thanks @batchoutlost for the capture and tweet-herding.# ydm.

I’m lazy. I suck. I know.

All credit goes to @batchoutlost for herding all the tweets.  If you MUST have the tweetcaps in a post, let me know and I’ll have my intern put it on my schedule.

If you haven’t come here from Jeff “Doc” Jensen’s column, then let me post a picture of what I woke up to this morning.

All’s forgiven Jeff, my name’s been misspelled all my life, my favorite is “Stlieve” Ell-Eye? Really?

Once when I was at Naval Postgraduate School, I won a prize and the navy wife pronounced it like the Swedish Chef was trying to say my name. So I’m used to it.

If you’re here for the first time, I run the twitter rewatch, titled Watch From the Beginning (#WFTB) using my special twitter account LOST_WFTB. We’re currently re-watching the beginning of Season 5, with the next twitter re-watch happening on We3dnesday for Season 5 Episode 5. Tune into Twitter and re-watch with us. (And urge Doc Jensen to show up for once… Just one night…)

Peace, out.

So it’s time again, to get to re-watching.  The Season 5 #LOST #WFTB Twitter re-watch party kicks off on December 14th at 9PM CST.  The rest of the schedule is here, so bookmark it.  (Or just ask me @LOST_WFTB on twitter)

What do you need to do to join in?  I made a handy list:

1. Follow me @LOST_WFTB for #WFTB news updates and reminders.
2. You might consider following my list of WFTB regulars, and if you aren’t on that list, give me a holla on twitter and I’ll add you.  The list feature of Twitter is also a great way to participate in the #WFTB Live tweets, if you don’t have TweetDeck (my favorite) or some other Twitter client.
3. Get your DVD (or stream, or whatever you use to watch episodes) ready with time to spare.  I try to be hitting up twitter with reminders at least 42 minutes in advance, but sometimes I’m late, keep an eye on the #LOST #WFTB hashtags.
4. Start on time (I usually tweet at “Press Play” tweet at the starting time.  I post times in my time zone, CST, so be prepared at your local time.
5. Start watching and tweeting your comments, all types of comments are allowed.  Snarky MST3K type, or obeservations, or OMGILTS.  Include the episode hashtag (usually #s5E1 or whatever episode we’re on, the finale will have a special hashtag.
6. Have fun! Everyone is a LOST fan, and all shippers are welcome.
7. Last and final one, is don’t be a jerk. (That is a general rule of the internet, IMO) We all love the show, and with that common thread, we should all be able to get along.

Namaste, and if you’ve read this far, congratulations.

If you are hard core invite a friend, like @CarltonCuse, @DamonLindelof or @EWDocJensen to join in on the re-watch.  How awesome would it be to have them join in… supremely awesome, beyond words.

See you Monday at 9PM CST.

That is what we’re both trying to do, and I’m going to continue to do my best to promote not only LOST (aka the greatest tv show evah!) and re-watching efforts.

We started early, admittedly off the cuff (read the first post of this series). We focused on a twitter based live tweeting experience and that has been our strongest point.

Lost Rewatch seems to be blog and message board based with some of the biggest and best LOST blogs/sites/wikis participating and promoting. Here’s a sample list from one of the participating sites: “A bunch of Lost bloggers, including Doc Artz and Friends, JOpinionated, Sledgeweb and the Lostpedia Blog”

I think it’s entirely possible to do both, if you have the time, and inclination.  Join us for a  LOST_WFTB Live TweetUp, and then you’ll be more than prepared when Lost Rewatch watches the same episode two weeks later. (For instance, this week their re-watching episodes 1-4, while we live tweeted episode 9-11.)

I don’t think its a competition.  I’m not treating it as a competition.  The point is to enjoy LOST.

So do. Enjoy. Lost.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB so do you know if UnLocke/Ben killed Jacob in current time or were they in 2004 ish, right after Alex was killed?

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB anyone who knows, can answer my last question by the way.

LOST_WFTB: RT @ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB so do you know when UnLocke/Ben killed Jacob ? -> They were with Ajiira so 2007 timeframe, not 2004 nor 1977

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB Just wondering why Eloise says 2 Ben”if they don’t get there…Godhelps us all” deal. Wondering what S5 finale has 2 do w that.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL well that’s a good question. and like Eloise and Charles relationship, it’s complicated. Depends on which side Ellie is on.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB Ok they left in 07, but did they arrive at the islnd in 07? anyevidence to that? Recall Charles/Locke chat abt time on/off islnd

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Does she know that she’s sent them back to the past in an attempt to save her son, or because she knows it’s fate that she kill him.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB cause if they get there in 04, then Jacob would have been killed BEFORE he meets some of the Losties right? Like Sayid/Hurley

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Her past comments to Desmond in FBYE place her more in the WHH camp, so then assume she knows she’s kills him and the events after.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB right, she didn’t seem sure of what would happen if ALL Losties didn’t return. Perhaps, she sort of entered 77 herself

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB humm still pondering…

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Hmmm. At the Lighthouse station in LA in 2007, Eloise had already met, Jack, Kate and Sayid in 1977.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Locke et al marching down the beach was in 2007, hooking back up with Richard’s followers.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL The Others (Richard groupies) had abandoned Dharmaville with Ben, and we’re back in the woods when Locke first time shifted.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL and it ended, all the LOSTies that were on 815 were on the Ajira flight. Except Aaron (who was in-utero).

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Sun didn’t flash with the other 815ers. Ben a stow-away. And Illana/Bram et al hitched a ride. Who’s team are they? Chuck? Ellie?

ccollinsmith: @LOST_WFTB Ilana and Bram could just be Team Jacob. I’d say they’re definitely not Team Widmore. #LOST

LOST_WFTB: Agreed. By their own words. RT @ccollinsmith: Ilana and Bram could just be Team Jacob. I’d say they’re definitely not Team Widmore. #LOST

ASHATL: @ccollinsmith @LOST_WFTB but Widmore was the one who helped UnLocke to get back in the island. UnLocke paid Losties a visit much like Jacob

LOST_WFTB: @ccollinsmith @ASHATL hm. Do we have any scenes where UnLocke was off-island? Or assuming Locke was always UnLocke? #LOST

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL @ccollinsmith it occurs to me that both Jacob and MiB would want the 815ers to return.

lostdogs10: @LOST_WFTB Yes they need their players on the game board

LOST_WFTB: Hmm.. also all the O6 that came back (with the exception of Sayid) made free choices to come back to the island. #LOST

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @ccollinsmith yes because there is going to be a war…

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB and which of the 2 represent free will? Esau or Jaco? Reminds me of Ben saying 2 Jack, you have 2 want 2 operate on me.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL @ccollinsmith MiB needed Locke to do his loophole, and Jacob needed his team to detonate the bomb. (BCE – bomb changes everything)

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL By his words (and hey.. its LOST he could be lying) Jacob was more for allowing free choice. MiB seemed all about coercion manip.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB: Jacob was for allowing free choice. MiB seemed abt coercion manip.//Maybe we should create a list HA! of black/white shirts 2 C

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Bl may have been playing for Jc’s team, while being manipulated by Bs,then sacrificed as pawn by Jc last outflank (they’re coming)

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB oh oh I see a need for Fla-o-Graphs!!!!

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL everything would be much clearer with flannel cutouts as visual aids. It’s an eternal truth.

ccollinsmith: @ASHATL I see you had a bunch of #LOST tweets for me. Have to respond later. But thanks!

Re-watching just shows how morally ambiguous they have portrayed Locke from the beginning.  The episode Walkabout is revealing.  Locke’s pre-island paralysis is hidden in plain site for all of the flashbacks, his ability to walk miraculous, his determination to become the hunter of the group fulfilling his preparation for a walkabout.  The lead up to the final memorial scene is interesting.  Just a few hours before, John Locke came face to face with the smoke monster.  Then Jack sees his father disappear into a clearing, and after chasing after the white rabbit, finds Locke emerge from the brush covered with blood, hauling a dead boar.

There are several theories on the role of Locke, who is influencing him? How early?  Is he dead from the beginning?  Was he scanned by Smokie but allowed to live?  Did he die from the first encounter and is possessed by Esau?

Here is a place to discuss and talk about the role/character of Locke. I think he is the key, not only in the struggle between Blackshirt(Esau) and Jacob. Let’s hear your theories.

The Twitter conversation that sparked this post is below the fold.

ZachsMind: @ASHATL My theory kinda breaks down with eps like LockDown, but I think Blackie inhabits Locke from the 7 story fall onward.

ASHATL: @ZachsMind IMO Locke = Black/Esau since S1E1. I also think there are two smokies and he meets both. Second meet gets him out of sync…

ASHATL: @ZachsMind…and makes Locke a wimp during S2. The first meeting btw Locke/Smokie was “beautiful” the second meeting scary. That’s my theory

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL I don’t think BS=Locke until after Locke dies and returns. I think Locke is influenced by dark and white forces which explains …

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL (cont) his double-mindedness. In the end Locke gets duped by Christian, whose side is still ambiguous. Locke is a pawn of both.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB good points, but how do you explain the smokie noise on s1e2 (Pilot part 2)? On Claire’s episode he also seems way too strange..

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB (cont) I am just waiting for Locke’s 2nd meet w Smokie 2C if my theory holds. IMO Locke & Jack in diff. sides & Locke no good

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Locke is more susceptible to manipulation, while Jack (until S5) isn’t. All the survivors can be influenced by white/dark.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL (cont) my opinion Jacob allows for more ‘free will’ in his manipulations, while BS is more upfront.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL for instance Locke to Charlie — allowing his choice (white). Locke to Sayid re: Sawyer torture — manipulative (black).

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB Let’s not forget that Locke is the loophole for Esau’s return and that ALL his “specialness” has to do w what HE says to Richard.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB Charlie got off drugs becase he was needed to swim down to TLG station. It is Locke’s manipulation alright, of others that is.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB (cont) just look at these few episodes. Locke is ALL over what happens. Placing peeps in the “right” path. Colonel Locke alright

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Part of the loophole required that BOTH DeadLocke and Ben are at the same time, DeadLocke needed for Esau to mimic. Ben to kill.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL So Both Ben AND Locke needed to jump off the island. As part of a long con, Jacob might allow or influence that move…

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL (cont) to also position his players to change the direction (i.e. They’re coming), and end up out-trumping the loophole.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL the Locke/Charlie dynamic is long running, especially after Claire kicks out Charlie, and Charlie goes to Eko for advice. (S2)

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB I just think that the manipulation started way back when Locke died the 1st time, not the 2nd. Locke=Esau HE is the 1 manuplating

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL When did Locke die the first time? You mean that Smokie got him in Ep4?

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL I see your point IF he died. But I don’t think he did. I think Locke (also touched by Jacob pre-crash) is just too easy a pawn.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL both sides play him like a fiddle, and white allows some moves to go, to provide an illusion. The Long Con ending with a bait/switch

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB If you think of Lost as an epic battle of G vs E, then U hav to look @ the whole story as part of this war. Peeps got ply’d &…

ASHATL: …peeps are being placed at the right position like a chess game. I don’t C Locke anymore, but Esau instead. that is how I C Locke #WFTB.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB if this was the case, Locke would be surprised w his *accomplishment* while dead. Guy has done more dead than alive LOL

scott_welch: RT @ASHATL @LOST_WFTB if this was the case, Locke would be surprised w his *accomplishment* while dead Guy has done more dead than alive LOL

LOST_WFTB: #LOST Jacob v. Esau? RT @scott_welch: studying Mark 5:14-20 contrasting Satan’s desire to deceive us and Jesus’ desire to rescue us.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB if it was bait/switch deal, why not use Charlie who would do anything 4 drugs or snatch Walt 4ever so Michael wld do the work 4U

ASHATL: @scott_welch don’t get that boy to wake up. He is doing so well…yeah, sarcams

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch now, that was clever right there.

scott_welch: @ASHATL I’m interested to see what happens if/when he does wake up! I can see it now, “I’m the real Locke”…”No, I am!” LOL

Model_Melissa: @ASHATL @LOST_WFTB I’m enjoying your conversation but feel like a stalker or something now

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL its a game of many moves, not a single one. I think they (principles) try to influence pretty much everyone at some point.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB this is not a single move though. Think about what it took to get Esau back and what an eye opener it is to watch S5 finale…

LOST_WFTB: LOL @ASHATL @Model_Melissa and @scott_welch I’m drafting a blog post to allow for more than 140. characters in this discussion.

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB Great!!!

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB but the big question: who is the deceiver and who is the rescuer? #lost

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB cont- many move of 1 story. Perhaps they were LOST bcs they R now being manipulated in a game. S5 fin told us this goes way back

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB or are you tapping on the floor saying uncle..uncle Oh noooo I didn’t go there :p

ASHATL: @Model_Melissa that’s was funny ;]

LOST_WFTB: Jacob’s allowance of choice seems brighter. BS view of chaos seems darker RT @scott_welch: who is the deceiver and who is the rescuer? #lost

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB perhaps I’m just trying hard 4 LOST 2B a show that at the end, we’ll look back & see all that happened in a whole diff perspect.

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL Bah! I’ll never admit defeat! The moves in the game started at Black Rock. Many pawns have been disposed between then and now.

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB and not to mention Richards latin answer to what lies under the shadow: the one who will save us

LOST_WFTB: Go at it… RT @jstueve: New blog post: John Locke black, white, or just an easy pawn http://bit.ly/vAzXq

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch yeah, I’m going down that road… hesitant only because Darlton are a couple of grifters.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB E & J were watching the Black Rock when we caught a glimpse of their already established conflict, my friend. :}

ASHATL: @scott_welch @LOST_WFTB OMG, now WHO lies under the shadow? is Locke’s dead body! Look back @ end S5,that’s where Alana & friends open crate

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL good point. Something to look at – Walt and Hurley’s on going game of backgammon. More than one game? or continuous single game?

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL *pppoossh* my mind just blew. Although I think that Richard was talking about Jacob, who lives there, that could be long con.

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch @ASHATL l’m glad we don’t serve a trickster god.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB exactly. Locke & Walt on S1E2: 2 sides, one game. Oldest game ever. Was Locke foretelling or forthtelling (what he already knew)

ASHATL: My brain is fried and I have LOST to thank…and @LOST_WFTB too

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB yeah, but *what* a coincidence wink wink

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB and may I add, Jacob lived IN the statue. Then the question should have been, who lives in the statue…right?

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL that’s not very poetic now is it. *nods sagely*

scott_welch: @ASHATL that’s right! Jacob is UNDER the statue itself…not in the shadow of it. Is Locke “the one who will save us?”

ASHATL: @scott_welch perhaps the reason why things are *supposed to happen* is bcs Jacob is trying to fix what Esau is trying to do.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch Oh. Locke saying “I did everything U asked me to do” “this is not what’s supposed to happen” Has dff. meaning 2 me.

scott_welch: @ASHATL I think “who lies under the shadow” may in fact be a prophecy Richard only knew He who will save us. Locke may be the fulfillment

LOST_WFTB: I’http://bit.ly/KBDLV

LOST_WFTB: ugh. I’m gonna try to do the same thing we do for transcripts for this morning’s conv. http://bit.ly/wAdqU @ASHATL

Model_Melissa: I think Locke (at least his body) *lies* in the shadow of the statue. Jacob’s *in* it. @ASHATL and may I add, Jacob lived IN the statue.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB that looks great! I’ll stop tweeting so that U don’t have to update the blog again. We should’ve a vote:Locke white or black LOL

ASHATL: @Model_Melissa yep, I’m with y’a on this one.

ASHATL: to the relief of Losties & Others at Tweetersphere: I am going off to write articles for our magz. I will keep one eye on tweeter though

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch @ASHATL The role of Richard in this is confusing. Assume that BS influenced Ben then Richard is a bit complicit or a dupe too.

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch to me, Richard was on Jacob’s side, but will soon find out that he was getting played by Esau. Ohboy here I am again

ASHATL: @jstueve ah…and yes, you forgot to mention that I was right about Lost too LOL

jstueve: @ASHATL I’ll wait until Season 6 starts up before I start issuing mea culpas.

ASHATL: @jstueve and I will have to write “I am sorry, I was wrong” (hey Locke said that didn’t he?!) 100.0 times on the blackboard.

scott_welch: @ASHATL @LOST_WFTB the last scene of Richard in Season 5 shows Richard with the “I just got duped look”. can’t wait to find out!

LOST_WFTB: @PedanticBohemia right, I man how many times do we need a description of Charlie banging his head on the ceiling of the loo?

scott_welch: @ASHATL @LOST_WFTB another thing, don’t forget about Smokey. We still don’t know for sure who/what he/she/it is

ASHATL: @scott_welch @LOST_WFTB humm I think we are on to something here…was it like the “you got ply’d”? I bet it was.

ASHATL: @scott_welch: no offense to other tweeps and fans of other things. No one is as fun to tweet with as #LOST fans//I agree!

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch @ASHATL Rousseau says its a security system. I think it’s at first a scanner (Eko, Locke pos.) also does enforcement (Eko).

ASHATL: @scott_welch @LOST_WFTB let’s not forget Locke coming out of the jungle when Ben was waiting 4 Smok & how he disapeared when Alex showed up.

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch @ASHATL I think it might do the bidding of the MiB, but not necessarily IS the MiB. Does Jacob has a similar pet?

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch perhaps it was scanning to find “the one” and oh look, it found it :}

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB I agree with you. Smokey is not MiB but connected somehow. and what about Christian Shepherd? Connected to MiB also? or Jacob?

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB erh, what is MiB?

LOST_WFTB: MiB = Man in Black aka Esau aka Blackie

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch my first guess was Christian was a player for Jacob. But then he basically made Locke go back. problematic?

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch Though he also needed Locke to push the wheel to freeze his team in Dharma times, and setup the BCE timeline. (BCE dependant)

scott_welch: @ASHATL I also think Smokey uses/feeds off dead people. He always appears as dead people (ie Eko’s brother, Boone, Alex)

scott_welch: @ASHATL OK, I’m assuming that it was Smokey who appeared to Locke in his “spirit sauna” #LOST

LOST_WFTB: @scott_welch what about Walt? (appears to Shannon in jungle) or dream instances (Horace, Locke, etc..)

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB at least I don’t lack things to think about until January #LOST

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB yeah, Walt. My only answer is “Walt is special”

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch but Walt appeared in places he wasn’t supposed to so said the Others (3 minutes)

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB @ASHATL and the “I see/hear dead people” Hurley and Miles may end up playing a big role in this as well

ASHATL: @scott_welch @LOST_WFTB I think Walt is 1 interesting story that the writers didn’t get to. He was probably supp. to be a link to Esau/Jacob

LOST_WFTB: Grand theory: Most manipulations are by MiB on the island, a more direct strategy. Jacob plays more 3 dimensional and nuanced, a long con.

ASHATL: @scott_welch @LOST_WFTB or they are characters conveniently written in so that they can explain to obsessed peeps like us what is going on.

scott_welch: @ASHATL but he made an appearance in Season 5, so I’m not sure they’re done with him #LOST

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB The truth is staring us right btwn the eyes.

scott_welch: @ASHATL @LOST_WFTB they are characters conveniently written in so that they can explain to obsessed peeps like us what is going on.// YUP!!

LOST_WFTB: perhaps the whole time shifting on and off was to allow for a much older Walt to play in the end game, alongside Desmond to save the day!

scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB @ASHATL Desmond and Walt, the caped crusaders!!!

ASHATL: @scott_welch I was disapointed with the way that was handled. Don’t think he will be back. I’ll change my mind if he shows up @ start of S6

ASHATL: @scott_welch: @LOST_WFTB @ASHATL Desmond and Walt, the caped crusaders!!!/Right on!

ASHATL: @LOST_WFTB @scott_welch so following along the lines of our ongoing discussion, why did Locke press 77? Why do you think he blew up the sub?

LOST_WFTB: @ASHATL @scott_welch Seems Locke’s whole raison d’etre has been to keep people on the island. Or to further isolate them from outside.

scott_welch: @ASHATL I think you are right that Locke obviously wants to keep people on the island, the big question is WHY.

ASHATL: @nyakototo @lost_WFTB @scott_welch and I had a looong tweetchat about our friend Locke this afternoon. We nearly fried our brains…

LOST_WFTB: *bzzztazzzz* bzzzzzttaaaaa BZzzzzttsss

The show itself is masterfully produced, the themes a seemingly endless maze of twisty little passages all the same. Going back to the beginning and re-watching it my thoughts return to what might be the best starting point for a potential möbius strip through time:

BLACKIE: I don’t have to ask. You brought them here. Still trying to prove me wrong, aren’t you?

JACOB: You are wrong.

BLACKIE: Am I? They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.

JACOB: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.

This is the struggle where our beloved Oceanic survivors were plunged.  I view this series through my series of lenses, part geek, part pop-culturist, part husband, part father… However, the over arching filter is that of my faith, and the more I watch the early episodes, the more I’m reminded of a passage from the bible:

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)

We have been viewing the continuing drama from the eyes of men, and have allowed the hidden battle of two mystical opponents to be obscured by the characters we’ve grown to love.  A struggle summed up by John Locke while explaining a game of backgammon to Walt in the series pilot.

LOCKE: Backgammon is the oldest game in the world. Archeologists found sets when they excavated the ruins of ancient Mesopotamia. Five thousand years old. That’s older than Jesus Christ.

WALT: Did they have dice and stuff?

LOCKE: [nods] Mhhm. But theirs weren’t made of plastic. Their dice were made of bones.

WALT: Cool.

LOCKE: Two players. Two sides. One is light … one is dark.

Seeing the characters from the beginning with that perspective shines new light on everything. Our characters, are they nothing more than pawns played against each other in an unseen game, where chance, choices are played along with strategy and foresight on behalf of higher powers?  Is Locke’s guru like wisdom, as we observe early in the first season could colored by influences of one side versus the other?  Do the manipulations of the various factions in the struggle effect the different passengers on the flight, and start to ripple outwards as we’re introduced to more of the inhabitants of the island?

Those questions along with others are worthy of inspection as we’re introduced again to Rousseau and Ethan, the mysterious, nameless whispers in the jungle, the shrouded others that plot against those plopped on the island by the coincidental fluke in the crash of Oceanic flight 815.

I’ll use this space to ramble more as I worry these thoughts in the back of my mind.

Namaste.
