LOST is Zooming Ahead!

I have been non-stop busy since watching the last LOST episode. This is the first moment I've had to sit down and type up my thoughts and notes.

.

Let's dive in.

.

1) The gal who was a protector of Jacob...her name is Ilana. I am typing that first because I keep forgetting it. She wasn't even in this episode. But I want to be sure that I have her name handy next time I need it.

.

2) Jack has a SON! Yowser! His name is David and he is a genius at playing the piano. Why is it that Hurley is having the best luck ever and Jack still seems to be floundering in his life. Haha. I think it has something to do with what Jacob said...Some people can be told what to do and others have to sit and look at the ocean for a while. Jack just doesn't seem capable of taking an easy path. He always has to have some sort of angst going...much of it self-inflicted.

.

3) Hubby thinks that Christian, in all time lines, was never on the plane. He questions whether or not the man was even ever really dead. He is racking his brain trying to remember if Jack saw his father's body in the coffin in the first season or if it was just assumed that Christian was in the coffin. Hubby is also thinking of lots of possibilities for if Christian really did die in Australia what might have happened to his body. I have not a clue and am currently too tired to speculate. But if you have a theory I would love to hear it. :)

.

4) Claire is CRAZY! Whether she is infected or not, she has definitely been "claimed" by the BSM. I wasn't sure if the BSM was really bad. Some have speculated that it was Jacob who was the baddie on the Island, but I think the BSM lying to Claire about the location of her son and setting her up in such a bad place proves that BSM is the baddie.

.

When Claire killed the Other (the one I had wanted to live because he seemed honest and nice), I knew it was coming. I closed my eyes and turned the volume way down, I would have muted it but Hubby didn't want to miss any dialogue. I didn't either, but was willing to sacrifice a small amount of dialogue for not hearing the sounds of the axe landing. YUCK! That was just wrong Claire. And did everyone get a good look at her replacement baby? That thing was Freaky!

.

I am concerned about Jin's safety. I'm glad that he told Claire that he lied about Kate. In Claire's current state of mind I think she would not only have killed Kate, but anyone else who had been involved in Aaron's leaving the Island.

.

And speaking of Aaron leaving the Island, what is with Claire acting like Aaron was stolen right out from under her nose. The girl walked away from her son. She just left. What were the other castaways supposed to do? Let Aaron lie there in the jungle until the BSM or Polar Bears got him?

.

5) I thought it was great that Hurley wrote Jacob's instructions on his forearm. The LOST writers have done a great job keeping their characters true to the character they first gave them. I loved when Hurley was confronted by the "Samurai" and awkwardly told him that he was a candidate and so could go wherever he wanted. Hilarious! And then the Samurai walking away muttering...the Lost writers have such a fun sense of humor.

.

6) I am thoroughly enjoying the Jacob character. I love the smirk he got when Hurley asked if he had any ideas about how to get Jack to follow him. That was GREAT! I also enjoyed Jacob revealing to Hurley a bit about how he operates. As Jacob explained, I thought How like life! Sometimes we can be told which direction we ought to take but other times we have to find our path a different way.

.

7) There were a few set-ups for later episodes:

.

Shannon's inhaler by the caves. I read that she is coming back at some point this season. I don't know which timeline, but since we've already seen Boone and Charlie in Sideways, I figure that she will show up there too. BTW Sideways, I've learned, is the title for the timeline in which the bomb worked and no one goes to the Island.

.

The identity of David's Mom, Jack's ex. Now that will be a fun reveal...if the Lost writers deem it relevant to the story.

.

And Jacob's plan for everyone else. That lighthouse was Fantastic! Beautiful build, beautiful stones. Hubby and I would have liked to see what the other numbers showed. If we could see Hurley's house or Sayid's. But of course, Jack being Jack, smashed everything before any other secrets could be revealed. That man drives me crazy sometimes! He tried so hard to not be affected that he acts stupidly and impulsively much, much too often.

.

Well, that's all I'm going to write tonight. I am exhausted. I know there is lots more that I didn't mention. Sorry. But if you want to write me about it, I'd love to read it. You all know how much I love the theorize about Lost...just not tonight. ;)

Good Night!! Sweet Dreams!!!
