I can’t believe we’re getting so close to the end!
Jack talking to Flocke, in 6x13 The Last Recruit
Episode 6×13 The Last Recruit will air in the U.S. on April 20. After that, there will only be three more episodes, a recap/clip show, and then the two-hour finale.
There will be no rerun this week, so if you want to see Everybody Loves Hugo again, you’ll need to watch it on Hulu or on the ABC site.

9:00 – 10:02 (hour earlier Central Time) 6×13 The Last Recruit.
Official description: “Alliances are forged and broken as Locke and Jack merge their camps.”
Again this week, there are some surprises (potential spoilers) in the press release’s list of cast and guest stars: Press release for The Last Recruit
You know the show must be getting very close to the end when we start getting some answers!
Of course, Flocke might be lying, in which case his answers wouldn’t really be answers.
We’ll find out soon enough.
There’s something in this clip I found especially interesting because it relates directly to the central question of this blog (why John Locke believed the LOSTies were brought to the Island for a reason), and turns it on its head:
Jack: Why John Locke?
Flocke: Because he was stupid enough to believe that he’d been brought here for a reason …
I’ve been catching up on some of the official podcasts —
March 25 audio podcast
Darlton, punchy after having just finished writing a draft of the finale, rehashed Ab Aeterno, prehashed The Package, considered the possibility that Flocke was not evil — and revealed the title of the finale — on the March 25, 2010 audio podcast.
March 30 video podcast
In this short video podcast, Darlton answered a fan question about whether the fish that Jacob was cooking in the Season 5 finale, The Incident, was, ahem, a red herring.
I love the idea that it was a kind of visual pun, and in fact, someone left a comment on this blog back in September putting forth the “red herring” idea — an idea I found really funny at the time and still do. Alas, in this podcast, Darlton deny that was their intent. But the whole podcast is so jokey, I don’t know if they can really be believed:
April 1 audio podcast
Darlton briefly rehashed The Package, talked about who might win in a Flocke-Widmore showdown, prehashed Happily After Ever, and answered questions about Richard Alpert’s hair, the squirrel baby, and, of all things, grammar. April 1, 2010 audio podcast
April 8 video podcast
In this video podcast, Nestor Carbonell gave a tour of the set of the Black Rock. He talked about how they filmed the scenes there in Ab Aeterno — how they created the illusion of the smoke monster, and how they got the boar, who wasn’t hungry, to gnaw on a body (don’t worry, it was just a dummy). Very interesting!
Puppet Dr. Chang is joined by the real Dr. Chang for the untangling of Everybody Loves Hugo:
Also, here is last week’s untangled (for 6×11 Happily Ever After). I didn’t get a chance to post this last week, so I’m putting it up now so that there will be a complete set:
