I seen a bunch of really funny and cool fan-made Lost videos in the past few days. I just had to share them.
Because as David pointed out, the island is obviously the Hellmouth. We just need Buffy to come rough up Flocke and everything will be all good.
What if Miles and Sawyer had their own cop show??!
Lost + Superbad = HILARIOUS!
Sawyer and his nicknames..
Dude!

LOST: Ab Aeterno
BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 6 SO FAR!!! I love love love Richard Alpert! We got answers! We didn't have to sit through another lame sideways story. We got 6 extra minutes of the show! HUR RAH!
We finally got Richard's back story. We now know the statue was broken by the Black Rock. This was a cool way to answer two questions at once. The island exists to serve as a cork, as a way to keep pure evil out of the rest of the world. This is what I've been waiting for.. answer, answer, answer!
This episode had several scenes where previous episodes dialogue was repeated. When the Man in Black freed Richard he told him it was good to see him out of chains. Just like he did as Flocke at the beginning of this season. Also the part where Richard talks about them all being dead and in hell is just like when Anthony Cooper told Locke they were in hell. The trippest scene repeat was when MIB told Richard he had to stab Jacob with the dagger before Jacob spoke. It's word for word what Dogen told Sayid to do to MIB/Flocke/Old Smokey (whatever you want to call him.) It made me wonder if Jacob and the MIB switched places somehow. Or maybe they can both only be killed the same way. Or maybe not because Jacob did talk before Ben stabbed him..
It looks like our friend Sayid is really gone. It was sad when he told Flocke he couldn't feel anything at all anymore. I liked the "Ghost" moment when Hurley spoke for Isabella to Richard. I'm glad we got to see what Jacob told Ilana her job on the island would be. It was also cool to see Jacob assign Richard his role as island go-between. This makes me question how much Richard knows about the island though. It doesn't seem like Jacob gave him much guidance. That sucks because then Richard is no better than Ben, who just did stuff because he was told to but without any real understanding of why or what was going on. Richard must have gained island knowledge just by residing on it.. Oh and from being 140 years old! I've always assumed Alpert had ALL the island answers though.
I still wonder why Widmore has come to the island. Is he Team Jacob or Team Flocke? Is he there to try to take Jacob's place?
I read one recap that mentioned how Richard looked directly at Jack and said, "You're dead," which seemed to indicate that specifically Jack was dead. Then Richard said that they were all dead and in hell, but I think the Jack look could have been significant. I've always thought Jack's "he walks among us, but is not one of us" tattoo was important. I also think that someone we have always viewed as a good guy is going to be revealed as a big bad guy. (It's the only significance I can find in the Nikki and Paulo episode. Nikki was on a tv show where her boss, who was the show's hero, ended up being the bad guy behind the whole deal. That was there to tell us something!) Plus, David and I have long held the theory that Jack was not in the plane crash. He wakes up so far from everyone else and he says that he blacked out and woke up there. Anthony Cooper also mentions blacking out and then all of the sudden he was on the island. Anthony was brought by the Others to the island. Maybe Jack has been dead this whole time. So I think somewhere down the line we're gonna learn Jack's not a good guy. Thoughts?
Next week is a Sun and Jin episode. We better get their happy reunion! We've only been waiting forever for it!

LOST: Recon
The best thing I can say about this episode is that it was a Sawyer episode. Woo hoo! Hot, shirtless, cop Sawyer! I continue to be frustrated with this show though.
The sideways timeline is boring. The point of them needs to be revealed soon. It better be something amazing. And it had better be worth putting up with these yawn inducing moments. I liked Sawyer as a cop. I liked that he and Miles were partners. I liked seeing Sawyer watching "Little House." Ha ha ha I didn't like that Charlotte was back. Yuck! (P.S. Are we getting NO Faraday this season?! I guess dead really is dead.) Charlotte works with Miles' dad at a museum. So that means Pierre Chang/Marvin Candle/Edgar Halifax stayed with his family and sideways Miles grew up with his dad. Sawyer's parents still died and Anthony Cooper is still to blame. Maybe this world is the world where Jacob touched the castaways. The island timeline could be what happened without Jacob's touch. The only problem with that theory is that Hurley and Sayid were both touched after the plane crash... Since Sawyer is a cop, he was being genuinely concerned when he told Hurley to be careful about telling people how much money Hurley is worth. Though I am confused why Sawyer helped Kate escape at the airport. That's not a very cop thing to do.
The island storyline aggravated me. More new characters?! REALLY?! At least we learned they worked for Widmore. I'm glad Widmore has finally arrived on the island. I think this will help the story progress more quickly. So Sawyer tells Flocke one thing and Widmore another, but ultimately all he wants is the submarine. He's gonna take him and Kate off the island. I loved when he visited the cages and held her dress. He still loves Kate! Eff Juliet! Crazies moment of the night - Sayid sitting there calmly while Claire attacked Kate. That is so not like our ninja Sayid! I guess the infection has completely taken him over. I love Claire, but I still liked the part when Flocke slapped her. That was unexpected. It was cool that we got some Flocke backstory about his crazy mom. But that only brings up more questions too. New major question of the week: What/who is in the locked room on the submarine? Hopefully, it's Desmond!!!
Next week's Lost looks promising. I am so excited that Richard Alpert is getting his own episode. I also gave up and read several Lost spoilers. (I just can't handle not knowing stuff.) It seems like some good stuff will be coming up. There are only 8 episodes of Lost left...

LOST: Dr. Linus
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!

LOST: Sundown
Well, I was wrong and this week was not a Sun and Jin episode. We got a Sayid one instead. I normally love me some Sayid, but this episode was just okay. "Sundown" did get pretty crazy at the end though and that was cool.
Sideways Sayid is not with Nadia. Sadly, she is married to his brother. This was really disappointing. It's good that Nadia is still alive in this one, but what's the point if she can't be with Sayid? This flash was boring, so I'm not spending much time on it. Especially because any questions I ask are not going to get answered. The Lost writers must think the viewers enjoy being strung along with more randomness. I was not expecting Keamy to show up again, so that was a surprise when he was revealed as Omar's loan shark. I love that sideways Sayid is still a badass and killed old white trash Keamy face. Jack was in the hospital hallway and Jin showed up in the closet. So the island folks continue to show up in each other's lives.
At least a few things got answered in Sayid's island timeline. Dogen told Sayid that he killed his son in a drunk driving accident and Jacob gave him a chance to save his son by coming to the island. Since Dogen's son got to live if Dogen left, this must be mean the two separate timelines always exist. Jacob must seek out people who are seeking redemption or looking to correct past mistakes to come to the island. Dogen also talked about the good and evil in everyone and how one side outweighs the otehr. I guess that explains the white and black rocks on the scale.
Old Smokey didn't die when Sayid stabbed him. I didn't see any blood on the dagger when Flocke handed it back to Sayid. So Flocke is invincible and bloodless? And he's evil incarnate? Dang, I was still pulling for Flocke to be the good guy. The coolest part of the hour was when Old Smokey let loose and started killing everyone in the Temple. When he passed over Kate, she got a calm look on her face. Has Flocke managed to pull her to his side? I always knew her evil outweighed her good. It looks like loony Clairousseau is going to kill Kate. I'm glad we got some Miles time because I love him!
Lost seems to just repeat itself over and over again. Sayid and Flocke's interaction in the jungle was very Locke and Ben. Remember when Ben asked Locke what if he could have anything he wanted (via the box) in season 3? Remember Ben saying whoever was coming on the freighter wanted everyone one the island dead in season 4? Remember the Others instructing Hurley to deliver a message at the end of season 2?
I liked the end with the Temple destruction because things are finally starting to happen. People are choosing sides (Miles with Team Lapidus and Kate with Team Flocke) which means that some action is going to start. The big battle that this has all been leading up to is finally beginning. I'm ready for some people to start dying. I figured Lost's final season would have a higher body count. Next week's episode is called "Dr. Linus." Ben-centric = boo There are only 10 episodes of Lost left. I sure hope some awesome stuff starts happening.

LOST: Lighthouse
WTH, Lost, WTH?! In the nine months I waited for Lost to come back, I spent a lot of time envisioning the final season. It did not look like this. I thought we'd get some trippy Lost-like stuff and then BAM! answer, answer, answer. I want to know what the island is, who Adam and Eve are, who Jacob is, what Richard's backstory is, why the Others speak Latin, why Widmore tried so hard to keep Desmond and Penny apart, where Des and Penny are now, why the Others took Walt, why Walt is special, was Locke special, why can't the Others have babies, etc. etc... I could go on and on. I am very frustrated with Lost because we only have a limited amount of time left. I want answers to come and not all be thrown together in the last few hours. Ok, deep breath, rant over...
In the sideways flash, Jack has a son who is a piano genius. His name is David. Lost likes to re-use names. Other significant Davids - Libby's dead husband, Hurley's dad, and it's Desmond's middle name. Other significant piano players - Jack, Ben, Daniel and Charlie. I don't know if his son's name will be important though. I am mad at Lost because they showed Jack having a son, but of course did not tell us who the mother is (Light bulb moment! Is this why other How I Met Your Mother fans get frustrated? Because on that show, I don't care who the mom is at all. I'm there for the gang's adventures. Maybe I should apply that feeling to Lost.) Maybe who David's mom is doesn't matter, but it certainly bugs me. I think he's too old to be Jack and Sarah's kid. Jack tells David he used to read Alice in Wonderland to him. Jack read that book to Aaron in the other timeline (season 4, "Something Nice Back Home," the appendectomy episode.) I think this is significant because there's a Lost theory that this whole show is someone telling a story to a kid. That kind of makes sense because Jack has mentioned that his dad was a great storyteller. Jack himself has read stories to both Aaron & David. This whole thing could be Christian reading a bedtime story to Jack. It could work because the story always changes when a parent tells a child an ongoing bedtime story. I know Christian is going to play a significant role in the end game. I do think the story idea would be pretty disappointing, like the St. Elsewhere/snow globe ending..
In this timeline, Jack had his appendix removed when he was 7 or 8, but he can't remember it. This must be because the island timeline is meshing with this timeline. He seems very confused by the scar and how it got there. Another time Jack looks deja vuy (yes, I made up a word) is when his mom asks about Claire. Is Jack starting to remember his island life? Jack doesn't seem to be an alcoholic in this timeline either. This storyline pretty much bored me though, so the only other weird thing was when Dogen was at the conservatory with his own son. What's up with that?
In the island timeline, Jacob appears to Hurley and sends him and Jack on a mission. Jack goes because he wants to talk to Jacob. How many effin times are the Losties going to trek through the jungle to find Jacob? SERIOUSLY! Jack has become the new Locke. Uh-oh, scratch that because that would make Hurley the new Ben. I didn't hate this part of the episode. Like Hurley said their journey was old school, just like old times. I am nostalgic for season one when Lost was SO GOOD and everyone was all together. I am tired of having the characters all split up. Every episode should be all Hurley all the time. He cracked me up playing tic tac toe with Miles. I loved his samurai comment, his Obi Won Konobi one and his all around Hurleyness. It was really cool to see Jack and Hurley end up back at the cave. Yay for Hurley mentioning that maybe the skeletons were them. And for bringing up dinosaurs again! I also like that Kate wasn't invited to the lighthouse. It's probably because she isn't a candidate. Kate has changed thought because season one Kate would have followed Jack and Hurley anyway.
The lighthouse is freaking awesome. The wheel has the same names and numbers on it as Jacob's cave wall. It looks like the same names are scratched out here too. It was cool when the wheel got to 23 - Shepard it showed Jack's childhood home. So Jacob has been watching the candidates the whole time. I wonder if the mirror is showing the no-crash timeline. Maybe Jack was looking at the house at the exact moment his mom said Claire and he got the deja vu look. If I was Hurley, I would have been pissed at Jack for smashing the mirror because I would want to see what showed up at my name and number. Who is 108? Is this wheel part of how people get called to the island? Did Jacob want the mirror broken so that #108 cannot come to the island? What do you think the lighthouse wheel is? Is it a way to watch everyone before they come to the island? And to watch them when they leave the island? Who's coming to the island??
In Clairousseau news, we find out she was taken to the Temple and tested like Sayid. She even has a brand to match his. She also seems pretty damn crazy. I know we were always supposed to see Rousseau as a crazy, bu I never did. I just loved her badassness. I do see Claire as crazy though because we've seen her normal. The bone baby in the cradle was scary! I'm glad Claire remembered Jin and helped him. I was pretty worried he was going to bleed to death though. Ick! Claire thinks the Others have Aaron just like Rousseau did. Does the island keep repeating the same scenarios over and over again but with different people playing the roles? Claire's been hanging out with Flocke and calls him her friend. Now the question is: does she know Old Smokey is in Locke's body or does she see Old Smokey in another person's form? Perhaps she sees him as daddy Christian? Either way, they want to go to the Temple, so I guess Claire and MIB are the big bad on the island set to destroy the Others and the Temple. I'm also wondering if everyone at the Temple is going to die, what will happen to Sayid?
As frustrated as I am with Lost, I've come too far to give up on it now. I'm sure I left a lot of stuff out, so mention it in the comments and we can talk about it. Next week's episode is called "Sundown." Sun's name has been in the title of her and Jin episodes before, so maybe it'll be a Kwon-centric episode. Fingers crossed that it will be.

LOST: The Substitute
Whoa... I had to watch Lost twice before I could even attempt to blog about it. Locke episodes always tug at my heart strings. I only cried once this time though. I'm not even sure where to begin. Let's start off island..
Locke arrived home from Australia and couldn't get out of his van. So he ended up flopping out of it and his wheelchair. He landed face down in this front yard and then the sprinklers came on. I felt so bad for John because once again something humiliating happened to him. But then Locke smiled and it was just like on the island when he would happily sit in the rain. I can't even tell you how freakin' excited I was when Helen opened the front door and came to John's rescue. I LOVE Locke and Helen! Even though I hate that John is still in the wheelchair in this timeline, at least he is marrying the love of his life. It was so great to see them back together and Locke in love. This version of John Locke wouldn't have wanted to crash on the island. The scene where he rips up Jack's card and Helen says the only thing she was waiting for was him is the one that made me cry. It was so sweet, but also sad because it doesn't look like Jack will be fixing Locke. I had really hoped that is where the Locke/Jack storyline was going. It was also sad to see that our man of faith doesn't believe in miracles here. Oh and Locke's dad is invited to the wedding. Is that biological dad Anthony Cooper? My theory is that he had a decent foster dad and that who is coming to the wedding. No way it's his bio dad, right?!
The coolest thing about the flash sideways is that the Oceanic passengers still interact with each other, even though they didn't crash on the island together. As soon as I saw the yellow Hummer parked too close to John's van, I knew it was Hurley's. Hurley seems so happy and together without that dang curse over his head. His heart of gold remained intact too as he offered to get Locke a new job. Then Locke encounters Rose at Hurley's temp agency. To help John come to terms with his limitations, Rose told him about her cancer. So she still has terminal cancer in this timeline. Rose, my dear, if you are dying, why the hell are you at work?! Your husband's a dentist, you can certainly afford to take the time off. If I was dying the first thing I'd do is quit my damn job! Rose said her name was Rose Nadler. In the original timeline, she didn't take Bernard's last name. Her name was Rose Henderson. It's probably not significant, but it's something I noticed. Locke ended up getting a job substituting teaching. He rolled into the teachers' lounge. Who's in there bitching about coffee filters? None Other then the evil Benjamin Linus, history teacher. Ben introduced himself to Locke and John got the biggest smile on his face. Did a part of him recognize Ben? If he did, why in the world would he be smiling about it?! Maybe Ben and Locke were always meant to be friends and can be in this timeline. All the things evil Ben were working towards don't exist here. He could be a completely different person this time around.
Now in 2007 back on the island, Ilana collected Jacob's ash, Ben lied about how Jacob died, and John Locke got buried. If Locke has to be dead, I am glad he's buried on the island with the other lost castaways. Then this group decided to head to the Temple. On the interesting side of the island, we get to see things from Old Smokey's perspective. How awesome was the shot where Smokey/FLocke was zooming around Dharmaville and we got to see the smoke reflection in the window of Sawyer's house?! FLocke tried to lure Richard to go with him by promising answers. I never thought Richard had any questions about the island. I hope we get the back story on Richard and FLocke's relationship soon. I also hope we find out who the creepy bloody kid is. Him showing up was very drenched Walt shows up and talks to Shannon. FLocke then headed back to the barracks to "recruit" Sawyer. They trek thought the jungle and the blonde Other kid appears again. FLocke is surprised that Sawyer (not James! Stop calling him that FLocke-face!) can see the kid too. Is it significant that Sawyer can see him too?
Here comes the crazy stuff... FLocke took Sawyer to a cave in the side of a rock. There's scales with black and white rocks. I wonder if Man in Black and Jacob once spent time here deciding people's fates. Inside the cave, there is a wall with names and numbers on it. Many names have been scratched off, but 8 remain for sure.
4 = Locke 8 = Hurley 15 = Sawyer 16 = Sayid 23 = Jack 42 = Jin or Sun
All Oceanic Six members, with the exception of Sawyer who almost made it off the island and Kate who didn't make the wall. Do people get crossed off when they die? Losteastereggs.blogspot.com has screencaps and a list of names that are on the wall. Among them are Burke, Littleton, Pace, Linus, Goodspeed, Lewis, Faraday, Straume. This show freakin' blows my mind! I have been questioning Lost and been lost for so long, that I don't even recognize answers when they are in my face. I was complaining that we are still answer-less when my friend Rachel pointed out that we know why they are on the island and what the numbers mean now. I know that seems true, but I have a hard time believing what anyone on the island says. Should we trust Old Smokey? We've been had so many times by people/creatures on this island. Do you think FLocke was telling the truth? Were the castaways really brought to the island to be candidates for Jacob's replacement? How did he know he would soon need a replacement? Maybe I should stop over thinking and take whatever happens at face value.
So my new major questions are:
- Will Sawyer and should Sawyer go with FLocke? Is Sawyer just playing along, so he can find out what Old Smokey really wants?
- Why wasn't Kate's name on the wall? Could it be because she left the island with Aaron and then tried to raise him as her own? That's my theory for why she's not on the wall.
- Who was the kid FLocke saw? Young Jacob? Aaron? ? Who was the kid referring to when he said, "You know the rules. You can't kill him?"
- Why did Ilana collect the ash? Was it for protection?
I do not know anything about next week's episode. Clairousseau was in the preview though, so it looks like we'll learn more of her story. Woo hoo!
Locke arrived home from Australia and couldn't get out of his van. So he ended up flopping out of it and his wheelchair. He landed face down in this front yard and then the sprinklers came on. I felt so bad for John because once again something humiliating happened to him. But then Locke smiled and it was just like on the island when he would happily sit in the rain. I can't even tell you how freakin' excited I was when Helen opened the front door and came to John's rescue. I LOVE Locke and Helen!
