On their way to the sub, Sawyer tries to make Juliet smile with his new plans to be rich and fabulously wealthy, which include buying shares in Microsoft and betting on the Cowboys in the 1978 Super Bowl, because he has a better mind for historical events than Hurley. He apologizes for not getting on the sub with Juliet three years ago. She says she's glad he talked her out of it. Juliet climbs down into the sub, first. Sawyer though, stops dramatically, looks up at the mountains of Craphole and sneers, "Good riddance." We cut to...
The Pond: Richard, Ellie, Jack, and Sayid swim underwater and then through underwater tunnels and it makes me claustrophobic just to think about it, so that's all the detail you're getting, except I'll note that reportedly, Matthew Fox was not too crazy about shooting this scene and I don't blame him. When he emerges, in the tunnels (which look like they're maybe part of the temple) Richard is lighting a torch and I'd really like to know how. I guess somebody left ancient matches? Jack wants to know what's next, so Richard says they're going to get the 12' long, 40,000 pound hydrogen bomb out the same way they got it in and no Jack, you dummy, not through the pool. So, I'm thinking magic science? Oh and yes, you'll note that the pond is a pool, now. Pool. Pond. Pond would be good for you. The cameraman throws in a little something for everyone, as he zooms past Eloise's oh-so-impressive and heaving bosom to a soaking wet Sayid, emerging from the pool. Jack had bid Sayid goodbye before he took his big dive, in case Sayid changed his mind about coming with them, and admits he's surprised to see him now. Sayid figures if Jack's plan works, that's great, and if it kills them all, at least they'll be out of their misery. Hee. I like still-coming-down Sayid. Okay, I like all the Sayids, but can we get started like Ellie wants us to? Thanks.
