Lost, Makes with the awesome: "The Variable" heavy spoils abound

This would have been up sooner but I've been moving for the past week or so. Anyway, damn fine episode this past week, damn fine. I'm actually going to go ahead and say it was the best of the season so far. But that's usually the case with Lost, as in the last five six episodes of the season are typically much faster paced and make with some payoff. All that said I'm curious to see where things go from here. And, while I'll miss Farraday quite a bit I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he probably had the coolest death of any character on the show, even Alan Seward...(FINISH IT). But, yeah kind of a mindfuck with Farraday, his mom, his half sister Penny and his dad Charles Widmore. That one got shouted out quite heavily by the internet. And I also love that Farraday used the exact same argument that I did on Dr. Chang being Miles' father. And also that little Charlotte said that whole chocolate thing to Farraday, even if it kind of fucks the time table. (I'm supposed to believe she's like 3-5 years older than Ethan?) I will say, though, that while I'm excited for this season's endgame I am a tad leary of what that would mean for season six.

As in, if the plane never lands on the island what then? We've already done a return to the island plotline this season. We've already seen them interact off island for the past two seasons in the flash fowards/ Oceanic six plotine. But my real question is: why would any of them want to prevent the plane from landing? I mean the ones that aren't dead, obviously. Kate would be in lady's prison, Jack would be living a purposeless solitary life, Sawyer would be a douche/ con man, Boone would still be alive to suck at everything and not bang his stepsister, Nikki and Paolo would be back on the show. It just doesn't work for me. Even if everyone still has questions about Libby it just doesn't work for the plane to not crash. That's my opinion, but I could be proven wrong. It's happened...a lot. And now, the rest of the season 5 predictions

Who's going to die: Well, I checked IMDB to se who had the most in development projects going on. And after doing that it does kind of look like Juliet is the most likely to die due to the V remake probably getting picked up. Aside from that my other two guesses are Sayid and Jack. Sayid because he shot a freaking kid. And Jack because that would certainly stir things up. And he's kind of run his race if you follow. Although, on the other hand Jack may somehow redeem himself and be returned to the leader position when they return to their time. Or maybe Ben.

How they get out of it '77: Miles is oing to tell his father the truth. It's a no-brainer really. You get closure on the Miles angle and it moves the plot ahead and facilitates some events. Makes too much sense to not happen.

How they get out of it '07: A bunch of faceless new school Dharma people, and what's her name the bounty hunter, are probably going to eat it at the hands of the "hostiles" yet again. Locke is going to either use the wheel or some such time dongle. Ben may have to sacrifice himself to do it. That might be an interesting one that nobody would see coming. It's a thought.

Where's Sayid: I have no idea. He might be with the hostiles. But he's probably on the beach. He's somewhere doing Sayid stuff.

What's Next '77: Someone's going to fuck up and the Swan is going to get built anyway. Some of them are going to make it off on the sub...I don't know things are getting hard to predict with this whole time trael business. Plot elements are malleable due to time muddling being the theme of the season. So we'll see. I'll probably be able to get a fairly accurate prediction after this week's episode. Peace.
