Lost “This Place Is Death” Reactions

This was a pretty good episode. Unlike past seasons, I really doubt there will be “bad” episodes since time is running out and there is a lot to explain.

• It is pretty much confirmed that Elloise Hawkings is Farady’s mother.
• We figured out that Charlotte was on the island but we do not know who her mother is and what she did. Plus why she was told never to  come back by Faraday. My assumption is Faraday told Charlotte not to come back when he was time traveling but I guess he does not realize his own string analogy where no one can change the future, except for Desmond apparently.
• I assume we will see a Charlotte flashback through the eyes of Faraday. They just can’t kill off her character like that but she did reveal alot of info so maybe not.
• I also think that Faraday and Charlotte are siblings. The pieces fit. Faraday said he loved her but really never made a move. That is because it was love for a sister.
• The people still on the island seem to be suffering when the time shifts. They kept grabbing their heads. I don’t remember seeing this in the past episodes.
• The reason for the shifts was that the FDW was “off its axis”
• Locke was supposed to  move the island; not Ben. So basically it is Locke’s fault that everything is going to hell.
• Is Locke going to be dead the rest of the show? I am starting to think so. Like I read in another blog, I think it is going to turn out that Locke is Jacob. I don’t think Jack’s dad is Jacob even though Locke called for Jacob and Christian appeared.
• Is CFL crazy because of skipping Jin? I at first thought that maybe CFL was the crazy one while her crew just knew the truth so she killed them; which still might be the truth. I
• Not sure what that hole is where the smoke monster went into. Obviously CFL’s crew made it out alive from there but not sure how. Is this the Temple? If so, this is where Ben told the Other’s to go because it was safe. I guess it is if there is monster out there to get them. That version of the smoke monster seemed to be more machinery like.
• I saw the name of next weeks episode and it was a 3 digit number which makes me think it is the flight number of the Ajira airline flight that is going to take the group back to the island.
• Did anyone think that Sun was going to steal Aaron when she make that creepy remark to her kid that she found a new friend for her?
• What did Charlotte say right before she died?
• Why did she speak Korean? Is her father Dr Chang?
• Of the skipping stops, doesn’t that leave the survivors back in time or are they in present time now. We really don’t know but the well did disappear. For all we know, they are back in the present and everything is okay. Maybe Locke and Ben are wrong and the Survivors don’t need to go back. Maybe all that needed to be done was for Locke to be the leader (make the sacrifice) and turn the FDW to restore order.
