That’s right, SG, study some languages!

This was a great episode. I really like the smoke monster. I wish there was one in real life.

“When young Rousseau asks in French for Ben to give the baby back, she uses the masculine.”

That is because the word for “baby” en francais is a masculine word. If you study languages, you come to understand that the gender of a word does not necessarily equate to the gender of the item/object/person being named.

Do you mean the ankh? (That was the necklace that caused a rift between Amy and Horace and that belonged to Amy’s dead husband.) Yeah, it looks like there’s an inverted ankh behind Anubis’s head. I’m not sure if the Egyptians put any significance into inverting symbols or not.

remember the amulet around baby ethans neck? or was it his mom’s neck? anyway– there’s a symbol behind the head of the jackal-god in the mural that looks just like it.

I like Rose and Bernard. While they aren’t, and have never been, on the A-list, I think it’s overly reductive to say that they’re just around for comic relief. During season 1, Rose’s steadfast belief that her husband was still alive was used to develop the faith vs. empiricism theme. Rose and Bernard’s reunion during season 2 was one of that season’s notable moments. Rose was healed on the island, just as Locke was, which suggests that she may have favor with Jacob/the island and that she has a role to play. Bernard was also a member of the survivor militia at the end of season 4.

I’m not sure about the Rose/Bernard=Eve/Adam theory. I think there’s an outside chance that Rose and Bernard took up with the Others/Hostile.

Cruse et al. have promised they won’t just kill Rose and Bernard off screen and tell us about it later. Besides the dude who plays Bernanrd is doing a play. So in time I believe we’ll get answers.

Jenny: those are good reasons.

Here’s my guess about Rose and Bernard: they somehow time-jumped into the distant past and became the “Adam and Eve” Jack found in the caves early in the show. How this happened, I don’t know.

Rose & Bernard were nice placeholders for the more mundane members of the plane. (Most of whom are now dead)

All the focus on the self-centered dysfunctional characters can blind us to what is going on. I’m sure they’ll reappear just as Faraday and Desmond will.

I wouldn’t say I hate Rose and Bernard – I just hate how they are used. They were essentially kept around to occasionally have their marital bickering used as really lame comic relief.
