I think it\'s interesting that the fish Jacob caught was a Red Herring.

i thought that the red herring doesn\'t actually exist. can lexington confirm this?
Definitely a good episode, but i feel a little unsatisfied. I have to watch it again before i can really add to this discussion.
i missed the first half hour... i need to watch it again too.
awesome episode though. sucks that we have to wait 9 damn months.
So...after reading the PT Lost thread I got this interesting nugget: Apparently the fish that Jacob was cutting up in the first scene was a Red Herring. For those unfamiliar with the term "red herring" here it is:
A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:
Topic A is under discussion.
Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A).
Topic A is abandoned.
So using this line of thinking, I think this is directed specifically about the time-travel aspect that was so prominent this season...I don\'t think time-travel really has anything to do with the central plot of LOST. I take that to mean this season of LOST was more of a distraction from what the first 4 seasons were getting at, specifically FAITH, FATE, and DESTINY...and how they all revolve around the others, losties, dharma, jacob, and the rest.
I think there are a lot more layers to this episode than I originally realized last night.
That\'s a good point. The time travel thing was the theme of the season, but definitely not the theme of the show.

And then Locke\'s dead body falls out of the casket.
Someone or something has taken the shape of John Locke, something as old as jacob and richard most likely. Smoke monster? Next season they are going to have to get historical on us, and tell us where jacob and alpert are from originally. "They\'re coming." We still don\'t know who the bad people are, though it appears the new Locke may be one of them.
Bernard and Rose suck. But I think they portray some kind of small significance.
Claire better have a cameo or something in season 6.
Kate always looks hot in the season finale\'s.
FYI, traslation of Ille qui nos omnes servabit - He who will save us all.
Bernard and Rose suck. But I think they portray some kind of small significance.
I\'m willing to bet that Rose and Bernard are the two bodies the Losties discover in the cave in the first season.

i\'m right with you on this one. as soon as we saw them last night, i was like "adam and eve!"

you need to see the beginning of the episode. jacob was talking to his nemesis in the first scene. he\'s the one who took the form of locke, and i\'m also assuming the smoke monster, yemi, christian, and alex. also in that first scene, jacob was dressed in white, and his nemesis in black.
i was actually jokingly making 24 references/parallels during the episode last night, but upon rewatch, Radzinsky actually shouts at his boys to "set up a perimeter"! :lol:
