So this morning I wrote up a pretty long discussion of my thoughts from last nights episode...and with one errant keystroke erased the whole damn thing. I was ticked off all day and just know was able to sit back down and get back at it.
That being said...I'm just going to throw a few things out there as a lot has already been rehashed pretty well...
My impression was that Sayid did not kill Des. I believe this because when we see Sayid walking through the jungle just before he runs into Flocke, he's looking up into the trees. I think he was looking for a vine to pull Des out of the well and then Flocke caught up with him.
I don't think we have to worry about Jack being on Flockes team. I think Jack has attained a more cebral and higher level mental existence. I think he will do what he wants to do from this point on...I think him jumping off the boat was the turning point.
To tag on to the earlier discussed point of an upcoming sacrifice, we should remember that we were told before this season began that some of the main characters weren't going to make it. When Claire came out of the jungle at the boat, I was convinced that either she or Kate were going to die there. And even though it didn't happen, I have a very strong feeling that it's only a matter of time before someone big gets it...
Lastly...another great episode for Sawyer comments. Refering to Lapidas as "...that guy who looks like he's from the cast of a Burt Reynolds movie" and then later he calls him "Chestie." And him telling Hurley to shut the hell up about the Stars Wars references was classic. Good stuff.
That's it. Two long weeks to digest and speculate.
