As we were promised, we find out what happened to the crew out at sea in this episode. Not only that, but we see what Locke and Kate experienced down in the hatch before Jack decided to go "do something heroic," as Charlie put it. And as it so happens, it seems I was wrong to assume that the symbol on the cabinet of vials didn't mean a whole lot.
Yes, you did see the symbol on a shark. A shark!
What's next, fricken laserbeams on their heads? My brother in law had
to call me to rewind my Tivo to double-check what he thought he saw,
and there it was. Oh God, what a wrench this throws in Lost theorists', um, theories.We also get a tour of more of Desmond's lair. Kate finds out she was thrown into a pantry full of goodies, and yet again we see that symbol on just about everything in there. Someone must really want some good Feng Shui going on down there. We also get a look at another one of Desmond's works of art - a wall covered in chicken scratches. How long before someone out there freeze frames the episode and counts them all? Well, it looked like a lot more than 108 to me.
So,
anyone know the answer to Desmond's riddle? In case you missed it,
closed-captioning said, "What did the snowman say to the other
snowman?" Do you smell carrots? Obviously it's some prearranged code,
set up for him to identify this person he's waiting for. Is he waiting
for the now dead Ethan to be the one to come relieve him of his duties,
plugging in the now famous numbers into an old Apple ][ computer (with
5.25" floppy drive!)Now the raft crew is back on the island again, and "the others" are all over them. Maybe Walt did get away for Shannon to see him in the jungle? Actually, if they were showing things as they were happening at sea and on the island, synced up, Walt would've appeared almost right after he was abducted. Now that's odd.
Though it was a Michael-centered episode, really there wasn't a whole lot of revealing backstory. Maybe they're saving his best stuff for last. Oh boy, wait until Hurley finds out what's being typed on that keyboard!
