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.

Regarding Juliet, my response to that scene was "DAMN THEM!!" (meaning the writers).

Bernard and Rose always remind me of the older couples on soap operas back when they had older long-established couples that seemed to form the bedrock on which all the other drama took place.

And Juliet had evolved into my favorite character, the one I might actually want to know and be friends with. And I enjoyed the relationship she and Sawyer had developed, much the way I'd loved the one between Giles and Jenny on Buffy. And this is why I don't really ever have 'ships. They always kill them off.

I have to admit, I'm totally wondering which way the story will go, and given the way it's gone up to now I wouldn't be surprised if it goes toward option 3, which no one thought about. Of course, it's also crossed my mind that it would be hilariously evil to end it with a Victoria Principle voice-over: "Bobby? I had the oddest dream..."

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!

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.

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.

Oh how can I wait so long!!

Jacob not visiting Juliet does make me think that's it for her. Also wearing a red shirt. Never good to wear a red shirt. If she really is dead they had better do something good with it -- cause I'm right there with you on Juliet/Sawyer, and she's been the most likeable of the bunch for some time.

If it turns out that Jack really was right to try to get a do over I'm not going to be a happy camper.
