Namaste Overview

The runway - That was a really cool scene where Frank lands the plane on the island. We find out in this episode that he landed it on the runway Kate and Sawyer helped build in Season 3. I think this was planned by someone in the past who somehow knew the future, maybe Ben from Jacob. I think they know the Ajira flight would need to land on the island in the future.

Leadership Reversal - How about the switch between Jack and Sawyer in the role of leader? I like Sawyer in his leadership role for some reason. It feels like Sawyer knows so much more about the island, having been there well over three years now. The conversation between Jack and Sawyer was interesting. I first took Jack’s side on his criticism of Sawyer’s leadership style, but quickly understand Sawyer’s thoughtful position toward decision making. I liked Sawyer’s allusion to Churchill during WWII, there is something very cool about reading a book in the midst of turmoil to help a person clear their memory.

Amy’s Little Boy - Ethan! Interesting. Who would have thought Ethan had his roots in the Dharma Initiative?

The Hatch/Swan Station - We see the blading Dharma worker designing the hatch in this episode in the “Flame Station” from season 3. I think we have more to see of the origins of the hatch including the numbers and the mysterious energy source.

Sun not taken to 1977? - Why didn’t Sun transport to the island like Jack, Kate and Hurley? It would make sense that Ben wouldn’t be transported because we know he exists in his younger form at that time. What about Sun? Is she on the island in a younger form. Maybe she has some relation to Pierre Chang, Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund and Dr. Edgar Halliwax...oh wait, they are all the same person.
