Well, Faux Mom Allison Janney instructed her boys not to ask questions as they only lead to more questions. After this episode I came away with, you got it, more questions.
1. If FM made it so the boys couldn't hurt each other, how could Jacob knock out and beat up MIB and send him into the Golden Light?
2. What is the time frame for this....? Real Mom, aka Claudia, was speaking Latin... so is this before the fall of the Roman Empire?
2A. Where IS the Island? We know it moves...why assume it's in the Pacific Ocean so far back in time...perhaps it started out in the Atlantic...or the Mediterranean - and yes, the thought "Atlantis" crossed my mind. Maybe Atlantis didn't sink..it moved.
2B. Where is the Statue? And if the Statue doesn't exist yet did Jacob build it to replace his former home, now the "tomb" for his FM and brother? AND if he built it how would he know of an Egyptian goddess if he never left the Island?
3. Which leads to when did Jacob discover he COULD leave the Island? (I have a note the FM told both boys they could never leave. So what would keep them from going... or was it another lie to KEEP them from leaving.) We know he gets out to touch potential candidates... like to Korea for the Kwon wedding.
4. Young MIB could see his dead REAL Mom... is there any connection to Hurley having the ability to see Dead People?
5. Is the Temple pool fed by the waters of the Golden Light Stream?
I haven't had time to read any recaps yet except for the Washington Post ladies. They are the ones who said that Real Mom's name is Claudia. I don't remember hearing that...but they did confirm that we never got a name for BIB/MIB, which leads me to yet another question:
6. Why didn't she name him...does it tie to her very strange look when she saw Baby #2? I thought maybe it was something to do with the afterbirth that was still on him (Jacob was all nice and clean) when she laid him next to Jacob. But then....
7. If something troubled her, why did she seem to favor BIB over Jacob? She calls him special, leaves the game for him, etc. Is it that he figures things out...is too smart for her, is as good a liar as she is so in the end she can't control him?
Wow, talk about Mommy Issues....this Island is not Family Friendly to say the least. Well, I am all muddled over this one... And Yes, I admit that, like everyone, I was wrong about Adam and Eve. That was the corker of the episode. For all the betrayal and heartbreak Jacob still seemed to understand the family bonds and love... and loss. I wish we had gotten to see him in the days after that scene...what decisions he made on how to live, how to go on while so alone. How did he discover his "powers" to bring people to the Island, to grant life, and again, how to leave and return.
So many more questions...so little time left.
