Eggtown

Does anybody have any thoughts on why last week's episode was called Eggtown?

Here are mine:

* first shot is of eggs frying.

* Locke is evolving into a dictator, and it puts me in mind of the famous soviet saying "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." Like, we're gonna see some increasingly ill shit come out of Locke.

* Again, a new community has been constructed - eggtown, presumably - and the question that faces our main characters is: can you live as part of a community? can you give up your own selfishness and your own drama, and be a team player? Kate can't.

I read that egg town is a phrase that traveling salesmen used to use back in the day. When times where rough, they used to bater and if a town was poor sometimes all the had to barter was eggs. Salesmen didn't like to barter eggs because they were fragile and spoiled easily. So they would say don't go too town xyz it's an eggtown.

I dunno how that relates but that's the word on the street.
