follow the leader

jack and kate are fighting over what is right and wrong about trying to change the future. kate ends up leaving the group and actually gets on the sub with sawyer and juliet. it is sad because sawyer and juliet talk about starting their new lives together and then kate gets on the sub and ruins it as usual. sawyer talks like he is going to try and get them to dock somewhere else other than the port they are supposed to go to so it will be interesting seeing what happens with that. also, jack mrs faraday, richard and now sayid all go to find the hydrogen bomb. i was so happy to see sayid show up because he disappeared for a couple of episodes. he thought that everything was fixed because he was under the impression that he had killed ben, but then kate told him that she brought him to the hostiles and saved him. once they go through the underground tunnels to the bomb, they get there and they dont even know what to do next.

in the future locke gets up and talks in front of all of "his people". he explains to them that he is going to see their leader jacob and wants them all to go with them. he tells sun that he is going to see him so that he can find out how to get back to their people in the past, but then he tells ben that the real reason is because he is actually going to kill jacob. what i dont understand is that i thought jacob was just a ghost that shows up at random times anyways and thats why you can neevr find his cabin, because it is always moving around and not in one place. i think that this is going to go terribly wrong and locke has become way too power hungry. he cannot get rid of their leader and i think that richard and ben will do everything in their power to stop this from happening.

locke in past and present?

this episode continually flips back from past to present but i thought that there was a definite distinction between to two. when locke takes ben and richard on the walk he ends up taking them to the plane that crashed on the island and was filled with heroine. he sounds like he is talking crazy when he tells richard that a man is about to come out of the forest and he will need to heal his gunshot wound and tell him that he needs to die in order to get everyone back on the island. halfway through his story i realize that locke is talking about himself. and just as i realize this locke (in the past..which is confusing) comes out of the jungle just like he predicted. what i dont understand is how he knew this would happen right then and how he went back in time.

in the past daniels mom is preparing to take jack and kate to the dharma initiative to deal with the bomb. hopefully by the time they get back to the camp everyone will have evacuated so they can take care of what they need to do. dr chang, miles dad, finally believes what faraday said to him about being from the future and everyone needing to get off the island. hopefully he will get everyone to evacuate and everything will work out as planned. it also makes me excited that dr chang knows miles is actually his son. im sure that they will have a hard time getting people to evacuate the island and an even harder time getting people to believe them.

h bomb

jack and kate get put in daniels moms tent and she starts questioning them. she explains that this same man, daniel, came to her when she was 17 and told her to bury the hydrogen bomb in the ground. until she says this jack and kate dont think she will believe anything they have to say to her but then they realize that she knows what s going on. danile said both times that he was from the future and this time he told her he was her son. she said that she will do whatever jack tells her needs to be done but people build a village over the bomb. that means that the dharma initiative is living directly on top of where they buried the bomb. im not sure what they are supposed to do because daniel said that they needed to detenate it, but wont that kill everyone? i guess thats why he need everyone to evacuate the island?

meanwhile in the future locke is about to go on a hike with richard and ben, im not sure exactly what the point of it is. all i know t=is that he is trying to get answers on how to go back in time and reach the others. i dont think locke believes richard they everyone is dead, and neither do i. i am curious to see what they do and where they are headed..

episode opener

so in the beginning of this episode it goes back to the dilemma at the campsite where daniel was shot. it shows jack and kate hiding in the bushes and talking when daniel gets shot. when they try to run away and get out of there they are caught by charles widmore. daniels mom realizes what is going on and that they are not with the dharma initiative after all. she finds daniels journal that has a note from her to him in it, and i think that is what convinced her that all this is real. she tells the others to bring jack and kate to her tent. they will be of valuable information to her. 

also they show locke showing up at richards camp, 30 years in the future. ben and sun are with him as well and locke says tat he needs to talk to richard and that he has a purpose now. when sun asks richard about her husband jin and everyone else form the plane that was on the island working with the dharma initiative he says that he watched them all die. personally i think that this is a lie to cover things up. its hard for me to believe that the show would take such a huge turn and kill off almost all of the characters..of course even if they did they wouldnt show us forever now that they have 2 time periods to show with thirty whole years of difference in between. what i dont understand is how they are supposed to deal with this time change and if they will ever be able to see each other with this time difference. the rest of this episode is going to give a lot of info and be very dramatic..i can already tell.

daniel is shot..dead or not?

WOOOOOOOOOW! thats all i have to say..i just found out that daniel faraday is charles widmores son..im in complete shock. although as surprised as i am i feel like that is something that i should have known all along. its one of those things that you feel should have been so obvious from the beginning and it makes perfect sense now why she was so weird when she found out that he was the one funding daniels research. 

daniel went into the hostiles area to find his mother and he found richard instead. while he was talking to him daniel gets shot from behind and we find out it was by his mother. she did not realize who he was and when he was laying on the ground he says that she sent him back to this island knowing all along that this was going to happen to him. he tells her that he is her son and she believes him and completely regrets shooting him. i am worried because right as the episode ends it looks like he dies. he cannot die because only he knows how to save the island. i am hoping that the island will cure him and maybe they will take him to the temple place to get better.

also i wonder, where is sayid? and where are ben, locke and sun? we havent seen them in many epsiodes now!

variables

jack kate and daniel faraday are all on their way to the hostiles and on the way he finally explains to them what is going on. he explains that the energy that needs to be contained in the swan hatch will be released if he doesnt do something about it, leading to desmond having to push a button every so often, then when desmond forgets the energy is released, which causes the plane to crash on the island, which causes the fraiter to come to the island with daniel on it. he wants to be able to stop this whole chain of events by making a hydrogen bomb. this reminds me of how there is a hydrogen bomb hanging at one place on the island in the future and makes me wonder if that is the same one that he makes now, which i am assuming it is because i doubt they would want to have more than one of those on the island. 

also the crazy dharma guys that fired shots at faraday earlier come to sawyers house to find him and tell him what happens and while they are there they find the man tied up in the closet. sawyer and juliet are now in trouble and they are holding them at gunpoint. in the mist of all this everyone else is freaking out and wondering why the alarm has been sounded. im curious to see what will happen next and how this episode will end..

gunfire

daniel apparently was in a depression for a while and was being taken care of by a lady. while he was there charles widmore paid him a visit. this relates back to what he tested on the girl, who i think might have been his ab assistant that he was in love with and dating. they showed this earlier in the season but have not touched on it since. all we know is that he test something on her that went terribly wrong and now she is like a vegetable. he was removed from oxford and now charles widmore wants him to go to the island and do work for him. i didnt understand why he was crying when he saw the oceanic flight in the ocean..it was weird but i guess technically it might be because he met them in his past? its all very confusing. 

back on the island everyone is still trying to figure out what to do and then finally they decide to go with daniel to find his mom and the other hostiles. when they are trying to leave they run into some of the dharma workers and they end up getting into a gun fight. faraday was shot in the neck and i am really worried that this will affect his being able to save the island. it made me really sad when he was crying and warned charolette to get off the island. im excited to see what happens once they sound the alarm and realize whats going on. i also wonder how sawyer and everyone else will make their escape..
