My wife thought the same thing. Notice how they were holding hands (or handcuffed together)? It would also explain why the case was under the marshall/corpse’s seat.
I thought the same thing for a moment, too, but I think the male corpse was on the right, and the Marshall was sitting on the left (from his point of view).
Or Jack could have been lying…
Keep in mind on an airplane, you stash something under the seat in FRONT of you.
So, it could have been stashed under the seat in front of kate, i.e. under that man’s seat.
BUT, I thought that we heard Kate say that the marshall had to check the bag.
Kate did say that the marshal had to check the case with the guns, which makes sense. I could almost accept that a US marshal would be allowed to carry a case containing several handguns on a US domestic flight, but I really can’t imagine how the Australian authorities would have permitted this on an international flight. (On the other hand, he had a handgun in the first episode.)
The case fell out of the checked baggage and into the pond. Sometime later, whether seconds or minutes we don’t know and it doesn’t matter, the seat with the two people fell right in the same place, thus being on top of the previously checked baggage.
I wonder if the man and woman might not be the newlyweds that Claire spoke of in the big burning funeral. We don’t know that their bodies were there, just that she found some of their effects.
So what’s the consensus on Boone and Lock’s recent daytrips? Boone claimed they were looking for Claire, since he had to do something, but thinking about it now I think it’s more likely they’ve been exploring whatever it is they found in the floor.
The case location didn’t bother me much. Isn’t the luggage compartment beneath the seating area? ( I’ve never flown so I’m quite likely wrong) Big explosion, stuff falling, it seems entirely plausible that the seats might have ended up atop the case. However, I did :dubious: a bit over the state of the seatbelted corpses. Unless that water was completely devoid of life, it seems they should have been a LOT more picked over/eaten by the local fishies after a few weeks.
I just figured that the people in the lake must have been sitting directly in front of Kate and the Marshal, and that he had stowed his case under the seat in front of him. Of course it would be a bit odd that Kate and the Marshal ended up on the beach while the people right in front of them ended up in the lake, but wasn’t Kate pretty near the tail section?
What were the odds of Charlie’s guitar being overhead when he was with Locke?
We only saw Hurley-Hugo very briefly last night, but it seemed to me that the big guy may have dropped a few pounds. Which would be a good thing, both for the show and for the actor’s health.
So…does anyone else think Hurley’s slimming down a bit, or is it just me?
I’m not buying that Kate’s dad is the man she loved and killed. My guess is that she may feel responsible for the death of this man, but I don’t think it she killed him out right.
As far as the safety box is concerned, it wasn’t exactly in a Swiss bank. If the box owner was her dad and he’s now dead, couldn’t she just show a death certificate or something to the bank manager so she could get into the box? I would assume that the next of kin would have access to these things.*
I have never owned a safety box and know nothing of these things so my assumption of who can open a safety box may be totally off.
I can’t remember if this sort of thing is supposed to be spoilered, so I will.
I thought it was weird they had used a case called Halliburton so I decided to go to their website. Turns out they make camera cases. Didn’t Kate tell the bank manager she was a photographer? Could the guns be the ones in the robbery?
This was a weak episode to me for a couple of reasons:
-
We just found out about the metal door as the big cliffhanger for the last episode, then we spend several weeks waiting for a new episode, and so finally we find out…nothing. We spend an hour basically pretending the big discovery of the last show didn’t happen. On a related but ancillary note, we also ignore the fact that a mysterious infiltrator just kidnapped a woman and they’re still unaccounted for.
-
Kate’s story had potential, staging a bank robbery to get at a bank deposit box, multiple deceits of Sawyer and Jack to get at the case, interesting, must be something super important in there. And the big reveal is…a toy airplane. What a letdown. Maybe that toy airplane will turn out to be super important later, but right now it’s a big “so what”. Much ado about nothing.
My thoughts about Locke have changed a lot since the series premiere, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. He’s got a very clear agenda and strong reasons not to want to leave this island. I wouldn’t trust him if I were on there now.
Just an off-the-wall idea, but the fact that “the man [she] loved” had a toy airplane as an apparent prize possession suggests that he may have been associated with the airline industry. Perhaps he was even a pilot. Kate was right there when the pilot of flight 815 was killed–maybe he was the man she loved and somehow Kate had something directly to do with his death, a connection we haven’t learned about yet.
So, basically Jack & Sawyer spent the whole show trying to get into Kate’s box? Kate spent the whole show leading them on with lies, manipulations & flirting. She got Jack to pretty much forsake whatever oaths he took as a doctor, and go Dr. Mangele on Sawyer (again). Then, when Jack finally wins the key to Kate’s box, and gets a good look in there, finds it less than satisfying and in fact, Kate is still holding something back from him.
Tired old story. I’m hoping Kate is better than that, and Jack & Sawyer aren’t so completely stupid. Actually, I think Sawyer came out of this episode the much better person. In fact, I think Sawyer actually comes out of most of these episodes the better man.
Are we sure that the envelope in the vault contained the airplane? I know that’s what we’re supposed to believe…
Boy did those robbers have a lot of time to rob that bank! Even if none of the tellers tripped the silent alarm, surely a customer coming into the bank would have called the cops. Geesh.
“That fish movie that was computer generated.” Can we not say “Finding Nemo” without paying royalties?
True, we did see her sleight-of-hand skill earlier. She certainly could have pulled a switch with the envelope and pocketed whatever was really in there. But I don’t know, she was playing with the airplane later, looking at it sadly. So my bet is that yes, it’s the airplane she wanted. I still think it’s important that it was an army plane.
I can’t wait to see the next Locke development. Not enough of him in this episode, dammit.
Did the French release of Finding Nemo have “La Mer” over the end titles? I just took it as a reference to a Finding-Nemo-like children’s film.
Of course Locke has a clear agenda for not wanting to leave the island, HE CAN WALK while he is on there.
Perhaps he believes (and rightly so) that if a ship comes for them, he will suddenly be confined to a wheelchair again. Combine that with the fact that he is living the adventure that he so badly wanted to, I can see why he would be in no hurry to leave.
