S3E09 "Stranger in a Strange Land" Addendum Notes/Caps

S3E09 - Stranger in a Strange Land - Addendum Notes and Caps

- opening shot, right off the bat, nice work by the cinematography dept (and another view of the Island to help Yung with his maps):



- I did not hear Karl say the line from the brainwashing film "God loves you as he loved Jacob" when I watched the first time. I guess the film worked a little.

- I think that Tom's comment to Jack about gettin him some stones was a witty reply to Jack's accusations of what kinds of people he thought they were. "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" - so is Tom likening what the Others are doing to things he knows about Jack's past? Kinda like a "you should talk, Jack, I know some of the things you've done in your life".

- I'm not 100% sure now that I have the caps, but it still kinda appears that the "Thailand" scenes were filmed on the other side of the mountain range where the Pala Ferry Docks are (on second glance I am starting to think its different locations):




- yep. Bai Ling is a hottie



- this is interesting.....while Tom is talking to Jack in his cage, right before he says "let me ask you something", there is a noise in the jungle (sounded like an animal) but whatever it was, it made Tom look in its direction with concern -



- here's another nice shot of Sawyer and Kate on the boat as they are almost at the shore -



- in this shot, we can see Alcatraz Island behind Sawyer (now the question is, will we learn where on craphole Island Kate and Sawyer docked in relation to the Losties camp? Cause alot of speculation has gone on as to where Alcatraz Island is on the Maps)



- "Why don't we just circle round" and Kate points East. I wonder if this is any indication of them having the vaguest idea of where their camp is in relation to where they are now.

- since they don't show anyones face here, its impossible to tell if Cindy and the other Tailies (I presume) are there to watch Juliet's sentencing/possible execution. But here is the group in front of Jack's cage:



And here is the best shot I could get of the backs of their heads in the "courtroom". It looks like Cindy may be seated in the front



- we see Ben loaded onto a little Dingy boat to row out to the big boat. We also get another comparison shot of where craphole Island is in comparison to Alcatraz Island



- now, as far as the boat we see at the end being the same one they captured Walt on and gave to Michael and Walt to escape - in this shot here, judging from the distance, its MUCH larger than the boat given to Michael and Walt. Definitely NOT the same boat.







*note the windows on the cabin on the two boats - on the smaller boat, the center window is clearly smaller and there doesn't appear to be any room to stand on the bow like we see Juliet here on the larger boat.


That's all I have for now. Enjoy! :)

Peace,
