Grr sweetie, I am posting this here, as I know for a fact I will exceed the character limit on replies with this + there is pictures...oh yeah there is pictures (like a whole lot of pictures), LOL. Season 3 of LOST premieres tonight, and I am just beyond excited!!!!!! I have decided to re-watch the entire finale again and add my commentary /theories, and questions in should anyone else care, basically you can consider it a real in-depth recount of the finale. So onwards with the ZOMG!!!!!!'s
LOL, I had to re-watch both episodes again, as it had been a while and I wanted to make sure I covered everything that I wish too. Though I have a feeling I'll miss something.
-FIRST: Commentary on the episode itself-
We ended the previous episode with Libby's funeral, right after Sayid's discussion on keeping an eye on Michael. Again I LOVE SAYID!!!!!!!! Because thus far he is the only one who has a sense that something is totally amiss with Michael, who coincidentally I absolutely loath.
Also, how cute was Sun' face when she first saw the boat, and what a great way to end that previous episode...dun dun dunnnnnnnnn cliffhanger!!!!! It was ok to me that they did that then, as had that been a finale cliffhanger, I would have been in agony...err, well I still am due to cliffhangers of the finale...onwards woman and focus!
So the men, and I love how it's the usual suspects all jump the boat, and bullets start flying. But I was laughing as soon as you hear the gun clicking on empty and the unmistakable Scotch accent state "dammit" amongst opera. I was all like "I know who this is!!!!!!!!"
Also, so non seq like...reason #4566373 why I LOVELOST:
Wet half naked hot men!!!!!
(^^ Those will keep me warm in the winter )
So the men kick open the hatch ala Charlie's angels, LOLZ
Oh noes!!! It's poor, sad, drunk, and apparently a redneck Des~!!!!!!♥BUT I am too happy that he's back to care!!!
Roll Credits!!1
Jack: "why'd you come back"
Desmond: "Bitch pleaze!!!! Am so over the whole Gilligan’s island thing. That was so 1964!!!
Introduction of the "bloody snow globe" theory is now introduced o_0, and how cute for Des to drunkenly roll his eyes at them still pushing the button.
OMG, what's this...we're getting Desmond's back story woo!!!
"Long live the Queen, enjoy your sodding book!!!"<-Awesomest of lines
We're now being introduced to Charles Windmore, which is another ZOMG theories thingy because we know that Windmore construction built the Swan (I think it was the swan hatch...) but more so it was a Windmore pregnancy text that Sun had used......Just saying.....
Windmore is offering Desmond the opportunity to "run away", so not only do we already have a Windmore connection to the island, but now a means to get Desmond there. My question I suppose is was this intentional, or freak set of circumstances. Desmond ends up there due to a freak storm, and usually I would say that is not possible by "the others", but we are finally seeing some type of electromagnetic control via the hatch, so at this time, I am no longer able to rule anything out.
Back to Jack & Sayid, again, it relieved me that Sayid is on to Michael and now has flat out stated that it is his belief that Michael has been turned.
In the Hatch we see a still injured Locke confront a deceivingly calm Mr. Ecko, whom I have to say I still haven’t made up my mind about him. Obviously he is yet another character with the inner turmoil with his career selections of warlord/catholic priest which either alone is enough to make someone go all "oh noes!!!", but the look he gives Locke....with that smile is really unnerving to me; such a calm before the storm, when Locke informs he that this time he will not push the button
^^"You will not tell me what I can do"
On noes, the men are fighting!!!!
Okies, Ecko has just lost some major point with me for sucker punching John, as John swung only at the compy with Ecko's Jesus stick. It's again, not sitting well with me that Ecko has just thrown John out of the hatch and tells him not to come back. I understand where Ecko is coming from as he knows that Locke is feeling desperate, but there is a sense of entitlement and ownership radiating from Ecko, and if we were to get down to it, it was Locke after all who found/and pushed for the opening of the hatch originally. Also, I think too many times peeps are discounting Locke's sixth sense on the things occurring on the island, as 9 times out of ten he has been right...well that is if course until the end of this episode (more about that shortly)
EMOLocke :(
Back above ground the distribution of the guns begins when Kate brings up Logic that honestly can't be ignored. The medical hatch at this time has already been discovered and shown, and her point of them "acting” the role of hillbillies is not only obvious, but accurate, and already despite us knowing better about Michael, I really feel he is selling the whole hillbilly thing too hard. I also object to the term hillbilly :(
^^ *sings*"we're off to see the others, the horrible other of LOoooooooooost"<-sorry...
Again, I need to state I am so loving the apathetic drunk Desmond.
^^ This has me laughing, as even the wine is Dharma brand, LOLZ!
Back to flashback Des...ohh, it's Libby...eww hate the hair
"I need a boat, oh I have a boat, you can have my boat"
Alrighties, just a smidge unbelievable, but doable, as she is an emotional mess at the moment, so it is plausible hat would happen as such. We learn her dead Husband's name is Dave, which
grrarg0908 brought up a good point that I actually did not put together, but is Dead Dave the same as Dead Looney Dave from psych ward with Hurly. Now I thought about this and I am trying to make it line up timing wise, and I think it actually could. Hurly was in the psych ward a bit ago, and while there when the episode of Hurley and Libby falling in love was occurring (episode Dave I think?), it ends with showing Libby in the psych ward at the same time as Hurley. There are a bunch of peeps who think the Libby is some black widow type person as her Dave was well off money wise, and that would be the only reason why she would fall for Hurley, because of the Lotto winnings, but I don't think so to be honest, as why can't anyone just accept that despite him not being one of the "hawt guys" that Hurley personality wise is actually a good catch. Plus, when they show Libby in psych ward, she looks basically comatose...like drooling and absolutely drugged. Now, I guess I think that if Hurley's Dave & Libby's Dave are the very same, that it is very plausible that it is just simply coincidence in timing, and that Libby & Dave met in the psych ward and fell in love then (because we know that Hurley's Dave was in psych at the same time as Hurley and now as Libby and so on so on).
Sayid has now enlisted the help of Sun & Jin under the guise of helping Michael...which in honesty I feel a little bit bad for Jin on this level because he is the only one on the island struggling with communication as everyone else is able to speak English.
Back to the trekkers, we see another appearance of the "Hurley Bird". Hurley himself asks "did that bird just say my name?" were Sawyer replies with yeah, it did (right before it crapped gold)<--dies with sawyer love. I have listened to this over and over again at top volume and have to admit that if they themselves hadn't mentioned it, that that all together would have gone over my head...cause it sure as hell doesn't sound like it to me, but everyone + their mother swear it does...so I guess...
LOLZZZZZZ, Michael is shooting, but all you hear is click click clik click. Ruh Roh shaggy, seems jack's "duplicity" is about to be exposed o_0
Jack tries to play it off as a mistake, but the look on Michael's face so proves he knows he's busted
Now we're reunited with Locke, who, and this is kind of hard for me to watch because I adore Locke, is flat out having a breakdown, and is found by Charlie in this state, where he is told that Desmond has returned to island.
Back to Sayid, who is packing to leave and is all like um, I was asking Jin only to come, not you both and Sun busts out something, like you need us both, and Sayid is all like well Desmond did it on his own, and Sun is all like and look where it got him, and I'm all like *yeah gurl *snap snap*
Back to Desmond, still on the beach, still drinking where they show Claire about to inject her baby with the ...stuff
Now this is where I get hugely WTF?!?!?! Why is this simple bitch injecting her newborn baby with some unknown substance based on the opinion of a deranged shipwrecked and deranged Russo
and an ex heroine junkie who in honesty really is trying to get in her panties, regardless of his best intentions.
Back again on the flash back scene, we get to see again the instance in which Jack & Desmond had previously met, though this time through Desmond's eyes. Now we are introduced to Penelope Windmore who proclaims she has enough money and determination to find anyone is she wanted...kind of important statement at the end. Tears are shed, and the love is felt...boo hoo. Desmond is all “I will so win the race, I have a boat now OMG's fo tha honors!!!!”
Yay, Des & Locke are reunited with "what does one snowman say to the other snowman" two of my fav men together again. This totally has me grin mode now. I love they share a swig together (Desmond is still drinking!!) where Locke rehashes his experience at the pearl. That's got to be so wtf to hear of the possibility that the last 3 years that Desmond had spent in the hatch under the impression to save the world could absolutely for nothing...that it's all a psychological experiment, they are monkeys behind the glass.
and Desmond's "whatch you talkin bout Willis" face is just priceless
And poor Des responds with the whole oh noes, you lies oh why do you tell lies
Locke breaks out with proof all like bam, let’s take a walk, I'll make the popcorn<-again, FTW!!!
Locke is all John Wayne and shit with well sober up pilgrim as we're gonna find out what happens when that button isn't pushed. As you will notice, it's night time when this is occurring.
Back to the trekkers, Michael is still behaving shady as hell and all sorts of cracked out. Again, you will notice that it's night time. I mention this, cause then we are cut to the sail boat on route to the north side of the island with sayid/sun/jin, and it's like freaking high noon?!?!?!?Okies, Okies, I know that may not be important for shit, but still...flow people, it's all about the flow. I love seeing a more laid back Jin ever since he decided to be all screw yur daddy Sun, it's me and you now awwwwwwwwww, gush and stuff BUT the we are shown this huge WTF moment that still has us all all WTF through the entire summer break
The fucker has 4 toes!!!!!!!!!! This of course has all the conspirators going apeshit. I’m like OMG, it's an alter to the Simpson's!!!!!!
Sayid makes a good point of he's not sure what bothers him most...that the rest of the statue is missing, or that it has only 4 toes.
Meanwhile, back at the hatch, Mr. Ecko is once again working on his Jesus stick.
Which if you look very closely, you might notice that he carving in passages from revelation. ZOMG!!!!Not very optimistic now are we Mr. Ecko!!
The lights starta flickerin and go caput for a moment, and we get the scary morph of the jaws theme song beginning to play where Ecko of course decides to investigate, and finds some power source tampered with.
The speaker starts a countdown that of course audibly is going in and out, in the very same fashion that happened to Locke when he was trapped under the hatch's gate. They shoot to a crazy looking Desmond who is screwing around with the wiring, most likely to cause a count down to lure Ecko. Dude, I loves me some drunk crazy Scottish men!!!!!!!
Ecko hauls ass, and misses of course, the gates crash down and now Locke has the Jesus stick with Ecko screaming on the other side.
Des asks "are you sure about this” and john replies more sure than anything in my entire life"
"All right boss man, Now we wait"
Flash back again to Desmond finally sailing (not sure if at this time he is officially in the race, or still training for it) while in the midst of a pretty bad storm at sea. He knocked out, and we are thrown forward to day light with him on the beach unconscious.
As he comes to, he's met with this shit
Granted, it's one person, and we now he's drugged through the jungle by a rope through some exceptionally annoying camera work, and then flash to Des in the sick bed with a man demanding to know if "are you him?" We’re now introduced to Kelvin Joe Inman, who if y'all remember is the one that got Sayid to turn in his superior officer in the gulf war when he was in the republican army. Of course this is not the HIM, the unknown Him as referred to by the others, but I am assuming his replacement, as he has been waiting for quite sometime.
Oh, and importantly, he informs Desmond that his boat was never found, and Des is introduced to the Swan way of life, rotated on every 108 mins.
Des is then shown the infamous orientation movie
Again we're hearing of "the incident" that has lead to the protocol of the button being pushed every 108 mins.
This is now when we first hear of Radzinsky, who is Inman's former partner that ultimately committed suicide. There are bunch of peeps that think the possibility of Fenry (fake Henry) being in actuality Radzinsky but I don't think I am able to subscribe to that as they show the splatter marks on the ceiling of the hatch. Again, mention of infection that we are first told of by Russo is mentioned.
Back to today, Ecko is still pretty p.o'd at the boys and Desmond is all OMGZ, you locked out a priest, LOLZ!
Ecko climbs out and I get the impression is seeing something for the first time, which in his defense would have me all WTF too
On the beach, Charlie is playing guitar(which may I add, Driveshaft is the absolute lamest fucking band!!!!!!)where frantic echo enlists him again for aid. They begin back to the hatch.
Back to the trekkers, and it's daylight again, ?!?!?! Sawyer discusses his theories of the other's even including a bullshit of possibly being aliens. Now I know he doesn't think that, I honestly think it was a shout out to us fans who have been discussing all of this on the webernets. Kate informs them they are being followed and together they proceed to start shooting. Sawyer makes his mark and kills one of the others while the second get away, and next thing we know Jack is spilling it all how the others already know they are coming anyways as they have already been warned!
We are now treated to sexy angry Sawyer, rawrrrrrrr!!!!!
Confrontation FINALLY happens, regarding being led under false pretenses, down to the murders of Ana Lucia and Libby. What strikes me all odd, is that they seem more pissed at Jack that Freaking Michael.
The boat crew arrives at the rock.
Charlie leads Ecko to the remaining Dynamite....errr rather the nitro glycerin on a stick. Crazy Ecko is now rigging the station to blow open the doors.
Back in flash back mode, we see Inman work some more of the map on the door that Radzinsky started. This is when we learn of his suicide.
(^^ Meet Radzinsky)
We get to hear the bitterness from Inman regarding Dharma. Also, he denies Des the opportunity to leave the hatch at all, he's now been underground for 2 years.
Back to today hatch, Ecko is still wiring the door, when he proves to Charlie that the button is not all bullshit. Dialog and banter between Locke & Ecko is not only hostile & mocking, but priceless.
Ecko of course blows his wad.
In flash back mode we are shown the failsafe
We are FINALLY!!!!!!! Told exactly what the purpose of the button is, and that they key is basically when the shit hits the fan plan b thing.
Locke and Des meanwhile get all existential and sshit.
Sayid on the rock is scaling a cliff and moving himself into position while sneaking into what they think is the camp of the others
(^^gratuitious hawt shot of sexy Sayid)
Sayid investigates and discovers OMG!! wait for it...wait for it......
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! You know what would have been better than nothing? ANYTHING!!!
The trekkers continue on, all in pissy mode now that everything is out in the open when they find
All of the reporting of the Swan from the Pearl. This kind of leads me to believe that the Pearl too was also under observation, and filled their reports in faith.
Yet again, Michael is caught lying when we hear the spooky voices.
Chaos ensues when everyone is taken down with darts.
At the hatch, Locke lays out his evidence to Des who is still doubtful when Locke whips out all the printed material from the Pearl.
In flash back mode, Inman makes preparations to leave again, ala hazmat suit when Des notices
Ohhhhhhh something is smelling fishy me suspects :)
Des grows some balls, follows and observers
Continuing, again the question of "dude, where's my car boat if finally answered.
Nice ass shot of Desmond too by the way :)
Fight finally occurs as Inman knows he's being followed, where he basically puts it out how he was grooming Des to be his fail safe, the new sucker.
"what about the button?!?!?!?" "Screw The button!"
We see des knock him on his ass with now pretty bad head wound and I assume Des takes him for dead...but this has never been confirmed. So if Inman is not dead, where is he now...is he part of the others?
Rushing back to the hatch, Des discovers he has missed the countdown and everything is in system failure. We are treated to a new counter
Ohhhh,omnouslicious!!!
After a few tense seconds with shit flying everywhere, we think all is ok, as the counter resets itself.
Back in the hatch we learn this was not the case
We now know this showdown occurred on the same day as the plane crash!!!!!!!
"my bad, I fucked up your plane, hehehe"
Meanwhile, we are finally given a sex scene
Oh wait ,never mind, it's just the others holding everyone captive. Some names are released by mistake, and the beards finally come off. Michael is kinda looking guilty, but it's a little too late for that shit to me, he's a bad bad man.
Boat arrives as per Michaels demand, and Fenry steps off
I cannot be alone in thinking he is the creepiest looking mofo on the island.
Okies, Fenry is all like to Tom” where is your beard" and replies I think they already know...this sticks in my head, because for some reason I had assumed that they knew that the crashers knew they were in costume. When the ladies found the medical hatch, for some reason I had assumed that the others would have gotten wind of them being there.
At the hatch, post explosion on the other side of the door, Charlie can't hear, and Ecko is all sorts of fucked up.
Meanwhile Des has put 2 + 2 together and is urging the button to be pushed. John trashed the computer with three mins on the clock, and Des is all like Dude, we're dead now, thanks a whole bunch.
Flash back again to some day after the plane has crashed were des is chugin on a bottle and loading a gun. We see him finally open the dickens book, our mutual friend, which most likely means he's headin on suicide road too except an envelope addressed to him falls out. Inside is a mushy gushy ray of hope for Des, a letter from Penelope.
Nope, that doesn't do it, Des proceeds to freak-out in rock star style but is stopped by the sound of banging and yelling.
OMG, it's Locke in a state of his own freaking out.
Back to real time, we're down to30 secs on the clock and OMG this is just too much agonizing tension for me!!!!!!!!!!!
Des grabs his trusty key and goes to save all of their collective asses, and leaves with the parting words of "i'll see in you in another life brother"
Everything is in catastrophic meltdown OH SHIT mode, and Locke just stands there!!! Absolutely bewildered while shit is flying
Then we finally see this, which is what I call the "OH SHIT" factor
We're again shown a Locke face to Face with Mr Ecko, and Locke I think is finally scared where we get the best line of the show evah!!!!!!!!
"I was wrong."
Desmond meanwhile is at the last resort, throws in a hail mary for goodwill
Gut wrenching emotion is thrown at us with him flashing back on the letter and remembering himself stroking penny's face, when he mutters I love you Penny.
Everything goes white and then!!!!!!
Sonic goes BOOM! Accompanies by what South Park would most likely call "the brown noise",LOL
But then it just stops. And the only evidence that we are shown that something bad has happened is
Clean up now proceeds with a still borderline deaf Charlie returns to the beach where we learn that Locke/Ecko/Desmond have not returned (yet?). And here we begin the cliff hangers for next season with that note.
Meanwhile, while sittin on the dock of the bay, Fenry & Michael discuss the leaving arrangement when Fenry makes a very interesting comment
"I'm not happy about the arrangement made with you Michael, but we got more than we bargained for when Walt joined us"
To me, the previous quote can be interpreted in sooooo many ways. a.)Now I am believing that Fenry could possibly be "him", or at the very least one of the most in charge of the others. b.)Walt is one spooky dooky kid, either he truly opened up something new for the others for their benefit, more than they could had hoped for or
c.)Walt was spookily dookliy to them too, and want him as far away as possible from the island, which is why they even considered Michael's demands for the boat.
Fenry gives him instructions to bear on his compass of 325 and h & Walt will be rescued.
Fenry also states that he will never find the island again once he leaves....though I am not quite so sure as
a.)They will never escape, and end back on the island in the same manner that Desmond did, where Michael will basically be an outcast on both sides. Neither side wants someone with no loyalty
b.) they are being set up, and this was all an easy way to get the crasher’s to the others
ALSO!!! Michael then says "My friends, I was promised you would not hurt them"
Umm, huge news flash hun, as I know you're out of the loop being on an island...they are no longer your friends.
Michael the asks "who are you people"
and Fenry replies "we're the good guys Michael"
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
We are also shown this
which my spidey senses tell me will be key in the future...a clue if you will
Meanwhile, Hurley is released. And I found it odd that the other woman referred to him as Hugo instead of Hurley like everyone else...but then again, they know everyone one by their given names ..i.e Sawyer/James
Ordered back to the beach without the rest of the scooby gang with an order to tell the beach bums to never come to that side of the island (dude this is so west side story!!!!!) and that his friends will be going home with "the others"
Michael FINALLY leaves and we see what he has done
Lastly, everyone's head is covered before we fade to black then to the beach.
On the beach it seems that Clair and Charlie have finally made amends and then we get a kiss!
Fade to black...end island for the season
BUT...it’s not quite over
this is in the artic where a call is placed to none other than Penny. Obviously some type of tracker, I myself am thinking when the island went Kaboom, it lifted some type of shield where for a brief window of time the island could possibly be plotted. Now, they were all like "say we didn’t miss it again", I think the again could be in reference to the first time that Desmond missed the count down and the plane had crashed. The plane at that time was able to not only be drawn out of the sky due to magnetism, but also actually land on the island and surrounding waters that are usually non potable.
*whew*
Dude this so kicked my ass
-SECOND-What wasn’t covered this season-
Smoke monster…they almost forgot about it entirely.
How Locke ended up in a chair (I think it had to do with his con father)
Does Jack’s tats have any significance?
Why 108? As I mentioned to Grrarrg, that number is so important in eastern philosophies, that and Dharma?
Also there seemed to be a huge odyssey theme going, and Penelope, while waiting for Odysseus to return had 108 suitors?!?!?1
-THIRD-what we have been promised to find this season-
WHO ARE THE OTHERS?
WHO WILL KATE FALL FOR
WHY WAS LOCKE IN A WHEELCHAIR?
WHO IS THE FATHER OF SUN'S UNBORN BABY?
(I think it’s Jin, I really do. The island seams to heal)
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE HATCH?
DID MICHAEL AND WALT ESCAPE?
WHAT IS DHARMA DOING WITH THE KIDS?
WHO IS LIBBY?
IS CLAIRE JACK'S HALF-SISTER?
(I say yes)
