THE INCIDENT
Episodes 5.16 & 5.17
A three-hour presentation of LOST always puts me in a tough place…really tough. At what time is it safe for me to start drinking my Dharma beer (warm) while still being certain I’m conscious enough for what is sure to be a dramatic and important ending to this season? Maybe now would be good. Shhhh, it’s on…
We see a man at work at a spinning wheel under a dancing firelight. He’s making a large tapestry which includes many, many threads he has put in place by his own hand—there’s a cool design on his rug, as well. Outside, at the site of the four-toed statue, he enjoys an old-school fish taco while watching a mighty sailing vessel (the Black Rock?) on the near horizon. Another man joins him, hatreds and threats are exchanged and we come to find that our thread-weaver is none other than Jacob.
Holy-freakin’-mo-ly.
