Season Six, Episode 11

Ding dong Alanna's dead ... thank God. She was as annoying as Anna Lucia.

My thoughts for tonight's episode: Is Hurley the new Alanna? It seems to be his mission to save everyone. And that, too, was Alanna's mission. And clearly, as Ben pointed out, now that Hurley is on the field, they no longer needed Alanna.

Is Desmond the new Jacob? There's def. a parallel where he is interfering in our LOSTees lives, case in point: Charlie and Hurley. And Locke HATES him (ie throwing him down the well), so that makes yet another point for my case. It doesn't, however, explain why Jack was shown what he was shown in the mirror, nor does it explain why Locke had such a distasty welcome for him at the end of the show. Maybe Jack was the front runner because Desmond didn't come back.

Answers we got tonight: The whispers are voices of those who wronged on the island and cannot leave. Interesting. How many eons worth of people are there that cannot leave? That's a lot of whispers.

Hurley was never in the mental institution in LA X life.

Michael is def. dead.

The tally for those who can remember the island pre-LA X moves up and now includes Libby. She has a full grasp of the island, not just little glimpses like Farraday. Does that mean the more out of touch you are with "parallel" reality, the more in touch you are with the island?

So why did Desmond run Locke over with his car? David says its because he remembers Locke throwing him down the well. I think, maybe, some of Easu's evil is left in this LA X Locke and Desmond is trying to kill the evil. Or maybe by running him over, he is giving him his legs back. It's the one thing that he should have in this new LA X life, the happy-go-lucky life. And he did get them back by surviving a plane crash last time, so who knows.

So what was in the bag that Hurley snagged from Alanna? Jacob's ashes, of course. And David thinks Hurley is interested in talking to Locke because he knows if he has the bag of Jacob's ashes, he can make one of those circles, get in it and be protected. We'll see.

Final thought: David has renamed new Sayid "Zayid"—as in zombie Sayid. Fitting.
