That was pretty much THE creepiest Lost episode since Season One. Dead people all over the place! I really enjoyed the glimpse that we got into Locke’s childhood, however–I got the feeling that he is ’special’ in much the same way that Walt is. All I know is that the ageless, mascara-wearing Richard Alpert (ok, maybe he just has long, dark lashes) is really starting to give me the heebie jeebies. Ditto Matthew Abbadon.

I think the two people that intrigued me the most this week were Emily–who is really Locke’s father? Jacob? also, why did she give him up?–and Claire. I really think she must have died when the freighter fighters blew up her cabin. I also loved every part of Ben’s dialogue. Bad guy or not, the guy is hilarious!

Whoa moments:
-Another episode beginning with a record playing–who is Emily so in love with (that is twice her age?)
-Emily hit by a car? Who is she? Pregnant?! How is the baby healthy at 6 months? HIS NAME IS JOHN
-John Locke is a love child.
-Helicopter returns…Sayid is short!
-Michael gets caught–and is actually quite brave about admitting to being Ben’s mole
-Locke meets a Dharma ghost-Horace-who KNOWS that he is dead
-Why doesn’t Emily want to hold her baby? What’s up with that?!
-RICHARD ALPERT visits Locke as an infant–and he hasn’t aged a moment since then
-Backgammon for John ever since he was a child–Richard AGAIN.
-Locke DREW THE SMOKE MONSTER as a child
-Is walk another ’special child’ like Walt?
-Why was his choice of the knife ‘wrong’? And so upsetting to Richard?
-Horace had the blueprints to the cabin in his shirt pocket
-How does Widmore have knowlege of ‘what Ben will do?’ Sounds like we’re touching on more time-travel stuff
-The freighter captain has become an unexpected ally
-Poor thing!! Locke got locked in a locker (I kill myself sometimes)
-Alpert tries to recruit Locke again when he’s in high school –what is so special about him?
-Ben doesn’t like being the chosen one?
-ABBADON helped John with his rehab?!! And ABBADON sent him on his walkabout?!
-Frank is defiant, and the doctor and freighter captain die. At least now we know how the doc ended up on the beach last week.
-NO NOT THE HELICOPTER!! RUUUUN EVERYONE!! Do NOT follow.
-Ben hands over the reins to Locke–why?
-Ok I am SO creeped out by the cabin right now–why is the lantern letting off NO light?
-CHRISTIAN again!!! How did HE become the new spokesperson for Jacob?
-CLAIRE!! AHHH! She looks…smug. She has to be dead-maybe she actually died when her house exploded. !!
-Weird look btwn Claire and Christian. What’s going on?
-Ben and Hurley bond over food. HAHA
-MOVE the island?!! I sure hope Ben knows how…

Quotables
Ben: “I used to have dreams”
Hurley, nodding at the Dharma grave: “What happened to them?” Locke, nodding at Ben: “He did”
Locke’s teacher: ‘You can’t be a superhero.”
Ben: “Destiny, John, is a fickle b!&#$”
Locke: “How do I save the island?”

Lost in Hawaii locations:
The usual–beach camp, jungle, etc.
What high school did Locke go to? Castle? (I only guess this because of the ‘Knights’ banner hanging behind his head, haha)
Anyone else recognize someplace?

Guess I’m going to have to sleep with the lights on tonight…
