Episode Recap … 5/3/2006
Wow - that’s all I have to say. What a great episode. I thought the beginning was great but it was nothing compared to the ending. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE EPISODE YET! Here are my notes:
1. One of the big questions was how did Michael end up stumbling into Jack and Kate? Was he “dumped” there by the Others, did he truly just bump into Jack and Kate?
2. The cop cars in Ana Lucia’s flashback were numbered on the roofs 15, 16, 23 … sound familiar … our famous numbers.
3. The guy Ana killed was named Jason Aldery - or something close to that. Ana shot him around 3 in the morning.
4. Her mom, the police chief, knows Ana’s involvement in the murder. Did she turn her daughter in? Did she turn a blind eye to the crime because it is her daughter?
5. Look - I am not an advocate for violence of any kind, especially against women, but I couldn’t have been happier that Henry went after Ana Lucia. Ana ranks right up there with Shannon as the most annoying women I have ever seen.
6. When Henry is strangling Ana he mentions a few interesting things. Click HERE to read about the conversation.
7. Is it me or did Ana act the part of a TSA official perfectly? Those are some miserable people.
8. The bartender who serves Ana and Christian is Mike.
9. Too bad Christian is dead (or at least we think he’s dead) - Christian and Locke could spend hours talking about fate.
10. The fake names used by Christian and Ana Lucia are Tom and Sara.
11. Henry has another great conversation - this time with Locke. Click HERE to read about it.
12. Ana and Sawyer are a perfect match. Glad they could help each other out. On a side note - how did Sawyer not notice that Ana pinched his gun after taking a roll in the hay? Sawyer is very aware of his gun at all times.
13. So Jack has a half-sister it looks like. Christian tried to speak with her but didn’t get to far. HERE is a crazy idea on who Christian’s daughter might be.
14. Christian opens the door to get out of the car and hits Sawyer as he walks by.
15. Christian’s comment is very interesting. He tells Ana that “I can’t ever go back.” Is this just his pride speaking or is there something more to this?
16. Michael describes what he sees at the Others camp. Click HERE for quick run-down of his description.
17. Hurley’s comments about getting drunk so that he might remember where he knows Libby from is pretty funny. Of course Libby didn’t find it that funny.
18. Sawyer was reading the Bad Twin manuscript again.
19. Henry relays to Ana Lucia that Goodwin tried to protect her. He mentioned that Ana was “worthy” and that he “could change you”. Not sure what Goodwin was thinking at the time. Of course, Ana proceeded to jam a tree trunk through Goodwin a short time later. Guess Goodwin was wrong.
20. Ana says, “I couldn’t even kill him.” One would think that killing comes easy to Ana but for some reason it is now more difficult. Then she makes a comment that sounds like a plea for assisted suicide, “I can’t do this anymore.” The big question is what does she mean by “this”. “This” being your life, “this” being a tough person, “this” being … you get the picture.
21. The combination to the safe is 18R, 1L, 31R
22. Did Michael mean to shoot (and possibly kill) Libby? I don’t think so. He had a look of horror on his face. Libby appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That’s it for the summary. I’m going to be posting some additional thoughts later.
