Jack’s mysterious neck cut, Claire’s ‘memory’ of Aaron – these things didn’t exist in the pre-island timeline, so where have they come from if not the ‘real’ timeline?
LOST SEASON 6 EPISODE 1 MEGAVIDEO SERIES
Indeed, it might be just like Lost for us to reach the end of the series and discover that all of the events of the ‘sideways’ timeline are actually the result of a cosmic reset that isn’t hit at the very end of this series. As it turns out, she would still have assumed a pretty major role in Aaron’s life, although, once again, Aaron’s unusually rapid naming suggests that the two timelines might not be as separate as they appear. Meanwhile, in the flash sideways (which, let’s not forget, aren’t exactly sideways, but also three years back) we get to see what Kate would’ve done, had she not been stranded. Maybe it wasn’t her crew that was sick after all, but her? Either way, it’s good to see one of the series’ most long-running mysteries finally get a bit of focus! Maybe that’s the point.Īt this point, it’s pretty clear that Dogen is referring to Rousseau’s ‘sickness’, especially after Claire turns up at the end, having taken Rousseau’s role as the island’s resident wild-woman. Is this part of a larger arc about what is happening to him? Or did the writers just overcompensate in trying to make Dogen seem like a badass? There’s a certain bleak irony to watching Sayid begging not to be tortured, but the reactions don’t really feel like ‘our’ Sayid. All those years spent dealing with the Others have, apparently, paid off.Īs for Sayid, I can’t be the only one who seems to be concerned that his iron will doesn’t seem to have been resurrected along with the rest of him. Elsewhere, Jack spends the episode trying to get answers about what Sayid’s recent dunk in the Lazarus Pit might have done to him – and in an unusual development, he actually succeeds to some degree. And the facilitator of Jin’s chance to be separated from the others and shoved into a situation with a mad person, again. The facilitator of Sawyer’s chance to grieve. The facilitator of Claire’s journey to hospital. That said, Kate’s role in the episode is mainly a facilitator. The major questions about Kate’s part were never that interesting, and worst of all, it usually meant an opportunity to deal with her on-again-off-again-tedious-again “relationship” with Jack – so it’s a welcome change to find a Kate episode that doesn’t spend too much time on these elements, and instead focuses on her. Time was that a Kate-centric episode of Lost meant a chance to sit back and have a nice snooze for at least 50% of the episode.
