Caught you

So I couldn’t come up with a good title this week, sorry. How is everyone doing? Well, tonight’s wasn’t as great as last week, but still good. Let me just begin by saying I love how Penny and Desmond met, so sweet. Anyway, first thing. So I thought I saw someone in the picture on the monk’s desk, so I looked it up, and guess who it was? The lady that sold him the ring in the flash-back/forward/? before. Interesting…he didn’t see the picture, I don’t think, so how did that lady show up in the flash. Both her and the monk guided Desmond on where to go next, so that may be important. Also, what language was the book? If it was Portuguese, it would make sense because I think that is what those guys were speaking in the finale last year. So I wonder what connection that holds. Anyway, any thoughts on what would have happened had Desmond let Charlie die? I don’t think it would have been Penny, but something would have been different, I’m sure. Maybe, since Charlie is his new button, the thing that he keeps “pushing” by saving Charlie, there would have been another flash and chance to be with Penny, as before when his job pushing the button ended. Ideas?

Oh, and I still hold out that Jack is good and has a plan. I think that is why he is with Juliet all the time, to watch her and figure out how to stop whatever it is is going to happen. Anyway, that is it for now. I will think and add more later!

One of who?

Ok, tonights episode was pretty amazing. First and foremost though, Lost never answers questions and yet they tell us straight out that Juliet is a plant and something will happen in a week. WHY? Now, moving on to the episode. First of all, how come there can be no pregnant women, and yet Ben, and Alex, were born on the island, and Ben said to Locke that he was born there and most of his people can’t say that. Is that what caused Rousseau to think they were all sick and kill them, her own hallucinations? So there must have been birth before, did something happen recently that stopped it? Next question, who went into the camp and infected Claire within the last couple days? Is there a Lostie that really is on the Others side? A few other things we learn tonight, Richard was off the island, so if we think that Locke’s dad is real, he may get him then before  he heads back. Also, Mikhail said he had already gotten information on some of the people on the plane, who (probably not important, but it may show some were “meant” to be on the plane, such as a control like Claire)? Why did Juliet know about Sayid and Sawyer? This may seem like a dumb question, but it seemed she had enough other things going on than to deal with reading up on their files. She always acts like she doesn’t want to be part of the Others, and yet she is taking time to learn about the Losties. If you want to trust her, it may be so she can find who would be her best chances for helping her to get off the island. If not, it may be that she turned her perspective around when she saw her sister was fine, and really does want to help the Others. Once again, Ben made a point that he doesn’t lie. Did Ben’s comment about Jacob curing Rachel mean that he is not on the island. That is what it would seem like to me. And does Locke know about the trick with leaving behind Juliet? Oh, so much…I will think on this and write more soon. Contribute any ideas or questions you may have!

DHARMA theory

 Below is an interesting comment from writer Jeff Jensen about last week’s episode:

“Kate’s story echoed Mr. Eko’s, which would have made her Monster bait, if not for two things: 1. Fortunately, as the flashback revealed, her mother had already confronted her about her self-righteous narcissism, so the lessons had already been implanted. 2. The experience of being tethered to Juliet helped to activate those lessons and make them real. For during her dark night of the soul, Kate was made to understand, in a personal way, how her allegedly altruistic actions could be compromised by selfishness and have painful, destructive consequences. It was this that allowed her to apologize to Jack at the end of the episode for sabotaging his escape and denying him a chance at happiness. This is very similar to the growth of character we saw in Jack during the season premiere, when he finally took responsibility for his failed marriage and found himself capable of hoping for happiness for the wife who betrayed him.

All of this was mirrored in a much more lighthearted manner in the secondary story line, in which Hurley pulled a scam on Sawyer — tricking him into thinking that the beach community was on the verge of sending him to Exile Island (or at least just a ways down the shore).

Of course, what I also loved about the Sawyer story line was this: It was a joke that disguised a giant clue! An elaborate scheme designed to promote human decency — that’s the Dharma Initiative! That’s the whole ”Dharma was trying to harness the power of the Island to bring enlightenment to the masses!” theory!”

This goes along well with the good versus bad, and how everyone comes to an epiphany about themself and it changes them. Even, as much as I hate him, Locke came to realize, through Mikhail’s comments, that he is too angry. I think what he said was interesting about why Kate didn’t get killed by the monster, she came to accept responsibility for her actions. However, I think that Eko did also, so I don’t know how much I agree, I am still thinking about it… Anyway, I wanted to see what you thought of the reasons that DHARMA was there, if it is to improve society or not. If so, why is Ben so manipulative, I don’t see that as an improvement! It does fit in with what they keep saying about not being killers and being good people…Ideas anyone?

Good news

So I was looking and the finale will be Ben centric (despite recent postings it would be Jack). The episode after my birthday (gifts are welcome) will be DHARMA Centric – I am super excited. For some of you, you know who I am talking to, we should finally get answers.

Monsters

So when do the monsters show up? There is the “cash register sounding” monster (name thanks to Bryan) and the roaring monster. Last week with Nikki and Palo was the cash register, the majority of the episode where Eko died was the cash register, until the end. The series pilot was both. Tonight was both sounds. I think they have different purposes. Ideas? Let’s discuss…

Just a few reasons I hate Locke to tide you over

I hate Locke for the following:

He lies, all the time! He knows more about what is going on then he lets on. He lets himself be used all the time, he has no backbone and never learns. He is so stupid. He is WRONG, all the time! He JOINED THE OTHERS!

There are so many …  watch for more coming soon

Last week on Lost…

So here is an e-mail I sent last week about some of the things I was thinking about, I thought it would be good as the first Lost blog.

First: the island simply gives people the thing they want, whether it be through something appearing or death. It doesn’t let them die until the thing they most desire is fulfilled. Boone died and got released from taking care of Shannon. Shannon was loved by someone. Eko gets to be with Yemi. Anna Lucia forgave herself and found redemption. Nikki gets the diamonds and Palo gets to be with her forever. The others all see the things they want or are thinking about, like Locke and his dad, Kate and the horse, Eko and Yemi, Shannon and Walt, Jack and his dad, ect.

Second: I think the walkie talkie was left on purpose. Ben is a genius, and Palo probably left the door into the hatch open, I am sure Ben noticed and left it. I think that is the big story turner, they now have access into the lives of the “others” and what they are talking about. And Sawyer has guns.

Third: A lot of people on the front of the plane killed people, either directly or indirectly, such as Nikki and Palo killed that guy (and Sawyer, Kate, Claire(kind of), Jack(let Shannon and Boone’s dad die), and Hurley(with bad luck). That is why they are maybe not “good.”

Oh and lastly, that sucks that Nikki and Palo just layed there and heard everything that was being said around them and could do nothing! Do you think that is why Vincent pulled the blankets off, because they were still alive, a clue none of them got?

Oh, and why do you think Juliet hates the Pearl station? (it creeps her out)

Anyway, that is it, check back in a couple days for my next blog! 

Your Lost pal, Amber
