6.1 & 6.2 LA X

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?
