The Paley Center had a panel and screening yesterday where they showed the first 25 minuets of 5.1 "Because You Left". Don't read if you don't want to know what was shown.

Wow, there's a name I haven't seen in a while. And bringing back spoilers too! Cool.

[Cherrylipsgirl_]

Alright, thanks

[Mighty_Squid]

Ok here is what I can remember:


I took notes until I got yelled at. This isn't complete but hopefully gives some interesting early insights.

The Show:

It opens with an unknown man in bed with a woman. A baby cries. Woman says it's his turn. He grumbles but gets out of bed. Scenes much like the one with Desmond in the Hatch with food being prepared. Man feeds baby and leaves house which we see is in Othertown. He goes into a House which is set up like a TV studio. At this point we see the man is Candle. He is shooting the Arrow instructional video. He says the Arrow station was used for developing weaponry. He is interrupted by someone saying there is a problem at The Orchid.

He goes to the underground. They are digging. They have hit some weirdness which we know to be the donkey wheel chamber. He yells at the foreman for digging in a dangerous area. They know a power source is there that can control time. There are rules that can't be broken. If they release the energy there will be a problem. The shots widens out and we realize the worker he bumped into on the way out is the Freighter Scientist Daniel in Dharma gear.

Lost swoosh.

Future time. We are at the Funeral Home where dead Locke is with Jack and Ben. They talk about pretty much what we already know and seen. They all need to go back. They need to get everyone together. Ect. At the hotel they watch a news broadcast of an escaped mental patient that is wanted for murder. It's Hurley.

Back to the Island. Aftermath of the light.

Locke is no longer with the group of Others. It's raining and he is alone. This surprises him. He starts yelling and running around.

Daniel out on the raft says they were "within the radius" and therefore ok for now.

Sawyer is with Juliette. He is shirtless still. They are wondering what is going on. Bernard runs out of the jungle screaming for Rose. She runs out as well and they hug. Sawyer tells them to calm down and go back to the camp. Bernard says there is no camp. They go to where the camp was and all the 815ers are looking around but there is no stuff. No wreckage. No Dharma food kitchen.

Daniel finds them. He says he knows what's going on. He wants them to go to the nearest place that has "man made" items. The nearest place is the Hatch. They start heading that way. Sawyer is shoeless and shirtless. Sawyer wants answers. Daniel says he can't explain. It would be tough to explain to a Physicist he doesn't know how to explain to Sawyer. He is very insistent that they hurry. Sawyer slaps him. It's funny. Charlotte came to Daniel's defense and was told by Sawyer he'd give her a slap too. He demands to know what is going on right now. He also wants Daniels shirt which he doesn't get.

Daniel explains the island is skipping like a record. Or maybe just they are, he isn't sure. He doesn't know when they are.

Locke is walking in a field. He sees a plane in the distance coming towards him. He ducks as it flies over. Something falls out. It's a Mary statue just like the ones they found before with Boone. He goes to where the plane has crashed. It is the Nigerian plane still stuck on the cliff. He yells but no one answers. He tries to climb up. Halfway through someone starts shooting at him. He gets shot in the leg and falls. That freaks him out but not as much as the man running towards him holding a gun. The man is Ethan. Ethan asks who Locke is and where he came from. Locke tries to explain that he knows Ethan and he shouldn't shoot him. Ethan raises the gun to kill Locke.

The flash happens again.

All of a sudden it's nighttime now and there is no Ethan. Locke is very confused and upset.

Future time.

Sun is at an Airport. She goes to an Oceanic counter to check in. The agent notices her name and asks her to wait. She is thrown into a room when the door locks. Widmore comes in through a different door. He's pissed at Sun for talking to him in front of other people. He demands respect. He asks what Sun wants. Sun says she wants to kill Ben.

---I run out of notes at this time ---

The next part is the fight with Hurley and Sayid at the safe house pretty much the same as the clip that was released. It's slightly extended. While Sayid fights the man Hurley is standing outside holding a gun with blood on his shirt. A bystander snaps a cellphone pic of him. After Sayid wins the fight he is somewhat drugged and he leaves with Sayid.

I don't remember anything more past this point but I believe it ended after this scene. If you ask me questions I may remember more details and Wags can help me out.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention the Kate and Aaron scene that was after the Sayid fight at the safe house. Again it is the same as we have seen in the released clip. Once she closed the door the clip we saw ended.

Go Squiddy! And Wags!

So we don't get to see Candle's baby?

[bookworm]

Oh you see the baby. It looks like .... a baby. Asian I think but it's hard to tell really.

The wife/chick-in-the-bed was asian as well.

They are more of the type of "Asian" that can be mistaken for Native Americans/South American Indians. Marvin Candle's appearance doesn't scream "Asian" to me (I'd know ). However I do believe they are both suppose to be Asian. Didn't one of the Dharma filming crew refer to him as "Dr. Chen"?

Did we mention he put on music (record player) when he got up to feed the baby? I don't know what song that was but the feeling was quite similar to Desmond's routine in the Hatch in S2. When the record skipped/got stuck it was like foreshadowing what Daniel was trying to say about them jumping back and forth through time.

[shred]

So are we supposed to think the baby is Miles or Jin?

[Cherrylipsgirl_]

And we're sure that baby was born on the island?
Did you see what happened to the other Oceanic 6?

Anyhow, this was awesome. Thank you very much for putting all of this together.

[Mighty_Squid]

I don't remember. Somone does call him by name and it wasn't Candle.

Did we mention he put on music (record player) when he got up to feed the baby? I don't know what song that was but the feeling was quite similar to Desmond's routine in the Hatch in S2.

Right. I don't remember the song either. It was meaningful according to TPTB during the interview. Listen for where it skips.

So are we supposed to think the baby is Miles or Jin?

Damon and Carlton didn't mention anything about that and it isn't implied one way or another. My money is on Miles.

And we're sure that baby was born on the island?

All we know is that there is a baby on the island. We don't know where it was born.

Did you see what happened to the other Oceanic 6?

I forgot to mention the whole Kate and Aaron scene! Again it's one that we saw the clip for so it was nothing new. It was after Hurley and Sayid. So all the 6 were there. Unless I'm forgeting someone. Jack, Sayid, Sun, Kate, Aaron, Hurley. All there in the first half hour.

The only person who we didn't see I think was Desmond

[bookworm]

Ooooo...I can't wait to hear what song it is

[shred]

Geronimo Jackson, maybe?
