Lost Is Back!

Posted in Blog, Lost

I am a happy, happy woman today now that Lost is back, albeit temporarily. Some comments on last night’s episode that nobody else will care about:

– First and foremost, could there have been any more commercials??? At first I thought, “Wow- this show is so great the time is just flying by.” Then I realized, no, there were actually commercials every 6-7 minutes. I think this was the first time I ever watched the show live and it will most likely be the last time.

– LOVED the opening. I tried hard to figure out who’s backstory that woman was from and never saw it coming that she was an Other. Seeing the plane break up from their perspective was awesome. Juliet’s facial expressions/tears in response to the lyrics in “Downtown” and her comment that “I thought free will still existed on this…” just before the earthquake were both very interesting. Does she really want to be there and does she even have a choice?

– The Hydra’s an underwater hatch. I wonder just how big it is…?

– Zeke commented to Kate, “You’re not my type.” I’m guessing he’s gay. Any importance?

– Are the Others playing with their minds or what? Their respective “prisons” were tailor made for them. Kate was given what every woman would want after a couple months on an island: to feel pretty. Then they plopped her in her lovely dress across from Sawyer to see what happens (I’m curious what could have caused the injuries on her wrists and what an “unpleasant next two weeks” means). Sawyer’s Pavlovian experiment tested his need (and possibly aptitude) for getting around the system. I wonder if “Chachie” (I love Sawyer’s nicknames- I melted once again from his sweet “Freckles” when he gave Kate the biscuit) is one of the Tailies who was captured early or if he’s an Other and the escape was all a setup? The look on Sawyer’s face when Zeke told him the (polar?) bears figured out the feeding contraption in only two hours was priceless. Jack was tested to see if he could abandon his trust and control issues. I don’t think they were ever in danger for their lives in that tank. I believe the flood was totally planned and was an attempt to make him trust Juliet when she helped him and to teach him that when they say not to do something, don’t do it. I wonder if the strong resemblance Juliet bears to his ex-wife is the reason why she’s the one dealing with Jack?

– Does Juliet actually know there’s a strong resemblance to Jack’s ex-wife? At first I thought the Others must have access to the outside world but then it occurred to me that all that information she provided could have been gleened while Henry/Ben was in custody or while Jack was under sedation.

– Anybody else think the way Jack slammed Juliet against the table and then held the taser to her throat was kinda hot? I’m not some kind of freak; If Hurley had done it, not hot. But from the good doctor, kinda hot.

– Speaking of Hurley, I did miss him, Locke and Sayid (not so much anybody else). I’m looking forward to next week’s episode to find out what happened with Locke, Eko and Desmond in the hatch and to find out what sort of plans the rest of the Losties have for rescuing their friends. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait to learn the fate of Michael and Walt and to find out what exactly those two guys on the Arctic boat discovered…?

    Did you see the video podcast by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, broadcast before the first episode of Season 3? I can’t wait to find out why Locke is in a wheelchair, and what Jack’s tatoo’s are all about, both of which are supposedly revealed in S3. Also, please watch the youtube download they mention on the podcast with the mother and son on the fairground ride. If that doesn’t make you laugh - you know you are officially dead!! p.s. thanks for a fantastic and interesting, well funny blog!!

    I also noticed the Juliet - Sarah resemblence; its pretty clear the producers are grooming her as a Jack love-interest. About the Sawyer “cage”: it wasn’t a Pavlovian test — ike a bunch of other bloggers also claimed– but a “Skinner Box” set up for psychological testing of animals (as mentioned by “Tom”). Remember that in the original Orientation video, psychologist B. F. Skinner was mentioned as an influence on the founders of the DHARMA initiative? Looks like the writers read Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinner_box
