the lost isle

As the last episode of Season Four aired I couldn’t help feeling a little bit sad because now we have to wait until next year to find out what happens next - but boy, did this Finale lift up my spirits.

I didn’t think they’d be able top last seasons Finale of revealing Jack & Kate off the Island and introducing the Flash Forwards - but they did, and they did it with style!

This episode opens up with a view of the sky, and presumably an airplane. My first thought were they were showing the crash again from the pilots point of view, but when I saw the pilots I knew it couldn’t be as neither of them looked like the Pilot who died allll the way back in Season One, in the episode “Pilot”.

The title of this episode got me excited to see it as we all know it must have something to do with Jacob’s cabin, and Jacob himself. I was anticipating the reveal of Jacob all through this episode, and slightly dissapointed we didn’t get to see him pyhsically. But the episode itself was great!

Ok, it’s been almost two weeks since watching this episode so bear with me :)

After a heaty discussion on the Island at Camp Jack, Jack collapses. He says it’s because he’s dehydrated but Juliet knows better - it’s his appendix and it needs to be taken out.

One of the things I love about LOST is the shock factor. I’ve never been one for spoilers and am proud to say that I’ve avoided 99.9% of spoilers since the show started back in 2004, but having a ten day delay to the US was excrutiatingly difficult for me because I had to avoid all the LOST forums and sites I visit because I knew there’d be discussions about the latest episode, and there was no doubt that I didn’t want to know about it.

This episode provided one of the most shocking moments in LOST and I am so glad to say I didn’t see that one coming! Poor Alex!

This was the episode we had been waiting for all season. Ever since we knew Michael was set to make his return we anticipated just how and why he would come back, and when it was revealed that Ben had a spy on the freighter we all speculated that it would be Michael, but still unsure if it would actually be him. And even after episode 7 when we knew Michael was on the freighter we still questioned if he was actually the spy.

Meet Kevin Johnson - the episode were we found out just how Michael ended up on that freighter - the wait was over!

This episode of Lost was probably the one with the best twist to the storyline! It certainly got the mind boggling!

So Desmond and Sayid are being locked in a room on the freighter, when Frank comes in and gives the guys some food. They mention how they managed to escape the room earlier and told Frank that someone had left the door open. They both thought it was him, but Frank said that it wasn’t. So who was it I wonder?

Cut to Sun and Jin on the beach - Sun is concerned that Sayid and Desmond have been gone for three days now and is wondering if the freighties are really there to rescue them. Jin quickly changes the subject and they start discussing baby names. Jin says he likes the name Ji Yeon for a girl. Aww.

This episode, to me personally, was really poor compared to the high standards of the previous 5 episodes. Nevertheless - not all Lost episodes can be exciting and revealing and even though I was bored with this episode, I’m not going to hold that against the writers!

So, this episode starts off with Juliet talking to what appears to be a shrink. Juliet explains that it’s been a week, and she feels like she’s a celebrity. To me, that sparked off thoughts of Juliet actually being one of the Oceanic Six! But that could not be… Juliet wasn’t even on the plane! Two minutes later it’s clarified that this is actually a flashback of Juliet’s time on the Island.

So, this episode saw Desmond and Sayid in the helicopter and they hit a little turbulance. Desmond panics and holds on tightly to his seat and then for some reason Desmond is now back in 1996 in the army. He has no recolection of what happened and seems to think that the helicopter journey was a dream.

Later on in 1996 he is doing pushups when bam - he’s back in the helicopter again just where he was a couple of minutes ago. Only this time Desmond still thinks it’s 1996 and doesn’t remember anything or anyone and is shocked at what’s happening to him.

Probably one of the best endings to a Lost episode this season, no wait… ever! Who saw that ending coming? I know I certainly didn’t!
So, it’s a Kate-centric episode and we learn that she was infact one of the Oceanic Six and everyone knows who she is and what she did and she is still [...]
