Jin was an interesting choice as the first one they would see.<br /><br />Lots and lots of questions, but I'm beginning to think that it's what the writers want. As the plot gets more and more complex, with time jumps added in because it wasn't already complicated enough, it feels as though the writers are playing with us. To them, it seems, <i>why</i> and <i>how</i> everything is happening is not important so long as we, the audience, are unsure. This is why there does not seem to be any "rules" for the monster, the dead, the Dharma Initiative, the Others, anything.<br /><br />I, frankly, have given up caring very much. I have accepted that it's convoluted and unknowable to a certain degree and am sticking around because I just love the characters. They are beautifully written and wonderfully acted and I love watching them with each other.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15413778308809347622009-03-08T06:40:00.000-04:002009-03-08T06:40:00.000-04:00I absolutely loved Ben's recounting of the story o...I absolutely loved Ben's recounting of the story of Thomas the apostle, and it signified a deep parallel to the ongoing story in Lost.

Two planes (Oceanic and Ajira). Oceanic ends up on the island but another plane ends up under water? <BR/><BR/>Surely the Ajira is hit by the time flash and crashes 30 years in the past. No one looks for it and when it is found its actually a plane from the future. Did Whitmore (or Ben) find it and then orchestrate for it to be labelled the Oceanic (not so hard IMO as its much more believable than this plane doesn't exist) <BR/><BR/>Love the irony of Frank Lapidus initially pointing out that the pilot couldn't be who they said (turns out it was him!)<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Peter GillespieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23718164098370568682009-02-23T10:05:00.000-05:002009-02-23T10:05:00.000-05:00As far as the Kate/Jack/Sawyer triangle goes, I th...As far as the Kate/Jack/Sawyer triangle goes, I think they should just be a poly threesome. How can you choose between those two? And think of the spinoff possibilities--after Lost is resolved, they could do a show on the idea of Big Love, except that it would be Kate with two husbands. Though I think Jack and Sawyer's bickering would make for a better sitcom than dramedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-11990855280704255872009-02-23T08:53:00.000-05:002009-02-23T08:53:00.000-05:00A little I guess.

It was...I'm not sure how i feel about this episode. It was typical Lost in that instead of stretching time out like they usually do they fast forwarded, but it was still surprising. I'm guessing that we're going to get flashbacks explaining what happened to Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Ben (and possibly Lock)which i think will be interesting. Although not knowing when things are happening is really starting to bug me. Loved Jin in the Dharma van though.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, if Jack is doubting Thomas then i think Ben is Jesus. He's the leader after all and he was beaten and bloody, just like Jesus when he died. I also don't think Kate killed Aaron. She made a comment to Jack about not keeping things that make you sad that i think was significant in same way.<BR/><BR/>I almost didn't recognise Frank but i did recognise Jack's grandpa. I couldn't figure out why so i looked him up on imdb and it turns out he was Lauren's father in Alias. I also thought he didn't look remotely old enough to be Christian's father. Not that it matters.<BR/><BR/>Did anyone else find Eloise's lack of concern for her son odd ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-23629931667729793352009-02-22T12:46:00.000-05:002009-02-22T12:46:00.000-05:00Just one thing.

I thought he crashed on the island in a storm during Widmore's boat race that he was doing in order to prove himself worthy of Penny. Where does Eloise fit in with that?<BR/><BR/>OK. Two things.
