Hurley throws a hot pocket at Ben, Frogurt gets a flaming arrow to the chest and Faraday seems to be the key to everyone's survival! I'm still processing everything that happened last night. What I do know is that Lost started out with a bang this season. The first 10 minutes jumped right back into the action and didn't stop... I could sit here and contemplate the first two hours all morning, but I have a show to prepare for, so here are my top 3 observations. Let me know what you think:1 - Since the Losties are now hurling through time, this really changes everything that has happened on the island. When Desmond and Jack first met, did Desmond recognize Jack from their meeting at the track or was it from another "time" on the island? Or, since Desmond is somehow "special" did he already know Jack and was he at the track for a specific reason? Also, what about those skeletons they found in the cave with the white and black stones? (Forgot about them, didn't you!) We will most certainly find out who they are (or were) now. And in season 1 Jack went missing in the jungle right after their first encounter with the smoke monster. He looks shaken, but it's never explained where he was. Did he see someone that tried to warn him about something?
2 - Ms. Hawking is a big part of this. She's the grey haired lady with all of the pendilums and apple IIe computers that seems to know when returning to the island is possible. Remember, she appeared to Desmond while he was travelling through time. She warned him that you can't change the direction of the future because it will always course-correct. The question is, could she also be Faraday's mother? The woman Desmond is supposed to meet at Oxford?
3 - Locke's quest just got more interesting. Has he known what was going on all along? Did he blow up the hatch on purpose? Is the reason he's been trying to stop everyone from getting off of the island for the past 4 seasons really because of his legs - or is it because he already knows what happens when they leave? Has history course-corrected each time Locke sabotaged escape, and is he destined to die? Is he really dead? It's too early for this... I have to re-watch after the show today.
Yeah - it definitely didn't disappoint! But...will Lost please stop taking such long breaks because I can't remember the billion details between such lags! What skeletons? Refresh my memory! At least they gave us two hours!
ReplyDeleteHey Boris:
ReplyDeleteI like your posts on Lost. My co workers and I have been trying to figure things out for the last few days. One of the thoughts we had was that Locke was playing himself in chess when he was in , i think it was the pearl station, That is why he new everything that was going on. The time traveling locke was able to communicate with Locke from the past, off the island, tell him not to get on the plane or to get off the island when he had a chance " the sub" and tell himself everything that was going to happen and then eventually he would have to die to save everyone, again changing the past and altering the futer. Like desmond is faradays constant, Locke is his own constant. That is why he is so important to the island.
In order for Ben to get back to the island he has to bring Locke's body back in order to change the futer. their will then be two locke's on the island which would change time completely and stop the island from moving.
Just by watching the 'recap' episode, you know that the Island has something to do with time-space (one of the creators even said so). So- what about that giant 4-toed statue foot? Atlantis? Is the island (and Jacob) an infant god? Is the reason that no one can find the island beacause it exists in another time? (the reason that when Ben moves it, he ends up in Tunisia- the continents and islands move- therefore, Ben didn't move in space, just in time)... DESMOND RULES!
ReplyDeleteI love Lost too & can't wait for some more answers.
ReplyDeleteI remember those black & white stones you mentioned. Jack put them in his pocket when they found the 2 skeletons at the cave in the 1st season. I want the skeletons to turn out to be Kate & Jack or Sawyer.
Remember the tall black guy who visited Hurley in the mental ward & Locke in the hospital? He pushed Locke's wheelchair up to the edge of the stairs and he recruited Naomi. He's now in Fringe (also J.J. Abrams). I like Fringe too. It's X-Filey (rip-off?). Wonder if he'll come back to Lost?
