It would also explain why Desmond didn't see anything when he sailed around, there's an illusion at least of nothing being around it anywhere except, i guess, at this one concealed spot..
Truman Show, anyone?
OK, I am pumped for next season. This is awesome. On to the interesting stuff...
First of all, Widmore- Desmond's Girl's Father. I knew I recognized this name. Turns out, this name was printed on the side of the real Henry Gale's downed Balloon. (See Below). Looks like the Widmores are doing a little search-and-rescue. Seeing as Penelope Widmore was contacted by the two Cold Bros, it would make sense that she is hunting for Desmond, and sending out searches.
Also, Desmond's buddy in the hatch... he was the Army guy in Sayid's flashback to Iraq Episode... I knew I had seen him before. I'll post some screenshots once the other LOST forums start accepting traffic.
Sorry, but that's about all the rock-solid leads I've got. Now, some questions.
Henry can't be "him", right? Despite his directive efforts on the dock at the end, there must be a higher power they're reporting to. When in the hatch, i'm pretty sure the fake Henry mentioned "Him" and how "He" was going to kill him. I don't know about you guys, but I'm convinced "He" is Hanso.
Bearing 325? "I can assure you, you won't be able to return"? It totally sounds like a snowglobe with a little hole. And if so, where? and how might those Cold Bros detect the magnetic anomoly? I can't wait to hear them explain this one... Surely the polar bear has something to do with the Cold Bros.
How did Desmond sail into the snowglobe? One-way invisible walls? Another explanation I can't wait to hear.
Will we follow Jack, Kate, and Sawyer next season? I sure as heck hope so. It could provide the show with some great depth, having the main characters somewhere comletely different. And i'm guessing it's not on the island, either... the fact that they anded on the dock seems significant to me. Honestly, when Ms. Clue picked up Hurley i was expecting her to open a trapdoor into a hatch or something.
THE FOOT!!! What the HECK is going on here? This show is darned COMPLEX! Did that look Roman to anyone else? This is most definetly going to play a HUGE part in the coming season(s), and I'm glad they just teased us with it. My mind is reeling.
How did Charlie, Locke, and Ecko survive? We can all be quite certain that none of them died, as there would be no sense in killing off Locke from the producer's standpoint... he's one of the (if not
the) most important characters. Desmond may not be so lucky, as we've already learned most of his story and he already said his goodbyes... though for the second time. "See you in another life, Brotha."
Libby and Desmond? I can't wait to see where this is going. Libby obviously has some sketchy connections to other Losties, especially Hurley. I'm glad they brought her back for this episode.
That's about it for now... I should really head to bed. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!
EDIT: Looks like thehansofoundation.com is down. They must be updating it...
