No, you're not. From The Who's 'Tommy' (the pinball wizard thing). Tommy is a blind deaf-mute, and the song goes along the lines of:

Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you see me?

So... yeah. Youtube of the song, which I'm semi-sure you've heard before without realizing it.

I have one of the songs from that album. I wasn't sure what it was from, but I know of 'Tommy' by the Who.

i love both Jacob and MIB. i dont wanna pick just one side lol
i like them more and more since their both equally manipulative ad convincing. good and bad is all relative so far


and the ep, ofc i loved it. i only wished hurley didnt ruin the richard/MIB reunion. isabella was ok but MIBs love for richard was more convincing to me. he saved him afterall, got him out of those chains


I felt the Hurley/Richard/Isabella scene was so awkward. And it reminded me way too much of the movie Ghost. I think it was way too cheesy.


lmao yea, it was ok, but i wasnt moved. and it definately was alot like ghost lol, all isabella needed to do was jump in hurleys body

I thought the shot where Isabella pops in and out of the scene where it pans across Hurley was AWESOME though.

I thought Nestor Carbonell was absolutely fantastic in this episode. It brought to my attention a character in Lost that I never really took too much interest in before as I just saw that he was someone who never aged and that seemed quite spooky and just honestly another trait of the Island that would probably not be explained in loads of detail. But I really loved how they had his story and this episode just really demonstrates a whole lot of suffering that isn't so strong in the other characters.
I really loved that he was originally Spanish and had this very poor lifestyle that totally reflects the poverty of where he lived and of his era. The way he came to the Island was interesting too and the constant references to the Devil and Hell for the first known 'survivor' of the Island - i.e. Richard's endurance whilst being tied up in the Black Rock.
I think it brings to light a lot more about how Jacob and MIB may not be so opposite as it seems i.e. good vs. evil - it appears now that Jacob can have just that much more of a wicked streak then MIB.
The love story behind Richard was also very tragic and totally befitting to Lost, it served as quite a beautiful back drop to Richard's life, that he would be willing to live forever in order to not have to be judged and go to ''Hell'' as it were knowing in that sense that it takes away any chance of him seeing Isabella again (i.e. if there was no Hell and he just became a ghost like her)
ANYHOO An overall brilliant episode with really great acting from Nestor Carbonell - I enjoyed it alot
