I can easily say I didn't see that one coming: Lost "Follow the Leader".

Well, firstly, now my girlfriend is running into Terry O'Quinn at Wegman's. He answers her questions. It's understandable though. And she really does love "The Stepfather", almost too much, so there you go. Apparently he was buying mouthwash and spinach. God that sounded like some stalker shit with the mouthwash and spinach. Anyway, onto the show.

Um, well, Farraday's dead. Jack is talking like Locke about destiny. Dr. Chang knows his time travelling son. Sawyer is probably going to find a way out of the sub to kill Phil for hitting Juliet...trust me...when Sawyer says he's going to kill someone...they usually get killed. Kate actually didn't fuck things up entirely. Sayid was in the jungle doing Sayid stuff. And John Locke talks to the island and is going to kill Jacob. Which. I. Kind of have a problem with that. I mean the moment on the show was awesome, but....

You see, the real problem with the character of Jacob is that they've been building him up since late season three. And the fact that he may in fact be a corporeal human being just seems like a let down to me. Although I guess that's the problem with the show...all the fantastical conjecture. (cue the sound effect.)

As for the episode it was pretty darn awesome. I'm curious about Locke's endgame with the killing Jacob angle. Part of me wonders if that what Jacob meant all of those years ago when he asked Locke to help him. I also wonder if there are going to be more attempts on John Locke's life? Probably. Are they going to blow up the bomb and prevent the plane from crashing? I'm going to want to say no. If Elloise is willing to make sure her own son dies, and Dharmaville is still standing in the 2000s I'm going to want to say that Elloise learns some sort of horrible lesson about tampering with time. It makes sense. As for everyone getting back to their proper time? Probably. Rose and Bernard are on Vulcan or something. I know I keep bringing them up when they aren't on the show, but I hate loose ends. As for who dies, at this point you've got me. Pragmatism would lead you to think of Juliet. Sayid is my number two choice. My number three pick is big Ben Linus. Four is Jack. Five John Locke. And then everyone else is catch as catch can. That's really it. This post is brough to you by my new neighbors and they're total lack of internet security. Peace.
