Interesting episode of LOST, eh? A few other questions answered and a few more created.

Locke is doing his best to protect the people and probably the Island in the process. So the cabin isn’t real? Or maybe it can only be found at night? Or maybe the Cabin shows up when Jacob is ready to talk. Like perhaps he was ready to talk to Hugo?

I’m getting Miles pegged more and more. I’m starting to profile him on my own, actually. He’s a bully. That’s why he’s loud and obnoxious. He has to yell and insult people in order for him to be “heard”. I have a feeling he’s not going to make it off the Island. Someone might just kill him.

Kate seems to have her own agenda. She wants off the Island badly. Truth be told, Sawyer had a point; there isn’t a real reason she wants off. Maybe it’s her personality. She’s the bird that needs to be free and the Island is a prison. It could be as simple as that. What sucks is that it’s clear that Jack loves her; it’s NOT so clear that she loves him. Maybe she does but she’s not easily admitting it. Maybe she’s afraid too.

The flash forward with Sayid was interesting. I felt sorry for him as well. He’s working for Ben to eliminate the Shadow Organization that wants the Island and its inhabitants. He’s doing it because he doesn’t want them to find the Island. You could see the sadness in his eyes. He’s working for Ben; as in, he’s working for the Devil. He’s sold his soul to protect his friends.

It was cool to get proof about the “unique” properties of the Island, thanks to Dan’s little experiment. The Island is surrounded by a bubble; a pocket of Time and probably Space too. It's known as the Casamir Effect . The theory that a bubble of electromagnetism can sustain an "artificial" wormhole and judging from what Dan was testing last night the pocket has a delay breech of 30 minutes. That's why Dan told Frank to fly on the precise heading they came in on that's why Micheal was told to follow the course of 325 for the boat ride out.

Odds are good Micheal and Walt are on that boat. I’ll be impressed if we see Sayid and Desmond land on the boat to show us who is on it and get some further clues. But somehow, I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.
