LOST Thoughts: Ab Aeterno
March 24, 2010
- We don’t know his politics, but I’m gonna take a wild guess that Richard Alpert’s probably an Obamacare guy.
- The doctor’s butler was great at fetching floor towels, but left a little to be desired in the “stopping boss killers” category.
- Couldn’t Jacob have arranged for Ilana to be admitted to the Russian equivalent of Cedars-Sinai, instead of what looked more like a dilapidated Siberian Care Now?
- What kind of priest rejects a confession? Oh, right..the kind who sells the confessor to a slave ship.
- Watching the smoke monster interact with chained-up Alpert, I noticed a couple of major flashes when it was right up in his face. Then, Isabella shows up a short while later. It seems pretty clear those flashes were capturing Alpert’s thoughts, so the smoke monster could replicate the visage of Isabella – just like it did with Eko’s brother.
- I’m no Physics major or anything, but how exactly does a huge ship go from hitting a giant beach statue to comfortably resting upright on the middle of an enormous island?
- Is it possible that Jacob’s analogy comparing the island to a cork that keeps the evil wine trapped in a protective bottle might be a clue to why the flash sideways island rests at the bottom of the ocean?
- There were a few moments during this episode where I thought maybe Jacob was the evil one. He was kind of a dick to Alpert at first.
- I found it very interesting that the Man in Black gave Alpert the exact same instructions for killing Jacob that Dogen gave Sayid for killing The Locke-ness Monster.
- If the whole chicken shack/temp agency mogul thing doesn’t end up working out, maybe Hurley can get a gig as a translator.

Nailing The Triple Lindy 
I’m thinking Nestor Carbonell just had the best acting performance we have seen on Lost in years. Very well played.
Agreed, Jomichael. Batmanuel was brilliant last night!
