Recoil
Regular
OK just saw this.
First off, that ENTIRE ship/bomb bit was really, really poorly written and directed. OK so they use liquid nitrogen to keep the bomb from going off? Great, thats fine. But as soon as the light turns red, and Desmond goes to warn people, for the rest of the time NO ONE SHOWS ANY SENSE OF URGENCY. You see people wearing life vests and chilling on the deck, walking any which direction even as the chopper is lifting off. Sorry folks, if someone told me there was a bomb on the boat, I'd have that vest on and be in the water in 15 seconds flat, swimming as far away as I could have. But all those jokers were just wandering around. Then there is Michael. After all that build up, what a STUPID way to end his character. So what, the island wanted him to come back to what? What was it he really did? NOTHING. And don't try to tell me his "destiny" was to keep that battery cold to save Jack and Kate and them. Just because the Liquid Nitrogen ran out, that doesn't mean the bomb would blow up instantly. Hell it would take 5-10 minutes for that battery to even START to warm up. His ass could have been off the boat like everyone else should have been. But no, it runs out and instantly "BOOM" which was preceded by Christian's send-off. That was really contrived. I really didn't buy any of that. It was laugh out loud silly, all of it.
That said, I think Jim is alive. IF he isn't, then he is also dumb. Why flag down the chopper when its lifting off? Cause your wife is on it and she's safe? Dude, just jump your ass off the boat and swim away. Don't tell me your fisherman's-son ass couldn't swim better than Sawyer.
Sawyer annoyed me in every scene.
Ben was awesome in every scene. He and Locke's interaction was great.
The red headed chick was born on the island eh? Interesting.
Moving the island was cool, and very reminiscent of when Desmond hit that "release" button.
So Locke was in the coffin huh? I think that was just about everyone's first guess when we all saw last season's finale. I also agree I don't think he will still be dead when he gets back to the island. So what is next season about? Them trying to get back? Or will it just start with them back and slowly fill in how they get back? Isn't next season the last season?
Next they revealed that some properties of the island are "negatively charged" exotic matter related, and that space and time can be effected (as some easter egg video clips on the net eluded to. Well thats kind of neat, and goes along with at least part of what we have been thinking. There is still a TON unexplained. Namely Walt. He was such an important part of Season One, and all his mysteries seem still unaddressed. Hopefully they will next season, but we will see.
I just feel like we are heading towards a let down when this show ends. I'm sure they will answer a lot, but I also think there will be far more that never gets answered. We should start a thread naming all of the still-open Lost mysteries (or find a website that has already done this). There are TONS. While I don't think 100% of everything needs to be answered, with a show like this, you really do owe the viewers quite a bit, but I feel like we are going to get screwed there. What does anyone else think?
Best line of the episode: "So?"
