LOST: Cabin Fever

Originally posted: May 9, 2008

"He wants us to move the island." MOVE THE ISLAND?! WTF? I freaking love this show. Last night's episode was pretty dang good. I could just be partial though because I love me some John Locke. I loved that we finally got to see Locke in the cabin. So much new information was thrown at us. What does it all mean?

Oh my poor little John, he was always being rejected. The island has wanted him there his whole life though. Isn't that why Alpert was in the hospital? Isn't that why he visits John with the test? It's why Mittelos Science camp in Portland wanted John. Abbadon is even the one who suggests the walkabout to Locke. The walkabout is what finally gets him on the island. The island finally wins. But why does the island want him there? To be the new leader, to be Ben's replacement? To protect it? Is Locke on the island because it's the one place he can finally be a superhero?

What happened to Claire?! Is she dead? It seems like the most logical explanation to me. I don't see how else she would be ok with just chillin' in Jacob's cabin with her deadbeat dad, especially without Aaron. She looked so calm and creepy. I've read a few interesting theories on what's going on with her. One is that she died when the house exploded, but her consciousness somehow (it's a complicated theory) kept her body alive so she could keep Aaron safe. Miles seemed so interested in her because she was dead, but neither she nor Sawyer knew it. I'm such a baby that I started crying when we saw her in the cabin. I don't want Claire to be dead! I love her. Then again I guess there's no point in Claire without Charlie. What do you think Claire in the cabin was all about?

Meanwhile back on the freighter, Michael got beat up some more. That's for killing Libby, you punk! The island is still protecting Michael though because he couldn't be shot. Someone needs to kill Keamy. That dude sucks. I think Frank has a plan and he's gonna take care of homicidal Keamy. How cool was it that Frank dropped the sat phone for them? I like that dude. I love that we got to see that one guy get Daniel's morse code message. This show is so perfectly planned out. It amazes me! Also thanks to the captain, Sayid is now off to save the day. We just can't figure out how he thinks he's going to fit anyone on that boat. No wonder only six people get off the island!

I love Hurley. As much as I dislike Ben, it was nice of Hurley to share his chocolate bar with him. You gotta love that dude. He also makes me laugh! "I'm not even in the front!" I loved this episode and can't wait to watch it again.

New questions:
* Can the island be moved? Is that one of the reasons no one could find it? And if it can be moved, how does Ben go back and forth?
* Which item was little Locke supposed to pick? Amanda says the comic book. I think so too. I mean Walt had a comic book and the comic is all about a hidden land.
* If Horace Goodspeed has been dead for 12 years, does that mean the purge occurred in 1992?
* Why did protocol B have a Dharma logo on it?
* When is Locke going to see Abbadon again? Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Being creepy looking doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad guy.
* Who hit John's pregnant mom? Was it intentional? Was it someone we know?

Next week: I don't know what it's called and I don't know who it's about. The preview looks like it might be another (groan) Kate episode. I'm also confused about how many more episodes we get. I know the season finale concludes on May 29th. I thought we were getting one hour of it one week and then two hours the next. Or are they stretching it out to three weeks? If anyone can tell me, I will love you forever!!

LOST: Something Nice Back Home

So Jack and Kate are together in the future – the future after Hurley goes to the mental hospital, but before Jack tries to kill himself and goes to the unknown funeral. I'm glad we are getting more explanations now. Jack starts his boozing and drugging habit because he sees his dead father and because he can't trust Kate. I wonder what happens to make Jack and Kate break up. I'm glad they do break up eventually because neither dictator Jack nor liar Kate deserves to be happy. Is the "I saved you" scene the end of the relationship? Jack is so damn cocky. Get over yourself. I wanted to slap his drunk face when he was going on and on at Kate. You'd think he wouldn't be threatened by Sawyer anymore. I mean the dude is on an island that no one can find. You won, Jack, you got to take home the skank and try to make an honest woman out of her.

Future Hurley is creepy. That whole scene with him and Jack was just plain scary. Why does Charlie keep visiting Hurley? Is it even really Charlie or just a version of Jacob (if Jacob can shape shift)? How crazy was it that Charlie's message was "You're not supposed to raise him, Jack"? Just like the psychic told Claire that no one but her should raise the baby.

The whole appendectomy storyline bored me. What was the point? Other than to have Rose question why Jack got sick. Is it because he's unworthy? I think so. I mean the island heals everyone else. The island might be trying to tell Jack that leaving it is not such a good idea. It was kinda nice to see Julibitch and Kate getting along. But I don't like either of them, so I got no pleasure out of Julibitch being friendly and telling Kate that Jack loves her. Blah blah blah

Sun and Jin traveled to the medical station with Daniel and Charlotte. I don't know what it is about the red headed liar, but I can't stand Charlotte. Amanda and I figured out immediately that the bitch could speak Korean. She looked at them one too many times. I love Jin for figuring it out too. He was so badass threatening to break all Dan's fingers! Why did creepazoid smile after Jin told her that Sun needed to be taken off the island with or without him?

I can't believe Rousseau is really dead. I refused to believe it until we had actually proof. I'd say her dead body is proof enough. I hope the writers keep their promise and we'll actually get to see her back story at some point.

Once again, Sawyer proves he is THE MAN. I love this whole taking care of Claire and Aaron side that's emerged from him. Where did Christian take Claire? Why did the leave Aaron? I hope they show her again. I am going to need to grieve for my Claire if they kill her off. Amanda's theory (which I love) is that Sawyer doesn't leave the island because he can't find Claire. So he sends Aaron ahead to be safe. He feels responsible for her since Charlie is gone and he's gonna do whatever it takes to find her. I love Sawyer!!!

New Questions:

* Jack knows he's related to Aaron. How does he find that out?
* Miles could see Christian. Does that mean he's really dead? Why was Miles brought to the island? What murder or history does Widmore want him to unveil?
* The newspaper Jack picks up that mentions the Yankees/Red Sox baseball game is from August 30, 2007. I suppose this explains why Aaron looks so much older. So how much further in the future and when is the season 3 finale? I am getting so confused. DOH!
* Why is Hurley seeing Charlie and Jack seeing Christian? Are they feeling guilty about actions taken on the island? So guilty that they are channeling them into being there, even when they aren't?
* What was Kate doing for Sawyer? Why didn't she just tell Jack? I think it probably has something to do with his daughter and she went to see the baby mama.

Next week's episode is called "Cabin Fever" and is a Locke flashback. YAY! I heart Locke.

LOST: The Shape of Things to Come

Originally posted: April 25, 2008

Oh man.. Where do I start? When last night's episode began, I was a little bored. A Ben episode? Please. I can't stand the man. But when Lost is over and he turns out to be a good guy and save the day (I don't know if this will really happen, but for some reason, it wouldn't surprise me), I'll take back every bad word I've ever said about him - unless he kills Penny. If he harms a hair on her blonde head, we're gonna have words.

Ben and Widmore have some kind of twisted history. What the hell are the rules? Did they have a falling out and each agree to leave the other alone? Ben would get the island and Widmore would get what? Then something happened to make all that change? It was really cool to finally see some interaction between those two. I am so mad at Ben for threatening to kill Penelope. I do feel badly for him because Alex was killed. It was nice to see Ben actually be human. But he just can't hurt Pen. Penny and Desmond have to live happily ever after!

Ben controls old Smoky? Holy cow! That was the craziest thing I have ever seen. What exactly did he do in that little secret room? Has Ben been responsible for every Smoky death then? How did he pick and choose who to kill? Does he just send it out and tell it to get rid of anyone who poses a threat to the island? If that's the case this gives me one more reason to hate Ben. He killed my Mr. Eko!

I am so glad that we now know why Sayid has gone to work for Ben. Poor Sayid. He finally gets Nadia back and she gets murdered. Here's my question though – Ben sure had a big smile when Sayid said he wanted to help him. Did Ben manipulate Sayid into working for him? Could he have had Nadia killed, pretended that the tall dude did it and blame it all on Widmore just to get Sayid on his side? That seems like Ben's m.o. to me.
So I think it was weird that the gunmen shooting at Sawyer were able to kill the nobodies so easily, but couldn't catch my boyfriend. Is it because Sawyer had a gun and is just that good at dodging bullets? Or was it that they weren't really trying to harm that beautiful man? My favorite thing about Sawyer is that he acts like a big hardass, but that man has got mad love for his fellow islanders. He's just a big softie inside. I love that he's taking care of Claire now. Someone has to now that Charlie is gone. I also love how quickly he took up for Hurley. Sawyer would've shot Locke too. He wasn't playing. Hmm.. Sawyer makes me swoon. Oh and I am so glad that Claire is ok. Well, at least she is for now.

New Questions:

* Who killed the doctor from the freighter? Why did Daniel lie about the morse code? (How cool was Bernard calling his squirmy ass out? Oh yeah, Bernard rocks!)

* Daniel says "when is pretty relative." Did the message say the doctor was fine b/c he hasn't been killed yet? Time on the freighter and the island are two very different things.

* How the hell did Ben get from the island to the desert in a parka? He seemed very disoriented when he woke up. Maybe he left in the "black box."

* When are they gonna get to Jacob? What is he going to tell him? Why is Hurley the one who can find him? Is it because he's a little crazy?

* What do all the carvings on the door of Ben's secret Smoky room mean? That crap was creepy!

Next week's episode is called "Something Nice Back Home" and it's a Jack episode. Rumor has it a certain member of Drive Shaft will in it.. YAY! LOST

LOST: Meet Kevin Johnson

Tonight’s Lost was a waste of time. The questions I really wanted answers to were not answered. So Widmore is really the big bad, so Michael is definitely working for Ben. How funny that Sayid was so quick to judge Michael for being Ben’s underling, when in the future that becomes his role. Bastard! -- Amanda and Missy are helping with this blog. Amanda says," This episode of Lost sucked and the previews for next time sucked too. They just showed people’s faces. HELLO!" Missy figured out how Michael got on the boat. Okay, that’s the end of their contributing. --

Michael’s guilt is eating him up. He can’t kill himself because "the island won’t let" him. Tom told Michael he had work to do. This is not the first time someone has been told this. In face, Walt told Locke that when he was going to kill himself. Who’s in charge of all this work? Ben? Widmore? God? I think that it is Michael in the casket because once he gets off the island for good, his work is done and he can finally kill himself. Maybe it’s that he has redeemed himself by helping the Oceanic Six get off the island, so then Michael can die.

I think it’s interesting that the ghostly whisperings were heard off the island for the first time. I am also glad to know that Walt made it safely off the island and isn’t dead. (That was my theory for about a minute. I thought it explained his appearance to Locke.)

The big death twist was Karl? Come on now, do we really care about Karl? I’m sad for Alex, but I’m not invested in Karl. Thank goodness it wasn’t my Claire. Rousseau cannot really be dead. How are we ever gonna get her flashback if she’s dead? I am hoping the island heals her as it has Locke countless times. Lost sucks if we never get her back story. That’s all I can say about that.

New Questions:
* Here’s one of the things that confused me – when Michael is in the hospital, there is clearly a Christmas tree outside the hospital room. How is it Christmastime? I guess they hadn’t been on the water very long before Naomi crashed-landed on the island?
* How did Widmore and Abbadon get the freighter crew together so quickly? Mr. Friendly (I knew he was gay. Remember he told Kate she wasn’t his type? Ha ha ) told Kevin the freighter would be leaving from Fiji in a few days.
* How did Miles know Michael’s name isn’t Kevin? Is he not just a dead communicator? Is he just a psychic?
* Again with the lists? Ben is driving me crazy. How did people make it on the list?
* How does Mr. Friendly go back and forth? They obviously have money if he can stay in the penthouse. Why do only some people get to go back and forth? How are the special ones determined?
* Is Ben really one of the "good guys?" The eternal question..

How will we make it until April 24th? How am I going to wait until 9 pm every Thursd

LOST: Ji Yeon

Originally posted: March 14, 2008

I said I wasn’t going to read any more spoilers. I wish I had been telling the truth. I read yesterday that Jin’s was a flashback and Sun’s was a flash forward and that good ole Jin was dead. Man, I wish I hadn’t have known that. Last night’s episode would have been so much more enjoyable if I’d had no clue. Oh well - shoulda, coulda, woulda. I liked the episode though, even though my beloved Jin got killed off. I guess the Lost killing off DUI actors tradition still stands. Oh how I miss my Mr. Eko!

So, where do I start? Michael’s back and it was meant to be a huge shocker. Maybe if the producers hadn’t included Harold Perrineau’s name in the credits since episode one of season four, then we’d all be more surprised. I loved the scene where Sayid and Desmond "meet" Kevin Johnson/Michael Dawson. Badass Sayid seemed a little surprised (which is cool because that man is never rattled), so surprised the he stuttered his own name. They were still able to act like they didn’t know each other though. What a cool scene. I can’t wait till next week so we can find out what Michael the monster (I will never forgive him for killing Libby!) has been up to all this time. Maybe we’ll find out where Walt is too.

Sun is worried about the baby and she knows Juliebitch has a history of lying, so she wants to go to Locke’s camp. She’s freaked out by the Freighter folks and doesn’t think she’ll get off the island if they stay where they are. The loving Jin says, "Wherever Sun go, I go." I love that man! So the Kwons would have just wandered off to Locke’s camp, if it hadn’t been for Juliet. (While I am glad Sun gets off the island and has the baby because of Juliebitch, I still hate that manipulator.) Too bad Juliet had to pull a Ben and break Jin’s heart to keep them on Jack’s side of the island. I hate her for telling Jin about Sun’s affair. His face when he found out just broke my heart. I was yelling at the tv when Juliebitch told Jin. (Joey now thinks I am crazier than crazy.) My favorite moment: when Sun slapped the crap outta that terrible slutface Juliebitch. I HATE Juliebitch! It was so great to see her get what was coming to her. Thank goodness Sun and Jin made up. It was so hard to watch them fight. I just love love love those two.

In Jin’s flashback, we realize he is not getting the panda for their baby. He’s brining it to a Paik contact. We also find out he’s only been married two months and it’s 2000. Sun’s flash forward has Hurley coming to visit and meeting little Miss Ji Yeon. (I’m so glad Sun makes it off the island and has the baby!) They go to visit Jin and he’s dead. I can’t believe Jin is dead. How sad. This scene made me cry. So Jin’s tombstone says 9/22/04, the day of the Oceanic crash. What does that mean? Did he die on the island and it was easier to say he died in the crash? Is he still alive on the island, but they have to pretend he is dead for some reason? Oh so many questions… my head may explode.

New Questions:

* Desmond and Sayid got a "Don’t trust the captain" note. Does that mean the captain is lying about the cabin fever? About the black box? About working for Widmore? Why would he give all that information up so easily?

* The captain wants Ben. Did Ben stage the crash? We know he can travel on and off the island and must have some kind of access to amazing resources. If he did it, did he do it to keep people from looking for flight 815? To keep the island safe?

* Where did the 324 bodies come from?

* I can’t remember, so someone help me out here, have Desmond and Michael ever met? I don’t think they have.

* Jin’s date of death is the day of the crash. So does he stay on the island? Does he die on the island?

* Why is Hurley go to Korea? Did he go to meet the newest Kwon? Since Jin’s tombstone was already up, it’s not like he was there for the funeral. Why did he ask if "anyone else is coming?" And why was it "good" that no one else is? Does this flash forward take place before Hurley ends up in the mental hospital?

* Who’s the final Oceanic Sixer? We’ve got Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, and Sun. Jin must not count because he "died" the day of the plane crash. Does that make Aaron number 6? Or did someone else get off the island?

* How can they say Jin died the day of the crash? Sun got pregnant on the island. If Jin died September 24th, then wouldn’t the time for the pregnancy not add up? They were on the island for awhile before she got knocked up.

Next week – "Meet Kevin Johnson" is Michael centered. We’ll find out what happened after he and Walt sailed away from the island. Plus Libby is back. WOO HOO! I loOoOOoOve Libby. Oh and someone is going to die. Who do you think it will be? Will we find out what happened to Jin or will it be someone else? Please don’t be Claire!! After killer Michael’s episode the show will be off until April 24th. Six more weeks without Lost... How will we survive again?!

A little spoilery... don’t read if you don’t want to know…

What to expect for the rest of the season:

Episode 9 - "Bakir" - Sayid Centric
Apparently this episode will be a Sayid flash forward that will show what event was used to convince Sayid to work for Ben. Bakir will be the first person Sayid is required to kill for Ben. He also noted that we will see Abbandon at some point in this episode, The way he worded it to me though made it sound like they would mention or show a picture of him, and that the actor wouldn’t actually appear. (Ummm… didn’t we already get a Sayid episode?! Not fair!)

Episode 10 - "The Outlier" - Ben Centric.
I am not sure about all the math stuff posted in the rumor that also confirmed the same name of this episode that my friend gave me. However, my source said this would be a Ben flashback that will focus on filling in most of the blanks on his time on the island. Most of the episode will be spent in flashbacks not in real time. Apparently it will show his actions right before the purge, an earlier encounter with Jacob, and the beginning of the pregnancy problem, which will include Annie dying in childbirth. (Ben sucks.)

Episode 11 - "Untitled" - Locke Centric
Apparently during episode 10 Ben will reveal some information to Locke off camera and the two will head off somewhere unexplained. Similar to the Brig, this episode will fill in the blanks about where they are headed. Locke will learn how his father ended up on the island and this episode will show the re-appearance of the rest of the others who have been in hiding. Harper will be in this episode and i guess it is now safe to assume to Alpert will be in this episode. (Yay! I heart that crazy old bat John Locke!)

Season Finale - Ep 12/13 - Jack Centric
This will be a Jack flashforward showing how he got from his state of mind in Eggtown/the beginning of the end to how he ended up in through the looking glass. We will learn who ended up in the coffin and will jack’s beginning efforts to come back to the island mirror the real-time events of him leaving the island with the rest of the "Oceanic 6". (Oh joy, a king Jack episode.) ---- source: http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/

Where’s the Sawyer episode? Or Claire’s? UGH! Damn writers strike…

LOST: The Other Woman

Originally posted: March 7, 2008

Yawn.. A Juliebitch episode is a Juliebore. Juliebitch's storyline just doesn't interest me much. I don't really see that we learned too much from last night's episode. Juliet was in therapy and doing the therapist's hubby. Reason 457,291 to dislike that home wrecking hussy. Ben further proves his psychotic-ness by declaring Juliebitch "mine!" Goodwin was intentionally sent to the Talies in the hopes that he would be killed. How could Ben know Goodwin would be figured out and killed? The man is pure evil, but his manipulation skills always amaze me. I guess it comes with the evil territory.

How could Locke still be so stupid as to let Ben further manipulate him? I think Charles Widmore definitely has something to do with the island. Maybe he's trying to find it to make sure Desmond never leaves it or to make sure Penny never finds the island/Des. I don't think Widmore is looking for Lost island to exploit it like Ben claims. That's not a good enough reason and the answer was given so easily. Lost doesn't give up important information that easily! The video even seemed a little staged. Who was the man in the blindfold in the video? I looked at close-up screen caps today and I still can't tell. It may not be anyone we know yet. And yes, Widmore may have hired the Freighters, but I still haven't figured out why. Daniel and Charlotte proved they aren't trying to kill everyone with the gas though. So bonus points for them.

My favorite parts were when Kate got bonked on the head, getting to see Hurley and Sawyer, even though it was for like a minute, and when Ben told them he'd see them at dinner. The looks on Hurley and Sawyer's faces were priceless. Ha ha ha I don't blame them though because Ben scares the hell outta me too. So now that Locke has let Ben go free, how long will it take for his group to turn against him? As much as they want to have faith in John, they'll never be on Ben's side. Once again, Ben has manipulated himself into getting his way. Damnit!

New Questions:

* So now we've seen the Tempest station. The one Goodwin was in charge of. The station that he had to keep regulated so the gas wouldn't kill everyone again. Is Ben in anticipation of another purge? Is that why he keeps that station around?

* Again, we come back to the lists. What do they mean? How does Ben, Goodwin or anyone else decide who is "worthy" to become an Other?

* "You look just like her." Harper tells Juliebitch. Who does she look like? Alex's "mom?" Annie? Ben's mom?

* After creepy whispering, Harper appears to Juliebitch in the woods. Jack sees her too, but then Harper disappears. Is she dead? Is that how she can appear and then disappear so easily? Or is Harper just the form Jacob took to try to control Juliebitch?

Next week is Sun and Jin's episode. We find out the last two Oceanic Six (geez, I wonder who it is), someone dies and Michael's back. It should be good!

LOST: The Constant

Originally posted: Feb 29,2008

Lost is this big puzzle and every week we get a new piece, sometimes it fits perfectly and sometimes it makes me throw out an earlier piece because there's no way that one can fit anymore. The puzzle won't be completely solved until the show ends. That is what's so great about it! Last night's episode was a major puzzle piece. I knew it was going to be good because Desmond episodes always are. No one else can pull off that scared crazy eye thing that Desmond does.

I love that Desmond and Penelope finally got to talk. Whatta great scene. I almost cried. So time off the island and time on the island is the same. Desmond tells Pen he'll call on December 24th, 2004 and he does. I'm confused again. I thought time in the real world would be ahead of island time, since time there passes more slowly.

The whole jumping back in forth and time thing was so cool. Desmond went back 8 years. That's one of the numbers! So it's possible to change the future by changing the past. Does that mean when Desmond jumped back during the purple flash he could have changed everything if he hadn't walked away from Penny again? Would no one be on this island now? Every action has a consequence. We know all the Losties are intricately connected. Just another crazy Lost tangent for me to go on..

So George had the same time traveling sickness thing happen to him. I wonder if this is what happened to Rousseau's crew. She said they all got sick and died.

Ooh.. Ooh.. Watch with Kristin says, "Eko's stick said, 'Look north, John 3:05' and that Frank's heading was North 305." How cool is that?! I love Lost!

New Questions:

*Wow... the Black Rock… I wanna read that journal. How was it found 7 years later somewhere else? The captain's last name was Hanso, as in the Hanso Foundation! WTF? Also the lot number for the journal was 2342 – the same as the numbers Desmond gave Daniel.

*You know Charles Widmore is playing a major role in the whole island thing. What is it? Are the Freighters working for him? Is that why they aren't allowed to answer Penelope's calls?

*Widmore bought Hanso's Black Rock journal. Did he somehow get Desmond to crash on the island on purpose? Was Libby working for him? Is that what she was doing in the mental institute with Hurley too? I don't think anything or anyone is on that island by chance. Someone has orchestrated it all.

*Why were the boat guys so mad at Frank for bringing Sayid and Desmond there? What do they know? What are they trying to hide? Who's their captain? We still haven't seen Regina.

*So was the Dharma Initiative doing time travel research? That would account for all the strange animals on the island. They raised them and then used them in experiments.

*Who destroyed the communication equipment? Locke? Frank? Ben's guy on the inside? Why?

*"If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant." – Oh man, so that means something bad is going to happen to Daniel? He's kinda growing on me. Is he gonna be affected because he was exposed to lots of radiation during his time travel experiments?

*At the end, Desmond seems to remember Sayid. Does that mean he's fixed because he talked to his constant? He won't die and he'll remember everything. I hope so because I can't handle a dead Desmond.

I'm ready to watch the episode again to see what I missed.

Next week is Julbitch's and it's called "The Other Woman." All her flashbacks take place on the island. Maybe we'll learn some major stuff. Oh and it looks like Kate gets hit on the back of the head with a hammer.. ha ha ha I can't wait to see that!
