Brighter images

I'm going to be experimenting with lighting or brightening images caps of really dark scenes. Let me know if this works or is the wrong approach as we go forward.

Thanks

5.6 - 316

Inside The Lamp Post Station.


























This whole situation is so similar to the Stephen King concept of ka-tet that it would be wrong not to mention the fantastic Dark Tower series.

No offense to Daniel's math accomplishments, but this cool pendulum concept started with Jean Bernard Leon Foucault. Read all about it ... it's pretty neat.


Bloody Phone Calls.






If for nothing else, you really have to admire Ben's ability to take a beating. It appears to me that these wounds have something to do with Ben's retrieval of the mystery package from 5.2 and/or something to do with Sayid.


Cargo And Cold Storage.




Locke has to play Christian Shephard, down to wearing his shoes, in order to make it back to the island.


Captured?


Sayid is the new Kate, boarding the plane as an apparent prisoner.


Interesting Reading.


Hurley is reading the work of a storyteller who is highly influential to the world of "Lost." Click to learn more about Brian K. Vaughan and his work, "Y - The Last Man."


Take A Flight.
















It's interesting to see the pattern of injuries to Ben's face. I have a feeling that they are related to Sayid's apprehension...

If you are interesting in learning more about Ben's book, James Joyce's "Ulysses," click away on the title itself.


Jin's New Job.






Jin works (worked?) for Dharma? What's his task, and how did he know to show up there at that time?

5.5 - This Place Is Death

Smoking Kills!
















Smokey is back! What fun..... An island security system, hiding under a mysterious temple-looking thing.


"Temple" And Glyphs.










These markings look a lot like those on the old hatch timer ....


The Beach O' Death.








Jin stumbles upon the death camp on the beach. Notice the music box Sayid ends up fixing, and the box of explosives matches those from the Black Rock (1.24 "Exodus, Part 2"). Remember: Danielle said it was on the way back from the Black Rock that they started to show signs of infection.


Down In A Hole.














Juliet's remark and the rapid time shift was a good comic-relief element. Most enjoyable.

So this whole course of events leads me closer to believing that Dr. Shephard isn't Jacob. While Christan may be a "face" or "incarnation" of the entity sometimes known as Jacob, his comment about "say hello" to my son leads me to think something else is going on here.


Funny Looks And A Sort Of Reunion.






Ben's look here is pretty funny and may be insightful. I feel as though he is somewhat surprised that Desmond identifies the Hawking lady as Daniel's mother. Or is he just surprised that Desmond is there at all? Either way, it's interesting....
