LOST: Episode #5, More Questions & More Confirmations Than Answers

‘Down through the Rabbit Hole of Episode #5‘

Thanks to JYCH

This season seems like, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, more than any other season thus far.  That is, with all the Alice type Lostees floating through the various layers of time, and Locke, literally falling into the well, as though actually going down into some type of rabbit hole.

Things are getting quite twisted, and the flashes are speeding up.  It’s caused Charlotte to reach the boiling point of no return, and the others will do the same if Locke can’t get off the island and get the Oceanic Six to go back to the island, which doesn’t appear to be an easy task.

Are things headed into some type of dark abyss or maybe not?  It kind of seems like we’re dropping into some type of Trillion Dollar Bail Out Rabbit Hole in our so called reality these days.  I suppose we’ll be finding out sooner or later — either way.  In the meantime, I’ll make my list of what I learned in this episode…
