Season 5, Episode 12- The Incident (Season Finale)

I am not sure how I'm gonna spend the hiatus. it's truly depressing and that episode was a mind fuck!! And we have to wait til 2010.. ARGH!!

- Jacob eating fish.. fish is biblical. The fish Jacob was eating in the beginning was the same fish Jin fed to Claire when Aaron first moved. This could support the theory that Aaron is Jacob. Also, Ben is a Pisces. Interesting original Jacob looked like this:


- I think the dude in the black shirt on the beach is Magnus Hanso, relative of Alvar. Magnus/Magnet. The name "Magnus Hanso" is equal to "The Great Hanso," or "Hanso the Great."
* Magnus was the most popular baby name for boys in Denmark in 2005.
* "Magnus" is a Latin word for "great," "large," "big," "very," "very much," "important," etc.
* Is the Latin form of the Dutch surname "de Groot" (both meaning "The Great").
* Albertus Magnus was a German philosopher and theologian.
* Magnus was one of the greatest alchemists of all time, and was also the discoverer of the legendary "Philosopher's Stone" (which could allegedly be combined with certain metals to create a youth-preserving elixir; that would make its general objective similar to that of the Life Extension Project) and the creator of a supernatural device, an automaton which he named "Android." Using the "angels from the netherworld" and the powers of the Philosopher's Stone, he created "metals and material unknown to this world" and chose them "according to the stars and planets." This "android" was instilled with the powers of speech, thought, and according to some reports, a soul. Upon completion of this project, his student St. Thomas Aquinas destroyed the "diabolic being" and denounced it as "a tool of Satan and a blasphemy to God."
* The "android" could be linked to the Security System.
* Magnus, alias Magnus Lehnsherr, is a member of the Exiles, a group of alternate reality X-Men from the Marvel comic of the same name.
* One of his superpowers is the control of electromagnetic energy.

- Interesting we always hear Patsy Cline when we see Kate in the past. Patsy Cline died in a plane crash at the age of 30. Kate is probably around age 30 (especially since she had a New Kids on the Block lunchbox).

- Guy on the sub told Sawyer "see you on the other side" which Desmond always said. Sawyer wanted to drink his oj and let it be. reminded me of jonestown massacre.

- Dude working on electromagnetic field's name was Edison and he told Pierre Chang he came to change the world.

- What is Lapidus a candidate for?

- Jacob saw Sawyer and Kate as young kids.. but not Jack, Locke or Hurley or Sayid.

- Sayid said "hide in plain sight" you can't hide in plain sight. He get shot doing so. I don't think Sayid will die. If he does, I'll die.

- The people that go out of the way to tell you they are the good guys are the bad guys.

-Juliet was holding her belly. I think she was pregnant. I think she was changing her mind about staying on the island because she was pregnant.. but then she helped give birth to Ethan so maybe she realized she could give birth on the island.

- Rose & Bernard. It looked like Bernard aged & Rose didn't at all. They were very Adam & Eve. Rose & Bernard just wanted to be together and ultimately that's what Sawyer & Juliette wanted. Sawyer kept saying he had a good life here. It was good to see Vincent again!

- Jacob said help me twice (once in the cabin when he whispered and once to Ilana who he was speaking Russian too). Jacob needed Ilana to bring the box with Locke back so that he knew Locke would really be dead so when he came into the confrontation with the clone from the beach he'd know it wasn't really him. Also, Ilana really does look like Ana Lucia, she could be a relative of hers.

- Flannery O'Conner book- "Everything That Rises Must Converge". The book cover on Lost was a dove (religious/Holy Spirit) with an arrow in it. Bernard said they escaped flaming arrows. One of the short stories is entitled "Revelation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revelation_(short_story) Also she based her book on the theory by Teilhard. He studied what he called the rise of spirit, or evolution of consciousness, in the universe. He believed it to be observable and verifiable in a simple law he called the Law of Complexity/Consciousness. This law simply states that there is an inherent compulsion in matter to arrange itself in more complex groupings, exhibiting higher levels of consciousness. The more complex the matter, the more conscious it is. Teilhard proposed that this is a better way to describe the evolution of life on earth, rather than Herbert Spencer's "survival of the fittest." The universe, he argued, strives towards higher consciousness, and does so by arranging itself into more complex structures.

- LOVE that Jin said Jacob's korean was excellent.. a definite jab at how well his English has become!

- The "12345 surgery" is the story Jack told Kate when he first met her. Jacob told Jack he needed a little push (or more like a kick in the balls!)

- Kate had blood on her hands when she was helping Jack.

-Juliet said "live together die alone"- she never heard anyone say this ever.. we all knew she was gonna go.. she had a red shirt on! it was still very sad, but she knew her fate.

- The Arc Of The Covenant is a sacred container which people believe holds the Ten Commandments and Aaron's Rod.(jesus stick- mr eko!) The rod would be a natural symbol of authority, as the tool used by the shepherd to correct and guide his flock. The way the box was being carried by Ilana's group resembled this. Moses led his people on the Exodus which fake Locke did to Jacob.


- The Latin translation for what Richard answers lies beneath the shadow of the status is "he who will save us all"

- Good Vs Evil- both bad Locke & Jacob had shaded faces, Ben's was exposed. This resembled Jesus, Abraham, Moses who questioned God as Ben did and tested his faith. Jacob couldn't reply with a good enough reason for Ben to trust him (also fake Locke/the devil knew to use Ben as a pawn as Ben so often did with Locke) which further upset Ben so he stabbed him. Also Jacob mentioned the loom- made a curtain, the man behind the curtain.

- Milton's story contains two arcs: one of Satan (Lucifer) and another of Adam and Eve. The story of Satan continues the epic convention of large-scale warfare. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and cast down by God into Hell, or as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus. In Pandæmonium, Satan must employ his rhetorical ability to organize his followers; he is aided by his lieutenants Mammon and Beelzebub. Belial and Moloch are also present. At the end of the debate, Satan nominates himself to poison the newly-created Earth. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas.

- Who's coming? The Losties?

- Things aren't going to bode well for Sawyer. He's going to blame Jack for The Incident and taking Juliet away from him! And here we go with the love triangle again.. ugh.

- LOVED the white background with the black letters.. looked like the nuclear holocaust which it was!


RIP Juliet.
RIP Pierre Chang's arm.

Season 5, Episode 15 Follow The Leader

Holy crap it's been a while since I've blogged. I'm sorry.. sometimes it feels like homework and I'm just too tired or I was sick or I was on vacation but no worries people- SCHLOST is back!
um just in time for the season finale next week : /

- the ship in the bottle resembled the black rock. i think richard was on the black rock.

- locke asserting himself as the leader. he hunted a boar. assured ben he wasn't going to stage a coup and said he was going to save his people.

- richard's eyes were jet black when he saw locke back. i also think richard lies about them all dying or it's a cover up, similar to the lies the Oceanic 6 told.

- the guy beating jack looked just like keamy.

- the sub manifest.. same as plane manifest. they questioned hurley on there.. and hurley was the keeper of the plane manifest.

- juliette had on a red shirt. so did hurley under his dharma suit (and his hair was much grayer). are they gonna die? sayid had on a purple shirt, but now it's black and jack/kate/locke/ben all had on blue/purple tones.

- the knife and the compass were the same ones richard had when he went to visit locke as a kid. i think the compass came from the black rock.

- locke's out of body experience.. his timing was impeccable. locke is dead. and can time travel OR his soul can embrace different bodies. maybe he's the smoke monster?

- love that sawyer wants to buy microsoft stock. also in last week's episode, daniel had a copy of wired that whidmore moved. jj abrahms guest edits wired this month!

- - Eloise/Penny. i think eloise is pregnant. Unless Dan graduated Oxford at age 19, she is pregnant with someone other than him, most likely Penny (although i do think dan graduated from oxford early, i like that penny could also be eloise's daughter). When Ben went to kill Penny, she told him that she had no biological connection to Charles Widmore. This means that either A) Eloise had a relationship with another man, further explaining the 'complicated' relationship with Charles that Richard mentioned, or B) Penny has no relation to either Charles or Eloise.

- Sawyer drew the map that Ben eventually gives to Rousseau. Ben has a map to the dharma temple http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bens_Temple_Map.jpg and I think the one Sawyer draws could be this same one. It appeared to be the same notebook.

- is that a young rose in the hostiles that was walking behind locke? where are rose & bernard?

- Dr. Chang gets people off the island.. but there IS an incident as he discusses in a video (and i think this is when he may lose his arm). The finale is called The Incident Parts 1 & 2.

- I think that when John said he was going to kill Jacob what he really meant was that he was going to prove to the group of Others that Jacob Does NOT exist at all.
Thus killing the very notion that he is real and making himself the true leader. After all....John emphasized in his speech that nobody has ever seen Jacob. So basically he believes Jacob doesn't exist and wants to prove it to everyone. I tend to think that maybe Jacob was just an imaginary person that Richard came up with to give the group of people a higher sense of purpose.

OR

- aaron is jacob- he is the chosen one. Richard has to be on the hunt for a chosen one.. always a boy. he took ben by default and thought he would be the one. he wasn't. locke failed the test when he was younger. aaron has always been special. if jacob exists, he's aaron (maybe aaron was born years ago when Richard came to the island and time travelled as jacob). also he is the chosen one because perhaps he is the product of an ongoing feud of whidmore & sheppard. maybe aaron's babydaddy is a relative of whidmore and i could see there being a feud with those two. but he is the product of a warring society and brings peace to the island. this theory could better be explained by karen.

OR

- maybe jacob shapeshifts into different forms and was vincent at some point.

post your theories!
until next week schlosties..
