It was one of the most delightfully playful scenes in the last six years.
Desmond, in league with Hurley, exploiting Ana Lucia’s tendencies toward self-enrichment to stage a jail break for two most important players in the final moves on the grand Cuatro chessboard. But Desmond is not moving pawns about the board. Hurley is a rook–a mighty castle–serving his Island’s queen and her bishop-martyr. Desmond is the great knight, of his own free will serving King and Island. He and Hurley are neither puppets nor pawns, but free agents of conscience, collaborators in a noble and necessary cause, working con brio toward the final move.
Previously, on Lost: Sawyer screwed the pooch on the sub, sabotaging Shephard’s straight-shooting speech and subsequently sending Sayid towards suicide. The sub shook and shimmied and Shephard saved Sawyer, while Sun and her suitor sucked seawater and said sayonara. Shephard and the sole survivors soon sobbed.
This week, on Lost: As many a time before over the past six seasons, we open on an eye. Jack’s, to be exact. We soon see that he’s not waking up in a jungle, or trapped inside a Dharma aquarium, or bearded and hopped up on goofballs. No, this is AlternaJack, and he’s got quite the life, now. It’s morning in LA X, and Dr. Shephard makes his way to the bathroom. Once there, he notices something very peculiar, indeed.
Dude, you really need to stop eating PB&J in bed.
Little Jack Jr. interrupts his pop and says he’s made breakfast. They sit down to a big ol’ hearty bowl of Super Bran and it becomes quite obvious how Jack got his neck wound – he probably blew out a vein in the bathroom after all that fiber. David asks his dad if he’s coming to the concert tonight, and Jack says absozooberutely.
