Blogging While Watching LOST: Because You Left

by Christina Gleason on January 21, 2009

Dr. Marvin Candle has a baby! Dr. Chang? He’s got a stage name!

Daniel Faraday is back with DHARMA in the Orchid Station back in the 1970s? When the worker made the flip remark about time travel… Faraday obviously has time traveled. Back. Definitely back, since he was still doing experiments with his rats in 1996. He didn’t travel forward from the ’70s. Right?

Yay, Jack shaved!

Locke warned Jack that Sawyer, Juliet and everyone from the boat would die if he and the rest of the Oceanic 6 didn’t come back to the island. Does that mean their dead at the time of Locke’s death? Or they will die?

Three years earlier. Bright light. The island moved. Locke is alone and the Others have vanished. Daniel knew what was happening, and knew they were “within the radius.”

The camp disappeared. No camp, no tents, no food and water? IT HASN’T BEEN BUILT YET. They went back in time! How long? To the 1970s, back when the orientation films were being made? Which is why we saw him in the Orchid at the beginning of the episode? WTH?

Aaron is so freaking cute. He reminds me of my son. “Goober.” LOL. And someone knows that Aaron is not Kate’s son. Who? Even Widmore wouldn’t know that. At least Kate knows all about how to go on the run.

Hello, shirtless Sawyer!

The island is like a record that’s skipping. Hence the visual at the beginning of the episode with the skipping record.

Was that just the plane with the smugglers who grabbed Eko’s brother Yemi? It totally was!

And… Ethan shot at Locke? Looking ageless like Richard Alpert? Are we just going to see tons of dead people alive again because they… didn’t die yet? This is going to be a really freaking confusing episode. Season. (As if the previous seasons weren’t?)

And the light flashed again, just before Locke got shot again. When are they now?

Sun is in France? Or Canada? Or was it just a random fluke that I heard French over the PA system? Widmore has her locked in airport security to teach her respect. And their common interest is to kill Ben. Makes sense to me.

“Maybe if you ate more comfort food, you wouldn’t have to go around shooting people.” LOL Hurley!

We’ve seen this hotel before. Was this where Anthony Cooper was?

Sayid doesn’t work for Ben anymore. And he just tossed some guy off a balcony. And impaled another guy on some sharp knives in the dishwasher. And random witness snapped a picture of Hurley with a gun on his camera phone. Uncool. Certainly doesn’t help dispel the story about him killing the man outside the mental facility.

So they’re in the future now. And Daniel is trying to explain string theory?

Good thing Locke wasn’t located under where the plane ended up falling. Suddenly occupying the same space as a plane would be more painful than getting shot.

The island natives don’t move through time. Richard stayed put. Only outsiders move. Richard told Locke that the only way to get “his people” back to the island is to die. Umm… how does that make sense?

It would be so disorienting to bounce around in time, having planes appear in the air, on the ground, and in a tree. In the wrong order.

LOL at Juliet explaining to Miles about how Desmond pushed the button every 108 minutes to save the world.

Aww, Sawyer. :-(

Oh dear. Charlotte’s nose is bleeding. She’s not going to survive the next flash, is she?

The rules don’t apply to Desmond because he’s special? What does that mean?

Desmond “remembered” Daniel’s message about finding his mother at Oxford. It did work! Still not sure what Daniel meant about the rules not applying to Desmond… but I’m sure we’ll learn more about that soon enough.

Next ep!
