Get in here and check this out, because Lost rocks!
Okay, for those of you checking this for the first time today, I trust you made the smart decision and caught last night's season finale, properly labelled, "There's No Place Like Home." If not, go to
www.abc.go.com and watch the finale, because if there's ever been an episode that might hook people who aren't already watching it, this would be it. Even if you don't know the people, the storyline itself is powerful enough to get you to go back a few years and check out the previous 3 seasons.
For you fans who watched it, I'm sure you're feeling what I'm feeling... that same feeling you get all day long before the season finale airs, the excitement you may feel as to what may or may not happen to Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Desmond, Jin and the rest of the bunch. You get thrilled, don't ya? And then, when the finale airs and it's all said and done, it's like someone popped your personal hot air balloon, and most of what you felt is gone because not only did the finale air, but you got 8- count 'em, 8
- months until we find out what'll happen next.
But at this point, that's fine, because I for one am still reeling from all that happened. We saw Sayid and Kate team up with the Others and take down most of the mercenary team led by Martin Keamy. We saw Locke and Jack have one last conversation before Jack took off from the island, and we saw Ben go down into the Orchid and help Locke move the island. We saw Ben get revenge on Keamy for what he did to Alex, Ben's daughter. Also, we saw Michael, Sawyer, and possibly Jin sacrifice themselves, each in different ways, to make sure their friends were saved. We saw Lapidus' chopper go down, and luckily they were saved from a ship called the Searcher, which had Desmond's girlfriend on it, Penelope Widmore. And we saw who was in the grave from last year's episode "Through The Looking Glass," John Locke. And finally, we found out that Jack cannot get back to the island until he has Locke, Sun, Hurley, Kate, Sayid (and possibly Walt and Desmond) with him. Yeah, I think that'll satisfy me for a while... at least until September, when I go through withdrawls... lol
Interesting notes about last night's episode...
This year's finale was labelled "The Frozen Donkey Wheel." Now, it still sounds silly, even if you've seen what happened. But, think of the word donkey, and another cussword that could be used to describe donkey. I'm wondering if Ben, considering what he did, is the "donkey" they're referring to.
When we saw Ben waiting in the darkness for Keamy to come by, it reminded me of "Return of the Jedi," when Darth Vader was using words to draw Luke Skywalker out of hiding. Also, for those of you who have seen "3:10 To Yuma" the guy who plays Keamy in Lost is in that flick. When Russell Crowe's character killed "Keamy" he stabbed him in the neck with a fork. In last night's Lost, Ben stabbed him in the neck with a knife.
When Lapidus, Desmond, and the O6 were on the raft, about to be rescued, it reminded me exactly of when the Others found Walt, Michael, Sawyer and Jin at the end of Season 1. Also, in regards to Jin, Sawyer and Michael, their sacrifices also kinda parallelled what happened to those three at the beginning of Season 2. And Jin (and I hope I'm right on this) disappeared, and later we saw him washed up on the island. I'm thinking that's how he's saved at the end of this episode, even if the island did move.
Well, those are my thoughts... hope you've enjoyed this pointless, long read lol.... What're your's?
