Season 4, Episode 8- Meet Kevin Johnson

sorry this blog is late- went out last night, came home, watched it pretty late and am only getting to the update now. here goes (and argh- no new episodes til 4/24!)

Locke says it has taken a few days to figure out our next move (referring to the game of life/chess).

3 of his people - referring to the holy trinity.

Beeping noise on the boat was the same as in the hatch.

3 million bucks your buddy asked for.

Miles offered loyalty in exchange for the money. what kind of loyalty can he give if he is there to kill ben and ben knows this.

Linus will find a way to get it. He wants to survive. a week ago you had a gun to his head and tonight he's eating pound cake, he gets what he wants. "let them eat cake" Marie Antoinette is known for saying this in regards to the poor- the poor were suffering. However, the quote actually comes from the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who commented that a "certain princess" said it, the supposed princess being Louis XIV's queen, Maria Teresa of Spain.

Is Alex is pregnant? she was holding her stomach.

Temple on the map was a dharma symbol.. it's a sanctuary. is it a sanctuary from a nuclear blast? The rest of our people are there. the temple is for us. is the temple by the big foot?

The song playing in the car when Michael tries to kill himself is "It's Getting Better" by Cass Elliot, who also recorded Make Your own Kind of Music which was playing when they first discovered the hatch and saw Desmond.


There is an older man lying in the hospital bed next to Michael- it looks like Locke's father. http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Older_man

Libby is carrying blankets as she did when Michael shot her.

Almost every person in this episode had the black eyes- no pupils but a white speck.


Michael had Jin’s watch which was given to him by Sun's father. He's now trading it for a gun with bullets, and Jin let him have it to protect himself.

Tom, the other says- We let you leave one island and you just go to another. it's not your time to go- you have work to do (common phrase on lost).

We are the ones who sent you home. We gave him back to you. You are the one who lost him.

Shared the guilt with a 10 yr old kid. He knows you are a murderer. You cannot kill yourself -the island won’t let you. Michael tried to kill himself 5 times in this episode. once in a car accident, once in the alley with a gun, twice in his apartment with the gun, and once again on the freighter.
Jack, Desmond, (and maybe Hurley and Charlie) also tried to kill themselves.
Most religions feel that suicide is a sin (and is stated by he writings of St. Thomas Aquinas- TOM THE OTHER!) and you will not be allowed into the gates of heaven. in christianity if you commit any moral sins, you are stuck in purgatory until you have rectified your sins. Purgatory is living amongst the living until you have rectified those duties.

Hotel Earle is a fictional hotel which is a metaphysical manifestation of hell itself for an awkward, isolated New York City writer in the 1994 Coen Brothers film Barton Fink.

Kurt Vonnegut author of Slaughterhouse Five, is mentioned as an answer on the game show Michael is watching.

Tom says- Some of us can come and go. We know Ben can.

The bodies to cover up 815 were dug up from a cemetery in Thailand. what is the Thai connection?

Shell company vessel number 2950-D? (2+9+5=16, 16 is a number) client number 209

Joining the crew as a deckhand if Widmore finds the island he will kill them all without thinking twice.

How did Michael know Naomi was from Manchester? was it from knowing Charlie's accent?

I’ll be seeing you - the eyes.

Port of Suva - Suva is home to The TRAFFIC Oceania South Pacific Programme - funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, is located in Suva, in the offices of the WWF South Pacific Programme. The programme assists in the implementation of CITES, but also strengthens collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature.

80% of the people are lying about something (8 is a number)

Why did Tom mention Sun, Sawyer, Jack, Claire and her baby specifically as the ones whose lives to save?

It's game time- are you in or out? - game.

Comparison between landing on the moon as a fake with Oceanic 815. Can you imagine what would happen if we found some of those people alive? (the media blitz that does ensue as well as the trauma they go through post-island)

71776 was the code Michael punched in.

Choices. You can or can’t die. life vs death is a constant theme of the show. it isn't michael's time to die because he has work to do- to make up for killing libby and ana lucia. but no one asked him to kill them.

What a man would do for his son- constant father/son themes.

Jack Nicholson in the shining.next thing you know you will go after your wife with an axe.

There was a statue of a Buddha when Ben was talking to Michael.

Ben says-People on the boat innocent. they don't know the man who they work for is a killer without conscience. When I am at war I will do what I have to do but I will not kill people. Ben reminding us he's a good one and tells Michael to consider himself one of the good guys. Ben killed his father.

Michael Dawson is a traitor . Is he Judas- redeeming his sins? Sayid winds up working for ben as well.

Is your dad playing us- game reference again.

Danielle protecting her child. Why did Ben send them to the Temple- was it to have Karl and Danielle killed? but he doesn't kill. is Danielle really dead?

In the upcoming episode when they says the oceanic 6 are revealed, they show Kate, Jack, Sun, Hurley, Aaron & Sayid. i still don't count Aaron but oh well- guess he is one? or maybe not.

RIP?


til 4/24....

Isn't Mike the final castaway of the "Oceanic Six?"
Although, it looks like him and Walt arriving was a secret, but wouldn't that make it the "Oceanic Seven"
