Lost S5 Premiere thoughts
I did feel a bit of a disconnect between the first and second hours, separate “episodes” I suppose. Not plot-wise or anything, but definitely pace-wise. The first hour just hit you in the gut with whammy after whammy, all this amazing action and crazy stuff happening, and then the pace slacked considerably in the second hour. Not that it was slow or anything, but it felt like I was just watching the second episode in the season, not the second hour of 2 -hour finale. Not a huge deal AT ALL but just something I thought I’d throw out there.
I cannot really go there with the plot right now, well at least not too in-depth, except to say that I LOVED IT. I loved all the shocks and surprises and I am really really excited about it. I love how everything is so mysterious and just shocking and it’s just really good.
From a relationship standpoint, I have many thoughts. So I’m a shippy person, so sue me.
I’ve always loved Jack and Kate most. But Jack, Kate and Sawyer form a legitimate love triangle, have since the very beginning. And I used to think that she would eventually get together with one or both of them (not at the same time, consecutively of course), maybe wish-wash back and forth a little bit, and whatever. I honestly didn’t know how I wanted it to end.
We only have two seasons left and they’re going to have to wrap this up some kind of way. At this point, I still love Jack and Kate but I love Sawyer too, and I know he’d be crushed if she wasn’t with him. So…I honestly don’t know what to think, what I want, and what could possibly happen.
And on a totally shallow note, how awesome was it that Sawyer was shirtless for the entire first hour? Fucking amazing. Josh Holloway’s body is so hot I honestly did not know what to do. I kept wanting him to make out with Juliet IMMEDIATELY just because she was there, good holy god that was so fucking hot.
Side note, I could see shipping Sawyer/Juliet if Sawyer/Kate didn’t work out. But god, he loves her so much…it hurts.
Somewhat relatedly, Sun/Jin. So at this point, Jin really might still be alive. I’m trying not to get my hopes up, because I did that with Charlie, kept expecting him to come back, but I think it’s pretty clear now that he’s dead. But with Jin there’s all the stuff with the island moving so…maybe? Who knows. But, damn. I did love him and Sun. I think it’s interesting the effect his death is having on Sun…at the same time, Nadia’s death is having almost the same effect on Sayid, so hmm…that’s telling.
So, yeah. I love the characters on this show. I love how this show manages to be plot-driven and character-driven at the same time. Well, not really character-driven, but there’s such excellent characterization, and I love it, especially considering the incredibly intricate plot. Which I also love, but again, not going there just this second.
So, it seems that they’ve been moving in this science- fiction direction for quite a while, and it’s pretty obvious it will be the main theme of this season. There’s always been people-to-people conflict too though, so I’m sure there will be a lot of that too. What with Ben and Charles Widmore’s war and everyone else getting caught up in the middle of that. Seems interesting. It’s crazy to me how, right now, Jack and Ben are on the same side. Jack made a serious miscalculation in trusting the freighters, but turns out Locke didn’t do too much better with his decision either. So hmm.
As for Locke being dead. I have my ideas about that. I feel like Ben gave his body to that butcher-woman to freeze; if so, I’m sure he’s got a reason for doing that. Maybe Locke is so special that when they bring his body back to the island, he not only regains use of his legs, but comes back from the dead? Stranger things have happened.
Another thing. Maybe the reason Richard Alpert, etc knew that Locke was special was b/c somehow he had travelled back in time and interacted with them? Who knows.
The woman at the end- thought it was Daniel’s mother for sure. But who knows.
70 hours to get back to the island, huh? That should be a good one.
So, I am LOVING the time-travel stuff. I have always been really into time travel anyway…I think it’s such a cool idea. And it’s amazing.
I have to admit when I saw Daniel undercover in the Dharma mine I flipped my shit just a little bit. Like I seriously freaked out. I don’t even know why. It was just so mind-boggling to me that Daniel would be back in Dharma’s time and I freaked out a LOT. Yeah. That was awesome.
It only got better and better with the other stuff on the island. I also flipped my shit when the drug plane showed up. Goddamn, that was amazing.
Amazing fucking episode. I’ve never been one to theorize too much, speculate too much about what’s going to happen in the future. I just don’t feel it necessary, and I honestly don’t feel equipped to do it. Or do it well. I just take what the show hands out to me.
Lost is amazing. It has never, not once, disappointed me, and I feel very strongly that it’s not ever going to.
