I didn’t miss the conversation, I just needed more of it! On the research intern mailing list we figured out Chucky was Father Faraday awhile ago. Or at least presumed it, so confirmation wasn’t as exciting for me.

I like your timeline idea, I want that to be true, but I’m not entirely convinced. It makes more sense than “The Island heals people” but mysterious healing Island sounds way more likely on this show. (:

Destiny: Oh this show is up to it’s eyeballs in destiny! I’m totally with you there. Something I noticed was that it seemed like there was a split between those who were ok (or made peace) with their choices, and those who really weren’t. I’m still sad about Daniel’s destiny though.

I really want to know how we’re going to get Sun and Jin back together, and if Frank still has any part to play, and the bigger picture bits of how Benry and Chucky’s fight comes out and what on earth is so bloody important about this island that Charles has now basically sacrificed two of his children for it.

I hope Locke and Hurley go have an adventure, I hate when he’s sidelined. Next week should prove interesting though!

Granted, I had a three finger pour of scotch at my side — but I think you missed a key conversation between Ellie and Chucky outside the hospital. Those two had a case of jungle fever on the island. Let’s face it – YOUNG Ellie was hotter than biscuits.. Chucky apparently agreed – and played hide the palm tree!! Chucky is Dan’s DAD??!! Oh, SNAP!

Faraday to Jack: ‘When I met you, did I have a scar on my neck? No, because I hadn’t been shot yet.’ This goes to my theory all along, as you know. Locke can walk – because he hasn’t had the confrontation with his dad yet. Rose doesn’t have cancer – because she hasn’t been diagnosed yet. And the father of Sun’s baby is still unknown b/c of the time warp.

Faraday to Jack & Kate: ‘We can change our destiny.’ I contend this is a MAIN theme of this show. Given the chance to revisit our past – is there anything we would do differently to ‘change our destiny’ – especially if we literally had knowledge of how our original decisions impacted our lives?

Among the many things still unclear — why are some of the returning survivors in 1977, and others in 2007? Why is it – that Danny says ‘any one of us can die – at any time’ — yet the island ‘healed’ Locke after Benry shot him in the Dharma body pit.. And obviously brought him back from the DEAD when the second plane crashed? Why wouldn’t the island heal Danny, too? I’m not convinced he’s dead.

Next week, my main man Locke once again appears to support my theory that he WILL be the hero in all this.
