Lost is back!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I don't know that Sun was so much "in Widmore's corner" as simply using him as a means to an end. And now that I think of it, Sun may be the easiest one to convince to go back. I bet she was tapping ol' Charles because he found the island once, he can find it again, and she wants to go back and find Jin (she doesn't seem like she was particularly willing to accept that he's dead).

This episode was better than last, though it still had its moments of ham-handedness. I'm hoping these last two episodes were the final fallout of the writers' strike which probably put them on a pretty tight schedule to get them done and that next season they can get back to good story telling and not lazy exposition.

Worst offender was the revisit of the Kate and Jack scene. That served absolutely no purpose other than to put the name "Jeremy Lanthem" in our minds. We learned nothing else through that entire exchange.

Bleh, whatever, I'll try to ignore all that. Still like the overall direction of the story. It's going to be a long summer.

We did learn that Kate didn't want to go back. Then, it was cemented by the appearance of Creepy Claire that Aaron shouldn't go back either.

Considering how pissed she was at Jack saying "we shouldn't have left", being pissed about "we have to go back" doesn't strike me as a giant revelation.

*shrug* it was a throwaway comment. I didn't find it as a giant revelation either. I was more freaked out by Creepy Claire. I'm just sad it came to this. I loved Claire and now she gives me the heebie jeebies.

Nice how they had Claire appear in a dream, eh? Leaves whether she is dead or alive rather open.

I was very happy to "see" Mr. Eko again. Heh.

It seemed to me that she's bent on revenge against Ben and using Widmore would be the best way to accomplish that. Although it a good point that he found the island once so finding it again may be best left to him.

I think her initial grief and denial in the helicopter was common initial shock and grief for that situation. It seems pretty evident that he's dead, but who knows?

This is how much this show is not like the others. That scene, the opening scene of this year's finale, was a continuation of the end of last year's finale. An entire year has passed connecting two halves of a scene!

I love Lost!

Yes, I know, I just wish that the second half was actually interesting and not pointless.

I'm not sure about that. If Locke was making the rounds to all of the Oceanic 6, it may have come out that Ben was responsible for the ship's explosion. Maybe she is hoping Widmore will lead her to Ben.
