Who Were the Living Members of Jackã¢â‚¬â„¢s Family After He Died?

What if Keamy had a sibling? What if Keamy killed that sibling?

There's some reason to consider this, but information technology'll showtime take some working through "Motel Fever" and the multitude of narrative and mythical mirror-twinned and paralleled coordinates. Every now and then an episode similar "Motel Fever" helps the audition (and probably the writers) get a snapshot of just where and how these coordinates are related, and they're so prevalent in this episode, this piece could about be written in 2 columns to map out the conjunctions.

Start at the macro level, with the overall shape of the narrative. The starting time three seasons went through the Lostaways showtime encounters with the Others; their beginning encounters with the Tailies and the DHARMA Initiative; and the Survivors clash with the Others. The stop of the third season seemed to exist some kind of hinge where the second one-half of the narrative ? the adjacent iii seasons ? reflexes back upon the first iii seasons. That ways some of those original coordinates volition be revisited, only since nosotros're working dorsum, not in the same fashion. Now nosotros're seeing role-reversals and narrative mirror-twinning that expands across characters into groups, scenes, themes, and even structure (flashbacks and flashforwards).

There in one case were the Others and the DHARMA Initiative, two factions in a struggle over the island who protected the island from outsiders who mean the island impairment. Now the survivors take split into their own two groups caught up in a small-scale struggle over domain, and they all in turn side with the Others (at least Ben) to protect the island against a new group of outsiders, the Freighties. The Survivors have taken on the function of the Others.

A number of episodes from this flavor contain scenes that mirror moments from previous seasons, thematically tying the scenes together (again in a very mirror-twin manner). Consider the scene from "Confirmed Dead," when Jack and Kate walk Miles and Faraday through the jungle; when Miles's scanner starts to beep, he pulls his gun and wants to follow the signal (turns out it's Vincent). Jack tells him to put the gun down, that he has people in the jungle with guns aimed at their Freightie heads, and a warning shot is let out from the jungle. This mirrors the scene from the 2d season episode "The Hunting Party" where Jack, Locke and Sawyer meet Tom out in a clearing, guns drawn. Tom tells the Lostaways to put the guns down, but Jack challenges him, maxim (similar Miles) that he doesn't believe Tom had anyone else out in the jungle with him. At that Tom yells "Light 'em upward!", the Others light their torches, and they detect themselves surrounded by people with guns. Information technology's the same plot, simply the roles have been reversed. Likewise, "The Constant" pointed dorsum to "Flashes Before Your Eyes," and the 10th episodes of each season has then far concerned themselves with parental themes ("Raised By Another," "The 23rd Psalm," and "Tricia Tanaka is Expressionless"). In that location are many more than such connections; just take a look at the books appearing in the narrative for some roadsigns.

The flashforwards are also working their way backwards, so the flashforwards before in the season occurred subsequently in the narrative time of the off-island Oceanic Six, and those flashes are working their way dorsum to when they offset fabricated it off the island. While ane narrative timeline (the island) heads in one direction, the other narrative timeline (the flashforwards) work in the opposite direction; one heads from order to disorder (the isle), and the other leads from disorder to order (the flashforwards). This would be a expert place to review the concepts of entropy and the arrow of fourth dimension, but that'southward been written well-nigh here before, then let'due south not take besides long a sidetrack. But it's worth noting that in thermodynamics, entropy tracks the direction of energy moving from order to disorder, which is likewise how nosotros measure out time. Nineteenth century Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who congenital on the piece of work of Michael Faraday and whose namesake was used for the Maxwell Group in the alternating reality game Find 815, had a famous thought experiment most how thermodynamic entropy (and time) could exist reversed ? Maxwell's Demon. Think about that when nosotros watch the island narrative fourth dimension moving in 1 management, into increasing disorder, and the flashforward fourth dimension moving in opposite, into increasing order; the narrative itself is demonstrating one of the principle subtexts.

The clearest mirror-twining in "Cabin Fever" is with Locke and Ben. For some time now, the power dynamic of the scientific Jack and the spiritual Locke has shifted to a new dynamic between Locke and Ben (which as well plays into the focus shift from the Survivors to the Others, and the Survivors as the Others). Locke was recruited by Ben and the Others last flavor, and had to sacrifice his father, Cooper, to show his intentions. Ben has played on Locke's nascent sense of exceptionalness, and it's at present clear that the Others have been trying to recruit Locke for some time; Ben, typically playing all sides of an issue, at once helps past bringing Locke into the fold, and also attempts to take Locke out considering he represents a threat to Ben's leadership. Ben seems to recognize both the parallels, and the differences.

Locke and Ben were both born prematurely into single-parent homes, and both mothers are named Emily, but Ben's Emily died, whereas Locke's Emily gave him up for adoption. As boys, both were tranquillity and had displayed a certain facility for learning (especially science), but the one who was recruited to the island rejected his calling, while the one who concluded up on the island embraced it. They both take some kind of psychic sync with the island; whether that'southward through Jacob or has something to practise with the island itself remains to exist seen.

But one thing is becoming increasingly articulate: Ben is a pretender to the isle throne. We got the intriguing proffer that he was ordered to commit the purge, presumably by Jacob, just nosotros also know Ben seems to always accept more reason to bend the truth than disembalm it, so this isn't certain. Did Ben orchestrate his own coup for leadership, or was he somehow chosen past the Others? And what might accept been if Locke had just picked the volume instead of the knife when Richard visited him as a boy? Or if Locke had merely gone to science camp when he had the gamble? Considering if Locke had called correctly, Locke would have been on the island and most likely already the de facto leader of the Others past the time of Ben's birthday purge.

Richard came to young Locke with a very Professor X offering of an education at a schoolhouse for extremely special kids. The examination Richard gave Locke (and nosotros assume was not administered to Ben) is ane the current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, describes equally given to him when he was two years old. The 13th Dalai Lama died in 1933, the year Lhamo Thondup (Tenzin Gyatso) was built-in, and a retinue of Tibetan Buddhist monks set up out in search of his reincarnation. The idea is that once the Dalai Lama dies, his spirit would be reborn in some other individual, who is then sought out and trained in order to fulfill his highest capacities every bit a spiritual and politician.

The Tibetan Bardo Thodol (Book of the Dead) describes the process an private undergoes when they die and enter the afterlife. Someone who has sufficiently prepared his mind/concentration/soul will be able to avert the journey and catch the early exit to nirvana; otherwise, increasingly unnerving tests await the individual. How i lived life (i'southward karma), helps determine whether a person will be reborn as a human, animal, or in some sort of heaven or hell. The realm to be reborn into, particularly for a Dalai Lama, is the homo realm, as it provides the best environment to work towards enlightenment.

Sidenote: The friend of the real Richard Alpert, Timothy Leary, idea the Bardo Thodol was the best expression he'd found of the psychedelic experience; he, forth with Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert, wrote a kind of guidebook to psychedelics based on the Bardol Thodol called The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Volume of the Expressionless.

Two years afterward Thubten Gyatso died, his corpse nevertheless lying in-state, his head strangely inverse positions, and was found facing northeast rather than s. So the monks headed northeast, and after some other signs and omens, they came across petty Lhamo Thondup and gave him a item examination: They showed him a number of items, some of which belonged to the 13th Dalai Lama. If the male child recognized the items as his, that would be evidence that the Dalai Lama had been reborn. When they showed the boy the collection of items, he immediately claimed that items belonging to Thubten Gyatso were his, and that's how Lhamo Thondup became Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. That's just what the ageless Richard Alpert did with immature John Locke.

Sidenote: The Mystery Tales comic book Richard laid out had a sneaky clue with the floating city and the question 'What is the hole-and-corner of the mysterious "Hidden LAND?"' At the end of the episode, Locke reports that he's supposed to motion the island. How? Maybe Jonathan Swift tin help. In the third book of Gulliver'due south Travels, Gulliver finds a floating city, Laputa. Its inhabitants are quite educated in mathematics, astronomy and engineering science, and they brand their metropolis float through magnetism. They also consistently fail to put their knowledge to practical use, and end upwards in a war.

Nonetheless, Locke wasn't quite ready. Locke's namesake, the 17th century philosopher, wrote nearly how the heed and didactics in An Essay Apropos Human being Understanding (1690) and Some Thoughts Apropos Instruction (1693). He argued (subsequently Plato) that the mind was a blank slate, tabula rasa, and a kid's item aptitudes should be acknowledged and encouraged. The environs a child is exposed to would in big part decide the shape of that child's listen and how he forms and associates ideas. If little John Locke had not been raised in the insecurity of the foster care system, he may non have been preoccupied with asserting his physical strength over his mental forcefulness. If young Benjamin Linus had been raised past a less overbearing and abusive father, he may not take grown up to look for every exploitable angle that would do good him in any given state of affairs.

But even as a boy, Locke let his want overcome his reason, and afterward some deliberation over the items Alpert presents, Locke chose the sand (correctly), the compass (correctly), and the knife (incorrectly). Given Locke'south volition to physical vigorousness (despite his failure at it), the weapon may symbolize the antagonistic power that Locke wanted to identify with, whether or not he knew it belonged to him already. Alpert leaves rather angrily when Locke chooses incorrectly; he seems to know that Locke is indeed the person he's looking for, but perhaps Locke needed to demonstrate his true self on his own terms. It'southward interesting that on the isle, Locke is nearly never without his knife.

The item that young Locke passed over was a dusty tome called Book of Laws. There is no author given on the comprehend, and no identifying markers other than its being an old edition. Endeavor looking upward Volume of Laws in any database, and run across how many hits you go-there'southward almost no mode to narrow information technology down to whatsoever specific book, with whatever specific meaning relating back to Lost. The most common book with a title like that might be Aleister Crowley'southward Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of the Law), which he claimed was dictated to him by some kind of not-local consciousness named Aiwaz while he was in Cairo. Crowley was a late-Victorian-era British theosophist and occultist who was a member of a number of underground societies and esoteric orders (the Hermetic Order of the Gilt Dawn, Ordo Templi Orientis, A?A?, possibly a Freemason, and founder of the Abbey of Thelema). He was too an aristocrat and with racist tendencies who played upward to his media-forged image as the 'wickedest man in the world.' Through the occult, sexuality, and drug use, Crowley indulged in the very things that drove his buttoned-up gild into fits.

Contemporary theosophy isn't quite the dime-shop occultism generally presented in contemporary culture. It's a pantheistic wisdom tradition approach to spiritual evolution, sometimes with a heavy focus on consciousness, ritual and magic (or magick), and recruits tales of lost lands like Atlantis and Lemuria. Practitioners like Crowley were interested in assimilating every bit much knowledge from as many spiritual approaches as possible in order to forge a new esoteric system for their contemporary globe; theosophists embraced rather than rejected links across different traditions, and sometimes referred to themselves as scientific illuminists ? the motto Crowley adopted was "The method of scientific discipline ? the aim of organized religion." Theosophy and its cognates has a mixed history in the mod world, attracting some boggling people (Carl Jung, Mohandas K. Gandhi, West.B. Yeats ? who, incidentally, couldn't stand up Crowley) and abhorrent opportunists (some Nazis, Charlie Manson). It persists today in organizations similar the Rosicrucians and what's left of Crowley's own Thelema motility, and is somewhat expressed in Freemasonry, among other places.

The complicated symbols and rituals constitute in theosophical circles are non intended to exist the focus in themselves, just functions for accessing intention and gaining knowledge of the psyche or spirit. The ritual experience itself is then supposed to open a window into the inner cocky and betrayal its connexion to the greater earth (or something like that). In other words, the symbols themselves aren't the bespeak; the experience of working with and through the symbols is. The use of symbols to access maybe hidden noesis is nothing new to Lost or its audience; arguably, part of the function of these symbols is to generate interaction and discussion amongst the audition, not to notice some final meaning.

In 1904, Crowley was in Cairo, Egypt, and had been ritually invoking the falcon-headed Egyptian god Horus when his married woman became possessed and told him he would be contacted. (Notation that the god shares the same name as the dead wood-chopping mathematician.) Crowley followed his wife's instructions, and over three days, he was supposedly contacted by a representative of Horus named Aiwaz. Aiwaz dictated the Liber Al to Crowley, which he recorded through a kind of automatic writing. The book laid down the main precepts of Thelema (Greek for will), "Practise what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"; "Love is the constabulary, love under will"; and "In that location is no constabulary beyond Do what g wilt." This doesn't quite mean do whatever you want; Crowley tries to explain how each private's destiny (that fickle bitch) is influenced by that individual's by experiences, upbringing, and own nature ? which actually echoes the philosopher John Locke's argument regarding teaching and the association of ideas. According to Crowley, then, both Ben and Locke shouldn't refuse their respective histories and natures, just intensely employ them as a general guide to life (don't tell Locke what he tin't practice).

Liber Al describes how each age of 2,000 years is governed by a dissimilar star, or god. Showtime was Isis, the earth mother who gave ascent to matriarchal governments; and then was Osiris, the begetter who represented dearest, death, resurrection and patriarchal governments; at present, Crowley (or Aiwaz) argues, is the coming of Horus, kid of Isis and Osiris who represents "the individual as the unit of society" (which is why one needs to recognize one's own will). In his commentary, Crowley claims this age as already underway, and is marked past the neglect of sin, the loss of sexual inhibitions and the rise of bisexuality, and a drive towards progress without taking precautions to guard confronting larger fears that haunt civilizations (similar filling gulf declension wetlands that act as hurricane buffers, edifice on earthquake zones, and political blowback). The weak and humble will be crushed in this historic period, he says, in a kind of might-makes-correct move; autonomous societies will fail, and war volition take civilians besides soldiers. In some ways he was prescient, simply sort of in the fashion Nostradamus was.

Crowley prepare out to build a system around Liber Al, and connected communicating with esoteric emissaries from the other world. About xiv years after the Cairo incident, Crowley was visited by another beingness called Lam, who was invoked to go along what Aiwaz started. Hither's where things get more twisted up with Lost; Crowley did non refer to Lam much in his own work, but he did depict Lam's portrait for the frontispiece of Madame Blavatsky's 1919 book The Voice of the Silence, with this caption: "Lam is the Tibetan word for Way or Path, and Lama is He who Goeth, the specific title of the Gods of Egypt, the Treader of the Path, in Buddhistic phraseology. Its numerical value is 71, the number of this book." Lam was Crowley's Lama. What'due south more, theosophy had taken root in the The states by the late 19th century, and one of its more than famous adherents was 50. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, some other foundational text of Lost. His text has provided people of a mystical mindset many hours of symbolic scavenger-hunting enjoyment, which was not lost on the creators of the 1939 MGM flick. Many have noted the similarities between the names 'Aiwaz' and 'Oz,' also equally Crowley's drawing of Lam and Oz himself from the flick.

The Oz references have been prevalent throughout Lost for some time at present; just have Benjamin, who was both Henry Gale and the man backside the curtain. The final episodes of the 4th season, by the style, are titled "There's No Place Like Home." So through Locke's unchosen Book of Laws and Aleister Crowley'due south Book of the Law, we detect our way back to Horus/Horace, enacting one's volition, the concept of the Tibetan Lama, and The Magician of Oz.

Simply permit's try another book: Amongst other things, Lost is near colonization. The Others were the natives of the place, while the DHARMA Initiative played the role of colonizers, bringing the modern world to the wild identify. Somewhen colonizers become natives of a sort, others arrive in the position of colonizers, and a cycle of disharmonize and cooperation is revisited. I of the more well-known colonial efforts, at least from a Western perspective, was the Plymouth Colony of Massachusetts (1620-1691), famous for its cherry messages and its bloody state of war with the Wampanoag, Pokanoket, Narraganset, Pequot, and other tribes when the colony expanded also far into native territory.

The Plymouth Colony recorded its own legal guidelines in the 1636 Book of Laws, which was reprinted in 1658, 1672 and 1685. One of the arguments for this beingness the referenced text from "Cabin Fever" is that constabulary books tend to exist hefty; Liber Al is only around 20-some pages long, the book Richard produces is quite a fleck larger than that. Amidst other things, Book of Laws forbade settlers from acquiring state from whatever natives without prior permission from the General Court; the settlers traded with the natives, and often traded iron goods for land, but they knew if they moved too far into native territory, they risked squeezing out the natives and sparking incursions.

Which is what happened by 1675, when a Wampanoag leader came to ability who didn't trust the colonists. His name was Metacomet, just the settlers called him Male monarch Philip. Metacomet's father and brother had maintained a certain peace with the settlers for half a century. Afterward Metacomet's brother died under suspicious circumstances, Metacomet came to power and openly mistrusted of the colonists, including their penchant for converting the natives to Christianity. The curt of it: As the colonists expanded their territory, discussion got out that Metacomet may be planning to attack the edges of the newly-acquired state. The person who relayed the bulletin to the colonists, a native Christian convert who too advised Metacomet, was murdered before the claims could be checked out. Iii Wampanoags were convicted and later hanged.

In "The Hunting Political party," Tom addressed the "misunderstanding" between the Survivors and the Others: "Right hither in that location's a line. You cross that line, we go from misunderstanding to something else." Hanging the 3 Wampanoags was seen as an attack on native sovereignty, and ane of the get-go New World wars over colonization was on, Male monarch Philip's War. In terms of the numbers killed, it was proportionally 1 of the bloodiest wars in American history. In their book King Philip's State of war: The History and Legacy of America's Forgotten Disharmonize, Eric Schultz and Michael Touglas study that some 7 of every 8 Native Americans involved, and 35 of every 60 settlers, were killed in the one-year struggle. King Philip's State of war was effectively a colonial Purge.

By the way, guess who the Greek god of colonization is (hint: He has a processed bar).

(Hang in there; this is all coming back around to Keamy.)

Mirror-twinned counterparts are as prevalent in mythology as in Lost, and mythology forms a adept bargain of the the connective tissue in the Lost narrative. The Greek and Egyptian cultures interacted for ages, and certain figures from i pantheon shared characteristics with figures from the other pantheon, and over time the figures ofttimes merged. Simply as Ben and Locke are counterparts, mirroring each other'south aptitudes and weaknesses, Apollo had his own similar cognate in the Egyptian god Horus and his ain mirrored counterpart in the Greek god Dionysus.

Apollo was associated with the lord's day, club, harmony, and colonization ? colonization, from the point of view of the colonizer, is about forging an order that adheres to a item worldview. How Apollo becomes associated with a chocolate indulgence is anyone'due south gauge; it'southward Apollo'south counterpart Dionysus who represents indulgence. And simply equally Apollo has an Egyptian cognate in Horus, so does Dionysus in Horus's begetter Osiris. Both Dionysus and Osiris were emblems of resurrection, both had similar mystery cults that revolved effectually a sacrament, and the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus draws a number of other similarities, including their cultivation of vino. Osiris is to Horus as Dionysus is to Apollo; Crowley's Historic period of Horus, and so, is finer the Age of Apollo.

But for all the society and stability Apollo brings, Dionysus disrupts it through ecstasy and resurrection; Jack tries to be Apollonian and controlling, while Christian is more than Dionysian and won't stay dead; in fact, there seems to be a lot of something like resurrection going around, with Christian, Charlie and Claire, and certainly with Mikhail. This Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy can too be read forth narrative lines, coordinating entropy with mythology; the flashforward narrative time, heading towards order, would be Apollonian, while the island narrative time, heading towards disorder, would be Dionysian.

Apollo and Horus share one other coincidental link through the Roman poet Horace. As the counter to Dionysian excess, Apollo represented moderation; at his oracle at Delphi, ii inscriptions were seen on the walls, "Know Thyself" and the anti-Dionysian gold hateful, "Goose egg in Backlog." Horace was a flippant and ironic poet who liked to give advice in some of his work; he was famous for denying any afterlife, so i had to seize the day, but he deplored backlog, so if one is seizing the solar day, one should exercise it in moderation. Did I mention Horace played with irony? (Horace the poet may have denied an afterlife, but we have however to learn if Horace Goodspeed does.)

In his 2nd book of Odes, Horace demonstrates these positions in two concurrent poems to depressives, Ten and XI. In X, Licinius has been acting out, so Horace tells him "Steer not too boldly to the deep / Nor, fearing storms, by treacherous shore / Too closely creep." In other words, nothing in excess. In XI, however, Quintius is becoming a recluse due to his depressed state, and Horace tells him to get out there and drink upward "a life so simple" ? seize the solar day. Ode X would be good advice for Ben, and in the flashback Abaddon basically tells the wheelchair-ridden Locke what Horace tells Quintius; get out there and have a walkabout earlier you lose your chance.

The coordinates then far: the Dalai Lama, the Book of Laws, Aiwaz, Lam, Oz, Horus, Apollo, Dionysus, Osiris, and Horace (forthcoming: Ready, Cerberus, Anubis, Mercury, Mars, Mayans, dogs, birds, and private military companies). Of all these points, Horus may be the most complicated; he represented the daytime heaven, had a twin named Set who represented the dark sky, his optics were said to represent the sunday and the moon, and he existed in various forms long earlier Osiris. But over a few thousand years, Horus was assimilated into a pantheon shift where he became Osiris's son and Set's nephew. This shift occurs around the unification of two lands, Upper and Lower Egypt (upper=southern, lower=northern), which is allegorized in the battle between Set and Horus. Like to Jacob and Esau, and Ben and Widmore, Prepare challenged Osiris dominion over Upper Arab republic of egypt. But rather than make a bad bargain with Osiris (every bit Jacob did with Esau), Set murders him, tears his torso to pieces, and scatters the bits around the country. Skip ahead a flake, and Horus is raised in Lower Egypt past his now-mother Isis to avenge this murder, and in a battle with his uncle, Set injured Horus'southward left eye; that eye became representative of the phases of the moon, while his correct eye becomes a symbol of protection:

That might be worth keeping in listen when nosotros see the iconic shots of an eye opening (or of Mikhail's missing centre).

In the Egyptian pantheon, Horus's defeat of Fix represents the unification of the two parts of the state. We definitely accept a Horus figure on the island, a dead mathematician who repeats himself, but a Set figure may be upwards for grabs. But like the other gods, Set had a Greek counterpart, Typhon (from which we go 'draft'), and Typhon had a kid ? Cerberus, one of the names for Smokey as seen on the Swan Station blast door wall. In the shifting pantheon, Set is also the father of Anubis, guide of the expressionless and our guide to Keamy.

Anubis is the canine-headed god who guides the newly-dead through the underworld. Have we seen Vincent lately? Vincent seemed to recognize the newly-dead Christian in one of the mobisodes. But Anubis had a Greek analogue in Hermes/Mercury (the aforementioned), the messenger, trickster, thief, god of boundaries, travelers, luck, and half-sibling to Apollo. Mercury met the newly-dead and helped them over into the afterlife. His name is also the root for merchant and mercenary ? and we have our mercenary in Martin Keamy, the traveling death-messenger.

It's been pointed out hither and elsewhere that Keamy'due south final proper name is a homophone for a Mayan glyph for decease, Cimi. The name Martin as well derives from Mars, the god of war. Keamy is a quiet, treacherous killer; his cool, detached arroyo to dealing death echoes the by warlord Mr. Eko (who in some ways mirrored the Cormac McCarthy grapheme Approximate Holden from Blood Meridian). Another link dorsum to ancient Mesoamerican cultures comes by way of dogs; simply every bit the canine-headed Anubis (cognate of Mercury) guides people into the afterlife, the dogs themselves do the guiding in Mesoamerican mythologies. It could go interesting if Keamy ever meets Vincent.

Keamy'south tattoos have sparked some interweb chatter. The actor, Kevin Durand, came with the tattoos, simply we've already seen how Matthew Fox'due south pre-Lost tattoos were worked into Jack's biography. Durand had the bear claw/snake/compass tattoo at to the lowest degree by his 2007 role as an assassin in the film Smokin' Aces, and the interweb lore is that Kevin got the bird tattoo ? a Native American symbol he called it ? on his ain.

The discussion around the acquit hook/serpent/compass tat is that it bears an uncanny resemblance to the controversial private military machine visitor, Blackwater International; Keamy's tattoo has the colors reversed, a more than elaborate compass surrounding the bear claw, and of course the snake in the center (Ben has already mentioned Keamy's piece of work for mercenary organizations in Uganda).

If you search the web for aboriginal Native American thunderbird petroglyphs, you'll run into images that are pretty like to Keamy/Durand's bird tattoo, including some with the split tail. Merely the bird tattoo, could pose an interesting narrative possibility.

Keamy is beyond anything else a predator. The bird outline on his shoulder most closely resembles a swallow, because of the split tail. Swallows are hardly deadly, but one species of predatory raptor has a like tail, the consume-tailed kite. There are two branches of this species, one prevalent in Central and S America, and one found in Africa, including Republic of guatemala (where the Mayan come up from) and Uganda (where Keamy worked as a mercenary). Consider the motifs of twins, pairings, and counterparts: A 1997 study of Guatemalan swallow-tailed kites plant they only lay ii eggs at a fourth dimension, and the older, larger chichi ever kills its sibling. Will Keamy get a flashback/flashforward? If then, it will exist interesting to see if he had a sibling, and if he killed that sibling on his path to becoming expiry for hire.

Finally, "Cabin Fever" was an episode nearly how Locke was exceptionally special, peradventure with a capacity to out-lead Ben. At 1 point Ben thinks Locke psyched Hurley into continuing on through the jungle, but Locke denies it: "I'm non you." "Y'all're certainly non." (Of class nosotros take seen Locke pull a Ben Brain Bender when he got Sawyer to impale Cooper, much as Ben got Sayid to become a killer for him.) There have been three episodes about the exceptionality of certain figures: one on Walt (season one, "Special"), 1 on Ben (flavour iii, "The Human being Behind the Pall"), and one on Locke (flavor four, "Motel Fever"). Locke and Walt shared a particular connexion that isn't actually there between Ben and Locke (or presumably Ben and Walt). Narratively, "Motel Fever" and "Special" are linked as the just ii episodes where a person is hit past a car and survives, and they both happen to be parents (Michael and Emily). What's more, "Cabin Fever" was episode 11 of season four, 411; "Special" was episode 14 of season one, 114.

411 | 114

Even the episode numbers are mirror twins of each other.

We'll become an entirely new take on twins soon enough, when we find out more about the Orchid Station and how there were ii Dr. Ray'due south hanging effectually at the aforementioned time, one expressionless on the island and 1 on the freighter.

(A storm blew out power and satellite connexion on Thursday night, then I wasn't able to see the episode until late Friday/early Sat; I and mother nature apologize for the lateness.)
