Lost #4.8: Meet Kevin Johnson

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

This episode was basically one long flashback, uninterrupted, so it was unique that way. It told the story how Michael ended up on the boat, using the pseudonym Kevin Johnson. I guess after he and Walt left The Island, he told Walt he had killed Ana and Libby so Walt hates him now. [...]

Lost #4.7: Ji Yeon

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I didn’t like this episode, really. I can’t quite fingerpoint why. The Flashback was both a FlashForward AND a FlashBack. And the only reason it was both was to momentarily confuse people, not for any legitimate story reason. The FlashForward showed Sun giving birth–so she is the 6th of the Oceanic [...]

Lost #4.6: The Other Woman

Friday, November 28th, 2008

I found this episode weird, like it didn’t really add much, but at the same time added a lot. I guess on thinking about it, I’ll go with the latter. It was kind of slow moving, and had a Flash Back, not a Flash Forward, so in that way it wasn’t as intriguing. [...]

The X-Files #1.16: Young At Heart

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Some of these “monster” episodes are starting to feel kind of cliched. They’re hardly extremely original. This one, though, had a little twist of government conspiracy tossed in very briefly which made it feel like it was part of The X-Files. The oddest part though–besides the man who had his aging process [...]

Lost #4.5: The Constant

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Time travel fully confronted again, with another story about Desmond. It was interesting, as Desmond figured out how he was jumping back in forth in time. Dan The Physicist helped him, and in the end he made contact with Penny. I see not how this has anything to do with the rest [...]

Lost #4.4: Eggtown

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Eggtown is about Kate.  On The Island, she’s spying on Locke.  FutureKate goes on trial for her pre-Island crimes, and settles and goes free.  The courtroom stuff was used to reveal that FutureJack loves her still.  But he won’t, because he doesn’t want to see her baby.  And I guess the big deal is that [...]

Lost #4.3: The Economist

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Weird, I was totally not expecting FutureSayid to be a James Bond-like, womanizing spy!  And even more amazing, he works for Ben!  Ben is having him kill people on a list.  There must be some relation between that list and the list Ben referred to throughout season 3?  Also somehow, FutureBen has the skills of [...]

Lost #4.2: Confirmed Dead

Friday, November 21st, 2008

This episode dropped 4 new characters on to The Island, which inevitably shakes things up big time, like alkaseltzer dropped into water.  The helicoptor of “rescuers” are a ghost whisperer, an archaelogist (named C.S. Lewis), a physicist and the pilot (and Naomi, who dropped in late last season and is already dead).  Three end up [...]

Lost #4.1: The Beginning Of The End

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Pre-show: Where was I on this?  Obama Campaign interrupted, and I don’t really remember.  What do I recall about the season ending?  Mostly, the final scene of Future Jack and Future Kate.  I’m still very excited about that.  More so, I would say, than any of the other characters/situations in the present time.  Of course [...]
