This Place is Death
My apologies for not posting this blog sooner, however, those of you who know me personally can probably guess that the past couple of days have been rather turbulent. With that said...
...Charlotte, fare thee well. We knew ye so little, and fear thee not, we're all so frakkin' pissed that they killed you off, we'll be sending threatening emails to Team Darlton for weeks.
So, the island's resident redhead bit it this week, but not before confessing to Daniel that yes, in fact, she had been to the island before. Actually, she was born there, and her mum and dad were part of this little thing known as the Dharma Initiative. Well, at least that explains why she was all wide-eyed and wondrous at the sight of that fossilized polar bear last season. And, oh yeah, when she was a kid, and she and her mum were about to leave the island, a scary old man told her never to come back, because she would die. Oh, didn't I mention that that scary old man was YOU, DANIEL FARADAY?
And, that is where I throw in the towel, kids. I, the Queen of All Things (LOST) am completely, 110% confused. I just don't understand. Wouldn't Daniel have a memory of that time when he told CharChar not to come back? Has it not happened yet? But how could it not have happened? Why does Charlotte have such an accelerated demise while people like Miles, Sawyer, and Juliet seem to have the symptoms but aren't collapsing in the jungle and hearing Geronimo Jackson songs? Is Locke affected AT ALL? If not, what is his constant? Why is Christian being all leading-souls-to-the-underworld-like? Is this whole time-jumping thing really happening just because Ben didn't turn the wheel and LOCK IT INTO PLACE? Why doesn't Danielle recognize Jin in season 1 back from when they met back in 1988? Why is she the only one who seems to notice when our time-jumping friends disappear? Does Kate truly think that she is Aaron's mom? Why did Eloise tell Ben that he had to get ALL OF THEM and then, be like, "Ok, well, this is fine, too"? What superpower does Desmond harness that can make his SAILBOAT get from London to LA in a matter of HOURS? And why didn't Ben answer ol' Dezzie's question about also being there to find Daniel's mother? Does Ben not know that Eloise IS Daniel's mother?
Ok, so, people, since I'm a little off-kilter this week, you're going to have to help me out. Post your ideas/theories in the comments, and we'll all get through this together.
Next week: MORE Jate-lovin'. Weeeeeee!

Did you happen to catch the name on Ben's carpet cleaning van: Canton-Rainier. It's an anagram of "reincarnation".
Yes, Anonymous, I did. Perhaps that will play out soon enough when John Locke/Jeremy Bentham makes it back to the island with the rest of the O6ers...
Locke is not dead. I never thought Locke was dead. I also never thought Jin was dead. I was pleased to be proven right about Jin.
Okay, so maybe Faraday telling Charlotte not to come back hasn't happened yet, but also has happened. So Faraday now knows Charlotte will die because she can't do the whole jumping through time thing. So he figures out that he can move through time (via not putting the wheel back in place or some other method he concocts) and goes back and tells little Charlotte NOT TO COME BACK (but of course she does). Therefore, little Charlotte already saw older Faraday and he delivered his warning, but Faraday in present time has yet to actually go back and tell her not to come back.
Oh, and my biggest question for this season - why doesn't Faraday take his tie off? I mean, does he really need it now?
I never noticed the tie before, Meghan, but now I'm sure that's all I'll see from now on. Thanks for that.
