Lost

By Brian(noreply@blogger.com) Given the direction I’m guessing the storyline will go (learning about the Others / the Island), it would make total sense to revisit some of the scenes from Season One (and earlier seasons) – but not in an “alternate reality”… but from an alternate perspective – like from that of the Other...

By Brian(noreply@blogger.com) Brian's Four Word Review That Is Also The Most Uttered Phrase By My Wife During Episodes of Lost: "I Don't Get It" Who wants to bet that this opens the door for Widmore to return to the Island, setting up the "battle for the Island" between Widmore, Locke, and Ben vs. Alpert and our Survivors?

By Brian(noreply@blogger.com) Strong resistance by those close to him = Kate, Sawyer, and Juliet (at least) will be opposing Jack. Kate’s already voiced her disagreement – and if you think about it, why would Sawyer and Juliet want Jack to erase the past? That would mean the two of them would never meet, fall in love, and sp...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) LOCKE: The Island told me. Didn't it ever tell you things? LOCKE: You've never seen him. Richard Alpert. Aside from Locke’s comment about Jacob, the next most shocking line of the episode belonged to Richard Alpert, during his brief conversation with Sun in 2008: Jack is an asshole.

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) Episode Description: Jack and Kate find themselves at odds over the direction to take to save their fellow island survivors, Locke further solidifies his stance as leader of "The Others," and Sawyer and Juliet come under scrutiny from the Dharma Initiative.

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I know that I had Daniel Faraday on the DeathWatch 2009 List after pre-analyzing the episode, but I never thought it would happen before the Season Finale (since I was banking on him causing the whole "Incident" thing). Holy crap. Is he actually dead? Based on next...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) When Ben brought baby Alex back to the Others camp, Widmore instructed him to kill her, claiming it is the will of Jacob. Ben challenges him by saying that if it really is the will of the Island, Widmore should be able to kill her… but Widmore refuses.

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) The other shocking guest stars all appear off-Island, most likely in the form of flashbacks. First we've got Carol Littleton (aka "Claire's Mom") and Aaron (aka "Claire's Kid"), which seemingly confirm that this week will be a Kate-centric episode, featuring flashbacks about what she...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) Episode Title: “Namaste” At the end of the last episode, Sawyer and Jin discovered that Kate, Jack, and Hurley had somehow returned to the Island - so taken quite literally "namaste" could mean "welcome" to these newcomers to the Island in the year 1977. Matthew said...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) However, any Alpert interaction with our Survivors would suddenly raise a TON of questions about the prior four seasons of Lost, since it would indicate that when our Survivors crashed on the Island in 2004, Alpert (and the Others) already knew some of them from the 1970’s…

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) You’ll also note that Caesar and Ilana appear in this episode. I’m assuming that this episode is 100% “flashback”, meaning Locke probably interacted with them before Ajira Airways Flight 316… increasing the likelihood I posed last week that they were Outcast Others, who had been “helpi...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) Fact #1 - At some point in the past, Locke turned the FDW, sending him off the Island.Fact #2 - When Jack, Kate, and Hurley return to the Island, Jin is wearing a Dharma Jumpsuit, driving a Dharma Van, and listening to Dharma Music. After Locke turned the FDW, the remaining Skipping Survivors (...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) It looks like the Female Warden accompanying Sayid DOES end up on the Island, and is seen talking to a very much alive John Locke.It looked like Widmore was actually working WITH Locke to get him back to the Island. Again, this doesn't mesh with the Ben / Widmore rivalry and race for the Island,...

By noreply@blogger.com (Brian) To me, that sure does look like some sort of light, which I’ll call the “Lighthouse Dharma Logo” because it sounds like the name of a Dharma station. Desmond and Penny WITH BABY!Sayid strangling someone.Sun pointing a gun at someone.Locke dodging the Beechcraft plane.
