well we finally have the internet in our new house, and the dvr is up and running and is full of shows just waiting to be watched (although i've been busy trying to get the house in order that i've limited myself to only watching tv when i'm nursing aidan -- when he's asleep or happy i try to keep busy -- i'll do a post soon with some pictures of the house and the progress)
...
well i watched the season finale of lost last night. it was kinda frustrating because rob hasn't watched like the last 10 episodes and was coming in and out and asking a million questions. oh well.
...
if you haven't seen it yet, don't read past this point, spoiler alert!
...
the episode was excellent, in the first scene when jack was leading the losties from the camp to the radio tower i couldn't help myself from thinking about moses leading the children of isreal out of egypt -- and then naomi asked him what he did when he wasn't playing moses. so apparently that was the look the creators were going for. i loved it. i'm glad jack has finally accepted his role as their leader.
...
i was irritated with how the whole thing happened with charlie. i was hoping he would try to save himself, but it appeared he gave into his "fate" as desmond saw it. i know he thinks that his death somehow will insure the rescue of claire -- but i'll miss him. i'm glad he died as a hero. in the beginning of the show he was selfish and wouldn't try to help anyone but himself, now he gave his life for everyone else. what a turn around. i loved it. an interesting theory on charlie's death can be found here, she talks of the similarities to charlie's death and vaughn's "death" on alias. too bad ... from what i've read of interviews with charlie and the creators, he's DEAD. he's not coming back. he's actually looking forward to other work opportunities. maybe we'll see him in flashbacks of someone else although maybe not if they are switching the format to flashforwards, more about that later.
...
it appears mikhail (patchy) is invincible. i mean how many times has this guy been killed and then showed up again. he died when locke pushed him through the pylon and then he got speared through the chest only to swim out and show charlie the grenade before he pulled the pin. my guess is we'll see him again.
...
i was so sad when sawyer told hurley that he couldn't help and would just get in the way and kill them all. and i wanted to jump up and scream for joy when he drove in and saved the day (but i didn't because i was nursing aidan and he was almost asleep -- instead i just screamed silently and waved my hands in the air just like i didn't care). yeah -- go hurley!! i mean all the other losties go on these missions and hurley always gets left behind. i was happy to see him help out. and him talking on the walkie afterwards ... "others, come in others, we got you bastards" priceless!! i'm glad that he's given up his "i'm an unlucky guy" attitude and has figured out he's in charge of his life, not the "numbers".
...
and a shout out to sayid who killed that guy with his feet, that was awesome.
...
there has been much speculation about who was in the coffin. from the screenshot i've seen it's a man, but who we wont know at least until january. UPDATED: i think its a character we havent been introduced to. possibly someone involved with dharma. he is sooo upset when this person dies that it almost drives him to suicide, so its not just someone who isn't liked. maybe the last person who knows how to get to the island (his obi-wan, his only hope of getting back??) i dont know, just a guess.
...
here is what i think the article reads, my quesses are inbetween the brackets.
"Man found d[ead in his] downtown loft. The body of J ... antham of New York ... shortly after 4 a.m. in the ... of Grand Avenue." you can also make out something about a tower and "loud noises"
...
shauna had this interesting insight into the flashforward we saw regarding jack, "They've already set the precedent for alternate futures through Desmond's flashes, so I assume that what we saw in the flash-forward is only one possibility. Will the "universe corrects itself" aspect of the show's mythology prevent it from happening? Or is this just the beginning of many flash-forwards rather than flashbacks, and the rest of the show will be what happens to everyone after they get back?" flashforwards would put new life into the show, and could get interesting. i mean the episode was called "through the looking glass", after alice went through it her world was turned upside down, this show wont be the same when it returns after 8 months. this episode was pivotal.
...
an excellent timeline and theories
...
well that's all i got for now. i want to watch the epsiode again. holy moley, i'm completely hooked now. i watch to buy all the seasons and watch and try to catch what i might have missed the first time. excellent show.
but now, it's over. the series finale was tonight. after i got home from church i sat down snuggled aidan against me to eat and watched the last episode EVER. blah, it was boring. i didn't feel any closure to anything. ugh! whatever. i'm soooo dissapointed. they left everything up in the air, i felt it ended with a dot dot dot and not a period or even and exclamation point. after what i've read even the cast wasn't happy with how they ended things. kelly bishop (emily gilmore) described the finale as "disrespectful to fans". edward herrmann (richard gilmore) says, "we’ll never know, because we didn’t know it was going to be over. you don’t have the emotionally satisfying moments. after seven years, each of those storylines needs its own episode, almost." i guess they were too caught up in negotiations of whether or not they were doing next season that they forgot to write a good ending to this one. arg, it just makes me crazy.
