Have to admit I was almost disappointed when they didn't, even though I have been dying to see them reunited. It would have been so awesomely tragic!

EH - love all that you said above, seemed that way to me as well. Really hoping for the redemption of true John Locke.

Did anyone figure out why the ep was called "Last Recruit"? I feel dumb...

Oh shucks, can't take the sailboat to escape because they don't have the coordinates.......

So let me see if I have this straight.......in order to escape the Island by boat or helicopter you need the proper coordinates; but submarines and jet airplanes are exempt from this restriction??????

Submarine: The coordinates would be on the sub (one assumes that Whidmore would be planning to leave at some point).

Airplane: Smoked Lox might have the knowledge necessary.

Locke probably figures he can get someone from Widmore's crew to tell him the coordinates. Or send Sayid in there to find them.

Yes - I was waiting for the big zap!

Fair enough, I suppose.....just seems a bit contrived to me.

Speaking of contrivances, "Hey everyone, I saw some canned food down in the galley, all those except those needed for the next scene please follow me"

I don't know if this is a virtual reality experiment, which has been suggested, but that might explain why the Asian dude's age is inconsistent. He may be a running part of the program, like a constant represented by a real person running the experiment, or someone completely fictional.

I really got the sense last night that the two timelines are headed for a convergence. It's like Desmond is readying the people in the alternate timeline for the final battle, as well. Had this feeling last night that a lot of the Losties on the Island were headed for their death scenes, and just when The Lockeness Monster thinks he's won, he'll be somehow faced with Losties from the alternate timeline, only they won't be so "alternate" anymore, as they will have come to remember their Island selves. Whether the alternate timeliners fly another plane, and Desmond makes it possible to both bring them into the future *and* to the existing Island, or whether The Lockeness Monster gets off the Island only to find that there are a group of people (people he thought had all been defeated) waiting for him on the "mainland", I do see the parallel universe converging somehow. It also felt like Juliette's last words, "It worked," had greater meaning.

And I may be way off base with all of this, but I do love the idea of the real John Locke in a mother ****ing showdown with The Lockeness Monster. There even seemed a hint of that in the way Smokey was talking about the real Locke. I had this, "Just you wait, tough speaker!" feeling. Then again, maybe real Locke was just a sucker. Heh.

And THEN they all realize they are in some sort of virtual reality experiment or game? Heh.

Totally. Everyone's rallying at the hospital. Desmond is pretty much a less-subtle version of Jacob (lack of subtlety necessitated by his later start), "nudging" them all towards decisions and paths that bring them together. Can't wait to see what happens when they all get there.

Anyone else catch the echo of episode 1. Whidmore blows up the beach, next thing you know, we're watching Jack wake up with muffled hearing, and Locke running around the beach being a helping hand. Felt real familiar. Smokey may turn out to be more like the real Locke than he realizes.

I thought they were surely getting zapped. Hand raised.

I'm still going with the parallel dimension thing.
