Pseudo-Live Blog: "The Incident" SEASON FINALE!!!

Holy crap, I can't believe we won't see LOST again for another eight months (at least)! It's been a good night so far - Angels beat the Red Sox, Kris Allen beat out Danny Gokey... let's keep up that winning streak and have this be a fucking AMAZING episode of LOST!!!

• Previously On: Awww... Daniel..., he's telling them how to NOT have the plane crash into the island.
• And now, there is a spinning wheel? What. the Fuck. Should be expected though, right?
• Wait, what did that say? Must rewind and pause. Oh, it's totally illegible. Some weird kinda language.
• Must say, never seen a spinning wheel in action before
• Who in the world is this?!?! Jacob, perhaps?!?!!? The FIRST islander? It looks kinda old-timey, with the sailboat and everything...
• Who's the friend?
• Oh, ship... not sailboat. Ship, with sails.
• Maybe this is the FUTURE...?
  
• "Do you have any idea how badly I want to kill you?" - Man #2. Geeze.
• Loophole? So he CAN'T kill him!
• So it IS Jacob!!!! I KNEW it!
• WEIRD STATUE!!!!!!!!!

This is looking pretty good so far...!!!!!

• Cornfields. Iowa. Must be Kate-related.
• Must be her friend, that she loved, then killed. Well, sorta killed. GOT killed, actually.
• Five-finger discount, eh? She started her life of crime early. And I love that it's an NKOTB lunchbox.
• WTF?!?! JACOB PAID FOR THE NKOTB LUNCHBOX?!?!?!
• No, she's not going to steal, she's just going to kill her stepdad and become a fugitive.
• Ugh. Kate bugs. Sawyeret for the win!!!
• "We were happy in Dharmaville before you all showed up." You tell that bitch, Sawyer!
• 20 TON BOMB
• So... Daniel left instructions on how to extract the core... eh???
• Whoa. So she's prego with Dan-o. Dude, Daniel Faraday was NOT less than 30 years old when he got to the island. COME. ON.
• So, someone is a little ambitious, eh?
• And now, the trek to find JACOB.
• Ben's healing quite well.
• Yeah, just like Richard, I'd like to know how John's alive, too!
• Touche! Richard's never seen someone 'come back to life,' and John's never seen someone who doesn't age. Way to speak to the fan base.
• So, John wants to THANK Jacob. With all the other people in tow. Then he wants to deal with the peeps in '77. Hm.
• Ugh, these guys. the 'newbies' who didn' tprove to be much of anything htis season. Whoe the fuck are they? Jacob lovers? They think maybe that whatshisface is a 'candidate.' (I can NOT remember his name for life of me. I'll just call him El Capitan.)
• What IS in the box? The bomb from '77????

I bet that's what it is, which means that Jack was unsuccessful...

• And who's funeral would that be? Sawyer's dad's? Maybe? I bet.
• Oh no, duh, stupid. Saywer's dad killed his mom. Duh.
• John's??? Oh, never mind. It IS Sawyer!!! I should stick with my instincts!!!
• This relative has pretty good advice, but man, nobody listens to the grown ups, do they? He sure DOES finish that damn letter. And he sure DOES hold on to it.
• I wonder why they even need sedatives at all? Is it really that bad of a ride?
• Yeah, Sawyer doesn't have anything to get back to if that flight lands in LA.
• Juliet! What the HELL!
• These guys are BAD. ASS. (But the CGI isn't.)
• And yet, I feel like this will all go horribly awry...
• So Richard has visited John three times?!
• And Jack says not to give up on him? He's a changed man!
• Yeah... why hasn't Ben told Richard about John's plans to kill Jacob?
• Ha! Yeah, right. Ben's going to do what John says no matter what. Ha.
• Oh, I LIKE that. Ben doing John's dirty work!!!

• Are you telling me that Jacob doesn't come to Sayid until he's a GROWN up? And that Nadia is killed in a hit and run? But I thought that she died because... oh wait, Ben told Sayid that other people were responsible for her death. Fucking Jacob. His fault that Nadia died. He's EEEEVILLLLL.
• Eloise is a hard-ass.
  
• Oh! And Richard just pistol-whipped a prego! What?! Sheeze.
• What the HELL. Sayid got SHOT?! With a nuke on his back?
• Shoot-out in Dharmaville!
• And Hurley and Jin are to the rescue!!!

GEEEZE!!!

• Is that Juliet regretting the decision, or regretting that freakin' Kate is with them? I bet it's the latter.
• And what the FUCK is Vincent doing there?
• And what the FUCK are they doing with Bernard and Rose?!?!?!
• And why the FUCK is Bernard so fat?!
• "Because we're retired." - Rose. Probably going to be the best line of the episode. Guaranteed.
• Rose is a smart one. She says it like it IS.
• Dude, it disturbs ME that when Bernard said they just cared about being together, Sawyer looked at Kate. Imagine how poor Juliet must feel!
• FIVE MILES?!
• I love that they bring Rose and Bernard back every now and then. They know how to please us fans.
• OH! If what's in the box is NOT nukes, is it John's body?
• I like El Capitan's assessment of "We're the good guys."
• WHOA. So these guys know how to get to Jacob's love shack, eh? What. the fuck.
• Who dis be?
• Nadia? Does she have reconstructive surgery to become Ilana? Or is she just Ilana?
• She's just freakin' Ilana. And she apparently already knows who Jacob is. GAH.
• Aha. So they gotta find that huge ol' statue.

• Mmmhmm... Jacob was htere when John fell. I mean, got thrown out of a FUCKING WINDOW.
• And yet, John want so kill his ass. Kill it. Not kiss it.
• Wait. So Ben admits that he was PRETENDING to talk to Jacob. Is this all true?
• "So yes, I lied. That's what I do." I love Ben. I LURRRV Michael Emerson.
• Wow. John has a VERY good point. Why WOULDN'T Ben want to kill him.
• Oh my goodness! Aaron's cradle!
• Charlie's RING!!!! I miss CHarlie!
• Aw... SunJin! JinSun! Almost brings me to tears. ALMOST.
  
• Lemme guess... Jacob is there.
• I koinda hate that Jin was totally cuckholded by that bitch.
• And yup, Jacob was there. Wedding crasher.
• Oh GAHD. Three people can stop one van!?

• The four-toed foot!
• WHAT? Jacob lives in the foot? Is that like the old lady who lived in the shoe?
• Another Jack-Sawyer face-off... Hm. That five minutes could be Sayid's LIFE.
• Oh, this is that story he told Kate.
• And do NOT tell me Jacob is there.
  
• Ah, he's there after. Like he's her father or some shit. Or, he's just THERE.
• I love how Jack tried to impress Kate with a story that was so less than heroic. He didn't make himself count to five. Typical guy - to lie to impress a girl.
• And yeah, Jacob was there afterward.
• Sharing is caring, ain't it, Sawyer.
• "I don't speak Destiny." - Sawyer. Ok, maybe THAT is the best line of the episode...
• That's right - what does Jack want from all this?
• Kate. He had Kate and lost her. He doesn't want to have to deal with that. He wants to erase it.
• And then they fight? What the hell.
• WHOA! A kick in the balls! DAMN Sawyer!
• Juliet is one fickle bitch. Sheesh, woman!

• So even Juliet gets a visit from Jacob?
• Hell yeah, he has a right to know why she changed her mind.
• "If I never meet you, then I never have to lose you." Oh god, that breaks my heart.
• Radzinski - that's the crazy one with the glasses. He's the one that blows his brain out. Ha! He's a stupid fucker. He's the one who causes the 'incident.'
• Yeah, bitch. Wipe the blood from his wound. Hurt him even more.
• I heart Matthew Fox.
• Oh shit. It's happening. The Incident.

• When he goes to jail? For the Sayid incident?
• Damn Jacob. He's seriously evil. I think.
• Fuh-reaky! "I was waiting for you, Hugo."
• CHARLIE'S guitar!
• Kiss her! Damnit, why didn't you kiss her!!!
• And then they went into Jacob's home...

• DUDE... Miles is smart.
• Shoot-out at the Swan. Good thing they all know how to use guns.
• Whoa. Intense. Emotional. And... nothing?!?!
• Shit, Jack got hit! Marvin Candle lost his hand!
• And stupid ass got impaled!
• No! NOT JULIET!!!!
• I'm going. to. cry.
• I'm crying. That HURT.

"I love you, James. I love you so much..."

• Ricardos, huh.
• Some unintelligible language...
• What the hell is in that stupid box?!?! It's someone's body. Has to be.
• DID I CALL IT OR WHAT!
• So... lemme guess... Is "Locke" Jacob? Holy Fuckery, what the hell is going on?!?!
• And I'm still reeling over Juliet's death...
• Loophole?
• Have I mentioned how much I love Michael Emerson?
• "What about you?" OUCH.
• Wow. They actually did it.
• And I'm sad all over again that Juliet is down there. Oh! but not dead... yet...
• Set it off! Set! IT! OFF!!!!!

Wow. That. Was fucking. INCREDIBLE.

Pseudo-Live Blog: "Follow the Leader"

Yay! Someone commented on my blog this year! Someone's reading this besides me! Yippee!!! Let's get on with it then, shall we?

• Previously on: John Locke died, but he's on the island; Ben has something to do with something; Faraday explains how to change the future - or is it past?
• Back at the last scene from last week - WHY are they making us watch this again? I don't want to see - ugh.
  
• Whoa, Jack just got rifle-whipped by Widmore. FUCK he's totally yucky!!!!
• Haha, Kate wanted to lie to them, and Jack told the truth. That was pretty funny.
  
• I like how it's not just your typical flashback/flash forward - it's YEARS between them.
• Ok, so this is present day, and John Locke has found The Others.
  
• I still don't get why Alpert doesn't age...
  
• What the hell errand does John have to run with Alpert? And is that something different the fact that he DIED? Or that he really does have a purpose? And what is the purpose?
• Ben don't look so good. At all.
• I forgot how Sun - oh yeah, they were in the cottages and found that picture?
  
• WHAT THE FUCK - watched them all DIE? Richard - what the hell are you saying? Oh GAAHHHHD...
  

Ok, I know that I overreacted. Clearly, there is an explanation for what he just said. Clearly. Right? They didn't really all die. In 1977. Right?

• So that scene with John/Alpert/Ben/Sun was not so eventful.
• NOW we're getting somewhere. Jack is still getting his face bashed in. Please, please Others, don't mess up his pretty face. It's too pretty...
• Kate has a great point. And, duh, you know that she was a fugitive. She would have gone to JAIL. Of course she doesn't want to change the futurepast.
• This Eloise has a very strange face. As if she's molded from wax or whatever.
  
• Wait, that's not true, Jack. If you do what's in that journal, doesn't that mean that only the 'future' will change?
  
• BUT then, if the future changes, there's no need for Daniel to go back, and therefore he won't die.
• Great. Now Sawyer is getting his face bashed in. WHY are you ruining the handsome faces? WHY?
  
• I thought these Dharma people were all about peace, love, and something. Well, yeah, we've already seen they're totally not.

Oh yeah, and the Dharma camp is atop the bomb Jack needs. Convenient.

• Yuck. Poor Sawyer.
• Horace has a point. Stop making his face ugly.
  
• Man, that guy is a Class A Douche for hitting Juliet like that.
  
• Back at the camp... Hurley steals food, the two Asians become the three Asians.
• And Dr. Chang/Marvin Candle just realized that Miles is his son. He's actually going to listen to what Faraday said.
• Back in the future... John is the leader. And I echo Ben's sentiment - "What plane?"
• Oh right. The PLANE.
• What the heck.... John is telling Alpert how to tell himself what to do? Fuckery. Fuckery!
• And the shit-eating grin on John's face was priceless.

• I don't remember how John got shot...
• "How did you know H'wen to be here?" - Ben
• Ah, cool how we heard him disappear.
• Why does Richard seem shocked that John has died?
• So now Sawyer is making a bargain. He and Juliet on the sub in exchange for info.
  
• He's not going to tell them where the hostiles are - he ran cons... come on.
• WHOA. I coulda sworn Kate got shot! Sayid to the rescue! Almost forgot he was there... oops!

Not going to lie, I'm pretty freaking sleepy watching this. I need to power through the rest of the episode, but it makes it very difficult to type!!!

• So the three Losties are conferencing. And Jack of course thinks he's right again - he's certain of it. '
• They are making people get on the sub now, and Miles sees his dad yell at his mom to get her off the island.
• Sawyer wants to pull a Biff and place huge bets on games.
• I wonder if the sub really will take them somewhere else... hmmm....
• This whole swimming to get under a tunnel, or whatever thing is pretty crazy. Wait, is this where Adam & Eve come from? Remember from eason 1? Adam and Eve?
• Oh the tunnel thing - Matthew Fox was talking about that being a risky/scary stunt.
• (Wow, this sleep is really getting to me.)
• I think I totally missed what happened to Kate. She left, but why again? And where to? Ugh....
• It's really weird to see Richard the same age 30 years apart.
  
• John's a really weird leader. Definitely wet behind the ears. That's what I think, at least.
• Yeah, I'd like to know why Jacob's whereabouts are secret too.
  
• Dude... this better not be like the Wizard of Oz, where there is no Jacob, and it's just some weirdo.
• Ok, so did Ben mean kill him in the future? L.A. future? Or kill him on the island? Which time that he tried to kill him???

• Back in 77. Sub time.
  
• Whoever thought Juliet and Sawyer would be so much in LURRRRV?
• Oh CRAP. And the Sawyeret is threatened once again. FUCK. I hate this. I want Juliet to be happy for once, the poor thing. And I'm pretty sick of Kate right now.
  
• Wow, that CGI doesn't look good at all. I'm too picky.
  
• This is one weird little lair they've got going on here.
  
• "Now what" is a good question, Eloise.
• Wait, so didn't they start their trek the night before?
• Nice CGI'd clouds. Did they really add to the atmosphere?
  
• Oh Ben, you big bullshitter.
  
• Yeah, why ARE they going.... so he can KILL him? WHAT?!?!

Dude, even BEN had a funky look on his face. Next week is the finale - that is nuts!!! I can't believe it. It makes me sad. I'm too tired to be funny or anything similar at this point.... :-/

Pseudo-Live Blog: The Variable

Yay! New episode! Yay! Previously on!

• Looks like it's about Desmond and his mum. Based on the Previously On.
• Oh, I thought that was Miss Clu - the doctor lady.
• Aha... so Eloise pays Penny a visit then?
  
• Well, duh, we knew her son was Daniel. Uh, was there supposed to be mystery in that?
• So, Daniel is at the dock, seeing Miles.
  
• Dan wants to see the newbies. Fast. Now.
• And here's the clip that's been making the talk show rounds while Matthew Fox has been representin'.
• Whuuu...?? Oh. Star Trek. Meh.

• Must be young Dan. They got a good look-alike for his mum too. Where the heck are they? Why doesn't Daniel have a dialect?
• Destiny. There's that word again.
• Jack had too many clothes on.
• Juliet says. Sawyer does.
  
• Phil is in trouble. I don't really know why they told Jack about that.
  
• Oh! That's the weird scene we saw earlier in the season! The 'you need a hard hat down here' scene!!!
• Here is why the button is born. HOW the button is born?

• Hm. Maybe Daniel was doing reverse psychology on Dr. Chang?
• I really hate Daniel's 90's hair. And how about that control Eloise has over Daniel. Ha.
• He got a grant from Widmore - ah - yep, called it.
  
• Still wondering why the hell he doesn't have a dialect.
• No wonder everyone thinks Daniel is crazy. He IS.
• Oh, maybe he's not that crazy. Ha. He knows one of the hostiles is his mum.

• Oh! Yay, this is what we saw about Daniel when we first learned about him. Wonderful. Still don't know who that woman is.
• So, Widmore finds him.
• Wait, how does he get this memory thing.... what the fuckery? Need to know how the hell this happens.
  
• Weird, Widmore is telling Dan about the fake plane. WTF. I would be freaked if I was Dan.
• "Whoa. Why would you tell me that?" says Dan.
• And why wouldn't Dan remember tomorrow?
• See. Juliet overrode what Sawyer said/did.
  
• Dan's going to go see Charlotte. Hahaha. Weird.
  
• Wow, he looks super creepy. I would not want that man around my kid.
• Shootout at the old corral!
• Holy crap Dan is bleeding!

• What is with this memory thing? I want to know what the hell happened.
  
• WTF, how was Daniel all bleeding and stuff but now he's fine?
• Uh. Oh. Problems in Sawyeret-ville.
• BIG problems in Sawyeret-ville.
• Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
• The story of the button!!!
• WTF?!?!?! How NUTS would that be if flight 815 actually landed in LA like it was supposed to?!?!
• HYDROGEN BOMB!
• And then, back in present-day...
• Uh, I have a feeling little Charlie is not going to just be watched, but taken...
• Awww... Desny are so cute!
• Wait. Did Widmore just say that Daniel was his son too?!?!?!?!?! I mean, I always suspected... but.... ?!?!?!?!
• WHAT. The FUCK. She shot her own son. She shot - she killed Daniel!
• Wow. I am so very. very. sad! Ok, maybe just a little.
  

THIS is getting really interesting now.

Live Blog: "Some Like It Hoth"

Wow, no previously on... crazy! Who the - oh this is Miles. Get it.

Damn, I'm buzzed...ok. Gotta get it together....

• So little Miles is honing his skills. Yup. Dead body in a nearby apartment. Love those.
• Yeah, I would be scared if he were my kid too.
• And, 'present day'... they're trying to sneak lil Ben out. Miles is way older now. But the funny thing is that the little preview was probably just about 5 years before the Dharma stuff.
• Circle of Trust. hehehe... Horace the She-Man. (Sorry, actor. Sorry.)
• Oh, 334... what is that.
• WTF, who is that? Dead? Haha, fell into a ditch after he got SHOT IN THE HEAD!!!!!
• The dead guy is going to tell Miles all sorts of secrets. Love it.

Aaaannndddd... break!

• And we're back. Miles a little while ago. Meaning a little while from real present day.
• Poor mom is sick.... :-( And I kinda hate how they tried to make him look younger with that lame hairdo and piercings. He looks kinda stupid.
• Yeah, she's not going to tell him why/how he does what he does. But duh if Dad is dead, then Miles can talk to him instead. He's probably not even really dead. Just dead to her.
• "Somewhere you can NEVER go." That certainly wouldn't stop me. Just make me more determined - you?
• Haha... Hurley trying to prevent global warming. Nice.
• And Roger thinks Ben is dead... but how will they explain? Oh, play stupid. That makes sense. Don't get the drunk Work Man mad...
• I love Juliet. And I love Sawyeret. I hope they last.

• Shit, potty break made me miss the beginning. But duh, anyone knows that dead bodies release gas and smell in general. But Hurley doesn't know there's a body...
• Well, now he does.
• "You can talk to dead people..." Hehehe....
• Dude, Hurley, you... oh, wait. Christian? Is that what he means? Ana Lucia! Libby! Dave!!! Yes, he can.
• Now Miles looks his age. Thank God they are not trying to make him look younger.
• Sure, charge extra for a cremated body. Well, I guess I would too.
• Russell... Eh, I think he's BS'ing.
• NAOMI!!! I hate her wig - I mean, hair.
• Roger "Work Man" Linus is gross. Just putting that out there. What the fuck did he care about lil Ben anyway? He treated him like crap, so fuck Roger!!!
• Kate can never mind her own business, don't you know that Roger?
• "Love Will Keep Us Together" - nice.
• Ridiculous experiments on Hydra island, eh?
• WHAT?!?!?!?! That guy is his DAD?!?! Oh yeah... that's why his mom looked familiar. Shit. I should've picked up on that!!!!!!!

• Ugh. For whatever reason, I can't stand Naomi.
• WHOA! A purchase order for graves and an old airplane!!! Shit, that's the COVER UP!!!!!
• Still hate her wig.
• HOLY SHIT! $1.6 Million!!! Fuck yeah, I would go too!
• I still heart Matthew Fox...
• How did I NOT guess that Dr. Chang/Marvin Candle was Miles' dad. Fuck!
• Wait, fucking Miles is NOT my age. NOT AT ALL. He's like 40, and I am definitely NOT.
• I like that gate camo'd by the bushes. Nice touch. Wait, is this the Swan? It is, right. The HATCH!
• Oh shit, the numbers!!!!!

• Damn, they're just going to take him like that. I guess he's not getting that money after all.
• Oh, they don't want him to work for Widmore... so they must know Ben.
• Hm. What lies in the shadow of the statue? That has been brought up a few times.
• Yup, say it like it is, Miles. Get the money!!! Woooooo!
• But don't these guys know that no matter what, he'll end up with his dad anyway?
• The one that's gonna win... I wonder if we'll see these fools again.
• Dude, I do not like the FX!!! You can tell they're in some fake van with fake background. Eesh. I hate the little blue outline.
• "I don't wanna know him better... and stuff." hehehe.
• Dude, Hurley has a point. Miles needs to get this shit out.
• Hoth... here we go. He's writing something. What's a Hoth anyway? He's writing FanFic???? Lame. Hahah....
• OH - he's writing Empire Strikes Back... hahaha... he's going to pull a Biff. Hahahaha....
• La Fleur... I like. I like Sawyeret. I've said that already.
• "Get some rope." I like the sound of that... ;-)

Sheeeyoooooot.... internet got all f'd and I didn't save my last comments. But hey, this episode pretty much rocked my socks. Lost of reveals, and HELLO Dan Faraday!!!

Liveblog: Dead is Dead

Back in Ohio this week. Here we go!

• Previously on Lost: All sorts ofBen Linus stuff.
• Now, somedude riding a horse. And talk of Jacob! "The island chooses who the island chooses." - Richard Alpert.
• This guy looks all medieval and stuff. He's there to see Ben. Is this Widmore?
• Ben wantsto staywith the Others. Big surprise. Here is where Ben starts to become an Other.
• YES!!!! It IS Widmore!!!
• Wasthat a big flashback for old Ben?
• Land of the living my ass. These people are all dead. They have to be.
• I never believe this guy. Going to be judged.
• OH. By the Monster. Hmph.

I need to turn the cc off. And do the plank.

• Assassin lady. I didn't like her on New Amsterdam, and I don't like her now.
• What the heck was that exchange all about?
• And we still don't know who this guy is. He packed a gun. Ben is playing him.
• Alex is back in this episode.
• WTF Ben, you're an ass. He's making alliances.
• Ah, remember the good ol' days when he was Henry Gale? Benry, as we called him?
• Nice hair. Whoa, that's Ethan. Crazy. This is the late 80's-early 90s? Oh, 80's.
• He took Alex. That sucks. Poor Danielle.
• Ben didn't have the heart to kill Danielle. He was just getting started back then.
• So he really did love Alex, did he.
• The Elephant in the Room = the fact that you fucking KILLED ME.
• See, I knew it. Ben needed that information. The lady.
• B'whaaaa???? Decided to help Ben?!
• John Locke is a changed man since his death.
• Oh, Cesar. And that whole "My Friend" thing among certain men.
• Wow. Ben totally just shot Cesar. "Consider that my apology."

• Row, row, row... ok - couldn't help it.
• Oh yeah, who the hell beat Ben up? I can't remember.
• Aha. He wants to be judged for letting Alex die. Love it.
• Widmore, still ontheisland, eh?
• Complication my ass - he just couldn't kill her. Ben used to have a heart.
• And Ben questions Charles for the first time. Is it what Jacob wants? Is it?
• Goooooood question John! Whose idea was it?
• Whoa.... there's a freakin' person in Alex's room!!!! Alex? Be that you?
• Ha! Sun!
• Whoaaaaa... Christian came to tell them to wait for John! Freakin' nuts!!!!

• It's interesting that Lapidis is there at all.
• Aw... Sun + Jin Forever!
• I love Terry and Michael. Love them.
• So Ben CAN summon the monster. We guessed he might have last season when it came after Kiwi and his men. (Yes, I know it's Keamy, but I like to call him Kiwi.)
• Ew. WTF. Was that like a big toilet flush???
• God, Ben's hair is AWFUL.
• So this is how Charles leaves.
• Whoa. Charles was kinda right, eh? If the island wants her dead, she'll be dead. And so she died.
• So is Ben being judged because he KEPT Alex?
• Ben is scared... because he thinks they may be dead too, is my guess. Because that is what I fucking think.
• Hahahah! He told Sun to go back in fearing the monster, and it was just Locke. Oy.
• What da huh? John says he knows where Smoky is? Psh.

• Liar. John is not the same. Not JUST the same, at least.
• What. Ben kills Penny, eh? Nah. Don't believe it. But we will see how Ben got all beat up.
• Where the hell is that? The wall around our temple? Wha?
• UNDER the temple... isn't that where those dudes got sucked in by the monster? The ones that were with Danielle?
• WHAT? So he DID kill Penny? WTF. Fucking A.
• Is that supposed to be Long Beach? Yup. A sign for Catalina. Interesting.
• He can't kill a kid. Or can he?
• AHA! So Des beat the crap out of Ben. Love it. Love it!!!!

• What the fuckery is this? Ilana isin charge now? Geeze. I hate newbies.
• And this temple thing. This is just weird.
• Dude, that's totally where Ben needs to be.How does John NOT knowthat?
• What's with the hieroglyphics?
• WHOA! The monster existed back then!
• And now it's SURROUNDING Ben!!!!
• These FX are not that great.
• Ugh, that is so sad when Alex got shot. Hate these FX.
• That's not Alex. That's Smoky. Just like Eko saw his bro.
• So, Ben was going to kill Locke again. Adn I think he's lying when he ays he'll follow him.
• That's one long piece of vine John found.

This episode should have been amazing.... but it was - ugh. Maybe I need to think about it further. Maybe I'm just distracted from being here. In Ohio. Bored. Ugh.

Okie dokie. That's all I gotta say for now. Just not enlightened.

Psuedo-Live Blog: "What Happened, Happened"

Ah yes. Another Wednesday staying up late so that I can write this for you. And by you, I mean, me.

• Previously on Lost. Ok, we have Skate stuff going on. Mostly Kate, I guess. Something about her and Clementine and Aaron. (It kinda "helps" that I read the freakin' description of the episode, though.) Oh yeah, and Ben got shot last week by Sayid.
• So, Sayid did NOT break Jin's nec. I repeat, he did NOT break Jin's neck. Sorta disappointing in terms of dramatic effect, but glad to know Jinny-Jin-Jin is alive.
• Ben, meanwhile, is barely hanging on - or is he? He's a clever one, I'm sure even when he's severely injured.
• Meanwhile, back at Camp Dharma, people are trying to calmly get organized. And Jack starts asking questions. And She-man Horace doesn't like it. I say She-man because he looks like a menopausal woman who stopped caring about her looks.
  
• So Ben's papa is kinda flirty with Freckle. Ha. Ick. Ew. Oh, and he had her at Linus. Meaning, she felt the ick factor too.
• Jin carries a wounded Ben onto Camp Dharma. And Roger "Work Man" Linus actually seems to give a crap.
• Meanwhile, back in Hawaii - I mean, LA... aaron's a wittle baby. "Mama" Kate pays Cassidy a visit. "Baby Mama" Cassidy. And has to break the news that she knows Sawyer. Catfight, anyone???

• Tons of money!!! TONS!
  
• Sawyer sure told Kate a bunch of stuff in a short amount of time.
  
• Cassidy ain't buying this shiiiizzzz.
  
• So... no catfight?
  
• Cassidy is good. She know what's what with Aaron.
  
• Aaaaand... back on the island... Kate gets involved in business she ain't supposed to be involved in. Can't that bitch just keep still for a minute?
• god, horace got FAT. It's so easy to pick on him. It's probably very insulting to the actor who plays him.
• Hm. So Jack is a suspect, since they were janitor keys on the door. Of course, we know that Ben took 'em from The Work Man Supremo.
  
• Ooooh, see. Rog don't have the keys. Now he's Suspect Supremo.
• And they have the look on their face that says, "Jack has to fix this. Damnit, why does it always have to be Jack?"
• Hahahaha... Hurley: "Checking to see if I'm disappearing."
• Shit yeah, Miles' explanation is really confusing. How did something happen that you are unaware of? What is the point of origination?
• Aaaand... Jack refuses to help because he freakin' thinks he's God. As always. Could this be the season I finally like Sawyer more than Jack? I mean, Matthew Fox is looking a little more haggard....

• Jack is so right, he's done his part - he's saved Ben. Ah, finally he thinks he's NOT supposed to fix things. Ok, maybe I was a little premature about the Saywer/Jack thing.
  
• Oh, shoot. He's right, Kate didn't like the old Jack, either. So, basically, he just told her that she always liked Sawyer better.
• Hahaa, I was just going to say "Where's Ethan?" But uh, Ethan is a baby.
  
• Roger's not that stupid. He knows what Sawyer was up to asking him that key question. No pun intended.
• I like how Miles and Hurley are trying to figure out the whole time travel thing, in order to help us figure out what the hell is going on. Good device.
  
• Hurley's question about Ben remembering Sayid is exactly what I've been thinking. So... there really is no explanation, and it's the writers' way of saying, "Just don't think too much about it, peeps."
• Wow, Juliet. That's BOLD. Thinking of having The Others help. Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah, because it's nearly midnight, and I'm TIRED.

• How is Kate going to manage? Juliet doesn't know Kate at all, does she.
• I like that we get to see everyone's perspective of what happened leading up to the Ajeera flight.
  
• Holy shit, how did she manage to lose Aaron?
  
• Whoa that was weird - she looked just like Claire. From the back. Totally uglier from the front.
• I wonder just how many of those Dharma vans there are.
• Of course Sawyer is going to help Freckles. But I LIKE Sawyerette!!!

• Who the hell has a No Smoking sign above their doorbell? Clearly that must've been a public house.
• So Kate and Cassidy have had an ongoing friendship. "Auntie Kate" says Clementine.
• Dude, Claire wasn't just gone - she didn't just leave him. She kinda... died?
• Eh, I dunno if I buy Kate taking a baby to fill the void of Sawyer.
  
• Awwww... Sawyer LURVS Juliette enough to help Ben! Awww....
  
• What? Juliet just barges in on Jack in the shower?
  
• What's up with Jack not drying off before putting his shirt on? And I love how he has a shirt on, but the towel could fall off at any moment... I mean, that's not very modest, is it.
• And Sawyer and Kate have a moment regarding Clementine. Well, it looks like Cassidy was right about Sawyer jumping from the 'copter.

• Apparently Christian Shepard likes 'em young and MILFy.
• Claire's mom sure doesn't look like Claire's MOM.
  
• Dude, Kate is crazy to tell Claire's mom about this Aaron stuff. AND the island stuff. Crazy!
• Here we go. I'm getting a little teary-eyed over Kate's goodbye.
  
• Why does Alpert look confused?
  
• Oh, that pretty much explains what happened to Ben. "He'll forget this ever happened, and his innocence will be gone. He will always be one of us." - Alpert.
• The Creation of Benjamin Linus - Manipulative Fuck.
• Where DID they go? And, backtracking a bit, WHO was it that Alpert was told to check with?
• And WHAT? Is that where young Ben woke up? In 'present day' with John Locke?

I have to say, I find that Kate-centric episodes have become increasingly less enjoyable. The fact that it was capped with something completely weird made it even more awkward for me. But it is past midnight now, and I'm all sleepsville, so...? Best thing about the episode was that Sawyer seems pret-ty darn dedicated to Juliet. Liking that.

Live Blog: "He's Our You"

Oooh! For real live this week! Let's get on with it then, shall we?

• Previously on Lost: All Sayid, all the time. Shall we guess that this week's episode is Sayid-centric? We shall, we shall.
• Tikrit. Shall we guess that is little Sayid? Say? Or 'Yid?
  
• Oy, subtitles + liveblogging = disaster. Thank goodness for DVRs.
• The chicken must be killed, little man. Gross.
  
• Oh, this must be Sayid, the one who gives him feed.
  
• Yup. Killed him with his own hands. That was Sayid. Right?
• Yup, Sayid is The Man. Cute little man, too.
• Oh right, so he's jailed because he's thought to be a Hostile.
  
• Awwww... Little Ben is so nice. How DID he get to be the way he did?
• Sayid won't eat because it's Lil Ben that's feeding him. How WEIRD. He must be like, what? How the hell did this cute little kid become so manipulative?
  
• But maybe the little kid is being manipulative right now. Oh he ISSSSS!!!!!

And... break! Well, pretty much time for me to check some e-mail and ffwd the DVR to catch up. (Oh right... I still have to watch this week's Castle. Love me some Nate Fillion.)

• Crazy camera work! this guy's running after someone DANGEROUS! Aka, Sayid.
  
• Oh, it's Sayid the Assassin. The one who worketh for Benjamin.
• What was he looking at on his head? Did I miss something? Just checking if he was dead?
• Russia? That's Cyrillic, right? What the heck do I know?
• These two seem like they made a good team. Until now. Because now, Ben is breaking up with poor Say.
• What a bummer. Free. Right. Sayid is not free. Not free of the torture that plagues his lost soul.
• Oh those do not look good at ALL. Sayid knows what those are for.
  
• Haha. But they are for cutting the binds. I fell for it too. Drrrrr.....
• Horace is ugly. He's like a man-woman.
  
• inFILtrate. Interesting. Is that a common pronunciation?
• Ooooohhh... the next level. Horace, you don't even KNOW what the next level is. Say is going to kick your sorry man-woman ass!!!
• Aw, Juliet - she is sad because Kate is there, and Sawyer loves her. Booooo...
  She lurvs her some Sawyer.
• Not only is Hoarace a man-woman, he is also short.
  
• Sawyer's going to bust a can of whoop-dee-do on the Hostile.
  
• "A 12-year-old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I'm doing?" - LOVE!!!
• "Let's see how you feel after three years of living in the 70's." - LOVE LOVE!!!
• Dude, Say. Sawyer is right. Cooperate or die, Say.

• Aren't people going to wonder why the newbs are totally getting along swimmingly with the Dharmas? Oh wait, Hurley wasn't a Dharma.
• Hurley and his big mouth just broke two hearts. Weird. Hahaha.
• Oh gosh, who - oh, this is Ben's Papa!
  
• Duuuuuuude. Ben's dad is cuh-ray-zay. And actually got Say-say feeling sorry for the kid.
  
• I want to go to there. Hawaii, that is, not necessarily Santo Domingo. Not that there's anything wrong with the DR. Hear it's lovely.
• Wait, so... won't Ben remember who the hell all these weird people are now that they are prison pals?
• Ooooh. Ben is calling Sayid a killer. That's not right. Sayid is a tortured soul. Ben is - oh Ben.
• Oh, that was a "this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you" moment.
• What? Billie Holiday or something?
• Who's this guy. Holden did they say?
• How is he going to get out of this one? He can't. He didn't want to!
• Oh god, poor Sawyer has to watch.
• Holden's dialect is scary.

Wow, I like the "He's our you" line.

• I like how it's showing all this from Say's POV. But now we have to know how he gets there.
• Cute bartender!
• So, this lady manages to get him onto the plane.
  
• Oh, it's that expensive scotch. Forgot the name, but the one that Widmore drinks.
• She's a big fat liar. She is there for a reason. We just need to know what the hell it is.
• So what did you do? "I killed lots and lots of people."
• She's a wily one now, isn't she.
• What the hell did they do to him anyway? Truth serum?
• Ha. No one is going to believe this story! Hahaha.
• Hahaha... they think they used too much drugs on him.
  
• And the two chicas are worried about Saw and Say.
• What's in Ann Arbor?
• Evil Baby Ethan.
  
• Sawyer can't really get outta this one... eeeeek.
• Yup. Radzinski won.

• Sexy time with Sayid. Woweee wow.
• Does she drug him into - oh now, she kicks him in the face!
• Wow, she's pretty freakin' good then.
• What's Sawyer cookin' up???
• Oh, why did they come back, that's what he wanted to know. She's going to say something about coming back for him....
• Serio. WTFH?
  
• Ah, extras. They're so awesome.
• How does a burning bus drive into a building like that? He must've got Lil Ben to do it. OR - Lil Ben just DID it.
• Sayid's purpose is to show Ben to the Hostiles? Hm.

• I take it she was hired by Ben, not that dude's family.
  
• OMG - is he going to kill BEN!!!!!
• Who's there? Ah, just Jin.
• Did he just kill JIN???
• WHAT!
• WHAT?!?!
• Did he just kill JIN AND BEN!?!?!?!
• WHAT?!?!?!?!

(Late) Live Blog: Namaste

Live to me, but late to you... Spent all day with family - a necessity, given a new addition to the fold. Thus, I am quite late with this, but here I am, at 12:39 AM Pacific. Dedicated, as always, to giving whomever you are my "live" blog.

• No "Previously on Lost." Was this on purpose, or did my DVR miss something???
• Airplane - wonder where this is going. Hmm... could it be the explanation of how the Ajeera flight ended up on the island?
• Frank Lapidis, Captain Extraordinaire.
  
• And... here we go... the plane is not doing so well. People freakin' out. Time warp!!!!!
• So, no crash?
• OOOOOHHHHH.... so is that why they built that runway? So people could land there eventually? This was before the runway that Jliet and them built. It's not paved. I think this is the 'glimmer' in their eye.
  
• Wpw, they are not doing so well. Bloody, yucky. Co-Cap is DOA.
• So, some of them landed with the plane, but the O6... oh, wait. Sun is left behind. The other folks are gone. Why did Sun get left?
• Oh, and Ben. So, Sun and Ben are left.
• Ben is BS'ing AGAIN. He knows what happened.
  
• The others ended up three years prior. WTF?!?!?!?!
• No no no.... No Skate! Sawyeret FTW!!!!
• Is it me or is Josh Holloway looking great this season?
• No love between Jack and Sawyer then, huh?
• And the bad news happens. John Locke is dead.
• They dunno about Dharma living on. Nor do they know that the castaways are all Dharma'd out. In 1977 no doubt.

• Whoa. Jack just said Sun was back. Jinnny is going to find her... but sadly, won't.
• Kate to Sawyer: "Other than you, who else is still here?"
• Um, hm.... my lady love. Fuckin' A. He had to lie to Juliet, AND to Kate.
• Side note: I am entirely TOO tired to watch this right now!!!! How will I ever make sense of it all?
• Poor Juliet. She can tell the whole Kate thing with Sawyer.
• Poor Jin. He will never find Sun, since she is not at all anywhere near where they are - timewise, that is.
• Oh, Jin is reverting to his old gangsta self!
• Radzinski! That's the guy who was stationed in the Swan and shot his brains out!
• So why the hell DID Sun get "left behind" in present (?) time.
• I'm glad Lapidis is alive. For now, at least.
• I don't like these extras.
• I also don't like the ADR work.
• Leave it to Sun to remain aware of Ben's wherabouts.
• Or try to, at least.
• Oh RIGHT. There are two islands...
  

• OH sholy. That's ETHAN. Yeah right, like Ethan was MY AGE. HA.
• How convenient that Danny's mum didn't mention they would be in '77
• Who be the Hostile that's in the perimeter? Huh, Jin?
• And how weird must it be that Jack now has to follow Sawyer's command?
• Ah! Sayid is the Hostile.

• Aha, so where IS Faraday, then?
  
• And how good does that tight blue shirt look on Foxy Man?
• This is actually quite cool. I like that part of the O6 is now having to answer to their former Islander's whims.
• Meanwhile, Ben and Sun make their way thru the jungle...
• Oh wait... so are they in the same time just on different islands?
• I like Lapidis.
• Sun is a fantastic little liar, isn't she?

• Ha. Wonder if Sawyer made Jack a Workman. Ha.
• Ha. Wonder if Juliet neglected to put Kate on the - oh, I guess that worked out ok then. I think Juliet did that on purpose, due to the whole Saywer thing. I'm sure she did, in fact. Women. Such bitches sometimes.
• So, is Smokey wiating for Lapidis and Sun? What the heck will they find on the main island?
• So far, emptiness. Desolation. Don't think they are in the same time AT ALL.
• Hon locke. That's who that is. Oh, Christian Shepard!!!!
  
• DO NOT follow him.

Wait a SECOND! Does this mean that the whole lot of the people on the plane are DEAD?!

• Christian to Sun: "I'm sorry, but you've got quite a bit of a journey ahead of you." Ain't that the truth.
• OH! Jack is going to see Juliet in Sawyer's house!!!!!
• Oh GEEZE, these two are going to go at it again? Showdown between the two machos of the island. Sawyer is winning.
• That's LITTLE BEN!!!! Giving Sayid a sammy!
• And THAT'S IT?!?!

WHOA. Next week looks AWESOME!
K, don't have much to say. Too ty-ty to even keep eyes open. Good epi though.

Liveblog: "LaFleur"

It's a quarter to 9 here in good ol' Troy, OH, and I'm putting this up now because I know that the internet connection will disappoint me tonight.

I'm pretty excited, though. Of course, "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" was so amazing, that I simply don't think that anything can measure up. I full expect tonight's episode to be "eh," and hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised :-)

• Previously on... Ben turned the donkey wheel, Char dies, John is on a mission.
• And now.... Sawyer is still holding on to the rope that John went down.
• Jin speaks incredibly good English now.
• What the heckers - weird ass humungous statue!
• So we see what happened to all else while John spun the wheel... More time travel. Less brain matter. Less headache.
• Jin's English is seriously a little too good.
• HOLY FUCKERY. They have been there for three years now, eh?!
• And who are these people, I forgot. I've seen them before...
• Who the fuck is LaFleur....?! Sawyer? Is Sawyer LaFleur?
• He IS!
• So. They are in Dharma time, but not really...


• Amy...? Who's Amy?
• Reiko Ainsworth is Amy? Preggo Amy?
• Jan? Did she call him Jan? Jen?
• What the heckers... babies don't come THAT fast - not without water breaking.
• Now we see them... Danny is mumbling.
• What won't you do, Dan? What?
• Miles is showing a whole lotta gray.
• Yeah, when I hear gunshots, I run right toward them...
• So who's the blondie that was to be executed??? Amy, is that you???


• Yes, who are they?
• SERIOUSLY, Jin's English...
• Big monster gate!
• Little bitch, with earplugs!
• So, Juliet's a mechanic now?
• But the real question is - are Sawyer and Juliet Sawyer and Juliet???

• Oh! They must be - oh now, this is three years ago.
• Horace is gross - he just looks gross.
• I think Horace is lying about Black Rock.
• She used to live there is what she's looking at.
• They're going to fucking alter history. What the fuckery.
• "The record is spinning again, and we're just not on the song we want to be on." Awww...
• And Charlotte! Whoa shiznit!
• This is how they're going to stay. This lockdown is going to last a while, and they're going to show some brilliance.
• That, or Alpert is going to see them and they will plot together.
• And there's Alpert NOW! How did I know?!

So far, I was kinda right. I mean, this certainly is not up to par with L&D of JB, but it's not awful. I'm still intrigued. Not much to say while it's happening though...


• I wonder just how old Alpert is anyway.
• "Your buddy out there with the eyeliner..." LOVE IT!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
• I like Sawyer's approach. Bringing up John Locke and all.
• This is a very sad episode in some ways.
• Leaving the island would be such a major adjustment.
• Thank you, Sawyer, thank you. That's what I was thinking about leaving. Whatever she is going back to is not what she thinks.
• It's a nice little friendship these two have formed. And to think they were pretty fierce enemies at one point. Ha.
• Why did they stay so long anyway?
• AHA! They are more than friends!!! They are SAWYERET!!!
• Thaaaaat is freakin' sweet. That cute little flower.....
• Yes! Yes! Yes!!!! They luuuurrrrrrv each other!

I don't know if I'm with the populus in loving the Sawyeret pairing, but I certainly do love it! And come on, how obvious was that?


• So Horace is waking from his drunken stupor...
• I wonder what the heck happened to the chick Horace used to be with.
• Oh, so Horace asked that question about three years being long enough to get over someone.
• Shit, Kate is going to come back like right now. Fuckery.
• Three years, huh. Shoot.
• See, they're back. Kate's back. Just when he thought he was over her. This does not bode well for me.
• MAN. Talk about a reunion! Oh, I'm going to cry...

Oldie But Goodie: Jorge Garcia (Musical) Hardee's Commercial

Thanks to the folks at Delta Park Project, this old gem of a Hardee's commercial starring Jorge Garcia is now yours to see. And there's music!

Live Blog: "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

Oy, almost missed it because I was so excited about No Doubt playing at Mandalay Bay and figuring that out....

• Ajeera passenger seems to be in a Dharma station, or something of the sort. He found the map or maps of the island, along with a shotgun
• Ah, so they call him Caesar. And she's Ilana.
• Nothing useful. I see what these kind of people are - LIARS - just like the rest of them. He's a BIG liar. Flashlight instead of a shotgun. Hahaha
• So they found a man wearing a suit - this would be John Locke, lady and gentleman.
• There are several people now. I suppose all survivors of Flight 316.
• Stupid ABC had to give away that John Locke was going to be in this episode. So what should have been an AHA!!!! moment - was sadly weh-weh disappointing.

• Wait, so there were three boats that were already there? Weird.
• Aha - so Walt is in this.
  
• Haha, guess. He will tell her the truth (did it already). She either knows that already, or doesn't believe a word he says.
• And flashback time! We get to see what happens to him, hopefully. This better not be one cocktease of an episode.
• So John is awake - in Tunisia, I bet!!!! And still with a broken leg.
• Yup, Tunisia. Ah, nothing like barfing after a strange time warp trip to Tunisia. With a camera on you. And strange wiring all over. He's no longer on the island, so he can't do much of anything, I suppose.
• Poor John, suffering a broken and probably paralyzed leg. Probably not totally paralyzed because he can feel the pain.
• This must be scary for him - random weirdos picking him up in the middle of the night. Because he's a secret. A big secret.
• Pills... pain? Poison? Passout drugs?
• OH! Scary guy from Fringe and last season.
• I hate when they make people bite down on something for pain. Oh got, they are going to - AAAACCCCHHHHHH...
• That. Was. Gross.
• Awake. With scary guy from Fringe. Wait, no. That's Widmore. I don't believe that John knows Mr. W. Or just W. Like the former Prez.
• OH right. He met him back in Alpert's camp.
• The Exit. Aha.
• Uh, yes. You DID come to bring them back. W knows.
• This must be a bit of shock for John.
• Hm. This... war... that W talks about.... Is Ben the opposition? Must be.... so why does Ben help them? Hm.

• Haha, they explain the Bentham thing. heeeeee.
• W has a point with the hasn't tried to kill Locke thing.
• Hunh... W won't let Locke die. Right.
• Abbadon, that's right. That's his name.
• Why does it seem like Abbadon is driving Locke to his death? He's so freakin freaky.
• Santo Domingo... ? Why there, Locke? Well, I should just be patient, eh?
• Ah, so Sayid is doing like a Habitat for Humanity thing in the DR? I GUESSSSSS.
• Sayid has a great point - he got to live with Nadia because he left the island. You can't argue with that JL.
• NYC. Is this where Walt comes in? Probably.
• Poor JL wants to find Helen again. Boo.
• Ha! I love how they address Walt's crazy growth too!
• Holy shizzzz... a little "awwwww" at the meeting of John and Walt.
• Damn, Walt has good dreams. Like good prescient dreams.
• Poor Walt - he doesn't know that his Dad is dead. And JL - I hope he doesn't have the heart to ask Walt back.
• I bet that ONE is Jack. The one he has to convince.
• Oh shizzy - BEN. With a look of eeeviiil.

Stupid internet here at the hotel is crap again. Man. Bah. Wah. Boo. Ack, just realized that the week of Mar 8 I will not get to truly liveblog. It will be more like lateblog. But I will stay up all night if I have to in order to watch the epi and post!!!!

• Ah, good old Santa Rosa. Home of the crazy people. And yet, it still looks like Hawaii. Just like everywhere else he has been.
• Haha, Hurley thinks JL is dead. That's awesome.
• And he just drops that bit o' kernel on Hurley? I mean, get a segue, yeah?
• Haha, Hurley was all freaked at Abbadon.
• I like how they are explaining a lot, revisiting past moments in this episode. It's like "In case you forgot all the crap that has happened, let us remind you."
• Oh, I would lurrrrv to hear what Abbadon would say.
• OH YEAH!!!! Holy shit, I didn't remember that Abbadon did all those things - the orderly, the Walkabout, the plane.... again. Thank you, writers for reminding me. Because it sure is a lot of information.
• JL needs a lot more finesse. He is not smooth like Ben with the whole manipulation thing.
• Aw..... JL is sharing. Sharing is caring. tell KayKay about Helen, there.
• I'm really loving this epi.
• Oh, snap! Wait - was that an insult, or a compliment. I mean, he's not so much angry as he is obsessed.
• Yeah, Abbadon is lying. Clearly. Because John doesn't need to get to her. Apparently.
• Oh. Well. She dead. Poor woman. I guess they couldn't bring Katie Sagal back? Or, well, it makes it a bit more interesting that she's dead I guess.
• Paths. I think it's safe to say that fate plays a big role on LOST, right? ;-)
• OH SHIZZZZ!!!! Ben is killing Abbadon!!!!!!!!
• All that, and it is still not how JL dies.

Yay. Internet normal again. For now.

• Tell me he isn't paralyzed AGAIN.
• Aha. Jack. John just happened to be brought into his hospital. And Jack is the one who will least believe him. Yet, becomes the one who will most believe him.
• Geeze Jack - he is already on the drugs. Wait - how did JL figure out - oh haha, process of elimination, obviously.
• This weird shadowy scene.... it's just odd.
  
• And here's where, in the preview, you see Ben making John hang himself.
  
• I wonder if John just decides to do this suicide thing on his own. I wonder if he recorded anything on that tape recorder, and if so, what?
• And will we ever hear it? He must've. And I bet Ben has it.
  
• Ok, so it IS John's idea, clearly, to commit suicide. For the greater good, right? Weird.
  
• Can you really hang yourself with an extension cord?
  
• God, Terry O'Quinn, how I have missed you.
  
• Oy. Benjamin Liar. Well, sometimes he tells the truth. But just to tell another lie.
  
• Geeze, who the hell to believe? That is a question we won't soon find out.
  
• So, Ben is doing this as a form of reverse psychology...?
• Does Ben just kill him himself? He probably does.
  
• Ha! John might have promised, but Ben didn't. Ben can bring Sun back. Oy, but Ben is going to have John killed. Or just do it himself. Like right now.
  
• Hm. Why does that name ring a bell for - I KNEW IT!!!!
• WTF. I guess John wasn't supposed to kill himself? He had to die another way? Ben sure has a lot of blood on his hands.
  

So, Ben needed to know how to get back - that's why he wouldn't let John die. But as soon as he figured it out... well, then it was fair game. John go bye-bye.

Gosh, for a minute, the internet hated me again. Maybe I shouldn't be so angry at it. I should love the internet connection here, caress it with kind words... "O, lovely internet connection. Please do your best to ensure that this blog stays as live as possible and doesn't get mistakenly deleted because the page doesn't load. Thank you."

• Oh yeah, Ben... clean up that huge mess you made. And make it look like John did what he intended to do. Greater good, right?
• Nasty boy! Taking Jin's ring to convince Sun. Well, it worked, but still.
• God, Ben is crazy.
  
• So Caesar is looking at the Dharma files then, eh?
• Is John corp- well yeah, he's corporeal - he was eating that mango.
• Aha, so that's why the plane isn't with the others. They must've ended up in different times.
• Oh, did Ben get hurt? Is Ben one of the hurt?!?!?!?! He must be!!!!!
• LOVE IT!!!! "He's the man who killed me."

Wow... that preview... awesome!!! "Is three years long enough to get over someone?"

Well, I don't know if this episode was just OBVIOUS, but I feel like I was a bit of a smarty watching it, which of course makes me really love it :-) And any episode with a scene between Terry and Michael - well, genius doesn't cut it. It's so great to have Terry O back. It's really a great thing!

Can't wait until next week! I wonder if it's Char that has the sack on her head. Who else would it be?

Liveblog: "316"

Ahhhh! I'm a little behind. Watching at the sis' place...

• Previously: Everyone's all confused, pissed off... poor sun loses her hubby, or does he?
• Again?! Season 1! Jack, my love.... hehehe
• Is this a dream Jack is having? Is this him back on the island?It's a dream... or he's back..... which one?
• What the.... what was written... that's Hurley's voice... this has to be a dream.
• WTF, yeah right..... why does Hurley have a guitar? That looked like fun, jumping in like that.
• Jack looks so old now. What is Foxy doing to himself?
• Who's that.... oh. Kate? This is quite confusing. She looks pretty dead.
• But apparently she's not. They're BACK? Yeah, what DID happen?
• 46 Hours.... almost two days.... so that's real, then? "Oh my god, gnarly." was Jasmine's reaction.
• Uh.... Desmond's not leaving baby Charlie and Penny and going back, right? That would be STUPID.
• WHOA.
  
• That weird pendulum thing... what the?
  
• The Lamppost... I miss Lamppost pizza...

Well, that map thingy was kinda crazy. And Dharma was in LA? Hm.... I'm just stunned that we actually saw them BACK on the island. So soon! It's too much, too much. I don't know if we're used to all this information just being handed to us. How can it be?

Oh, and what is 316? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, but still...

• Liar. Ben knew about it. He's lying. I like how Eloise knows he's lying too. hehehe
• This is getting so sci-fi...
• GOING to be? yeah, good question, Jack.
• Eloise knows so much. And she's so presentational. It's like she's telling a bedtime story... she's so captivating... and chilling at the same time.
  
• Smart, Desmond. He's not on the whole island return trip.
• Des has every right to be pissed at Ellie. I hope he can stay with baby Charlie and Pen. Yeah! Desmond's DONE with the island!
• And Vengeance Sun is gone. She's so calm right now... what happened to all her anger and doubt?
• This is going too fast, too fast!
• Ajeera airways! That's the airline that was mentioned in an earlier episode.
  
• Oh... it's not all... for Jack?

Ok, really, I do feel like there is so much coming at us... Like, why is everyone just going along with what White Haired Mother Time Ellie is spitting at them? Sun is all calm, Jack is all faith, Ben is all quiet.... Only Desmond seems to be thinking straight. I will be disappointed if everything just plays out boringly...
I think riu.com is fake.... Oh, I could've sworn the riu commercial was a fakey.

• Oh my, she's telling Jack something.... oh, because Christian is his father! Oh, is that note from his ... oh, it's from Locke. WHAT.
• I can't believe Locke hung himself... is it hanged himself?
• John is a substitute for Christian!!!!!! That's cra-zay!!!
• Why does Eloise know all this stuff? HOW does she know all this stuff?
• I feel like this is not a very well-written episode... I hope I am not disappointed completely.
  
• And what IS with Ben's black hair? Why all of a sudden now?
• Jack is asking all the questions I have. Thank you... why is she helping, how does she know all this.
• Hmmm.... wonder what Ben's loose end could be....
• Drunk, high, Foxy/Jack is still sexy.
• Who is THIS guy????
  
• Old Man Ray... seriously... who the hell is this dude.
  
• His grandfather... That's weird.
  
• I'm sad Jate is not together anymore.
  
• Isn't his granddad a little too young?
  
• Fate. Christian's shoes! Hurrah!!! Jack can put them on Locke.
• Oh, it makes sense that this would be his mom's dad. Jack's mom is a MILF... well not for ME, but for dudes I'm sure.
  
• Who lurks in Jacks apartment? Hurley? Sayid? One of those.
  
• And... it's... uh..... Kate?
• Where's Aaron? Is she drunk? What the hell? WHAT THE HELL? What happened to Aaron, did she kill him or something?
• Oh, hot kissing, hot angry drunk kissing.

This whole "Don't ever ask me that question" thing is quite mysterious. Someone either took him, or she left him with someone. We better freakin' find out someday. I'm sure we will, but I mean, I hope it doesn't take all freakin' season to.

• Ah, the morning after.
  
• Oh yeah, Christian wears tennis shoes, doesn't he?
• Whoa.... Ben is ALL beat up! What the heck happened to him?
  
• Jill. Jack and Jill. Haha.
  
• Meat lockers are kinda scary. But this is sci-fi, not horror, remember?
• De coffin. To go on de plane, de plane.
• Weird.... what if the shoes don't fit? What if Locke has bigger feet than Christian? We shall see.... oh - good fit.
  
• That is SO weird. SO weird.
  
• I'm laughing my ass off that Jack's actually doing this. Hahahahahahaha.
• Wait, but what does the letter say? Read it, bitch! I want to know!!!

I can't believe he didn't read the letter! I want to know what it said!!!

• Aw, he's happy that Kate's at the airport....
  
• That guy is not mysterious AT ALL. Wishing John condolences... ha!
• And there is Sun. She's softened quite a bit. Whoa!!!
  
• Sayid is with the lady from New Amsterdam...
• Hugo bought all the seats. He's trying to recreate it, and save people. I wonder how Hurley and Sayid ended up there. I guess that's why Hurley has the guitar. Maybe dead Charlie told him to go back. I wonder how he got out of jail, too...
• Oh right, they said that they saw the guy injured before Hurley go there.
• Oh, and Sayid is with that escort because Kate was with that guy who had her in handcuffs.
• Obviously, Jack is supposed to read that letter, otherwise, it wouldn't have come back to him.
  
• I wonder if Sayid really is a fugitive, or if some crazy just decided to go along with it.
  
• This is NUTS! I can't believe they are all there! I wonder what's going to happen - the crash... crazy!!!!!
• At least they all get to fly first class... That's not much of a recreation.
• FRANK LAPIDIS! He's the captain! HOLY MOLY.
• Whoa he looks diff!
  
• And Frank realizes that they are all on the plane..... oh man. This is not good for Frank. "We're not going to Guam, are we."

• "My mother taught me." Ben is awesome.
  
• "You're the one who got to stay after school with Ms. Hawking." hahaha. Again. Ben. Awesome.
• Just realized that none of the other Lostees have been shown.
  
• John DOES need you to read it, Jack. I need you to read it.
• I still want to know who the hell kicked Ben's ass. It can't be as simple as him trying to get Sayid and Hurley to go...
• And he's reading the letter. That's all it said?!
• Uh. Oh....
• I like how Hurley puts on the sleep mask.
• Whoa.... this is weird......
  
• And they are back. We are back where we started.... Hurley can't swim? Why didn't I think of that before?
• How are none of them bleeding?
  
• Where IS the plane? Gosh, I"m just repeating it all....
  
• So, there was no crash? What the helllll.... they are not in current time....
• Who's shooting at them
  
• It's faraday... it's JIN!!!!!!!! Holy moly!!!

Ok, so it wasn't the best written episode, but it delivered some goods. And uh, the preview looks AWESOME!!!! John Lock is alive!!!! And Ben definitely knew he hung himself, and lied to Jack about it! Cra-zay!!!!

Man, ok. Well, hanging with the sis, so this is short. But wow, I'm satisfied. Thank you.

Live Blog: "This Place is Death"

FOREWORD:
So.... this is what I was able to eke out last night as I watched what appeared to be a pretty damn awesome episode. Please forgive me, for the cable went out here in Troy, OH, due to extremely high winds. Bah.

BEGIN LIVEBLOG...

Ohhhh man.... bad internet connection again tonight. Which means that this is going to be less of a live blog, and more of a whenever I can get connected blog.

So be it. I'm really blogging live, as usual, which means that I am typing as I am trying to watch and pay strict attention to the best show on television.

And here it goes:

• Previously, on Lost: Sun is icky, Ginger falls apart, Locke is on a mission, Rousseau finds Jin in the 80's
• And now, on lost, we see Ji Yeon on Sun's cell phone. Her Mom is calling so Little JiJi can say hello.
• It's really hard to liveblog and read subtitles, but I caught that she said "Anyang" which totally reminds me of Arrested Development.
• "Because he's not your son, Kate." Ben is so funny sometimes.
• And now Sun is all revenge-o on Ben. And everyone thinks Ben is lying, because how could Jin POSSIBLY be alive, and how could he actually prove it?
• Well, the alive part is certainly true. And here's where we get to see when Rousseau records her message.
• Oh look! She's prego! And Jin is totally speaking all English like. He knows how to ask what year it is.
• Ha! Subtitles. They are so foreshadowy. Helicopter, submarine...
• Jin's English is not quite broken enough. But poor DDK, it mus be hard to speak broken English when you speak perfect English.
• Some time, Jin is going to disappear from them, and things will get really weird.
• and now, they go to the radio tower. And ruh-roh... Dani's having baby pains, and they are arguing over whether Alex is a boy or girl.
• Nadine has disappeared.... which means, she may be an Early Other. Or maybe gets the crazy sickness that Danielle kept going on about in present day.
• Oh, Smoky's coming. Smoky the Monster. It would've been funny if Jin just said, "Smoky."

Sucky internet connection. Still can't upload during commercial break. Oh well. So far, so good. I want to know how Ben's going to get out of being annihilated by Vengeance Sun. I also wonder if the O6 will ever leave Slip 23 of the Long Beach marina. Something tells me it will not be in this episode that that will happen.

• Back on the island. The French want to find Nadine, and they won't listen to some Korean guy about it being a bad, bad idea. They will see her hanging in pieces from the trees. Or something.
• How about just dropped from the sky? That works too. Smoky bad. Jin smart.
• Lets see, Blondie's gonna get it too. Obviously.
• And they STILL follow him. Why?!?!?! Ripped in half? I wonder what's down there. Ripped. In. Half. Or, just his arm. That was GROSS.
• Listen to the Korean. He's smart. Dani has to have little Alex. She has to.
• Oh, Jin's going to travel now. Poor Jin. All alone.
• Well, clearly, time has passed, since the arm is all skeletal now. This is like Castaway for DDK. Where's his little Wilson?
• Amazing ow conscious Jin is without having had food or water for days. Maybe it's only been a day.
• This is not too far in the future because the French camp is still there. And dead, apparently.
• Gratuitous ab shot from DDK.
• So Dani is now crazy, or is Robert crazy?
• So, Robert is kinda whack.
• Good thing time travel happens fast for Jinny Jin Jin.
• Oy vey. At least it's just Sawyer. Awwww.... I want to cry. Jinnny and James together again.

• So Gin is outing Charlotte. And Charlotte is telling the truth.
• Ah, back in present present day. As much as I dislike Vengeance Sun, I like that Yunjin Kim gets to flex some chops.
• Well, this all worked out well, didn't it. That clock is tick tick ticking away. But I think that Ben isn't that worried about getting everyone back to kumbaya state again.
• See, Sun bought it. And I'm sure it will be worth it.
• Carh don't look so good. Danny Boy is a little surprised that she speaks Korean. He must be a little confused. Well, he's a lot confused. And Char's a lot icky.
• SHIT. Now Sawyer's bleeding?
• Ah, there's the title.

Spending my commercial break trying to get the internet working so I can post. Freakin' A. Not happenin'. Even though this is one long break. Eesh.

• Dude, Ben, you should know how traffic is in the LA area.
• Geeze, Ben is a moody bitch, eh?
• And now Char is not making any sense.
• Jeronimo Jackson. Hahaha.
• Well isn't Dan the little hero.
• Listen to Char, she knows what she's saying, somehow.
• So, Locke is the only one who hasn't fallen victim to the nosebleeds. Locke and Daniel.
• Locke found the well, I guess. What the heckers?
• How DID she know? We need to know why she has.... oh, is she telling him? Oh, this makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize this was going to happen now. Is her mom the Time Keeper? Oh, shit, they are bother and sister. Wait, are they?
• So, she was told she was going to die. OH SHIT. OH SHIT. Daniel told her?!?!

And again with the lame internet. Well, the winds ARE insane ---- NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cable went out!!!!
It is a sad, sad day for me. I cannot believe what a disappointment!

CONTINUED!!!!!!

Thank GOD for ABC.com!!!
• Hahah, subway. I love Sawyer.
• Again, Jin is the smart one. Ah, crimony... buffer...
• He doesn't want Sun to come back, but Locke is lying when he makes that promise.
• What a hero, that Jin... awwww.....
• Are you telling me that John Locke leaves for three years? Is it three years on the island? I bet they don't figure this out quite yet.
• He's gonna get some nasty rope burn, that John Locke...
• Uh oh is right... He's going to time travel on the rope?!?!?!
• HOLY MOFO!!!!! There's NOTHING there!!!!! How did I not see THAT coming?
• Oh CharChar, stay alive. Long enough for us to know what's going on at least.
• Ok, she's a little bit loopy. Oh shizzy. Is this the END?
• Aaaaaannnnd..... scene.

• What did he break?! OH SHIT!!!! His bone is sticking OUT!!!! This episode is sick. Bones bones everywhere!!!
• Who is THAT?!
• WHAT?!?!?! Christian Shepard!!!!! Fuckin' A!!!!! This episode rocks my fucking socks.
• Oh, snap. Chrissy is right. When DID listening to Ben get anyone anywhere?
• Eloise Hawking.... Not White Haired Time Keeper.
• Christian scary. John brave.
• Ha. Little push. Ha. Like, ALL. YOUR. MIGHT.
• He can't help John because he's not corporeal.
• Crazy green light. Does that mean GO?
• Push. Not Pull!!!!
• John doesn't know that Jack is his son!!!! Fucking NUTS!
• Present present day. Canton-Ranier... that's an anagram for something, but I forgot what.
• Go, Sun. Even if Jin didn't want you to... Atta girl.
• OH! Desmond! Fuckin' A. This just keeps getting better!!!
• Ben didn't know she was Faraday's mum... Interesting.
• They made it seem like it wansn't going to be White Hair.
• Desmond is surprised.
• Started with WHAT?!

MAN!!!!

This was an AWESOME episode! Lots of revelations, and of course, even more questions. That's what we want. Not some predictable schmaltz like last week. I am too inebriated to really comment any more about it other than I loved it.

"The Little Prince" Live Blog!!!

Hello, kittens!

Just finishing up the repeat broadcast of last week's superfantastic episode, "Jughead." It's right near the end, and Char is about to keel over and... die? Chances are, not. Who knows if we'll find out tonight, but I know she won't, based on her interview on Watch With Kristin.

Oh!!! Starting! Yay!!!

• Previously on Lost... Lemme guess - this episode will involve Aaron somehow. Either way, it better make me happy :-) I think it will. Jack's in it.
• Desny? No... Jack, and Kate. It must be when they were rescued. OH, they're deciding what to do about Aaron... Nice.
• Awww... "Sawyer's not dead." "I know, but he's gone."
• Thus the big lie begins.
• "I have always been with you." Uh, not anymore...
• So Kate and Sun share clothing sizes. Huh. Is Kate sure she wants to do what?
• OH FUCK. Sun is going to give Aaron to Widmore. She's a little bitch.
  
• What's the file say??? Huh. Sun's going hunting for Ben, is she.
  
• How is it that I'm on Ben's side, not Sun's? Oh, because Ben is just too freakin' awesome is why. (Thank you, Michael Emerson. Thank you.)

• Ah, so we do see Char.
• I didn't know that Juliet calls Sawyer, "James."
  
• Yes, Dan knew it would happen. But WHY is it happening? He's lying. He has to know why it isn't happening to anyone else.
  
• Oh, this is the scene that had a preview on WWK. This guy used to be the dad on "My So Called Life" I think.
  
• Exchange of custody. That sucks. Ew. "You did this to yourself." Ass.
  
• Ok, so my blog is not very articulate today. (Is it ever?) John is very much focused on leaving the island. He's determined to do it. This is another scene that was on WWK.
• Damn, Locke. Play to Sawyer's emotions by asking if he wants Kate to come back. John Locke really is the new Ben Linus.
• She looks crap, that Charlotte. And Miles just makes an appearance.
  
• We're off to see the Orchid...
• Sayid is right. The only side Ben is on IS his own.
  
• I don't like this plastic-surgery-face woman.
• Ooooh, here's where Sayid kicks some SERIOUS ass. Love it.
  
• Wait, what did the note say. Oh right. Kate's address. Fuck. Wait, she did not hire that guy... or the other guys to kill Sayid... what?

• And... the last preview scene from WWK.
  
• It seems to good to be true that they would all be in LA at the same time. BUT we all know that it will not be this easy to get them together and back to the island. Especially since Aaron will be gone.
• "Save the dirty linen for later." Interesting, Ben.
• Long Beach marina, slip 23. 23 is one of the numbers, right?
• Yeah, Miles. What the hell IS that. Oh, wait, is that when Des turned on the light in the Swan? That has to be.
• Holy fuck. That's how Sawyer sees Kate in the jungle. Chills!!!! Chills!!!
• Great, now Miles is bleeding.
  
• And that's Claire screaming.
• WHOA. WEIRD!!!! Claire is having her baby, and Sawyer sees it. Oh my god. Tear.
• And, uh, yeah, it would NOT have been that easy.
  
• Oh no! Just as he saw his lady love, flash! Gone!

I know that the commercials showed Sawyer telling someone he saw Kate in the jungle, so I wonder how that comes to be. So far, I am feeling like this is a lot of filler. No reveals so far. Let's hope there's a good payoff later on in the episode :-)
Speaking of commercials, looks like Michael (Harold Perrineau) is on a new show.

• And so they meet. Jack and Kate. Oh, THIS was the preview scene. Never mind.
  
• Jack looks pretty haggard. I bet they didn't have to do any makeup to make Foxy look that way. He's getting on in age. But still looks good... ?
• James is a smart one. He knew it was from the hatch. And now he's sharing so that James will share.
  
• "I needed that pain to get to where I am now." Well said, John Locke. Well said.
• Dude, Danny Boy is lying. Or maybe not. Maybe Miles and Char HAVE been on the island a while before.
  
• Oh shit. Canoes? Pontoons? What are those called.
  
• "Who came in these? Other Others?" Haha, love Sawyer.
• Row, row, row your boat...
• I wonder how tired they must be. No food. Hardly any water. Time traveling.
  
• Ah, he shared with Juliet. Sawyeret is ON!
• Yeah, like paddling is going to help them escape those arrows or whatever. I guess they are gun shots.
• GEEZE, these poor people never get a break! I don't see how any of them are still solid, but then again I am not necessarily an expert in the subject of time travel.
• So... how the hell does Claire's mum know that Aaron is not Kate's, and is indeed Claire's? Is Claire alive? Has she come back to visit Mum?

So, that wasn't the biggest reveal in the world, now was it. I mean, it's puzzling for sure, but not as gratifying as learning that Desny's son is called Charlie, and that Charles Widmore was on the island as part of Richard Alpert's camp back in the 50's. So when Charles says it's his island, it kinda really is. Unless of course, there is a a Battle Royale between Charles and the White Haired Lady. Because they were part of the same camp. Well, according to something I saw that implied that the young blondie from the 50's is indeed the White Haired Lady, whose name I can NEVER remember.

• It never rains that much in LA. Never. Promise.
• Jack, don't try to fix it, just try to get them all together. Besides, we all know that that was a diversion to get Aaron in the hands of Sun, who in turn will get him in the hands of Widmore.
• That's what we're about to learn right now.
  
• See, she has no idea what he's talking about. Claire's mum that is. She's probably suing Oceanic.
• And now Kate will realize that Sun is playing her. Or not.
• Hm. So this guy has ties with Ben, too. Who the hell does he work for?
  
• Ben? No way. Wait, that was TOO obvious, right? To think that Ben hired him just to get Kate and Aaron back? He must need Aaron's blood for something.
• Share, James. Share with Juliet. Bond. Get all lovey and stuff. People need action on this island besides jumping time. Right?
• Oh crap. Now Juliet's nose is bleeding.
  
• Are they when Desmond landed on the island? Or when Rousseau landed!!! Sixteen years ago!!! Crazy!
• Who is in the water? What? A plant? Will he kill them?
  
• WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Jin?!?!?!?!

Ok, so, mean to tell me that Jin has been time traveling, unconscious in the ocean this whole time? That's nuts. But man, am I glad he's alive. But it's pretty far-fetched, I have to say.

• At the marina now. Stopped raining. All is calm.
  
• I love how everyone just LIES to each other on this show.
• Safe from WHOM, Kate. WHOM.
• Oooohhh... Sun's got her eye on you...
• Awww... and Jin's waking up, somewhere in time. He just barely learned English, and now he has to deal with French people? And Danielle Rousseau is there to save him. A young Rousseau.
• Duh, that's Rousseau's sweater. Lasted 16 years, eh. Long time.
• That was not a surprise at all. Well, to Jin it is. But not to me. Come onnnnn....

Ok, there were some fakeouts, and some disappointing reveals here. I suppose it was to be expected that there would be a meh episode. But, so soon? And with so few episodes over which to spread the story, I thought we were supposed to get quality all the time! I am disappointed. Bad Darlton, bad.

Episode 4 Sneaky Peeks! "The Little Prince"

From Watch With Kristin, here are four sneaks of this week's episode!!! Eeeee!!! DAMN Sayid!

"Jughead" Live Blog!!!

East Coast time again, suckas! Just a few more minutes until the show begins, and I'm super psyched!

Right now, I'm watching the tail end of "The Lie," in which the amazing Ben Linus confronts Mother Time, aka Eloise Hawkings. (Have I said how much I LOVE Michael Emerson?)

And so, it begins!!!!!

▪ Previously, on Lost: It was fucking amazing!
▪ They are speaking Tagalog!?
▪ Ooooh, Penny's having a baby, and they're using forceps.... OUCH!!!!
▪ That shit has GOT to hurt... Oh god, why the fuck are you looking there Des? That's gotta scar you for life, brotha!
▪ What a cute little kid. I bet he dies.
▪ Penny knows the strength of her own evil father. I bet that's how baby Desny dies.
▪ So... my internet connection is suck-ass... This is not so much a 'live' blog, as a 'severely delayed' blog... :-/
▪ Yes, Daniel, why DO you look so worried?
▪ MILES!!!! That's the Asian dude's name! How did I forget that?!
▪ Booby trap!
▪ Stupid extras.
▪ What's with the arrows? Totally primitive.
▪ And Blondie? "Who's in chahj hee?"

▪ I kinda hate having to sit through the commercials. But it's a small sacrifice to be able to see this.

Ooooh, is this a little lover's quarrel?
▪ Pen, just trust your dude. I mean, come on. After all the crazy shit you've both been through, you should believe him, yeah?
▪ Yeah, nothing like pulling dead bodies from a small pond.
▪ THEY put the land mines there?
▪ Seriously, who is this bitch. I'm kinda tired of bitches with a major chip on their shoulder.
▪ You said it Locke.
▪ Yeah, what? What the hell language was that? Russian? OH Latin. I should have fuckin' known it.
▪ Others. They don't look like any Others I've seen before.
▪ Oh, that one had his hand cut off. What did HE do?
▪ Miles sees dead people again.
▪ Uh, is this like Old Otherton?
▪ Haha... Daniel Faraday, their leader... HAHAHA.
▪ What's this bomb shit they keep mentioning. This must be in the 60s.

And Des is at Oxford.
▪ Damn, what's with the missing Faradays? Are they even real?
▪ The year was '91, wasn't it? Or '96?
▪ Hmmm.... how will Des find Dan? Or rather, Dan's mum? Secret passage, is what I say.
▪ Or, the door that says do not enter. That works too. I wonder what happened that they must now not speak of the Faraday name...
Wow, what a mullet, Dan.
▪ The mouse maze!
▪ Girl? Huh... OMG, did he fuck Charlotte up?!
Wait, Dan just said to pretend like they're with the army, but he says that they're scientists?
▪ OH, not cut off - radiation burns on his hands...
▪ WHOA. Dan's not lying either. He really loves Char. Dayyyyum.
▪ Wait a minute... do I know this guy? Is that Matt what's his name? OMG... he was in a show with me.... right? Or maybe not. There are a lot of blond white guys who - no, that's him. WTF. SO JEALOUS!!!!
▪ Ok, I totally missed all those subtitles because I was so pissed that some dude I did a show with was on Lost... fucker.

Hmmmm... so who's Teresa Spencer.... well, that's gotta be the girl. Uh. Does that lady think Des is Daniel?
▪ Oh no. Poor Teresa. She has no Constant.
▪ WHOA. Widmore was Daniel's benefactor... and has paid for Teresa's care? So... is Danny Boy evil too?
▪ Uh... awkward for Miles to be the third wheel, eh?
▪ I still don't understand how Richard STILL answers to someone, yet he's been around the longest, or so it would seem.
▪ Oh, Jonesy, you severely underestimate John Locke.
▪ I love how Locke and Juliet are asking the same question I just was.
▪ John: "How old is he?" Juliet: "Old."
▪ She looks like Teresa. A LOT like Teresa.
▪ Well, isn't Blondie a smart one. But I still don't like that major chip on her shoulder.
▪ WOW. That's one big fucking bomb.

▪ Meet Jughead, ladies and gents.
▪ Hmm... crack in bomb no good?
▪ I want to love Dan Faraday, but I also don't really trust him.
▪ Ok, so this is the 50's.
▪ Show her something with the date on it, then Daniel!
▪ "You told her?" Nice, Sawyer. Nice.
▪ Fuck, Des. Just go ahead and let Widmore know you're alive and well and all that fun stuff.
So, she IS Mother Time! I knew. I knew.
▪ Well, Widmore seems to be making some sense, and seems to have some kind of... shall I say... heart?
▪ Dude, Richard doesn't know you. Or does he. No, he doesn't. But he knows Jacob.
▪ FUCK! That's Widmore! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! Charles Fucking Widmore!!!
▪ Oh my fucking god, that was the best reveal!

▪ Pesmond? Penmond?
▪ LIAR!!!! LIAR!!! And she called him on it. Good one, Pen.
▪ AWWWWW, he named the baby Charlie!!!! OH, teary.
▪ God, she loves him. Beautiful.
▪ And I wonder who the leader is right now.
▪ Yes! 1954!
▪ Tustin, CA! Holla!
▪ So, they go through THREE YEARS of this time-jumping stuff?! Charlotte is so gonna die.
▪ And that might be right now....
▪ OH!

Not entirely action-packed, but definitely info-packed! I loved this episode. The love between Desmond and Penny is... ahhhhh... And that their baby's name is Charlie.... awwww! And, again, the Charles Widmore was on the island in the 50's reveal was so fulfilling!

Ok, so Jack didn't make it into this one, but that's ok. Daniel's nerdy charm and Desmond's devotion were in full force. Not much more to say on that one.

Until next week, kiddies!

Episode 3 Sneaky Peeks!

'K, kids! Here's a look at this Wednesday's episode, "Jughead." Courtesy "Watch With Kristin" on E!online.

LIVE BLOG!!!! Part 2 - "Because You Left"

Holy effin' SHIT!!!!!
The time. Has come!

Top to bottom chrono order... live blog begins:

• OMG. The previously on Lost bits always get my spine tingly.
• Of course, 8:14.... hahaha... who is this? Faraday? WHEN is this? Oh, is this the guy who can see dead people? I already forgot his name. The baby, I mean. (Yes, I'm typing while watching TV. Literally, not looking at the keys.)
• Well of course it's the island. Is this the future? OH!!!! It's 'Marvin Candle! Duh, I should have KNOWN!
• I want to cry with excitement, I can't even TELL YOU....
• The Frozen Donkey Wheel!
• Well, it WILL, Fatso!
• FARADAY!!!!!!! Holy shit, it's Faraday. I knew he had something to do with the opening scene! So.... is that where/when they went when the island disappeared?!
• Aw, but Scraggly Jack was so disturbingly handsome...
• And how long ago was that? And how did Locke get off the island and become Jeremy Bentham?
• Yeah, what DID he say?
  
• Yeah, Ben, what DID happen to them? Liar!!! You know!
• Donkey Wheel!
• Hey, it's Frogurt!
  
• Rose and Bernard... there is no camp!
• Clearly they went back in time, and it's before Dharma even got there.
• They literally have no time.

• My, what a nice house you have, Kate.
• Heck yeah, you can explain right there, assholes.
• Oh, Kate has to start running again. Deja vu. Life off the island. Not better AT ALL.
• Uh huh. She, huh Sawyer.
• AHA. Like the skipping record in the opening sequence.
• O, what adventure awaits the mighty John Locke... the monster? No. A plane. THE plane? The drug plane? Or Adam and Eve's plane?
  
• The drug plane. Do you get it now, Locke? I wonder if the 'priests' are still alive at the time of the crash.
• Locke must be in a different time.
• Ok, that answers my question about whether or not they are still alive. Does the island still heal you Locke?
• OH, nope. 'Twas Ethan that shot the gun. THIS is certainly interesting.

• Security? Nope. Widmore.
• Oh, Suit Jack is just a wee bit more dashing.
• No Hurley, IIIII need a cool code name.
• Oh, I saw this scene the other night. Action sequence with Sayid and Hurley! Sayid the Badass.
• I'm pretty sure Sayid always has those knives sticking straight up like that in his dishwasher.
• Oops, gotta watch out for those camera phones Hurley.

• Loving the short-ass commercial breaks!
• I like that street analogy. And the whatever happened, happened thing. Oh, Daniel!
• Locke can stope it. That's who can.
• Tournequite. Nice, Locke. But who has the torch??? Alpert? Yes, Alpert.
• I have a feeling this is really really really going to hurt. Huh. He said, "What COMES around GOES around." Instead of the other way.
  
• Uuuuggggghhhh.....
• (Now I see why people live blog bottom to top.)
• "You're gonna have to die, John." Flash.
• MONSTER!!!! Or..... not.

• Those flashes must be like the worst migraines ever.
• Um, and kudos to Josh Holloway for doing this whole episode SHIRTLESS!
• Awwww.... Sawyer just brought a tear to my eye... "I know what I can't change." He thinks Kate is dead.
• Why can't I remembers that guy's name?
• Oh, Ginger needs a Constant. Or something.
• Faraday's mom is the freaky white haired lady!!!
• Clearly, the producers are trying to please the female audience by ensuring that 50% of the lead males appear shirtless in this episode.

• The skulls on the beer bottles. They're something. We've seen several skulls this episode. What do they mean...
  
• Hmmm... Penny knows her dad is evil...
• Hurley, Hurley, Hurley. Sayid is right. There is no better choice, you have to lie.
• Well we all know THAT'S a lie, given that you just helped Sayid run and kill people. And now who's driving the getaway car? YOU, Hurley. And Ben's going to get you, and you're going to cave.
• In fact, that's Ben now, in the cop car. Or NOT. It's a chick. OH FUCK!
• OH FUCK!!! Ana Lucia! OH FUCK! How is she - how is she there? Oh, he sees dead people. Right.
• LIBBY SAYS HI. Chills!!!!!!!!!!

• Aw, he finally put a shirt on. And right, like Frogurt's shirt would fit Sawyer.
• Mr. Wizard! I used to love that show!
• This is not going to go well.
  
• Stop acting so nervous, Hugo.
• Uh huh. And Kate arrives. Right after they leave. I wonder if that girl will recognize her too. She's going to call Jack. Yup. Then not.
• It's Ben... or Sawyer's babymama. Or Ben. Oh Duh, it's Sun, Clarissa!
• "Are you looking for your pills?"
• And then my internet quit. Bastard!

• Haha, Cheech is funny.
• Who be calling.... cops! cops! Ha! Cops my ASS!!!! That's the scary guy that's on Fringe now.
• They need Jack. They need JAAAACK!
• If they don't freakin' all reunite by the end of this episode... oy.
• Sun has the penthouse, eh? Nice. But she has other plans.
• This lady looks/sounds familiar. She's part of the plan somehow. Jill, Gabriel, Jeffrey. Hmmmm.... Was Jill an Other? I wish I could come up with more answers than questions....
• I don't like Frogurt. Do as Rose says, Neil.
• So here's another question - what happened to the monster?
• Charlotte's dying. Why, only Daniel knows.
• Boar. Lovely. Frogurt is gnarly.
• OH SHIZZZ!
  

• I am LOVE, LOVE, LOVING this!!!
• Who the hell? What the hell? And thank god, shoulda known Frogurt would die, he was so annoying.
• May this be the season of Sawyeret. Juler?
• I woulda said, "He's not Pakistani, ma."
• Sun has business. The business of killing Ben.
• So, why didn't she show a more recent picture of Ji Yeon?
• Aw, shoulda caught the law firm's name.
  
• Wow, Sun is crazytalk now.
  
• Not so crazy, but tear-jerking, yes. Oh no. Uh, bad question, Sun.
• It's all falling into place. They better freakin' reunite by the end of the episode!!!

• Aw, shit, Hugo. You're telling the truth? She has the place bugged! She's going to think you're crazy at the least.
• Least favorite scene, when H tells the truth. Especially because Mom says she believes him. I guess that's the least predictable reaction.
  
• Who be in the jungle? They must be Dharma people. Or the Firsts...?

• I bet a screen cap of all those meds would give us something. As would the numbers on the machine.
  
• Does Jack even have his med license anymore? No. He doesn't. I'm sure.
  
• Dude, H's mom totally ratted him out.
  
• BEST reaction ever! Throwing a Hot Pocket! LOL :-)
• I knew it. Hurley will get arrested. What the hell... Oh, they work for Ben, prlbably. Hahaha. Or not.
• OH, these are Charlotte's people. This is how she was here before.
• Who helped them????? LOCKE. Duh... God, I"m stupid. And I woulda really been bummed if they cut Juliet's hand off.
• Yes! Weird white-haired lady is Dan's mom! That musta been who was with him at the beginning of his story. The one we didn't see.
  
• I like that crazy pendulum thing.
  
• Wa. That's not Oxford. She must be Mother Time.
  
• NOOOO!!! It can NOT be over!!! Sad girl now.
  

Oh.... man.... well, of course they didn't all come together. But damn it if it takes all freakin' season.

Wow... that preview was... exhilarating. Well, kids. If you're reading this, you get it. You GET it. Why this show is just so riveting, so wonderfully exciting! The premiere certainly did not fail to deliver. Though I can see how some naysayers, or those on the fence would say it was a lot of nothing. They are completely wrong, though. It was a whole lot of everything. All our faves. Answers to so many questions. Ben actually speaking the truth. We know what is happening to the island. We know that if they don't, everyone will be affected.

I'm not a big theorist. I like the suspense. But I suspect that somehow, Alpert is one of those that time travels separately. Since he's been the same age forever... I still think Whitehair is Danny's mum. But what? Or at least the mum is the one who he was with when he was all depresso at the beginning of his story.

Big questions:

1. What's happening to Charlotte?
2. How does Dan end up infiltrating the Dharma Initiative?
3. How does Locke get off the island?
4. Why is Alpert never-aging?
5. How will all 6 get back together? (Plus John, of course.)
6. Who is Whitehair?
7. Why only 70 hours?

Oy. And with that, I put this to rest for now. I will probably rewatch, or gain some clarity after tonight. But that is it for now, my friends!
