		<description><![CDATA[More on the Moses-Jack connection...

http://www.blog.ashleylangford.com/archives/2006/08/lost_quiz.html


9. In &quot;White Rabbit,&quot; who discovered caves with a fresh water supply?

Answer:

9. Jack. Later, he tells the group: &quot;Every man for himself is not going to work. It&#039;s time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we&#039;re going to survive here. Now, I found water. Fresh water, up in the valley. I&#039;ll take a group in at first light. If you don&#039;t wanna come, then find another way to contribute. Last week, most of us were strangers. But we&#039;re all here now. And God knows how long we&#039;re gonna be here. But if we can&#039;t live together, we&#039;re gonna die alone.&quot; 

The LORD answered Moses, &quot;Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.&quot; So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the LORD saying, &quot;Is the LORD among us or not?&quot; (Exodus 17:5-7)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Funny, I thought that Asian actress was Japanese rather than Chinese.  (She was in the Crow as well which is where I recalled her from)  So was Jack&#039;s location supposed to be China or Thailand?  I thought it was supposed to be Thailand but now I don&#039;t know.

Regarding Jack&#039;s tatoo.  (Which was pretty interesting even if this episode wasn&#039;t as great as the last few)  I think the idea is that Jack is going to become a leader to the Others as time goes on.  (That&#039;s what both my wife and I think)  The literal idea of the tatoo was obviously a warning about Jack trying to engage in the sacred rite to those Asian people (whose nationality now really confuse me).  I think the meaning Jack took was what the girl told him.  (i.e. his leadership and loneliness - that is he is intrinsically alien to the people he is with)

I don&#039;t trust Juliett despite the sympathetic back story we got in the opener for this subseason.  I think Ben warned Jack about this and was being sincere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Anyone notice that the pulpit in the room where Juliet was sitting on trial bore the Dharma logo? ThatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s one of the clearer Others-Dharma connections weÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ve seen, I think.&quot;

Sort of.  It was the DHARMA logo for the Hydra Station, so it was probably part of the existing facilities when the Others took it over.  It&#039;s not clear exactly what the connection between the Others and DHARMA/Hanso is, just that there is a connection.  The writers have promised us that we&#039;ll know a little bit more about the nature of that connection within the next few episodes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I liked the episode but agree that it was not the best one of this season. However, I found some things worth noting. I sense foreshadowing that Jack will become the leader of the Others. Also of interest is the whole &quot;stranger in a strange land&quot; Moses thing. In the preview of the next episode we see that the Others release their captives (the ones taken at night in the jungle), and I wonder if Jack is going to have a &quot;let my people go!&quot; moment in the next episode. Is there going to be a Schindler-Amon sit down discussing the value of the captives?

I agree that the flashback was boring. Maybe I&#039;m not well versed on Thai culture, but I don&#039;t understand the significance of the tattoo.]]></description>
