Tonight’s LOST Recap – The Package

If you are not caught up on Lost, cease and desist from reading this post or you will be spoiled!

This episode wasn’t the best (Like Sayid, I think Sun & Jin make for boring back stories) but it was a good plot pusher & had some great quotes (including one big one I mention at the end of this post).

So the episode starts off with ATL Sun & Jin and they aren’t married.  That was a pretty cool twist, it looked like we just had the “old Jin” on the plane (with his “button your shirt” domineering ways), but it turns out he is just trying to keep his romance with Sun on the DL.

Back on the island, we have a good ol’ Frank one liner “Hey…don’t talk about bacon.”  It was fun to see Sun in her old garden, and also good to see her temper flare up in frustration.  Wasn’t the scene where she wigs on Alpert in Korean the best?

Oh in the garden, Smocke tells Sun “I’d never make you do anything against your will” and yet he’s reaching out his hand to her.  Jacob supposedly doesn’t make people do anything against their will either, but his touch does seem to mark the candidates.  Not sure what this means, but just pondering that whole free will theme.

How great was it to see Keamy again?  I’ve mentioned before how much I love him so it was exciting to see him, the freighter crew and Mikhail(!) again.  For those of you who might not remember Mikhail, he was the eye-patch Dharma guy who seemed to have a million lives (until he finally died along with Charlie in the Looking Glass).

Why did Zoe seem to care about the “pockets of electromagnetism” on the island?  I know that Widmore needs Jin because he’s a candidate (and also because he holds the sway over Sun), but do they really need to know the electromagnetism info?  Maybe that will play in the ultimate demise of the island (leading to it being underwater)…or maybe that was totally obvious

My previous theory that Widmore is actually on team Smocke was wrong, clearly Widmore is on Jacob’s team, which is a relief.  It was heart breaking watching Jin flip through the pictures of Ji Yeon.  It was when Widmore mentioned his daughter that I suddenly realized that “the package” was probably Desmond.  Squee!!  I’ve been extremely impatient waiting for him to return, so I can’t wait to see him interact with Widmore, fulfill whatever his “destiny” is on the island, and hopefully get a Desmond in the ATL episode.

I realized in a prior recap I made a mistake and said that Sayid killed Keamy just as he did on the island.  Duh, he didn’t kill Keamy on the island, Ben did back in the Orchid Station.  Just a little disclaimer

How cute is Jack now that he doesn’t have his Savior complex?  It was nice to see that his faith has returned.

There were a bunch of great quotes in tonight’s episode (including a really huge one):

“Why won’t you believe me?” -Ben  “Because you’re speaking.” -Ilana

After Sawyer asks Smocke why he needs to canoe to the other island and Smocke says that he can’t just fly over the ocean, Sawyer replies “No, cause that’d be ridiculous!”

After Sun flips on Richard in Korean,  Hurley: “I don’t think she wants to come.”

Biggest quote ever & you may have missed it…I had to rewind maybe four times.  In the walk-in fridge Keamy is taping Jin up in the chair and he says so fast “I can’t have you hear what’s about to happen to your island.”  What?!  In the ATL the island is under water and everyone is going on as if it never existed, so to hear someone mention it is *huge*.  And “YOUR island”???

Eek!  So what the heck does that mean?  Can’t wait until next week!  If you have any thoughts/comments/theories I’d love to hear them in the comments.  And if you’re blogging lost, please leave your link!
