Lost! (Spoilers)

**Stinky!**

What an awesome episode! I think Terry O'Quinn needs a damn Emmy after this episode and last season's one where he was murdered. His episodes are always my favorite.

- So we know "why" they're on the island, but not really.

- I think that kid was Aaron. Did anyone else?

- Rose! I love Rose!

- A no-Kate episode is always a great episode.

- Lapidus' comment when they were burying Locke: "This is the weirdest funeral I've ever been to." Cracked me up.

- Anyone else catch that they were climbing Jacob's Ladder? Ooooooooooh.

All in all, a GREAT episode. Loved it.

I didn't share your love for the episode, but I also don't share your Locke love.

I did LOL (literally) at Lapidus' comment.

I wanted Kate and Jack to be there, and more Claire info. That's why the episode annoyed me also. I mean, does every single Locke episdoe have to focus on why he's an asswipe?

The numbers/names interested me, as did the candidate for protecting the island. It seems that Jacob always selected people with issues at home that they'd want to run away from. I wonder if that somehow meant they'd steadfastly hold onto the island as paradise or something.

h thought the kid was aaron, but i disagree.  aaron is accounted for in that timeline - he's with claire's mom.

 I recognized the numbers immediately, but it's still not clicking for me - the #s were engraved in the freaking swan station - what about the other candidates?

Anyone notice that kate wasn't on the ceiling of the cave?  So why does her name show up on the other lists?

I totally knew it would be rose as soon as the woman said "i'll go get her."  Sad she still has the terminal cancer in this timeline.

VERY curious about Ben as the teacher. ossum.

 I also lol @ :lapisus.  he's one of my fave characters.

I don't think it makes much sense that sawyer followed locke/mib. Seems like he would have been more likely to say "eff off" and keep drinking his dharma whiskey.  I mean, what's waiting for him off-island? nothing.  

I'm sure i have more.  loved richard this time, too.

Also, I noted that Locke's dad would be invited to his wedding.  So, in the alternate timeline, they are on good terms?  Or was he lying to Peggy Bundy about that? 

If they are on good terms, does that mean the dad didn't steal his kidney and push him out of the window?

And if he didn't push him out of the window, what caused locke's paralysis in this timeline?

Previously he wasn't on good terms with Peggy Bundy anymore either. But in alterna-world they're getting married, so he is likely still on good terms with his father. Good question about the wheelchair aspect though.
