So, I really do not have much to say about this episode of Lost. It was better than last week, that is for sure, but it's not an episode that I cared much about.
I was very disappointed that Ilana did not kill Ben. Ben has been such a monster, that I think he is beyond redemption. He did the right thing by choosing Alex over himself in the sideways timeline, but I still don't like him. It does not make him a better person. Even if he's shown to be the good guy at the end of Lost, I'll still never like him. I loved watching how scared Ben was to be tied up and digging his own grave. That was pretty awesome.
I am glad we finally got some Richard Alpert answers. He did come over on the Black Rock and he and Jack can't die yet. The Island must still have "work" for them to do. Richard said he can't kill himself because Jacob touched him and cursed him. Does that mean all the castaways that Jacob touched can't die yet too? Amanda emailed that Jin must be one of the candidates (you know, because the debate is if Kwon is Sun or Jin) and that is why he didn't die when the freighter blew up. I love that idea!
The scene when Team Ilana was on the beach and Jack, Hurley and Richard came around the corner totally made me cry. It was such a classic season 1 reunion episode ending scene. Aah.. I miss the good old Lost days.
I don't know anything about next week's episode. I am starting to panic because there are only 9 episodes left. EEK!

Yeah - I'm totally panicked too! 9 episodes...lots to answer...it's slow getting going this season and I'm afraid they're going to vomit all the answers to us at the end. Please, no Scooby-Doo ending! Not after 5 years of great story telling!
ReplyDeleteWhat episode will next week be? Apparently, the ninth episode is a Richard episode and supposedly has a lot of island mythology so I am DEFINITELY looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about Jin not dying because he has been touched. And I guess the reason that Locke really did die is because he was already dead when Jacob touched him ... so he already used up his "gift."
I know that we are going to get somewhere soon with this season of Lost. I have faith faith faith! That's what I'm sticking with!
I stick to my Jin theory. I think it's right.
ReplyDeleteAnd (like I told you on the phone) I think the "touched" people can still die but not by their own doing.
Which is why Michael, Richard (and Jack) couldn't die but Sayid (even though he came back to life with the sickness) and Locke could ... Sayid was shot and Locke murdered and they had nothing to do with it.
Overall, I liked the episode but can't think of anything worth talking about now.
Bring on episode 9 - it sounds super good!
