- What the fuck is that wheel thing? Locke returned to the Orchid or the Well or whatever the fuck we're calling the place Ben went to move the island and I have to tell you, shit got trippy. He fell down a well to get there, which disappeared during a time jump, thus leaving him trapped underground. It's ok though, because JACK'S DAD REAPPEARS AND TELLS HIM HE WILL HAVE TO SACRIFICE HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE ISLAND. Yeah. Also, the fucking wheel thing is all off it's magical hinges, which seems to be causing all the time jumps. Locke puts it back though, which makes me wonder if the time jumps will stop now, and additionally if that means the islanders will be stuck in whatever time period they are in.
- If Sawyer saw Claire and Kate in the woods, doesn't that mean there's another version of himself running around the island too? And this ladies and gentleman, is where my brain starts to hurt, because by jumping to a time after the crash, we jump to a point in a time where multiple versions of the same character exist, which means.......well I don't know what the fuck it means, but I hope it doesn't that they're going to start running into each other because it would have had to be something we would have already seen. And I'm pretty sure according t science fiction time rules you can't coexist with yourself in the same time period without the universe exploding........or at least my brain exploding from being so confused.
- Are we ever going to find out about Smokey the Monster? Because I'd really like to know (1) what it is---and don't give me that security system bullshit because I will fucking punch in the face, and (2) how old is that temple it lives in, because it sure looks pretty old with all those hieroglyphics in it. It obviously came from the same people as that fucking wheel in the ground, but I would like to see them soon.
- How awesome was it to see Rousseau's back story? Pretty awesome, although I don't remember if we ever knew she killed her husband. That's probably what drove her over the edge, that and Jin.
- How do we feel about Charlotte dying? Pretty indifferent. I never attached to those frieghter folk, mostly because I think anyone that wasn't a main cast member during season 1 is doomed to die before the series finale (for examples see: Ana Lucia, Libby, Mr. Eko, Carl, Alex, Naomi, all of those crazy freighter people from last season, etc.). I hope that Desmond, Ben, and Juliet are exceptions to that rule, though, because I like all of them way too much. That aside, I was happy to find out that Charlotte grew up on the island because it's interesting and totally fits. Now I will ask the question: WHO'S HER DADDY? And she thinks she met Faraday in the past? Prob because when Locke fixed the wheel it stuck the island in the past. (Also: wheel = wheel of time, just realized that). What does that mean for our favorite characters? And how the Oceanic 6 fix it by going back? No fucking clue, just thought I would ask. Additionally, when Charlotte said she only just remembered something, I wonder if the reason she only just remembered it was because the timeline was being reset within her brain as a result of the impact that the moves through time are having on the timeline. What's that? I'm not making sense again? Ok I'll move on.
- On a scale of 1 to touching, how good was the phone call from Sun's daughter? It was very touching. And now because I'm starting to get tired, one last question:
- Anyone else think the show is becoming to plot heavy? The thing I love about LOST is seeing how the character's backstories (or forward stories) provide context for the way they act in the main timeline of the show. Now that it seems the show has somewhat abandoned that premise to instead make an on/off island split, I feel like we might have lost (no pun intended) some of that character-driven stuff that made the show so great in the first place. I'm happy we're getting answers, don't get me wrong, I just would like more of the character stuff again. (I think this may also have to do with my own personal preference for shows sticking with the formal conventions they set up, or reinventing them, rather than just abandoning them, but that's just me).
Ok here you go. Is Sun going to kill Ben? Jin is alive! And it's Ji Yeon?
Aaron and Ji Yeon will play together. And that totally killed he resolve, or maybe not.
Will she believe him? How will Ben prove it?
Jin is alive! The numbers being broadcast over and over again. 1988, wow.
I love French accents. And young Rousseau is easy on the eyes.
And isn't he totaly fucking with the timeline? I think he is.
I need to stop asking the temporal questions, or else I'm totally going to confuse myself.
Les Autres. or another flash. Or smoke monster.
Smokey the bear. This explains Rousseau's craziness.
This is the it, the it that killed them.
Who knew it killed them all so quickly.
OMG they pulled off his arm?!!!!!
This is ridic
So this is when she takes up her rifle And there's a temple on the islanf? I've never see that one before.
Clearly covered in hieroglyphs. Decaying arm.
The smoke on the beach, that's either the day they took Alex or the day Rousseau lit the fire on the beach.
Music box?
And what do the other people see when the time travelers disappear?
Decaying dead bodies.
OMG she killed her husband.
And Jin keeps flashing too, but is he flashing to different palces than the others are.
They reunited!
Why you bring her back?
Sun now working with Ben, too much switching of sides I think?
And Locke is going to leave island now?
She speaks Klingon? And what with the season premiere and Faraday watching the Other?
Now we're getting little Blair witch, and what was the point of doing them back to back if not to kill off
Woah Rebecca MAder, you are scary, you totally have a career in remakes of Japanese horror films.
THis place is death, that's creepy.
What? I'm so confused.
What is The Well? The Well of Knowledge? Well of Time?
We knew she grew up on the Island? We knew it...........who is her Dad? WHO IS HER DAD?
WHAT DOES SHE REMEMBER?!!!!! CRAZY MAN THAT SCARED HER!!!!!!! IF SHE CAME BACK SHE WOULD DIE!!!!!! CRAZY OLD MAN WAS FARADAY!!!!!!
I wonder if there's sme kind of magic on his promise. Like a magic seal.
Oh Jin you are a good husband. You love your wife.
Locke is a crazy old man.
That happened way too quick.
And Charlotte is dying. So if Daniel went back in time.
How can his mother help?
She died. You had a good run Rebecca Mader, we will miss you. This death has none of the emotional impact I would have expected.
Ewww Locke has protruding bone.
Oh Christian Shepherd. SO CREEPY!!!!!
Oh he's so creepy............ok here was the emotional hook. Eloise Hawking.
Push the wheel back onto its axis.
Can you help me up? This feels really biblical.
Ben tring the wheel made it not work.
Locke put the wheel back in place. Does that mean the flashes will stop.
Mrs. Hawking's church?
Desmond.........about freaking time.
And why does she live at a church?
This adds to the creepiness.
