\nBIG SPOILERS AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interesting episode! We finally see the appearance of “The Numbers”: 4 \u2013 Locke, 8 \u2013 Reyes, 15 \u2013 Ford, 16 \u2013 Jarrah, 23 \u2013 Shepard, 42 \u2013 Kwon. If those are the “candidates” for Jacob’s replacement, as of right now we can cross off 4 and 16, since Locke is dead, and by all appearances, Sayid probably isn’t far behind. That leaves 8, 23, and 42. And, while Un-Locke says that he’s not sure if “42” refers to Sun or Jin, I would guess it would be Jin, simply because all the rest of them are guys.<\/p>\n

A new mystery \u2013 That blonde kid that kept popping up, said something like “You know the rules, you can’t kill him.” Sure seems like he was talking about Sawyer, and if that’s true, I’d say we have our Jacob replacement, if it finally comes to that. Sawyer alluded to that last episode when he told Kate that he guessed that some people were just meant to be alone.<\/p>\n

So who was that kid? A mini Jacob? An older Aaron? No telling so far.<\/p>\n

More characters reappeared with Locke \u2013 Helen, Rose, Ben, Hurley. I thought it was pretty funny that Randy (Locke’s boss) was a jerk in both timelines.
\nBen, from the brief time we saw him, seemed pretty much the opposite of the way we’ve known him. This version of Ben seemed desperate to try and control things, but was frustrated that he couldn’t.<\/p>\n

The biggest question now is, how does Un-Locke expect to get off the island, even with Sawyer’s help?<\/p>\n

What did you think of the episode?<\/p>\n

Edit: Forgot the very first thing I was going to post: Did you notice how Helen said something to Locke about having his father come to the wedding? Sure surprised me to hear that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
