LOST, Season 3 "D.O.C." [recap]


So, Jin is the father after all. That's good, that means their kid won't look like the bastard son of a Korean Powder. The flipside? Homegirl now has a death sentence... but the good news is, Jin's being on the island upped his sperm count by 5x! How ill is that?

The connections and situations in this show are so well written... we now know that Sun's the reason for Jin's bloody work for her father, so even while she is horrified at what he has to do for her father, she figures it's better to let him do that with dignity than be ridiculed for being the son of a prostitute and a fisherman.

I wish I could get a handle on the island, though; what could POSSIBLY be making the island a spot where you cannot get pregnant on, for you will die, but a puncture wound to the lung takes under two days to heal? Or a seemingly deadly soundwave shock to the head that makes you bleed from the ears - how does one magically recoup from that? And on the even odder flipside, how can the island thus make Ben someone who is succeptable to cancer, even if he lived on the island all his life? It's just too crazy to even try and get your head around...

Checking out LostPedia's rundown of this episode, I saw that they note that the convo in Korean that Sun walked in on referenced the Hanso Foundation... I wondered why they didn't put the subtitles on it! (They also said that Naomi's words, which Mikhail said meant "Thanks for helping me", really translated to "I am not alone"...)

I also wonder what Juliet's beef with Ben is, and why she feels a certain way - right up until he asks her to do something. Please let me know so I can stop wondering why she is dicking over people she really shouldn't... but who knows. This LOST shit is too deep for the kid.

Now, for all of you guys who are going to take Naomi's "there were no survivors of Flight 815" comment to mean that they are in purgatory (a tired, often used theory since season 1), I suggest you listen to the latest podcast. Damon & Carlton let it be known that she could either be a) lying, or b) confused, meaning that, let's just say, someone made it LOOK like Fligth 815 crashed and had no survivors - to make the outside world not worry or want to look for the people who are inhabiting an island that is experimenting on them and the damn laws of physics/nature/science/whatever else...

They also spoke on this week's episode, "The Brig", which finally brings us back to where John Locke has been with the Others. We are to find out the following things:
  • What John has been doing with the Others
  • Where the Others are going
  • How Locke's father got on the island
  • More about Naomi (the girl in the parachute) and her ordeal
  • Some other stuff I can't remember right now...
If you peep the trailer, Locke is bugging out - did he just go with the Others to try and set a trap, or does he have ulterior motives? Judging by what we know about Locke, it's more the latter than the former... who knows.

Do you guys have anything you think is going to happen before this season ends? I remember at the end of season 2, they said we were to learn more about the "4-toed statue", but we haven't gotten a peep about it since... I think we will learn more about that. Any thoughts? Leave a comment!
Until next time.. namaste!
