EW upon-further-reflection Recap
Including tonight, there are only six episodes left. I'm still unclear on how they can possibly wind this up; there's been precious little explanation even this late in the final season. If I was in the habit of carrying around worry beads, I'd be fingering them.
Well. Connections are finally being made in the Sideways universe: Sun's recognition of Locke on the gurney next to her own; Jack's sense that he might know Locke as he's about to operate on him.
Desmond telegraphed his manipulative plans to the audience when he insisted Claire go see his lawyer "friend," didn't he? And that scene when Claire reveals Christian was her father too really showcased Jack's acting ability, I thought. He managed to play stunned but not overcome.
The island universe is starting to make a little more sense too; at least Sawyer's goals are clear; I thought Claire came aboard the boat a little too easily, but maybe I underestimated Kate's powers of persuasion. Jack has apparently taken on the "Man of Faith" role that Locke held for so long, but then he's almost immediately blown up. I admit to wondering if there's anything sinister behind unLocke's "You're with me now." Could Jack have died in the explosion and come back to life as another of unLocke's minions? Surely not!
