Lost 6.06: Sundown, Further Explanation

I feel I must give further explanation.

There’s just too much stuff. It’s become so overwhelming to even know where to begin sticking in pins. Do I bother lining out some parallels from previous episodes (Sayid kills Dogen and Lennon, similar to Michael killing Ana Lucia and Libby)? Or do I focus on things I didn’t understand (Why did Smokey send Claire in instead of asking her to brush away the ash?)? Or should I just compliment (the Temple aftermath scene was totally bizarre and super creepy)? I still have tons of speculations and thoughts on previous and ongoing things (Is Smokey really recruiting to get off the Island? What does that mean? He could just kill all these people outright at this point, so why gather them?). I could discuss deeper themes or more Alice parallels; I could discuss connections that occurred in this ep; I could discuss the title; I could discuss each character and what’s going to happen with them; I could discuss just this eps backstory, just this eps Island story; I could probably do a whole entry just on Sayid finding Jin, held by Keamy and Omar, in the freezer of what could have been the same restaurant Naomi gave Miles his tryout.

I mean, seriously! How does one really do this in a week at this point! I could do an entry every night and that would BEGIN to cover it. So that, my 2 readers, is why I have not been able to post. *sigh*
