LOST: Why they died
I can't believe that LOST ends on Sunday.
Are you having a viewing party? Or are you, like me, watching it alone. Hopefully, with minimal interruptions.
Tuesdays episode set things in motion for a wild ride to the finish.
On the island:
We see the last four, Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer. They are on their way to rescue Desmond. He is still trapped in the well. Sayid told them on his way out that they would likely need him.
On the way, the finally have a sit down with Jacob. They can all see him, that can all hear him. He tells them that one of them must step up and be the new protector.
To the surprise of no one, Jack steps up.
We find out that Kate was scratch from the cave of wonders because she became a mother.
We see what side Ben is on and it appears to be the evil side. He kills Charles Whitmore and doesn't even flinch when Flocke cuts Sarah Palin's throat.
Where did Miles disappear too? Was he hidden somewhere at Ben's?
Richard took quite a hit from smokey, but I have a feeling that he will reappear on Sunday.
The island cast has been weeded and when Flocke announced he was going to destroy the island, I believed him.
OFF the island:
Desmond is working his magic. He helped Ben see some flash of his former life by kicking his ass, which looked like a lot of fun.
Ben had a family bonding moment with Danielle and Alex. I have to admit it made me smile a little. John took steps towards walking again. Jack bonded with Claire and made a promise to be at his son's concert even if his mystery mother would also likely attend.
Anna Lucia helped Desmond bust Kate and Sayid out of jail. Hurley continues to be awesome, on and off the island. He seems to be just as in touch with his other life as Desmond is.
When he brought the bribe that secured Kate and Sayid's freedom, he didn't bat an eye lash at seeing and remembering Anna Lucia.
Where is Desmond taking Kate? To Jack's son's concert....Where is Miles taking Sawyer....to Jack's son's concert.
What will play out at this concert, I can only venture to guess. What will happen on the island? I can't wait to find out.
How do I picture the last scene?
Jack and Flocke are sitting on the beach. He is wearing white, Flocke is wearing black.
Flocke: "Do you know how much I want to kill you right now?"
Jack: "Yes. I know. But what happened happened."
Flocke: "I wish you had believed me."
Jack: "I wish I would have believed John, not you."

LOST: The last recruit
This week on Lost....
Jack and Flocke have a man to uh...man?
Sun visits the only hospital in L.A.
John visits the only hospital in L.A.
We learn that the depth of wells can be deceiving.
Sawyer can sail a boat.
We learn that boat sailing is sexy.
Ilana is a lawyer? WTF?
We learn that Lost writers love Star Wars.
Shortly after Hurley, LePenis, Sun and Jack arrive at Camp Smokey, Flocke says to Jack that they need to chat.
After getting approval from Hurley (what was that all about), Jack and Flocke do just that.
"You look pretty good for being dead," said Jack.
"Thanks," said Flocke. "I like this body better than that of your fathers. It's younger and it lets me show off the cool scar by my eye. Plus I don't have to wear those stupid white sneakers anymore."
"Don't mock my father, Flocke."
Flocke tells him he is so happy to see him that he could just spit. After all, if Camp Smokey is going to leave the island they must go together.
"Live together, die alone."
After returning to camp, he gets cornered by crazy in the flesh, Claire.
She wants to know what made him decide to join up with Flocke. He tells her he's not sure where he stands. She reminds him that like it or not he is now on the dark side. After all, he let Flocke speak to him.
Meanwhile, back in the tiny village of L.A.
John is fighting for his life in an ambulance racing towards the only hospital around. The one Jack works at.
Sun is also on her way to that very hospital.
Jack is not there. He is at the will reading of his father with his non-existent son.
Who is his lawyer? Ilana. Remember her? She blew herself up with dynamite last week. This week she's stumbling onto Jack's sister and blowing him up. Metaphorically. And she really didn't stumble onto Claire, Desmond kind of pushed her there.
On a personal note I found the idea of Ilana as a lawyer one of the most unbelievable twists in Lost history. That's saying a lot since I'm okay with polar bears and time travel.
Anyway, just as Jack learns that he has a sister and that he isn't going to get all of his daddy's fortune his phone rings and he is off to save one or all of the Losties again.
Meanwhile, no matter the time zone, Sexy...I mean Sayid, is unlikely to survive. Let's face it people--he's soulless in both versions. There's a little foreshadowing going on here.
In LA, he is fleeing from the scene of a quadruple murder and being apprehended by the only police officer in that same small village.
That's right...Sawyer.
Poor Naydia. She can't catch a break. Piece of advise: Both brothers are nothing but trouble. Take the kids and go far far away.
Back on the island at Camp Smokey, Sarah Palin shows up and explains how she can see Alaska from the beach. No one has a clue what she is talking about and then she calls for back up.
A bomb goes off.
She demands the return of Desmond by midnight or the next time she won't miss.
Flocke tells Sayid to go and kill him.
You have to admit that Desmond is having a bad day. He was kidnapped, drugged, magnetized, demagnetized and then thrown down the shallowest well in the history of well digging.
Now he is about to be shot by a soulless Iranian.
"Why, brother? What have you been promised in return."
"Nadia. I will be with Nadia again."
"And what will you tell her? When she asks what you have done to be with her again, what will you tell her?
Oh how I wish we could have heard the answer.
Back in LA
Sun, Jin and the baby are fine.
Jack is operating on John. Will he walk again or will he die? Doesn't he have to die in both time lines? What are your thoughts?
On the island:
Sawyer, Jack, Kate, LePenis and Sun take Flocke's sailboat and head to Hydra island. They are going to steal Whitmore's sub. Jack gets cold feet and jumps ship. He swims to shore and finds Flocke. Then the bombs start going off again. He is out of sorts.
Sawyer and his crew are detained by Palin and the secret service. Jin and Sun are reunited. I would say more about this but the entire reunion was so anti climatic that it isn't really even worth mentioning.
It looks like they may all be executed...but I have my doubts.
Best lines of the night:
After the first bomb exploded at Camp Smokey Claire said to Hurley "What's going on?" His response..."People trying to kill us again."
Sawyer telling Jack who is invited on his cruise line. "You know, the pilot. The one who looks like he belongs on the set of a Burt Reynolds movie."
Only four more episodes remain.

LOST: Happily Ever After
I was looking forward to this episode as soon as I realized it would feature Desmond. For many reason, but specifically it's because he is so stinking cute and I just love his accent.
It doesn't take Desmond long to realize that he isn't living the good life on a ship with his wife, Penny and their baby Charlie. In fact, shortly after Zoey, aka Sarah Palin wakes him from his slumber he tries to beat Charles to death with a IV pole.
He is unsuccessful and soon learns that he need to take part in "an experiment".
Meanwhile, the Desmond who landed at LAX is smooth, single and employed by Charles Widmore. If that wasn't enough to make your stomach lurch, I have to admit that the office hug made me vomit a little.
Who's the limo driver? None other than George! The same George who was on the cargo ship and couldn't find his constant. Remember when he died in Desmond's arms? His last words "I can't get back." It was great to see him again. Still working for Widmore, but not bleeding from his nose.
LA Desmond learns that he must pick up Charlie at the police station and "babysit" him for the day. DriveShaft, Charlies band, is preforming at a benefit being put together by Mrs. Widmore and she is not someone you want to cross.
Desmond having never met anyone quite like Charlie before soon finds himself at a bar having a drink with him. He tells him about how he nearly died on the plane and how at that moment he realize that he has known love and basically describes Clair but doesn't know how he knows her. He seems determined to kill himself so he can find her.
Desmond tells him he has a choice. He can go with him or he can sit around and fantasize about his mystery girl. "There is always a choice, mate."
The two proceed to Desmond's car and Charlie give Desmond a choice. He can either get out of the car or stay in it and learn what he is talking about.
Charlie grabs the wheel and drives them straight into the water. The car begins to sink and just like we've seen before Charlie makes no attempt to stop himself from drowning. For a brief moment, while Desmond is trying to save him he sees NOT PENNY'S BOAT scrawled on his hand.
Desmond doesn't know who Penny is.
After he and Charlie are taken to Jack's hospital, Desmond is given a CAT scan. During the CAT scan he has flashes of his other life. The life he spent with Penny. The birth of his son. Soon he is convinced that Charlie may be on to something.
He finds him in the hospital and realizes that he has nothing written on his hand soon he is told by Widmore that he must tell his wife that DriveShaft will not be playing the benefit.
Who, you ask is Mrs. Widmore, F**KING Eloise Hawkings. But in this episode it is Eloise Widmore! And Daniel is there...he is Daniel Widmore and not Daniel Faraday. My brain turned to mush shortly after this.
After overhearing, Desmond ask about Penny only to be nearly beheaded by Eloise, Daniel follows Desmond to his car.
He tells him that just the other day he saw a beautiful redhead who he is certain he has loved before and wants to know if Desmond feels this way about Penny. Daniel then shows him a drawing he made in his journal and says "I'm a musician and there is no way I should have been able to do this quantum physics. I think that I may have set off a nuclear bomb. I think this may mean that we aren't where we are supposed to be."
Daniel tells him that Penny is his half sister and then he tells Desmond he can find her jogging at the stadium.
Desmond finds her and faints when they touch hands. The agree to see each other again later for coffee. After all, you always have a choice.
When Desmond returns to the limo, George says "Did you find what you were looking for?"
Desmond answers yes. Then he asks if George can get him the list of all the people who were on the flight from Sydney. George says sure, but why? and Desmond says he has something he needs to show them.
Meanwhile, back on the island, after turning one person inside out in an electromagnetic box, Widmore throws Desmond into the box and turns it on. Desmond does not turn inside out.
But when he wakes he is no longer angry. He is cooperative. Sarah Palin is suspicious. Desmond tells her that a lot can happen in 20 minutes.
Sarah says she knows. She lost an election with a 10 minute TV interview with Katie Couric.
NEXT WEEK: Hurley and his story. Damn....I'm excited about that.

LOST: The Package
This episode was a little slow for me, but I enjoyed it none the less.
We learn from Keemy that the watch and the money are for him. That somehow Sun's father is involved with him and that this is his payoff. Jin must provide the money.
Sun says, "Don't fret. I have the money in my secret bank account. I will get it." Of couse, she say it in Korean and because the only person in the world who speaks both Korean and English on LOST is that crazy Russian guy and we had the pleasure of seeing his ugly mug again.
Russian guy takes Sun to the bank. She learns her account has been closed by her daddy. She is broke.
Keemy takes Jin to the restuarant where he ties him up with duct tape and tells him that the money and the watch were his payment to kill Jin. That he should know better than to get involved with the boss's daughter. "Some people just aren't meant to be together."
A line I believe Sawyer once said.
Sun is shot in the madness. Say it isn't so! "I'm pregnant," she announces. Next stop....Jack's hospital.
Meanwhile...back on the island.
Sun is tired of hearing Jack's droning and droning about Jacob and magic mirrors and talking to the dead. She just wants to find Jin and get the hell off this island.
Jack leaves and Flocke arrives.
He says he can take her to Jin. She flees and hits her head and is discovered by Ben.
Ben says he found her unconscious in the woods and that she can only speak Korean.
Meanwhile, Claire overhears Flocke talking about all the candidates names on the wall and how Kwon is still listed and we learn that he can't leave the island unless all the candidates come with him.
Claire wants to know if her name is there.
Ummm....no. We have issues with your craziness.
However, Flocke tells her that once everyone is on the plane he doesn't really care what happens to Kate or any of the others. "Whatever happens, happens." If you know what I mean....another famous LOST one liner.
Claire begins to plot her revenge.
It's Desmond.
Many of our favorite lines of past episodes were revisited and that is something that always makes me smile.
It opens at the airport. Jin is being told that he can have his watch but not the $25,000 confiscated at customs. He needs to list it's purpose and fill out all the paperwork. This should be cake since he a) has no idea what it is for and b) cannot speak English.
I was sad to learn that Jin and Sun are not married in sideways world. They are, however, very much in love with each other. It was wonderful to see them together in this episode even if it was only short lived.
Soon Keemy shows up and things are no longer steamy. He has that effect on a room.
Sun says, "Don't fret. I have the money in my secret bank account. I will get it." Of couse, she say it in Korean and because the only person in the world who speaks both Korean and English on LOST is that crazy Russian guy and we had the pleasure of seeing his ugly mug again.
Russian guy takes Sun to the bank. She learns her account has been closed by her daddy. She is broke.
Keemy takes Jin to the restuarant where he ties him up with duct tape and tells him that the money and the watch were his payment to kill Jin. That he should know better than to get involved with the boss's daughter. "Some people just aren't meant to be together."
A line I believe Sawyer once said.
Jin, of course, is discovered by Sayid after he murders all the bad guys. He doesn't free him but gives him a knife and wishes him luck.
The Russian and Sun return to this unexpected chain of events. Russian and Jin argue, guns are fired but soon Jin comes out on top.
Sun is shot in the madness. Say it isn't so! "I'm pregnant," she announces. Next stop....Jack's hospital.
Meanwhile...back on the island.
Sun is tired of hearing Jack's droning and droning about Jacob and magic mirrors and talking to the dead. She just wants to find Jin and get the hell off this island.
Jack leaves and Flocke arrives.
He says he can take her to Jin. She flees and hits her head and is discovered by Ben.
Ben says he found her unconscious in the woods and that she can only speak Korean.
Ilana looks doubtful.
Ben says "Why don't you believe me?"
Ilana says, "Because you are speaking." LOL (one of my favorite lines of the episode)
Back in Flocke-ville, John returns to find his camp has been infiltrated by Sarah Palin and her husband. They have taken Jin.
He tells Sayid that they are going to go and get him back.
Meanwhile, Claire overhears Flocke talking about all the candidates names on the wall and how Kwon is still listed and we learn that he can't leave the island unless all the candidates come with him.
Claire wants to know if her name is there.
Ummm....no. We have issues with your craziness.
However, Flocke tells her that once everyone is on the plane he doesn't really care what happens to Kate or any of the others. "Whatever happens, happens." If you know what I mean....another famous LOST one liner.
Claire begins to plot her revenge.
Meanwhile back on the other other other island. Jin is locked in a cage and looking pissed. Whitmore finds out that Palin went after him because he was going to leave the camp. She wants to know about electromagnetic capabilities of the island. She has Dharma plans with Jin's name on them. Whitmore brings him Sun's camera and shows him pictures of his daughter.
I cried.
Whitmore visits Flocke down at the beach. He has those big smokey keep out pilars up. He says he doesn't have Jin. Flocke says the war is about to begin.
Whitmore tells Jin about a secret package and we all laughed because that was the episode title and it was important on the island and off. Jin says, "What's in it?" and Whitmore says, "Not what, who"
It's Desmond.
Of course, Sayid is in the water at the pier just in time to learn this information as well.

LOST - oh how I've missed thee
One week from tonight!
The final season of LOST begins!
I am more excited than a small child on Christmas Eve.
Just look at this cast photo. It is oozing with symbolism to the point of insanity. It's the LAST SUPPER for cryin' out loud.
Here are just a few clues currently being disscussed ad nauseum on the message boards.
• The table is a wing of a small plane.
• They are eating and drinking Dharma products.
• The Swan symbol is imprinted on the ruins behind them.
(In addition, they are sitting in airplane seats and there appear to be human skulls strewn about on the ground.)
When compared to the original photo who is sitting in Jesus' seat? Looks like Locke to me.
Is Sayid or Kate in Peter's seat?
I don't know about you but I'm starting to get giddy with excitement!

Lost Recap - The Incident (Season Finale)
My head and heart is still pounding from this fabulous season finale. However, I can't believe that I will likely have to wait until January (dare I say it) to find out what happens next.Jacob is finally revealed to us and let me first say this "Damn, he is FINE". Second, what is up with him 1.) no aging 2.) visiting pretty much all of our major characters including Sayid, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, John, Jin, Sun, Jack and Hurley? Is he Destiny? Is he Fate? Will you ever look at an interaction with a stranger the same way again?
Also, this would be a fine time to mention that our wonder bad boy Sawyer was even cute as a kid. LOL
Raise your hand if you were leaping out of your seat when Juliet was the one to layout the submarine guard. I mean WTF. If I were her I would have downed that sleeping potion and prayed Prince Charming would have woke me up on the other side.
I've been looking and looking for Rose and Bernard since season five began and let me just tell you their return could not have been sweeter. I love their love story, their faith, their journey. I just love everything about them. And given the choice, I would have stayed for tea.
Best line of the night:
Sawyer: "Didn't you hear me tell you to go to the beach?"
Bernard: "You mean while our friends were dying and flaming arrows were flying all around us? No, we missed that."
Sexy Sayid is shot. Say it isn't so! The scene when Nadia was hit by the car was completely heart wrenching. Hard to watch.
I loved the five minute talk between Jack and Sawyer. I just didn't want it to end. Ms. Flip-flop arrived and flopped her previous flipped position and told Sawyer we need to let Jack do this. Why Juliet? Why? Because she knows Sawyer still loves Kate? But if the plane never crashes you are still stuck on the island back in Dharmaville? Is that really better than a broken heart?
30 years in the future we learn that Jacob has also visit Alana. Why was her face all bandage up? We don't know? what is her mission? Other than finding what lies in the shadow of the statue we haven't a clue?
What language was the response to that question given by Richard? Any translation out there?
How is the stranger in the beginning on the island with Jacob now John Locke? Is Locke really dead? Is that really him in that trunk Alana and her friends have been toting around?
Is Jacob really dead? What will happen now?
Why didn't the bomb go off when Jack dropped it? Is Miles right? Are they causing "The Incident" that resulted in the need to push the life saving button to begin with?
Watching Sawyer trying to hold on to Juliet was nearly as heartbreaking as watching Sun scream for Jin.
Now that Juliet successfully exploded the hydrogen bomb, how will the new season open?
Six months is two long to wait!
