Ha-Ha. Yeah we know lady, like who are you. Here are some questions that did get answered In the Lost episode “Across the Sea” we are introduced to Jacob’s mother, and we find out Jacob and the man in black (who apparently was never given a name) are twin brothers. The lady & the man in black also turn out to be Adam & Eve skeletons from way back in season 1. “The Others” are on the island from real early on, and the Man in black lives with them for 30 years.

More questions for you JJ, Damon, et al.?

Does the man in black have no actual body now?
Is the lady who delivers the babies the first person on the island?
How do I play the man in black’s game?
Is the light now extinguished?

Only 3 more episodes of Lost to go.

Because the Man in Black will push you into a well if you aren’t. That was just great, a really awesome moment.

Warning Spoilers ahead for the Lost episode “Happily Ever After”.

So it seems as though Sideways World is slowly breaking down. I guess that means we won’t get to choose our ending. Which is good, I don’t want a choice, I just want a darn good ending to the series.

Eloise & Desmond’s talk reminded me of The Matrix, where Mr. Smith is talking to Neo and says “Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program.” Even with Desmond getting what he wants, according to Eloise which was Charles Whitmore’s approval, he still was looking for more. I don’t totally agree here with Eliose. I think more than anything Desmond wants to be with Penny, yes he does want Charles Whitmore’s approval, but I believe that is secondary to Desmond being with Penny.

So this whole episode does beg the question, is Charlie the first to find out, they are in the Matrix, or did Daniel figure it our first? Seems like they met before, so maybe Daniel “wanted to show something” to Charlie, who in turn passed it onto Desmond, who in turn is about to pass it onto George.

And one more thing, I remember reading sites when it was first announced that Charlie would return, and they were like how could they do that, he’s dead. Wake Up people this is Sci-Fi. No ones dead unless you see the body, and then their not necessarily dead. Plus once you throw in Time Travel & Alternate Worlds, a cast member can always come back. Which of course leads to the question, who is the best surprise comeback ever? My answer would be George Clooney’s Dr. Ross, reuniting with Julianna Margulies’s Carol on ER at the end of season 6, in the episode “Such Sweet Sorrow”.

In the Lost episode “The Substitute” the reason behind the numbers has been revealed, well mostly at least. The Man in Black said “Jacob had a thing for numbers” so maybe there is more to come. In a previous post we had talked about Jacob being in the lives of those on Oceanic Flight 815, before they made it to the island. Looks like he has been in the lives of many others as well.

The Man in Black, aka fake Locke, took Sawyer (a treacherous climb to be sure) to a cave and revealed “That’s why you’re here. That James is why you’re all here” There were a ton of names (looks like at least 416) on the walls, most of which were crossed out, but “Not all of them”.

These are all that was left.

#4 – Locke
#8 – Reyes
#15 – Ford
#16 – Jarrah
#23 – Shepard
#42 – Kwon – “I don’t know if it’s Sun or Jin” says the Man in Black

Everyone except Locke on this list was still alive when the numbers were revealed. So 3 ideas for Locke still being on the list.
1 – Jacob didn’t back to the cave yet to mark him off.
2 – Jacob didn’t know he was dead.
3 – Locke is still alive.

There are lots of people still alive that were not on this list (Desmond, Claire, Kate). So why are only some still left not crossed out? Will that be revealed?

With Lost having a split reality now, will it end that way? Do we get to choose if we believe they end up on the island or if the island is under water?
