Rubin Farr Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 great episode. loved all the red herrings, so my theory is: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Richard Alpert is some sort of Egyptian royalty, who has been on the island since they built the undergound "wheel" and possibly some of the above ground temples (although those look more South or Central American in design). i always thought he looked like he was wearing eyeliner, and some Egyptians wore it so regularly it was tattooed on permanently. the huge statue briefly glimpsed was clearly Egyptian in design; from the stance of the feet, to the ankh being held in the hand, and with 4 toes on the feet, probably one of the Egyptian gods although i don't know enough about their mythology to venture a guess. most obviously we had the introduction of the ankh necklace, which is intended to throw us off i'm sure knowing the producers of this show. overall, the time travel storyline is finally paying off, seeing Charlotte again was a great touch.

six Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Finally seeing the statue was cool, but yeah, kind of a boring episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Nah, thought it was a decent episode. I got all wet when I saw the statue, thinking that it looked a lot like the Egyptian God Anubis who was the God to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. Then I remembered the hieroglyphs in the hatch and I was like "aaah...!" even though I had no idea what the hell was going on. Then all of a sudden the ankh symbol showed up (did anyone notice if the statue was holding the Ankh symbol in its hand? If it did then it's definitely Anubis) around that guy's neck and then Richard showed up and he obviously doesn't get any older so if we're stepping into Egyptian mythology then that's just fine by me. EDIT: It's Anubis... fo' sho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest assegai Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Too much Juliet and no Kate is the recipe for a bad lost episode. Richard is always suave as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 worst episode so far. the ending was pure awful. did sawyer really need to explain about the 3 years thing? i think everyone got that from what horace said. "is 3 years long enough to get over someone?" end of scene. but no we're back into making tv for really dumb people (so saywer has to spend 5 minutes with a soft piano moment) who only care about romance or some dumb shit. kates back who cares. stop it!! thats the last we'll see of the statue probably. the time jumping has stopped so maybe we'll see the toes again. seems like a tease they put in and they don't really have anywhere to go with it so thats it. god the ending was painful. the way they all stood spread out around the van. sack th director, sack the writer. it was alway going to be a boring detail fillign in episode and it didnt disapoint. 2 weeks till next episode so next week i'm going to play soft piano for an hour and stare at a photo of kate fuck you lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 i liked this episode. more dharma stuff plz. clearly the ancient egyptians came from this island. they turned the wheel and found themselves in tunisia and walked east and came up to the nile and set up shop there. is alpert an ancient egyptian? he's starting to become a favourite character, suave as fuck indeed.

Squee Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hmmm... it could also be the statue of Tawaret Taweret became seen, very early in Egyptian history, as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. Her image could also be found on knives made from hippopotamus ivory, which would be used as wands in rituals to drive evil spirits away from mothers and children. But... the toes doesn't really look like anything human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awkwardsilence Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Oh wow, I really like the idea of, as Azatoth said, the ancient egyptians actually originating on the island. Is it just me though, or does the statue really look like Kate from behind? It's got the same body build, the same curviness and tone of the shoulders/arms. I mean, the more I look at it, it looks like Kate. And I'm thinking, now that we're seeing our favourite planecrash survivors as being an important element in the island's past, then why the hell couldn't it be Kate? I bet we'll be seeing more of that statue and the whole egyptian element later on in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, all the old Egyptian statues look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awkwardsilence Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm only half-serious, and yeah, I guess you're right. Here's a thought though: where in time and space are Sayid, Sun and Desmond? They're not with Locke and Ben at the crashed plane, and they did not teleport/timetravel and drop into the lagoon with Jack, Kate and Hurley.

GORDO Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 sayid and sun are probably in the same time as jack, kate and hurley, only somewhere else. locke and ben seem to be in the present, whenever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
