Note

I think we should add that the preview had Wonka's boat poem.- JustPhil 14:33, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

• I, for one, would like to know WHY they put it in the preview.--Gibbeynator 19:49, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
  • Because There's no way to know which way we're going...--Pittsburghmuggle 01:55, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
• Yeah, that had to be the absolute worst promo in Lost history. And that's saying something. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions
  • I disagree, watch this promo of Outlaws and remind yourself of the episode :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1c_ULZoA8g Phobia27 13:53, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
    • Watched it. It was bad, but its badness was mainly from misdirection (a common flaw with Lost promos). The promo for The Last Recruit, by contrast, was bad from pretty much every perspective imaginable. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions
• Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is all about 'candidates' being chosen to become the next Wonka, but eventually they all get picked off one by one and ends up with only one 'candidate' left. Remind you of any other show? ;) Phobia27 13:32, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

The Last Recruit

Who is it? I'm guessing it will be Jack, as Jack will probably be the hardest to convince to join Locke. After the real John Locke convinced Jack so thoroughly in the goodness of the Island, in the idea of destiny, and in fulfilling his purpose, I can't see Jack throwing away all of that. Considering what he's been through to come to this place in his life, he will probably be the least likely to be recruited. The other best possibility is Hurley, as he seems to trust Jacob pretty thoroughly. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions

• Perhaps it's Jin? The Man in Black has everyone he wants in his camp now except Jin, so now he is going to pick up 'his last recruit'. Phobia27 13:29, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
• It's someone whose name ends in "oundelay." In the latest issue of Wired (10.05), there is an interview with Carlton and Damon. In it, they muse about the show's arc and philosophical meanderings--nothing any of us Losties haven't heard already. The opening page of the article shows a photo of Carlton and Damon in their writers' office. Behind them is a whiteboard with all kinds of Lost-related plot notes and other interesting tidbits. On the left side of the whiteboard are a few recent episode names and their respective episode number. Episode 610, "The Package," is shown along with 611; 612, although the number isn't visible but "Everybody Loves Hugo" is. The central character of the next episode, which is already known to be called "The Last Recruit," is "...oundelay." Hmmmmm.... --Oedipus 23:00, April 18, 2010 (UTC)Oedipus
  • That's a spoiler, but from what I've read you're wrong, so it's not a bad spoiler. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 15:18, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
