I think both Widmore and Desmond will return to the Island. I mean, they've got to wrap up Widmore's story in some way, don't they?
Lost 6x05: "Lighthouse"
- Thread starter Agent Richard07
- Start date
They left out the deleted scene where Claire has an animal crawl up on her head and passes away. Hopefully it will surface on the DVD. 
Average. I think I'm getting bored of a) Jack angst and b) characters being sent on wild goose chases for mysterious reasons.
Nice eerie touch with Shannon's inhaler. Kudos to Jack for finally getting fed up enough to smash something.

We don't know exactly what year Jack was born, do we? Because his mother tells him that his appendix was taken out when he was seven or eight. That would probably be some time in the 70s, but we don't know exactly when. I guess this would be the earliest confirmed difference between the two timelines, chronologically.
No one is coming to the island. It was a metaphor for Jack finally realizing that he somehow has an important part to play in all this.
i really agree with this..
so far there have been about two answers but three more questions get raised.
those promos just look sillier and sillier..
Christian is MIB/Smokey/Locke.
I think he had his appendix taken out, pre-time jump, pre leaving the island even
That's nothing. Dave Lister had his appendix taken out twice on Red Dwarf.
Right, in the prime timeline. In the alt-timeline, he had it taken out when he was a kid. Presumably some time in the 70s, though it depends on exactly how old Jack is.
Wasn't that scar in the same place as Jack's injury from the crash (in Reality A)? Was he freaked out because in all those years, he's never noticed a scar there?
Crazy Claire, Hurley, Jacob and Jin = good parts of the episode.
Emo Jack = bad part of the episode which was signficantly improved when it was revealed Jacob was pulling his strings. I really liked Jacob in this episode and hope the writers don't mess things up too badly.

I feel like this episode kind of indirectly confirms that maybe (e)Locke is lying about the caves. Caves belong to Evil Locke, and the Lighthouse is Jacob's. There's also the conspicuous-ness of no Kate on the cave wall but she was on Jacob's wheel.
Maybe the cave lists Smokey's candidates, the lighthouse lists Jacob's. Or not.
Why not just call him man-in-Locke?
Because that sounds too "Deliverance."
Some scattered thoughts:
- If Jack's appendix was removed when he was 7 or 8, then for changes in the alternate timeline to have spawned from 1977, Jack would've been about 35 in the Pilot (when Fox was about 38), and would be 38 now (Fox is now 43). I know actors commonly play characters a few years younger, or in the case of lost, sometimes several years younger than their character is during flashbacks, so this could fit. The question is, why did his appendix burst so many years earlier?
- I think David's mom will be Juliet. No one else seems the right age or circumstances. If David is around 12 (the actor is 13), that would make him born around 1991. That at least rules out Kate. It's possible that the mom is still Sarah, but the circumstances would have to be radically different.
- Dogen being in the US seems off. I realize everything is supposed to be coincidental, but Ethan, Ben, Dogen, and whoever else being in the LA area seems beyond coincidence. It starts to make me think that the X in "LA X" doesn't just mean a parallel world, but literally X means crossing because everyone is crossing there (which I thought in the first place).
- Why the tease with Adam and Eve? They'd better explain who it is now. I love that Hurley is the voice of what the average viewer thinks, and he starts speculating that it's them who died in the past, which echoes what a lot of people post on message boards.
- Hurley almost definitely actually sees dead people since Dogen couldn't see Jacob. I know it was a theory that the dead people he saw weren't really dead, especially since one of his inmates at the psych ward saw Charlie. Interesting to note that Jacob said Hurley wouldn't see him where he was... and where would that be?
- The wheel in the lighthouse seemed to have a couple names that weren't crossed out. Kate's was among them, although her number didn't correspond to the infamous numbers. Either the other people exist somewhere else on the island, or they have yet to come. I'm pretty sure Jacob was just deceiving Hurley, but perhaps there is some truth to him saying that someone is coming.
- Claire seemed to get the whole temple treatment, so it may be possible that Rousseau's team did as well.
- Is the man in black truly the image of Christian? Claire seems to refer to them being separate, although she may have just been tricked.

The way she told Jin about it was that first her father came to her, then her "friend." Sounds like one, then the other showed up. I've no doubt they're one and the same.
Now watch me be wrong.
