I have only seen the episode once but the first thing that springs to mind when summing up LA X is Wow. Just Wow. I’m sure Darlton have a checklist for the perfect Season opener which they adhere to with each season. A bunch of new questions - check. A bunch of new mysterious characters - check. Confusion, Unpredictability, Crazyness - check, check, check. But I wouldn’t have it any other way - Oh how I’ve missed you, LOST.

Sooo, without further adieu - let’s get to it!

Wow, I’ve really neglected this site since Season 5. It was my intention to review Seasons 2 & 3 during the break but things kept me major busy in the “real” world. I’d neglected it so much that I actually let the domain expire (by accident of course!). Luckily it only expired a few days [...]

Character Episode: Hurley

Quick Recap on Flashback:

Hurley is watching the lottery results on the television to which he has a winning ticket. He faints with the shock of winning, and when his mum sees to him he hides the fact that he’s won the lottery and tells her it must’ve been something he ate. Hurleys mum tells him he needs to change his lifestyle, but Hurley likes his life the way it is.

Character Episode: Locke

Quick Recap on Flashback:
Locke is at a therapy group and gets angry with a girl there who seems upset about someone stealing $30 from her. He tells everyone his story about Anthony Cooper conning him for his kidney which seems to make everyone elses problems seem tedious in comparison. After the meeting he gets talking to a lady called Helen and they seem to hit it off immediately.

Character Episode: Michael

Quick Recap on Flashback:
Michael is at a lawyers office to discuss his custody battle of Walt. His lawyer tells Michael that there isn’t much chance of him winning but Michael proceeds anyway.

At the hearing Michael is asked all sorts of questions about Walt which he was unable to answer as he hasn’t been a part of his life since Susan took him away. Susans lawyer then points out that Michael doesn’t have a job and that his hospital bills were paid for by Susan. This didn’t seem to go down too well.

Character Episode: Jack

Quick Recap on Flashback:
Jack is at the hospital when two patients are rushed in who have been in a car accident. They’re both in critical condition but Jack only has time to save one. He saves a woman called Sarah who has been paralysed by the accident.

Later Jack speaks with Sarah about her condition and is quite blunt with her about it. Jacks father over hears and speaks with Jack about his bedside manner. Jack tells his father that he doesn’t want to give Sarah false hope that she will ever walk again.

Hello fellow Lost fans! This is just a quick update to let you know my plans for the blog while we’re in-between Seasons.
If you’re a regular reader of my Lost “reviews” then you’ll know that before Season 5 started I was reviewing Season 1 episodes and sharing thoughts about what we’ve learnt since the episodes. [...]

After watching the Finale twice and letting it all sink in I feel ready to write my review. In true Lost style they provided a Finale that was exciting, confusing, action-packed, and above all, ended with a cliffhanger! Remember when we used to wonder what was down The Hatch? We’ve come so far since then, but still Lost has managed to leave us with lots of things to ponder until Season 6!

First things first… say hello to Jacob!

Finally, we get to meet the mystery man who was introduced to us way back in season 3 in “The Man Behind The Curtain”. Although, that particular scene in the cabin just doesn’t add up with what we know now after The Incident. In TMBTC, Ben takes Locke to the cabin and has a conversation with what seems to be an empty chair. Ben tries to convince Locke that Jacob is in the chair, and while doing so all hell breaks lose. Ben is pushed back, and we see for a split second someone actually sitting in the chair. Then Locke hears someone say “Help Me”. It’s important to note that Ben doesn’t hear this (well, that’s what we’re led to believe).

What an episode this was. I’ve read alot of reviews that express dissapointment with this episode but I have to disagree - I thought this episode was fantastic. With the reveal of how Richard happened upon an injured Locke during the time jumps, the return of Sayid, and Lockes declaration that he plans on killing Jacob. Not to mention that Dr Chang now believes the Losties are from the future… what a jam-packed episode this was!

So let’s begin…

The Richard / Locke encounter

In Because You Left, during the time jumps, we see an injured Locke get help from Richard. Richard doesn’t have much time to explain what is happening to Locke, but the conversation ends like so:

Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg? Nobody knows. Lost seems to have put a new spin on that question with this episode.

Which came first…?

So, in 1977 Eloise shoots an old Daniel Faraday who comes into their camp armed with a gun. Seems like a reasonable thing to do given that he seems threatening. As he lays dying he tells Eloise that he is her son and she sent him there knowing full well that she’d shoot him.
