Goodbye Charlotte, Goodbye Charlotte- It's time to say goodnight..

Charlotte is out (or is she...) I will admit that it's hard to believe that people are ever really dead on this island, but she looked pretty dead. I knew that Charlotte Staples Lewis would be leaving us soon (and the good rumor on the street is that she has been filming a movie with George Clooney- so we should be happy for her) Like so many others, I feel like there's a lot more of a story to be told here. I must have faith in "Darlton" (how Lost producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are known to their many followers) They are starting to give us some really good information about Rousseau, which I thought all hope was gone for with her death last year.

Speaking of Rousseua, having Jin meet Danielle and posse in the past was really interesting. The big question from many people out there was did we miss some acknowldgement from Danielle towards Jin way back in Season 1? It seems that consensus out there is "no" and that she wouldn't. (Think of how Daniel Farraday was able to go knock on the door of the hatch and tell Des to make sure he sought out Daniel's mother at Oxford.)


When Jin met the French, did his English seem especially good all of a sudden to anybody else?

Did you love the reaction of Jin and Sawyer when they saw each other?:) There was definitely giggling!


What's up with the smoke monster- which Robert clearly "knew" was the security system of the island? Yuck when he ripped off that hot angry French guy's arm! Thanks to JoEllen, who heard Rousseau refer to a member of her group losing his arm in the repeat from Season 1, "Born to Run" that was on tv Saturday. I love the continuity of the show!


Other big questions I'd like to hear thoughts about:


1. Jacob? Christian?- Who/what is Jacob? Can he take on different manifestations? Has he just assumed Christian's body after it ended up on the island, or did the island's magical powers do something to Christian's body?


Does Locke, who seems to know all, know that this is Jack's father? Christian said, "Say hi to my son for me"


Christian isn't happy that Locke let Ben do the donkey wheel turning at the end of last season.

Clearly, it was Locke's job/responisibility. Interestingly enough, Ben got hurt right before turning the wheel and so did Locke. Does the wheel reuqire a blood sacrifice?



2. Will Sun really leave Ji Yeon with her mother and come back to the island? ( do we love that Ben manipulated her with Jin's wedding ring which was supposed to be the very thing that would keep her from returning!)


3. Big debate on EW.com- Is Ben good? Is Ben bad? Is he a little of both?

4. Will the flashing end, and they will be stuck somewhere in time? This is my prediction-

Charlotte said, "This place is death" and tells us that she grew up here (Dharma) and has been working her whole life to get back. In fact, Daniel Farraday appeared to her as a child and told her not to come back (I'm guessing wel'l be seeing this soon.)


I think we're going to get stuck in the 70s or 80s and see the Dharma intiative, and an actress that many are familiar with - Reiko Ayelsworth.




You might know her from "24", I of course remember her from "One Life to Live", when she loved Todd Manning, the rapist. She'll be playing Amy, and their might be something brewing between her Sawyer.....

I don't think that Locke knows Christian is Jack's father. The flash happened right after he asked who his son was. Interesting theory about blood sacrifice. Talk about a "yuck!" moment when I saw that leg bone! I totally thought it was a stick but then when he didn't just pull it out, I knew. I am trying to remember if Jin every interacted wtih Danielle at all before the time shifts started. Can someone comment on that? I don't have the patience to go back and re-read those recaps.

I am hearing that not everyone goes back to the island. Thanks Entertainment Weekly...but who wouldn't? Aaron? Jin's baby? Sayid?

It better be Dez who doesn't go back. I can't bear to see him sad again. Case closed Darlton!
Again, on the aforementioned "Born To Run" episode, the raft is getting launched and Rousseau is with Jack, Arzt, Locke & Hurley - as they leave the beach, Jin is reconciling with Sun. No recognition. I'm with Helen - this isn't your older sister's time travel (BTF 1-3 and even then, no one mentions the sailor from the tree named Calvin Klein to Marty either!)
What I would love to see is one of the time travelers running into someone from the flashes (for ex. Kate in the woods running into Sawyer and there being some sort of VJ-Day kiss!
