Dharma fix
Almost finished season 5 of Lost.
It's mind-blowing to see the show creators "showing up to play", so to speak--and at the top of their game once again. Just about every segment has some "holy %&#*!" moment (sometimes more than one). It's very difficult to shut down the computer after watching just two episodes. I find myself bargaining with my common sense, "come on, one more--I can go on five hours of sleep, right?" (The answer to that is "Barely", I found out)
*** Spoilers ahead ***
Before this season, certain things seemed pretty clear-cut. I had Widmore pegged as a bad guy, Alpert as basically a good guy, and Locke as sane, just misunderstood. But now... not so much anymore. Roles appear to be switching back and forth, sometimes within the same episode (especially Ben--but then again, it was always that way with Ben, wasn't it?)
[Speaking of which, I'll pause here to reiterate that Michael Emerson could read me the phone book.
Ok, moving on...]
I find Locke even more fun now than before. Death definitely becomes him.
But I’m wondering what his rationale is for wanting to do away with Jacob. I hope that’s explained somewhere in the season finale…
I really like how they're finding ways to tie in the newer characters with the storyline. It's a lot easier for me to believe that Charlotte lived on the island, and that Miles is Dr. Chang's son... than to believe that Nikki and Paulo were on Oceanic 815; we just didn't notice them before (yeah, right). Not to mention that whole "tailies" nonsense. Anyway...
Please bring Dan Faraday back! I'd say kill Eloise Hawking instead, but that would probably negate about half the show... unless you put Dan in charge of The Lamp Post? Yeah, that might work. Even if "whatever happened, happened", it doesn't necessarily have to happen the same way. Even if taking little Ben to the Others could negate the purge of the Dharma Initiative, there's still that hydrogen bomb that's supposed to go off...
Or something...
(I've got to stop reading Lostpedia... lol)
Season 3 flashback: the code in the Looking Glass was programmed by a musician. Could be Faraday. Although I have nothing to support that, other than the fact that he used to play the piano...
One question I hope to see answered, but doubt I will:
Seriously, Chang--what's the deal with all the pseudonyms?
Two more eps to go...
