Current mood:
apathetic So, first and foremost: the man on the boat. And I'm not sure why I don't see this posted everywhere, in fairness I don't really look that much, but look Michael is Ben's man on the boat. Think about it logically, they keep talking about it so you know that there has to be some sort of payoff, and frankly, the only logical choice would be Michael. He's the only person that has left the island. When he left the island I'm fairly certain that Ben told him to follow the heading exactly to find rescue. Which is pretty much what Faraday tells Lapides when he took off in the copter two weeks ago. Hence Ben knowing about the boat. I don't know, seems a little obvious/awesome (big on the Perrineau)
And now on to the star attraction, the time issues, so, right. As succinctly as I can put it there has always been some disparity between the island's time stream and the rest of the world. When the fail safe went off this field was left totally unrestrained. This probably exacerbated the disparity between time flows and such. Most of this has to do with that, well, when Desmond turned the key he traveled through, what was it called? Fucking time. That's what. It ain't perfect, but what the hell. And then there's the other thing.
So, Christian Shepard is in the cabin and a dead Alan Seward show up in seasons 4 and 3 respectively. This would lend some credence to the alternating time fields or my super bitching conscious island/lost boys theory. As in Jack and Locke's character defining daddy issues serving as the catalyst for some sort of bastard resurrection. But, I don't feel the need to be redundant so I'll drop this tangent now.
In other side news, part of me wonders if the island/Jacob/Falcor is playing John Locke for a fool and that in the end the innocence of that shamanic manchild/grenade for breakfast lunatic will provide the entity that is the island with it's salvation. Just a thought. But of course what posting about Lost, or any beloved cult TV show would be complete without a little good natured bitching.
Firstly, can we get some fucking answers with all this crazy? I don't need all the big shit at once, but damn could we find out what the fucking smoke monster is, with his silly face. Or the four toed statue. Or why in the name of all that is holy would the Others would go through the trouble of putting on fake beards and living in a fake society. (Because in the season 3 premiere Ben didn't go, "and while you're at it everyone put on your fake beards and go live in our make believe shanty town in case there are survivors." ) And it's not like it would fool Ben's pursuers as Miles pointed out in last week's episode with his don't talk to me line (which did kick some ass). Are we ever going to hear anymore mention of Kelvin (of the all important and super irrelevant dharma map, and wouldn't someone have put a stop to the psych experiment after 15 years if that's the reason that none of the hostiles investigated the whatever station, but at the same time would you leave a space time continuum threatening cataclysm up to chance for a psych experiment that was being executed by the very people that you purged off of the island)? What exactly were Roussaeu's team doing on the island if Ben had already purged the island, that may be a time line issue or maybe I've just forgotten (which is totally plausible.)
Anyway, in closing I still love the show. I mean anyone that spends an hour writing about a TV show obviously must feel some sort of affinity for it. And, part of me does secretly wish that when I watched porno that the end of the episode sound effect would play during the money shot. (Just think about it for a second...If you don't think it's funny then you're fucking repressed.) Oh, and I bet that either this season or whenever the oceanic six do get off of the island that they show up 2-7 episodes later all fucked up like in their respective flash forwards (except Kate shockingly enough. Baby stealer that she is. I mean I guess it probably means that Claire's dead, but it'd be interesting character growth if Kate stole a baby. ) I'll stop it there.
