I’ll still watch for cool shit like Jack pulling a knife out of his gut and flinging it into someone’s neck across the room or Jack getting caught by Russians and just wait to see how long before he turns the tables (45 minutes) but, otherwise, the less said about this season, the better
It’s great seeing Terry O’Quinn – easily the best actor on Lost – toggle between NotLocke on the island and a seemingly more accepting of his situation Looke in LA X.
Unlike Kate’s flash sideway where, despite the details she was essentially the same person she had become on the island, Locke’s was a completely different story and infinitely more interesting. Considering he’s dead on the island, I guess it would have been piling it on if he didn’t find contentment in LA X
I love the pairing between NotLocke and Sawyer because Holloway and O’Quinn haven’t shared many scenes together on the show (nothing really significant since ‘The Brig”).
The numbers! (Just for a recap: 4 – Locke (John); 8 – Reyes (Hurley); 15 – Ford (Sawyer); 16 – Jarrah (Sayid); 23 – Shephard (Jack); 42 – Kwon (Sun and/or Jin)
Ben’s eulogy and Lapidus’ reaction
Speaking of Ben, another “oh shit!” LA X moment when Ben showed up as the European history teacher in Locke’s high school
Other great connections, Hugo in the parking lot and Rose at the temp agency making the most of her one scene with Locke. It was only appropriate that she was the one who set Locke straight on accepting his limitation considering they were the ones healed on the island.
It’s always great to have Katey Sagal on my TV screen now that Sons of Anarchy isn’t on
Richard Alpert scurrying through the woods like a scared deer
What I Didn’t Like:
If Sun and Jin miss each other on her way to the temple, I’m going to be really annoyed.
I know Sawyer is distraught over Juliet but for a con man, he’s way too trusting of NotLocke
I don’t know if it’s been the snow, my general boredom or something I haven’t been able to identify but I’ve been contemplating finally leaving New York.
If I did leave, the only place I’d want to go is Los Angeles for a variety of reasons (already have friends out there, weather, etc.).
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE New York. No matter where I ended up, I would still say New York is the greatest place in the world but lately that isn’t enough. I’m bored. I’ve lived in here my entire life (even went to New York University) and think some change would do me good. When I used to talk shit to my non-New York friends, I would cite how nothing ever closes and if I woke up at 1 AM and still wanted to go out, I could. The thing is I’m not going to do that. When I go out now, I’m most likely getting before what would be closing time everywhere else.
Then again, I’d miss my friends and family not to mention my sports teams (The thought of not being able to see the Yankees regularly actually weighed heavily on my mind as I was debating this) but moving might be fun. It also might be a terrible decision but at least it would be interesting.
We’ll see.
(Don’t worry, given my financial situation and lease, it would take me at least a year to safely move)
Well, I’m not a fan of Kate-flashback/forward/sideways episodes so I’m glad we got it out of the way early
Since I recently rewatched seasons one and two of Lost, I can fully appreciate the growth of Josh Holloway as an actor. The scene with Kate on the pier mourning Juliet should be his Emmy reel.
Naveen Andrews playing Sayid but not really Sayid. He was clearly a little off and it showed.
I’m glad we’re done with the Dogen speaks/Lennon translates dynamic. It was wearing thin fast.
How creepy was Ethan showing up as Claire’s obstetrician?
Since Sawyer is in mourning, Miles has picked up the slack in witty lines
I’m glad Jin finally mentioned Sun. Jack got her on the plane and hasn’t thought about her for one second since.
Jack finally did something smart in not giving Sayid the pill and forcing Dogen’s hand
As a huge It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia fan, it was great to see Rob McElhenny back as Aldo
The last shot of island Claire!
What I Didn’t Like:
Well, it was a Kate episode. Her backstory has never been compelling and we had skipped her flash-sideway, I wouldn’t have complained in the end.
I missed the NotLocke part of the story
Something is going to need to happen in the Temple. This is getting to be too much like the last time they were prisoners of the Others. A lot of standing around, asking questions and not getting answered
