Lost, Season 6, LA X

Damn how I've missed this show. what am I gonna do when it all ends?

Well, I think I'm honestly going to shout out to my mom's theory because I think she's onto something. My mom rocks!

The original plane that flew back was an Ajira airlines. Some folks wound up on half the island, some folks on the other and in a past time. And all throughout this episode- we had a the losties on the island and on another Oceanic flight. They originally all met to get back on the plane (ajira) to change what happened- and would appear that it changed because a- Juliette's message (it worked) and b- it looks like they are back on the same Oceanic flight, which lands safely at LAX. The episode is also called LA X (space btwn LA & X). X marks the spot!

However, as my mom points out- when Jack Sheppard is called by Oceanic to say they lost his father's body- they DO NOT say Oceanic Flight 815. So maybe they are on another flight and will still have to do some course-correcting to make sure they wind up back on the correct flight.

It's also interesting to know who was on this flight in this episode and who wasn't. And it's a mixture of dead & alive people.

Dead - Boone, Chaly, Locke, Ardnst, Frogurt, Kate's officer, Jin (presumed dead but alive now)
Alive- Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, Rose & her husband, Sun, attendant Cindy
Not Seen- Claire, Shannon, Ana Lucia,
On the plane but disappeared- Desmond, who wasn't on 815.
Check out the "not meant to be section http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Oceanic_flight_815

I also think that they know they were once back on the island.. because Rose's words to Jack "You Can Let Go Now", and Jack to her- "We Made It". Jack and Locke are also the last ones to get off the plane, almost as if they don't want to get off and go back to normal life but stay on the island.

Also the convo btwn Locke & Boone. Locke tells him his hunting expeditions. Boone says he'll stick with him if they crash (which they did) but there's no use in reading the manual. And Boone says, you're pulling my leg- which they were going to amputate Boone's leg before he died (and how many leg wounds has Locke gotten..)

And Chaly, who asked if he was alive.. but who kept saying he was supposed to die. I also found his short hair was not a discrepancy but almost a sign that this is not the original 815 flight. (it's also not noted as a blooper/discrepancy on lostpedia)

I think when this plane hit turbulence was when the incident happened.. NOT desmond hitting the buttons, because that happens on Flight 815.

And flight attendant Cindy who is with Sho 'nuff''s (sorry that's what I'm calling him cause he looks like him - I think his name may be Dugan) crew said - not this plane the first plane.. EXACTLY. First plane is 815.. she was on BOTH flights.

and the island was underwater. this wasn't 815 bc that plane crashed on this island.. this was underground. perhaps this plane flies when the island shifts from the donkey wheel during that time frame.


other observations:

- Does Sayid resurrect as Jacob? Are the new Mayan temple people (including Sho 'nuff!) the new protectors of Sayid/Jacob? They do say if your friend dies we are all in a lot of trouble. Also when they pull Sayid out of the water, he looks like Jesus when John the Baptist baptised him.

- Is Locke now Christian? Christian was alive on the island- his body was not on the plane. Locke & Jack have a conversation about them losing his body, not his father.

- I'm nervous that Hurley has on a red shirt. Red Shirt people usually die. Maybe Hurley is dead already- that's why he can communicate with Chaly, Eko, Jacob and says to a would-be dead Sayid that he he's there if he wants to talk.

- Kate opens her eyes, which was an early indicator of a flashback.

-Juliette saying to Sawyer, we'll have coffee, we'll go dutch. maybe they see each other at the end of the season/in another life? Like Desmond always says to Jack.

- Jack tries to save Chaly with a pen. I remember he saved someone else with a pen- I think it was during the plane rescue. Jacob gave Sawyer a pen at his father's funeral.

- I freeze framed the smoke monster. at one point it's shaped like a polar bear. it also looks like there's a crouching locke in there. And elvis too. just kidding! there's a weird antidote that you can sprinkle around yourself as not to get attacked by the smoke monster. the one guy did it and a beam of light shined above him. Sho 'nuff and his crew also used this dust.

- Police Code 341 (I looked it up and it directed me to cha cha- HA!) means discharging firearm.

- Kate hears whispers before getting taken by Sho 'nuff''s crew.. must mean some time travelers!

- Why does Kate NOT cut off Frogurt and take the cab.. She would have done that. She was meant to get in with Claire.

And BY THE WAY- interesting Flash Forward promo- Chaly narrating the promo AND a guy yelling this is our destiny. And people scoff at my ff/lost connections!

OK I'm sorry I'm so beat. I know a lot of this seems a lil crazy and I need to hone in on it but sleep is calling me. going to re-watch it this weekend & add more!
