LOST Recap - Season 5 Episode 3 "Jughead"

This episode was Desmond-centric off island.  Desmond is seen running frantically looking for a doctor in a flashback of Penny having a baby, whose name is Charlie!  (Awe)  Then we move to normal future time and Desmond is talking about a special island, the UK.  Penny spoils the fun about the parts that Desmond was leaving out; like when he broke her heart.  She says that her father is a very dangerous man. 

3 freighter folk and 2 log carrying guys, and the log carrying guys die oh course.  Charlotte is getting worse.  Daniel is stepping being a leader.  Myles sees a trip wire and these guys get blow up.  How are people dying back in the 50s not affecting the future?  Elli comes out of the jungle with all of her people and says something that it sounds like she's saying "you again?", but it seems that she was referring to the US army.

Desmond off island promises that this mission is a one day thing and that it will be earlier.  Penny wants him to promise that he'll never go back to the island, and he basically says why would want to go back.

Daniel is the leader for real now, very smart in dealing with "The Others."  Locke examines that gun and says that the old gun looks new.  Juliet speaks Latin as do they, because they're others.  The Others are taking the the freighter folks and Myles has the flash of the 4 US soldiers dying three with gun shots and 1 through radiation.  They get the to MASH looking army camp, and Richard Alpert is their leader.  Faraday works well with Richard, he plays the part of the US army.

Desmond can't find any info about Faraday, but his stuff is still in his old lab.  Desmond talks to some weird guy after finding the ray, the maze and some other junk.  The crazy janitor tells him to forget about Faraday and says something cryptic about something that Daniel did to a girl.

The freighter folk are still being held by the Others and they are discussing that they need to play along with the fact that the Others think that they are US Army people.  Faraday convinces Alpert that he will not detonate the bomb, because he loves Charlotte. 

Juliet, Sawyer and Locke are carrying their prisoners through the jungle.  Jones snaps the guys neck that Juliet is talking to.  Locke does not shot the guy, but Sawyer tries to shot him and misses.  The others runs away.

Desmond is looking for Teresa Spencer, apparently the lady in the photo that the creepy janitor was talking.  Desmond meets her sister and she lets him in when he mentions Faraday.  The woman is apparently is jumping through time, but has not died and perhaps her sister is her constant.  She is trapped, perhaps.  Daniel left her in that state and Charles Whidmore has helped her ever since.

Faraday and Charlotte have a moment, because he's admitted his love for her.  Richard says that the US army had set up camp and that they had to kill them, and that he was taking orders.  The Other that got away runs into camp and Richard asks if he was followed, but he thinks that he couldn't be tracked by the old man especially since he doesn't know the island like he does.

Juliet and Locke have a little conversation about Richard Alpert, and how old he is.  Locke leaves them behind to go meet with Alpert, while Sawyer and Juliet go to save Faraday.

Faraday is taken out by Elli to check on the bomb, which is hanging precariously and he finds a link.   He talks to her and tells her that its dangerous and that they need to bury it in lead and cement.  He does tell her that he is from the future.  I think that's talking about Swan Station.  We don't know where they buried it at this point. 

Desmond goes to see Whidmore and confronts him about Faraday and his mother.  Mrs. Hawkins is Daniel's mom it definitely seems.  Whidmore tries to warn Desmond to stay away and hide.

John Locke comes into camp looking for Alpert, and says that "Jacob sent me."  We find out that Jones is Whidmore, Charles Whidmore.

Desmond goes back to the boat with Penny and he lies to her, but she knows and they decide to go to LA

John tells Richard about who he is and that he meets Richard in later.  Richard tells him that it is 1954 - May 20, 1956 is Locke's birthday and John tells him to go look him up.  Locke heard the time shift noise, and everything disappears.  It looks like Charlotte is getting worse and perhaps going to die soon.  LOST

LOST: The Compass Time Travel Paradox - BuddyTV

The season 5 premiere of Lost brilliantly introduced time travel as a major component of the storytelling. The people left behind on the Island are randomly jumping through time. There’s a mystery about whether the points in time they jump to is random or pre-ordained, but other rules have been established.

Dr. Marvin Candle and Daniel Faraday both explained that people can’t change the past, and that any attempts to do so will fail. However, Faraday also revealed that, for unknown reasons, Desmond is special and immune from this rule.

My bigger question is trying to understand what jumps. Obviously the survivors and their clothes jump, but people like Richard Alpert don’t. The Zodiac made the jump, but Juliet and Sawyer assumed this was because it was being used at the time. Now, however, we’ve seen several time jumps and the Zodiac, even when it’s not in use, still jumps with them.

However, this does not seem to be the case for everything. In one scene, Richard Alpert gave John Locke a compass, telling him that the next time they meet, he should return it. Locke time jumps, and he still has the compass, meaning it could jump with him. Similarly, the bullet in John’s leg jumped as well.

TVGuide's Top Moments of the Week

LOST is mentioned a couple of times, so check out the entire articles, but here's the number one moment of the week according to TVGuide.com.

1. Best Lost Moment: We know, you're all gonna say it was the shirtless Sawyer, or Sayid's fight in the kitchen, or Faraday and Desmond meeting somewhere in time, but we're going with the quiet conversation when Hurley explains the entire history of the show to his mom, and instead of having him recommitted, she just says, "I believe you. I don't understand you, but I believe you." That's what moms are for, right? Of course, this is before Hurley knows enough to explain to her that the island is now unmoored, flashing through time. No man is an island, and no island a man, but can't the island get a constant? Watch the whole episode on our Online Video Guide.

'Lost' Interview with Producers

The 'Lost' season premiere: Timeless | The Watcher

The 'Lost' season premiere: Timeless

The post below discusses Wednesday's two-hour Season 5 premiere of “Lost.” There’s some new information from executive producer Damon Lindelof about things that occurred in the season premiere, the complete versions of answers to some questions I had to trim from this recent interview with Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse, and some thoughts of my own about the episode.

It’s probably best if you’ve seen the two season premiere episodes that aired Wednesday, “Because You Left” and “The Lie,” before proceeding.

Before we get down to business, here is a link to the funniest "Lost" recap ever at the Throwing Things site. Additional links to recent "Lost" stories are here. I'll try to add more links to the end of this item throughout Thursday.

Here are a couple of questions I had after watching the season premiere, and Lindelof’s answers to them:

We saw the island skipping through time in the season premiere -- is it going to stick with a few time frames, or keep traveling a lot in time? Will that aspect of things get toned down a little?

Lindelof: All we can say is, whatever convention we’re using in the premiere episodes -- nothing in the show is season-long.

There are actually sort of three acts to the season. The first act is the first seven episodes, the second act is eight through 13, and the final act is 14 though 17.

Every time that you think that the show has settled into, “Oh, is this all about the Oceanic 6 trying to get back to the island and the island is skipping through time,” it changes. But we don’t want to tell you how it changes or what frequency it changes. All we can say is, there are a lot of twists and turns this year.

The question that bothered me most, or gave me the biggest headache, in the season premiere had to do with Faraday knocking on the door of the hatch. Desmond answers the door and they talk. How come Desmond doesn’t remember that encounter the whole time? How come he doesn’t recall that encounter at the hatch door with Faraday from the time it happened up to and including when we see him in the season premiere, which is years later? Why wasn’t that incident a memory for him?

Lindelof: A) That’s a very good question to be asking, and certainly not one that we ignore. B) Listen carefully what Faraday is saying to Desmond, in terms of why he believes this information he’s telling Desmond is going to transfer.

Finally, something happened to Desmond way back at the end of the second season of the show, something incredibly significant. Which imbues him with a certain power, for lack of a better word, that nobody else on the show has, and that was demonstrated regularly throughout Season 3, in terms of what happened to him at the end of Season 2. This makes him a bit of a wild card.

What we would advise you, and the fans whose heads are hurting, is to say, if you apply common sense rules to Desmond’s memory and cognition as it moves through the show, you will drive yourself crazy. But if you fundamentally accept that his consciousness can bop around in time, and where it lands is more an aggregate of destiny rather than logic, you will be able to sleep a lot better.

Here are the complete answers to some responses that were trimmed when I first posted this interview with executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

We’re told that bad things happen once the Oceanic 6 left the island. When will you get into that? Is that also Season 6 territory?

Cuse: Part of it unfolds this season, part of it unfolds next season. ... We were talking before about keeping the show on a character level, that’s really what it comes down to. Yeah, the island is skipping through time, or our characters are, but what are the consequences of that for them in terms of their survival, in terms of their relationships, in terms of whatever their ultimate destiny with the island is? Those are the pertinent questions.

I just wanted to ask you a lightning round of quick questions, if I could, about various characters this season. Pierre Chang/Marvin Candle -- is he around this season?

Lindelof: All we’re willing to say is that the season premiere is not the only time that he appears in the season. We’re showing you that scene for a reason, and in the spirit of what the show does, sometimes we show you a scene, and you think understand the context of that scene, but once you watch [a version of it] again a year later, it has an entirely different meaning. We will be seeing Dr. Chang again.

"The new format of Lost is totally freaking confusing. And yet…not at all.

As you fans will see when the series returns tonight to ABC for season five, the island is 'skipping' through time, backward and forward, which makes things interesting, to say the least. But still, the good news is that Lost won't lose you. Or at least not for long.

So how did executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof pull off what is perhaps the most convoluted format for a TV series ever without completely losing the fans?

I just got off the phone with the Damon and Carlton, who explained their game plan for season five and set the record straight on who is really dead…

I just talked to your good friend Michael Emerson last week, and he said that there will be flash-forwards, flashbacks and 'flash-presents.' What the heck is a flash-present?
Damon Lindelof: Wait. I think we’re having one right now.

Are we?
DL: Is it the present? It is!

Stop. You just love messing with my mind.
Carlton Cuse: You know, time is a really relative thing. We basically didn’t want to lock ourselves into one way of storytelling, so we have characters off the island that are trying to get back to the island; we have characters t"

"Why there is a dead Pakistani on my couch?" —Hurley's mom

Easter Eggs

• Did you catch Marvin Candle's reference to the hostile indigenous population? Do you think there is any relation to the people that Desmond's hatchmate referred to as the hostiles? And how the heck do they fit into the matrix of the Island ghosts, Jacob, the whisperers, forever-young Richard Alpert, Dharma and the Others? This show has explained a lot by this point, but the anthropology of the Island still makes no sense!
• In Papa Hurley's sitting room, the voice on the TV saying "Previously on Exposé..." was none other than executive producer Carlton Cuse. Maybe he's trying out a new career path in voiceover work?
