Catch-22 (S:3;E:17)

Tell me truly, O passion, is this your trickery?
(Mathnavi of Rumi (E.H. Whinfield tr), The Masnavi Vol 5)


1) First things first. Desmond's vision. Many have been commenting on the fact that we saw Charlie die in Desmond's vision, however he's present in a vision that happens after when he should have died. He was holding the parachute to catch the girl in Desmond's vision. I also like the fact that Charlie was shot in the neck in the vision, and in real time, his guitar was shot in the neck. So, what we have here is a conflict in the vision. We don't know if it has happened before, as this was the first vision we actually saw of Charlie dying.

2) So, when Desmond was a monk, and he'd been fired, we saw a picture of that lady who told him that he can't change fate. In the head monk's office, there was a picture on his desk of him and that lady who wouldn't sell Desmond the ring. There was talk of Abraham and Isaac. The ultimate sacrifice. Vozzek (a poster on Dark UFO) talks about the discussion about Superman and The Flash. There was a flash behind Hurley before Desmond decides to save Charlie. I guess it was the same flash that the black cloud made when it was near Kate and Juliet. Vozzek makes a good assumption. Was that a break in the time continuum? Desmond challenges fate. From what I understand, changing fate, and causing a break in the time continuum spells chaos. How will this effect the outcome of what happens on the island?

3) The photo in the Catch 22 book. Desmond has one of them. There was only one picture taken. But, then again, Penny could have made a copy. She had one on her nightstand at the end of season 2. Did she give that copy to Naomi before sending her to get Desmond?

4) From Lostpedia: "Moriah Vineyards" is an anagram of both 'harmed visionary'. Moriah is also the name of the mountain where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac.

5) From Lostpedia: The hula doll found in the jungle looks like Hurley's doll in his Hummer

6) From Lostpedia: The Brazilian version of Catch-22 is interesting, because in Brazil they speak Portuguese. Same language the guys spoke at the listening station at the end of season 2.

7) So does Kate have confidence issues? She obviously still has feelings for Jack. She tries to boost her self-esteem by sleeping with Sawyer after seeing Jack and Juliet having a moment. So, what if Juliet is trying to get Kate pregnant? Sun concieved away from the island. From what we understand, the problem with pregnancy on the island happens when conception occurs on the island. Is Juliet just flirting with Jack, because she knows Kate will go running to Sawyer?

8) Ok...so how far can a helicopter fly? I touched on this in my commentary on last episode. The island isn't far away from somewhere. Where that somewhere is, I don't know.

9) Next Episode is called "D.O.C." and is about this character

(Note: There is more to comment on. However, I am short on time and wanted to get something out there now)
