Please. Pleeeeeeease.... just kidding. Kind of. Always happy to discuss the greatest thing of all time though.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-8422729594812622412011-03-19T10:30:00.001-07:002011-03-19T10:34:23.899-07:00Final Encyclopedia postFinished the book, here were a few final notes...<br /><br />Tunisia: confirms Dharma used a polar bear to turn the dinkey wheel and it was warped to Tunisia.<br /><br />Walt Lloyd: One of the rare humans "attuned" to the island. (of course, but didn't have much for this last post...)<br /><br />Yemi: Eko's final vision of Yemi was actually the Smoke Monster (another obvious one, but a confirmation, and like I said, not alot left to report).<br /><br />Ok, so that's the book... nothing else left.<br /><br />I probably won't write anything else here until I start the first, of what I hope to be many, re-watches. I'll go over questions that I still have after viewing the entire series. There really aren't THAT many.<br /><br />See ya.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-88993038342504169252011-03-19T01:02:00.000-07:002011-03-19T01:03:34.809-07:00More stuffThe Staff: The last birth on the island was Ethan Rom in 1977<br /><br />Stuart Radzinsky: the book makes it sound like he assigned himself and Inman to the Swan, but this timing doesn’t make any sense, since we Inman in Iraq with Sayid… hmmm… anyway… also makes reference to the blast door map being Stu’s “war map” against the Others.<br /><br />Sun-Hwa Kwon: Candidate #42, never says if it’s Jin or Sun, officially.<br />The Swan: similar notes about Stu’s blast door map and the hieroglyphs were intended to mean “to die” but there is no official translation.<br /><br />Taweret: Was built by ancient Egyptians, and was destroyed in 1867.<br /><br />The Temple: Some translations from the hieroglyphs: the north door, “hail, thou beautiful power, thou beautiful rudder of the northern heaven. The east door, “hail, splendor, dweller, in the temple of the ashemu gods, beautiful rudder of the eastern heaven. The west door, “hail, thou who cirlest, guide of the two lands, beautiful rudder of the western heaven”.<br /><br />Tom Friendly: Candidate # 109. Tom shot and killed Felix, the man who had proof of the successful operation of faking flight 815’s discovery, (the guy Naomi had Miles “read”).Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-91789959231324851962011-03-15T22:03:00.000-07:002011-03-15T22:12:14.412-07:00More Book stuffShannon Rutherford:<br /><br />- Candidate #31.<br /><br />- Also said it was never confirmed whether her visions of Walt were really warnings from Walt or some Smoke Monster trick. (items like this bug me, cuz they make the rest of the book seem flawed... Walt wasn't dead, so how coudl Smokey show up as him?)<br /><br />The Sickness:<br /><br />- One of the sicknesses was caused by the Smoke Monster. He needed a wound or entry point to enter the body and darken their spirit.<br /><br />- Smoke Monster actually killed Montand and then posed as him to lure the other French team members down into the hole. <br /><br />- Dogen never had complete knowledge of the Sickness (like us!!!)<br /><br />- Before the Incident in 1977 pregnant women could safely give birth.<br /><br />- Kelvin Inman was aware of the Purge.<br /><br />The Smoke Monster:<br /><br />- The Man in Black's "spirit became fused with the all-powerful force that lay hidden inside the heart's island".<br /><br />38 pages left...Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-79267746366793080502011-03-10T08:36:00.000-08:002011-03-10T08:37:30.910-08:00Quick one...In Sawyer's section it mentions that he and Kate had a tight bond that grew into a great friendship even after they made it off the island. So that's nice.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-40560414519610825802011-03-06T20:37:00.000-08:002011-03-06T20:43:02.772-08:00More book stuff...Almost done...<br /><br />Magnus Hanso: Jacob was the person who commissioned the expedition. Hanso told his first mate as much. So he brought that boat to the island.<br /><br />Man in Black: He could appear at two places at once (Isabella/Richard scene).<br /><br />Medusa Spider: The Man in Black appeared as the Medusa spider and but Nikki in that form.<br /><br />Mother: She killed the Man in Black’s campmates at night. It does not make any mention of her being a “smoke monster”.<br /><br />Nadine: The team crashed in 1988.<br /><br />Nikki and Paulo: Confirmed above. A REAL medusa spider bit Paulo, but it was the Smoke Monster that got Nikki.<br /><br />Oceanic Flight 815:<br />- Survivors: Janelle Granger kept a diary (this was online I believe, I didn’t know this was her name though)<br />- Emma: Along with Rose, Bernard, Zach and Cindy, she joined Hurley.<br /><br />The Others: Richard was impervious to the smoke monster’s attacks.<br /><br />The Pearl: SR (written on the journal notepads) was Subject Radzinksy, and SI was Subject Inman. The mark in the ground above the hatch was a circle and not a question mark. The ? on the blast door map just meant Radzinsky didn’t know who was in there.<br /><br />Penelopes Widmore Hume: Desmond made it off the island back to her and Charlie.<br /><br />Pierre Chang: killed during the Purge.<br /><br />The Purge: Radzinksy survived the Purge because he was stationed in the Swan hatch, he somehow figured out what happened with the gas, and subsequently labeled the Arrow and The Swan as Quarantined.<br /><br />Ryan Price: Candidate #14Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-62727198364037042572011-01-22T09:09:00.000-08:002011-01-22T09:10:43.165-08:00More book stuff...I think I totally missed the point of the finale... "Let go, move on"... cuz I've done neither of those. TV sucks now. You realize Lost would have started season 7 by now right? Ya know if there was a season 7...<br /><br />Anyway, here's some more stuff I found interesting from the book:<br /><br />Kate Austen:<br />- Candidate #51<br />- Says 1977 as her birthdate, but a picture of her passport says 1979.<br /><br />The Lamp Post:<br />- The first station built by the DI.<br />- Only off island station.<br />- Built it around an electromagnetic pocket in LA.<br />- After Hawking left the island to give birth to Daniel, she took over the Lamp Post (doesn’t say how), and she kept it from Widmore because they weren’t on good terms anymore.<br /><br />Lighthouse:<br />- Just some numbers I thought were interesting:<br />- 14 Pryce<br />- 20 Rousseau<br />- 101 Faraday<br />- 102 Montand<br />- 104 Lewis<br />- There were just a few from a couple of screenshots.<br /><br />John Locke:<br />- Locke and Walt were both special and “attuned” to the island<br />- Locke DID see the smoke monster early in season 1 (don’t remember the exact episode, but it’s when they went on the boar hunt and Michael got hurt, right?). He thought the smoke monster’s flashes to pull his memories were beautiful.<br /><br />Looms:<br />- Jacob was the one who left a piece of his tapestry in the cabin so Ilana and crew could find him.<br />- Some quotes translated from the tapestrys: “May the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires” and “…and may the gods grant thee happiness” both from the Odyssey by Homer. “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, by Unkown. Also, on the red tapestry, three from the Iliad by Homer: “Now by evil war thy heart’s desire”, “And the earth flowed with blood”, and “And trhe black cloud of death enfolded him”.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-42931307901934459642010-12-05T21:07:00.000-08:002010-12-05T21:14:20.735-08:00More book stuffJacob -<br /><br />Mentions that Pickett was wrong about Jacob's list. He was wrong abotu a lot of things.<br /><br />One part of Jacob's tapestry was a quote from "The Odyssey": "And may the Gods grant thee happiness"<br /><br />When we first saw the Cabin, Jacob was no longer using it.The Man in Black put on the display for ben and Locke and made it so Locke could only hear him say "Help Me"<br /><br />Jin-Soo Kwon -<br /><br />Listed as Candidate #42 (but so was Sun... so....)<br /><br />They do have a paragraph on Ji Yeon. Seemed like folks thought it was passed over. Probably deserved more, but she is represented.<br /><br />Juliet Burke -<br /><br />Listed as Candidate # 58<br /><br />She was branded with the fleur-de-lis or lily flower. In France during the 17th century, criminals earned this brand for treasonous acts.

Hawking gave him the surname Faraday whose "path" she wanted him to follow closely. It also mentions that Daniel did a ton of research on the Dharma Initiative... doesn't say why though (convenient answer to a question that always bugged me... why'd he know so much about DI even before he went to the island... unless he conscious skipped... and ... nevermind)<br /><br />Danielle Rouseau: Candidate #20. There's an interesting note about her arriving after the purge. From my crummy math and Ben's entry... the purge must have JUUUUST happened when she and her crew landed.<br /><br />Danny Picket: mentioned he was once considered for Jacob's candidacy.<br /><br />E -<br /><br />Eko: The smoke monster singled him out because he recognized him as an on island threat and wanted to remove him.<br /><br />Eloise Hawking: She gave Daniel the name Faraday as an homage and a tool to keep Widmore from finding him. She left the island at 41 years old in 1978 to give birth to Daniel. She took the job at the ring store to ensure she'd run into Desmond and keep him on the correct path (not sure how she knew he'd be there... whatever)<br /><br />Ethan Rom: Ethan and his mother returned to the island after the evacuation due to their relationship with Horace Goodspeed. Ethan wanted to join the Others and Widmore would allow it if he helped carry out the purge. (Guess that mean Ethan helped kill his folks... yikes.)Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-56092486107312932992010-10-28T18:41:00.000-07:002010-10-28T18:42:03.668-07:00More notes...Update...<br /><br />Forgot a B. <br /><br />Boone Carlyle: Confirms he was candidate #226<br /><br />Ok... just finished C<br /><br />C - <br /><br />Charles Widmore: Eloise lef the island to safely have their baby (Faraday). The Purge was Widmore's call after they didn't follow the rules of the truce. <br /><br />Charlotte Lewis: Cadidate #140<br /><br />Christian Shephard: Confirms that it was the Man in Black as Christian who told Vincent to go wake up Jack after the crash. (This scene was depicted in a web short I believe... can't remember what seasons it was between)<br /><br />Cindy Chandler: Cindy, Zach and Emma survived the mortar attack and escaped into the jungle. Also says along with Rose and Bernard, joined under Hurley's guard. (dissapointingly, it didn't really say any special converting method to joining the others. They explained their cause and she joined up basically)Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-29781970044971961152010-10-25T19:37:00.000-07:002010-10-25T19:41:17.822-07:00More Lost Stuff!!!I bought the Lost Encyclopedia (of course I did). It's official and shit, so it gives a few notes here and there that weren't necessarily made clear on the show (or weren't at all).<br /><br />Here's some stuff I found interesting. I'll keep updating... really for my own records. But if anyone else wants to read and comment, boy that'd be swell.<br /><br /><br />Epilogue: I also read the "epilogue" of the book, it goes over the major characters in the sideways world, with some pictures, a few quotes and what their sideways journey was all about. A few interesting notes: <br /><br />Sayid: Why Shannon woke him up... the love with Shannon allowed him to be the man he wanted to be. (Posters note, haha: It makes sense to me. Sayid had so much baggage and memories of the terrible life he used to lead and Nadia (not her fault but...) was a constant reminder of that. The relationship he formed with Shannon wasn't based on anything but his character) <br /><br />Jack: I posted anout this one before, but the entry discusses David a little bit, and just that his upbringing was VERY similar to Jack's. (makes me think David was just a younger version of Jack so he coudl work out his father issues.) <br /><br />A -<br /><br />Ajira Flight 316: confirms that it was Widmore's goons that murdered the remaining passengers left on Hydra island.<br /><br />Annie: Annie left the island during the women and children evacutation.<br /><br />Ash: The ash circle around the cabin was broken at an undisclosed time, and it WAS used by Jacob, but after the circle was broken, the Man in Black began to use it. Ash was also used in the Sayid/Dogen tests.<br /><br />B -<br /><br />Ben: The "rules" Ben spoke to Widmore about in his London penthouse were to never harm each other or their families.<br /><br />Blast Door Map: There's really a ton of little things here but here are a few:<br />The ? on the map was due to Radzinksy (R) not knowing who occupied the station.<br />R did not know what was going on at the Orchid<br />After the Purge R survived and marked the stations he could get to with the quarantine sign, and took refuge in the Swan.<br />The CVs that are all over the map refer to a Cerebrus Vent the name DI used for the smoke monster.<br /><br />Bram: again mentions that they went to the Cabin to find Jacob but realized MiB had been using it so they burned it.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-48977185603263458632010-10-12T08:12:00.000-07:002010-10-12T17:35:56.839-07:00Final Fall Lineup (for now)Pay Channels (OnDemand):<br />Weeds<br />Boardwalk Empire *<br />Eastbound and Down<br />Bored to Death<br />Dexter<br /><br />Sundays:<br />The Simpsons, Fox, 8:00<br />Family Guy, Fox, 9:00<br />Boardwalk Empire, HBO, 9:00<br />The Walking Dead, AMC guessing 10:00 (10/31) *<br /><br />Mondays:<br />House, Fox, 8:00<br />Chuck, NBC, 8:00<br />Gossip Girl, CW, 9:00<br />The Event, NBC, 9:00 *<br />Hawaii 5-0, CBS, 10:00 *<br /><br />Tuesdays:<br />Glee, Fox, 8:00<br />Raising Hope, Fox, 9:00 *<br />Running Wilde, Fox, 9:30 *<br />Sons of Anarchy, FX, 10:00<br />Parenthood, NBC, 10:00<br />Caprica, Syfy, 10:00<br /><br />Wednesdays:<br />Survivor, CBS, 8:00<br />Terriers, FX, 10:00 *<br />South Park, Comedy Central, 10:00 (10/6)<br />Ugly Americans, Comedy Central 10:30 (10/6)<br /><br />Thursdays:<br />Community, NBC, 8:00<br />30 Rock, NBC, 8:30<br />The Office, NBC, 9:00<br />Fringe, Fox, 9:00<br />It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, FX, 10:00<br />The League, FX, 10:30<br /><br />Fridays:<br />The Good Guys, Fox, 9:00<br /><br />Saturdays:<br />Saturday Night Live, NBC, 11:30Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-3290517543917165092010-09-22T09:10:00.000-07:002010-09-22T09:21:04.315-07:00Fall Lineup (adjusted)I've already eliminated a few and have adjusted for shows that are no longer on.

As a consolation to the 3 people (more like 1... me) who still read this, I just re-watched the final season and finished the finale. <br /><br />Everything that was awesome is still awesome. But over some time, here's a quick list of things that kind of bugged me:<br /><br />- David Shephard. What happens to him? kind of sad actually. Will his parents just be gone now? What the hell is he supposed to do? Maybe that event (missing parents) leads him to the actual people that mattered in his life... or maybe he goes Kurt Russell/Vanilla Sky. Bummer.<br /><br />- Miles. As a fan, I would have liked to see him in the church. But I'm ok with the idea that he lived a full happy life after the island and others were more important to him. <br /><br />- Helen. Shouldn't she have been in there sitting with Locke? And if not her, Boone. He felt out of place sitting in the back with Sawyer and Juliet.<br /><br />- Why can Jin speak perfect English in the sideways after waking up? Not really a complaint, just kind of funny.<br /><br />- I think Boone and Shannon probably should have "triggered" each other... but they didn't have another way to get Sayid to wake up. It could have been Nadia but they used her too much and maybe... maaaaaybe they didn't plan ahead? No way.<br /><br />- Still bums me out that Mikhail/Omar/Keamy are able to be killed. This is they're afterlife too. Maybe they're rotten shits and go to hell? Bummer.<br /><br />- Hurley never said goodbye to anyone on the island. Still bugs me... but the epilogue takes care of that. I'm sure he got to see them all again.<br /><br />- The plane didn't have to leave. Jack fixed it. But they didn't know that. Kind of a bummer. They wanted to leave anyway I guess. <br /><br />Anyway, still the best ep of television ever.<br /><br /><br />So that's it for Lost right now. I'll watch em all again at some point. Hopefully soon. Might still try and update this site with other crappy tv stuff.<br /><br />See ya!Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-24575272346262821842010-08-30T18:07:00.000-07:002010-08-30T18:28:23.549-07:00Lost EpilogueSo there's a Lost Epilogue that came with the boxset, that I foudn pretty great, and here's the recap: QUIT READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />OK....<br /><br /><br />Starts off at a Dharma Warehouse where a couple of dudes are building the Dharma food drop pallets. They put them on drones that get coordinates from the Lamp Post station. <br /><br />Ben shows up telling them there's a new man in charge (Hurley) and he tells them they're shutting the place down, they get fat stacks of cash and Ben shows them the Hydra Orientation film cuz they're rightfully dumbfounded. The video doesn't help them much... but it does answer a lot or clarify a lot for us, even if we'd pretty much come up with it ourselves by now anyway. here's what we learned:<br /><br />- Pierre Chnag says all his different names are used as a security precaution.<br />- The giant bird that shows up in the first few seasons, "the Hurley Bird", was created by Dharma and they released it on the island.<br />- The polar bears had the right memory and adaptibility to be a part of Dharma's tests. Once the were smart enough they were collared and sent to the Orchid where we know they were used to move the island and wound up in Tunisia.<br />- Also alluded to the electromagnetism on the island being the cause of the pregnancy issues.<br />- Room 23 was used to interrogate Hostiles and then they wiped their minds with the video and some drugs.<br /><br />The Ben leaves and he goes to visit someone at Santa Rosa Mental Institution.<br /><br />WALT!!!<br /><br />I guess he stayed out there after visiting Hurley.<br /><br />Ben wants Walt to come back to his home to the island because Walt is special and he belongs there. Ben also says even though Michael is dead, Walt can still help him.<br /><br />They leave and get in a van where Hurley is waiting and he's excited to take Walt back, and he basically tells us that Walt's gonna be the next island protector.<br /><br />Anyway, it was nice to see, lots of info and great tp see that Walt, Michael, Hurley, Ben all will have a happy ending (Desmond too, cuz if they come and go from the island he can too). Also nice to see that Hurley will be able to see his pals and let his family know what's up. Maybe let other's know what happened to their family too (ex. Jack's Mom).<br /><br />So good stuff. I'm gonna start my rewatch soon.

It will keep me sane.... or insane... muwahaha!<br /><br />Anyway... here it isMr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-56966583222979869432010-06-01T21:20:00.000-07:002010-06-01T21:37:48.122-07:00Flash-sidewaysWell i had a REALLY exciting Memorial Day weekend, so I watched a bunch if this season's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">eps</span> again focusing on the sideways world that we now know as "Purgatory". Basically just looking for hints at the end game plan for this world. Not sure is anyone is reading this still but here were some pertinent notes this round:<br /><br />Ep 1-2:<br /><br />- Jack has his neck cut, recognizes Desmond, and just barely recognizes Kate as she;s coming out of the bathroom.<br /><br />- Charlie hints at what we learn later... he was supposed to die (or at least he wanted to)<br /><br />- Rose seems like she could already have "flashed" over, and when we see Bernard much later in the season, he has too. Makes sense, they're soul mates.<br /><br />- Boone. If you go back and read my first ep recap from earlier int he season, you'll see that I noticed something was up with him even back then. I thought he had just become a better actor... but maybe he had already flipped over!!! Seeing Locke could have done it, or trying to get Shannon back from Australia maybe.<br /><br />- Two red herrings... The island is in the bottom of the sea... and it turns out that never mattered. Also, Juliet says (to Miles while she's dead) "It Worked". Like the bomb going off? Nope, the candy machine turned back on and dropped Sawyer his apollo bar.<br /><br />Ep 3: Kate<br /><br />- The singular episodes focus primarly on the significant change and growth the characters have made. For example... Kate. Rather than running from the Claire baby situation, she came back to help. She used to run.<br /><br />- Kate almost flashes on Jack outside the airport.<br /><br />- Claire's belongings seem to almost trigger her as well.<br /><br />Ep 4: Locke<br /><br />- Lockes accepts his place in the world. Although later he's ready to get fixed. But either way he seems at peace.<br /><br />- Meets Rose.... she doesn't give any serious indications that she knows anything funny, but she does send him to the school where Ben teaches, so it sort of helps. She also tells him about accepting cancer, and maybe he should do the same.<br /><br />Ep 5: Jack<br /><br />- Jack has a son to work through his daddy issues.<br /><br />- His appendix scar? Nope. Where Locke stabbed him in the finale.<br /><br />Ep 6: Sayid<br /><br />- Dealing with beign a good or bad man. I wonder if this storyline might have been Eko's if he had stuck around.<br /><br />- He can't be with Nadia, too many bad things always happen. Althoguh the Shannon thing was sort of convenient.<br /><br />Ep 7: Ben<br /><br />- Father figure stuff. He chooses Alex this time over his own desires.<br /><br />- Another tease about Dharma.... didn't end up mattering.<br /><br />Ep 8: Sawyer<br /><br />- Not really sure what Sawyer was workign on... he was a better dude, but nothing esle really changed. I guess he worked out most of his stuff in the real world.<br /><br />Ep 9: Richard<br /><br />- Not really a flash ep but his wife did say to Hurley that they already were together. Maybe talking about the "light" they all went into. Maybe?<br /><br />Ep 10: Jin and Sun<br /><br />- Another one I wasn't real sure what they needed to improve on... and maybe NONE of them did. <br /><br />- A question, I think we already asked, Mikhail/Omar/Keamy all died. So are they fucked for the afterlife? Was this world real for them too? Cuz it was real for others: Daniel, Eloise, etc. Maybe their connections just didn't reach that far so they were phonies (like David Shephard).<br /><br />Ep 11: Desmond....<br /><br />From here on out its Desmond, Hurley and then the group eps... so it all starts to come together for them... but those were some early season notes that I thought you might find interesting.<br /><br />Still planning on doing a fuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllll series recap of stuff but I'll probably wait for the Blu Ray series to come out in late August.<br /><br />Later.Mr. Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316979618468008693noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471622397911934690.post-54078253720262619202010-05-24T16:52:00.000-07:002010-05-24T18:34:18.379-07:00The Final Episode: The End<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>, had some time now and watched it a couple of times. We already touched on a strong majority of the show below, but I thought I'd watch it one more time, sort of taking notes as the show went on...<br /><br /><br /><br />SHOW NOTES:<br /><br />- For starters, the music on this series is unbelievable.<br /><br />- Pretty sure that's the director's dog, also the Jacob Cabin dog painting crossing the street when Hugo and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sayid</span> are going to get Charlie. Neat little note.<br /><br />- Good piece of acting with Hurley being so happy to see Charlie. Or at least it was real nice to see. Like most of this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ep</span>.<br /><br />- I know it made Peter and myself laugh at the size of the bush Sawyer was hiding behind.<br /><br />- Good to see Rose/Bernard/Vincent (more on him later). At least they weren't so lame this time. (and from the looks of things they probably enjoy a nice island life with Hurley and whatever other fools show up to the island).<br /><br />- Richard being alive was good to see. <br /><br />-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Juliet</span> is back as the fertility doctor for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jin</span> and Sun, and we get our first "awakening" of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">ep</span>. Pretty heavy stuff, if you didn't get chills watching these scenes then you probably should quit reading this and question whether or not you actually have a soul. <br /><br />- My bro Pete does bring up a good point... why would they be so happy about realizing they were dead? Well, whatever it is they're preparing to leave for must be pretty great and I think they know that. Could also be an understanding that these weren't REAL lives they'd been leaving... kind of shells. Now they're <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">complete</span>... I dunno.<br /><br />- Richard's got a grey hair! Jacob's dead so now he's aging. Good thing he didn't go all dude from the Last Crusade who chose the wrong grail.<br /><br />- <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">LAPIDUS</span>!!!!! What a bad ass.<br /><br />- Two tribes merge again and we're headed to the center of the island.<br /><br />- Juliet is Jack's ex wife... sort of figured. What I don't get is why David even exists. I guess he was created to help Jack get over his daddy issues and he could "let go". Actually yeah I like that. Sort of a bummer for Davey though.<br /><br />- I liked that Desmond didn't actually have all the answers he just thought he did. And I really liked his speech to Jack, even if he was wrong. Jack delivers a very important line: "All of this matters"<br /><br />- Hurley tells Jack he believes in him. good stuff. The Hurley/Jack interactions really got to me.<br /><br />- Jack and Locke were BOTH right. Locke needed him to take out the island so he could leave, but Jack was right that it would turn him mortal. <br /><br />-Good <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">speech</span> from Hugo to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sayid</span> (sorry for jumping on and off island, but it does it so much this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">ep</span>, its almost impossible not to)<br /><br />- Shannon's back. Sweet sexy Shannon. And <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sayid</span> and her flash. I'm sure some people are worked up over him not being with Nadia, but it never worked with Nadia, she kept getting hurt. <br /><br />- Boone. How <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">d'ya</span> think he got "enlightened"? Seriously.<br /><br />- They needed Desmond to unplug the island. (by the way, trying to figure out who built these island contraptions, etc is frankly too much at this point for me to grasp). His condition made it possible. Lots of skeletons down there. Maybe from when they were building it.<br /><br />- <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Widmore</span>/Drive Shaft concert. Liam shows up for ZERO lines... nice of him to do it though.<br /><br />- Charlie sees Claire. Thought Chuck had a real strong episode.<br /><br />- Jack gets knocked out by a boulder from Locke. His brain is mush at this point.<br /><br />- Was hoping we'd get more from Eloise this year, but it's pretty clear she had been awakened a long time ago, and was holding onto this world because she enjoyed he time with her son. It was actually kind of a sweet scene. I do wonder why she is against moving on, when everyone else seems to be totally for it. Actually one of my bigger questions from this finale... which is par for the course with Eloise Hawking.<br /><br />- Claire, Kate and Charlie all flash over. Pretty great scene. More Chills. Actually there were more scenes with chills than without in this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">ep</span>. Sort of true.<br /><br />- That tree hitting Ben seemed like it would be a pretty big deal... guess not.<br /><br />- Epic fight scene between Locke and Jack. we see how Jack gets his sideways world scars. Also, I'm sure you've all noticed how Jack was stabbed in the same spot that the big JC was when he was on the cross. I'll let you figure that one out.<br /><br />- Kate kills Locke. Kinda cool. <br /><br />- Jack fixed Locke and he WAKES UP! Jack keeps getting closer and closer.<br /><br />- Great scene with the Suns and them knowing who Sawyer is, but he doesn't yet.<br /><br />- I guess the plane was in better shape then I remember, AND it wasn't nearly as big. So, while it's still a stretch... I'm alright with those guys fixing it.<br /><br />- Good final Sawyer and Jack scene (could of used more of them) but even better Kate and Jack scene. There last REAL WORLD interaction.<br /><br />- A little bummed out that Hurley didn't really say goodbye to either Sawyer or Kate, but it's awesome he stayed with Jack. Also very cool that Ben wants to go down with the ship.<br /><br />- Got a little bit of a Frodo/Sam vibe from Jack and Hurley in this ep.<br /><br />- Sawyer/Juliet. Great stuff. A call back to her dying and recognizing the other world earlier in the season. <br /><br />- Kate tries to trigger Jack. She says "I've missed you SO much". I think that's proof that she made it off the island with the Ajira flight. She lived a long life and hadn't seen Jack in so long. <br /><br />- I sort of saw the Hurley transfer of power coming a mile away, but it was still a cool moment between those two. Also a great scene between Ben and Hurley. Desmond's ok too... more on that later. At first I thought Ben was going to try and kill them... but watching it again, he just looks genuinely excited to see some island magic going down.<br /><br />- Jack gets Desmond to safety and plugs up the island. "I'll see ya in another life brother" Awesome.<br /><br />Not sure why he didn't become a smoke monster once it started up again. I think it must have had something to do with Mother's rules for Jacob and Smokey. When he did a header into the cavem it would have killed him, which Jacob can't do... so there it seperated his evil black soul. Smoke Monster!<br /><br />- Kate and Sawyer grab Claire and make it to the plane.<br /><br />- Ajira makes it off the island... sort of neat to see the passengers:<br /><br />1- Other<br />2- Freighters<br />3 - 815ers<br /><br />- Ben and Hurley will run the island... more on that below.<br /><br />- Excellent Locke and Ben scene. Ben says Locke was special. That's as close to a Walt answer as you're going to get. Hope that makes sense.<br /><br />- Hurley lets Ben know he was a great #2 and Ben says Hurley was a great #1. More PROOF that they lived their lives after the crash. There wouldn't be TWO purgatories. (word?)<br /><br />- Also, Ben decides to stay. Probably for two reasons, A) he doesn't belong with that group and B) he really does still have some stuff to work out, Alex, Danielle, etc. Good for him.<br /><br />- Jack makes it to the church and sees CHRISTIAN. Other than the character aspects of this scene, Jack and his father finally having their moment they needed since season 1, Christian says some pretty important things:<br /><br />1) They're all real. Everything that happened to them was real.<br />2) There's no time here. They all needed to be there, it started after they were all dead<br />3) Some died before Jack and some after. Again, Whatever Happened, Happened.<br />4) They built this place together, they needed each other to remember... and to...<br />5) let go.<br /><br />- A happy ending as they all see and greet each other again, and ascend off into... well whatever it is. Together... Live together, die alone. Sorry, went for the cheese there, but if you've been reading for this long I doubt you mind.<br /><br />- Interspliced with this is Jack (who was launched out of the cave, think something like Eko, Desmond, and Locke after the hatch implosion) slowly making his way back to the bamboo forrest where it all started for him (notice the tennis shoe in the tree from the pilot ep).<br /><br />- Just as he's laying down to die, Vincent comes down (like in the pilot) and lays down with him to keep him company. I think that one scene affected me more than any other in the history of... well tv I guess.<br /><br />- Jack looks up and see his friends made it, and the eye closes. I actually believe that they had that scene from very early on. Just perfect.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE SIDEWAYS WORLD:<br /><br />- Some think they were dead this entire time, since the original plane crash... couldn't disagree more.<br /><br />- EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED ON THE ISLAND HAPPENED. Them leaving, them coming back, them time traveling, it was ALL real. I might be wrong. But I doubt it.<br /><br />- I don't think this is JUST Jack's purgatory (for lack of a better word). They all had realizations, they all built it together. Others there are still waiting to leave. At some point I'm sure Ben, Alex, Danielle, Eloise, Daniel Faraday, maybe even Charles <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">Widmore</span>, and many others will have their own send off. Of course we won't see that. Someone like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">Eko</span>? <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Well</span> the people or person most important to him and his journey was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yemi</span>, so he probably left with him. (also he <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">refused</span> to come back for the show unless they paid him a shit load, but whatever)<br /><br />- Some things I really can't explain like why Aaron was a little kid and not grown if it was his purgatory... and why Miles wasn't there, seems like he had quite an attachment to some of these guys.<br /><br />- Long story short, I wouldn't get too hung up on WHO was in the actual church, it was just a nice way to send them off. They all get a happy ending... which some people might think is a big cop out, but it certainly made me happy.<br /><br />- A lot of it was probably <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">unnecessary</span>, like why the island was at the bottom of the ocean? Certainly some misdirection by the writer's kind of unfair, but whatever, they had to keep the storyline alive all season and keep us guessing as to what it really was. In the end, it was a perfect way to see all their "greatest hits" and bring them all together again. Plus, those scenes where they remember... I mean... <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">c'mon</span>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SO WHAT HAPPENED AFTER WHAT WE SAW?<br /><br />- Well, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">everyone's</span> moved on... they "live" in the afterlife, and all is swell.<br /><br />- How about in the more immediate future... let's do a final check of where were at:<br /><br />- The final shots of the beach have been generating a lot of debate. I think it was just a nice shot of the beach again, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error">cuz</span> unfortunately we never really saw it this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error">ep</span>. Also, the typical theme music there is pretty ominous and suspenseful<br /><br />- Hurley and Ben run the island, with Bernard, Rose and Vincent, and probably the rest of the Others who survived. I'm guessing they find Jack at some point... I hope at least. I like Ben's last line... do it your way (paraphrasing) I'll assume that means he got Desmond off the island... was probably even able to visit his folks and let them know he'd be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span>. Hopefully someone talked to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-error">the</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kwons</span>, and Jack's mom as well.<br /><br />- Also fun to think about what happened to those guys on the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ajira</span> flight afterwards. <br /><br />- Frank probably went back to his normal life. <br /><br />- Miles, same deal, hopefully he had those diamonds still.<br /><br />- Richard, probably used one of his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_29" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mittelos</span> identities to blend in.<br /><br />- Sawyer, Kate and Claire? That gets a little trickier. Especially for Kate. They're all supposed to be dead, and Kate told everyone that was the case. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_30" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ahhh</span>... I'm sure they'll figure it out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Well... that's about it for now. It's definitely one of my favorite <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_31" class="blsp-spelling-error">eps</span> of the series, and my favorite series finale ever.<br /><br />If you've got any more comments let's hear em! What did you think? What did I miss?<br /><br />Oh, also, mostly for my own benefit, I'll definitely be going through all the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_32" class="blsp-spelling-error">eps</span> again and if we don't have an answer for an outstanding question from the show... well... we'll make one up!<br /><br />A good run.
