A few more things thinking about today: Why did Jacob have Hurley write everything down? I need to see a transcript of his arm. Didn’t seem like that difficult to do what he had to. Was it just one of those fun comments from the writers about how Lost fanatics are? Curious about Jacob’s knowledge [...]

OK, it occurs to me I don’t always blog the things I say out loud. So for example, I said Tuesday night that the writers have still not said MIB’s name. The build up to this name is so huge at this point. Whatever it is, apparently the writers believe it is a huge reveal. [...]

I am completely giddy over this explanation of the numbers. Giddy. That was the coolest. Now, why was the mirror on Jack’s childhood house? Surely we are to assume it literally was showing the house back in the 70s/80s rather than showing the house as it currently sits. I assume Jacob would want to illustrate [...]

A few more thoughts before I call mom and probably during… Sawyer can’t be killed by MIB because he’s a candidate? Does this mean Michael couldn’t die because he was a candidate? Until time was up, whatever that means, until he does something to prove he no longer IS a candidate or until he’s killed [...]

I really am trying to figure out how convoluted to make things. How much should now be taken at face value? Nothing ever could be on this show, so I want to ascribe 5 different possible purposes to every action still. But will that be the case? For example, a drawn-out Sawyer’s-in-danger sequence played out [...]

As usual, the excuse of having so little time to actually think about this that I have avoided thinking about it much at all. I am aware that I absolutely need to see this episode one more time to really even have ideas about it. The Island story was essentially a totally blur. I have [...]

Quick thoughts: Older Aaron or Little Jacob? How did Sawyer see him and Richard didn’t? Ben Linus, European History teacher! Fantastic! SMOKEYVISION! Jacob had a thing for numbers? Inside Joke! “And your dad…” He’s stuck this way now… The back story was absolutely wonderful. He’s always wanted to be what he isn’t, and finally accepts [...]

I am not a Kate fan. Having to watch episodes dedicated to her is painful. She’s so worthless and vapid and one-note. She’s a girl. Surely I have many more complaints about the way they write women, but Sawyer said it best: “He’s an Iraqi torturer who shoots kids. He definitely deserves another go around.” [...]

Good lord, tomorrow is Lost already and I barely had time to say anything about it! The surface of the looking glass has barely been scratched! The main problem I know I’m having is this compulsion to spend this season differently than the previous ones: just sit back and watch with unabashed awe rather than [...]

Quick random thoughts: Possible: 1. Purge 2. Trap smokey in cabin 3. When does he escape? Jacob asked Ilana to help him. She was the entire reason Sayid was on the plane. AND it was by force, when Jacob is all about free will. I don’t know what this means about Jacob’s purpose for Sayid, [...]
