"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!

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!

LIVE BLOG! Part 1 - Lost: Destiny Calls

That's right, ladies and gents, I am LIVE BLOGGING the premiere of Lost tonight! East Coast STYLE!!!! (BTW, in chrono order, top to bottom.)

  • Right? Who wouldn't want to be stuck on an island with Matthew Fox and reinvent themselves? Hello!
  • I think ANY NeverLost should watch this!
  • I think "Jumbotron" is the best Hurley insult that Sawyer has spouted so far.

  • Haha... "It's Work MAN, you idiot!!!"
  • I like that Darlton use dictionary words.
