It is way past due...

I really need to put together a post on my thoughts of the final episode as well as the season as a whole. I only had a full week of sitting on the couch with four less wisdom teeth to accomplish this. Well I didn't. But it should be coming soon. Should be.

I May Have Something Here...

In light of the season 5 finale, I think I have figured out the basic storyline LOST is trying to follow. While I'm not sure of details, I think that LOST is following the Biblical story:

If you take the time to read this short article, I think that Jacob's enemy represents Esau, his brother. I think this more because right before Ben kills Jacob, he complains about never getting to even see him. Then he talks about Locke and something along the lines of: "When he [Locke] want's to see you, he gets taken up here as if he were Moses himself."

And so...I predict Season 6 opens up with Jacob being born by his mother, Rebekah. Any thoughts/comments anyone???

ZOMG!!!! Figured it out

The Island is a Stargate!

All this time travel stuff and now egyptian heiroglyphics, it all makes sense!

but, on a serious, non-Kurt Russell note...

Which do you think came first, the Egyptians or the Island?

Or, do you think the people from the Island influenced the culture of Egypt, or do you think that Egyptians somehow landed on the Island to create the heiroglyphics?

Smoke Monster Vent

Okay, so I was just taking another look at previous episodes (which we all know I needed to do), and I came across something pretty interesing. It's not a huge thing, but I didn't want to forget about it. So in the first episode of season 5, the Dharma folk were working on construction underground. This is the spot where we saw the Asian guy from the videos and Miles. They didn't make a big deal about it, but they definitely showed and focused on the vent holes (exactly like what we saw in Season 5 Episode 12 (Dead Is Dead). This is the square with like 30 holes or so. I thought it was pretty interesting and may raise some questions...

Maybe this is just the guy who is uneducated on LOST speaking, but could this be the same vent that Ben went to? Did they purpously make these vents for the Black smoke monster (or some other reason)? Or perhaps these vents were just always there?

During this scene as well, they talk about so much energy being released that they could use it for time travel if they drill any further? After the Asian guy leaves, Miles stands just staring into the holes that the guy was drilling.

Anywho, just doing my necessary LOST homework and trying to spark some ideas and see if anyone can shoot this down or build on it. I recommend re-watching Season 5, episode 1 (Because You Left).

He will never be the same

So tonight sealed up some recent mysteries that involved our lady Kate.

First off there was the issue of what Sawyer asked her to do before he jumped out of the
chopper. I always had a feeling it had something to do with his kid but seeing as I never mentioned it you could all think I am lying. Either way this did end up being the case and we learned that Kate did not keep 'the lie' to herself and she went off blabbing to everyone. I guess this was a solid answer about what Sawyer wanted but there isn't much to it. I guess this could come into play later just because she did know the secret.

We also found out what happened to Aaron. When she lost him in the store we were all rather upset at the possibility that this was the reason Aaron was gone. Then when she brought Aaron to his Grand-mammy it made a lot of sense save for one thing, why? Why is she really going back to the Island? Is she honestly going to look for Claire? Was she just done with Aaron and wanting to escape? Idunno.

I really liked the conversation that took place between Miles and Hurley during the house arrest. The whole Back to the Future thing was hilarious and they really had a flat out explanation of how the time travel stuff was working (you know for people who don't dedicate their lives to this kind of stuff). I thought for a minute that it was all going to be for show when Hugo pointed out the fact that Ben never realized that Sayid was the guy who shot him as a kid. But as we saw at the end of the episode what happens to little Ben in the Temple will cause him to forget what happened.

So the cool thing that we all picked up on at the watch party was that Jack's decision not to help little Ben, in an attempt to prevent the big evil Ben, actually resulted in the course of events that made Ben the way he is. It's in a way, Jack's fault.

Finally I have to say that I am super excited to see next week's episode. It is clearly going to be Ben centric and we should get a great look at the Temple and some of the mythology of the Island. Also I like that we will get to see some of what happens when Ben gets a beat down at the docks. I can't wait.

The Biggest Cliff-hanger Ever?

We all know what I'm talking about. Sayid and Ben. Here's questions and my thoughts on it:

Is Ben Dead? I think he's dead like Locke and Christian are dead. Not 100% sure the shot was "fatal" but I don't think he's gone gone.

Did Sayid prove Faraday wrong and change history? Again can't say anything for sure. If Ben is really dead, then could that explain the state of DHARMA-ville when Sun goes there? Is this why Ben is still knocked out of it in the future (as in the past changed so at the point Sayid shot him, time was changed and he dropped in the future).

What the heck is Sayid going to do now? Is he going to go chill with the Hostiles? Him being there could explain why they left the SWAN alone.

I'm sure there are more that I'm missing. Thought I'd throw something out there to get some talking going....this was by far one of my favorites of this season.

Christian!!! (and lesser note, tonights episode)

As per Ryans suggestion

Christian is like American Express, he's everywhere you want to be



2 of us think that this weeks episode was a let down, anyone else?

We met Radinsky, we met baby Ethan and childhood Ben... but no other big reveals.

Although, where is Daniel? Supposedly he's not around anymore. Death, time travel or maybe working a secret time travel project with Dharma?

And where the hell is Desmond?
