Ratings were down again for Lost. Is it really a surprise? We are down to the nitty gritty now with the show. Things are now making sense (well, sort of) to those of us who have maintained our commitment to the show. Lost isn’t one of those shows that doesn’t delve into character development, the characters (including the island) *are* the show. You can’t just pop in and out like a soap opera and a year later it’s the same story line. The show has evolved and yes, it does take thinking to keep up and understand what is going on. So for those viewers who have lost interest, I’m sure they are glued to the set every week wondering who’s going to get voted off their favorite show. Lost isn’t for those with a short attention span and those who don’t want to think and commit. But I know that there are at least still 9 million of us in the US still watching Lost and I don’t think that those ratings are too bad all things considered.
1. Ben the bad guy vs. Ben the good guy. I have to say that a guy who can unemotionally gas his own father cannot possibly be a good guy. But, I’m still shocked by Ben defending Jack to Jill. I hope by the end of next year the question is answered but perhaps there is some middle ground? Like anyone who has read the book “Hannibal” can relate, you can be a horrific killer and still somehow there is a human being inside somewhere who does have feelings and the capability of being kind to others. I’m also wondering what Ben means when he tells Sun and Jack that they have no idea the things he’s had to do to keep them safe.
2. Is Locke a sacrifice the island demands? Remember how Locke says this about Boone? I’m thinking this - Smokey is a security system for the Temple. The Others are headed to the temple when the Freighter is headed to the island. We know that when Danielle’s team gets close to the Temple Smokey pops out and takes one of them in what looked to me like a sacrifice. So how does this all tie together? The Temple is the heart of the island so when you reference the Temple you are in essence talking about the island. So I think we are going to see that some force around the Temple is what is demanding these “sacrifices” and Smokey will factor into the mix. I would assume that the group of Others headed to the Temple probably had to sacrifice one of their group to Smokey in order to enter the Temple. Maybe the Temple is where Locke will re-enter the island either in his flesh or in whatever form Christian has taken to move around.
Previously, on Lost: Kate meets Jack at the docks and is surprised to find Ben there. Jack tells her Ben’s with him. That doesn’t sit too well with Kate because she knows that Ben’s the one that’s trying to take Aaron. Ben admits to it. Meanwhile, in a car not too far away, Sun is watching all this going down while petting the gun in her lap. She’s got some vengeance on her mind. Back on the island, the left-behinders continue to jump through time, and just about everyone is developing nosebleeds. Locke wants to get everyone to the Orchid so he can go off-island and bring the Oceanic Six back to stop the time flashes. Out at sea, Jin is picked up by some Frenchies in a liferaft and they turn out to be Danielle Rousseau and her crew. Jin’s a bit confused, but alive. Woot.
This week, on Lost: Sun, while waiting to attack Ben at gunpoint, gets a phone call from her daughter, Ji-Yeon. She’s a cutie pie, and Sun tells her that she met a new friend for her in America - Aaron. She hangs up, grabs her gun and proceeds to get all up in Ben’s grill. She wants Ben to pay for killing Jin, to which Ben responds by telling her that Jin is still alive.
Back on the island, Jin is, indeed, still alive and still confused, but starts getting the picture when he and Danielle chat some more. The other Frenchies have picked up the radio signal that repeats the numbers over and over and want to know if there is a radio tower on the island. They want Jin to take them, but all Jin wants to do is get back to the beach camp. He doesn’t know the way, though, so he eventually agrees to take them to the radio tower so that he can get his bearings and then head to the beach. Uh, okay, whatever. I didn’t quite understand this logic, nor do I know how Jin knows where the radio tower is since he wasn’t one of the ones to go there in “Through the Looking Glass” back in Season Three. I can only shrug.
Lost got down to brass tacks this week. And by brass tacks, I mean One-Armed French Dude. It was a great gag, on par with Arzt. The timing was impeccable. Montand was pulled into the “declivity in the wall” just long enough for me to think, Eaten, and then, That’s what she meant by ‘lost his arm’? before he called out for help. Which led to the darkly funny realization that he was just standing (or laying, squatting, what have you) a few feet down this hole. With one arm. Which later led to the genuinely creepy realization that something did happen to all of them down there and, in a moment, they were changed.
There were some updates on non-peripheral characters, too. Jack and Ben got a new recruit when Ben used his Dharma mind tricks to convince Sun to join the Go Back Squad. Here’s a woman with a gun in his face and every intent to kill him over her husband’s death. He not only convinces her to drop the weapon but to get in the car with him and let him drive her to see a woman who can prove that her husband, who was last seen 3 years ago on an exploding freighter, is alive and well. Which is two lies. He has the proof - Jin’s wedding ring - on him and the woman they’re going to see has no time for reunions. And he has the nerve to stop the van on the ride over just to call her an ingrate. Seriously, the guy is magic.
