Act I of LOST’s final season ended this week with the glorious final sequence of “Sundown”. Before we get into Act II, IÂ wanted to hear your thoughts, comments, rants, theories, etc. about the first six episodes of this season. Please keep your comments spoiler-free!
I went to the hospital where Claire was giving birth in the flashsideways and also did an interview with one of the extras in that scene who happened to be a friend and co-worker.
Looks as though the powers that be returned to fine form with this episode, recharging the formula and giving us a lot of new twists and turns. Even though it was billed as a Kate-centric episode, the secrets behind the curtain had much more to do with Sayid, the Others and, of course, our long-lost Island mother, Claire. We’ve got much to talk about, so grab your vials of Dharma vaccine and let’s …
I’ve heard a lot of hype about his episode being filler. And I don’t agree. We’re in the midst of the final season, folks. I highly doubt we’re seeing filler. There’s just not enough time for it. I’m convinced that everything we witnessed in this episode was necessary in order to understand the full scope of things at the end. Well…we hope we understand at the end, right?
We have faith in you Damon and Carlton. Don’t let us down!
Ahem.
We saw some pretty big developments unfold tonight. First, though,
I want to point out some things that were mentioned or that I noticed during the enhanced airing of LA X, part 2.
First off, it is clarified that the ‘alternate’ timeline that is occuring off-island is NOT a flashforward or a flashback. It’s a flash sideways, showing us what would have happened had Flight 815 landed at LAX. Hmm… NOT a flashforward. NOT a flashback. Got it. Don’t really understand it, but I got it.
While re-watching LA X part 2, I noticed something that I missed the first (and second AND third) time around. Sun is referred to as Miss Paik. So did she not marry Jin? Or did she just not take his name? Does Jin have to work for Mr. Paik before he’s permitted to marry Sun? What’s going on?!?
With questions still left from last week, we add even more with the airing of What Kate Does.
The total viewership for LOST dropped 1 million from last week’s premiere, but it was up 1.2 million viewers from season 5’s second episode and won the 9-10 p.m. hour with Adults 18-49.
We heard the phrase only once, but we saw the words–in deeds that risked lives–two dozen times in the space of forty-four minutes. Tonight’s episode was one of the richest in the six years of this most compelling of television programmes, for tonight we were obliged to confront dangers of mind, soul, and spirit. This night everyone on-Island and off risked everything–and gained rewards even more precious than a wedding ring kissed by tear-stained lips. This was an episode to savour.
