I'm sort of at a loss of what to post. 2 hours passed last night. A lot happened but then again they're all sort of in the same place as at the beginning of the 2 hours. Okay, not exactly true, but Lost has mastered the art of running in place so as not to tell the story too quickly. I'm ready for this show to be over. Not because I wasn't entertained, but...this show needs to wrap up. It's got a life.

So the people on the island are skipping around through time. I sort of wondered if Jacob and the mystery whispering people were somehow out of phase with the rest of reality. And now with this time stuff, I'm thinking that they are. But maybe they can control it to some extent. Actually, I wonder if Jacob is actually Lock or someone.

And back on dry land, some drama involving Ben and Sun and...well, all of them. Hurley's going to jail for murders Sayid committed, which I'm sure will just be a small side-step before they all try to get back to the island. The stuff on the mainland is the running-in-place stuff I was talking about. There's all this crafted drama (that really has nothing to do with the overall island mystery) just so that they don't all meet up and 5 minutes later head off in a boat.

Oh, and Desmond remains awesome.

It did feel all unnessecarily drawn out. Most of the time I was about 5 seconds ahead of the story. Guessed Marvin Candle (then I was sort of spoiled I knew there would be someone surprising so as soon as I saw a Asian woman and they hid him I got it. Same with Daniel, there was a video they showed at ComicCon that's on the net with him videotaping Marvin), guessed the old lady as being connected to Desmond, etc

I just sat back and enjoyed it for the comedy. Loved Hurley's mom "why is there a dead pakistani on my couch!" and her reaction to him telling the truth, aw!

I hated Sun though, I'm not the best Kate fan, but Jack totally was responsible for Kate managing to be on the Helicopter (as much as I hate Jack, I'll give him that) so she's not responsible for not being able to save Jin. and yet Sun was totally emotionally blackmailing her sublimingly to do what she wanted her to!

Oh, and Locke's so not dead!

I didn't know Marvin and Daniel were coming. Daniel turning up was intriguing, but now that I know the time thing it's not really a mystery anymore.

His parents did bring the comic relief. :D

Sun was totally emotionally manipulating Kate there. I have to wonder to what end? It's not like Kate had been connected to Ben, so not sure how using Kate would help Sun get to Ben.

Nope.

I've read someone thinks it's to get to Jack, who she does blame for Jin's death, and she must blame Ben as well.

I was also a bit put out by the violence in this ep, I didn't like that frogurt guy but he dies very violently and I didn't like that, and that no one seemed to help any of those hit, except Julliet at the last minute. And that bit with her hand seemed overkill for the situation, considering how army like they seemed, you think they would have noticed that neither Sawyer or Julliet was armed...pardon the double pun.

Oh, I forgot about Neal. Although the second any time an islander you've never seen before suddenly gets a speaking role, you know they're dead. Heh.
