LOST is still fucking awesome
OMG, Lost was SO GOOD tonight. I was in suspense for most of the second half, totally caught up in it. I don't know why people have given up on this amazing show. I haven't had this much faith in a show to take me on a wild journey and NOT disappoint me since Joss Whedon was on TV. And even Joss didn't have this much intrigue and suspense going on.
God damn, Lost, look what you're doing to me. Gah.
And yes, of course there were new mysteries and new questions brought up in this episode. It would be absolutely boring if there wasn't. But that's what makes it so much FUN! Plus, there was also tons of stuff brought to light, and tons of information we didn't have before. Maybe I'm abnormal because I like entertainment to make me think? I really don't care to have it all spelled out and wrapped up neatly by the end of an episode or season. I'd much rather have them lay little clues for me along the way and try to confound me at every step instead of babying me and making it all so clear and easy to understand. What's the fun in that?!
That being said, this episode was great...and just makes me desperate for more. Once again, like it was in the 1st season, I'm left with that feeling that I just can't wait til next Wednesday. Oh Lost, you are like crack. Hmmm...I guess that makes me a crackwhore?
Also, there was some seriously creepy stuff in this episode! I don't scare easily but I definitely jumped at a couple moments. When young Ben was in the woods looking for his mom I totally had my fingers halfway over my eyes! And then when Locke was in Jacob's cabin I was seriously getting a little freaked out, my hands over my mouth the whole time.
I just don't know what to think about that one....on one hand it could totally be all Ben's doing. Of course my first thought was that Ben's gone apeshit crazy!! That seemed to explain a lot of things, and I don't blame Locke for being logical about this one. Some of those "effects" that occurred when Jacob got "angry" were a little, ok a lot, cheesy. Just like what I'd imagine in some crappy carnival attraction. Then again, you stop and think about the island and you think, dude, this could actually be real. And if it IS real, then WHAT.THE.FUCK? I've taken a lot in stride in this show. Smoke monsters, polar bears, etc, but this is way freaky. And yet it would never stop me from watching the show, because I know that somehow they'll make it all work. Guh.
Also, I STILL don't trust Juliet. Even if she did finally tell them the truth about the upcoming beach raid. It'll take me a lot more than that to warm up to one of The Others. I have sympathy for her and her backstory, yes, but I still don't trust her 100%. And what's up with Jack not telling everyone as soon as he found out??! He waited way, way too long. Yeah he was trying to come up with a plan, but everyone deserved to know and he's not King of Beachland. I still love Sayid. I will have total trust in him until they give me a real reason not to. And then I will hate them for it. And Locke. He was my favorite from day 1, and although I thought he was acting a little weird at the end of last season and beginning of this one (I just couldn't get behind his behavior because I didn't know what the hell he was up to), I think I'm seeing more of the Locke that I loved from the start. And maybe I'm having a Sirius moment here, but I definitely don't think he's dead. The island heals people, right? It's done it before and goddamnit it'll do it again. In other words, if they just killed off Locke I WILL BE VERY, VERY UNHAPPY!!!
