Lost: The Aftermath

Feb 02, 2010 22:51

Join me as I meta ramble and flail and snark at Lost season 6 after each episode airs, either the night of or the morning after. Wednesday used to be Lost day and now it is after-Lost day. Ow, my brain!

Spoilers for the season 6 premiere, natch!

LAX

I think Damon and Carlton got the wrong initials there: it should be W.T.F.

Random thoughts from moi, in no particular order.

They've ripped off Fringe and have gone with the parallel reality thing! Which is kind of cool, but I'm just along for the ride. This isn't grabbing me like the time jumps did from the get-go, so we'll see.

Who is cool in Reset Land: Jack, Locke (OH SEASON ONE LOCKE OF AWESOME, HOW I MISSED YOU!), preggers Claire (cause preggers Claire was pretty fun and kind of went downhill after that), Sawyer. Hurley, Rose and Bernard (natch)

Who is frakking lame in Reset Land: Charlie (lay off the drugs, dude!), Kate (DIETY OF CHOICE ON A FRAKKING CRACKER, I DON'T WANT TO WATCH KATE DO HER FUGITIVE ROUTINE OF FAIL FOR THE 500TH TIME THIS SEASON, FTL!), Jin, back to being Asshole Extraordinaire, and Sun, back to being mega, mega lame. Blerg.

Theory: Juliet is the new Desmond. I'm not sure what that entails, but they both blew up the Swan station so methinks there will be time jumping shenanigans and other awesome things afoot for these two (and apparently ghostly plane appearances if you're Desmond - that was weird)

Fun theory: JULIET IS TOTES ALIVE IN THE ALTERNATE WORLD AND SHE AND SAWYER WILL MEET EPICALLY THERE AND IT WILL BE EPIC.

Also: Juliet was totes channeling her alt world self right before she died when she was rambling at Sawyer and saying "it worked!" via ouija board Miles.

And: I freaking ADORE Miles.

Also also: I wish this episode wasn't quite as rushed - Juliet's rescue and subsequent death scene felt way too fast, as did Sayid's "death." And this coming from the show that drug things out so long that one time Ethan hung Charlie that I was completely convinced he was dead and then cried like a baby when he came back to life finally.

I laughed for about 10 minutes at the reveal of the temple, not gonna lie. Or sorry THE TEMPLE! Cause it's epic, idk. Seriously, John Lennon wannabe wanders around translating for Shogun wannabe with a bunch of hippies and turban wearing Jacob worshipers and they have medieval weaponry even though the gang at New Otherton has things like, oh, GUNS, and is there some sort of Other hierarchy with temple dwellers vs. Dharmaville peeps (and can you imagine Juliet doing her orientation at the Temple of Teh Jacob? HILARIOUS) and THIS ENTIRE PLOTLINE IS FRAKKING NUTS! Like, they discovered Shangri-la or something? WTFPOLARBEAR.

Theory: Smokey Locke wants to go home to ANOTHER ISLAND perhaps? So Smoke Monster is really ... Godzilla! It makes so much sense.

What is going to happen with Ben now?? I have no clue where he goes after stabbing Abercrombie and Fitch Jesus (aka Jacob) and discovering that Smokey Locke is UBER UBER EVIL, MWAHAHA. Yipes.

Richard in chains reference: slave aboard the Black Rock, or Island Cabana boy of yore?

WHEN ARE SUN AND JIN GETTING REUNITED ALREADY, SHEESH.

Hurley gets more awesome with every passing second.

Not!Dead Sayid: The new Ben (thanks to his magical temple treatment, which is totes karma) or the new immortal Richard? Or the new Jacob? Hm...

Note to Jacob: Just fed-ex it next time! Sending messages in large wooden ankhs is SO B.C.E
