The Day the Music Died: LOST 6.14 “The Candidate” Recap and Analysis by Chris Kirkman
Recaps/Reviews, Season 6 View Comments
Previously, on Lost: I have no idea, because Christian Shephard didn’t say those magical words and fill me in. It’s okay, though, I’ve been paying attention. Mostly.
This week, on Lost: Everybody dies. Well, not everybody. I’m sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself. Oh, and did I give something away? Well, if you haven’t seen the episode yet, why are you reading? You can’t blame me for that.
Anyway, before we can get on with the death and dismemberment, we have to start with an eye – Locke’s to be exact. AlternaLocke, to be even more exact. We’re in LA X, and AlternaJack is there, waking Locke up and making sure he’s okay. Jack tells Locke that he got mangled by a rented sedan and that his dural sac was all shot to shit, but Jack rooted around in there and now Locke is all better. Jack says that while he was taking a peek under the hood, he saw the damage that had been done to Locke before and wants to know how it all happened. Locke asks why, and Jack explains that Locke is a candidate – a candidate for a new experimental surgery that could restore feeling to Locke’s lower extremities. Hell, Locke might even be able to walk again, all without the aid of the Island.

Isla Cognita, Part II: Cultural History of the Island by Pearson Moore
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews View Comments
The Island is a cork.
Oceanic Flight 815 crashed because of Desmond, Desmond came to the Island because of Widmore, Widmore came to the Island because of Jacob, Jacob is an angel who works selflessly and tirelessly for the Island, and the Island is a prison keeping the rest of the world safe from the Smoke Monster.
All the mysteries have been solved.
Or have they?
If the Island’s only function is to contain evil, how could it have healed Locke’s paralysis? Why did it cure Rose of her cancer and give her and Bernard happiness for the rest of their lives? If Jacob is a source of good, why did he intentionally cause the deaths of over three hundred people?
We know much about the Island. But with only five more hours of the Island’s story left to tell, there is much we do not yet understand. Let’s take a look at what we really know.

Isla Cognita: Cultural Knowledge in LOST 6.13 “The Last Recruit” by Pearson Moore
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews, Season 6 View Comments
Truth.
We are not the first to seek it. We will not be the last. The greatest mysteries remain unrevealed, but we have discovered enough to bring essential clarity to past, present, and future of the Island. Fighting, destruction and corruption defined the past. But that part of the Island’s legacy is coming to a close. We prepare now for the final battle. “It only ends once,” and that ending is now upon us. Those chosen have rejected their status as “Candidates”. They are not the Recruits of the Man in Black. They are not the Candidates of Jacob. They are the Disciples of John Locke, and those who remain will serve the Island.

I found this video over at the Lostpedia Forums earlier today…
Apparently, this surrealistic scene between Matthew Fox and Nestor Carbonell is from the movie Smokin’ Aces.

Mirror, Mirror: Cultural Themes in LOST 6.05 by Pearson Moore

He is coming.
The most important person ever to walk jungle path and sandy beach is making his way to the Island. But he cannot get there alone; he needs a guide–someone of clear and keen vision. Jacob cannot be that guide. For Jacob saw as through a mirror, dimly, but the guide will see face to face. The guide sees not dim reflections of men and words written on stone. Rather, he sees men as they are, and the words written on their hearts.
“Jack is here because he has to do something. He can’t be told what that is–he has to find it himself.” Tonight, in the lighthouse, Jack began to see with new eyes. The Island has its guide.
