So...Lost? Random thoughts..

[shadowkat]

Works slow which is making me edgy. I don't do slow well. I like to be crazy busy. Most people just wander about and chat with folks, which I can do a little of...before feeling quilty for distracting them from their work and running out of stuff to talk about. This will be fast since at work.

Anywho...Lost?

Is that a cliff-hanger or what? And now we have to wait eight frigging months?
Also...



Please not Juliet. Just when I was beginning to love the character to pieces.
Also, she appears to be the only one that Jacob did not visit, along with Benjamin Linus. (Yes, I'm a Juliet/Sawyer fan. Also a Bernard/Rose fan. The only two romantic relationships I've seen depicted on a sci-fantasy series that actually are healthy/supportive and work for the long-term.)

Jacob and Conrad or God and the Devil playing Chess in the book of Job - at least that's what came to mind. Seems Conrad finally found his loop-hole to kill Jacob, question is - will what Jack and his companions do in the past undo it all?

This thing can go down two ways - one they reset the dang clock and cause a parrallel universe or two they cause what actually happened.

Kudos to Miles for the best line of the night - "so, has it occurred to any of you that the bomb may actually set off the incident that you are attempting to avoid or change? That by setting off this bomb you may actually set everything in motion? And the best thing to have done would have been nothing at all? Glad to see you guys have thought this through."

So the writers deliberately tell us the two options. 1) they reset the button
2.) they kill everyone on the island and cause the events that happened in the future, ie the plane crash

We may be given a clue by the state that the statue is in - it is destroyed with just a foot. The question is when did it get destroyed? Not sure. May have been before the 1970s.

This season has been really good. Lots to ponder. And last night's episode rocked.

More thoughts later.

People always want the free will option, but when that happens and time travel is involved, it always screws up the story we have been watching for years and years.

I prefer the slightly fatalistic tack they've been taking on Lost, where it's not so much a lack of free will, as people just being who they are, and in doing so, create the future we've already seen.
