Lost 4.05, The Constant
Yes, this is a little late but since I now have both a full-time job and a part-time job, it really couldn't be helped. *sigh*
- I don't get the whole time travel thing. I mean, there are too many paradoxes to think about... it hurts my brain.
- I was hoping Fisher Stevens was going to have a bigger role. :(
- I like the Penny/Desmond thing but really, they don't hold a candle to Jack/Kate. Sorry.
- All I kept thinking was "Does this mean Kate is Jack's Constant?" Which leads to...
- I haven't seen anyone mention this yet but I had wondered if the flash forward in TTLG was actually Jack jumping forward. I mean, it would explain why he looks so shitty and why he is such a mess. I mean, was he jumping back and forward, trying to fix the mess they got into leaving the island (including the Aaron thing and his relationship with Kate)? I'm probably way off but it does fit somewhat into other theories about the Losties needing to fix the past to fix the present. Or perhaps not but I don't get why TPTB would do an episode like this without it having some sort of meaning on future episodes...???
BTW, a random thought on Eggtown: I've been wondering why Jack was asked on the stand if he loves Kate. Yes, the attorney might be part of the whole Oceanic conspiracy but eveyone in the court room, judge included, seemed to find it pretty non-shocking and not out-of-the-blue. I mean, Kate was never put on the stand so there has never been an other testimony for what Jack and Kate were other than fellow plane crash survivors. My point is that I wonder if Kate didn't say to the media or whomever that Jack is Aaron's father? Of course, this would depend on how long they were on the island, in actual time. If it was actually 3 months, then this doesn't make sense. But if they were gone for 18 months or so, this makes TOTAL sense. It would explain asking if Jack loves Kate... if he fathered her child, wouldn't it be an understandable question?
