Latest Episode
Okay, so that whole episode was great, but I am not lying that the tears were streaming down my face when Jin and Sun were reunited. Yay!!!
What did you think of the episode?
Do you think Desmond is the person who has to set everything right by leading people in the right direction so that eventually the two timelines will align?

LOST ENDS
I don't want LOST to end. I just don't. I don't want it to end. I don't. Why does it have to end? Why? It's LOST. LOST doesn't end. Does it? No. Here is what I propose.
LOST does not end. It's the most intriguing series television has ever known. It has no beginning. So therefore, it has no end. What, you thought it all started when Oceanic 815 crashed on an island and Jack opened his eye? No. The forces of good and evil have been at work long before. Maybe since before time began, even. Whether or not the smoke monster gets off the island in the end doesn't much matter. No matter what can happen, he can never die. Jacob and nemesis will fight each other for all eternity. The setting of their epic battle is moot. Whether it is this island or the island of Manhattan. Son of a bitch!
So they tell us LOST is ending on May 23. Don't believe it. LOST will never end. We will not be given every desirable answer and there will always be room for discussion. Yes, some characters' stories will end. And I just know I'm going to end up crying over someone. Goddamnit, it better not be Hurley. Seriously, JJ, if Hurley dies, I'm coming for you. Don't do it. With their demises, we will lose pieces of our selves. But wherever each character's fate takes him, they will ALL be playing their parts. Everyone means something. Everyone matters.
Bring on the final 5 episodes! I eagerly await the culmination of 6 confusing years! What do you think? Will LOST end with a bang or a whimper? Will good conquer evil? Will everything make sense? Will the universes align? Will there be one final "eff you, viewer" where we discover that the alternate universe we have been experiencing all year long is actually OUR universe and WE are the true candidates. WE are part of LOST's neverending story. ... Or will it just end in Black like The Sopranos?
Will we be satisfied???

Did anyone see that coming?
By "that" I mean Ilana's death! How unexpected! I didn't think the writers would use that death by dynamite thing again.
I am a little frustrated that all the strong, powerful women on the show don't seem to last very long, though. Ilana seemed headed for heroic greatness for a second there. She had a plan to stop the MIB from leaving the island, and she was about to carry that plan out. But no, Hurley had to distract her, and she had to be blown up.
Let's take a look at other strong, powerful women who've met their untimely demise.
First there was Ana Lucia. Sure, she ticked off the producers by her drunken shenanigans. But Desmond was accused of worse, yet he's still on the show. Ana Lucia was pretty much the leader of the tail section. She wasn't afraid to kick butt. But no, Michael killed her when she let her guard down.
Then there was Danielle. This French chick managed to survive on this scary island without going too mad for many years. She could set traps, elude the Others, and put up a good fight. In the end, though, she was shot dead by the mercenaries as her daughter watched.
Remember Naomi? I do, not just because she was a strong character, but because the actress who portrayed her was on a show I used to watch, "Las Vegas." Naomi, if you don't recall, was one of the mercenaries, who, along with Miles and Daniel, supposedly came to the island to save the Oceanic survivors. Locke didn't trust who she was, so he struck her with a knife, and she later died. Poor Naomi. She had a strong personality and tons of military experience.
Nadia, Sayid's love, was a minor character, but the girl rebelled against Hussein's government, which led to her imprisonment and torture. And then she got hit by a bus.
And then there was Juliet. She's now saving Earth from aliens, but before that, she worked as a fertility doctor, lived with the Others on the island, probably did some evil bidding for them, kissed Jack and then Sawyer, knew how to use weapons, and then detonated the hydrogen bomb by striking the bomb with a rock after falling down the well.
Now we're just stuck with slutty Kate, crazy Claire, and whiny Sun. Oh, Ilana, you will be missed.

What's Up With Desmond?
First of all, I want to know why Desmond has this special ability to travel through time and space and into alternate realities while everyone else turns into hamburger meat...
Remember in Episode 1 Season 6 when Jack saw Desmond in the plane and asked if they knew each other? I immediately thought that Jack probably had some obscure, buried memory of their time on the island together, but now it seems that Jack probably remembers Desmond from the stadium bleachers, the same ones Penny was jogging on (why do people do that by the way... seems like torture, not exercise). So should we start thinking about all of the flashbacks and flash forwards and how they relate to the flash sideways? If the flash sideways are a continuation of the flash backs, then that means that the flash forwards don't actually happen, if the flash forwards happen, then that means that the flash sideways are not real.
I think my brain is turning into hamburger meat....
Also, what do you think is happening to Desmond now, is he cooperative because he has had an epiphany, or is his brain in fact hamburger meat and he'll go with whomever is in his line of vision, be it Widmore or Psycho-Sayid?

What a relief ...
... that this week's episode had more action in it than most of the episodes this season. I mean, yes, I love Jin and Sun, and Jack, and Locke, and all, but their episodes have been quite boring this season.
It takes a (hot) man like Desmond and his accent to get this show on the road. With just five (5! Really, ABC, I can count.) episodes left in this series, I finally had a "wow" moment after watching this week.
So this episode was titled "Happily Ever After." Charlie and Daniel are both alive in the parallel universe. Charlie had "a feeling" about Claire. Daniel had "a feeling" about Charlotte. Is it a coincidence that neither Charlie nor Daniel will have the chance to live "happily ever after" in the "real" universe because they are both dead? Will Desmond get to live "happily ever after" in the "real" universe with Penny? Will he get to live "happily ever after" in the parallel universe with Penny? (Am I using too many "quotes"?)
I don't know what I'm getting at with this blog post. I think I'm just blathering. I see this show starting to get somewhere, but I just don't know where it is trying to go. Someone else with more insight should post something now.

Sleeping Through LOST
AZ slept through LOST last night. Is this a forgivable offense? Let's examine...
Yes, we've all been there. You work all day. You commute. Maybe you go to the gym. Maybe you had a little too much to drink the night before. Maybe you have kids. Enough said there. We've all slept through television shows, movies, televised sports, etc. But when it comes to LOST... especially in its final season... how is there any reasonable excuse for zonking out?
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not perfect. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh man. Where was I? I don't even know. I guess I should say: Shame on you, AZ! Never sleep through LOST! And then she'll come back with something akin to: Whatever, shakabry! I'll watch it online. ... Yeah, you can do that. But something is lost in an online viewing. Maybe something is gained, too. I don't know. You just shouldn't sleep through LOST. That's all I'm saying.
But you know what? Today you get a pass because we're all checking out of AA! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Desmond and Charlie
I thought last night's episode was great. I am so happy that they FINALLY connected the two universes in a real and believable way. Man, that sounds like sarcasm, huh? Well I don't mean it as such. I'm being real. I guess that's what I get for always having a smart mouth. "You and your smart mouth are gonna get you in trouble some day!" Yes Daddy, that day has come.
I heart Charlie. Or at least, I heart the old Charlie. This new one is a psycho. But I think I heart him, too. He saw love on the plane. He saw an image of preggers Claire back before she was all fired up for the Lord Locke Monster. Desmond said it best when he said, "That's poetry."
The characters in the show keep saying "You always have a choice." I don't want to steal this idea. It's Edge's. One of his theories is that by the end of the show, everyone in Sideways Land is going to be privy to the life that they had on the island and they are going to have to choose whether or not they want to life that life... over there. Interesting theory. I think it could possibly play itself out. But then what happens to the Sideways universe if they do? I think it might implode on itself leaving Eloise Hawking/Widmore on a rock in the middle of the night sky somewhere repeating over and over to herself, "It wasn't supposed to be like this. I'm not ready." She's a scary broad. Reminds me of the mother/zombie in Dead Alive. Did anyone ever see that movie? So good. You've got.... the bite! Singaya!
What else? Um. I'm done with Sayid. Well maybe that's not true. Is he really totally gone? He seems to be when he kills without warning or remorse. But then he has moments, like last week, when he was sitting on the log (heh. log.) and he said to Lockey Baby, "I can't feel anything anymore." That's still human, right? At least he knows something is wrong. Goddamnit. I want my original characters back.
"Not Penny's Boat," --> Wahhhhhhhh!!!!! Why'd you have to die, Charlie? Why??
Let's see. Ummm. Who the hell is Desmond's driver? Was he in the Dharma Initiative? Hold on, I'll check Lostpedia. Hmm. He doesn't appear to be anyone. Maybe I just remember him from some old movie. He's a weirdo. This is kind of interesting though. I will leave you with it.
In the end, Lost asks big money of advertisers
TV is crazy, yo.
