Second sneak peek for 6×04 “The Substitute” Why are you on this Island?

Wow, this is a great clip. I think this scene may turn out to be one of the show’s all-time classics.

A bit of it was shown in an earlier promo, but there’s more here.

I think it’s safe to watch even if you are trying to be mostly spoiler-free — it’s more of a tease than a spoiler.

It’s got notLocke telling Sawyer he can answer the question of why he is on the Island — and promising that he can prove it.

This looks like it is going to be an amazing episode!

LOST Sneak Peek 6×04 “The Substitute” with Locke — spoiler

This is a short scene from the next episode, featuring Sideways Locke. It shows the Sideways version of something that happened in one of the most memorable LOST episodes ever. Very exciting!

It’s somewhat spoiler-ish, so don’t watch if you want to stay completely unspoiled. Otherwise, enjoy!

What does it mean to be “claimed”?

Jack: Why would you people want to kill Sayid?

Dogen: We believe he has been (says something in Japanese).

Lennon: Closest translation is “claimed.”

Jack: Claimed. By what?

Dogen: There’s a darkness growing in him. And once it reaches his heart, everything your friend once was will be gone.

Jack: How can you be sure?

Dogen: Because it happened to your sister

If Claire was claimed, and Sayid is in the process of being claimed, then how do we explain Locke and notLocke? Claire and Sayid appear to have one body each, but Locke/notLocke have two.

If, say, notLocke is the claimed version of Locke, then who or what was the body in the box in the Season 5 finale? Why does Locke get an extra body, when no one else does? Is it because Locke really is, as he had long hoped, special? Or is it that the transformation/doubling of Locke was something different from the transformation of Claire and (potentially) Sayid?

Oh, Sawyer

Sawyer remembering Juliet in 6x03 What Kate Does

Sawyer remembering Juliet

My favorite scene in “What Kate Does” was when Sawyer said it was his fault that Juliet died — “I made her stay on this Island because I didn’t want to be alone.”

Josh Holloway was completely convincing and very moving in this scene. It reminded me that it was his acting skill, in large part, that had made the Sawyer-Juliet love story the best love story of the show.

What did you think of 6×03 “What Kate Does”?

Sideways Kate

I’m back on the West Coast this week, so I will be watching it late.

Meanwhile, I leave you with a poll. As I remain unspoiled (except for the brief sneak peeks), I tried to pick general questions that will apply no matter what might happen in the episode — but if they show us that Sayid is really Frogurt, all bets are off.

Choose as many answers as apply:

Official video podcast: Good versus evil

In this video podcast, Damon, Carlton, Matthew Fox (Jack), Terry O’Quinn (Locke and notLocke), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), and Josh Holloway (Sawyer) talk about the sideways flashes and about some of the large questions of the season.

The most interesting things said on the video:

On the timelines

Carlton said the two timelines are related, and the way in which they are related is one of the big mysteries of this season.

On good versus evil

Damon said that it’s all about good versus evil, and we will have to decide if Jacob is the good guy and the Man in Black the bad guy, or if they have done a “switcheroo.” Both Jacob and the MiB are going to get a chance to make their case.

Carlton echoed that it comes down to good versus evil.

My theory had been that the show wasn’t going to draw clear lines between good characters and evil characters, but instead show something more ambiguous, with characters who were neither totally good nor totally bad, but instead a mixture of both. Going from what Darlton said here, it appears that may not be the case.

We shall see.
