SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE THEN JUST STOP RIGHT HERE. NOT THAT I’LL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU MUCH ANYWAY, BUT STILL. GOOD IDEA TO JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE CAUGHT UP. OR JUST READ IT. I DON’T CARE. YOUR LOSS.
Last night’s 6th and final season premiere of LOST was exactly what I expected.
No, I didn’t expect Jack’s plan to work (And not work? At the same time?)
No, I didn’t expect Desmond to be on Oceanic Flight 815.
No, I didn’t expect to see all that shit at the Temple.
BUT, what I DID expect, was to have no clue what was going on. Which I don’t. So I was totally right. Right?
Click here for a recap of the episode. This site covers every detail of the show, and I mean EVERY detail. Like the fact that “The seat layout inside flight 815 is 3-4-3 and it is only available in B747 or A380. But when it lands on LAX, it is a twin engine plane which resembled a B777 or A330.” Needless to say they’re pretty thorough.
I won’t be posting my theories about where this season is going because I don’t want to waste your time. I have no clue where this is going and chances are you don’t either. What I will do is post a weekly reaction to the previous night’s episode with my 3 favorite things, 3 questions, and 3 things to watch for.
3 Favorite Things
1. That the 1977 crew (Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Miles, Hurley, Jin and “Sayid”) are now in 2007 along with the Aljira peeps (Ben, Sun, Ilana and my favorite character Frank Lapidus), the Others (Richard, Cindy, Emma, Zach, Kenny Powers’ brother and the ninja), Dead Jacob and Monster Locke. Makes it much easier to watch when everything is happening in the same time period and this sets the stage for some CRAZY shit to go down. And for Jin and Sun to be reunited. I’m soft like that.
2. That we get to see what will/would have happened to the Oceanic passengers had the plane not crashed. Jack fixing Locke’s spine? Sawyer conning Hurley? Kate kidnapping Claire? The possibilities are endless.
3. That we get to see what has/does/will/would have happened to everybody else had the Island been blown up in 1977. Desmond never crashes on the island, and perhaps completes his race, then finds himself on Oceanic 815 briefly (he is special and can travel through time so I don’t put much stock into where and when he is). Ben and anybody else on the island at the time of the incident (Widmore, for one) probably doesn’t exist. Perhaps Hurley really is a lucky guy and it’s because the Island never existed during his lifetime. It’ll be interesting to see it all unfold.
3 Questions
1. How did Sayid come back to life? Is it really him or did Jacob or the Monster take his form? If so, why did they use his real body instead of a duplicate body like the Monster did with Locke. If not, did the water save Sayid or was it the Island? Does Jacob control the water? Is it dirty because he died?
2. How was Desmond on the plane? Was he really on the plane? Where did he go? Why was the flight so similar to the original 815 but so different at the same time (Desmond being there, no Shannon, subtle differences like Cindy only giving Jack 1 bottle as opposed to 2)?
3. Will these 2 realities (2007 w/Island and 2004 take-2 w/o Island) converge? And…where the hell did Christian’s body go???
3 Things To Watch For
1. Jack had that cut on his neck when he was on the plane. Seemed important.
2. Desmond. He isn’t credited in being in this episode and it has not been announced that he will be in any more. Still, he has always been extremely intricate to the storyline so hopefully he will have a significant role.
3. Black powder. Obviously it is the Monster’s kryptonite. Was it keeping him inside the shack back in 2004 or was it keeping him out of it?
Feel free to comment since I am obviously clueless.
