(THESE ARE NOT SPOILERS!!!! These are just RECAPS, thoughts and predictions of what we have seen in LOST. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING AWAY SINCE WE DO NOT WATCH PREVIEWS, ABC SUCKS IN GIVING A LOT AWAY!)
WHAT I GOT FROM : “Through The Looking Glass”
QUICK START
WOW! What an amazing two hours last night. I think people got what they hell they had begged for week after week of bitching to ABC. DAMONCUSE did a brilliant job making the season finale, and coming up with one hell of an ending (still would like to see the other three ideas), but gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Minus Tom dying. Friggin DEPRESSING! Why wasn’t Kate HIS type?! Who/what was he? AANND IIIIII, eeeeIIIIII, WILLLL ALWAAAAYS LOOOOOVE YOOOOOUUUUU! Yeah fake bearded bastard! Give us a hug!
This season finale was GO GO GO non-stop and was written and played out A+ all over. I need to thank everyone on the LOST team for making it great. Amazing work, and see you in Feb. ’08! Ya dummys! You can’t win with these people, I tell ya.
FLASH FORWARD JACK STYLE
FlashForwards, FlashForwards!!! Why act so surprised as if we have never seen it before? Weren’t we all watching the same show this season? I mean I thought it was brilliant that Season 3’s finale would end with a FlashForward seeing as it STARTED with one. Also, you bastard-geeks with high heads at ABC.com message boards want to argue with Karen!?!? You call the thunder and now you see what happens! Ha! Wow, Karen called this months ago and I am amazed. When talking to Karen last week, we re-watched “A Tale Of Two Cities” and she had me look between the lines. And yes! When first watching the episode in Oct., I got the weirdest feeling with Jack in the opening FlashBack scene where Jack’s watching Sarah. I’m not saying the whole “Tale Of Two Cities” flashbacks are FlashForwards, seeing as we see Christian Shepard. But we did see something with Jack last night and he was a little “not right” in the head in this episode.
Bear with me.
In “Tale Of Two Cities” I will breakdown the Flashbacks/forwards.
Scene One – Jack is watching Sarah in his Ford Jimmy type roadster, the same one he had last night! BAM! Sealed that one. Plus she has two kids. This may be waaaaay in future of what we saw last night. Might be the last shot we ever see of the show, but he gets right in the head, and says goodbye to Sarah for the final time. Locke needs to take notes form Jack, let people go John, see where it gets you.
Scene Two - Jack is talking to Sarah about the divorce, I’m guessing, since it’s about a lawyer being present, whom he fires. Sarah’s man, the father of her baby in the belly, in which we saw a pregnant Sarah last night. He calls her and asks if Jack was there yet. She laughs and I don’t think it’s at Jack’s behalf, but the fact it’s taken soooo looong for this divorce to be final. Since he crashed on the island, it’s not his fault, everyone thought he died on Oceanic 815, she had to wait a few months for him to get back.
Scene Three - Jack is arguing with his father. Well, last night he was arguing about his father and the fact Jack thought he was still alive. What if he is actually seeing his dad (loopy bastard), and talking to him. (not healthy, side effects from his pills?) We know, he sees him walking around the island. Christian tells him to stop trying to find Sarah. But she calls Christian, Jack loses his mind more and Christian even tells him to “let it go.”
Scene Four - Gets complicated, BUT! Jack sees his dad on the phone in the hospital hallway laughing and we hear “Dr. Shepard” form a nurse. We can only think Jack is staring off, delirious, BUT also, reminiscing of when his father was alive. THEN we hear the FlashBack music kick in (flashback intro music in a flashback…fishy) and in the same scene we see Christian getting out of his car at the Lynford Hotel, bringing us to our FIRST FLASHBACK of the season. Jack’s mind in the scene prior is playing out the flashback of what his father did BEFORE he got on the island. Something is not letting him go with his father. On the island, and now off of it.
Let’s get into last night’s episode now.
Jack’s on the plane in the opening scene, it was a LITTLE to easy that they gave it away in the beginning that it was a Flash Forward. The beard, “20 minutes is a long time”, the turbulence. Anyone else notice Damon Lindeloff’s voice as our trusty pilot on the plane. What threw me off was when Sarah walks in after the accident and she looks as if she had seen a ghost. But thinking about it, that’s not the first time she had seen him. It was even before the “Tale Of Two Cities” flash-forward where he meets up with her about the divorce. I think she just knows more than we do about Jack, and she’s DONE! Obviously. More to come.
Christian Shepard, from the scenes still makes me feel he’s dead. Jack is fixing, like Charlie, he will lie and forge his dad’s signature and it will make him see things. Jack is losing his mind, and FAST! As the story gets deeper last night, he argues about his father, as if that still has clout, and Dr. Hamill knows that Dr. Christian Shepard is deceased. Dr. Hamill gives Jack this, “come on man, your dad is dead dude, don’t bring that shit into this.” Jack isn’t healthy and more to come on that in these sections below.
I READ THE NEWS TODAY…OH BOY
Let’s talk about the newspaper clipping and the obituary. Well, this one is a doozy and I’m sure we all have our theories and thoughts. But, in my mind it isn’t anyone we have met yet. The man in the casket will be introduced in season 4. We need to understand that so many things were answered last night, but also, some new people will be reveled soon. The show did an amazing job (if this is the case) that we have not yet met who is in the coffin and will have a face to the newspaper clipping. Hell, it might be the man on the phone in the last scene on the island.
The newspaper clipping reads as follows: "Los Angeles, Man found.. [unreadable] downtown.. [unreadable], The body of Jo.. [unreadable] ..antham of New York was.. [unreadable] ..[shor]tly after 4 a.m. in the.. [unreadable] of Grand Avenue. Ted.. [unreadable] ..man at The Tower.. [unreadable] .. heard loud noises.. [unreadable]..m's loft. Co.. [unreadable] ..entered the.. [unreadable] ..a beam in the.. [unreadable] ..[ac]cordin[g].. [unreadable].."
John, is the first name? So what if, and what if, John Locke is not his birth name? We’ve seen papers in screenshots indicating his full name is John Locke. But what happens when people come off the island, changing names maybe? I still feel we have yet to meet this dead so or so.
WAKE UP A LITTLE DESSIE, WAKE UP
Desmond’s hit on the head in the last weeks episode “Greatest Hits.” Where does he go, because he wakes up and is so lost at where is when he wakes up. Where did Dessie go? Because when Desmond wakes up, Charlie is down in the hatch, still alive. So, where did Desmond go? I’ll keep asking. Why was nothing mentioned in this episode? Did he need to talk to Penny when she came up on the screen about finding her? Will the season opener be Desmond and where he went when he was knocked out my Charlie? Let’s NOT FORGET that he was knocked in the head!!!!!!!!!
JACK AND KATE
When was the last time I type that title out? Wow! It’s been awhile! What did we see last night? Flash-forward AND on the Island. There is still a huge connection, and well, Jack says “Because I love you” to Kate. Now he might mean it as my main squeeze or you’re my pal, I love you, like Charlie tells Hurley. But, I love you was said. We know there will be a huge connection between the two in the next few months, so I guess we’re heading into a ABC wanting more love connections on the show. But, I have a feeling the real love connection will be between Kate and someone new coming in Season 4. Keep reading for more…
THE BEN LINUS MAID SERVICE COMP.
“I need you to help me, I need you to help clean up this mess that I have made. Cleaning up messes. Remind me that when Ben gets off the island to hire him as my maid service. I love the role switching we have going on here. Ben is now scared, no idea what’s going on. His mind is still racing on the whole Locke “hearing” Jacob, the radio tower, Alex betraying him, Juliet lying and going behind his back. A little too much on Ben’s plate. Sucks to be you Ben. But think why Ben is saying this…(next weeks BLOG POST! DUH DUH DUH!)
ANAGRAM TIME!!!!!
Not since “One Of Us” was there such an obvious “We have an anagram” for you. This one is a DOOZY! We have a big one. Now, we all go ANAGRAM TIME when we saw Hoffs/Drawlar last night. And trust me Karen pointed it out as well, and did it. Hoffs/Drawlar you get “Flash Forward”, BUT! Put Hoffs/Drawlar Funeral Parlor and you get “Real Plan For Flash Forward” DUH DUH DUH!
WELCOME BACK DHARMA
Ben is scared out of his mind thinking Jack is making that call The communicartion barrier is broken and Dharma will want answers. Dharma is trying to stay communication free, so why the cut in the jamming? Dharma is on the phone to someone RIGHT NOW as I type this, but no one is answering. So who is coming out to see if things are okay? But, things aren’t okay, people are gone, PURGED!
Does he think that Dharma is just going to sit there and let a man kill everyone on the island and not try to come back? That Purge is coming back to rear it’s ugly head to Ben, and we may not have a Ben Linus with us much longer. Season 4 is going to be so AMAZING, it’s sick! Jack got on the cell, satellite phone and made a call to the Dharma Inactivate, if you will.
Now Naomi’s phone…that will let 2 people off the island. And Desmond got it wrong. Bye Jack and Kate.
THE FIRST KISS
Jack and Juliet kiss? Well, it was all her doing since in “A Tale Of Two Cities” she asks Jack what he wants to know about Sarah since being on the island, and all he asks is “Is she happy?” Well isn’t that sweet? She sees a love in him as he’s tearing up. He doesn’t care what she’s doing at this point, as long as she is happy. That turns any woman on, right? Weird.
This leads to Juliet seeing the honest and very lovable side of Jack. So the kiss wasn’t too far off. But in front of Kate and Juliet knowing Kate was watching. Why? Now that’s where it gets sneaky, and we can start with the asking “why”? It’s all part of Juliet. I know we feel it wasn’t placed well, and maybe should have been put in a few episodes prior, maybe when everyone starts doubting Jack, but I think Juliet knew she was going to die with Sawyer and sealed her confession with a kiss.
This kiss will come back to us in the future since Kate has a lot of baby to be had. Is it Sawyer’s baby? Is it someone from Season 4? This should connect with the The Last Scene about Kate to Jack.
WALT and who’s that SCREAMING
EeeeeeeeeeYEAHBOYYYYY! Amazing! But first things first!!! REWATCH ALERT! Re-watch this scene where John Locke has the gun to his head and we hear a WOMEN? MAN? KID? SOMEONE? screaming then you hear Walt say “Don’t John.” What is it? Why? John and I ask the same thing! WHY? And why is Walt telling Locke he’s got work to do? Is it because Walt is the one who needs saving in Boone/Locke hallucination? He needs to be saved and that’s ANOTHER reason that Locke can’t leave the island?
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Sorry, to my loyal blog readers, COME ON!!!, you know I had to! Wizard Of Oz references will take over this blog at some point. BUT! Let’s point out that there’s no going home. Right? Getting off the island? Wrong!!!
Yes, you can go home, but no one is allowed to. Who really wants to? Ben has no home to go to. Jack, as Ben tells him is “what is it you so desperately want to get back to? You have no one, you’re fathers dead, you’re wife left you for another man“, Locke doesn’t want to go home. So what gives with “home: and the “island”? You can go back home, but what Ben I think sticks true, why do you want to? This is your home!
So let’s go back to these Flash Forwards then. Jack needs to get back to the island right? Why? Is it his home now? Did he not correct things?
THE NEW BEACH
Sawyer and Juliet huh? Nice! LOVE IT! Hurley kills someone with intent, not good, very sad about that. BUT, Jin, Sayid and Bernard still alive and we have more than enough men to help the Lostaways if anything happens. Plus 10+ more hostiles going to a temple? More to come!
Sayid on your team, not too shabby if you ask me. Sawyer and Jin, bring it on! Hurley becoming a leader and Juliet has met her match. This is just BRILLIANT! Season 4…wowowow!
PENNY’S DIRECT LINE
Did anyone else ask WHY does Penny have a direct line to the Looking Glass, and she asks “How did you get this frequency?” I am dying here, so who is watching Penny so carefully? Also, when Desmond is running into the hatch door, it seems like he planned this. Seriously. He looks over to notice that Mikhail is gone, that’s his cue to Penny being on the monitor. All he has to do is yell to Charlie,”Hey Charlie! Mikhail is missing!!!” and Charlie would have his dukes up ready. But,no, he runs up knowing Penny is on the monitor.
Did he plan it when Charlie hit him on the head? Did Charlie accidentally play out the fate differently? Did Desmond switch it up when he was hit in the head on the boat, and then he got hit there, and all. There other scenarios to work this one out.
What about Penny really being part of something more? She is at the monastery meeting Desmond for the first time, and her father works with the Brother Campbell in buying wine. There are too many connections with Penny Widmore to just think she got a direct line to the Looking Glass accidentally. Her father’s medicine is all over the island, and probably fronts Dharma. Plus she’s THE ONE WHO IS SENDING THE INCOMING TRANSMISSION. ARE YOU KIDDING?! CHARLIE?!?!? WHAT’S UP!?!?! MAN, this kills me sometimes!
So she got the frequency at this point. Why doesn’t Charlie ask “How did YOU get this frequency sista?” Also, look behind her for shits sake, IT’S A SET!!! That background looks worse than a James Bond film from the 1960’s. She’s a front!
CHARLIE PACE, YOU WILL BE MISSED
Charlie Pace is dead. The music proves it. BUT, Desmond getting hit in the head, and Desmond not being able to talk to Penny, proves it wrong. I know so many of you said last night, why would he slam the door, it would take hours for the hatch to fill up with water from the small hole Mikhail let in. Charlie is playing out his destiny. He doesn’t know better. But Desmond knows more is to come. Desmond smiles and agrees with Charlie’s message, so maybe this hitting his head prior to going to the hatch means more in season 4. Hopefully this will be our Season 4 opening episode. A Desmond FlashBack, Flash Present with Penny, Charlie and all.
Sorry I’m not crying about Charlie in this section, but I feel Charlie saved his life by hitting Desmond in the head in the last episode.
BE AFRAID, BE NOT SO AFRAID
Uh, Locke? Did you kill someone? No, right? Damn! YES! You did! This was a season finale enough for me, Jesus it was scary. What is up with Locke and killing someone? Did the tables turn with him switching with someone. Or does it just take getting shot in the stomach and lying in a pile of dead skeletons do something to you?
But, what is it that Ben said though two weeks ago? “Once I open this door, there’s no turning back.” Well, Locke knows more than we know with Naomi and the phone. Locke DOESN’T have to leave if he doesn’t want to, but he needs Jack to help him. Between Jack and Locke, “he” doesn’t have much time, but someone needs, and will be saved.
THE LAST SCENE
Sorry a lot of the quotes will be in here since this is such a HUUUGE deal. They both say a lot of things. Jack mentions Old Habits. Kate mentions “why would I go to the funeral?” Who screwed her over? Who was it? Someone she loved? Someone Jack helped and then screwed her over? Kate said “he’s going to wonder where I am?” Well we now know Kate has a baby BOY! No one is waiting up for her.
But the main thing is the POLAR opposites these two pull. Notice that Jack is the one who keeps moving with his golden ticket Oceanic pass. Wasn’t it Jack that said it to her that KATE! couldn’t stop moving from place to place in Season One? And we saw in every flashback she had, all the moving she did, not just from the Feds, but in her mind. Cheesy I know, but true!
This was one of the saddest tings I have ever seen in filmed TV history. Some of the most amazing things were said, and sweetest. Or was it sweet? Kate thinks of it as Jack falling for her still, and still pinning over her love. But really deep down inside Jack knows he messed up so much on the island and needs to rescue, help, save his friends? Or kill Ben? Destroy the Island? Something more than just Kate’s love. This is massive, and read between the lines.
THINGS PEOPLE SAID
Ben (to Mikhail, obviously) - ”Mikhail, I need you to go NOOW!” - The scared Ben, loving it. Admitting he’s lying, even better. Ben is going down this spiral staircase SOOOO fast, it sucks it was a season finale. Re-listen to him talking. Sad.
Rose (to Jack) - If you say Live Together, Die Alone, I’m going to punch you in the face - Amazing. But not in this episode. We almost feel so completely sorry for Jack in so many ways. I almost agree with Jack at this point with Live Together, Die Alone…look at them. But, the team splits up which makes complete sense.
Ben (to Richard) - ”You’re going to take everyone to the temple as planned” - THE TEMPLE? What temple? And this whole “as planned”? Uh, Ben your plans haven’t been working to well, you think you really want to do this? But, this actually seems like the only plan that will work. Now we have two sides and a castaway sandwich. Temple with 10 or so hostiles, and the beach with 5 lostaways, Desmond and a Juliet.
Kate (to Sawyer) - ”And since when did you start calling me Kate? - Air Supply said it best. “I’m all out of love, and I’m so lost without you.” He doesn’t know what to do with you.
Dr. Rob Hammil (to Jack) - Jack Shepard, the hero, twice over - Damn you BKV and DamonCuse!!!! DAMN YOU! So was Jack coming back from Oceanic 815 being a hero, and then saving the woman on the bridge. Or saving Sarah and the woman on the bridge? Do people not know about Jack going on the island? Hmmm…twice over!! Grrr!
Mikhail (to Bonnie and Greta) - I thought you two were on assignment in Canada!! - Hostiles are everywhere!!! What’s in Canada? Cheaper pharmaceutical drugs, we know that, but why were the girls posed to be in Canada? Makes NO sense, but will make so much sense in Season 5 I’m sure. Ha! Let’s not forget Canada! Not in Portland, let’s just remember that!!!
Ben (to Jack) – “History is about to repeat itself” - Yup! But this time, it’s Dharma going to kick Ben right in the ass! It’s not the Naomi phone that will be bring danger, but it’s the fact that now that the communication is unjammed, then Dharma now knows something is wrong. They will come to the island after they realize no one is answering the Looking Glass, send people out and realize that no one is left alive from Dharma and send a party out to kill Ben. Dharma is MUCH bigger than we know. We have two parties coming to this island now. Amazing! More in the next blog.
Jack (to Kate) - ”We’ll celebrate when were home” Will ya now? It doesn’t seem like you are. This doesn’t seem like a party to me Jack. I can’t wait to see how this pans out in the next season!
NO UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THIS WEEK, I have to give you something to look forward to for next week! Wait, what’s next week?!??!!
NEXT WEEK’S BLOG!!!
