LOST is breaking my brain. Holy Cow.
Okay so. ONLY some of them got sent back 30 years. INTERESTING. I figure that of course The Island has sent some folks to the time when things were just groovy on the Island. Pregnant women weren't dying. There was still a truce with the natives, The Hostiles. Horace was still head-dog. And Ben of course was a creepy kid, but not a mass murdering ego-maniac. Yet. Stop Ben. Save the Island right? Save the cheerleader, save the world....
But why is Sun, John, and Frank now still in the present? Hmmmmm - are they supposed to look for signs left by their friends? Kill Ben now? WHAT?!
Did Dan stay way in the past? Or get off the Island? We know that he isn't there "anymore" according to Mr. LeFleur. And we've seen him in one quick flash back when they were first digging through the rock that led to the time traveling wheel of fun. So is it "where" is he or "when" is he?
I'm feeling mad at Kate. I haven't felt mad at Kate in years. But now, I'm wondering just WHY she went back to the Island. If it was to be with Sawyer again - I'm going to be very very angry. She had made a life with Jack - which YES he screwed up - but he loves her. She loves him. Right? I mean really - she was going to MARRY the guy. She wanted him to get his act together and live with her an Aaron. So what is it she's really looking for? And dammit, Sawyer has finally and REALLY found himself. He's content.
So Sawyer. Yeah. I'm going to stick up for the guy - I know - shocking. But he's really found his niche. He let Kate go. He found a new life and new LOVE with Juliet. He's actually being a part of something and somewhat of a leader. Now is his time to do something good. If he allows himself to get sidetracked by Kate, oh it's just gonna burn my gut.
I like Sawyer and Juliet together in a way that I honestly never had thought I would. It's surprising. And pleasing. And Juliet needs to be able to keep him and not have to compete with Kate.
I love the twist with Jack having to take a bit of a backseat and let Sawyer do some "thinking". It was a great scene where Sawyer told him that he had just reacted and look how that ended. And while Jack is still stubbornly trying to make things happen - I think that he's going to take a step back and not have the lead all of the time. After all he's there because he's been riddled with guilt and uncertainty since getting off The Island. At the core of it - he doesn't want to screw it up. I love my Jack and look forward to this change in him.
Ultimately - I'm saying it again - I want my Jack and Kate to get back together. I still do - but she's being a bitch right now.
We don't know if Juliet and Sawyer have been keeping an eye on young nerdy Ben. We have to assume that they know him by now right? It's been 3 years. Have they honestly not figured out that they are there to stop something terrible from happening ala Ben?
Remember in Ben's flashback years ago that he met a Hostile and liked him, Richard? Well has that meeting now been replaced with meeting Sayid? Is Sayid gonna kill the boy?I'm actually, surprisingly, a little heart broken this morning of Ms. Natasha Richardson's untimely and sudden passing last night. She was a mother. A wife. My heart just breaks for her family right now. Ouch.
I did a slight FRIENDS CUT. Old icon communities, people that no longer talk to or comment on (and visa versa), etc. Absolutely nothing personal. Believe me, if I have a problem with you - you'd know.
Deb sent me this
funny article today on Twitter. And even though I'm trying Twitter out, I kinda feel the same as the author!
