The Glass Ballerina
Wow, awesome episode last night!
Here are key things for me:
• The Ferry landing. It's not just a boat dock, it's for a ferry. To and from where?
• Jae's the father of Sun's baby. Yes? No?
• Did Jae commit suicide or was he pushed?
• Did Sun really kill the Other girl on the boat? What's the retaliation for her doing that?
• What's with all the new characters?
• Why was Sawyer (James) so interested in the Other's father and daughter. Will he use that info to his advantage (you know he will).
• Ben has been on the island his whole life.
• Why are the Others using Kate and Sawyer to dig? It seems more than just rock busting. Is there something in the ground?
• Lies seemed to be the theme of this episode.
• Next week Hurley and Locke are back! Yea!
Doug addition: Chris cleared up my thoughts about "The Glass Ballerina."
I had forgotten about Danny (not Daddy) last year... good job Chris, I stand corrected!
Movable Type 4.1
hihi, new here, just a couple things...
1) we saw the "Pala Ferry" sign in S2 finale.
2) who knows :P
3) see #2
4) spoilerish (see the description for S3x04)
5) Colleen was the only new character introduced last night
6) Collen said "Danny", not daddy. We met Danny last year, he was urinating in the jungle when Michael came upon him.
7) A child of Dharma? Most of the Others we've seen are too young to have been part of the early 1980s scientists.
8) I believe they (the Others) are breaking down Sawyer and Kate mentally and physically, the manual labor accelerates that. They want to use one against the other, much like Sayid was planning to do if the ambush went as planned.
9) Agreed
10) see #9 :P
Ben Linus said something interesting last night..."I" will take you home.
I think the others are ready to leave and enter the world using Jack, Kate and Sawyer as entry points to the world to spread their version of a Utopian society...that means Jack (the Doctor), Kate (Kid of a Military Recruiter) and Sawyer (Contacts to the Criminal Underground) are chosen for a specific reason. They aren't interested in them for their gifts rather their background.
(BTW...LMFAO during the whole "Boston Redsox win the series bit)
for the ferry name - go look at the reference to it in the works of aldous huxley
Why Sawyer, Kate, and the good doctor? Remember in another episode where the others had some type of "bet" that they could reform Ana Lucia's character? I think that's why they picked those three. Kate & Sawyer are the only two of the losties who have killed yet haven't killed an other. Jack has all those same feelings of guilt and hate, especially when it comes to his father, but I don't think he's intentionally killed which may be why he isn't in a cage and isn't doing manual labor - more psychology and trust with him than a tearing down and trying to rebuild character like with Sawyer & Kate. Basic psychology states that the only way to change someone values and morals once they reach a certain age is through a traumatic event. How much more traumatic could the others make it than placing kate & sawyer in cages and forcing them to do hard labor. Plus it seems like the others are trying to nudge Kate & Sawyer together, make them bond which would also help in any quest they may have to "reform" them.
