Episode 615 - Across the Sea

- Who is this Lady? She's pregnant w/ someone we probably know...there must be

- The one lady is speaking spanish it seems, but the lady from the island seems to be speaking something more like latin?  Maybe I'm crazy...

- Is this lady who's on the island the anti-Jacob?  And maybe the spanish lady is giving birth to Jacob?

- Ummm, maybe this is nit-picking, but if she's already given birth, why is she still bulging...oh, it's twins!!  The anti-Jacob!

- Ha, it's light at dark, black and white from the beginning!

- She only picked one name, so maybe the anti-Jacob doesn't have a name at all.

- Umm, latin lady is uber cruel!

----Break #1

- Maybe this whole episode is going to be about Jacob and anti-Jacob!  That would be awesome!

- What do you bet this is the "inside joke" with the balance that anti-Jacob threw away in that cave w/ Sawyer earlier

- Jacob's "mom" is weaving just like Jacob does when we first met him!

- How long ago is this?!

- Who is this lady? --- WOAH!  What's that golden water thing?!

- So this is "the point" of the island?  This "light"?  And anti-Jacob is going to want to put out the light?

- Ok, so here's my current hypothesis: Jacob isn't going to want to be the one to protect the light, but the anti-Jacob is, but for some reason he won't be able to, which will be the crux of the conflict and why anti-Jacob hates Jacob so much, and probably why he's going to want to do the opposite of what Jacob has to do: protect the light

----- Break #2

- But anti-Jacob doesn't know what "dead" means, so the statement "Because I'm dead" doesn't mean anything to him

- Interesting twist, anti-Jacob is right!  He actually knows the truth and Jacob doesn't (at least  not yet)

- Ha, way to call "mom" on having a favorite Jacob!

----- Break #3

- So did the find the wheel below the ground w/ that well?  Or was the wheel built? (the wheel that Ben used to move the island & leave it)

- Yup, the wheel's leaning up on the wall behind him!

- So the light is the source of the electromagnatism?

- Is she going to try to kill him?  Yup.  Called it.

----- Break #4

- She's a manipulative liar!  She's evil (even if she's doing it for 'good' reasons)

- Oh great, now I want to know why he can't go down there and what's worse than dying for them?

- This ritual that they are going thru to pass on the protection responsibility, it's going to have to happen to Jacob's replacement as well.  But how, since he's dead?  Maybe thru Hurley?

- What does that mean?  "You and I are the same"?

- Ok, so who did this?  Jacob?  The people themselves?  "mom"?

- Hey wait!  The line that "mom" said early on, something like 'it always ends the same' referring to the people with death and greed etc, that's the same line that ANTI-JACOB says to Jacob, but JACOB holds out that it's not over yet.  So in some way he's NOT fulfilling what "mom" thinks

-----Break #5

- Jacob CREATED the smoke monster. Wow, he's a pretty big screw up!  What did it do to the light, I wonder?

- Adam & Eve.  the original anti-Jacob and "mom"

- OH!  And what do you bet the Temple was built on top of that spring where the light came from?  And that's the source of the spring where they took Ben & Sayid.  And THAT'S why there's a "darkness" that consumes someone when they are in the water, and that's probably how it brings people back to life.  Something along those lines.

SUCH a good episode!  No, it doesn't answer all the questions, but it definitely gives a context to things and answers alot!

Favorite quippy moments:
When the birth mother and the other mother are talking and they suddenly start speaking English to each other I turned to Lisa and said, "What is this? A Disney movie."

When the twins were born Lisa commented that they looked like they were 3 weeks old. Then she said, "Maybe that's the secret that they were born 3 weeks old." I laughed and said, "Roll LOST logo with sound."

Also the boys, while Jacob looked a lot like Jacob both of them kind'a looked like Disney HS musical rejects. (We did joke about a Disney Musical version of LOST.)

As to the time period I would say that by the knife that "brother" had it was probably 17th, maybe 18th century.

I like the temple idea. I didn't think about that. I was thinking about the wheel. I wonder who digs it out and completes it. Is that a project the smoke monster works on in his free time?

So there are just 2 episodes left to answer ALL the questions.. I'm concerned. I really don't think they're going to end it very well. I hope I'm wrong.
I can definitely say I didn't like Jacob in this episode and I'm a little more on the anti-Jacob side.
