Case in points:
#1) "When Ji Yeon picks up the phone, Sun says she's got a new friend for Ji in Aaron. So was Sun thinking about bringing Kate and Aaron with her, or taking Aaron for himself or what? One wonders."
"Taking Aaron for 'himself' or what"---so either the author is confused about what Sun's sex is or he is trying to say something about Aaron, himself, in a needlessly convoluted way. Or he just has shitty editors. But hold on, it gets worse...
#2) "Ben gives Sun Jin's wedding ring and explains that Locke gave it to him. Sneaky! He further explains that she needs to decide if she will come with him. She says that she will. Just then, Desmond and Penny walk up and wonder what everyone else is doing there. Thank goodness for plot contrivances. Anyway, they all go inside the church. And Faraday's mother is indeed Eloise Hawking."
Umm, yeah, Penny wasn't in that scene. Talk about "plot contrivances". Are you even watching the same episode as the rest of us? If so, may I have the number of your
#3) "We learn that Charlotte can speak Korean and she helps bring Jin up to speed on Locke's plan to go to the Orchid and get Sun back to the Island."
[sigh] We learned that Charlotte can speak Korean LAST season, you know, like 18 months ago or whatever. Dear God, please try and keep up, man.
#4) "At the bottom of the well, Locke's broken his leg. It's Jacob. Or at least, what I'm taking to be Jacob, in the form of Jack's dad. Though I suppose it could simply be Jack's dad. He explains that he told Locke that to save the Island Locke had to move it himself. Locke argues that Ben told him he knew how. Jacob points out that when has listening to Ben done any good?
Locke also asks what if he can only convince some of them to come back. Jacob says, "I believe in you, John."
Locke says he's ready and Jacob tells him that on the other side of this column is a wheel that's slipped off its axis. All you have to do is give it a little push.
Locke asks if Jacob can help hm up. Jacob says he's sorry, he can't. Locke struggles to make his way over to the no-longer-frozen donkey wheel. He pulls it back and then is bathed in light. Jacob says "Say hello to my son?" This prompts the unanswered question: "Who's your son?"
Jacob is seemingly real. But was he incapable of helping Locke up because he's intangible? Because it was something Locke had to do all on his own? Or what? And who is his son? Ben? Jack? Desmond? Someone altogether different? "
This one really stuck in my craw because there is no hard evidence to support the Christian = Jacob theory--is it possible? yes, and there probably definitely is some connection. From the time I initially read this article to the time I've been expressing my outrage with said article here, the author has actually modified the content to soften his whole Jacob = Christian theory. Originally, the article didn't even mention "Jack's dad" and the author didn't seem to understand the Jack-Christian relationship (I put the added content in bold--it was not there when the article was first posted, you'll just have to take my word for it. Clearly, my rage and the rage of other like-minded nerds brought this to MSN's attention and they were forced to act). You can logically assume by the author's final questions "and who is his son? Ben? Jack? Desmond? Someone altogether different?" that the author's head and ass have been tragically transposed.
As far as I can remember, Christian first introduced himself to Locke as "Christian", not "Jacob". Also, when Hurley found the cabin last season, he saw Christian sitting in the rocking chair and then someone else (who I'm thinking was Jacob) popped their head in the window, scaring Hurley. This is why I take issue with the Jacob = Christian theory.
Long story short: Is this man being paid to write this inaccurate drivel? Seriously? In this economy? Pfft. If I had any faith left in journalism (I didn't), it surely has been trampled to death today.
I think I'll stick with Lostpedia for my Lost gossip/theories.
