Carrie Bartkowiak v. 5.0

Warning!! Contains spoilers - don’t read if you tivo’d the show and haven’t watched it yet!

Okay then, let’s get started.

Naomi’s (the parachutist) big “reveal” at the end of the show, that flight 815 was found and there were no survivors - am I the only person who doesn’t think this is a big deal? Jacob and the Meridian Corp. could have easily put out a press release saying that *they* found the wreckage and there were no survivors once Ben updated them that the plane was actually on the island. No biggee. Can’t have search & rescue parties boating around in the island’s vicinity and accidentally find it - so say that you found it and everyone was dead. Problem solved.

Sun’s pregnancy is from Jin. Both good news, and bad news. Based on an interview I saw with the actress who plays Sun, I don’t think she’ll die. She’s just bought a house near the shooting location in Hawaii, and told the producers that if they killed her off, they would have to buy her house. One of them reassured her and agreed. So I think Juliet will come up with *something* by the time Sun hits the terminal mark.

The tidbit about what happens to men when they hit the island was… uhh… interesting. I’m not so sure it’s true, though. Could’ve just been a ploy by Juliet to tell Sun something strange enough to be believable but still island-like-weird, whereas the real reason is much more in-depth and would’ve scared the crap out of Sun.
You could tell that Juliet really *did* enjoy giving Sun “good news” - egads but this actress has some amazing facial expressions that perfectly communicate what’s going on in the character’s mind - and I loved the little addition she made to her tape recording to Ben. That speaks volumes.
My new guess is, she isn’t doing this voluntarily. Ben has threatened the life of her sister if she doesn’t comply.

I am happy to report that my theory on why Juliet had come back to the camp (to watch Kate and see if she was pregnant) was correct. Since she’s been with Sawyer twice now, and we know Sawyer can have kids (he already has one), it would take a miracle for Kate *not* to be pregnant.
Also, if she does turn up pregnant, it also sets the stage that Juliet will indeed find a “cure” for the pregnancy=death issue. They can’t kill off Kate, she’s a 1st-string character.

Patchy is still alive. Isn’t that interesting?
Seems that he had one of those remotely-trippable devices in him as well (like the one they implanted in Claire), and it also had some of that special paralyzing spider poison in it to make him appear dead to all physical examinations. I guess there was a reason for that stupid episode with Nicki and Paolo after all… to teach us about the spider poison.
I had my eyebrow cocked when Naomi muttered that long string of words and Patchy claimed she was just saying “thank you”. Um, no. It would’ve been much shorter.
Update: Lostpedia thinks she was saying “I am not alone”. That makes more sense. But then, where are her companions? Methink Patchy’s already found them, which is why he came running so fast when Hurley shot off the flare.

Next week we get Locke back, and get to see Sawyer come face to face with who *I* believe is the real Sawyer. From the previews though, it doesn’t seem that anyone lets Sawyer in on this little tidbit; otherwise he wouldn’t have been asking Locke why he should be the one who has to kill Dad. He would’ve clawed the man’s throat out before Locke even had the chance to hand him the gun. Either way, it’s gonna be a good show.

Only a few more episodes left until the season finale. I can’t stand the thought of it.

And someone tell me who Jin’s mother was! Not the actress, the character! We’ve seen her somewhere before in the series (and she was just as nasty then), but I can’t remember when. Argh!

What do you think? I wanna know! Please leave a comment :)
