Lost In Transition

Cute headline. Proud of it.
Best line: "Jesus Christ is not a weapon"
I really only have two thoughts on 'Lost' from this week -- it was obviously a transition episode meant to get us ready for the two hour finale which we have to wait two weeks for unfortunately. But que sara, we waited 36 weeks for these 12 episodes, so what is two more? As a stand-alone episode it was all about the flash-forward this week and admittedly it was a little dusty in my living room if you catch my drift. Nice to see Sun's parents, and a nice little storyline there for Sun. Great to see Sayid and Nadia, especially when they showed up at Hurley's party.
Matthew Fox's non-verbal acting was fantastic when he found out about Claire. Wow, that was an awesome moment.
Cheech Marin's hair was also fantastic.
So in two weeks we find out what's going on in the Orchid, we find out about Richard and his Others, we find out the fate of the army dudes, we find out how the 6 were chosen and rescued, we find out about if the freighter blows, and I was told we would find out about WHO was in the casket at the end of last season. Good times.

I leave you with some interesting theories I found scattered on the net:
-When Locke moves the island, whoever is still on, is in theory, lost again. This theory would assume that the Oceanic 6 were already off, and most likely the freighter blew up, and now no one knows where the island is. Ben seems to get on and off at his leisure regardless. Richard too.
-Richard is the father of both Locke and Ben. For sure Locke.
-The 'Others', the original island inhabitants don't age, but unfortunately they cannot have children either. So they leave the island to do so -- seems like Richard might get around that way...
-Locke and John are brothers -- both born to an 'Emily'. Or....
-Locke and John were both born 3 months premature to an Emily, and Richard was sent to find the chosen child who was a preemie born to an Emily. He tested both Locke and Ben, chose Ben, and later has come to find that, in fact, Locke was the true chosen one all along. It explains why the island wanted Ben to get sick and John to get well.
-Locke choosing the knife is a foreshadow that even in the end, he will do things his way, and it may involve violence.
