A LOST Little Prince

LOST's episode 5.4, The Little Prince was WOW! SO MANY ANSWERS REVEALED!!! You wanted answers - we got them. We also got more questions, book references and an a new anagram! This is so exciting! So let's see what The Little Prince gave us:

1. My first observation (and this is totally probably nothing) but this season Aaron always seems to have something red in his hand. Last week it was a red crayon and this episode began with a bottle of ketchup. hmmmmm. It's probably nothing, but I just wanted to point it out.

2. Sun has been watching and investigating Ben and Jack for a short while - we can see this from the pictures she pulls out of the envelope. However, if you pause right at the perfect moment the report she got is dated 2004 and has the names Allie Lamar, Walbert Dopelson on it. hmmmm? Didn't those fake chocolates look real?

3. Nose bleeds correlate with time on the island. Charlotte was there the earliest. Miles' bloody nose came next, which may mean that he came next to the island. (Like I said in the past - probably Dr. Chang's son). Juliet, next. Then would come the Oceanic peeps and lastly Faraday, since he was a freighter boy. However, things may turn out differently.

4. How does Locke know that the O6 are still alive when he saw Keamy's arm bomb thingy turn off?

5. Who's the guy who tried to kill Sayid and why does he have Kate's address? I doubt he's one of Ben's men, so who is he with - possibly Widmore? Sayid sure is a badass!

6. Hurley looks great in orange!

7. Jack's phone # is 323-555-0156! Guess he lives in Hollywood or near there.

8. They meet at slip 23 in the marina - shout out to one of Hurley's #s

9. The beam of light! Looked like the light on the top of the Luxor hotel to me - but we all know it was the moment the Swan hatch light went on for Locke! What an epic moment in LOST history, and now we get to see if from afar. Locke knew exactly "when" they were.

10. Kate, Claire and the delivery of Aaron. That meant that Jin and Charlie were standing nearby. The birth of Aaron was also the same moment that Boone died. A lot was going on the island at that moment. But this is where I toot my own horn and say, "I told you so!" Now we can totally assume we know what the whispers are (which I've been saying for a very long time - go check out my posts from The Fuselage if you don't believe me). The whispers are people in or around the exact same spot in another time (kinda like a different dimension - there but not 'there').

11. Where are Rose and Bernard?

12. Where the heck did Claire ever get to?



13. The Little Prince - what's with the name? Besides that fact that it's a French book and we see Danielle Rousseau and her French team, there's a lot on this book and it's correlation with LOST! I love the LOST writers. FIRST OF ALL - The book was written by a French PILOT!!! HA! His name is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The idea for the book first came to the author after he experienced a plane crash in the Sahara. The story starts out talking about a jungle and introducing the narrator as a pilot. It also begins with a child vs adult perception of a child's drawing of a snake eating an elephant. The child sees the snake, but to the adult's eye it looks like a picture of a hat. There is a short lesson here about how one views life. The story also mentions a shipwreked sailor in the middle of an ocean. The narrator and a little prince meet in a desert where the narrator crashed his plane. The little prince reveals that he is from another planet. The little prince keeps saying how everything is so small where he is from. This little prince was from astroid B-612. (hmmm more #s). The little prince is also looking for sheep (could the O6 be Ben's sheep). The story also mentions France. One line that intrigues me in the book is when the little prince says,"I am very busy with matters of consequence."Next the little prince spoke of a flower that he loved but felt was in danger. He also felt that even though he had love for this flower, the flower would never know his love (Does this sound like Sawyer and Kate to anyone?). The flower in the book also has a strong personality and expresses no fear in the face of tigers. The little prince describes the flower as a "very complex creature." The little prince describes being "too young to know how to love her."The little prince then leaves his flower and visits 6 different astroid planets inhabited by 6 different beings (all seeming to represent a side of Sawyer that we have seen in the past). The little prince first meets a king that insists that his authority be respected (let's recall the "new sheriff in town" line), then the little prince meets a conceited man who only heard praise, then he met an alcoholic (and while Jack has been our depressed alcoholic time and again, Sawyer never passes up the chance for a Dharma beer), then he meets a business man who is counting all the stars because he wants them for himself (let's remember who the 'real Sawyer' was - be it con man or Locke's dad aka Tom Sawyer), then he meets a Lamplighter - the only one who is doing something for the good of others, but just follows orders (I think we've seen Sawyer take the back seat before), and lastly MY FAVORITE, the little prince meets a man who is reading a large book (hmmm have we ever seen Sawyer reading - YA like almost every episode)!!! However, the man is a geographer who specifically says he knows the location of all the seas, rivers, towns, mountains, and deserts. Interestingly, the geographer tells the little prince that his beloved flower is ephemeral, meaning that it will die one day. Lastly, the little prince goes to earth. When the little prince meets a fox on earth we get a neet quote, "Here is my secret. It's quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. . . . It's the time that you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important. . . . People have forgotten this truth,” the fox said, “But you mustn't forget it. You become responsible for what you've tamed. You're responsible for your rose. . . .” (My belief, if I haven't been clear yet is, Sawyer is the little prince and Kate is the rose, and LOST has a ton of metaphors from the book The Little Prince).


14. Ajira - we finally see our new airline http://www.ajiraairways.com/
I wonder who came on the flight? Maybe that's why that runway was being built way back when. I wonder if they just missed themselves leaving on an Ajira flight home. Hope Vincent's ok. Maybe all the empty beer cans were left over from a celebration party.

15. Locke is exactly where he needs to be.

16. Why the hell is Sawyer wearing red!?! Get that red shirt off of him and put any other color on him!!! You all know what a red shirt means and it can't be good.

17. Wonder who is in the other Ajira boat?

18. Claire's mother knows nothing about nothing - apparently.


19. YAY a LOST anagram - you guessed it - that van does say something. CANTON RAINIER when all mixed up says, "REINCARNATION" dun dun dun!!!

20. JIN IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again tooting my horn - I knew it!!! Except I thought he'd be stuck in the middle of leaving and the time warp. Apparently, he's caught in the time warp. But how does Jin meeting Danielle Rousseau work with what Daniel Faraday said about not being able to change the past??? AND MY BIG QUESTION IS THIS - Did Jin get thrown into Danielle's time or is he momentarily caught in one of our time flashes. Will he run into Sawyer and Locke and join them or is he stuck in a different time shift since he was so far away from the island when it disappeared? What happens if Jin tells Danielle not to let Ben ever take Alex? Then what?

21. How did Sun know where they were all meeting? Guess she's still following Ben.

22. The French guy and the receiver playing Hurley's numbers!!! We see and hear the original moment before Danielle recorded over it!!! Loved it!

23. Here's a BIG question (thanks Tamara for bringing it to my attention): Why were our island friends able to keep the canoe? Shouldn't it have disappeared when the island flashed again, leaving them swimming in the ocean? OR, do they get to keep anything they hold on to? Such as Locke's compass? He was given the compass by Alpert during a different time, Locke is able to hold on to it for some time. When he meets Alpert in the past and tells him about the compass, he drops it and it leaves with the flash. I also believe that Sawyer picked up his new gun from someone in "Because You Left." What happens if he puts it down during a flash?
