Lost: Meet Kevin Johnson (3/20)

[LonnaSaur]

I just learned that tonight's episode is the last until April 24. Oh, no! I can't wait that long. Also, when the show returns on 4/24, it will air at 10:00 instead of 9:00. Sob! I can't stay up that late so will have to wait until Friday night to get my Lost fixes.

Tom is GAY!

[trixiebell]

We kinda knew that when he told Kate that she wasn't his type.

the island wont let you kill yourself!? that's interesting.

i loved when sayid turned in michael to the captain. i have expected the captain to shoot him. Also, i dont think that the french woman is dead. poor karl :(

[angiemarie]

I hope Rousseau isn't dead, I like her crazy ass.

If I was a gay guy, I hope my boyfriend's name would be Arturo. That's pretty hot, good for Tom.

I enjoyed this episode. I was wondering how they would explain what happened to Mike and Walt without actually showing the much taller Walt. So they are estranged again, oh well. I was hoping that when Michael saw Walt at the window he would yell "WAAAALLLLTTT!!!!!" a la A Streetcar Named Desire.

Was it just me, or was that random guy in the engine room with Michael kind of cute? Can someone with a dvr let me know? I was pretty tired when I was watching Lost last night, I might have imagined that.

What a bad episode to start a month-long break on. Yawn. Even the "is it a flash forward or flash back" question was too easily solved. And to be truthful, the big cliff hanger didn't leave me hanging. I could not care less about what happens to Michael. He's been off the show for so long, plus he wasn't all that likable to begin with. Dumb Lost execs... just kill the guy and let us get on with our lives.

I think it only doesn't let you kill yourself until you've done what it needs you to do. I still think it's Michael who ends up in that coffin. He originally signed up to do this freighter thing to rectify his 2 murders and get his relationship back with his son. But now that Sayid has turned him in, it's probably this revelation that everyone who is not off the island, a la the Oceanic 6 or otherwise, is either dead or still on the island because of Michael's true identity being revealed. His guilt is back...the island doesn't need him anymore...he is able to kill himself. And end up in the coffin. Where no one will attend his funeral. Because he sucks.

And when Sayid realizes it was his ratting out Michael that causes all of this, he will then be riddled with guilt, and be guilted into working for Ben. Just as Michael was.

I love reading GreyBishop's recaps and he often references Slaughterhouse Five, which is about the time travel of Billy Pilgrim, so I decided to read it. I came across a passage that states, "Every so often, for no apparent reason, Billy Pilgrim would find himself weeping." I don't know if Grey referenced this in his recap when Daniel was watching the news TV about the crash of flight 815 and found himself crying for no apparent reason (I tried to find it in his old recaps but didn't see it). Anyway, later in the book when Billy still finds himself weeping, it turns out that he had just come from a time when the winter wind was bringing tears to his eyes.

Just thought that was interesting and I wondered where/when Daniel was coming from...

I also found this in the comments from the last recap, and thought it was VERY interesting:

Also, because I know you all are so interested in my earler posting (wink wink) in which I mentioned I'm reading "Atlas Shrugged", just thought I'd mention that I came across a very interesting dialogue in Chapter VI-The Non-Commercial (in my paperback, its page 147). A party goer was talking about the central character in the book, John Gault. Gault is a millionaire who was sailing his yacht when he happened into the worst of storms which led him to "The Isles of the Blessed." It was a place that sunk itself to "escape the reach of man." An island of which only the spirits of heroes could go, entering without dying. But the island's location was secret-many men perrished trying to find that island. But this John Gault found it at the bottom of the ocean; he took and crew and they willingly sank their ship to get there.

Obviously, I perked up when I got to this part. But there is a major difference between this ancedote in the story and Lost: the island is Atlantis, which we all know to have exsisted in the Atlantic Ocean.
(And because I just KNOW everyone cares, I lived in the Azores islands (spelled Acores to the natives), which some believe to either be the remains of Atlantis or a porthole to it. And let me tell you, those islands have way more beauty and personality than Hawaii- which we all know is where Lost is filmed-so you can imagine how wonderful the Azores are)

So anyway, an interesting tidbit I was excited about and I thought I'd share with you.
Ta Ta for now!!

Neat, Claire! I read this book in high school and had gotten forgotten that part. This may also explain why Jack cries all the time. ;)

I couldn't of said it any better. I was thinking the same thing.

[jampony]

I know this should go in the music thread, but I'm too lazy to find it. I suddenly feel the need to go listen to my Pretty in Pink soundtrack; and after that, I'll play my Some Kind of Wonderful cd. Bring on the dancing horses...

[stupid]

I don’t buy that the two freighter butt holes killed Rousso and Karl. Or that they plan on killing everyone on the island with two guys with mp5’s and a sniper rifle. I think the others were waiting for Alex under Ben’s orders. After all he did send them on that path. And Michael’s gun didn’t go off because Tom jammed the firing pen when he took it from Michael. He should have tried to jump off a skyscraper or something.

Since we still have another 2 weeks until our beloved Lost is back, I thought I'd post a link to another good read from EW:
