Blogging While Watching LOST: The Lie

by Christina Gleason on January 21, 2009

So we’re back on Penny’s boat, before they became the Oceanic 6. Hurley was the only one wanted to tell the truth instead of lying about what happened after the plane crash.

Ana-Lucia was the cop who pulled Hurley over? Oh dear. At least she’s giving him good advice about laying low. “Do not get arrested.” And Libby says hi? Dead people sure are helpful.

Back on the beach. With Neil Frogurt!

And our two nickname boys had a Dr. Wizard / Mr. Wizard back and forth.

This cashier chick remembers that Hurley won the lottery and survived a plane crash, but obvious hasn’t watched a TV since the previous night, even though there’s one on in the gas station.

“Mommy, I wanna go home.” Aww. Who’s meeting Kate in LA? Cassidy? Who else could it be?

Well, Ben’s not a complete bad guy. He flushed Jack’s pills down the toilet. Jack’s packing for a one way trip, never to come back. And he’s okay with that. Ben wouldn’t give Jack a straight answer about Locke being dead.

Expose! Razzle dazzle!

“Hey dad. How’s it going?” Oh, and never mind the unconscious Iraqi slung across my shoulders.

Was that Abaddon with the LAPD? Too distorted through the glass to tell.

“You killed three people?”
“No. Sayid did.”
“Oh, that’s better.”

And Sun called Kate, and is in LA.

Who is Ben’s butcher friend? Jill? Have we met her before? Someone please remind me.

Why won’t Daniel tell Charlotte she’s about to die?

Flaming arrows of death? What’s that all about? It looks like we don’t have to listen to Neil Frogurt whining anymore. He was wearing a red shirt tonight, right?

That’s a lot of arrows. How many archers were out there? Unless they were using crossbows, there had to be an awful lot of people firing those suckers, because they take time to nock and shoot.

Sun and Kate had quite a girl talk. Sun did bring up a good point. If the lawyers really wanted to expose the lie, they would have just done it. They didn’t need a blood test to get the lie out in the open. Who wants Aaron? Widmore? How would he even know? I’m guessing that Ben was behind it – his way to get Kate on the run, and more likely to go along with the plan to go back to the island. Yeah, that’s what I think is going on.

Jack told Hurley’s dad that he was taking Sayid to the hospital, but instead he’s going to keep him close. For the trip back to the island. Not that it’s going to happen tonight. I have a feeling that it’s going to take all season for them to try to get back to the island, if not ’til the end of the series.

Hurley’s gonna crack. He’s going to tell him mom. He’s telling his mom. Oh dear. Well, it’s obvious his mom thinks he’s just crazy. It’s funny though… It’s how people look at me when I try to explain what LOST is about!

Wait, she believes him?

Ow, what did Sawyer step on? His foot looks nasty!

“What are you doing on our island?” Um, I think Juliet and Sawyer should ask, “Who the hell are you?”

Hurley just threw his Hot Pocket against the wall. (By the way, the microwave was way too clean, considering he cooks Hot Pockets without so much as a paper plate or paper towel underneath.)

Ben sounds awfully convincing. But Sayid did tell Hurley to do the opposite of whatever he said. I just didn’t expect him to go surrender to the cops.

Who were those guys who wanted to cut off Juliet’s hand? Locke showed up just in the nick of time!

Mrs. Faraday? No, she’s the… what was she called? The sherriff? Is that who it was? Or was it the woman from the watch shop?

70 hours? What happens in 70 hours? Tell me what happens in 70 hours! Is this whole season going to only span 70 hours in Oceanic 6 time?

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!

Frozen Donkey Wheel, Time Travel, and Time Discrepancies

July 28, 2008

Okay, so we know that, when Ben turned the frozen donkey wheel that moved the island, he was thrown about 10 months into the future, and he landed in Tunisia. Did the island move forward into the future, too? If it did, that would help answer a few questions, even if the science of time [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: There’s No Place Like Home (Part 2)

May 29, 2008

Here it is! I’ve got butterflies in my stomach! Tiny coffin in the previous scenes… do we learn who was in it? Kate’s backing up… from the end of last season’s finale! Jeremy Bentham? “You believed him? Him, of all people?” To keep Kate and Aaron safe. Kate’s reaming Jack out pretty good… I’m not [...]

Pop-Up LOST: Cabin Fever

May 21, 2008

16-year-old Emily, dancing to Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” in the 1950s. Look at that belt… she really didn’t look like she could be six months pregnant. I like Horace’s tie-dye t-shirt underneath his DHARMA jumpsuit. Emily did run straight past Richard Alpert when she ran out of the room crying, I think. She didn’t notice him. [...]

Did Ben flash forward? Or time travel?

April 26, 2008

Okay, I don’t think time travel is as much fun as my own pet time theory, but I now have to seriously consider it. When we saw Ben land on his back in the middle of the Sahara Desert in Tunisia, was it a flash forward? Or is that where he went when he ran [...]

Schroedinger’s Cat Doctor

April 25, 2008

Vincent’s barking alerts Bernard to a dead body washing up on the shore of the beach. The body is that of the Kahana doctor. When Daniel gets the radio working enough to send Morse code to and from the ship, he tells them about the doctor’s body washing up on shore, and (to paraphrase) is [...]

Entertainment Weekly article explains LOST questions

March 7, 2008

There is some excellent time travel confirmation, Desmond clarification, and more going on in this EW article with Doc Jensen and Damon Lindelof. Personally, I can’t wait for the upcoming episode that revisits Desmond’s flashbacks with the course-correction that follows his time travel adventures. Quote of the century: Lightning flashed. Frank pulled up and out [...]

Extras from “The Constant,” Pop Up Video Edition

March 6, 2008

Look at that. Actual confirmation that Desmond is time traveling, due to the lack of “swoosh” sound. Desmond is at Camp Millar. And there’s my confirmation that, and I quote, “time works differently on the island,” per Daniel’s rocket. The time was indeed synchronized when it started out. Anyone who had offered up the suggestion [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: The Constant

February 28, 2008

Oh crap, don’t tell me this really is time travel. What’s up with Desmond seemingly flashing literally from past to present? “Your perception of how long your friends have been gone isn’t necessarily how long they’ve actually been gone.” BOOYAH! *does a little time theory victory dance* And look at that. It’s the freighter! Is [...]
