Observations From The Pearl Pt 2

****Talking about Lost again, Joe....look away. Btw, Tyler Durden is a figment of Ed Norton’s imagination****

Now for the next round of 4 episodes (the links will take you to synopsis of that particular episode)

White Rabbit



Now here’s a concept that I was totally on the lookout for in season 1, that I’ve since practically forgotten about. Where the hell is Jack’s father?
This is the episode where a nearly delirious Jack keeps seeing his Dad walking around the woods. By the time he finds his coffin, we find out that there’s no body inside. While this thread hasn’t really been followed up on, I could totally see it sprouting up again in the future. How much of a mind@#$% would it be if we find out that Dr. Christian Shephard is alive?
There’s a great Locke moment in this episode between him and Jack, where he tells Jack he needs to continue following his father and complete his quest. This is the Locke that I love. I forgot just how cool he was in the first season. Stupid hatch! J



House of The Rising Sun
Once upon a time Jin was a very angry Korean man....
It’s really interesting to see just how far Jin has evolved as a character. Probably more than any other character, Jin has shown the most evolution. Although I do hope we get to see that badass version of Jin that’ll beat you to within an inch of your life again in season 3. It’d be cool to see him flip out on the Others.



The Moth
Charlie sure likes his drugs, and it’s all his brothers fault. The end!

...just kidding. Aside from dealing with Charlie’s little habit, this episode also focused on Sayid trying to triangulate the French broadcast that Rosseau left 16 years ago. Now the signal is another one of those mysteries that hasn’t been followed up on. However, if I recall what we know we may see something in season 3. Here’s what we know:
-The transmission is coming from a Radio tower somewhere near the black rock.
-Previous to Rosseau recording her message, the station simply played a loop of the numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) which was picked up by Hurley’s crazy-person friend (whose name escapes me)
-Rosseau says that the station is now under the control of the others (I don’t remember what episode but I’m 99% sure I’m remembering this correctly)

So if the Others control the Radio Tower, maybe we’ll come across now that Jack, Sawyer and Kate are in the middle of their world....we’ll see.

Confidence Man
This is the episode where we find out the truth behind Sawyer’s letter he’s obsessed with (And that Sayid sure knows what he’s doing when it comes to torture). So the big question, for me at least, is who was the real Mr. Sawyer?
If it’s somebody we’ve already met, my money has to be on Locke’s father. He’s a logical choice, as he’s already shown when he conned his own son. It seems like a natural fit to me....
Either way, knowing this show, we’re destined to find out. And if past revelations are any deduction it’s going tie into something.

I appreciate you breaking up the no-hitter. I was starting to get a little worried there...

What can I say,

If a guy is still freaking out about having 2 YEAR OLD episodes of a TV show spoiled, then I am required to mess with him.
