Lost Easter Eggs: "Cabin Fever"

TheEditor · 05-09-2008, 06:23 AM

I honestly don’t know if last night’s episode of Lost successfully explained everything or totally jumped the shark. Only time will tell, and the way the series finishes up will most likely allow us to judge the merits or lack thereof for “Cabin Fever.”

The fact that Richard Alpert and Matthew Abaddon both crossed paths with John Locke completely changes the way we must view his entire journey. This is the kind of revelation that will make repeat viewings of the entire series more compelling, like trying to piece together if Nina Myers being a mole actually made sense in the first season of 24.

What do you mean? John = Locke

I think she means Ben and Locke...which has been talked about 400 times today.

I think RAETTA meant Ben and John. And IMO they are not brothers physically. Spiritually (like Cain and Abel) maybe? But their mother's names being the same is intentionally trying to draw parallels.

I don't agree with the author about this may be the show "jumping the shark" if anything this was one of THE best episodes of lost in story telling, mythology, and introducing more unanswered questions. If this doesn't blow your mind and get you thinking about twent million other things, then you haven't been watching the show. Of course it is unexplained now why Alpert and Abbadon showed up, but I'm sure there is a reason and I'm sure it is amazing if you follow this show and its writers at all. So, this show has definitely not "jumped the shark"

I liked this episode a lot. They suggested the walk about to John. So this has to mean that they planned the plane crash all along. I was thinking that would be part of the whole story for Lost anyway, but I didn't expect it this season.

i like this episode too.

I don't believe for a second that the plane crash was planned. Only that Alpert and Abaddon understand and have faith in fate and the Island.
