I wish I could tell you all that GMMR and I had a special 2 Idiots Talk Lost podcast available this morning but with my moving and her seeing Sex & The City tonight, you’re going to have to wait a couple days.
Instead you get me, just 1 Idiot Talking Lost – and talking about it in the most random, high level, non-sensical way I’m sure. I don’t even know where to begin…
Overall I have to say that I loved the episode. I also have to admit that I’m not the most critical about LOST. I’m a viewer that likes to sit back and let the show take me wherever it wants to take me. That means I accept that the island can be moved, I accept that most of the time a dead person is never really dead, and that there’s always more than meets the eye (and/or ear) when it comes to all things LOST. While I might be confused about things right now, or think that things are ridonk, I have faith in the show and the incredible writing staff that in due time it will all work itself out and I’m along for the ride no matter what. I’m blindly faithful to this show and that’s how I like it.
My Thoughts:
I love that the finale began where the finale ended last year and that we got even more of that amazing scene by the airport. So much was revealed. There was a damn good slap, talk about Aaron, mention of Jeremy Bentham and how he’s contacting all the survivors – WTF!, and then there was the set up for Sawyer’s exit from the helicopter in Kate saying how traumatic the day they left was. Both Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly killed that scene once again.
How about that incredible fight scene on the island between evil Keamy, The Others, Ben, Kate and Sayid? It was like the dino scene in King Kong with all the chaos – took my breath away with the frantic non-stop action. And once again for the record Richard Alpert is one creepy ass hot ageless dude. Oh and what about Ben just being so nonchalant about Kate and Sayid taking the chopper to leave the island? I love that Benry Gale Ben Linus when he’s on a mission.
Rose, girl you crack me up with your sharp tongue. Watching her lay the smackdown on Miles was high-larious! I love that Rose – but where the hell was Bernard?
Miles and Charlotte. He’s one creepy dude but he’s growing on me. I love that he read Charlotte and knew that she had ulterior motives for wanting to come on this expedition. I did hear her say that she’s been trying to find the place she was born correct? So does that mean Charlotte is from the island? A child BORN on the island? Crazy talk. Did she leave the island after she was born and that’s why all other women die before giving birth? Did that bitch ruin it for everyone? Could she be another spawn of Widmore? Aack!
Locke’s ascension to power. It’s been a long time coming and it was wonderful to see good things happening for John Locke no matter how wacky and new agey they may be. I’ve always loved Locke’s dedication to the island and after seeing Richard visit him (as a child) a couple weeks back, it really was destiny that Locke found the island. But how did he leave the island and become Jeremy Bentham? I’m assuming he has to be Jeremy Betham because technically John Locke is supposed to be dead but can he leave the island like Richard and Tom or did he have to move the island again in order to leave? It’s too much!
