Is Claire Dead? Or just really, really happy?
Some Clarity Or, Sometimes A Bracelet Is Just A Bracelet:~
Previously on LOST~ There's been buzz on Episode 10, "Something Nice Back Home" due to the timing of the baseball game, in particular. I know nothing about the timing of baseball games unless the Cubs are in the World Series so this is what is being said by others (not Others): Some are insisting it was the August, 2006 series but a screen cap shows that there’s a reference to that game as being a year earlier, so this would put the date of the baseball series at August, 2007. Which takes us back to the days in which the showrunners hadn't quite grasped the tenacity/insanity of (some) LOST viewers who meticulously take screen caps and work on them until they find something, dammit! So the date on the newspaper, April 5, 2007, in the episode, “Through the Looking Glass” was just a date used by the props people. <sad face>
LOST~ " Cabin Fever"

Meet John Locke's mom, "Emily" who is about to go our on a date with a "man twice her age."
Instead, she gets hit by a car and goes into premature labour:
Though she seems concerned about young John, later she wants nothing to do with him.
But someone does:
"Destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.” (Ben)
Richard! Alpert pays young John a visit in his foster home.


Screen caps of the items are shown below:
(cont after jump)
A John-as-a-teenager scene is shown in which he is given a Mittelos Bioscience pamphlet and urged to consider it's summer school program. Young John is headstrong even then and snaps at his teacher, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” (referencing the teacher's urging that John can't turn down this great opportunity).

Weird and creepy stuff:
-Claire and Christian just chillin' in Jacob's cabin.
Things that make you go "hmm"~
Yet another jammed gun that Michael was about to be offed with.
Too bad it doesn't stop pain as well as he's gotten a few really good beat downs, in this case by Keamy.
The "one eye-close-up" thing is done for me. The deeper meaning it held is LOST. Time to put it away for awhile, maybe save it for another season. I realize it keys something big is about to happen and this time it was Locke's convo with dead-for-12-years-Horace, builder of Jacob's cabin.
John wakes to the sound of trees being chopped down. He finds the guy above chopping. Guy with axe and bloody nose explains that he probably isn't making much sense as he's been dead for 12 years.
However, If John wants to find the cabin, he must first find 12-years-dead guy. John knows just where to look.
In Ben's mass gravesite! (I missed this one but alert fans of the show caught that as dead Horace Goodspeed finishes talking to Locke he bids him, “Godspeed.")
More talk of Destiny when Ben tells Locke, “You’ll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen” going on to say that losing Alex was his destiny.
It's kind of like Where's Waldo?--only with a bunch of corpses!
John finds the amazingly well-labeled map to Jacob's cabin!
When Abaddon puts Locke at the top of the stairs, it evokes we get a scene from the Season 3 Ep., “Further Instructions”--only flip-flopped. It's been suggested that the scene looked like not-our Jacob’s ladder with Locke lying at the bottom of a set of stairs. In this case, Locke is at the top of the stairs, not the bottom. If you put any stock in this idea, then John is in the "God" position in the wheelchair.
When Frank’s package dropped on the island, it crushed Claire’s tent with Aaron’s crib visible beside it. Is this further symbolic fuel for the "Claire-is-dead fire?
Does she look dead or stoned? I vote for the latter. So that's what goes on in Jacob's cabin!
Christian, in Jacob's cabin with Claire tells John that he (John) must "move the Island."
What is the Book of Laws? There was a Book of Laws in the Plymouth Colony in 1636. Was Richard Alpert was holding the actual Plymouth Colony book?
How is Abaddon connected to the Others? Despite the fact that they appear in the same episode I'm not convinced that the is actually working with Alpert.
The helicopter pilot, Frank Lapidis’s reason for dropping the package with the sat phone?
Lapidis seems convincingly like a "good guy."
Jack is usually wrong and I think he is here, too when he assumes that they just need to follow the signal. I was mouthing " Do not follow that signal, dumbass!" As usual, Jack did not listen (to me).
The Lost following on the Internet is abuzz with the possibility that Richard Alpert is actually Locke’s father. I dunno--there's absolutely no resemblance. All we know of John's father is that he is " twice as old" as his teenage mother.
There's also been speculation that this episode didn't involve a flashback but instead portrayed Richard slipping through time, altering the course of events.













































Ah, that's right. Shannon. She was cute. Thanks for the clarification.

Nope. They killed off the brother-sister duo of Shannon and Boone. They were related by marriage but not blood and had an affair prior to the plane crash which began before the series.
Claire was pregnant for the first couple seasons and she crushed on Charlie.
Claire had the baby and they later killed Charlie. Claire is now "missing," according to the showrunners.

Claire was hot. If my memory serves me well, wasn't she bopping her brother? I thought I remember the plot linke leading toward this.
