Lost!

Spoiler:

Three season ago there was a scene in which Locke and Ben were discussing a magic box.................now we have Claire and Jack pondering over the meaning of a music box.

Connection?

Before you answer, recall what Locke did at the end of that season 3 episode.........if you guessed that he was fooled into blowing a submarine up please go to the head of the class

I can't say I'm pisssed....this whole show is a tragedy. I expect tragic things to happen. That was just a whole lot of tragedy for one episode.

If I recall, when Sayid was teling Jack about the location of Desmond, he said something to the effect of "because it's going to be you". A hint that Jack is the new Jacob? I had previously been leaning toward Hurley.

Well, they've certainly been throwing around jack as new jacob pretty heavily lately, what with him being the only one committed to staying on the island for his mystical purpose. Not a done deal by any means in the Lostiverse, but that's the storytelling i'm getting.

And I don't mind tragedy. I just dislike storytelling cheap shots.

Also, it's seeming like the storyline is veering away from the elements of the season I was beginning to find interesting. For the last two episodes, I'm getting the distinct impression that all the stuff I'd like to be seeing is happening off screen.

With 3 more eps to go, I'm doubting that trend can be redeemed, though I do expect them to be action-packed and such. Last night's was pretty action-packed, but it was unsatisfying to me. And not just because of the cheap shot deaths. (The non-cheap-shot deaths didn't bother me at all, btw - I fully expect characters to die left and right starting about now.)

I like the mind-fvcks and brain-twisters and ah-ha stuff. Action is fine, but strictly second tier.



Now that I think of it, I've yet to see a series that ended on a date certain pull off a satisfying finale. I've never seen any evidence that LOST would be the first.

I believe he meant "it's going to be you doing this because I'm about to blow up."

I felt oddly unmoved by the tragic events...maybe, deep down, I just don't believe in that plane of existence?

All I know is that if they don't give me a satisfactory resolution for what's happened to Vincent I'm going to be pissed.

...Or Rose and Bernard.

I can't keep track of anyone right now....I'm still trying to remember where Richard is at present.

On his way to Dharmaville with Ben and Miles.

Yep, this is the first season I'm watching week-to-week, and I can't keep track of anyone. Thanks for the recap on Richard and Ben and Miles. I was clueless. Who else has been off the show for five minutes?


Also, does it seem to anyone else that sideways Jack is a bit of a dunderhead? I know Desmond is Desmond, but shouldn't it be beyond dawning on Jack that somethings up, what with EVERYONE he meets having been on Oceanic 815? I would hope a surgeon would be a little quicker on the uptake.
