So that mark on alterna-Jack’s neck is back and rather more prominent this time. Surely it has some connection to the other universe and perhaps in the next [and last ] episode he’ll get a mark like that?

Desmond’s plan seems to be going pretty well in the alternate dimension; he’s made Ben remember stuff by punching him, just like he punched him before. He also seems to have some recollection of Alex; or perhaps he was simply touched by the thought of being a father-figure.
Hurley is clearly completely aware of the island timeline since he recognized Ana Lucia, and Des has freed Kate, Sayid & himself. I assume he’s getting them to do something before everyone meets up at that concert thingy?

Oh, and Jack’s ex-wife is so gonna be Juliet.

Richard’s probably still alive; he only got thrown a little distance (for tv stunts, anyway) and he’s most likely still immortal.

I appreciated the answer as to why Kate had been crossed off; I had been wondering about that, and why they were there full stop. Jack’s the new Jacob, God complex and all and Desmond is a failsafe (I thought of the failsafe key, myself)… which Lock is gonna use to destroy the island; unless Jack gets in the way somehow…

Something that’s been bugging me though: I can’t help but wonder about the “Rules” between Widmore & Ben. Back in season 4, in the episode where Alex gets shot, Ben visits Widmore’s place and when replying to “Have you come here to kill me Benjamin?”, Ben replies “We both know I can’t do that” and then goes on to say that he’s gonna kill his daughter — Penny; well, he didn’t get around to doing that, and for Desmond’s sake that was a good thing….
But, in this episode, he just kills Widmore? Okay, what he said after made it slightly more acceptable — “He doesn’t get to save his daughter”. Did he just break the “rules” because Widmore already did?

Well, next up is “The End” – on Sunday; 2.5 hours of well, hopefully… awesomeness. And then it’ll all be over.

/

Well, it seems as though Mocke has finally shown his true intentions — to kill all the candidates; perhaps everyone who is on the island. Whether that’s what he has to do in order to get off the island, or just because he wants to, it seems clear he has evil intentions – right in line with our initial opinion of him.

In this episode he managed to kill off 3 main characters (perhaps 4, we don’t know about Lapedus, though I think it’s likely he’s gone too). Sayid redeemed himself by running off with the bomb in order to save others. Unfortunately, Sun got trapped, Jin maintained his promise to never leave her and they both drowned!

Kate’s been shot — though seemed perfectly fine on the beach miraculously. I’m still curious as to why she isn’t a candidate… she isn’t the only one who’s killed — Sawyer has and he is a candidate.

Before Sayid runs off to sacrifice himself he tells Jack that he’s gonna need Desmond and when Jack asks why he’s telling him that, he responds with “because it’s going to be you.” — Somewhat cryptic, but I assume Desmond told him that Jack is going to be the Candidate and he’ll be able to help somehow. Plus he was the only one who knew about Des and we need to see him again!

Ben, Richard and Miles — Where’d they go? Was it them who put the C4 on the plane or Widmore?

Alterna-Jack said “I think you’re a candidate” to Locke. Heh. Locke was dreaming about pushing the button & said “I wish you had believed me” — what he wrote to Jack in his suicide note. Later, when trying to convince Locke that he can help, Jack says “I wish you believed me”; it almost seems as though Locke remembers something then. Interesting parallels, that’s all.

Well…. there are 2 episodes left then the 2.5 hour finale! It was originally planned to be just 2 hours, but I guess they crammed so much in it got extended. Awesome. But sad.
Next week’s episode is called “Across the Sea”.

/

…it really seemed to advance the story quite a bit.

First off, this episode was entitled “The Last Recruit” — having watched it, I’m not exactly clear on who that’s about…. Jack joining team Mocke, perhaps Desmond getting Claire on board in the alternate world? I don’t know.

Anyway, Sun an Jin finally met up, that was rather nicely done. She’s fine and the baby too, in the alternate world. They are of course taken to the same hospital everyone has been to this season — including Locke. When Sun’s being wheeled into the hospital she starts freaking out when she sees Locke next to her… I assume she had some realization of the island timeline and was afraid of him since he’s the smoke monster…?

Of course, it had to be Jack who gets called in to do the surgery on Locke; upon seeing his face Jack says “I think I know this guy”. It’s probable that he’s just remembering him from the airport, but I suppose there’s a chance he’s remembering Locke from the island.

Both of the zombies, Sayid & Claire (okay, I’ll admit, Claire isn’t really a zombie but, I digress) seemed to show some inkling of a personality in this episode — Sayid clearly didn’t kill Desmond like Mocke asked him to and Claire had a brief moment of relative sanity with her bro, Jack. Perhaps Sayid does indeed have feelings still.

So, according to Claire once Mocke has spoken to you you’re on his side; hmmmm. That would make, erm, everyone on his side. Surely it can’t be that way.

There were some surprising character contrasts — Jack having complete faith in the island; to the extent that when he left it, he felt as though part of himself was missing… causing him to jump off the boat and swim back. Also, Kate saying we have to go back to the island! Admittedly, I’m guessing she’s just saying that because of Jack, but still.

Mocke speaking of how pathetic Locke was felt rather cruel, though it was quite funny that he was saying it to Jack who, it seems, is on the island for that reason alone — he has faith.

I assume Desmond knew that Jack’s lawyer was looking for Claire and that’s why he took her there? If so, I’m wondering how he knew that!? Either way, it was all very coincidental.

Oh yeah, there isn’t an episode on next week, in 2 weeks time there’s “The Candidate”.

/

“Sayid ain’t invited, he’s gone over to the dark side”
“Yeah, but you can always bring people back from the dark side… I mean Anakin”

Charlie! Faraday! Desmond! Penny!

So, Desmond is special; something we’ve known for a while, but we don’t know why or in what respect really. From this episode it seems as though being special in Lost is having the ability to survive huge amounts of electromagnetism (which he’s done in the past) and that would fry a normal person (literally, as we saw).
Somehow then, when exposed to large amounts of electromagnetism, his consciousness is affected (yet again, we’ve seen this before), but this time his consciousness is sent to the alternate world; a world where he’s Widmore’s best aide but doesn’t have Penny and is instead assigned with babysitting alterna-Charlie.

Whilst there he meets George, the limo driver, who was of course Minkowski; the communications dude from the freighter, Daniel Faraday Widmore; who is a musician in this dimension and yet woke up and wrote some quantum mechanics that gave him the idea that this isn’t their real lives and that he might have already set off a nuclear bomb, and Penny; after Charlie or the MRI machine allowed him to see his love from the other timeline just as Charlie did.

Sooooo…. I wonder what Desmond wants the 815 manifest for? And who he needs to show it to? He said “I just need to show them something.” Hmmmm. *See end*

Also, when Desmond regained consciousness (after only a few seconds, apparently), he seemed to know exactly what Widmore’s plan was and wanted to go along with it, but then why did he go with Sayid so willingly?
I assume Widmore’s plan, other than to get rid of the smoke monster, is also to sort out the fact that there are two different realities, and that one shouldn’t exist??

Elouise still somehow knows what the fuck is going on in the other timeline and says Desmond can’t go looking for Penny because he’s not ready yet…. WHA? Also, “Someone has clearly affected the way you see things” she says to Desmond…. and then “This is a serious problem. It is, in fact, a violation.” WTF? A violation of what?

Widmore had a painting of a balance scale with white stones on one side and black on the other, LOL; he’s always had interesting stuff in his office before, but this one was definitely shoved in our collective faces.

/

Oh yeah, next weeks episode is called “Everybody Loves Hugo”… there was an ep in season 2 called “Everybody Hates Hugo”, FYI.
*Additional thought* It’s just occurred to me that Desmond is probably referring to the passengers of 815 as “them” and that he’s likely going to show them what Charlie did him — a glimpse into the other dimension? Thoughts?

Despite being called “Sundown”, this episode was a Sayid-centric episode and the episode name was of course referring to the fact that the everyone at the temple had to make a decision by sundown. A lot of them chose to stay and got fucked up by the smoke monster.

It was quite difficult in the beginning of the episode to place which side Sayid was on; clearly though, he’s on the dark side with Mocke, and apparently, Kate too. It was quite weird that he tried to kill Locke though, had the darkness not grown enough by that point?

There wasn’t a great deal of questions brought up in this episode, its purpose seemed to be simply for us to see the temple get attacked, something they’ve been telling us would happen for a while now. Still, I’m not sure that everyone will be happy with the sides they’ve chosen (or forced into). It’s likely that those with Mocke will not be rewarded by getting off the island or getting whatever they want most.

Keamy was back for a little while in the alternate timeline and he has Jin in a freezer for some reason… Hmm.

I suppose island-Jin is still in Claire’s shack or limping around somewhere, but I wonder where Sawyer is? Last time we saw him he was in the cave with the names and it seemed he had also joined the ‘dark’ side.

Meanwhile, Ben, Lapidus, Ilana and Sun come to the temple to rescue people like Jack & Hurley; neither of whom are there so they settle for Miles and go hide in some hidden section of the temple.

Next weeks episode is called “Dr. Linus”… and if that isn’t a Ben-centric episode I’ll find one of those metaphorical hats and eat it.

/

Ben looked genuinely afraid when he backed away from Sayid

Well… that was pretty uneventful. Turns out Kate doesn’t do a great deal

So, Sayid’s been claimed by, erm, “darkness” & island-Claire too. Well, that’s that dude’s theory anyway. It seems as though the infection is somehow associated with the Temple; assuming this is the same thing…. Doesn’t really make sense though there are certainly more pressing questions that will hopefully be answered.

It’s rather weird that people seem bound to do similar things in the alternate dimension-thing… Claire has to raise her baby, Ethan is the one injecting her with drugs, Claire somehow knowing what to call her son…

Claire was stupidly trusting of Kate considering she just had a gun held at her and the taxi driver [who valiantly ran off ]. I suppose it’s related to the fact that they still seem connected somehow.

Sawyer was understandably down in this episode and it had him resenting ‘Sayid’ or who/whatever that is…. Unsure about what exactly Kate was crying about on the dock though. There’s multiple possibilities.

Attempting to poison ‘Sayid’ — why not just come out and kill him? They can’t possibly pass off giving him the tablet and claiming it was a mistake he died. Seems pretty stupid. Either way they’d lose whatever small amount of trust the Losties have for these randomers, who are yet to explain themselves in the slightest.

I wonder why it’s so important that Sawyer returns to the temple..?

Something strange about this episode: the date on Claire’s ultrasound was 10-22-2004; The Oceanic 815 we’re most familiar with crashed on 09-22-2004…. Hmm. I wonder how that happened?

Here’s hoping next week’s “The Substitute” is a little more action-packed… or WTF-packed….. [Can I hope for answer-packed?]

/

“You’re not a zombie, right?”

So, Juliet said “It worked” — did it? Barring Juliet herself [:(], they’re all alive on the island. Yet they’re also all alive on the alternate-Oceanic 815; as are some people who died on-island i.e. Boone & Charlie…. Hmm

Like last season’s premiere, it’s certainly an episode that needs others to explain what’s happening.

There were quite a few differences on the alternate/plane side of things; Hurley being lucky for one, that’s the exact opposite of the Hurley we know. It seems as though Jack knows something’s a little wrong, just based on how he looked closely at himself in the mirror. Dunno what that’s about at this point, but none of them seem to have conscious knowledge of their alternate life.

One of the strangest things about the alternative-dimension (whatever it is…) was that the island is deep underwater….. (But there’s still a Dharma shark swimming around). Very odd indeed.

Ruh Roh, Hurley's wearing red :S

Hurley was quite awesome in the beginning part of the episode. Providing a laugh too with his inability to use the gun.

Is that Sayid or is it Jacob in his body?? Either way, ending the episode with him saying “What happened?” must’ve had a lot of people thinking ‘Good question’.

So…. They’ve got a lot of explaining to do with just the stuff they introduced in this episode. Let alone the stuff from other seasons. Next weeks episode is called “What Kate Does”

Hmph. Well, I’m eagerly awaiting next weeks episode; and I’ll certainly be thinking some more about this episode… Hopefully next weeks episode will clarify the situation a little. Until then, then.

/

As I expected, this episode definitely had that penultimate / finale lead up kinda mood going on. The finale music score even showed up towards the end.

It looks as though…. Well, I’m not entirely sure how to end that sentence. I don’t read spoilers; it’s much better when you don’t, and therefore I have no idea what is going to happen in next week’s (yes, next week’s [lostpedia was wrong! yay]) finale – “The Incident”.
It’s your standard 2 hour season finale and presumably Jack, Elouise, Richard and Sayid are gonna try and detonate the H-Bomb…
And Locke, for reasons I cannot comprehend at this moment, is off to see Jacob. So he can kill him.

Pretty odd, really. As for Juliet & Sawyer; well, it wouldn’t be Lost if there wasn’t some kind of love-triangle/quadrangle/shape going on. So, Kate gets thrown on the sub too.

Of course, those two hours next week will not be long enough…. And we’ll be left hanging; over a cliff, if you must, for many months until the last and final season of Lost comes on next year. Hmph.

So. Will the H-bomb be set off? And the whole storyline be reset to 2004 with them all still on the plane? Will they all die? I don’t think that’s too likely, even though Richard said he watched them all die…. Very difficult to say.

Anywho…. A mere few days until the finale, so until then I’ll leave you to your own predictions. I’ll certainly be writing a post about next week’s episode, that’s for sure.

Spoilers follow if you haven’t seen it.
DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!

One has to wonder whether Sayid just seriously fucked something up there or if nothing they do matters.

After all, he did just SHOOT BEN!

Other than that, it was a fairly uneventful episode.

The title for the next episode - ”Whatever Happened, Happened”  hopefully means we’ll get some answers. If you recall, that’s what Faraday said a few episodes ago now. Firstly, hopefully we’ll find out what happened to Faraday…. and also whether Sayid just broke time.

It’s still quite difficult to see where the rest of this season is heading… Though, at least it seems to have settled back into the flashback interluded Lost that we’re all used to. I wonder what Sayid’s gonna be up to, too.

That woman who got Sayid onto 316 — she genuinely doesn’t seem to be working for Ben…. Who is she working for??

Not much else to say, I feel. Till next week with Whatever Happened, Happened then.

/

Spoilers follow if you haven’t seen it

Something about this episode made it feel… Transitional. That’s not a bad thing. It’s important to set the scene and get people in place properly. It was a pretty good episode overall.

As I predicted, Locke, Sun, Ben, LaPedus and the 316 survivors are in a different time, well, decade to the Oceanic 5 (srsly, where’s Aaron!?) and Sawyer etc.,

I wonder where Daniel went? They brushed over it but hopefully it’s one of the questions that will be answered. And I’m still hoping to find out what he was doing at the Orchid station as seen at the beginning of the season.

They did a really good job of casting the young Ben. Sure, we’ve seen him before but he seems to have developed some of his more sinister characteristics already. His eyes. It really does look like him.

What would the hostiles have done if they found out where the Swan was being built? Surely they would have found out when building started anyway??

Christian Shepherd saying “You’ve got a long journey ahead of you” to Sun was interesting. As was that whole scene. Was there something to the smoke in the background?
I wonder whether it’ll be Sun (and hopefully Locke & Ben) who go back in time somehow or Jack, Kate… Going back to ‘their’ time zone.

I’m also curious as to who boarded up Dharmaville? It wasn’t like that when Ben left.

Juliet, Sawyer AND Kate; that’d be awesome. At least in my head; minus the Sawyer, but it makes more sense as a sentence to have him there.

Looks as though Sawyer will have a hard time trying to get Sayid integrated with the Dharma initiative…. I wonder what’ll happen with him.

This episode needs moar Locke! I hope he’s gonna be seen in the next episode (which is entitled “He’s our you”).

I’m sure I had more things to say after I watched this rather good episode, but it’s been a few hours since I watched this and the majority of it was written on my iPhone whilst I was in the car. Also, I have a headache, so this is all you’re getting for now. Crazy sentences about Sawyer included.

This was a much slower, character building, back-story filling episode. Appreciatively, this is not a bad thing, but it means I have to put more thought into writing this post rather than just writing questions that have occurred to me whilst watching [how inconvenient ]…

Oh and before I get started I should mention that there isn’t an episode on next week — see the counter on the right for how many days till your next Lost fix —->

The way this episode started was cool. It was a very efficient way of switching between the previously and the actual episode that made it immediately clear where the episode was going to start.

Was the statue that they saw during their brief time flash the 4 toed statue from Season 2? It was certainly careful to not reveal anything about the ancient history of the island — though I really do hope we get to find out something more about it in the future (or rather the past…).

After that, there’s another time flash — this time caused by Locke putting the wheel back on its axis and stopping the time flashes for the foreseeable future.

Turns out, we’re in 1974.

Oh and Hai, Michelle from 24. Watch out for people also out to kill David Palmer in the future [p.s. Charles Logan's behind it all!]

Anywho…. back on topic.

To be honest there isn’t a great deal more to say — Richard walking into their camp Locke style was pretty cool.

And the end of the episode suggests that the love quadrangle isn’t as sorted as this episode may have implied — not that I thought it would be.

Which island / time zone are Sun and Sayid on / in? and for that matter, Lock & Ben…?

Overall, it was a nice episode in which not a great deal happened. I’m hoping for a more exciting episode in two weeks time.

/

For reasons I’m not entirely sure how to describe, I thought this episode was epically awesome.

The Oceanic 65 are back on the island!…. or at least, 3 that we know of made it there.

On that note…. what the hell did Kate do with Aaron!? Yeah, the kid is probably a bit of a production headache, and Claire told Kate to not take him back to the island…. But I hope we get an explanation of what happened to him…. Him and Sun’s baby who she doesn’t seem to care about right now.

Clearly that bloke who was at the airport and spoke to Jack and was then on the plane is going to play a larger part in the future story…. he just seemed so conveniently placed.

Another thing I’d like explained – How did Hurley know to go there? Somebody dead from the island talk to him again?

I really hope we get to see more of Locke in the time when he’s off the island. And, though I haven’t watched the trailer for the next episode, the name for it perhaps implies what it will be  about.

Ben had a good line in this episode: Jack: “How can you read?”. Ben: “My mother taught me”

I also liked Jack talking to Locke.

Anywho… Sayid. Did he attack Ben and get arrested for it? If that’s the case then why does that allow him to be on the flight?

Jin and the rest of the people on the island — stuck in Dharma-time since Locke replaced the wheel?

Didn’t expect to see Lapidus again. His reaction to seeing the Oceanic 5 was cool — “We’re not going to Guam, are we?”

Anywho…. ’twas a very good episode and it left me with little to say, which is quite strange really.

/

Spoilers follow if you haven’t seen it

I can’t think of a great deal to say about this episode….. and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. It was an ok episode…. but it definitely had the feeling that it’s leading on to bigger things.

Charlotte’s dead! I’m sure lots of people don’t care. But I had warmed to her character, especially with Daniel’s feelings for her…. it’s a little sad. And she confirmed that she was born on the island.

Still… there’s every chance that she’ll be seen again since it’s Lost.

As for Ben…. he’s one step forward, but two back. He’s got Sun on his side but now he’s lost [pun not intended] Kate & Sayid… and he is yet to go after Hurley.

Ben’s little rant in the van was good; Michael’s an amazing actor in my opinion; and you’re never sure of his intentions as a character.

Desmond had a small role in this episode…. but he’s now found Faraday’s mother…. and found out that it’s that old woman who told him about ‘course-correction’ waaay back in season 3!

Now that Locke has moved the wheel (or put it back on its axis)…. do you suppose they are stuck in whatever time period they were in last? That could be interesting….. perhaps explaining Faraday in the first episode being in the same time as Dr Candle when Dharma was in full swing?

Anyway… since I can’t think of anything else though I know there is more, I’ll leave you with this:

“Say hello to my son.”

“Who’s your son?”/

Frankly, this episode was niiice. I thought it was good to be away from the ‘main’ plot of Jack, Kate, Sayid….. getting back to the island for an episode.

Though, I guess I may be in the minority in thinking that. A lot of people, I’m sure would rather have resumed that storyline from last time.

But, this episode offered some interesting revelations:

Widmore. He was on the island! I always suspected this due to his extreme interest in the island, but it’s nice to know more about his past. We still can’t tell why exactly he was on the island — he doesn’t appear to be part of the US military / army who were there to test the H-bomb; especially as it seems that Richard’s people have killed them all off. And it should be more interesting to find out how he ends up off the island with no idea how to go back and a life long desire to do so.

I don’t think Charlotte will suffer the same fate that Minkowski did, and that Desmond nearly did. At least, I hope that she doesn’t. Initially I was unsure about her character, but it seems that she has some interesting stories to tell. Especially with that hint that she may have been born on the island. Also; she seems enough of a major character now to not be killed off so close to her introduction.

Will Desmond meet anyone we know in Los Angeles (Jack? Kate? Ben? — that might spell trouble for Penny). It’s weird, because both Penny and Desmond seem to be under the impression that Widmore is out to get them. Yet I don’t see any reason for him to do so & we know that Ben has more of a reason. Am I missing something?

According to what I’ve read, the ‘enhanced’ version of the Lie (episode 2) which gets shown after the normal showing in the US revealed that Ms Hawking’s [the old woman who knows about time who talked to Desmond and more recently, Ben] first name is Elouise. Sound familiar? That mouse that Faraday had was named Elouise. And, the girl that was holding a gun pointed at Faraday for a large point of this episode was called Ellie!

Could that be Faraday’s mother? After all, Desmond was told that she was in Los Angeles — where Ben is, with Ms Hawking [the old woman :p]. At this point, it’s looking fairly likely!

Thought it was nice that Penny & Des’s boy was named Charlie.

Anywho…. that’ll do for now, I’m sure that I’ll think of something more to put here later.

/

It has to be said, it looks like it’s gonna be an EPIC season of Lost.

I’m glad Desmond features heavily in it; I was wondering how much we would see of him (even if the bits in the trailer seem to be old footage).

I’ve seen a theory that events on the island in that trailer (Juliet uncovering a window in the ground & Daniel being confronted by a guy in a yellow suit with a gun) could be that the island has ‘reset’ to a time in the past and therefore that the window is the hatch (from season 2), and the guy is Kelvin.

It’s possible for Lost, I suppose. But I don’t know how likely it is…. especially as Lost is often far from predictable.

Your thoughts on the trailer? (including The Fray)…

So, Jacob wants to move the island…!?!?!?

Without realising it was true, I kinda got the feeling that this was a pre-finale episode since it had the feeling that it was setting up for something big to happen and there was a small segment of their finale music.

So, this coming week it’s the first part of the three hour finale followed by nothing and then the 2 hour season conclusion the week afterwards. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about that *shrug*

The Christian Shephard thing got a lot more interesting this episode – not that it wasn’t more prevalent in the previous episode; I just couldn’t be bothered to write about that episode.

What was with Claire just sitting there in Jacobs’ cabin with Christian – it was really creepy. Is she dead? It doesn’t seem like here to leave her baby. This is clearly setting up the story that will result in Aaron getting off the island with Kate.

The fact that Richard showed up twice during the early parts of Locke’s life is very interesting — how did they know Locke was a person of interest? Because he survived at such a young age and then an 8 story fall?

He’s always the same age! WHAT THE HELL!?

I genuinly expected to see Abaddon (the ‘orderly’ with Locke who has some weird connections) in Jacob’s cabin when he said about how when they run into each other again; Locke’ll owe him one.

It’s weird that it now appears as though Locke was selected from the beginning (of his life) and that they knew his plane was going to crash on the island.

Very confusing stuff. But also awesome stuff.

I thought Sayid going back to the island would be when the Oceanic 6 were going to get back to the boat; but at the moment, they’re not all in the same place!

Also, I wonder what will happen to Desmond — understandably, he doesn’t want to go back to the island…. but what happens to him? Does he get back to the real world or does he [reluctantly] go back to the island? He wouldn’t be counted as an Oceanic member & therefore wouldn’t get much publicity — perhaps he too is off the island with the 6?

So…. there certainly is a cliffhanger. Did Ben know that would happen to Rousseau, Alex and Karl. I don’t think so. So who shot the two of them and could shoot Alex? Could it be the freighters who have returned to the island on the helicopter…. Who knows.

Tom’s gay. I think we knew that since whenever he said to Kate “You’re not my type”.

And the island is keeping Michael [and presumably Jack, now I think about it] alive using its mysterious, gun-jamming powers. Michael’s back story was pretty interesting. Did he survive getting run over in the past in order to get to the island? [or is that too detailed of an explanation? perhaps it was just so he could have a backstory... ]

Was Sayid doing the right thing turning in Michael to the captain? Probably not I-MO, Widmore now seems worse than Ben(ry).

And, speaking of Widmore, the logistics of faking a plane crash must be horrible – how come no-one has found the paper trail of that plane he bought? Presumably Ben prefers it that way too – it is better for the public to think that the plane lies at the bottom of an ocean rather than it being missing – it prevents more people from looking for it.

Well, I think that’s all that was interesting from that episode.

/

Happy Easter btw.

Only 32 / 33 / 35 days from today until the next episode (depending on how you watch it).

*Goes to look for trailer fot next episode*

[space of about 2 minutes]

Ooooh…. coool.

aaand…. JIN DIES Well, he has been drink driving…. But, I don’t think that is what’s behind him being killed off [not this time...?]

Having both a flash forward and a flash back running in the same episode was used very well in order to conceal the fact that Jin is no longer present in the, well, the present… Clearly then, Sayid and Desmond’s friend on the boat was Michael and he is presumably the saboteur for reasons that aren’t exactly apparant.

Can’t really predict where the 8th episode will go – though, I suppose it wasn’t supposed to serve as a mini-finale. All I know is that there is a cliffhanger in it which I suppose would have been resolved by the next weeks episode BUT, due to the writers strike and the fact that they haven’t recorded any more episodes, we’ll have a long wait for episode 9 I don’t remember whether its been said when it will come back on.

I severly hope that next weeks episode is good.

/

Edit: Is Jin actually dead? Thinking about it now, I’m not sure.

Also, its not too long of a wait for the 9th episode – it shows on April 24th.

I am, as usual, referring to Lost. [whilst sitting here procrastinating]                                  

The premiere of season 4 was great and I posted about it, episode 2 was OK….. nothing special (though better than 4) and 3 brought back the awesomeness again….. but 4 – I didn’t like it. It felt like a filler episode.

Some spoilers follow for those that haven’t seen episode 4

Yes, there was some more questions posed (AS BLOODY USUAL! but if you want answers, go watch something else). OK, so it appears that Kate now has Claire’s baby…. slightly unexpected[and I shall not claim to have seen it coming because I didn't], but not really an amazing twist in the story, nothing like Sayid now working for Ben I-MO.

But, other than that I thought the rest of the episode was completely pointless. Why did Kate have to ask Ghostbuster dude whether he knew who she was in that manner? They just spent a bloody while walking across the island together during which time it would have been much more sensible for her to ask!

But, of course it was just a way to get the two together so he could ask Ben(ry ) for 3.2 million dollars. Which, was slightly strange and the fact that Ben commented on it was appreciated. However, he didn’t seem outraged by that request so it seems that he is able to comply. Which adds to the question of who is Ben really??

So, are we to expect a good episode next week? If the pattern continues, yes. I really hope it is. Hopefully we get to find out what happened to Desmond and Sayid…. And maybe, just maybe we’ll find out who Ben’s spy is on the boat – - as the writers seem to think its important by making lots of people ask Ben who it is on screen. [I personally don't see what difference it makes to them - he could just reply its Steve...] So, clearly the spy is important Michael perhaps? Since he has been credited for this season which in itself was quite a spoiler

Anywho, really ought to be doing some work…

But, I won’t end up doing any.

Incidentally, I could just go look up that guy’s name, but I’d rather call him Ghostbuster dude, y’all know who I’m talking about.

spoilers follow

So… Sayid is one of the Oceanic 6 – now we know its Kate, Jack, Hurley & Sayid…..2 more to be discovered.

What an ending – it was great. And the beginning was pretty good too…. I really didn’t expect him to kill that dude.

But, more importantly HE IS NOW WORKING FOR BEN!!!!!!! as a murderer OMGWTFPOLAR!?

sooo, who the hell is Ben? Why does he have so many different passports and different currencies hidden away? Who is that girl’s boss? and the others on the list? why does he want them dead? why is Sayid doing it??

All very interesting stuff….. but still more bloody questions.

Nice to see that some people have their priorities right too – Sawyer doesn’t have anything to go back for and he is sensibly not wanting to leave the island…. Perhaps he isn’t one of the 6

I’m sure that I missed loads of stuff from that episode so will have to watch again soon (not that I need another excuse)
