WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!!
Over the past four years LOST has been doing crazy things to my mind. Often I find myslf too smart for television (example: I knew who the killer was on Monday night's CASTLE over 20 minutes before the characters did). However, LOST never fails to keep me guessing. Like when Paolo and Nikki were buried alive - I was hoping for a good death for the lackluster Boone and Shannon replacements that made me actually feel nostalgic for Evil Francie, but that was just brilliant. The double-death of Ana-Lucia and Libby was also a mind blower. PS whatever happened to Libby? She was in the cookoo house with Hurley and then suddenly well enough to sell Desmond her ill-fated sail boat. Hmmmmm I guess only time will tell, as it seems that Libby will soon be returning to my favorite island.
And who can forget the wonder that is the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet love quadrangle...which grows ever increasingly intricate as the seasons progress. I'm not gonna lie and say that I'm not still hoping for the Kate/Sawyer corner to win out over any other budding island relationship. One relationship I can't wait for?? Why, I'm glad you asked....even though we won't be seeing this for more than six months from now, I'm already psyched up for the Jack/Claire half-sibling reunion. After blondie freaked out and went to live in Jacob's cabin with her dead(?) daddy Christian, it was only a matter of time before Jackie boy found out about his 'lil sis - and ever since he did in season 4's finale, I've been awaiting Emilie de Ravin's return.
Now on to some of the best/craziest/mind blowing LOSTisms.
1. Benry - oh how I long for the time when my only question about Ben Linus was what his real name was. Cause it certainly wasn't Henry Gale (who's driver's liscense said that he lived down the street from where I grew up - creepy no??)
2. Boone's death - it was so heartbreaking and will remain one of my favorite LOST moments of all time
3. The CONSTANT - last season's partner to the 100th episode blew everyone LOSTie away....what exactly did Farady mean by Desmond Hume is my constant???? i guess we'll find out tonight! fingers crossed.
4. Walt in the pizza roll commercial - doesn't really have anything to do with LOST...but it was a shock to see little Walt all grown up and eating pizza rolls with his buddies, and a new-found lower register
5. Sayid - this guy is AWESOME...he's a torturer, actually made me like and subsequently miss Shannon, loves killing people and isn't afraid to tell you his feelings or stick a reed under your fingernails
6. Kate/Sawyer - speaking of sticking reeds under fingernails...the begining of this ill-fated relationship (i mean seriously! how many times can the island tear these two apart??) was defintely forshawdowing thier future pain...i guess love does hurt
7. Rousseau - this crazy french lady whose origins were fully revealed this season posthumously gave little more information about her antics.....even in death she continues to surprise
8. the other island - yes it's exactly what you think- ANOTHER CRAZY ISLAND where just as crazy stuff happens - example: the four-toed statue? carl's brainwashing? the polar bear zoo? the new "other others"? no one really knows what's going to happen there next
9. the pilot - there has never been a pilot like LOST. the CGI looks better in the pilot than in some of the episodes this season. The character introductions were exquisite (even though we didn't really learn anything) and i will never forget the sight of Shannon standing there and screaming her blonde little head off while everyone else at least tried to be helpful
10. Charlie - love me some Charlie. his death was the saddest and most heart-wrenching of all LOST deaths. his complete love for Claire was heartwarming (remember his list and the peanut butter?). And what's his deal now? is he hanging out with Ana-Lucia and Eko? or just in Hurley's mind? or in my mind??? whichever it is, I'm thankful for all of the time we had with the "you all everybody" guitarist and member of DriveShaft.
oh dear...how quickly time passes....it's almost time for my weekly LOST party to start. soon the lights will be going out and my apartment will be slient. From what I've heard, tonight's episode may be one of the best of the whole run and there will definitely be some knowledge bombs dropped on us for sure.
