Holy #@^@&@*&!!!
So, we know that Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, and Aaron are all making it off the island in the next episode (at least that is what we have been told) but they are currently in 4 different locations!!!
- Jack is in the jungle heading toward the Orchid. Saywyer, who does not get off the island, is with him.
- Kate and Sayid are in the jungle captured by The Others. I have no idea where they are going-- to "the Temple" perhaps?
- Hurley is at the Orchid with Locke, who does not get off the island.
- Sun and Aaron are on the frieghter with several other characters, including Jin, who do not get off the island.
How on Earth are they going to get all the Oceanic 6 together in one place without so many of the other characters? It seems they will get off in a boat of some sort, but why would Jack take a boat off the island without so many other people. Why wouldn't Jin be on the boat before Jack? There are at least a dozen people who would leave before Jack and Sayid, the two heroes of the group, would depart.
Wow-- 2 hours left and I can't wait to see where they take us!
Other stuff--
Sun using her Oceanic settlement to buy a controlling interest in her father's company is idiotic. No way her settlement was big enough to do that. They should have had her comment that she also put the money her father had given her over the years to good use or maybe say, "I have a friend who won the lottery-- he didn't mind loaning me some money." The notion that the settlement she got from Oceanic was big enough to buy Paik Heavy Industry is absurd. Are we supposed to believe that Oceanic gave her a $100 million+ settlement? No way!
I was looking forward to seeing Ben kick some butt against Keamy's men. Bummer! I wanted Ben to say something to Locke like, "They need to take me alive, John. That gives me an advantage... because I want them all dead." That woulda been cool. He should have kept his telescoping baton too, and taken out some dudes with it. As Ben was walking off to get captured, my wife said, "he's the best character on this show." I agree.
The biggest thing I want to find out in the next episode is -- why are the Oceanic 6 lying? What are they covering up? To me, that is the key question that I think will get answered in the season finale... I hope.
I want to know what is going to happen to Daniel and Charlotte. Dan sure as heck wants to get off the island. He knows something bad is going to happen at the Orchid station. I think that moving the island is a really bad thing. I am betting there are a couple places on the island where you are safe if the island is moved and everyone else is in bad shape when it happens. Perhaps the island moved but the people on it do not... one minute you are on dry land and the next you are in the middle of the ocean. Hmmmm.
There is little question in my mind that the freighter is gonna blow. Sun and Aaron will get off. I am betting that Desmond makes it off too. Everyone else, including Michael probably, are going up in a biiig blast-- especially the "red shirts" (the other survivors who are now on the frieghter).
I love that Jack now knows that he is Aaron's uncle and that Claire is his sister. His recoil at that was great. Utterly speechless.
It was nice to get the numbers again-- even though it was sorta silly. you can see why Hurley is going crazy though.
