One thought before I begin:
So, there were several twists on the term "the other woman" last night....
Harper is the "other woman" that we didn't know about until now...
Juliet is the "other woman" in Goodwin's life...
...and there's apparently an "other woman" still, whom Juliet "looks just like" and is the reason Ben is obsessed with Juliet. I read here that this other woman is named Annie and is possibly the woman holding a rodent in a photo in Ben's house. (I've never seen or heard of this before, but then there's also a whole other level to this show that I used to be into, but then couldn't keep up.)
That same link also says that Charles Widmore is responsible for Libby being on the island...we shall see.
I love it when things are multi-layered.
Anyway, on with the Egg Hunt:
1) Whispers. They STILL freak me out. And Harper - what the hell? She had that same dead-eyed look that Ethan always had. Anyway, here's a link to the audio. I can't turn mine up right now b/c I'm at work, but if anyone else can decipher what they're saying, please PM me and I'll update the blog with the dialogue. Here's another link that has a little bit of commentary on what the whispers might be saying.
Does anyone have any solid theories on the role of the whispers? We haven't heard them in awhile (except when Sawyer heard them a few weeks ago), but I'm beginning to think they definitely have something to do with this whole Flashtime thing. Thoughts?
2) When Locke served Ben rabbit, and Ben said, "This didn't have a number on it, did it?" : (a) I fell out laughing, and (b) it made me think of something. Remember when they did that whole rabbit thing and there was that whole revelation of "that's YOUR island over there"...whatever happened to that? Are we still assuming there are two islands, or what? I'm so confused by this. What am I missing? THAT (when they shook the rabbit till it collapsed) also reminds me of Eloise when she Flashtimed in Daniel's lab....OH, so many things to keep up with...
3) Harper Stanhope...has a nice ring to it, huh? Which totally made me think it must mean something. So, it could be an anagram for "an Other perhaps" and "or perhaps Ethan". This same source says, "The name of Harper Stanhope could be a reference to the book Empty Cradle by Karen Harper. In it, a woman wanting a baby heads to a fertility clinic in New Mexico run by a Dr. Stanhope, a feminist embryologist who is stealing the eggs of her patients and using them in experiments with drugs that can cause birth defects. "
4) Here's a good shot of The Tempest logo:
5) Emma and Zack - Ben referred to them when he invited Juliet over for a dinner party (for 2, which I have to say, was kind of cute) - were the kids that the Others took on the first night on the island. We haven't seen them again, except for their feet and the bear...which makes me wonder if maybe they're about to show up again.
That's all I have for now...
















So Juliet looks like Ben's childhood girlfriend... interesting.....
and I like the theory that the whispers are the voices that are carrying over from another time dimension on the island.
