Lost: Eggtown

You know when you totally call a plot point, and watch the plot unwind to this Big Reveal at the end, but you know what's coming?

So, the moment Kate demurred on picking up baby Aaron, and in her flashforward, we heard reference to a baby, my brain put those things together and got one Big Reveal. Because Lost's writers seem to be all about ironic twists, and this was pretty darn ironic.

Also:

Man, I wouldn't toss Sawyer out of my bed, in those cute little white boxer shorts. I imagine legions of fangirls squealing in delight at that scene.

Ben was right: 3.2 million is very specific. Where did this number come from?

Speaking of Ben, what book did he end up with? And what book was Sawyer reading in Casa de Hurley?

And we know where Sun and Jin are, and I wish they were getting more scenes, but this was OK, I suppose.

And Desmond and Sayid and the Helicopter Guy have vanished?! What?

And Oceanic Eight? That totally screws up my count. Stop it with the number guessing games, Lost writers!

I'll go check on Lostpedia about the books.

From Lostpedia:

The first one, a book that Locke takes to Ben from Ben's own bookshelf, is "Valis", by Philip K. Dick.

The book Sawyer is reading ("The Invention of Morel"), however, is even more interesting. The plot synopsis reads as follows:

"A fugitive hides on a deserted island somewhere in Polynesia. Tourists arrive, and his fear of being discovered becomes a mixed emotion when he falls in love with one of them. He wants to tell her his feelings, but an anomalous phenomenon keeps them apart."


Neat, eh? A little less obvious than "Carrie". :)
