Woah - how is Patchy in a Sun/Jin flashback? Especially this one? Mmmmmaybe he's not? Color me intruiged!
Patchy faked his own death. That, or the "jump the shark" moment is that people do come back to life! :)
I think the Desmond thing is probably going to be Juliet saving that Naomi chicks life. It makes sense.
Mikhail is the 'unlikely nemesis' Desmond allows to save Naomi, because he's supposed to be dead. That's my theory.
If Patchy is really in this episode it can't be in the flashback. Damon and Carlton hinted in two recent podcasts that Patchy may not really be dead. So I'm thinking he's back in this episode (either that or the real Patchy shows up, since there was also ecidence that this Patchy was an imposter). So my questions is, what if the "unlikely nemesis" and the "mysterious new island inhabitant" are Naomi and Patchy. And if that's the case... then which is which?
A unlikely nemesis would hardly be Patchy, seems like a very likely one if he were alive.
I reckon its not hard for him to get somewhere in Jin/Sun's flashbacks due to his background.
Mikhail is back from the dead!! Was it me or did Juliet turn the dial right up from preventing Smokie from entering Othersville? if thats the case then I can see why Mikhail isn't dead. & I am very certain he won't appear in Sun/Jin's flashback.
Desmond allows an unlikely nemesis to help save the life of a new, mysterious island inhabitant... my guess is Mikhail as he's been on the island for a while now!!
Great article Dark!!
Patchy is not really Desmond's nemesis. To be someone's nemesis, you would probably need to at least have knowledge of someone's existence. As far as I know, Desmond has no idea that Patchy even exists. He was not there in "?" when he was seen on the CCTV, and he was not there on the rescue mission when we met him in "Enter 77". Those on the mission haven't returned to the beach, so the Losties still don't know that the Flame was ever there. With all of this in mind, how could Patchy be Desmond's nemesis?
I thought Locke won't be back til episode 19? Oh well!!
MIKHAIL? 0_o
Biglew, Desmond does know he exists. Desmond was with the group who saw Mikhail on the Pearl monitor in episode 5, 'The Cost of Living."
Desmond saw Mikhail on the monitors in the Pearl (I think). But that would hardly qualify him as a nemesis unless he knew him on-island before. But this being a Jin/Sun flashback, we wouldn't get any Desmond/Mikhail flashbacks.
Hmm. Either Desmond meets up with Mikhail in one of his flashforwards or the nemesis is Charlie, given that Desmond has to keep saving Charlie.
If Patchy is really in this episode it can't be in the flashback.
Why not?
On the nemesis front, it's said that Desmond's nemesis is "unlikely." Perhaps someone who wouldn't ordinarily be a nemesis? Maybe Jack has suddenly become Desmond's "nemesis."
I thought it looked like Desmond recognised Patchy when he saw him on the monitors, so he could be his Nemesis (this could be shown in Desmonds flashbacks in the episode before). Don't think he faked his death though, so if not that, then what? Maybe he HAS been brought back to life by the island (Which gives me hope that Nikki will be back).
He looked pretty damn dead. Definitely must have something to do with the flashback. He claimed to have known something about Locke, maybe he lost his eye after pissing off Mr. Paik. Definately raises my interest, he's a cool character, even if dead.
Patchy has been on the island since 1993 (aside from being a DHARMA employee, everything he told the Losties was legit, the writers confirmed that). Unless Jin's flashback is before 1993 (highly unlikely since a younger Jin is not listed amongst the cast list and Mr. Paik is listed whom Jin only know for a brief while before marrying Sun) then Mikhail is not in the flashback (not to mention given what we know about his background, it doesn't make much sense for Mikhail to be in Korea.)
The writers have hinted he survived. Mikhail is alive.
Kitsis and Horowitz!? Again!? They aren't terrible writers or anything but I think Drew Goddard, Jeff Pinkner, Elizabeth Sarnoff, or Christina M. Kim would be better suited to write this one.
EK and AH have written 4 episodes together this season! Damon and Carlton have written 2 together! However, they'll probably write episode 20 or 21 and the finale so that will be 5.
mabye desmond and patchy knew eachother before the plane crashed but on the island. Afterall aren't there tunnels from the flame to the swan and, to all stations in fact. mabye patchy was radzinsky who kelvin kept mentioning in season 2 finale. after all radzinsky had an eyepatch presumably cos he put the second half of the orientation in the arrow and a glass eye was found there. however, if locke is appearing then mabye he is the nemesis. mabyeon the trek they will encounter the others who are going to new otherton. or mabye the nemisis will be charlie, or Hurley! or baby aaron! or vincent the dog!

Good point but . . . the Others are, or were, able to leave the island and come back. We already know that Ethan and Richard Alpert did. So it's no stretch to have Mikhail appear in one of the Losties' flashbacks.
Desmond couldn't have met Mikhail on the island because he never left the Swan except when he killed Inman.
not gonna lie, if patchy isn't dead, i'm gonna be pretty pissed . idk why i just dont think its realistic to have blood pouring out of your ears and then you live ?
but of course, he could be in a flashback, which would be crazy ..
maybe patchy's the father of sun's baby ??
nahh .
My only problem with Patchy "faking his own death" or "not really being dead" is that the way that we saw jhim die was pretty damn convincing. I'm pretty sure that he couldn't fake foaming at the mouth and spontaneous fountains of neck blood all that easily. Call me crazy, but I feel that would take a bit mroe effort than a bottle of Dharma brand theatrical glue....e.e
Billy,
I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that Mikhail isn't Radzinski.
Amanda,
In one of the podcasts, one of the execs hinted that the sonic barrier thingy might not have been turned on to full power. So Mikhail didn't fake his own death so much as the rescue party mistook him getting knocked out as him being dead.
Smokey is the father of Sun's baby. He did this while taking the form of Jin. --- Just my crackpot theory. :)
....he looked pretty dead o.o;
I listened to that podcast, but...I just don't think there's a way that they could pull it off. Its okay, though, because I have ultimate faith in Damelton....<3
howdy all i think we sure could see patchy in a flashback put it will be on island
He was the surveillance dude as far as we know right. There could be a scene of patchy talking to the others
about the 815 mmmmm they seem too know a lot mabey there was a conversation about the others
and patch was part of it
Jae Lee isn't in the episode, it seems like he isn't the father.
Suprising things: Locke and Mikhail. I thought Locke would return in 319 or so. And I thought the russian was dead (he surely looked like that :?)
That may be an on-island flashback. Or Locke and Mikhail will both appear in Sun's and Jin's past.
elanor: the cast is always given like this before an episode, regardless if they are in it.
as for mikhail, if he was alive, it would definately be a jump-the-shark moment for the show. the only plausible explanation is if smokey takes his form and then helps.
i believe unlikely in this context refers to "wow how is he alive" rather than a specific character.
"SUN DISCOVERS THE IDENTITY OF HER UNBORN CHILD’S FATHER AFTER BEING EXAMINED BY JULIET"
Does nobody else find anything wrong with that sentence? How do you find out who the babies daddy is without a DNA test? or if she was only with 2 men, one being Jin, then a sterility test would have to be done to disprove Jin as the father. How will any of this be done at the beach?
OMG, how many people were like, "No Amber.. Mikhail is dead! Blood was squirting out of his ears and stuff, you are a douche!" And I was like yeah.. but I just have this feeeeeling that he's still alive
So douchey Amber was right! Take that MOFO's!
Stop arguing about Mikael. Isnt it more interesting that the others tried to save Claires live by kidnapping her?
The only way I can see Juliet showing who the father is, is by her exlpaining that Sun is more than 4 months pregnant (Jae Lee) or less than 3 (Jin).
totallyrandomman, I doubt it's Jae Lee, that would be too simple for LOST.))

Although they probably were able to leave the island, this technically isn't true. We know that they were off this island at one point, but we don't know that they left this island to get there. They could have as easily made a one way trip to the island after recruiting Juliet. As Ben said . . . we have to maintain the illusions that our people can leave the island.
They could have as easily made a one way trip to the island after recruiting Juliet.
Then how were Ethan and Richard Alpert recruited?
I don't think you send someone who has never been to the Island to recruit for other "Others" to come to the Island. It just doesn't make good sense.
The "illusion" to which Ben refers (if that is an accurate quote) is the illusion that he (or Jacob) will let them go . . . the illusion that they are free to go. Obviously they aren't if Ben would manipulate Locke into blowing up the submarine to prevent Jack and Juliet from leaving.
As far as Jae Lee is concerned, why would Sun say "that's impossible" about her pregnancy if there were a chance that he was the father?
Mikhail reappears in a flashback as Radzinsky OR his killer.
