Season 3 Episode 4

Update Season 3 Episode 4
Everyman For Himself

The episode starts with Desmond still predicting the future, and eventually saving Claire and Aaron from being hit by lightning

The conversation Jack had with Juliet about Ben being the boss was quite interesting, since Ben (Henry Gale) had very similar conversations with Locke regarding Jack while held captive in the hatch. For example:
Season 2 Episode 15 - Maternity Leave
GALE: I just don't understand why you let the doctor call the shots.
LOCKE: No one calls the shots. Jack and I make decisions together.
GALE: Right, okay. My mistake.
At this point Locke gets pissy and smashes some dishes on the floor
Season 2 Episode 17 - Lockdown
LOCKE: It's too late anyway. She's already long gone, Jack.
JACK: So, what's done is done?
LOCKE: That's right.
JACK: Put him back in the armory. [he exits]
GALE: Why do you let him talk to you like that? [Locke grabs him by the collar and forcefully takes him to the armory] Hey, wait, I...
LOCKE: Shut up!

Something also came true in this conversation when Ben entered the room. He confirmed that the Others do have a submarine as he said to Juliet, "The sub is back, we have a situation..."

As Sawyer was waking up on the operating table you can here Tom (aka Zeke) say to Ben "Since the sky turned purple we've lost all communication...". Does this mean the Others don't know why the sky turned Purple? And since they are still talking to each other via radio does this mean the communication they have lost is with the "real" world.

There is a direct reference here to the movie Pulp Fiction. As they are about to give Sawyer the needle the guy says "you have to put it through the sternum, just like in the movie..." then the guy counts 1, 2, 3 and stabs the needle in, exactly like John Travolta does to Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

In case you were blind, the Rabbit had an 8 on it, one of the "special" numbers.
We see the x-rays of someone with a spinal tumor and Jack says it's a male in his 40's. Clearly we are being led to believe that this is Ben but for Lost this seems a little too obvious.

Colleen is dead and Danny confirms that that was his wife. Tom says Danny wants to kill Sawyer and Ben says "Danny can wait". Guess they need Sawyer for something just like they need Jack.

Juliet is a fertility doctor. Good to have on a small island where you would likely want to keep producing babies to keep your population alive.

Sawyer tells the warden he can find the money in a truck, in a storage building, #23C, again one of the "special" numbers.

My last thought. I think a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that the Others live on a separate island. I disagree. I think just like Ben said that they use this island like a prison, like Alcatraz. I believe their village is still on the main island. When the plane crashed Ben told Goodwin and Ethan to head to the site. They both ran there, no sign of a boat or sub. Also there are a lot of characters we don't see around like the children the Others took.

Ok if you haven't seen the preview for next week go to lostlinks.net cause it's a must see
Next week is Eko flashback time with the episode called "The Cost of Living". And as reported on ET Canada last night one of the MAJOR characters will be killed off. I have a good idea who it is, but I won't ruin it for anyone.
