I'll just say it again. Holy Freaking Crap.


So I'm just going to plop my large butt down and make myself at home here.

My head is still spinning. Anyone else? I feel like I need to watch everything again just to make sure I really saw what I think I saw. Here's what stands out to me:
  • Daniel Farraday is hella smart and seems much more assertive in his new role as Guide to Time Traveling Adventures.
  • The castaways seem to be starting to suffer from whatever the time travel sickness is. But Juliette and Sawyer seem to be unaffected?
  • Seeing the Island in different times makes my head hurt. But it also starts to make some things make sense.
  • Three years in the future Sayid hates Ben's guts, even though he's killed a bunch of people at Ben's behest.
  • There's some kind of crazy Other Secret Organization that operates out of butcher shops and churches that wears Druid robes and uses old computers and pendulums. I swear you just can't make this shizz up.
  • Sun is scary.
And here are my questions:
  • Are Hugo and Miles experiencing the same kind of visions of dead people?
  • Is the baby in the beginning supposed to be significant? Other than to show that some people evidently did at some point give birth there.
  • Is Ben really the good guy? He appears to be saving the world. From who? Time traveling bunnies?
  • Why is Desmond special? Other than his crazy eyes and sexy accent?
I love how I continually underestimate the power of this show to surprise and delight. It is truly made of awesome.

Holy Crap is right. So did you hear them interrupt Dr. Marvin Candle during his taped session and call him, Dr. Chang? I also wondered what significance the baby in the beginning had. I swear, it could still be Miles, lol.

And I love that Desmond is the constant. And that lady doing the whole pendulum thing was the one that sold him Penny's ring, right?

And who is this Jill Meat lady?

BEST!

PS - Rainbow Drive-In is a real place in Honolulu :)

Ok...So what about the woman who was in bed with Dr. Candle...Did she not look really familiar? Is that from this show or am I thinking of her from somewhere else? LoL.

And um, the pendulum lady sold him Penny's ring? Girl, you've gotta really good memory!! I'll have to research that! ;)

I love this show...So very...

I thought the lady in the bed with Dr. Candle was Sun's mom, and that the baby was Sun! But Alison pointed out why it wasn't. Maybe it's Miles and they are related or something?

I still think Jin is alive and somehow through the time- space continuum Sun and Jin will have their glorious reunion. T

Ahhh... Desmond the constant. Those words bring tears to mah eyes. Hhahaha...

Alison said...

Yep, it's the same lady. They call her Mrs. Hawking I think. Wouldn't it be crazy if she is Daniel's mom that Desmond is supposed to be finding? Crazy.

I still have hope for Jin. Daniel Dae Kim was in the credits!

I totally thought about her being Daniel's mom too! How Daniel tells Desmond to look for his mom, dude!!!

Daniel Dae Kim is still in Hawaii :) So I'm thinking/hoping/praying he is very much still Jin and alive :)
