Cabin Fever
2 months, 2 weeks ago by WillRead more: Locke, Lost Episodes, season 4
Spoiler Warning
Locke, Hurley and Ben continue their quest for Jacob’s cabin tonight – and we will be introduced to a new character as they draw closer. Also, we’ll see what Michael has been up to since Sayid handed him over to the psychotic Freighter people.
ABC’s Official Show Description
“Locke is enlightened as to the whereabouts of Jacob’s cabin, and life aboard the freighter becomes perilous.”
Tonight’s episode is a Locke-centric flashback, and I have to think this will be one of the better episodes of the season. On the surface it definitely seems to be the most intriguing – we’ve been waiting forever for someone to go back to Jacob’s cabin and for some reason Hurley seems to be the key to that at this point – perhaps he is the most “in sync” with the Island now? Further, based on the show description it does not look like the situation on the freighter is getting any better.

Oh wow, what a wonderful treat. Usually on Thursdays, I spend the day looking at the clock just WAITING for 10pm. Today, I plum forgot it was Thursday and got a happy surprise when I realized.
Hi. My name is PJ, and I am a Lostaholic.
*everyone in unison* “Hi PJ!”

Wow! Another great episode coming up! Can’t wait, as usual. (HI PJ!!)
Comment 5, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
My comment is only on the production, not the story line. The freighter is actually a “work boat” or offshore oil rig supply vessel. It does not have a proper heliport for landing helicopters. The vertical obstructions are well within the diameter of the helicopter blades. I actually witnessed a chopper that accidentally landed on the back of such a vessel. It was hovering over the end of the boat, got one skid hung between some pallets of chemicals, had to put it down unevenly, and the rotor hit the port gunwale and sheared off. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Anyway, I will willingly suspend disbelief, and look forward to tonight’s episode.
Cheers

Hmmmm…..Cabin Fever…could this be a Jacob cabin…a ship cabin…? Oh the possibilities!

Maybe we will get more info on the elusive Jacob tonight? To me, Jacob = Cabin. The cabin has always creeped me out though. Yikes!
I was just getting ready for the LA meeting when I realized it won’t start until 9:00 tonight. See you all there!

I don’t remember…but now that I think about it…this is LOST…so it’s probably a cabin we’ve never seen or thought of and someone probably gets sick (”fever”) that we wouldn’t have thought of…and we’ll probably have a million more questions about it in the morning :)

Yeah it was a movie about a bunch of teenagers that drank some water and their insides started coming out. There was this one part where it was sorta…xxx…guy had fingers in bad spot and blood was everywhere. It was like acid on their bodies and they puked blood. Really nasty movie but very stupid. Most likely has nothing to do with this episode.

Okay, this is totally off-topic, but I figure it’s fair, since the episode doesn’t start for another 85 minutes…
It took me almost the whole first season to stop thinking of Jack as Charlie (because Matthew Fox was Charlie on “Party of Five”). And now, with Bernard playing a central role again, I still see Mr. DeWitt, the principal on “Growing Pains!” There are others, but they didn’t stand out so much. It makes me happy that I didn’t see the Lord of the Rings movies and that most of the other people were unknowns or on shows I didn’t watch!
Okay, back to your regularly schedule “whisper”ing.

Watching the Scrubs series finale on NBC and I could swear they just did a shout-out to Lost…Dr. Cox is telling Jack a bedtime story including all of the characters from Scrubs and Elliot has a problem with a patient/her handmaiden who is being plagued by a monster that looked like an animated smoke monster…so funny!

Spoiler warning!!!!! I’m not sure
Horace may have been one of the few in the Darma group that sided with the others and died later. OR…..Dead time, undead time and living time are different. Either way, Horace’s nose was bleading like Minkowski’s did before he died. Maiby his undead subcouncious is time traveling to his other undead or really dead body?
2 hours ten minutes here in San Diego.

Funniest line - Hurley saying “Mallomars” when Locke woke him up early in the episode.
Comment 50, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
The “creepy guy” was Richard Alpert.
lostpedia.com/wiki/Alpert
The “black guy” was Abaddon.

What he told Locke was to go on a walk-about, to see what he was made of. He put Locke in Australia!

It seems like Richard hasn’t aged from the 50’s till we saw him again luring Juliet to the Island. What a crazy beginning.
Comment 53, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
Not sure I fully understand Abbaddon’s role. Being that he hired Naomi, Faraday, etc, I assumed he was in cahoots with Widmore. But in this episode it seems he was was working on behalf of the island, on the same team that Jacob, Alpert and Ben are on; by giving Locke the idea of an Australian walkabout, he essentially guaranteed Locke would make it to the island.

No, no, I totally disagree. Really juicy ep. We learned:
- Alpert is either a time traveler or ageless. (Q: Why was he so pissed that Little John chose the knife? Had he just stuck with the sand and the compass, would Alpert have taken him to the island right then?)
- Abaddon is much more integral to the story than just as Widmore’s supposed point man. He’s the reason Locke took the trip to Australia in the first place. And like Alpert, he doesn’t seem to have aged. (Perhaps Widmore has a time travel machine in another part of his mansion?)
- We will be seeing Abaddon again when he comes to collect on the favor John now owes him.
- Clare seems like she’s really dead. (Was anyone else REALLY scared when John went into Jacob’s cabin? I thought the appearance of Christian was a bit anti-climatic, since that’s been a theory — though I have no idea how he fits in with Jacob. But then seeing Claire there looking so serene gave me the heebie jeebies. No way she’s still alive and so calm that Aaron isn’t with her.
- Michael STILL can’t be killed. Keemy’s gun worked fine when it wasn’t pointed at Michael!
- The captain of the ship isn’t really in charge. And wasn’t really a bad guy. And now, of course, he’s fish food.
- Keemy IS a bad guy.
- Time difference between the boat (DR alive) and the island (DR dead) = COOL! (But it was a good point brought up earlier… in that case, how come Sayid didn’t arrive before the DR’s body washed up?
- Frank still a cool guy. Correct me if I’m wrong though, but he dropped the sat phone so that Jack & Co. could stay AWAY from Keemy & Co. Guess Jack doesn’t know this yet.
Really liked the ep!

Taken from Lostpedia…
“Roger helped Emily and the baby to the side of a highway and flagged down Horace and Olivia Goodspeed for assistance. Before the Goodspeeds could drive the Linus family to the hospital, Emily died.”
lostpedia.com/wiki/Ben%27s_mot...
I think it’s very possible that Emily Linus is both John and Ben’s mother.

I think someone mentioned it on this blog…and I’m starting to agree that Locke and Jacob may be on in the same. The time lines seem to be on a collision course as DocH once pointed out and that may explain why CS had to speak for Jacob?
Comment 67, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
Great episode.
First, Claire looks like she could take Hurley in a ‘Ranch Dressing’ eating contest.
Hurley fuuny was the power bar - share it with Ben scene,
Horace G-S…not bleeding… bleeding… not bleeding… bleeding, etc… seems like he was on a broken replay. (like Leia… help me Obi-Wan!… help me Obi-Wan!… help me Obi-Wan!, etc…)
Alpert at Locke’s baby care, Alpert at 8 yr old Locke’s house. Alpert trying to recruit H-School musical Locke to Mittelos in Portland. Abbadon trying to recruit wheel chair Locke. Locke’s mom to Emily - Locke’s dad is twice the age of Locke’s mom. hmmmm… Emily hit by a car. Juliet’s ex hit by a bus? Who else.
sKeamy with a “mysterious” detonater attached to his arm. Michael beaten down. Lapidus still an honest agent, Des slinking into the shadows?
One of the best three episodes this season. They are bringing it.
Alpert with young Locke: Knife, Compass, Book of Jesus, bottle of Jacob ‘kitty-litter’, plus what? One more? Why the anger and storming out by Richard?
Comment 68, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
Man that might have been the best episode this season, so far, maybee..but it looks like the captain is clearly not in chagre or if he ever was, and keamy is running the operstion…and who is alpert suppose to be, an alien from another planet, and where is he now?… its all to creepy that he has been recruiting john locke from when he was a baby..thats before ben was born, and i think ben was just the alternitive to the island until locke could get there… what is claire doing in the cabin and how she just gonna leave baby aaron like that and not care?…and what is jacks dad doing speaking for jacob?…i hope sayid gets back to the island before keamy does, and…MOVE THE ISLAND, WTF…my theory on vile vortices was right, i think the island can jump into different dimensions, and that explains why alpert has not aged, cause in other dimensions there is no growth and u r in a state of illusion… so does that mean when someone dies from the island they are not really dead but just moved to another dimension?

Comment 71, posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago - Quote and reply
I’m trying to make sense of the Jacob-Christian connection too. Did Christian know about the island or know Jacob before he (Christian) “died”? Or was that not the case, but once OA815 crashed on the island, did Jacob/the island somehow take over Christian’s body? I hope the explanation doesn’t turn out to be that by landing on the island, Christian was brought back to life - I’ve been trusting in D&C’s statement that characters who are dead stay dead, and I think it would suck if they play games with what the meaning of “dead” is.
And how does this relate to Yemi and Horace? Yemi appeared to Eko, while Eko was awake. But both Yemi and Horace appeared to Locke, while he was sleeping, and gave him instructions that apparently came from the island/Jacob.

At this point I’m reluctant to rule anything out (except Charlie still being alive - sorry PJ!), but I don’t think it’s likely that they have the same mother. Ben’s mother died when Ben was born, so that’s like 35 to 40 years ago. But we saw Locke’s mother Emily alive in flashback scenes that occurred within 10 years or so before the crash.
However, I do think it’s intentional that the writers gave their mothers the same name, to show the similarity/connection between Ben and Locke.
