Lost was awesome, even though a large part of the action hinged on people doing what always bugs me on Lost: listening to Jack. Also the whole love quadrangle is just painful. Oh and I hate Kate. That being said - loved it!
Overall, I'm pretty ambivalent when it comes to Kate and Jack. Don't really feel much either way. If it had been Kate who died last night? I'd have shrugged. Jack? Same deal. (Dang, wish they killed Kate instead of Juliet...but I knew that would never happen.) The quadrangle was a tad annoying, since it is clear that if Sawyer had to choose? He'd pick Juliet in a heartbeat, unlike Kate, Juliet has always had his back and doesn't judge him. Juliet/Sawyer were the anti-Kate/Jack, hence her death, dang-it. Much more fun to torment us with more Sawyer/Kate/Jack action...ugh.
But, that said? At least it made sense they listened to Jack. He's the "shepard" after all, so they follow him, with the possible exception of Rose/Bernard who are ignoring him. Poor Sawyer wanted to go against him. (Loved that fight).
I don't think they'll do a reset since that would mean wiping out the present day action on the island, but rather it will be like when Desmond blew up the Hatch and may knock the 1977 crowd back to the future. I'm hoping that might mean Juliet isn't dead but fear that isn't the case.
Agreed. I'm thinking that what they did in the past may release them back to the future. Juliet may end up in the future, wounded. But whatever they did also caused what happens in the future - ie. the plane crash, the button that requires pushing, etc. Which would be ironically amusing. Sayid and Jack creates Ben Linus by shooting him/refusing to operate. Jack causes the plane crash by blowing up the bomb in the past in the hopes of preventing it. Hee. Jack? It was your destiny to crash land a bunch of people on the island and by refusing to operate on Ben, cause him to become who he is. If you'd acted differently, life would be great.
The Locke/Jacob/Ben stuff was so exciting, though I am sad that Locke is dead dead. At least we'll get Not!Locke as the big bad. I wonder if Jacob's enemy is like the First on Buffy and can only take the form of dead people - he could be responsible for Christian Shepherd and Claire.
Agree!
Wonder if Conrad was the guy in the cabin that Lock and Ben visited, who sent everything flying around, and whispered "help me, Lock, help me". It would be ironic if the person Ben was listening to all this time, the one who visited him as his mother, was in fact Conrad. If smokey the monster and Conrad are linked? Sort of like the First, but more substantial and far more manipulative? Also not necessarily "evil"? Just not good?
Ugh. Eight months is far too long. Was thinking last night this is one of those shows, I almost wish I could just have rented or bought all the seasons on DVD.
