Lost!

[innerSpaceman]

I think what bugs me most is that the season was finally beginning to pick up steam for me ... when there was a week's hiatus, followed by an action-packed episode full of main-character deaths that left me completely cold, then followed by an episode that has turned me off the season completely.


At this point, I have no enthusiasm to do costume and make-up for that Lost Supper I was invited to. I think I'm going to watch the finale at home alone. The show was just starting to gain some goodwill from me, and then went and completely lost it. (no pun)



I'll watch the last two episodes. But I'm basically done. It's Twin Peaks II, just like I've said since the beginning.

While that was a rare satisfactory answer it does beg another question....why won't Jacob just let him leave? Is MiB performing some vital function on the Island or is Jacob afraid of what MiB will do off the Island?

And it's not as simple as not wanting the smoke monster to leave the Island......MiB's mother did not want him to leave before he ever turned into smokie. She, in fact, killed a whole bunch of people to insure against it even.

Maybe she just wanted someone to watch the ol Savings and Loan so Potter wouldn't take over the town

Come to think of it, didn't George Bailey say his favorite 3 sounds were anchor chains, plane motors, and train whistles? Smokey makes those sounds

There are 2 different motivations at work. I think MIB's mother didn't want him to leave because A. she wasn't sure, until MIB killed her, which of the 2 brothers would be the new guardian of the island and B. she wanted her "sons" to remain "uncorrupted" by outside influences.

Jacob, on the other hand won't allow MIB to leave because he now holds too much of the light and, if the light is allowed to leave, "it will go out in all of us."

Makes sense.

Maybe it will end like Twin Peaks:



FLOCKE: "If you know what's good for you, don't move. The fool broke the rules; it's really no good if you don't volunteer. Doesn't count if you're coerced. He'll have to be punished....of course, that doesn't mean we have to let you go."


FLocke grins and is about to use the syringe on Jack when a hand reaches in to stop him.....it's Juliet! Suddenly we hear the sound of two tremendous energies colliding and a white light fills the room. Jack looks to kate and see's her calling out to him silently.

---------------------------

Fighting off fatigue, Sawyer moves around stretching. Looking back to a grove of trees near the Black Rock he sees someone lying on the ground. He run's to them, it's Jack and Kate lying unconscious.

SAWYER: "Jack, Jack,! What happened?"

(talking into a police radio) "Miles, get that ambulance up here right now!"

Kate is covered in blood.

"Jack, Jack, are you ok doc"
(sound of sirens in the distance....they sound sort of familiar)

Jack slowly opens his eyes.

--------------------------------------------------

Wearing pajamas Jack is lying in bed. Sawyer and Christian attend to him.

CHRISTIAN: "Here he is"
SAWYER: "Jack"
JACK: "where am I"

SAWYER: "Your home. Kate is going to be ok, she's at the hospital."

CHRISTIAN: "You've had quite a shock, but everything checks out, you'll be fine"

SAWYER: "Doc, I can't tell you how worried we were, I saw you disappear...."

JACK: Sit's up on the edge of the bed, looks at Sawyer for a long moment; "I need to brush my teeth"

SAWYER: "Ok doc, let me help you up"

-----------------------------------------

Jack walks slowly to the bathroom and closes the door. He squeezed some toothpaste on a brush and some more into the sink....he stares a long time at his reflection in the mirror.

Then, suddenly, he slams his head into the mirror......

the broken mirror reveals the reflection of MiB!

THE END
