It’s interesting that the images seen in the mirror before Jack sees his house are places Jacob met with other passengers from Flight 815. We see a glimpse of the church where Jacob meets Sawyer at his parents funeral, and we see a glimpse of the Korean building where Jacob met Jin and Sun when they were married.

Was this little exchange the reason why the episode was called The Substitute? I actually don’t think it was. I believe it refers to Sawyer, and him being a substitute for Richard. Flocke wanted Richard to go with him, perhaps because he needs someone with him to be able to go home. As Richard refused, it seems Sawyer has taken his place. A substitute.

So, Sayid wakes from the dead only to be “claimed” by some sort of darkness. He hasn’t been taken over by Jacob, and he isn’t Sayid from the alternate universe. This is “zombie” Sayid.

Little do they know that this isn’t far from the truth. I believe that Sayid still thinks like Sayid and is unaware of the Darkness that is growing inside of him. The question is, what will happen when the Darkness takes over?

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. [...]
