind of wording leads me into a theory about time moving much slower on the island, versus what's happening in the real world...I don't have any strong proof, just speculation based on interviews and really straight hearsay, so I'll leave that alone until the time is right...
Another anagram is the plane company Richard Alpert and Ethan were using, Herarat Aviation.

Herarat by itself could rearrange to Earhart, as in Amelia Earhart, the famed female pilot who's plane mysteriously disappeared, oh so many years ago, kind of like Flight 815.....
Or you could put Herarat Avaition all together and get A Variation Earth, which could imply that the Dharma Initiative was working on recreating a better earth and the Others are fulfilling that mission...who knows??
Lest you all worry about my mental health, I culled this information from the world wide web. I love my LOST spoiler sites and I greatly enjoy the info I find on there, so I thought I'd share. All the credit goes out to those like me who strive to find every last little mystery there is on this show. I applaud them all.
Just for fun, I decided to throw my own name into an anagram decipher system...Jason Brown can be arranged to Worn Banjos..which is close to Used Guitars, which is my Indian name, so take these things for what they're worth. It's not an exact science..:)

We all arrive in a yellow submarine...

2 guys and a girl...



GOOD MONDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah!! EP is back in tha hizzy!!!!.....The vacation has officially landed back in the States and it's time to get back to business....
Let's get right to it..No time for gabbing..
"One of Us" was full of big time reveals. Let's set them out straight:
1. Juliet was brought to the island in the submarine. She was given a tranquilizer because, according to Mr. Halpert, the ride can get a little bumpy.
When Juliet comes to on the sub, Ethan informs her that the last leg is always the hardest. I think this is in reference to the Islands strong magnetic force. By coming in under water, they can circumvent the force field. That's my theory.
2. The women on the island all die when giving birth. Not for the lack of the Other's trying to keep them alive, I would say. Obviously, they wouldn't keep sacrificing their own, just to get a baby. Which means that they wouldn't have let Claire die when they had her. But Alex seemed to think that she would suffer the same fate, so she helped get her free.
Juliet seemed to think the problem was at conception, which doesn't bode well for our newly pregnant Sun. Unless of course, we all believe that she did in fact get pregnant from her lover and not Jin. We'll see soon enough, I can promise you that.
3. "Jacob" was referenced again. This time Ben told Juliet that Jacob would cure her sister's cancer. And then Ben said, "Unless you don't have faith in Him", which caused Juliet to pause. This means to me, that Jacob is alive and well and on the island and Juliet has met him.
I have my theories as to who I think Jacob is but I'll hold them back for now. It seems so obvious to me that it can't be valid. So I'll wait.
4. Juliet has a great back.

And Goodwin has been appreciating it along with some homemade ice cream. Now I'm really glad he met the end of a really sharp stick via Ana Lucia.
5. Juliet discovered that Ben had a tumor. Ben promised that he could have her siter's cancer cured. Ben was surprised. Juliet threw a fit and thereby, kicked Ben out of the book club. So much for a previous love affair. We now see that she had a valid reason to hate Ben, or at least be mistrustful of him.
I thought it was interesting that Ben swore on his word to Juliet. He was very offended to be called a liar. It's just interesting because we know how he likes to play his mind games.
6. The Others really had some great communications with the outside world. Live direct feeds, cable TV...pretty cool stuff.
7. And finally the big reveal at the end that Juliet was in cahoots with Ben the whole time.

They had this thing planned down to the last detail, save one. I really don't think they know who Desmond is. He arrived on the island through a back door somehow and was rescued by Inman. And then he lived there for 3 years. I wonder if he arrived on the island the same day that Juliet did via the sub??? I'm willing to bet that that's exactly what happened.
There's a whole time loop thing that I have explored previously and it's starting to rear it's weird little head again. I'll save it for another time but I really feel like it's an issue we will have to explore.
So let's just review some things that have happened over the last couple of episodes. If you read between the lines and look big picture, this season has been so revelational that it warrants some deeper analysis.
Let's talk about the "implant" that made Claire sick. The Others were able to trip it, causing her to feel sick and more importantly: BLEED FROM THE HEAD. It's hard to see but blood came shooting out of her nose. That's funny. Didn't blood come shooting out of someone else on the island a couple of weeks ago???? That's right: Mikhail, aka Patchy.
Dollars to doughnuts, that one eyed Russian is alive and well.
Remember that the Others are MASTERS of deception. They wear costumes to throw the survivors off, they conned Sawyer into thinking his heart had a bomb placed in it(ooohhh the Rabbit! Remember Ben shaking it until it "died"?..more proof!)
In that vain, I want you all to think of how Nikki and Paulo died. They were bitten by a spider that could paralyze one so convincingly, that that person appeared dead.
Put on your thinking caps and hop in the time machine. Who else has been dead on this show from NO mortal wound??? I'll give you a hint. He liked the sauce. He was on a bender. In Australia. And he was in a body bag. And his son was trying to get his body on the plane. And his son found his casket. And the casket was empty.
Christian Shepard, Jack's dad.
This is all speculation folks but think about that episode of Nikki and Paulo. It served no real purpose but to tell a moral story, right? Greed is bad. Okay, fair enough. But it's the between the line stuff that is leading me down this path.... Fake death. Faked death and or sickness....The signs are there, it's just a little foggy.....Have we seen the last of Christian Shepard? Is he in fact, alive and well?And if so, in what capacity?
That's a pretty big thinker and I feel good enough about it to leave it sitting there for all to enjoy..:)
That's how I roll...
Peace!!

Back again for the first time

Hello. My name is Juliet. And I am a bad a$$....

GOOD FRIDAY, LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I actually mean that...

Let's talk about "Left Behind", episode 15 for season 3....We have 8 more episodes left for this year and they are rounding the bend and as I like to say: Business is about to pick up!

Let's start with the obvious. As I made mention earlier in the week, there was a major "crossing". Kate and Cassidy.

Like a modern day Thelma and Louise, except without Brad Pitt and they didn't blow anything up..But they did however, unwittingly, sleep with the same man....Sawyer gets around. I'll be the first to say it. The guy has seriously been with 5 women since the show came on...The writers are certainly playing him up as a rabble rouser, which is different than razzle dazzle but I digress...

Cassidy helps Kate ask her mom why she turned her in. Turns out it was love. I think we are finally getting the answer to what Kate really did. Yes, she blew up her father and yes, she robbed a bank to get a toy plane that belonged to her childhood sweetheart, who was killed trying to help her escape. Yes..my baby's done a bad, bad thing.

The point is that her actions have caused serious harm to those involved. And her actions, which she thought were altruistic, were actually selfish and beneficial only to her own motives. She didn't like her stepdad because he beat her mother. Who would?? But she took justice into her own hands and commited a sin. MURDER.

She tried to see her mom again in the hospital, to appeal to her mom that she killed Hank for her mother's well being and in the end, caused another person to die. I'll attribute that to GREED.

I'm mixing my sins with my 10 commandments but Locke had it right.

the short of it, is that Kate isn't a good person. She has done some pretty awful stuff. Locke's admission that the Others weren't very forgiving was interesting. I guess they are forgiving of someone who caused two of their people to die(pushing one through a sonic fence)...I think we may actually see that Patchy ain't dead...It would absolve Locke from murder, or maybe Ben gave him immunity for an island information exchange. Whatever it was it brought up two things to note:

Locke's hand was bandaged. So we may see some back story as to what happened right after he saw his dad tied up in the room to when he talks to Kate.

The other thing was Locke saying "I don't want to go home". Locke has become an Other. Whether he'll be as evil as they seem to be or if he's using them to gain some more insight into the island remains to be seen.

It is my opinion that Left Behind has a bunch of different meanings. One is that there was a trade on the show: Juliet for Locke. An other for the others, if you will. Both could be seen as pulling some "long cons". The fact that the episode actually referred to a person that was involved in a long con(Cassidy) sets the idea in motion. Locke is using the Others to find out more about the Island and Ben is using Juliet to find out more about the survivors of 815.

It's all about the mind games.

Juliet is wicked tough

So let's talk about good old Juliet. She was left behind. Don't feel sorry for her. She's not to be trusted and as far as I can tell, she may be the second in command after Ben. She seems to be at his side for the most part. I think she may have made a deal with the devil and now it's all coming down to her doing her part. We'll find out next week.

Wouldn't t be interesting if the Others didn't view death as a bad thing? Especially killing someone in the interest of promoting their cause? Think about this: Suppose the Others are working towards something that we'll call "The Greater Good". Basically saving the world. To die for that cause would be totally acceptable because of the BELIEF. So Juliet shoots Danny with what we consider zero remorse. She doesn't feel bad about it. It's part of the PROCESS. The belief that when he's killed, he's been killed for the greater good. He may have actually been happy to die. Perhaps they believe that when they die, they are actually able to leave the island and return to the REAL WORLD.

I'm not saying this is purgatory and redemption gets you out of it. I'm swinging more towards reincarnation. Or being thrown back to the beginning of your life. Like Desmond. He should have died when he turned that key. Instead it looks like he was given another chance.

So imagine that when Patchy shot Mrs. klugh and then Locke pushed Patchy into the fence, they were all acting for the greater good. Locke was a little less informed but his intention was the same: Preserve the greater good.

The island. All of this is to protect whatever the island represents. Whether it is an actual "magic box" is to be determined. But suppose it's the kind of place where you can be anything you want. Take Juliet as a case in point. A meek, walked all over lady transformed to kick butt, tough as nails, steely reserve woman. The island made her that way. She's had her shoulder dislocated 4 times??? Doing what?

I'm getting way off track...Let's circle back to the show and Mr Smokey....was he taking pictures of Juliet and Kate as they were hiding in the tree? remember Eko's first encounter with Smokey? The flashes were his memories. I would like to beleive that's what we saw this past week as well. Smokey was taking some mental notes on one of those 2 and my money is on Juliet.

Let's not forget Smokey doesn't seem to like PRIDE. And Juliet looked mighty defiant on the other side of that fence..I think that's the tell to this episode. We're made to believe that Kate is the bad one that Smokey is after but it could be Juliet. You think she hasn't stood on the other side of that fence before and looked at that thing?? And if it can rip trees out of the ground and hover and fly around, why couldn't it go OVER the fence like Kate and the gang did 2 episodes ago? Very odd.....

So next week it's back to the beach, with Juliet in tow....

We'll see how she got there and I'm interested in the line:

Juliet:If I told you everything, you'd kill me.

Sayid: What do you think I'll do if you don't?

I personally don't think Sayid will do anything but who knows? maybe he's had enough of this bs..:)

That's all for me...I'm out of the country on some diplomatic affairs all of next week and then I'll be back. Rest assured that when I come back, there will be a full on assault on next week's episode: One of Us
