LOST Episode 5×15 “Follow the Leader” - Screencaps, Easter Eggs, Audio, & Analysis
May 6, 2009
Clearly a set up episode this week, but a good episode nonetheless. A heavy dose of Richard Alpert is always a good thing, especially in both timelines 30 years apart. Leave your thoughts at 920-626-6086. Now on to our thoughts:
- To me, the most important comment of the episode was Richard’s revelation that he watched the Losties die back in 1977. This would indicate that we’ll find out next week whether or not whatever happened, happened or if free will wins out. If whatever happened, happened then we’re losing a significant portion of the cast (Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Jin).
- Yet another mention of Richard’s agelessness, this time by Ben. Ben also referred to Richard as an “advisor”. Many people have surmised that Richard was originally part of the Black Rock crew (if he’s not tied to the ancient Egyptian influences). We saw him working on what appeared to be a model of the Black Rock ship. Could this be a hint?
- Despite my objections, it appears that Ellie may be pregnant with Daniel in 1977. Widmore can be heard faintly discussing Ellie’s “condition” while he has his hand on her stomach. This would put Faraday at about 30 years old when he died, although he seamed a fair amount older than that, hence my objections.
- How did the island tell Locke exactly when to dispatch Richard to 2004 Locke? It was nice to see how Richard knew, but it’s even more of a mystery now regarding John’s “communion” with the island.
- When Radzinsky demanded that Sawyer draw a map, we couldn’t help but wonder if this would end up being an influence on the blast door map. Probably not a big deal.
- I was surprised to hear dissension from Richard regarding Locke (”I’m starting to think John Locke is going to be trouble.”), especially to Ben. Richard was influential in getting John in place and ousting Ben. WTF?
- Are we finally going to get some insight into Jacob? It sure would seem so based on Locke’s mission to take everyone to Jacob and then kill him. So why does Locke now feel the need to kill Jacob? Did the island tell him to do that? If so, why?
