The Little Prince

Overall "The Litte Prince" was a decent episode. There was the big reveal that Jin survived the freightor explosion and then the even bigger reveal that he was rescued by Rousseau. We've been waiting since Season 1 for the powers-that-be to give her a flashback and this was definitely a neat way of doing it. Now we just have to cross our fingers and hope that they figure out a way to show us what exactly happened to her team and how they died. As far as the points cup is concerned we had some big gains and some big losses. Charlotte rose from the dead which definitely helped her and meanwhile,off-island, Hurley continued to be stupid which may end up disqualifying him this season. Richard still holds the points lead due to his advantage of being able to dish out Island secrets whenever he wants. But right behind him is the new and improved Sawyer. Killing Anthony Cooper at the end of Season 3 really changed him and now that he has buried his past he truly has become the new Island Hero. And now, with the introductions behind us, we can dive right into this week's standings.

    Charlotte:

  • Wasn't paddling as hard as everybody else in the boat: -2
    *Just want to throw in my two cents on Charlotte; Her being alive after her seizures doesn't make sense unless something else is going on. My two theories on this? 1. She's dead but nobody except Mile's knows this. I also think this is the case with Claire. 2. She is an Other like Mikhail so she was able to survive what looked like a killer seizure. Just like Mikhail survived an even worse seizure when he was thrown throw the sonic fence by Locke. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Net Gain/Loss: +98

  • Actually, that's probably a bad thing because that was probably the Oceanic 6 in that boat: -2 *
    Net Gain/Loss: +1
    Total Points: 106
    *I'm on board with people who think that the people in the boat that were chasing the time-jumpers were actually the Oceanic 6. It makes sense because they were in the "future" (the future from the time period of the time-jumpers). It was definitely +2005 and more than likely it was 2009. The Ajira Airline water bottle they found is the clue when trying to figure out what year it is. We can assume that it's 2009 or later because that airline didn't start flights until January 21, 2009. It would make sense that the O6 came back to the Island in a plane due to the fact Kate and Sawyer were building a runway when they were being held captive by The Others in Season 3. But of course this raises the question of why would the O6 be shooting the time-jumpers. My crazy answer to that would be that the only way to stop the time-skipping is to kill the time-jumpers. But who knows. Other theories on the mystery boat would be that the time-jumpers are actually chasing themselves. Eventually the time-skipping stops and they stumble upon their past selves who have jumped foward to this point. Maybe they don't realize who they're shooting at and they think that they are actually shooting more of Widemore's men. Sounds kinda possible. Another theory floating on the internets is that an Ajira Airlines flight crashed on the Island just like the Oceanic flight did back in 2004. When the Oceanic 6 returned to the Island they were unable to fix things properly so things kinda got "reset" and the Island crashed another plane and it will be up to those people to save the island. These new survivors would've have been shooting at the time-jumpers because they thought they were the Others. Sounds crazy but this is one of the many crazy theories floating around the net.
