"What Kate Does" could easily have been titled, "It's Always Sunny... On The Temple Side of The Island."
Hey! It's Mac! When we last saw Aldo, I had not yet seen "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," but it's now one of my favorite shows. I have to watch it on Hulu though because I lost FX when I downgraded Dish. Anyway, I'm way off track and I haven't even started yet. Where should I jump into this thing? Oh yeah...
Claire's back on the island!
Of course she probably never really left, only disappeared with Christian, who may or may not have been Jacob or Smokey manifesting themselves through Christians image - you never really know with this show.
Claire has certainly changed. I immediately thought of Danielle Rousseau when I saw her. And thanks to a subtle hint uttered in an exchange between Justin and Aldo about the trap in the jungle possibly belonging to Rousseau, I'm now sure that the trap belonged to Claire, who has taken Rousseau's place in this island game.
Danielle Rousseau was "brought" to the island just like everyone else and was obviously a player in whatever game is being waged between Jacob and "The Man In Black." She is killed by an outside team controlled by Charles Widmore, and because of this, does her part have to be replaced by another player?
Moving on to the "Flash Sideways" portion, as they are called on Lostpedia and on the enhanced episodes. As a matter of fact, if you were watching the enhanced ep last night (Feb 16) it said that what you were seeing is what would happen had Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed. I think that's hogwash. There's too many irregularities, some subtle, some major. I think they should say that the "Flash Sideways" is what would happen had the island never existed, or was destroyed sometime before Dharma. Here's why I think this:
Ethan Goodspeed is the doctor who is attending Claire. If the plane didn't crash on the island, but yet the island was there for everything else, then Ethan would still be on the island... or would he? He has been seen off the Island before in Miami when they recruited Juliette through Mittelos Bioscience (Mittelos being an anagram "LOST TIME"). It was a front company used to recruit people from the outside. Ethan was born on the island to Horace and Amy. When he joined The Others he changed his last name to ROM. Maybe I'm trying to dig too deep, but I'm thinking Ethan may be after Aaron. Thoughts? Unless of course the island never existed, then he wouldn't have been born there, and this would just be a coincidence, right?
Back on the island, Sawyer makes a break for the Dharma camp.
Kate catches him digging a shoebox out of the floor which had technically been buried for over 30 years and contained the ring he was going to give to Juliet when he asked her to marry him.
We now know the names a few new mysterious characters. This is Lennon:
Not too much is known about him except that he is Dogen's translator. And this would be Dogen:
Dogen is the Temple Master and according to Lostpedia.org, Dogen was the name of a prominent Japanese Buddhist philosopher, who founded the Sōtō Zen tradition. He was, for much of his life, the head of a monastery, Eihei-ji (which roughly translates to "the temple of eternal peace").
...peace my @$$. He tortured the $&@! out of Sayid.
(More to come. Gotta drive home).
