FIRE BAAAAD! ETHAN WORRRRSE!

Bwah!!!

All I saw of Locke in Claire's dream was the black eye, so I assumed that both were black, and I yelled "Dark Willow!"

Did anyone else laugh at Snicker Bitch's delivery of "I'm not going to the rape caves!"? Because I laughed my ass off.

I have 2 theories on the psychic:

(1) He knew the plane would crash but that Claire would survive, which would mean she'd *have* to raise the baby.

(2) He knew the plane would crash, but didn't know that there would be survivors -- he's a psychic, but he's not Mentok (oooOOOooo!) -- and sent Claire on it in an effort to *kill* the baby.

Did Hurley (Hugo -- hee!) actually say who the passenger not on the manifest was? We're all assuming it's Ethan, and it very well may be, but did Hurley say it was Ethan?

In flashbacks that we've seen so far (i.e., not counting people like Boone and Snicker Bitch), we didn't see Claire on the plane, though I think it's a safe bet that she was, b/c of the whole psychic-told-her-to thing. And we also didn't see Locke on the plane. Yes, I know his wheelchair was amongst the wreckage, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he was on the plane. He could have already been there, maybe via boat or something. He may have forged ahead with his walkabout/survival plan despite the wheelchair.

Sure, Occam indicates that Ethan is the most likely candidate for OMGWTFNotOnPlane!, but we don't actually *know* that yet.

was CONVINCED that Lorne played a part in the Fred-ish badness of S5....until I was proved wrong (IOW, I have many crackheaded theories -- sign up for my mailing list and you can receive a new one via e-mail every day!)

Heh. From cleolinda's recap:

Babymama's like, "Nightmare?" And Jack's like, "Well, you dug your fingernails a quarter inch into your palms, and Charlie just barely stopped you from sleepwalking into the fire, and you woke up EVERYONE ON THE ISLAND, so YEAH, I think it was pretty bad." And somewhere, far over the mountain, a polar bear rolls over and grumbles itself back to sleep.

Meanwhile, the Old Navy commercials with the stupid faux-Christmas carols and their horrible cramped, rhythmless lyrics are driving me batshit. Crimes may possibly be committed because of these commercials.

No shit, man! Me, too!

"THERE CANNOT BE ANOTHER!" shouts the psychic, like, chill out, Highlander.

::snerkity snerk::

He is also rocking a pair of leopard-print sunglasses with orange lenses (thank God for the pimp smugglers).

Maybe next episode Sawyer will have a fedora with a biiiiiig curved feather.

Skipping some 300 posts to say, I know I can't have been the only one to go to a W&H place when CreepyPsychic started going on about this perfect couple in L.A. who would just take such good care of the baby.

Back to catch up now.

Did Hurley (Hugo -- hee!) actually say who the passenger not on the manifest was?

Definitely not. Because I was paying attention for it, and he didn't - they cut back to Claire and Charlie before he said who it was.

I have 2 theories on the psychic:

Or, option #3. He knew the plane would crash and Claire would survive AND be kidnapped by the Creepy!Ethan and his brood of wrong-haired polar-bear insurrectionists or something, and made sure he delivered Claire to their hands. It all depends on 1) just how friggin' good a psychic was he? and 2) which side is the dude on, fer crying out loud? And I suspect we won't get an answer to either questions soon, if ever.

Man, I don't think I can wait a whole another week to see how this goes down.

And we also didn't see Locke on the plane.

Yes, we did. He was sitting right behind Rose(?), the woman who was sitting opposite Jack in the very first episode.

Damn, baby! Good eye! Or good memory! Or both!

t crosses one more entry off the "Crackheaded Theories" list....

The internets swoon. Claire does not. Feh.

Heh.

Also, I have to rewatch. I must've been multi-tasking or something, because I missed Sawyer's sunglasses.

So the psychic was saying the flight number and not the time when he was repeating eight fifteen? That makes more sense than what I was thinking. It reminded me so strongly of Sun being told when the car would pick her up that I got confused.
