I Met Kevin Johnson

Before I begin, let us take a moment of silence to mourn the 5-week long absense of our beloved Lost.


Okay. Done. When I said beloved, I think I really meant, "I've invested 3 and a half seasons to this show; therefore, I cannot turn my back on it."

Not that "Meet Kevin Johnson" was bad. Let's take a look at the positive of last night's episode, shall we?

• Locke's "Family Meeting," starring Ben. LOVED Hurley's reaction to the "revelation that the Freighters were ther efor Ben. I was also pleased that Ben revealed pretty quickly to the group that Michael was his Man on the Boat. (Thankfully so, since the rest of us have known for a LONG time.) The reaction throughout the room was appropriate, and I loved it as well.
• Funny, I wrote in my notes, "What's with the suicide note clipped to his jacket?" I struck the word suicide, because I didn't really know, but apparently, I knew.
• The moment I heard Michael's nurse's voice, I knew it was Ms. Libby. We need more Libby! Too bad Michelle Rodriguez is probably never coming back. Not that I like Ana Lucia, but I think it would be even more haunting to Michael if she appeared as well. Creepy.
• I knew pretty quickly that this was a flashback of what happened after Michael left the island. I mean, they kinda tried pretty hard to trick us, but duh. (Meanwhile, my husband couldn't figure it out, and we did argue about it for a couple of minutes. Haha.)
• I'm glad that Walt has his grandmother to look after him.
• I also knew that someone would appear to Michael in that alley right before he was going to shoot himself. Only, I thought it would be Ben...
• I LOVE off-island Friendly! He's so clean cut and assertive. I shouldn't have been so surprised, though. We knew that Alpert and Ethan have been off the island.
• Mmmmm-hmmm... Michael changes his mind when he sees the footage of that 315 "discovery."
• Arturo! Love it! And Michael's face. Hahahaha!
• The proof that the 315 wreckage was staged - thank you! Although, the skeptic in me still thinks that Ben could be twisting this around. We still have no reason to trust him.
• I think we've pretty much confirmed that Frank is totally clueless.
• Duh, that's Ben on the phone, not Walt.
• Finally, we get some island stuff again.

All right, that was about the good of it. As for the rest of what happened....

• It took a bit long to get the flashback, didn't it?
• I guess Michael was too distracted being Kevin Johnson that he forgot to clean up the brain stain, eh?
• It looks like KJ cleans up all the "biohazard" on the boat, and there happens to be a lot of it.
• Uh, so Michael's going to ease his suffering by pawning Jin's watch for a gun?! I'd like to think that the watch just brings back too many painful memories for Mike.
• Michael, Michael, Michael. Who the heck would tell his 10-year-old son that he killed two people in order to get him back? Yeah, I don't know what I would do if I had to keep two months of my life secret, and I had just killed two people - on my own, not at the direction of Ben. So, ok.
• It's taking us long to get out of this flashback too.
• Ah, Michael can pick up Naomi's accent because of his familiarity with good ol' Charlie.
• Sayid, Sayid, Sayid. Way to eff it up for everyone, bro. Is that why you end up working for Ben? Now you need to redeem yourself too? Then again, it could be all part of the grand plan, as Michael didn't seem to have an incredibly strong reaction...
• Karl died. We kinda knew that would happen. Ooops! Then Rousseau died! That, I wasn't so sure of. Poor Alex... that moment when Rousseau told her she loved her... awwww.... Then mommy dies! Could it really be the freighters? Is it Frank and whoever it was that left with him on the 'copter? Is it Daniel and Charlotte? Or is it the Others, instructed to kill Karl and Rousseau by Daddy Dearest?

I guess we'll have to wait until April 24! I'm surprised they had a preview for episode 9. I thought they were still working on it. Looks like the monster makes its way to New Otherton and wreaks havoc.

I'm very sad, as I will be in Helsinki the week that Lost returns. Hopefully I can find a way to watch it on ABC.com, but I don't think I can do it until the weekend. I never wait to watch Lost! It will be tragic, I tell ya.

I'll still be posting here and there, when I find juicy tidbits. So, see ya around!
