Lost "The Hunting Party" Airdate: Jan. 18, 2006
The line has been drawn for the epic battle of the 2005/2006 television season. The battle between good and evil, the black rock and the white rock, yin & yang... But yet, who is good and who is evil? The Losties seem to have a lot of baggage from their past. Many of them are murderers. Before I get into what Jack said to Anna, "How long do you think it will take to train an army?" I wanted to touch on another theory that passed right by me in last nights episode.
Steve McCoy from the Steve & Vikki morning show presented this theory to me this morning. Last night Jack's wife, Sarah, says she is leaving him [Jack] and that she has been seeing someone else. Could that someone else been Desmond? (The crazy guy from the hatch that we meet at the beginning of this season - for those who are just jumping on the LOST bandwagon). Jack did have a funny look on his face when he saw the picture of Desmond and a mystery girl on a table in the hatch. Below is the screen capture of the picture from an earlier episode:
The capture is pretty dark, but it looks like it could be Sarah. Let's compare. Here is a screen capture of Sarah from this episode:
It very well could be her. Sarah lips in the Hunting Party epsisode look a bit more pouty. Then again, she was sad because she was hurting Jack. Many of the posters on the forums are theorizing that Sarah was seeing Ethan because his name (Ethan Rom) was an anagram for "Other Man." I don't buy into that. But you never know with this damn show. We'll have to see if they go back to the picture in a future episode. Who knows, maybe they replaced the originally cast actor. They might slip in another photo to reflect the change.
Here's a good question: why was Jack being such an a-hole to "Mr. Friendly" (that's the name given to him by imdb.com... I think I heard Sawyer call him Zeke)? If it were me, I would be asking him questions rather than fighting with him. "It's your island, ok, you got it. How do we get off? Ya got a boat?"
And why does Mr. Friendly have the appearance of a pirate? Could it be that the pirates from the Black Rock ship that was found in season one are still alive? One of the Dharma Initiative experiments is the Hanso Life Extension Project. While I'm at it, let me list all of the Dharma Experiments:
1. Life Extension Project
2. Electro Magnetic Research Initiative
3. Quest for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence
4. Mathematical forecasting Initiative
5. Cryogenics Development Imperative
6. Juxtapositional Eugenics Development Institute
7. Accelerated Remote Viewing Training
You can find the above listed as well as a few other hidden items on:
The Hanso Foundation website.
By knowing what experiments may be going on, you might have a better understanding as to how the "Others" get around so fast and how they know a lot about the Lostaways. I'm still convinced that there are two sets of others. I read another theory on one of the many forums that said the Others we met last night may be the "Men of Science" where as the Others that the Talies encountered where more spiritual. It may come down to a battle between science and faith. Think about that for a few minutes.
Finally, we begin the subject of Jack's army. I'm pretty sure that this is how the rest of this season will play out culminating in a battle scene where we will have to "Tune In Next Fall To See Who Survives... And Who Dies." Can't we all just get along. It seems that Jack may be bent on building an army and destroying the others. But why? Is he infected with the "sickness?" Is it the main point of all the experiments? Is it the only way that J.J. Abrams can stretch this monster into a third season without pissing all of us viewers off? I welcome your thoughts and comments.
I've probably missed a few things from "The Hunting Party" so feel free to post any comments. Oh yeah... Keep an eye out for a new site popping up under the name Geronimo Jackson. That was the album that Hurley and Charlie pull out and mention a few times.
Until next time. Thanks for reading!

Hi Tripp,
all I have to say is THANK goodness for you and your blogg. Otherwise I would be more "LOST" than I already am. Hey.....maybe they are the the ones "LOST" but the audience?! Now, wouldn't that be a kick on the ass?
