LOST S06E05 E-mail Chain: Claire, You So Crazy

Well kiddies, Peter’s out of LOSTland this week, so I’m flying solo. I was just going to wax poetically about the metaphors of Jack smashing that mirror to bits, but without Peter’s faithful encouragement, it didn’t seem the same. Therefore, I decided to write him in.

So without further ado, here are my thoughts on last night’s episode and what Peter would have written back.

Allie “Wise One” Townsend: Oh boy did Claire go bat shit. She’s been living in the woods, killing people and looking for her baby. She’s going to kill whoever took him. I bet she’s totally a cannibal now.

Peter “Didn’t Watch LOST” Ha: That’s an excellent theory you have there, go on.

AT: Plot line on the island: Jack and Hurley are off to find the place the ghost of Jacob can only see, and Jin is hurt and with crazy Claire.

My questions: Why is Hurley the only one who can see Jacob? Why do we still not know what role the candidates are up for? I hope this show ends up being the biggest episode of Survivor in history.

LOSTies: “Why are we on this island?”

“In pursuit of reality television, kiddies. I’m your host, Smoke Monster.”

PH: You’re the funniest person, ever.

AT: Aw, thanks fictional Peter.

Anywho, Why does Jack have a 14-year-old son in No-Crashland? The differences between the two pre-crash universes are slowly revealing themselves, and still everyone seems connected. Also, why does everyone live in Los Angeles? I’m sorry, but if I had to find a group of people to save the world from a terrifying source of evil, I would not look in LA. I’d go find some ninjas, some Harvard scholars and an Eskimo or two. Not actors. Sheesh.

I’m sick of the confusion. Why are they on the island? Answer a question, LOST, any question.

PH: I’m so intrigued by your amazing analysis. What happens in the end?

AT: Glad you asked, fake Peter. My favorite LOST moment of the week occurred in the episode’s final seconds. I loved when dead Locke comes in and crazy Claire goes, “That’s not John. That’s my friend” with that I’m-gonna-eat-you look on her face. Cra-zy. Poor Jin. Good luck with that one when she figures out you’re lying to her about her baby being at the Temple. Yeesh.

Until next week!

There’s so much Lost content on the web, I appreciate that this column has a sense of humor!

Last night did answer a pretty big question… the numbers are apparently bearings. Whatever that means.

And the reason so many of them live in LA is because the Oceanic flight that crashed on the island was bound for LA.

Ok so after really thinking about this all day does it not make sense that Jack will be the new Jacob and Hurley will be the new richard?

Think about it. Richard was the only one who could see Jacob, now Hurley can see him. Ben was not able to see him but was the leader of the others Jack is the leader of the Oceanic 815 survivors but cannot see him, however, is deffinitely following what Jacob has to say. Furthermore Jacob wanted Jack to sit there and stare at the ocean and think. Jack is the nex person in line to take over.

@phillyguy – I think everyone feels it in their gut that it’s Jack. He’s been the “hero” all along. In the end, it’s got to be him. Right?

Hurley talks to dead people only he can see, which is why he thought he was crazy. Jacob is dead, so in theory there are only 2 people who can communicate with him.

I still think Claire is possessed by Roussau’s ghost and is being further played upon by The man in Black poseing as her father, then when he couldn’t shapeshift anymore as “her freind”

Siyad, I think has been possessed by Charlie and this will end in some sort of messed up spiritual double date (Sayid/Roussau, Claire/Charlie).

And the more I see the more I think they are on Turtle, the living island that is on the back of a giant turtle that is in many mythologies across the world. The submerged Island in the alternate timeline is Turle swimming or dead.
