LOST: Cabin Fever

"He wants us to move the island." MOVE THE ISLAND?! WTF? I freaking love this show. Last night's episode was pretty dang good. I could just be partial though because I love me some John Locke. I loved that we finally got to see Locke in the cabin. So much new information was thrown at us. What does it all mean?

Oh my poor little John, he was always being rejected. The island has wanted him there his whole life though. Isn't that why Alpert was in the hospital? Isn't that why he visits John with the test? It's why Mittelos Science camp in Portland wanted John. Abbadon is even the one who suggests the walkabout to Locke. The walkabout is what finally gets him on the island. The island finally wins. But why does the island want him there? To be the new leader, to be Ben's replacement? To protect it? Is Locke on the island because it's the one place he can finally be a superhero?

What happened to Claire?! Is she dead? It seems like the most logical explanation to me. I don't see how else she would be ok with just chillin' in Jacob's cabin with her deadbeat dad, especially without Aaron. She looked so calm and creepy. I've read a few interesting theories on what's going on with her. One is that she died when the house exploded, but her consciousness somehow (it's a complicated theory) kept her body alive so she could keep Aaron safe. Miles seemed so interested in her because she was dead, but neither she nor Sawyer knew it. I'm such a baby that I started crying when we saw her in the cabin. I don't want Claire to be dead! I love her. Then again I guess there's no point in Claire without Charlie. What do you think Claire in the cabin was all about?

Meanwhile back on the freighter, Michael got beat up some more. That's for killing Libby, you punk! The island is still protecting Michael though because he couldn't be shot. Someone needs to kill Keamy. That dude sucks. I think Frank has a plan and he's gonna take care of homicidal Keamy. How cool was it that Frank dropped the sat phone for them? I like that dude. I love that we got to see that one guy get Daniel's morse code message. This show is so perfectly planned out. It amazes me! Also thanks to the captain, Sayid is now off to save the day. We just can't figure out how he thinks he's going to fit anyone on that boat. No wonder only six people get off the island!

I love Hurley. As much as I dislike Ben, it was nice of Hurley to share his chocolate bar with him. You gotta love that dude. He also makes me laugh! "I'm not even in the front!" I loved this episode and can't wait to watch it again.

New questions:
* Can the island be moved? Is that one of the reasons no one could find it? And if it can be moved, how does Ben go back and forth?
* Which item was little Locke supposed to pick? Amanda says the comic book. I think so too. I mean Walt had a comic book and the comic is all about a hidden land.
* If Horace Goodspeed has been dead for 12 years, does that mean the purge occurred in 1992?
* Why did protocol B have a Dharma logo on it?
* When is Locke going to see Abbadon again? Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Being creepy looking doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad guy.
* Who hit John's pregnant mom? Was it intentional? Was it someone we know?

Next week: I don't know what it's called and I don't know who it's about. The preview looks like it might be another (groan) Kate episode. I'm also confused about how many more episodes we get. I know the season finale concludes on May 29th. I thought we were getting one hour of it one week and then two hours the next. Or are they stretching it out to three weeks? If anyone can tell me, I will love you forever!!
