Lost in Lost

6.17 & 6.18 THE END

2010-05-24T14:41:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's over. I just watched it for the second time. I feel like the world has gone on to the next thing, like at the end of "The Truman Show" but I'm still sitting here sad, touched and content with Lost ending.

I can't even begin to know where to start. There are so many little nuances that I want to touch on and I don't want to forget to say anything in my last post.

The finale was beautiful. This was the perfect ending to the best show to ever air on television. I remember when I first started watching Lost. In reruns here in Egypt when they were in season 2 in the US. One thing that I remember sticking out was how amazing and epic the pilot was. The continuity on Lost impressed me when Jin had half a handcuff on his wrist for an entire season. It only got more detailed and they made me love these characters, cry with them, laugh with them but most of all made me think. I've never felt this way about any show or movie and I doubt I will again. Lost was history making and will go down as one of the top shows of all time.

Now, thoughts on the final episode. I was so glad to see Vincent, Rose and Bernard were ok and for that matter, Frank and Richard lived on as well. I loved Jack's "it's a surprise" I don't know how he knew that pulling that stone out would make NotLocke mortal or why Jacob never did it. Maybe he couldn't or wouldn't kill his own brother after what he did to him.

I had to laugh when Kate jumped the gun, no pun intended and started shooting at NotLocke. Desmond and Ben drop to the ground! Glad she did save that bullet though. The fight scene between Jack and NotLocke was awesome and I'm not a big fight scene type of person. Jack leaping through the air at Smokey was really cool.

Glad Desmond made it out of the light cave thing alive and that Hurley, the new, new Jacob, was set on getting him home. Mathew Fox's performance when the light came back on was so great. I was cry-laughing with him. Hurley asking Ben to be his helper was really touching. All Ben ever wanted was some leadership on the island.

I wanted to tell Miles that I too believe in the power of duct tape. It's just so handy when repairing airliner hydrolics. I was lollers when Claire was like "look at me I'm crayyyzeee"

In the Sideways, I kinda thought David would be playing at this concert thing but I guess it was just Faraday/Whidmore and DriveShaft. I was also "grinning like a sodding idiot" when Hurley couldn't contain his Charlie love at the motel door!

When Juliet was the obgyn I was sure she was David's mother. But that was before I found out David doesn't really exist. Anyway, Sun and Jin remembering was so emotional. All of the realizations everyone had were so wonderfully done. When Claire had Aaron and Kate remembered I was blubbering about the revelation and the birth at once. When Kate said "Thank You" to Charlie and he goes "It's just a blanket" I felt she was thanking him for his sacrifice on the island. It was poetic. James and Juliet got me too. It answers what "it worked" and going dutch were all about. James repeating "I got you" was so sweet after how he lost her. Now I was never a big fan of Sayid and Shannon but that was a twist since we all expected it to be Nadia.

Jack seemed to have had a few flashes that he kind of brush off, when seeing John healed and when meeting Kate at the concert. The culmination all coming to an end at the church when Christian explains to Jack and all of us what's happened was like time stood still in my world. I sat there, mouth agape, staring and realizing that the Sideways was a sort of waiting place, unbound by time, space and from Jack's point of view to help him let go. It was a great sort of reunion moment coinciding with Jack's death on the Island. Passing the sneaker that was there after the crash, lying in the bamboo, Vincent by his side and the beautiful symmetrical ending with Jack's eye closing and with it Lost ending forever.

I will miss this show so much. The characters mostly and how they all found redemption and love. Lost will live forever though. There are still many things to be debated and that are left open to interpretation. It was like no other show and It will be hard to ever match such an outstanding team of writers,producers, and actors again. Not to mention the amazing musical score which has been playing in my head all day. Long Live Lost!

6.16 What They Died For

2010-05-19T06:30:00.000-07:00

I can't believe in less than a week it'll be all over. This episode set up the series finale up really well. I loved the Island and the sideways stuff.

Jack got that same little cut on his neck that he had in LA X. He and David are so buddy buddy now. I suppose Claire will go to the concert as well. I'll bet David's mother is Juliet. Miles will convince Sawyer to go and she'll ask James to coffee! I wonder if/how Jin/Sun and John will go? I can't wait! It's a little bitter sweet but exciting!

Kate made me well up when she talked about Ji Yeon. Sawyer really looked like he felt horrible about the deaths. When young Jacob came to Hurley about the ashes, I didn't get why he was young then old, then everyone could see him. Hmm. Anyway, I thought Jacob's explanation

didn't really explain what the light or the heart of the island is or does. It was kind of a given that Jack would be the one. I don't know if he will or can kill NotLocke and what Desmond will do. I hate when people on the show call him Locke. It's not Locke, its NotLocke! So Kate was crossed of because she became a mother, but its just a line of chalk in a cave. So I guess Jin was the the candidate then.

Ben getting pummeled by Desmond again was a little funny. Locke changing his mind made me happy. I love that eye twinkly smile he has and I hope he walks! Ben and Russau was a nice twist! Even a kidnapping joke! Ben tearing up over being a father figure to Alex. It's all coming together!

I loved Desmond pulling strings in the alternate reality! Kate seemed a little too smiley in that van though. Ana Lucia as a dirty cop, figures. Seems Hurley has full memory of the island. It seems Kate should shut up and get in the car because a dress and a concert's gotta be better than county jail.

Is Richard dead? I hope not. Hopefully Smokey was just getting him out of his way? That's no way for such a major character to go.

So Ben's back on the dark side? Or is he conning NotLocke? He promised him that he could have the Island then he told him that he's planning to destroy it. So why would Ben help him now?

Bye Zoe, we won't miss you. I'll miss Widmores voice/accent but that's about it.

Who let Des out of the well? Did Sayid give him a rope? But he said that Des was in the well. Maybe it was Miles? or Claire. Where's she been? Left behind again? Jack and them were still at the river I think. Will the walkie talkies have a role?

Funny lines :

Miles: "Is this a secreter room?"
Sawyer:"You thought that guy had a God complex before.."
Miles: "Good luck with that!"

Well It's 5 days away and I'm sure I'll post the last post a little late. 2 and a half hours, well probably 2 without commercials but YAY! Till then!

6.15 Across The Sea

2010-05-12T03:23:00.000-07:00

I wasn't crazy about most of this episode but I love Lost so I'll take what I can get. I had to laugh at "Every question I answer will simply lead to another question." The episode was very vague, they didn't tell us how she got there or who those other people were or how Jacob and MIB came to play the game of free will vs evil.

We still have no name for MIB. He must have one. I came away feeling bad for him, even if he killed his "mom". We know that they are twin brothers.(Melissa, you were right!) We found out how Smokey came along and who Adam and Eve were. We also found out when and how the donkey wheel got there but not how it got frozen. I wonder why MIB didn't leave via that, later. The actors who played Jacob and MIB looked a lot like Mark Pellegrino and Titus Welliver, and that kid who was looking at MIB in past episodes was definitely young Jacob. The woman who played Claudia, their real mother was gorgeous. I guess MIB can see dead people, he's special. That's why he was weirded out when Sawyer could see young Jacob.

There's not a lot more to talk about because I feel like not that much else happened. We got some big, long awaited answers though.

6.14 The Candidate

2010-05-05T23:42:00.000-07:00

Wow. This episode was incredible. I don't think I've cried so much at Lost since Charlie died. It was really sad but also really well acted and kept us on the edge of our seats. The last 15 minutes I had my hand over my mouth or sobbing.

So when Lock didn't want the surgery I thought he just didn't believe it would work. I love him and Helen. Jack waking up in that outrigger and Sayid saying "at least you didn't have to paddle" was funny. Widmore putting them in the cages seems like it was for their own good after all.

Bernard definitely seems like he's seen the other reality. The way he kept smiling and calling him "Jack" not Dr. Shepard. How he told him his first name, and how he remembered Anthony Cooper so well. I missed Bernard. I wonder if they'll ever address the retired Island Rose & Bernard.

Jack kept saying that he wasn't leaving the Island. I feel like he might be the new Jacob. So glad Smokey killed Dough boy a.k.a. Chip from Kate & Ally.

In the place where Anthony Cooper lived, the intercom called ext. 23. They always have to use the numbers. I don't know why I felt a little bad for him. He was obviously still the jerk he was before but he just never got a chance to royally screw John over. James has been looking for him and he's right there in LA.

I loved how NotLocke is bulletproof and walks right to the plane and breaks the guy's neck and shoots the other one. He had this all planned and knew the C-4 was on the plane because he took the watch off that guy before going up those bamboo steps and walking right to where it was.

Sayid tells them that the guy's neck is broken and if anyone knows broken necks it's Sayid.

When Sawyer told Jack to get NotLocke in the water, Jack said, you saw what he did back there. I think it means that Locke can't turn into the smoke monster when wet.

John was having a bleed through reality dream. Claire didn't sit or get up like a pregnant woman at all. The catch a falling star music box was to maybe jog her memory of him singing it to her as a baby. It was cute when Jack said, "we're not strangers, we're family". The flight 815 weirdness must have him really freaked by now!

When they were all huddled by the sub, NotLocke let Saywer call the shots and they played right into his hands. I did love Jack pushing NotLocke into the water in John's name.

I was shocked when Kate was shot and I thought she was gone but, nope. Claire just wouldn't listen to anyone calling her on to the sub and then she cries "they're leaving us!" Left behind again.

Jack was right about the bomb this time but Sawyer couldn't trust him again after last time. If they just let it run out it wouldn't have blown up just like the dynamite didn't with Richard.

Sayid's heroic noble death totally redeems him. It was really sad but he went out like the badass that he is. I loved "It's going to be you, Jack" So confirmation that Des is alive and very important.

Frank's a goner too. "Aw, Hell" Another poignant line was Jack's frantic "There is no Sayid!"

The rest was just so sad and I was watching through tears since Sayid died. A lot of people are saying why didn't Sun tell Jin to go and raise their daughter. First of all I think it was unspoken when she told him "You have to go". They didn't have to say it, or maybe it was too hard to even say the words. I don't think Jin could physically bring himself to leave her. Plus he probably didn't think he had a good chance of getting out in time anyway. There was no more oxygen and no guarantee that he'd live to get off the island and see Ji Yeon at all. This scene was just heartbreaking.

In the alt. reality, John didn't look to happy to see Jack and wanted out of there. The fact that he caused his father's vegetative state is sad but he doesn't know what old Anthony had planned for him. There was a moment of recognition when Jack said "I wished you believed me"

If I wasn't crying enough Hurley sobbing killed me. Jack's too. It was like they all were not only crying for the one's who died but about everything that's happened.

John seems like he knew they weren't all dead as if he knew that if they were, something would happen with him. Like he'd be suddenly free or something. I wonder if he's going after Desmond or Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley.

I really thought this episode was the best all season. It was gripping and exciting and yes, sad but this is it, guys. It's almost over.

6.13 The Last Recruit

2010-04-21T06:23:00.000-07:00

-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

I really like the feel of this episode. It felt very season finale-ish. The end is near!

When Locke told Jack he "looked like" Christian I'm not sure I believed him. I don't know it's the Christian telling Micheal on the freighter that he was free now that's confusing me. The Jack/Claire "we're brother and sister" thing was a little awkward but I suppose it would be. How did Claire know Jack was her brother? See she said to Jin that she'd been with her father and her friend(Locke) so what gives?

Flash Sideways Sun totally recognized Locke as NotLocke as kind of a bleed through. She seemed afraid of him so it wasn't John she'd remembered. I really like alternate Ben. Seems very nice. I knew Jack would end up fixing John, and I'm gonna say he's probably going to really fix him. He'll walk again, I predict.

Sideways Desmond is coming off as a bit of a creeper. Stalking Claire like that. She didn't think that was weird. It's very Jacob like though. Zuleikha Robinson cleans up nice. I still want to know why Elana was bandaged up.

Sawyer and Kate with the matching leather jackets were cute, they're definitely not true loves. She did look great in that scene though.

Sayid. Sayid, Sayid, Sayid. I felt so bad for him and his zombie self this episode. I don't think he killed Desmond. They'd show that. There's hope for Sayid yet. Did you see that look he gave NotLocke after he told him he did kill him? He's got a plan and he took so long because he got Des out of the well.

I'm really sick of Zoe. What we're capable of? Has she seen smokey in action?! When Hurley asked Sawyer who that was I half expected him to say "Liz Lemon".

Claire is still very odd and I hope she can be redeemed. Maybe when NotLocke is killed, hopefully by Sayid or Desmond, all of his followers revert back to themselves. I really kind of felt bad for Claire when they left her but she needs to remember they didn't abandon her! I thought she was gonna kill Kate but she seemed to calm down.

I knew Widmore would renig. He's not that nice. Sawyer didn't deliver on his end of the bargain anyway, plus now Charles doesn't have Desmond, but really he should have kept a better eye on him!

Sun and Jin!!! I'm sure everyone, as did I, thought they'd get fried by the pylons a la Mikhail. It kind of ruined the moment but not much. I love those two and I'm glad they didn't keep that reunion till the finale, it's gonna be too busy.

I'm glad Sun and her baby are ok int Alt. universe too. Sayid fell for that old Tom & Jerry, trip on hose trick.

Now when that explosion went off and Jack was all messed up, I got the feeling that he'd died and Smokey "claimed" him just then. Just like I think Claire did in New Otherton and Sayid did. That's why NotLocke said "You're with me now", ever so creepily.

What's up with Richard, Ben and Miles?

Funny lines, Hurley to Claire "You look...Great." "That pilot who looks like he walked off a Burt Reynolds movie"

No Lost next week. :(

6.12 Everybody Loves Hugo

2010-04-14T03:56:00.000-07:00

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

I really liked this episode, but Hurley-centric eps are always good. I loved the Man of The Year video! And Pierre Chang! Hugo's mom is always funny.

I wasn't at all expecting to see Harold Perrineu, I don't look at the credits or anything to make sure I'm not spoiled. It was good to see Micheal but I kinda thought the whispers reveal was a given.

Loved Hurley and Libby, they're so sweet together.

Desmond hitting Locke, now was that him pulling a Charlie, trying to get him to see the other side or was it revenge because he was aware of his alternate self, and he'd thought it was Locke who pushed him down a well?

Elana going boom was kinda funny, sorry, Elana, she kept throwing those water bottles onto the unstable dynamite and well, yea, I guess the Island was done with her, as Ben said.

I kinda hated that Miles went with Richard. I like Richard but Miles, man, where's the loyalty? Jack's been down right likable this season. He's learned humility and I think it was good that they addressed Jack's guilt about Juliet.

I thought the way NotLocke reacted to the island boy, (who by the way, did he look older this time? And what was with that smile?) was interesting. He seemed a little afraid of him. He also didn't like how not scared Desmond was.

He can't die, man, How's he gonna get out of that well? Christian? Jacob?

I think it was cool and brave of Hurley blowing up the Black Rock and saying they should go face NotLocke, but I hate that they all keep calling him Locke. Giving John Locke a bad name! NotLocke and Jack exchanged a weird look, I think it's the first time he's seen him and damn, Sun just misses Jin. Will Jack tell Claire they're related? I miss the real Sayid! At least Jack got the info from Dogen that those two aren't the same.

What was in that little bag of Elana's that Hurley found? Was it Jacob's ashes? What is he gonna do with them?

6.11 Happily Ever After

2010-04-07T05:40:00.000-07:00

What the hell just happened? I'll tell you what. Television history. Man, I'm gonna miss this show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm thinking that being close to death lets you see into the other timeline. Just before Juliet kicked it, she said "Let's meet for coffee", Charlie saw Claire when he almost choked to death.

It's Minkowski ! Your super helpful driver! Minus the nose bleeds. He seemed...weird, like he knew something. It's always the driver. Like with Locke & Abadon.

When Charlie put his hand up to Des in the window, under water, I got chills.

In what universe am I rooting for Widmore agains "Locke" and Sayid?! I liked his approval, nay, love of Desmond in the alt. time line. By the way the painting in his room...A scale with black and white stones.

I don't like Zoe.

Daniel's epiphany was enthralling. I missed him! I love how seeing Charlotte was like his link. Maybe like a constant.

Eloise and her old lady afro freak me out. She knows about the alternate universe, it's like she had part in designing it. "You have a perfect life, everything you ever wanted" (paraphrasing). It really feels like we made a lot of headway in this episode.

So what's Des going to do with the manifest? Find Claire for Charlie? Show the other Lostees the light? How will he know which ones? Or that the flight has to do with it?

What is it about Desmond & Penny that is just so magical? I love their story. I hope he doesn't faint again and miss their coffee meeting. Maybe Sawyer will meet Juliet for some too? It also looks like a lot of them are at the same hospital. Claire, Sayid, Sun will be going...Time will tell.

I don't think Desmond is really going to go along with Sayid. He knew he had to do what Whidmore needed him to do.

6.10 The Package

2010-03-31T05:58:00.000-07:00

Episode 10 did not disappoint, I thought there was suspense, humor and some reveals and tied some things together.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love a Jin/Sun episode and this one was no different. I was a little sad when it was revealed that they were not married in the alternate reality/time line. I guess her jerk of a dad wasn't having it. How cold is that? Sending him to deliver the money to pay off the guy who's going to kill him? Also, closing Sun's account. Cold, man.

Poor Sayid, man, he doesn't feel anything and seems not to know why. NotLocke and Sawyer's little exchange did address the issue of why he doesn't just smoke on over the water. Sawyer's "oh yeah, because that would be ridiculous" was funny! I was so worried for Sun when he was chasing her. I mean he didn't take her by force when she hit her head but he was chasing her the whole way. Free will and all that?

Claire was worried about Aaron knowing Kate as his mom and not her, when NotLocke said "Whatever happens happens" She had this look on her face like, hmmmm Ima kill'er! Yea, right after you get some shampoo K?

I loved seeing Mikhael again. I don't know why I always liked him. He had 2 eyes there for a while till Jin shot one out. We got to see how that whole restaurant fridge thing played out and that Sun is pregnant.

I knew Desmond was "The Package", it was so obvious. Still good seeing him though. I loved the exchange of looks between him and Sayid. I wonder if Zombie Sayid knows or still recognizes him. I'd suppose so. I hope he comes out of this somehow though.

Widmore is looking for the pockets of energy, I wonder what for. What's he brought Des there to do? He seems to be against smokey/NotLocke just like the Jacob followers are. Also, he seemed to be the good guy here. When Jin saw pictures of Ji Yeon, I cried, it was so sweet and she was so adorable! I was hoping for a Sun/Jin reunion this week I guess it would be too predictable.

Sun losing her English was a weird twist. Jack was like his season one counselor self in that little fire-side chat. Nice to see him smile though.

A couple of other Lol moments were the pretend cocoa and Frank's reply to Mile's bacon grease comment. I thought Lapedis was going to defend Hurley but he was just "Don't talk about bacon". Heh.

I like how they bring back people in the alt time line. I really hope they bring back Faraday somehow. He was cool. Whispered everything. But cool.

How many episodes left? 7? It's really getting down to the wire now. It's clear that NotLocke needs all the candidates on the plane with him to leave and that everyone else has to stop him. How does Mrs. Hawking fit in this season?

I saw Richard in a whole new light this week. I felt for Sun and how she just wanted to find her husband and not save the world or be a Candidate. That tomato looked delicious though.

6.9 Ab Aeterno

2010-03-24T09:33:00.000-07:00

This one is right up there in the top 5 Lost episodes ever! I was grinning most of the time thinking, I love this! The rest of the time I felt bad for poor Ricardo and all that he went through.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nestor Carbonell was so amazing. He never really got a chance to show his chops but he made this episode. I loved it! Ricardo & Isabella are the best love story on Lost since Desmond & Penny.

On the beach, snarky Ben was back. No one asked what replacing Jacob meant? I loved that little chuckle Richard gave when they all turned to him for what to do next.

I want to know why Elana is bandaged up. Jacob is such a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an inigma. I'm glad he's more chill now. When he saw Richard with the dagger he went a little overboard with the hitting. But maybe that was part of the proving he's alive thing.

Richard could NOT catch a break. First his wife is sick and the doctor's a jerk and he accidentally kills him, he gets sent to be hung and I thought the priest that saw Richard in prison was kind of ummm....Harsh? Then when he gets on the Island he's chained for days unable to reach the water and when he finally gets the nail free a stupid boar knocks it out of his reach. I'm gonna say that was his penance. The smokey scene was pretty cool, though. I want that sound bite, the smokey sounds. Maybe a ring tone. I don't know why.

I thought this episode was full of answers. We learned what was suspected is true, that Richard was a slave/prisoner on the Black Rock. We also found out how the statue broke and how the Black Rock got on the Island. We also got a lot about the dynamic between Man in Black and Jacob. Very sneaky that Man in Black, he had me going there for a bit. Interesting that the instructions Man in Black gave Richard about how to kill Jacob were the same as the instructions Dogen gave Sayid to kill Man in Black/NotLocke. So this is the only way to kill either? Ben killed Jacob but with a different knife. Ponder worthy. I love how they are sworn enemies and still come and say good morning and stuff, heh.

I loved the wine bottle/cork analogy and lots of people are saying that when the island sunk, it's like the cork was removed? I'm not sure how that theory fits in with the sideways reality, but it's interesting. The way Jacob described why he brings people to the island, to prove Man in Black wrong, seemed pretty cavalier. I mean this is supposed to be the good guy. He brings people to suffer and mostly die on the island. Man, I can't wait to see how this ends. Two months!

Hurley using his powers to save the day once again. That very Ghost like scene with Isabella was touching. I hope Richard goes back now and tells them what to do.

I'm gonna reiterate what Jay & Jack said this week. People need to just watch the show for what it is. Not have such high expectations for tons of answers every episode and nit picking about little things. You're going to ruin your Lost experience. Just enjoy and go with the flow.

6.8 Recon

2010-03-17T20:52:00.000-07:00

So, I enjoyed this episode. Not as much as last week's but I felt like they were laying the foundation for what's to come.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sawyer as a cop was unexpected. A little fake out with the con-man act there. They had me going. When they revealed that James was a police officer, I wondered why he helped Kate escape in the airport elevator. I suppose maybe he's only in the job to find Anthony Cooper and didn't care about it and also he'd kept his trip to Sydney a secret so maybe he didn't want to call attention to himself.

His calling all the Anthony Coopers was pretty sad to me. Miles knew he was lying all along. They had quite the bromance going on there. I was glad to hear that Miles' and his dad were on good terms, when he mentioned him.

On the island I was glad to hear Sawyer say he wouldn't leave without Sun and he also asked about Miles Jack and Hurley later on. It shows he does care about them, even if earlier he said the Others could do what they wanted with them.

I was kind of rooting for Claire to kill Kate and it was funny when Sayid just sat there. Funny but sad. Is this what his character has been reduced to? I want the old Sayid back, man. Locke throwing Claire like that and that slap, woah. He was like go sit over there! It was weird.

Charlotte sure cleans up nice. I knew the date would be someone we know, I just hoped it would be Juliet but the museum job makes more sense for Charlotte of course. I think she was wrong to be snooping around in his stuff. Yea he kind of over reacted but you don't just go looking in someone's stuff like that. Just take a T shirt and be done with it.

Back on the island, I didn't get NotLocke's whole crazy mom shpeal. I mean I get that yea Claire is crazy now but I didnt' understand what he meant by growing pains etc. He just wanted to get Kate on his side, I believe.

In the alternate time-line, I loved the part with James watching Little House on the Prairie! It was a nice call back to a scene back in season 3, Tricia Tanaka is Dead. Kate says something about a clean slate and he goes slate? like on Little House? and she teases him for being a fan and he said he had mono and was home for a long time and the tv only showed one channel. Don't make excuses man Little House was great!

So, Charlotte tells him he blew it and then he makes up with Miles and tells him about what happened to his parents and why he joined the police academy. Tortured soul, that James Ford.When the car hitting- fugitive was Kate, that was no surprise, I mean come on.

Back on the island again, I thought the part where he sees the cages and clutches Kate's dress was lame. I don't' get it. Did he forget about Juliet that fast? I knew Zoe was lying from the beginning. I bet Widmore's got Desmond in that Locked room! So Sawyer is playing both sides and just wants to get out of there, hopefully with all the Lostees, even if he said "you and me" to kate about getting of the Island. How are they gonna run a sub? Maybe they'll just force the operator to take them? We'll see I suppose but that wasn't the shocking ending, that we are accustomed to.

I wont say who I heard next week's episode is about, just in case someone doesn't want to know, but I can't wait!

6.7 Dr. Linus

2010-03-10T17:20:00.000-08:00

I thought this was an excellent episode, the best since LA X. There were a lot of reveals, well more confirmations of things Lost fans have suspected. Good episodes always go by quick.

I was starting to think the character of Benjamin Linus had fallen flat, but it seems he's being redeemed and made the right choices in both universes/time-lines.

Side-flash Ben was a good teacher that cared about his students and school. Loved seeing substitute Locke giving Ben ideas. I also like how Ben still had Alex in his life and chose her over power. They faked us out there for a second when he walked into the office. I think he could have still blackmailed the principal but for story's sake, I'll just believe it had to be a choice.

It was good seeing wrinkly Roger and how Ben was caring for him. Giving him oxygen instead of poison gas. It seemed like Roger and Ben had a good relationship in this time line and gasped when Roger said they did go to the Island. I wonder why/when they left.

Glad Richard made an appearance and I felt badly for his desperation. Jack was totally man of faith in the scene with the dynamite. Hurley was lolz "If you change your mind, I'll be like, a mile away". Richard all but flat out said that he came to the island on The Black Rock.

I love Miles' character. His "UhOh" when Elana said that Jacob was the closest thing to a father to her was pure snark! And the fact that they used Miles' power to bring back Nikki and Paulo and the diamonds was so satisfying!

Elana said there were 6 candidates left, Shepard, Reyes, Ford, Jarrah, and Kwon. Now Either Kwon is both Jin and Sun or Kate is still a candidate or someone else. Maybe Desmond? Maybe Frank? Elana did mention he could be one last season, and now they reiterated how he was destined to come to the island.

Richard revealed that being touched by Jacob makes you a candidate and candidates can't kill themselves. This was a light bulb moment for me. Micheal was once a candidate (Dawson was seen on the cave ceiling and crossed off) and the Island wouldn't let him kill himself till it was done with him on the freighter. Jack once almost jumped off a bridge and then was distracted by an accident. Even Locke wasn't able to hang himself. I love when Lost drops a little bit of info that sheds light on so much stuff that happened before.

We learned that NotLocke has taken his group to the Hydra and that he seems to be telling everyone what they want to hear. He just said to Sawyer a few episodes ago that it's just an Island, and it doesn't need protecting. And here he is telling Ben that he's the new Island protector.

Ben's scene with Elana was heartbreaking. How Micheal Emerson manages to play a weaselly murdering mastermind and still tug at your heartstrings is beyond me. I cried when he said "No one else will have me" and his look of utter disbelief when Elana replied "I'll have you". Again, a parallel to the sideways universe, Ben making the right choice. I felt bad for him being all left out on the beach.

The little reunion scene was like old times and garnered a few tears from me. I thought Ben and Richard might at least shake hands. They were left out. They need to give Sun a few lines besides "I need to find my husband" already.

The sub with Widmore wasn't a surprise for me. That's the last time I listen to Jay and Jack's "Next on Lost" segment. I'll also avoid looking at the credits in the beginning.

6.6 Sundown

2010-03-04T03:14:00.000-08:00

I never watch previews so I had no idea this was a Sayid episode but I was glad. I've always liked Sayid. Level headed, and kickass Sayid. This new Dark Side Sayid is scary but Naveen Andrews is playing it well.

It was a shocker that Sayid was not married to Nadia, but his brother was. Omar seems to kind of know that Sayid cares about Nadia too. She's really beautiful by the way, great smile. I guess the kids know now too. oops.

The fight scene between Sayid and Dogen was pretty cool , seemed really long too. When Dogen first went for Sayid, Sayid came back like..Oh, you don't know about me!. I guess Dogen realized he can't kill him and just told him to leave. Miles got some screen time today. 2 hours huh? Wow, so at least we know that part. The hot tub didn't do anything, except drown him, so it's definitely broken.

Claire does mention Jin and Sawyer so we know they are still ok but where? Dogen changing his mind again about Sayid was weird but I thought they already knew Jacob was dead. I suppose Sayid wanted to prove he has good in him.

Kate really didn't see that Claire was a bit on the cuckoo side? She should have told her that he is safe. Claire probably wouldn't believe that he was with her mother because for all she knows, she's still in a coma. But Kate doesn't know that, I think. Claire had a killer look on her face when she heard Kate say she'd taken Aaron but then it kind of went away later.

NotLock did speak before Sayid stabbed him. He said Hello Sayid. I wonder if Dogen's instructions were literal or he meant kill him before he convinces you to join him. So Jacob can be stabbed and killed but NotLocke just goes "Now why'd you go and do that?" Ha, that was good. Now when Sayid said the only thing he ever wanted died in his arms did he mean Nadia or Shannon? This is where Sayid goes to the Dark side and his heart is blackened by the evil inside him. I hate that he's evil now really. Unless he's faking it. I dunno would he fake it and kill Dogen and Lennon? The look on his face was scary.

In the flash sideways/alternate life/whatever, we see Jack pass Sayid and look right at him in the hospital. Also the guy who went and got Sayid and spoke bad Arabic, wasn't that the other Omar from the freighter? I loved the scene with Keamy. I knew the big guy was gonna be someone we know but Keamy was unexpected. I kind of felt like he was channeling Christopher Walken there. He's got some chompers too. Sayid was his bad self as usual and Keamy got his comeuppance. Now Jin in the fridge was the most perplexing part. Was Keamy the guy he was supposed to deliver the watch to? Why was he tied up?

It was good seeing Sun and Frank even for a second and at least Sun knows Jin is alive,"last I saw of him, yea." I need them to reunite and soon. Elana really seems to know a lot but has no time to tell anyone anything. Ben going back for Sayid was oddly caring but I loved his look of sheer terror at Sayid's crazy evil eyes. Did Ben make it back in time to get in to the secret door?

So when Dogen is dead and Smokey goes all crazy in the temple, I hate when everyone splits up! Kate is now stuck with the evil people. Not that I care but I feel like it has some meaning. John gave her a look when he saw her. This ending was creepy and dark. I can't wait to see what happens next. Where Jack and Hurley are. Where is NotLocke taking everyone?

6.5 Lighthouse

2010-02-25T05:11:00.000-08:00

I liked this episode. As I said before, season 6 Jack is more likable to me. A lot of shout outs to season 1 in this episode.

His alternate universe son looks just like him but I'm dying to know who the mom is. Maybe Juliet? That would be interesting. More daddy issues passed down of course, but it was weird seeing Dogen at the audition.

Wild Claire is definitely infected if infected means ca-ray-zee. So she knows "her friend" isn't John. I want to know how much does she know. And why is she all "WHERE'S MY BAYBEEE" when she walked away from him and her dad said that Aaron was where he's supposed to be and she was all fine in the cabin. I'm not the biggest Kate fan but she should be thanking her for taking her kid in, not killing her.

Hugo rocked this episode, once again. I loved the part with "cause I'm a fan of history and Indiana Jones' stuff" Also when he told Dogen he was a candidate, and why doesn't HE go to the courtyard? I loved that part!

So who is coming to the island? Is it Desmond? Ellie? Whidmore? I hope it's Des!

I really wish Jack looked at who was at 108! Maybe it's Hume? I wanted to play around with that before he smashed it. I guess we know now that they've been watching them for all this time, for sure. I think his frustration/mirror breaking is how a lot of fans feel about getting answers as well.

Jin's leg looked OUCH but Is he smart enough to out wit Claire and NotLocke? Plus where's Sawyer now, doing what?

So is everyone at the temple doomed now or what? Why is everyone staring at Sayid? What will happen to him and Miles?

This was a Jack-centric episode but Hurley was the star for me.

6.4 The Substitute

2010-02-23T08:19:00.000-08:00

I finally got to watch this episode today. I love a Locke episode. In this case, a Locke/NotLocke episode. A lot more of the "chance" encounters of our Lostees off Island in the alternate universe.

I thought that alternate Locke would be happy and he was in the way that he was with Helen, but his bad luck with the van mechanism and his "douche" boss was in kind with the old Locke. I kind of wish he did call Jack and maybe he will somehow. I love him and Helen together and I hope we get to see them get married.

Hurley the CEO was cool even with the mutton chop sideburns. He's so lucky that Locke's van stops just short of scratching his hummer.

I want John Locke as my substitute teacher. Ben Linus too. I loved that bit. Change the filters, people!

On Island, Richard whose always been calm and in control, was freaking out and terrified. That freaks me out. I wish Sawyer went with him. I liked him trying to help but then running for his life.

Who was the kid? He looked a lot like Jacob to me. Who did he mean by him, when he said, "You know the rules, you can't kill him". Did he mean Sawyer? Richard? Jacob?

Ilana seems to know a lot, yet no one asks her a lot of questions, as usual. I almost cried when they buried John. It was so sad. No one had anything to say except for Ben. "He was a better man than I'll ever be, and I'm sorry I murdered him" I wonder if he meant that. Frank with the one-liners, "Weirdest funeral I've ever been to".

I liked how Sawyer, even drunk, knew it wasn't really Locke. I'd like to think that Sawyer, the slick conman that he is, won't be duped by NotLocke. He's gone for Mr. Ford when he's most vulnerable but I still think he's not that stupid. The whole scene with the ladder/cliff was nerve wracking. I hate scenes like that, make me nervous.

So Jacob had another secret crib in the cliff. I think NotLocke throwing the white rock was symbolic. He feel's he's defeated Jacob. We'll see. So the original List is shown.

4- Locke
8- Reyes
15- Ford
16- Jarrah
23- Shepherd
42- Kwon

The numbers are back in play. Kate Austen isn't on the ceiling? I saw Goodspeed up there!

Now NotLocke gives James 3 choices. It's obvious he wants him to pick # 3.

1) Just do nothing and watch from the sidelines
2) Take over Jacob's job as the Island protector from nothing.
3) Go home with NotLocke. Where's home?!

It seems for now that Sawyer's chosen going home.
I can't wait for more Locke and I really want to see how Desmond plays into all of this. What about Widmore....What was his convo with Sun about? Will we see Daniel again? I hope so, he was great!

I'm so glad I have just one day till the next episode!

L A T E

2010-02-15T19:48:00.000-08:00

I'm going out of town for a few days so I won't be able to watch lost or post about it till I get back. Just in case anyone was hanging on my ever word .:P

6.3 What Kate Does

2010-02-10T07:30:00.001-08:00

Wow! The last 15 minutes were the best!

Miles wins best line of the episode with "As you can see Hurley has taken the leadership role, and that's so great" AH, I loved his delivery. Also, "We'll be in the food court if you need us." Miles has few lines, but what lines he has, are great!

Claire is the new Russau!? Who or what is the darkness in Sayid? What the hell is going ON?!

I really really, really can't wait to see Jin and Sun reunite! I loved "Who do you care about" I thought she'd say "Myself", it's probably what she was thinking. But ouch on that trap Jin stepped into. Let's hope Claire has Russau's skills.

Sawyer just broke. My. Heart with that scene at the dock. I've never seen Josh Holloway act so well and I cried like a baby right along with him

Kate on the other hand, should let the body get cold! God, just let him grieve. He said he wanted to be alone. PLEASE don't have him get over Juliet and love Kate all of a sudden.

Dogen(?) is starting to grow on me. I want to trust him. What did he mean, he was brought to the island like everyone else?He's like Mr. Miagi. Tells you to trust him and it's good for you. Plus he knows that Claire is Jack's sister. And is speaking more English. What about Smithers? Er, I mean Lennon. What's his deal?

I want to know why Sayid has to take the darkness killing poison willingly. Does it contain the magic ash? Seeing him be burned was pretty unsettling and I can't wait to find out what the infection is. Does it claim anyone who dies? Did Claire die in the explosion in the barracks and was claimed later? Does this have anything to do with why bodies were important between Dharma and the Others?

I am actually enjoying Jack this season, he's definitely on the road to redemption.

The off Island story seemed to drag but I loved the part where Ethan Goodspeed is Claire's ob and "doesn't want to stick her with needles if he doesn't have to" Ah I love it. Still creepy, Ethan.

You can see how the alternate realities are bleeding into each other. Kate looked at Jack at the airport taxi line with a decided look of recognition. Claire, just knew her son's name was Aaron and it looks like she'll be keeping him. Kate felt a connection too. I'm pretty sure Aaron had that stuffed whale toy in season 5, too.

Once again, well played, show. Well played.

6.1 & 6.2 LA X

2010-02-04T06:01:00.000-08:00

Previously, on Lost...we were confused. This just in...we still are but I love it.

This premier was supposed to start answering questions, and there were some answers for sure, but as usual we got more questions.

Terry O'Quinn rocked as usual. He can play deviously evil Black shirt and kind John. He needs another Emmy.

When the episode started with a plane window I was like, wow. So they went with the landing safely in LAX route. It was all creepily familiar and I sensed Jack felt a little de-ja-vu. Except his hair's too long. I guess if he had cut it it wouldn't make sense either.

I love the Rose-Bernard stuff. They are just so adorable! Does Rose have cancer though?

When Jack goes to the airplane bathroom, he looks at himself for a second before noticing the blood. Does he look older? The blood is kind of something that's crossed over from the other reality.

Des! It was great to see Desmond. I don't know if he was there there or time skipping there. But I suppose he wouldnt time skip if he was never on the island or turned the key. He must have just changed seats again later. Jack recognized him but it was more likely from the stadium run than from any alternate reality. Where does this leave Penny?

The cartoony under water island was lols. Was that a Dharma shark? More mystery.

I guess the blast or time jump or whatever happened landed Kate in a tree a la Bernard circa season 1. When her hearing was off I kept trying to fix my speakers. Yay for miles, I like that sarcastic s.o.b.

So they are at the hatch. I was thinking some went back in time and some stayed until they showed everyone in both realities. Josh Holloway played Sawyer's heartbroken/angry pretty well.

So alternate realities. Interesting. We all thought they'd have to go either this way or that, but they did both. Simultaneously. Flash backs then flash forwards and now FLASH PARALELLS! This feels very Sliding Doors.

Hey it's Doc Artz! I hope Sawyer doesn't take advantage of Hurley and his lucky self. It's clear some things in the new alternate reality 815 flight are different.

Back on the Island Sayid's still bleeding to death and Jin's English is really good.

I do wish they would hurry up and help Sayid already. Last season finale they were all arguing while he bled. Couldn't Jack go check on Sayid while the rest of them uncovered Juliet?

Lol at Hurley and the gun. I was so worried he'd accidentily shoot someone but I knew he was no Ana Lucia. Hey, it's my man Jacob.

So Alt reality Jin is back to being a bit of a jerk and I nearly cry when they show John.

BOOOOOOOONEEE! Another thing that changed is Shanon not coming with him. I guess she was busy? When John talked about the walk about and when he was seated in the middle of the regular plane rows, I though hey maybe he's not paralyzed in this reality. No such luck though. I

I suppose he lied to Boone because he wishes it was so. Is there any way he could do a walk about type thing in a wheel chair? Unlikely. I laughed at "pulling my leg" though. Cause of the way Boone died on the island. Also Frogurt!

Black Shirt/Not John cuts a rug, literally in the foot room. Ben looks in total shock. There aren't any remains of Jacob in the fire though. Ben looks to be as confused as I am.

Does no one care about poor bleeding Sayid?? At least Jacob does. Heed his words Hurley, I like that they are using the ghost whisperers here. So Jacob confirms that he's indeed dead.

The VW van comes to the rescue again.

Back on the plane, Dr. Jack is doing a bit of rescue of his own. YAY Charlie! We missed ya.
I wonder why he said "I was supposed to die"? He was obviously trying to smuggle smack and choked on it during turbulence. Hmm.

So Juliet's alive. So It was weird to have them show Juliet just to have her die, again (how many times is this?) but I guess they had to have her there to get her message across.

How long does embalming last? Dead John looks pretty fresh. Richard wants to know what happened and he's losing patience with Ben. I loved when he threw him down to see Locke in the box.

Also, Jin and Sun are in the same time now right?? Right??!!

Back inside the foot, NotJohn is getting down to business when we hear the clicking sounds of none other than Smokey. Smokey kicks ass and doesn't bother to take names. An idiot shoots at the smoke. Bram temporarily protects himself with the ash, but it doesn't work for long. Ben pees himself.

Back at the Swan station site, Juliet is starting to be incoherent. I think in that moment before death she was crossing over into the alternate reality and that's how she knew "It worked".

Juliet dies, why don't they take her to the temple as well? Juliet wasn't touched by a Jacob, remember? I guess it doesn't help that doesn't have a contract.

Back on the plane, I'm wondering where's Claire? What about Libby, Ecko and, heck even Ana Lucia? I hope they have more up their sleeves during the season. I wanted to see Michael and Walt as well but I guess it would be hard since Walt is like 20 now.

Captain Norris ! I'm pretty sure that was Greg Grunberg's voice.

I loved the closing scenes, Sayid looking at Nadia's picture, Jin and the watch, Landing safely and everyone getting off, and the heartbreaking moment when John get's in his wheelchair.

PART 2

They finally start to think about Sayid and Hurley takes charge when Jack isn't able to.
Hurley confirms that it's not a guitar in the guitar case. Sawyer's even more tortured now and isn't following anybody. I doubted that, then.

At the airport: Oceanic screws up or something spooky is going on with Christian Shepard's coffin. Or body. Remember the coffin was on the island, in the wreckage, but not the body.

So they reach the Temple. You would think someone would spakle that hole up. Oooh Montand's skelleton. How do they even know which way to go, its like a maze...a dark one

Who the hell are these people? And why are they dressed so stupid?

So Kate's gonna run. Its what she does best. This Marshall must be the worst marshall ever. I mean Kate's good but she's escaped from him several times!

In the elevator, Sawyer clearly sees she's cuffed and helps her escape. At least we know that he's still the upstanding citizen he's always been.

Island time...

James forces Miles to tell him what Juliet said. It's haunting when he says it!

So Cindy shows up, and so do the kids, back at the temple. Thank you. That always bothered me.

I know there were Others at the Temple but I don't get who this Kung Fu Samurai guy is. Or his lackey.

So we find out what's in the guitar case. A big old Ankh. I first thought it was a kind of key or something but it held the LIST!

I wonder now if Sun learned English in this reality and just isn't saying because she doesn't want to help Jin or be with him? Or does she just not speak it in this reality?

Back to the Temple, their indoor pool looks pretty gross. I wonder if the dark water means Jacob isn't in control? So it's healing water. Ok.

Again, like with Ben, no one asks what risks? Does that mean Sayid will always be an Other? Like Ben?

Watching them heal/drown Sayid was unsettling. Then annouce...You're friend is dead....Ya think?

Jacks got a lot of guilt right now, about Juliet, about Sayid. He's going to redeem himself this season, i know it. But Sayid can not be dead, he just can't.

At the airport, Kate makes a run for it, and OMG CLAIRE!

He doesn't like the way English tastes on his tongue? I don't like this guy but it will be interesting to see how his character develops.

As soon as they find out Jacob is dead so they surround the place with ash to keep blackshirt/smokey out.

Ben wants answers and NotJohn is creepy as ever interesting that his shirt is black/grey
How does NotJohn know all about Real John's life? Locke was NOT the only one who wanted to stay on the island though Walt wanted to. So did Rose and Bernard.

So he wants to go home. Where's home? That last look was pure evil.

Miles was looking at Sayid was like, I can't get a reading on this one!

When Sawyer said he changed his mind about killing Jack, I thought maybe he was thinking about "it worked" He never would have really killed him anyway.

Richard is about to lose his shit when he sees the smoke signal/flare thing. "Nice to see you out of those chains?" At first I thought it meant he was a slave long ago, that could be true but it could also be a metaphor. Since he was under Jacob's rule for so long. NotJohn knocks him out. Was that really necessary?

Sayid is alive??!!! Is he really Sayid though? He could be Jacob? Or Widmore? or any number of people! I just want him to stay Sayid though. And continue his badasskickery.

SUCH a good start to the final season but I worry about they wrapping this up? I don't expect nor do I want everything to be tied up in a pretty bow but there needs to be just one reality, me thinks.

Bravo, show! You continue to amuse and confuse me.

PS. Where's Vincent? Also is Daniel Faraday gonna show up?

5.16 & 5.17 The Incident

2009-05-21T13:37:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to process this finale all week, it was definitely a lot to take in.

Where do I even begin? How about the end? Well, I guess we have no idea where season 6 will go after that white flash. It could mean the bomb blew up and brought them back to 2004 landing in LAX as they expected, which I really hope doesn't happen, it's too predictable anyway. OR maybe it was a time flash white light and they will be in 2007 with the rest of them. Or something else completely.

I gotta say Elizabeth Mitchell stole the show. Her scene with Sawyer where she's about to fall was heart wrenching, for real. Then she went and did what they had set out to do and blew up the bomb. Who knew all she had to do was say the magic words? "Son of a Bitch!" I think we will see her in season 6 because she was still alive just as they all were at the end, same with Sayid. They can't kill Sayid!

As for the real shocker, the bomb was a given, LOCKE is NOT LOCKE! I did not see that coming. SOOO the guy in the first very telling scene with the black shirt who wanted to find a loophole to kill Jacob, that guy we'll call Black Shirt. So Black shirt embodied Locke. I think he might also be smokey. Maybe Christian? I dunno, but smokey has taken the form of a person before, as Yemi, Eko's brother.

I really feel bad about Locke now though. I mean I loved the character of John Locke from the start. The tortured soul who always wanted to be special, lived his whole life being taken advantage of, even in death!

So Jacob seems like he's good and Black shirt is evil. I mean Jacob seemed very kind and it was interesting how and when he met/visited Kate,Sawyer,Jack,Hurley ,Sayid,Sun &Jin. Each were before the crash of 815 except for Sayid and Hurley. Now I don't understand why he stopped Sayid, letting Nadia get hit by the car, but maybe that was going to happen anyway. Or maybe they would have both been hit and he saved Sayid? Anyway, he gave Hurley the guitar case, maybe it's Charlie's? Was the point in time where he met each of them significant? He made it a point to touch each of them physically too. I don't really know what the reason for Juliet's flashback was but Jacob didn't visit her. I have to say though casting did a great job with the child actors, especially Kate, she looked so much like Evangeline Lily.

It was good to see Rose and Bernard and VINCENT! again, finally. That's why they'd been out of sight. So Bernard could grow a cool beard. I'm thinking maybe Jin did find them once and kept their secret, since they had Dharma food and they didn't "find" them. I wonder if we'll see them again. They're "we're retired" seemed so final.

My only gripe was how lame everyone's reasons for blowing up a HYDROGEN BOMB. Relationship reasons...whatever, everyone flip flopped on that while Sayid lie bleeding to death in the van. I guess he was being his badass self and doing something with the bomb. Miles was the only reasonable one.

So Ilana, Bram and them are on Jacob's side and seem to think Frank is a good candidate for something? Maybe to take Jacob's place or form, It's out there, I know. Since Ilana was helping Jacob, she brought Sayid back. It's all part of Jacob's plan.

Now Jacob went down all to easily and he even seemed to be goading Ben when he said "What about you?" Ben had just poured his heart out and wanted validation or some reason for all he's done and he's met with basicly, who cares? That made Ben get all stabby and Jacob said, "They're coming". Maybe that means the Losties are coming?

I can't believe we have to wait till 2010 for the 6th and final season of my beloved show! There's always re-runs and they definitely left us with a lot to ponder. Until next year my friends...what did you think?

5.15 Follow The Leader

2009-05-07T12:22:00.000-07:00

Well, Daniel is dead as a door nail. That does not mean we won't see him again though!

Kate annoys me. I think she should have said more about all the people the bomb would kill and less about the good old times. Wasn't her whole purpose for coming back to the island to find Claire? What happened to that?
Is Ellie pregnant? Charles had his hand on her tummy and people do that when you're pregnant.

Radzinsky , I hate you so much, and that Phil, ugh what an ass.

The return of Sayid! I really thought Kate got shot though.

Ben is so scared of Locke now. I loved the WTF looks on Richard's face. He needs to talk more!

I really felt for Miles when he saw his dad order his mom off the island, but I thought there would be more of a DADDY!! SON! Moment when Chang found out it was him.

Hurley's little test was funny cause when they first got to '77 he starts asking all these questions about how to fit in, including 'who was president in 1977'. And Sawyer told him, "this isn't a game show." I also loved Jin's pained look when Hurley said that the Korean War never happened .

The H-bomb appeals to Jack. He wants this all to go away and he can't know what will really happen. How is he so sure? Isn't that a paradox? I mean if he prevents the crash then he prevents himself going back in time to prevent the crash.

I like you John, but I hope Sun will go in to kickass mode when she finds out Locke isnt really going to find Jacob for her.

We had BETTER see Bernard and Rose in the finale. Remember them??

I guess Sawyer couldn't do anything but till the moment he got on the sub I thought he'd have a plan. So Kate gets on the sub JUST after Sawyer and Juliet have a moment! I was already imagining S & J happy in the 70's. Did you see the look on Juliet's face!? Plus I guess they don't have to be drugged to get off the island? I also hated Kate's "Hey" look to Sawyer!

In The Man Behind The Curtain, when Locke first went to the Cabin, Jacob said "Help me." So maybe Jacob needs to die like he did. Or something.

5.14 The Variable

2009-04-30T07:35:00.000-07:00

Oh Lost. I love you. I hate you! No no no! I didn't mean that! I Love you!
Daniel's character is one of the most interesting on Lost and I REALLY hope he's not dead!

Well this episode definately confirmed a lot of thinks we have suspected. That the button in the hatch was what we thought. Indeed, Widmore was the one to plant the fake plane/bodies. Thankfully Penny isn't dead and Desmond was shot but is ok in the end. I had also suspected that Widmore was Faraday's father, but who is Penny's mom?

Daniel's childhood flashbacks were interesting and kinda creepy. Elloise Hawking is not winning any mother of the year awards, that's for sure! No time for music, no time for relationships, just to make sure he does end up "twitchy". Poor Theresa was sweet before he messed her up...too bad he messes his own brain up too. I liked the continuation of the scene where he's watching the news.

So Daniel tells Jack and company that they do not belong there and that his mother was WRONG! What is that woman's agenda?

I really liked when Daniel was just plain and honest and said what needed to be said to Dr. Chang. That rarely happens on Lost. I kinda wish Miles had been like "yea, it's me dad".

So during their little meeting I liked when Hurley said "you guys were in the 50's? Like, Fonzie times?" Haha. Sawyer was an idiot for calling Kate "freckles" in front of Juliet...it was his pet name for her, and while Sawyer has "pet" names for just about everyone it was a term of endearment and Juliet was rightly annoyed. Glad she gave the code for the fence.

The scene with Daniel and little Charlotte was almost painful. He promised himself he wouldn't tell her but he did. She says the bit about chocolate before dinner and they both cry...it's just so tragic.

Have I mentioned how much I hate Radzinsky? Well, I do. He's a huge tool and I hate him. Now Daniel, it was not the best idea to go waving that gun around though. I can't believe Sawyer and Juliet are caught. What are they gonna do? What about Hurley, Miles and Jin?

Soooo Daniel's plan? The one where he detonates Jughead and changes the course of history so that Oceanic 815 doesn't crash? Yea, I don't think that's such a good idea. Who amongst them want to go back to then? Kate for one was on her way to the slammer. None of them would have met. Hurley would still be cursed. John was crippled and depressed. No. Just no.

When Elloise Bitch Hawking went to see Penny, I don't really get what she was doing there. I mean, just to say sorry your Des was caught in the cross fire? Her eyes are creepy. And why'd she slap Widmore?

Daniel should have walked in to the camp arms up and had the gun just in case but damn...killed by your own mother....cold, Ellie. COLD. I hope dead isn't dead in this case!

5.13 Some Like It Hoth

2009-04-18T13:19:00.000-07:00

Miles is definitely an interesting character. I knew right away that Pierre Chang was Miles' dad because his mom was the woman in the season opener when we saw him get the baby. Who on Lost doesn't have daddy issues??
I felt so bad for poor little Miles when he heard the dead for the first time. Teenish Miles was hard core. THE best moment in the whole episode that still makes me giggle is Mile's look to his Dad when he said he liked country! I did think it was good to return the football player's dad his money and while he did pretty much crush the dad, it showed he does indeed care that his dad wasn't around.

Hurley was kind of annoying in this ep, I don't know why. Just having to stop to check the mayo and being nosy and pushy...I'm not a Star Wars fan so all that stuff went over my head.
The numbers on the hatch was cool though, they haven't brought them up in a while. I did like the whole comparing notes on seeing dead people bit.

Kate must have been the worst con artist ever. She just had to go tell Roger that even though he's a huge ass and doesn't even appreciate her giving blood or offering sympathy. Blah. I think Jack should have just said, "Look, she was probably trying to make you feel better" or something. Instead he made it look more suspicious I think. I dunno, Roger probably annoyed him, being a drunk dad and all. Maybe it was to show he still cares about Kate.

The guys in the van. Bram and them? Who do they work for?? It's not Widmore and Ben didn't seem to know them. But you never know with Ben though. Ellie? The Economist? Also, why did they want his body at The Orchid??

Naomi's corpse. SO this guy Felix had the evidence that Tom showed Micheal about the faked plane crash. Miles was all weird and twitchy, lol.

The guy in the back of the van? WOW that magnet was so strong it shot his filling through his head yikes... I remember Desmond saying it made his fillings hurt but I guess the thick wall that Sayid was talking about lessened the strength. When they first showed Radzinsky I was like, Cool, shoutout, but he is so damn annoying.

I wish Miles would have had time to erase that tape before Horace came in. When he said "circle of trust" All I could think was Meet the Parents. But now it looks like the ish is gonna hit the fan. Probably leading to "The Incident". I hope Sawyer has a good plan.

I liked the scene where Miles sees himself and his dad is doting on him. I'm gonna say he had to leave them or have them leave the island to protect them. Maybe after The Incident. He seemed like a loving father. Maybe his mom lied? I don't know but it was a sweet scene. I particularly liked when Mr. Chang said "I need you", and Miles goes "You do?" Lol it was so cute.

YAY for Daniel!! I knew he was coming when Chang said "scientists". Is the next episode in 2 weeks??

5.12 Dead is Dead

2009-04-10T01:07:00.000-07:00

So you know how I love every episode? I loved this one MORE!! I felt like a lot of things were revealed or at least the context of them were.

Oh wow, was it good. LOVED confident Locke. He's back! He was so sure of himself and put Ben in his place. Loved how he knew more than Ben and saw right through him.

LOVED vulnerable Ben. I think this is the first time we've ever seen him with his guard down and scared!

It was interesting how he "saved" Alex. But why didn't the smoke monster judge Ben for anything else besides Alex? I mean he has done some pretty bad stuff.

It was funny when John told Ben..."I'm sure the monster will understand" Haha, I was like, yea, because it's such a calm, rational monster. I liked the ancient smoke monster drawings too. So Alex, that was smokey right? Like Yemi came to Eko. That scene was cooool.

I knew Desmond was the one who laid the smackdown on Ben on the pier. He hesitated when he saw Penny had a child and he told Sun to apologize for him. I hope that was the end of it and he didn't go back and kill Penny, but that's not likely, The gun went in the water. He probably was "sorry" for shooting him in the shoulder (grocery bag?). The blood in the water was ew and cool at the same time.

I guess he does have some good in him, in regards to Alex as well but he was still planning to re-kill Locke. He's gonna hate having to follow him but he damn well better.

The tunnel to the water Ben drained or whatever, that didn't work...what was the point of that? And did Dharma dig that or Others?

I want to know where John went when Sun said he had to do something and how will he help Sun get back to Jin?

I always hated Ilana! I'll bet she was sent by Widmore, she and the other's with her. Leave Frank ALONE! What lies in the shadow of the statue?? It's gotta be either Jughead or the wheel. But when they saw the statue ever so breifly, they weren't that close to it, right? In any case the question reminded me of "What did one snowman say to the other snowman?" question/password thing we saw before with the Swan.

Surprised that Ceasar was killed so soon....or was he? Is dead really dead?

Did anyone notice a little bit of focus on Locke's (Christian's) shoes? He was shaking the sand out then later putting them on again

I knew the long haired guy who talked to young ben was Widmore, the actor looked a lot like him and the deep voice gave it away.

I kinda hoped this episode would explain what happened to Annie, but no luck. Let's hope they address it.

5.11 Whatever Happened, Happened

2009-04-06T22:34:00.000-07:00

OH show. How I love you.
Kate's hair looked so pretty here.

I'm not the biggest Kate fan but she was pretty good in this episode. I like that she did turn Aaron over to Grandma Littleton, but I don't get what the big secret was about that. Why didn't she just tell Jack, "Oh I gave him to his grandma". Playing with us, they are. I also like that she went back to the Island to find Claire. They didn't forget about her! I thought the woman that found Aaron in the supermarket was gonna be Claire.

I liked seeing Cassidy again, but It would have been good to see Kate when she finds out that the woman she knew was actually Sawyer's ex and "gee whatta coincidence!" But anyway I do NOT see how Sawyer "broke her heart" and that's why she needed Aaron. Last we saw, Kate couldn't decide between James & Jack.

Hurley & Miles' conversation about time travel was great and they were talking right to the audience there. I can't wait to see what Daniel is up to.

I didn't fall for Roger being all sweet or anything. I bet a lot of abusive people feel some remorse at times but he was still an ass and said "sometimes a boy just needs his mother" Yea, maybe a boy just needs his dad to lay OFF! Ultimately I don't think Roger's actions, or Sayid's shooting him or anything else had to do with how Ben Linus turns out because Richard said he wouldn't remember anything and he'd "lose his innocence" I don't really get what that means!?

I'm glad Sawyer made his feelings clear when he told Kate he was helping Ben for Juliet. Juliet going into the bathroom when Jack was showering was weird. He's changed a lot and I for one, DO like the new Jack.

Also VERY interesting that Charles & Ellie are still on the Island in '77. Where does that leave Penny and Daniel?

5.10 He's Our You

2009-03-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

I loved the episode title, once it was said.

This was another jaw on the floor Lost ending. But sit tight folks. I 'll bet Ben is going to be fine. The Island will heal him or something. It really does bring to mind the question. Is it OK to kill a person who you know will do horrible evil things while they are still young and haven't yet done them? I didn't feel bad for Ben, although I've never seen a child shot on TV like that, he has it coming eventually. Plus he send a flaming van into a house with people inside. Presumably. Yes his father was a huge asshole and probably started Ben on his road to evil but I'm also afraid Sayid "killing" him could turn out to be what makes him use him in the future.

I think it was interesting, comparing the killer that is Ben and Sayid. Sayid has only ever killed for good reason or to protect people he cared about. I didn't like that scene where Ben told him he was done and Sayid was all "What do I do now?" I do however think that Naveen Andrews brought it this week and really showed his acting chops. Also his hair looks better straight.

The actor playing young Ben was so spot on with the creepy eyes and all, Sterling Beaumont should get a guest emmy nomination. But he wont. Anyway I thought Sawyer asking Kate why she came was so random and just trying to get us all ooooh about the love quadrangle. I'm tired of it already. I don't care much for Juliet or Kate but Juliet is a way better choice. That's all I have to say about that. And no one's asked her about Aaron?

No Miles this week? And very little Jin. I'm not even asking about the people and canines we never see anymore. Jack seems to like not leading anymore and is going with the flow as is Hurley.

Oldham was hilarious. I loved "Maybe I should use half a dropper". Drugged up laughing Sayid was so funny too. We almost never see him smile. I thought it was weird that not one person thought hey maybe this could be true...this is a crazy island and all.

I effing hate Radzinski. He needs to cool it. Horace seems like such a weird leader. Why is he head honcho here again? I guess the reference to Ann Arbor meant the Degroots.

I don't get why Jin had to check with Sawyer at the end, poor guy got knocked out by Sayid's mad ninja skills. That's another thing that shows that Ben isn't sweet and innocent...he just saw Sayid turn on a guy in a second flat and left him unconscious and his first thought is "COOOL HOW'D YOU DO THAT?" or something to that effect. I don't think Sayid is a born killer and can be nothing else. Dude just can't catch a break.

I can't wait till John shows up all alive and stuff.

5.9 Namaste

2009-03-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

SOOO this episode was crazy....well that's normal for Lost right?

Frank is The. Best. Pilot. Ever. I loved the runway which we saw Sawyer and Kate help build in Season 3. So does Ben have it built because he knew Frank would need it in the future? Also Radzinsky! He was the one who was with with Kelvin Inman in the Swan station/Hatch, and was the blood stain on the ceiling.

I wondered when or if Sayid figured out they had traveled back in time. If one could ever jump to that conclusion. Sayid has been to the Flame, when Mikhael was thre and Locke blew it up, so he had to realize something was up. Plus Jin was in a Dharma jumpsuit and stuff.

I felt bad for Sawyer/James. He had a good thing going at Dharma for 3 years and that's probably the closest thing to a normal life he's ever had. Steady and peaceful, Now this happens and they have to figure out how to blend in. Really it's all kind of a big con but a simple life still.

Where is Faraday? Did he go back on the sub to research? Is he helping build the orchid? Did he go crazy?

The baby being Ethan was so typical but I wonder if they will go in to how he went from DI to Others like Ben.

I liked the 70's clothes. Jack looked funny with his fitted shirt and all. I LOVED the look on his face when he was told that his aptitude test showed he would be best for janitoral work. So perfect.

Why wasn't Sun in 77 too? No fair...Jin is looking for her too but in the wrong time. I bet they're just stretching this out to make for a biiiig ruinion, but I loved Sun this episode. She out Benned Ben. I guess that's what puts him in the injury ward when John sees him and says "that's the man that killed me."

When Christian showed up I thought it would be Rose and Bernard, then I thought Richard. When he shows Sun/Frank the picture that the door flies open and there are some whispers.

Ben was creepy even then but his dad was a huge jerk and that'll do it. I wonder if Sayid is what makes him interested in the Hostiles or is this after he spoke to Richard...I think after cause he's bigger here, right? Sayid saying "nice to meet you Ben" was eerie.

That guy Phil is suspicious of Kate, the way he looks at her he is suspicious. I don't know why James didn't ask about Aaron or why they didn't ask about Rose & Bernard or VINCENT! Blah.

Jame's smackdown to Jack was a long time coming although a bit harsh.

I can't wait to find out how they will all reunite in time. Or what happened to R&B and the damn dog. Or a million other things I want to know.

5.8 LaFleur

2009-03-05T14:49:00.000-08:00

This episode was really great! A lot of WTF? moments and some lovely ones as well.

I loved seeing the four toed statue in all it's glory. It looks Egyptian right? It also looks to be holding an Ankh in one hand like the one that was around Paul's neck.

I really liked how James cared a lot about John. He has become James now. Not Sawyer.
I lolled when the guy yelled at the 2 dancers for having a "hootenanny" .

Horace will always be Percy Wetmore from The Green Mile to me. I liked the reveal that LaFleur is Sawyer, I was thinking Daniel. But James "Sawyer" Ford LeFleur was indeed a nice surprise. He looked a lot different shaved and shampooed. I liked him taking the leadership role. Josh Holloway was great this episode.

They're all settled into Dharma and I wonder where Ben is at this time.

I thought that Amy's baby was going to be Charlotte but it was a boy...I'm sure it will turn out to be someone we know.
The security gate looked appropriately new. I love Lost for their continuity.

Daniel was heartbreaking and moving in his grief over Charlotte and seeing the little redheaded girl. They don't show Daniel at all in the 3 years later part...I wonder what he's doing. Besides going into the Orchid like in the premier.

The best part by far was Richard showing up, James calling him "Your buddy out there with the eyeliner". The conversation between them was great. I like how now the Losties know more than the Others or Dharma. Richard was so confused.

I guess it will have more meaning later but I didn't care about the Horace/Amy/Paul thing. I don't know what Richard wanted with the bodies either. I do wish Miles would use some dead people talking skills or something besides just snark.

I kinda liked James and Juliet as just friends but they made the romance believable. I really truley hope he is not stupid and goes back to Kate. It bothered me that he didn't tell Juliet where he was going after the phone call though.

I'm glad they're all on the same time line. Jack kinda smiled at Sawyer, Hurley was stone faced though. Kate annoys me. Last week she didn't care what happened to everyone on the island so I hope she doesn't get all fickle and want James back.

But seriously. Where the hell are Rose and Bernard?! All this time? Could they have joined the "indigenous hostiles"?

5.7 The Life and Death of Jeramey Bentham

2009-02-26T05:11:00.000-08:00

So since I don't see the previews, I didn't know the episode was a Locke ep, or the title, till I watched of course, but I love Locke-centric episodes.

So, that's that dude from the plane, Um, Caesar? I would have thought he'd have a middle eastern name, but whatever. Him and the cop woman both seem so casual about the crash and being on the island. He hid that gun, you know that's gonna be key later.

So I'm confused as to when they are here? It seems like they've crashed on the other Island, where the Hydra station is. So Frank, the pilot and a woman took the third boat? Who's the other woman? Sun? Could they be who were shooting at our Losties a couple episodes back? Or is it Caesar, he has that gun. Where's Sayid? Somewhere with cuffs on but he's crafty, he'll get them off fast.

JOHN Rises from the dead! Ew I hate mango
Lockes neck is bruise free but the island can make him come alive so I guess it can heal bruises.
The broken leg bone is so gross, as is the puking. You'd think he 'd he bled to death by the time Widmores people got him, but you know, the Island won't let him die I guess.

OMG Abadon!I don't get why John acted like he didn't remember him.
owwwwwwwwww Them "adjusting" his leg and all, was a hard scene to watch.

Could Widmore be the good guy? Ben insists he is. I think it's neither. Ben has been a conniving little rat liar since day one as Henry Gale. Widmore's own daughter, Penny said not to underestimate him.

Damn wheel chair, couldnt he get him crutches. I immediately thought of Helen when Abadon asked if there was anyone he wanted to look up.

I like Sayid as a philanthropist, more than as an assassin.

WAAAAALLLTT! Yea, he's gotten big. The dream thing was interesting...I wish they'd go into what exactly is special about walt and that someone would tell him about his dad.

BENNNNN!
Hurley's painting Egypt! I loved that Hurley thought John was ghost, he's seeing them so much.
lol at "Go away, BYE"

Abadons kinda annoying, you'd think he was trying to get the guy to kill himself!

Kate's annoying too. I hope Sawyer finds out just how she feels.
I was hoping to see a John/Helen reunion, I liked her.

Abadon's "just a driver"...HA! yea right. Well, he's gone, I knew it was Ben.

Jack looked like he was just starting his downward spiral, kinda slurry and starting the beard.
But he was really harsh, I think that's why he felt so guilty and badly when he saw the obituary and when he found out it was suicide.

All of this stuff piled up made John so hopeless he wanted to die or did he want to hang himself because Richard said he'd have to die?

I don't think I get why john dying makes this work? Besides the coffin on the plane thing?
Terry O'Quinn was great in this scene, It was so real, he made me really feel for him. Again.

Ben's got John all confused along with the rest of us. Poor John. I don't understand why Ben talked John down only to kill him a minute later. Was it to get info? Was it something he said about Jin or Mrs. Hawking? Ben is one creepy MoFo. On the other hand he is insisting that John be kept well preserved so he can go back to the island with them and be resurected. One minute you think he's really trying to help them and the next he's PURE EVIL. After this , you are DEAD to me BEN!

5.6 316

2009-02-19T06:08:00.000-08:00

This episode was made of WIN! By now you know if the post is titled with a episode number and name, and you have not yet seen said episode, don't read ahead!

I like the start with the eyeball close-up like season 1. JACK! ON THE ISLAND! Nice dive there Jack. I love how they started at the end.

Yep, Desmond immediately recognized Mrs. Hawking. Shall we? Shall we WHAT lady?
The underground station looked so hatch like and Dharma-ish. SO that's the lampost!

This episode solidified that Ben is a liar through and through. Mrs. Hawking's "Probably" was great. She was kinda creepy at times and nice at time. I was waiting for someone to get hit by that pendulum.
So who's the fellow who built the room? One of the things on the wall said US Army 1954, this makes me think that Eloise Hawking is indeed the Ellie we met on the Island.
Des was pissed. I have a feeling he can't do anything about the island not being done with him.

So GUAM! via Ajira flight 316!

I kept wanting Jack to just read that letter already. I love how clueless Jack is sometimes. DUH who do you THINK John would be representing?? DUH!
"This is Ridiculous" Really Jack? REALLY? After all you've seen? He was still fighting it but he believes.
"That's why they call it a leap of faith" was like last week's "That's why they call it sacrifice" from Christian to Locke.
So the loose end Ben needs to tie...a promise to an old friend. Could that be him vowing to kill Penny? It explains his beat up face, coulda been Des putting the hurt on him. He was at the marina when he called Jack.

So What was with that weird scene with Jack's gramps?

I knew it was Kate in Jack's house. So WHAT did Kate do with Aaron? Why did Jack just accept that his nephew was suddenly gone so easily? WHO apparently abandons their son and then is in the mood? That REALLY bugged.

I liked the back story on the tennis shoes.

Jill the butcher is kinda creepy. When Jack was changing John's shoes I had a Mr. Rogers kinda vibe. I also imagined John would suddenly rise when the shoes were on. I wonder if Christian will want them back later.

Kate did NOT look happy to see Jack and was distant and annoying the whole day. Maybe she just remembered Sawyer's on the other end of that plane ride? By the way, why wear a suit to the Island Jack? Was that more duplicating the original flight? I wonder what all they packed/brought.

So HOW did Hurley know to come? Dead friends told him? I hope it was Libby and we see it later! No clue what was going on with Sayid but I'm pretty sure that this is not the last we'll see of other passenger who gave Jack his condolences.

What's with the Guitar Hurley? Maybe it was Charlie who told him to bring it? (BTW I love Jorge Garcia's blog.)

Ben's "Who Cares" was reminicent of "So?" from last season.

Gotta be weird being on a plane knowing it's gonna crash...

OH EMM GEE FRANK! I liked him better scruffy though. "We're not going to Guam" ha!
I was worried if Jack let Frank know what's going on he'd turn around or something.

"How can you read?"
" My mother taught me."
Loved that. Ben lies like it's a reflex.

I lolled at Hurley's sleep mask.

SOOOO JIN? The van and his Dharma clothes looked new so maybe they're in the 70's now?

So if that's true can Ben meet himself?

5.5 This Place is Death

2009-02-12T13:31:00.000-08:00

This episode was really good. We got some answers (and of course some questions).
SPOILER ALERT! Don't read on unless you've already viewed This Place is Death!

Ji Yeon is so cute! I wanted to squeeze her cheeks! I totally called Ben luring Sun with proof of Jin being alive.

So Jin must have been confused but automatically he thinks "time travel"? Well, it is a weird Island. Why were the numbers being broadcasted from the radio tower then?

I didn't notice Nadeen last week, I wonder if she's an other now? Or eaten by Smokey!
YEA! Smokey's back! And he's badder than ever, I missed him.

Montand got what he deserved, he was being such an ass. At least now we know how he lost his arm.

Russeau's music box! She had mentioned it to Sayid in Season 1. Ew the flies swarming on the corpses was gross. So I remember Russeau saying she removed the firing clip from Robert's gun, so that's why it didn't go off. I think she went crazy, understandably. People disapearing and smoke monsters, that'll do it. So I guess she gave birth alone.

I FLOVED the Sawyer/Jin reunion! So great! I love how when they told him about the time travel he freaked out in Korean. I figured Charlotte knew Korean, last season Jin saw her smiling when he was speaking to Sun in Korean. He later asked her about knowing Korean.

So the O6 are falling apart. When Sayid told Ben and Jack that if and when he saw either of them again it would not be good for anyone, I could understand, now he's against Ben but why Jack? Cause he's in cahoots w/ Ben?

Oh man bloody noses everywhere. Yikes Charlotte looked like Death when she yelled in Korean to Jin about not bringing Sun back.

Ben was FED UP in the van and was not having any more death threats!

Crap! More flashes and right on top of eachother. I loved the Jeronimo Jackson refrence by Charlotte.

Charlotte, OBVIOUSLY you've been here before. NO DUH. Early last season she had a flashback in Tunisia with the polar bear dig, she totally recognized that Dharma symbol. I'm thinking Daniel will try to change the future even though he said you can't and will go back in time and offer her chocolate and tell her not to come back or she'll DIE! Maybe Miles can get some dead info from her.

Jin was so noble making John promise not to bring Sun back. I still heart John Locke. He has so much Faith in the Island, even if Jin's all "How you Know?" I liked Juliet thanking him though. It took a lot of strength to climb down that rope too.

So the light from the flashes seemed to come out off that hole. Again...WHERE are Rose and Bernard? AND VINCENT!!

James was nice caring about John so much. They definately have a connection and he's a new man.

Bye Charlotte. I never loved her character but I did feel bad for Daniel. But we did get some of her story.

I thought Richard was going to be the guy down by the wheel but Christian was a cool surprise. So Christian is anti Ben. Who to believe? Who to trust?

I'm glad John kept his promise and did not tell Sun Jin was alive.

Eloise Hawking was no surprise, I think to most followers of the show. Desmond must have reckognized her though. It seemed like Ben did not know she was Daniel Faraday's mom though.

Terry O'Quinn Killed that scene about sacrifice. Just like Boone. So please tell me the flashes are not just the result of the broken wheel going off it's axis? Right? Right!?

Ajira Airways

2009-02-06T11:22:00.000-08:00

Ok. so perusing the Ajira Airways site I found you can make an origami box/ball type thing for a clue. Well I LOVE origami and Lost so I was up for it.

From the Adventures page:

Travel Tip: Teach your kids some origami to make the time fly by. Be sure to use your boarding pass... you never know what you might find hiding right inside. Click here for detailed folding instructions.

So I peek in with one eye closed and in the middle is "GUM"...So I Googled found on Lostepdia there was info saying that GUM is the airport code for Guam.

From Lostepedia:

The pass also has other numbers on it. The bar code is 144 47 50E, whilst 13 29 02N appears on the "Airline use" line. Using these codes as coordinates, a browser such as Google Earth can be used to show that the coordinates are for Guam International Airport. Coupled with this is the source code message from one of the website pages "Where America's day begins". Not only is this the official motto of Guam, but the words also reportedly appear on the Airport building. When the bar code is scanned by a bar code reader the following is produced: 048151623426. This corresponds to the Numbers with the number of rescued survivors appended to the end and a leading zero added

With this information, one can access the flight booking section the site and select a seat. To do so, the following information should be entered here:
Flight type: One Way
From: Los Angeles, CA
To: Guam
Departing: 1/21/2009
Select Flight: 316 11:30am
Adults: 10
Children: 0
Promotional Code: 11211411110911
Once on the page, seats can be selected using a randomized system which produces certain images. The numbers of the selections that show images are as follows; 3, 4, 10, 15, 24, 34, 35. So, for example, the 15th seat selected shows an airport lounge with "Ajira" on the wall. On the 36th selection, a completed boarding pass can be downloaded (see here). A list of the images can be seen here.
These clips are described in order from top to bottom from here : Outside of LAX; a white-out screen with N824 in black ink, behind the white-out you can see two people sitting down and the person farthest from view appears to be reading something and the closer appears to be wearing earphones; a Departures sign with Flight 316 labeled as Boarding; a female that is so far unfamiliar to the current Lost cast; a male that is so far unfamiliar to the current Lost cast; and finally a DHARMA Initiative logo that appears to be a beacon of sorts (perhaps the lantern on Jacob's cabin).

All really interesting stuff. I tried out and it's pretty easy and similar to the old Oceanic site.

I thought this was really cool. This billboard in LA has the Ajira logo as if it were under the Lost ad. Or that the tiger is ripping through, hee.

5.4 The Little Prince

2009-02-05T05:55:00.000-08:00

Another good episode. Not as good as last week but, still good even if slightly predictable.
Spoiler alert! If you haven't watched this episode, go watch and come back. Sidereel.com has several links to each episode.

Penny boat flashback, I thought it was odd how Kate included Sawyer in "the people we've lost" kinda like telling Jack, Sawyer's gone, you and me forever, with her "I've always been with you"

Sun is still acting creepy/odd and having some one followed obviously. Whoa, what's with the gun, Sun? Check out THIS screencap of the papers she was flipping through.

Daniel is always whispering and I have to strain to hear him even with the volume up.

James is being too accepting of this John leaving the island via the Orchid, bringing them back stuff. I mean yea, this is one weird Island but to just accept that just so easily? I guess he and John have a certain connection after Anthony Cooper.

I lolled when Charlotte came to and Miles was like "Good everything's back to normal" hee.

I noticed Jack said Sayid was out 42 hours. (the numbers) and also Kate's address was 42. Of course the dock they all had to meet at was slip 23.

The doctor that called Jack out on practicing medicine when he was suspended looked so familiar I thought I was making some big Lost connection but It was just Nina from Everwood.

I love Hurley but he looked funny in his orange jumpsuit.

As soon as that male nurse came into Sayid's room I knew he was a goon. Sayid has the reflexes of a cat.

I knew that light was the hatch cause it's my lost blog header!

Uhoh Miles. Nosebleeds are bad news.

Sawyer broke my heart with his silent acting while watching Kate deliver Aaron. He also cared for Claire.
Miles has been on the island, I'll bet he was that baby in the premier. Chang's son.

The finding the camp in ruins and food run out tells me this is the future. Where are Rose & Bernard. And Vincent! The Ajira Airways bottle is a big ? though but check out the site.

The canoe looked like the one Karl gave Kate and Sawyer to escape the other island but bigger.

Who are shooting at them? Could it be their future selves thinking they're someone else? Saved by the flash again.

Jack is so annoying with his "I'm gonna fix everything" stuff.

I fell for the Claire's mom is the client thinking OH, I called it! But I bet Ben is behind this coincidence.

Uhoh Juliet. Nose bleeeeed!

I think most people that follow the show, knew it was Rousseau and her team when they were French.

I recognized Jin as soon as we saw the body on the water. Glad he's alive but he has no clue about the time travel. Even if he were with Daniel and them would he be able to understand what's going on?

Ben's "He's not your son" to Kate was so Oh no he didn't cause he wasn't Alex's father but he raised her as his own.

Yea, Danielle Rousseau, not a big OMG cause it was obvious. I don't remember Jin ever meeting Rousseau one on one but he must have heard about her and saw her that time she almost took Aaron of the beach. I bet Jin will flash right outta there in a bit but I hope we get some of Danielle's story.

How many hours left now?

5.3 Jughead

2009-01-29T13:16:00.001-08:00

Spoiler Alert...........I watched it here.

This show is made of awesome.

A few thoughts on this episode, in random fashion as I didn't take notes.

I liked it a lot. I love Desmond's character and Daniel's as well.

Des & Penny's kid is really cute and I love that they named him Charlie.

I'll bet you "Ellie" turns out to be Daniel Faraday's mom and Mrs. Hawkings. She even mumbles just like Faraday.

I just knew Widmore had been on the island before....and he was always a douche.

So Richard does not age....not time traveling, just ageless...hmm. Also now it makes sense why he showed up at the hospital the day John was born in that other WTF moment. Also I know I like to call him eyeliner but I think the actor's eyelashes are just that thick.

So When they said that the woman Faraday made ill/bedridden/time shifting's name was Theresa...all that came to mind was Boone in Locke's weird dream saying "Theresa fell up the stairs..Theresa fell down the stairs" but that could just be another same name lost thing.

I wonder where Bernard and Rose were? And Vincent.

One thing I don't get..If Frogurt is dead in the 50's does that mean he ceases to have existed on flight 815? Same with all the other extras?

I wonder if the H bomb will rear it's ugly head later?

I hope Charlotte doesn't die now, I just started to like her.

When are they now?

My show is back!! Season 5 Premier Reactions. a,k.a 5.1 Because You Left & 5.2 The Lie

2009-01-22T11:12:00.000-08:00

What a trip! I think a lot of questions were answered.

SPOILER ALERT! Consider yourself warned....If you didn't watch yet...don't read on!

Here are my reactions while watching.

OMG! Halliwax/Marvin Candle! DANIEL!! Time traveling! I think the baby in the first scene has to be significant, maybe someone we know?

Sawyer's being a bully jerk. When he said not everyone's accounted for I thought he was gonna say Claire, but then I remembered John. I've been saying for like a year. WHERE are Cindy the stewardess and the kids? I guess Jin's gone but you never know.

Holy Drug planes! Those tree trunks in Hawaii are cool. I thought it was cool how John got shot in the leg (damn Ethan!) and back in season 1 his leg was giving him trouble just at that same place. "When are we?" Love it.

I bet the lawyers were sent by Ben, so Kate would agree to go back!

Sun is so chic. UH OH Ms Kwan...it's Widmore! I wonder what plan they've hatched up. I bet she blames Ben cause John/Jeremy told her Ben blew up the freighter by killing Keamy.

I'm just used to curly haired Sayid. Maybe Hurley should not walk around in a ROBE to avoid suspicion of being a mental patient. OUCH! Cast iron pan to the head....that's gotta smart. Really Hurley? How dumb was it to hold the gun looking down on the the body?

RICHARD eyeliner ALPERT! He's so mysterious.....It's the compass from when he visited John as a child! "It shows North." Ha.

More time skip flashing....Son of a....LOL the ghost of Christmas future. Love that Sawyer can still be snarky at times like these. YAY DESMOND!! Hero time.

OMG Anna Lucia! And I didn't even hate her. Lol "Libby Says Hi." Hurley's not crazy...he's a ghost whisperer!

I think Hurley should have just gone home instead of stopping at the convienence store for a shirt. Hurley's dad was watching Expose...that was the show Nikki was on. Lol..."A dart? Were you at the Zoo?" I love Hurley's parents. Get away from the door when there's cops out there Hugo!

OH so Kate meets Sun instead of Jack like we're supposed to think....Well played show.
Sun was kinda weird in this scene.

Who was that butcher lady? Don't recognize her.

It's Vincent! Frogurt's freaking out....Bye! That arrow scene was awesome. Others?

And the best line of the night....."Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?"

AWWW Jin!!

Jack needs a new car.

I FLOVED Hurley's recap of the island to his mom. Ithought she'd say "Oogo...you're nuts!" but she believed him.

I hate seeing needles going in but I love that Sayid immediately chokes Jack. Heh, just sayin.

HAHA! Hot Pockets are a weapon! I thought Ben's convincing ways had Hurley all ready to go with him.. but no....he turned himself in....He looked very sneaky like he had a plan or just happy he didnt let Ben get to him?

Who were those people ready to cut off Juliet's hand? John to the rescue.

OMG it's Mrs. Hawkings!! from Desmond's first flashing episode, Flashes Before Your Eyes. She creeped me right out. 70 Hours? Is she the puppet master??

All in all a stellar start to the season. I love the continuity and how this show screws with my head. Welcome back SHOW!

I scribbled notes while watching on note my daughter wrote, I could barely read it after but it reminded me of Daniel's journal, heh:

Season 4 Finale Refresh Recap

2009-01-20T23:27:00.000-08:00

So I watching the finale again, streaming online, taking notes during the skips, heh. This was 2 hours and damn the play by play turned out long....New season posts will not be full recaps, just commentary on the episodes....If you need to refresh your memory on what happened last....Grab a soda, and read on.

The season 4 finale starts where season 3 ended. Kate is about to leave in her car when Jack is all "We have to go back!" With his weird fake beard. (We used to call Tom, the Other, "Beardy Mcweirdy, now that's Jack) Kate hits the breaks, and gets out. She's all "Who do you think you are?!" She want's to know why he brought her the Jeremy Bentham obituary, and why he believes him. He says it's the only way to keep them safe and Kate slaps him for speaking Aaron's name, and for leaving. Kate says, "I spent the last three years trying to forget all the horrible things that happened on the day we left." She says no way she's going back.....

On the Island, Jack and Sawyer are walking through the jungle, as they do...Sawyer seems concerned about Jack's appendix stitches, which are bleeding, but Jack says he's ok. They find the Orchid, they hear the unmistakable snapping of twigs and turn around to see Hurley. They go to the Orchid and Locke is there.

On the freighter, Desmond, Michael, and Jin are trying to figure out the C4 extravaganza Keamy has set up. Apparently the bomb is connected to a radio receiver, and a car battery. And there's no way around it...this thing is gonna blow, boom.

Jack, Back at the Orchid station, questions Locke on what he's doing Locke asks Sawyer and Hurley to scram so he can talk to Jack. Jack says he only came for Hurley, and is in a hurry to get to the chopper and get off this island .

Ben is being taken by the soldiers, hands tied, when big toothed Keamy asks Ben why he's so important that Widmore would pay so much to capture him. Ben asks him if Widmore ordered Keamy to kill his daughter. Neither of them answer eachother. They get to the chopper and see Frank, still handcuffed to it tryint to break them with tools. There's s that jungle noise that means someone is approaching, when they all look around and Kate comes out. Keamy's like Who are you? She say's she's Kate and that Ben's people are after her. Keamy orders Kate to get on her knees with Ben. They all hear the creepy Others' whispering. Others come out of the jungle and kick some freighter ass. They're all down except for Keamy, of course. He goes after Ben and Kate who hightailed it outta there. Ben trips and falls but Kate helps him up. Keamy is about to catch up to them but Sayid comes out of nowhere and is fighting the big K. They both struggle for Keamy's handgun, and it gets knocked away. Then they're fighting over the knife and Keamy ends up about to choke Sayid with a branch. At the last second, Richard Eyeliner Alpert shoots Keamy in the back. Why not the head, I ask!? No one checks for a pulse!? Ben thanks Richard and Kate cuts Ben's plastic restraints and Eyeliner says he made a deal with Kate and Sayid to get off the island for their help. Kate is shocked.

Flash-forward time, Hurley's sitting at the mental hospital when an elderly black woman comes over to him. She says he knows her grandson. Hurley sees Tall Walt standing there, his Grandma says that they've come all the way to California just so Walt could see Hurley as long as he's not dangerous or anything. Hurley says he's sorry and Walt says that Jeremy Bentham visited him though. He aks why they're all lying. Hurley cautiously says "We're lying because it's the only way to protect everyone who didn't come back." Walt asks if that includes his father. Hurley says it does.

Back in the jungle again, Sawyer is looking at Jack and Locke through binoculars. Hurley thanks Sawyer for coming to get him and they share some stale crackers. Hurley asks about Claire and the baby but Sawyer doesn't answer him.

At the Orchid station, Jack is asking Locke what he wants and Locke tells Jack that wants them to stay on the island. Jack laughs at the thought. He points out all the things Locke has done and Lock reminds him that Jack pointed a gun at his head and pulled the trigger.

Locke wants Jack to stay and find out what his destiny is, but Jack's not having it and he's about to leave when Locke says, "You're gonna have to lie." He says they'll have to lie about what happened there when they leave the island to protect it. Jack says "It's an Island, John. No one needs to protect it!' Locke goes "It's not an island, it's a place where miracles happen." Jack says he doesn't believe in miracles. Then Locke hints that he's about to perform one. Ben appears and Jack points his gun at him. Ben ignores the gun with a nice to see you too, Jack and walks over to Locke talking about how he couldn't find the entrance, they go inside, pretty much ignoring Jack. Ben opens the hidden door to the elevator, then Jack asks what they're going to do. Ben tells Jack that Kate and Sayid are at the chopper, waiting for him, and that those on the beach are being ferried to the freighter. Ben tells Jack he needs to get to the freighter within an hour. Locke tells Jack once more to lie about the island. "If you do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they'll believe you."

On the freighter, Michael brings a tank of nitrogen when Sun, she has Aaron, asks Michael what's going on Michael she told anyone about the C-4, she hasn't but she asks him if they're able to deactivate it. Michael tells her that the nitrogen tank will help them disarm it. She tells him that she's pregnant, and he seems very happy for her. In the Explosion Room, Michael explains to Desmond and Jinn how the nitrogen will slow down the bomb or something, but there's only one canister of nitrogen. Damn nitrogen shortage!

Daniel arrives at the beach on the Zodiac, he tells Juliet that the first group is on the frieghter. Juliet says she'll organize the second group,and then thanks him for helping them. There's a weirdness about it for a second but that could be my imagination.

Miles and Charlotte are on the beach, Miles is eating some nuts and Rose calls him on eating peanuts without asking and says she's gonna keep an eye on him. Daniel comes up and talks quietly with Charlotte and Miles and tells them that they have to be on the Zodiac. Miles says he plans to stay. Charlotte is packing as Miles says that he's surprised she's leaving after she "spent all that time trying to get back here." Charlotte says "What do you mean, 'get back here?'" Miles is like "What do I mean?" all mysterious like.

Ben and Locke are in the Orchid elevator and it takes forever to go down. The station looks very Dharma and Ben is in a real hurry and John asks him if this is the "magic box" , very child like. Ben says it's not and avoids John's many questions by giving him a Dharma Orientation tape, # 6 of 6. The tape is hosted by "Edgar Haliwax" but it's that same guy and he has a white bunny. He goes into this thing about negatively-charged exotic matter. There's a closet type deal that they use to conduct experiments in space and time. He puts the bunny in the vault and says he's gonna send it forward as small distance along the 4th dimension. Then tape rewinds itself and stops working. Meanwhile Ben is putting anything and everything metal in the vault. Locke asks Ben, "Was he talking about what I think he was talking about?" Ben says "If you mean time-traveling bunnies, then yes." Locke says the video said not to put any metal in there...they hear the elevator and Locke asks if Ben's expecting anyone. Ben asks Locke for his weapon back. That telescoping baton thingy.

Hurley, Jack, and Sawyer are at the chopper. Kate tries to get Frank's cuffs off and Sawyer calls him Kenny Rogers. His nickname skills are slacking. He saws the cuffs off for him with a hacksaw. Duh. Jack asks Sayid if the freighter is safe, bringing up the guy who washed up on the beach. Sayid say's it's safe now. Hurley says they'll come back and look for Claire right?? Jack says yea They all get in the chopper and take off.

At the Orchid, Keamy gets off the elevator, duh he had a bullet proof vest on people! He has a knife and he calls for Ben and tells him he has a dead man's trigger strapped on his arm, so if his heart stops beating the freighter goes kabloom Locke comes up and speaks calmly to Keamy telling him that he has no conflict with him and wants him to put down the knife. Keamy's not having it but then Ben pops out and beats Keamy with his weapon, goes psycho and stabs him over and over, all while yell ing "you killed my daughter" The dead-man's trigger goes off and Lock says to Ben, "You just killed everybody on that boat." Ben pauses then coldly says "So?" Brrrrrr.

On the beach Charlotte tells Daniel that she's staying on the island. He tells her she could never get off the island and asks her why she wants to stay. She says "Would it make any sense if I told you I was still looking for where I was born?" He says that doesn't make sense (ya think?) and she laughs, and kisses him on the cheek and they say goodbye. Daniel goes over to Juliet by the Zodiac and she's also not going. She says that she staying till everyone else is on the boat. I don't know why I still don't trust her. Daniel and some other people head towards the freighter.

Back on the freighter, Michael is freezing the battery with nitrogen and Desmond has an idea but it's not gonna work. The tank shows 1/4 left. They say they have to get everybody off hte boat.

In the helicopter, Frank says the fuel is going down quick and they realize there's a hole in the fuel tank. Frank says they should go back but Jack's not having it. Jack could have totally covered that hole with his hand or something, but the show doesn't want that. Anyway Frank says to them to throw everything off the chopper to save weight, so they do and Frank says "I'd feel a hell of a lot better if were a few hundred pounds lighter." What the hell kind of thing is that to say, Frank? The camera pans right to Hurley. Then to Sawyer. He leans over and whispers something into Kate's ear. She asks why he's telling her this. He kisses her and says, "Just do it, Freckles." Sawyer jumps out and into the water....splash...he swims towards the beach.

Wooosh sound...flash forward....A guy is in his car and someone asks him the time. That someone is Sayid and he shoots the guy. They're in front of the Santa Rosa Mental Institute Sayid goes up to Hurley's room. He sees Hurley playing chess...alone. Hurley says it's after visiting hours, and Sayid says this isn't a visit. He says he's there to take him someplace safe. Hurley points out that he hasn't seen him in ages, but Sayid says that circumstances have changed. "Bentham's dead" he says. Hurley gets some specifics, that it was 2 days ago and ruled a suicide. Then Hurley asks why Sayid keeps calling him Bentham...and Sayid cuts him off and says "Don't say it" Sayid whispers to him that they're being watched. Hurley says "Dude, I've been having regular conversations with dead people. The last thing I need now is paranoia." Sayid tells him that he just killed a guy outside the hospital. Hurley's like we're not going back right?? and Sayid reasures him that he just wants to take him someplace safe. Before Hurley leaves, he stops to make a move on the chessboard. "Checkmate, Mr. Eko." he says. Whaa?? I say.

On the helicopter, Sayid says they can't find the boat, there's 4 or 5 mins of fuel left. Jack says to Kate that they'll go back for Sawyer. Hurley sees the boat and they head towards it. This bearing stuff is confusing.

Back at the Orchid station Locke is trying to save Keamy's so the freighter doesnt blow up. Ben doesn't feel the need to help him. With his dying breaths, Keamy tells Ben that Widmore will find him. Ben says "Not if I find him first." Keamy croaks and the light on his arm thingy goes from green to red. I'm thinking that transmitter shouldn't work from so far underground but whatevs.

On the freighter again, the light on the bomb receiver changes from green to red, that's always bad. Michael tells Desmond and Jin to get out get everyone off the boat. Jin stays though.

The chopper is about to land on the freighter while Desmond runs around yelling for everyone to jump ship. He waves away the chopper and Sayid hears something about a bomb. Cut to Micheal and Jin, the nitrogen is almost out. People are jumping off the boat. Sun looks for Jin. Desmond tells Jack and them that there's a bomb while Frank covers the tank holes with duct tape so he can refuel. Duct tape is the best. Kate sees Sun holding Aaron, and Kate asks her where she's going. Kate offers to go after Jin instead of her.

Nitrogen is almost out and Micheal tells Jin to go and that he's gonna be a dad and stuff. Jin says thanks and gets outta there. Up top Frank tells Jack that they've gotta go. Duh. Jack gets Kate and she isn't able to go after Jin as she told Sun. The chopper takes off with Frank, Desmond, Kate, Hurley, Sun, Aaron, and Jack. JIIIINN! He's now on the deck but Frank doesn't go back down. Sun loses it, understandably.

Back in the explosion room, the nitrogen finally runs out and Micheal hears whispers and all of a sudden there's Christian. He says "You can go now Micheal" Michael says "Who are you?" I say "What the?" and Kablowy the bomb goes off and the boat blows up. Sun loses it some more.

The helicopter kinda hovers around over where the boat sank. I'm hoping against hope that Jin jumped in time and is still alive! Sun wants them to go lower but Jack says there's no one there. and Frank says they need to go back to the island because they didn't get enough fuel. Sun is still very distraught of course and Jack's all "Jin is gone"

Flash forward time...Sun,walks on a bridge when her phone rings. It's her mom and its' clear she's babysitting Ji Yeon. Sun says she's in London and has to take care of some business. She sees Charles Widmore leaving a building and she gets him alone and tells him she is the managing director of Paik Industries. I guess Widmore knows Mr. Paik and he makes some chitchat about golfing with him when Sun says "Are you really going to pretend that you don't know who I am?" Widmore plays dumb but Sun isn't havin it. She says he knows that they've been lying. "You and I have common interests." What does she mean? She gives him her business card. "As you know, we're not the only ones who left the island." and walks a way. He asks why she'd want to help him but doesn't answer him. This scene was so good. I love Sun .

At the Orchid, Ben goes back to putting metal into the vault and Locke wants to know why he killed Keamy and caused the boat to blow up.Ben says "Sometimes good command decisions get compromised by bad emotional responses. I'm sure you're going to do a much better job of separating the two than I ever did." Ben shuts the vault door and Locke asks what he's doing. Ben tells him to duck and then the vault explodes. Ben says he has to change clothes.

Juliet is on the beach, downing some Dharma brand rum when Sawyer swims ashore. Juliet and says, "Nice day for a swim!" Sawyer asks her what she's celebrating. She says she's not, and they both look at the smoke where the freighter exploded.

Ben's putting on a parka in the orchid and he says he's going somewhere cold but that Locke's not coming with. Locke says that Jacob told Locke what they had to do and Ben says that Jacob didn't tell him how to do it, because he wanted Ben to "suffer the consequences." Locke asks him, "What consequences?" Ben replies "Whoever moves the island can never come back." Ben tells Locke go up and find Richard and the Others, that they are waiting for him and "ready, willing, and able to share what they know." I guess Locke's the leader of the Other's now. Ben says to him "Sorry I made your life so miserable." shakes his hand and walks away. Locke doesn't know what he's supposed to tell the Others to do, but Ben reassures him he'll find his way. Locke then walks up to where the Others are. They all look at him in awe. Eyeliner/Richard says "Welcome home."

Inside the Orchid, Ben goes through an opening in the back of the vault and he ends up in this icy place and he goes down a ladder which breaks injuring his arm. Ben lights an oil lamp and there's a big wheel in the wall. Ben looks up and says "I hope you're happy now, Jacob" He tries to turn it but it's frozen. He starts to loosen it with a crowbar pushes his hardest till eyeballs look like they're about to pop out. There's a loud noise, they cut to everyone hearing the noise. The Others, Juliet and Sawyer, Daniel an co on the Zodiac and everyone on the helicopter. As Ben keeps turning there's a bright light and everyone's blinded for a second then from the chopper's bird's eye view we see the Island disappear. Just like that, gone. The water ripples.

Frank says "Where's the island?" There's no where to land, Jack tells him there was another smaller island, but it's gone too. They're outta gas and they're gonna crash. Sayid grabs the life raft and they all hit the water....Jack is in the water. Kate's calling out to him. Hurley is in the life raft, Kate is holding Aaron and they all get on the raft, all except Desmond. Sayid and Hurley grab Desmond's and pull him into the raft. Jack give him CPR, it's scary for a second but Des makes it.

Flash-forward time. Kate sleeping and she hears a noise that wakes her up.The phone rings and there's a weird clicking sound and some gibberish. She then hears another noise in her house. She grabs her gun and goes to Aaron"'s room where she sees a woman beside his bed She yells "Don't you touch my son!" When the woman turns around, it's Claire! Kate asks how she got there but Clair says "Don't bring him back, Kate. Don't you dare bring him back!" ...and then she wakes up..so it was a dream? She goes into Aaron's room and holds his hand and cries that she's sorry.

On the life raft Jack asks Kate how Aaron is. Kate says he fine. She's getting more maternal. Hurley says "I can't believe he did it." Kate goes "Who did what?" Hurley says "Locke. He moved the island." Jack smugly says "No he didn't." Hurley replies "Well really? 'Cause one minute it was there and the next it was gone. So unless we, like, overlooked it dude, that's exactly what he did. But you got another explanation, man, I'd love to hear it." Go Hurley! Frank sees a light in the distance and it reminds me of Beardy McWeirdy when he took Walt fromt Jack blurts out "We're gonna have to lie." They're all Wha??? Jack says that whoever planted the fake plane found in the ocean will come after them. Kate doesn't think they can pull it off. Jack says to just to let him do all the talking. The boat comes closer, and there are guys speaking a foreign language but we hear them call for Miss Widmore. Desmond looks up and Penny shows up up top and says for the guys to throw them a rope. Desmond yells "Penny" as he climbs the ladder and she goes to meet him. They're both in disbelief and they hug and kiss. Penny does that squinty thing and explains how she got the signal. They exchange I love yous.

Desmond and Penny go to the others and Desmond introduces them each to Penny. Jack tells her that they need to talk.

The screen tells us this is one week later. Hurley and Sayid are the boat. Hurley asks the name of the place they're using, and Sayid says it's Membata. Jack and Frank drop the raft back in the water and Desmond throws a couple of boards in too. Jack asks how long it will take to land, and Frank says it should be about 8 or 9 hours: "Just long enough to give you a nice, convincing sunburn." They say their goodbyes and Penny Aaron to Kate. Jack expresses concern for Desmond, but he says that he'll be fine as long as he's got Penny. Jack tells Desmond "Then I'll see you in another life, brother." , "Aye, I guess you will." Desmond says. Jack, Sayid, Kate, Aaron, Sun, and Hurley get on the raft. they paddle with the boards. They arrive at a fishing village where people help them out.

Flash forward agian.... Jack goes to the funeral home..the one he went to last season. The door is locked but Jack smashs the door knob with a brick and breaks in. He looks at a form on top of a coffin and we figure out that it' Jeremy Bentham. Jack opens the lid, but they don't show us inside yet. Of course not. Ben calls Jack's name and scares the hell out of me. He asks Jack if "he" told him that he was off the island. I guess he means Bentham. He confirms he did. Ben asks him when he last spoke to him. A month ago he says, Kate too. Ben asks what he told him Ben asks what he said. Jack says, "He told me that after I left the island, some very bad things happened and he told me it was my fault, for leaving. And he said that I had to come back." Ben tells Jack he heard that he's flying over the Pacific hoping to crash and says "I'm here to tell you that the island won't let you come alone. All of you have to go back."Jack doesn't see that happening. He says he doesn't know where Sayid is, Hurley's carayzay, that Sun blames him for Jin's death, and Kate isn't speaking to him. Ben says he can help him with them because they have to go back together. Jack starts to leave when says "Jack, I said all of you. We're going to have to bring him, too." They both look at the coffin. And they finally show us who's in there.....it's Locke.
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUN!

Blooop

2009-01-16T15:42:00.000-08:00

Another sneak peek, this time featuring Hurley. The second hour of the premier is Hurley-centric, so Yay.

I guess this is a flash to Penny's boat and maybe a clue as to how Hurley ends up back at Santa Rosa. I see Jack is still his same assy self.

The season opener is is just 4 days away (!!) for those of you in the US. I'll watch the premier as soon as its up online, probably by Friday here. I'll post the link that works for me. I hope to watch last season's finale and post a recap to refresh our memories before that. Till then Lost fans!

Read an article on the new season here: Lost Season 5 Empire Magazine Scans
There's a great map of the island there, it really sheds some light on where everything is, relatively. Check it out.

Season 5 Sneak Peaks!

2008-12-15T21:26:00.000-08:00

The season premier is January 21, the episode is titled "Because You Left". Take that to mean what you wish. I hope it means we'll find out right away what happens on the island after it's moved and the O6 have left.

The first clip is of Jack and Ben.

I never noticed that scar on Jack's forehead before. Something tells me Ben knows more than he's saying...no surprise.

This one is of Kate and Aaron.

OMG! It's Angela Chase's dad! And he wants blood. Now I'm thinking she won't mind going back...that is if Jack and Ben can find her.

My shows back!! Ok well, in a month it will be back, but still!

Youtube to tide you over.

2008-08-07T06:08:00.000-07:00

The long wait between seasons seems endless, but we endure it in order to avoid reruns mid season. Here's a little something to tide you over. Note, seeing the video on the youtube site shows tempting related videos with season 5 spoilers. Lost is one show that is best to watch without spoilers. Consider yourselves warned.

Coming in January

2008-08-07T05:53:00.000-07:00

Hey Lost fans, this blog will launch in January 2009 with the start of season 5 of Lost. I look forward episode discussion and your theories on how this will all end.
