S1E05-08 Notes

Well, I've watched all the episodes, but did not take good notes - so I'm just going to stress that I have absolutely no doubt that on-island John Locke is being seriously manipulated by.... well, by something or someone or other.

We know that, even before the 815 flight, Abedon put the 'Walkabout' idea in his head, and Jacob appears to have raised him from the dead - what else did that touch do?

He is totally fucking with Sayid's effort to establish radio communication - AND (I can never say this too often) he's lying about his encounter with Smokey (if it in fact was Smokey). He's totally manipulating Charlie - although during 'The Moth' he appears to be in character-building mode.

Can't wait to see how this shapes up during the rest of the season and into the ensuing seasons - quite the puzzle they've given us here.

Also - and I'm surprised I didn't hear anyone point this out yet - a point of symmetry between James 'Saywer' Ford and Ben Linus was in evidence at the end of 'Confidence Man' when James calls off the con when he see the little boy. Reminiscent of Ben's hesitation when attempting to assassinate Penny aboard Our Mutual Friend, as well as stealing Alex rather than killing her as Charles would have had him do.

Anyway, that's it on the notes - but I do have episode-specific Haikus.

S1E04 Walkabout Notes

== Totally Random/Amusing ==

Hurley: "Jethro here's been hoarding all the peanuts"
Who's nicknaming whom?

Locke the mighty hunter emerges...

"Colonel Locke"
Haw!

Randy really is a dick, ain't he?

Sun pretending she doesn't understand Michael.

Micheal using really, really bad gesturing to ask Sun to babysit.

Ethan is a log carrying guy!!!

Randy: "That's what you think you've got, old man? Destiny?"
What a total fucking dick. Need to send some flaming arrows his way, pronto.

== In Retrospect Possibly Significant ==

Sayid: "There must be a power source on the island, a significant one."

== In Retrospect Holy Shit ==

Debate on how to dispose of the bodies - Jack says whatever we bury won't stay buried long, gotta burn them..

Charlie: "Last I heard, we're positively made of time."

Locke encounters Smokey for the first time, then lies about it.

First Christian appearances!!!
'Good boy. Come on. Come here. I need you to go find my son... He has work to do. '

Burning the bodies...

S1E04 Walkabout Haiku

"I've been preparing
for this for years!" Yeah John, you
ain't the only one.

S1E02 Pilot Notes

== Totally Random/Amusing ==

"I'm a complex guy, sweetheart!"
(Hello, Heath)

First time we hear Giacchino's "trek" theme.

Charlie - "The rescue party. It has to be. It's French! The French are coming! I've never been so happy to hear the French! "
Obviously he hasn't been listening to Bill O'Reilly.

The polar bear!!!

Kate in a thong and brassiere for the first (and happily, not the last) time. Yowsuh!


== Amusing in Retrospect but Probably not Significant ==

Claire thinks the baby is a 'he'

Locke to Walt: "You're having a bad month."


== In Retrospect Possibly Significant ==

Claire hasn't felt the baby kick since the crash. After she accepts Jin's sushi offering, that little bastard starts kicking up a storm!

"Walt, do you want to know a secret?"

== In Retrospect Holy Shit ==

"Two players. Two sides. One is light … one is dark."
