Lost: I Do

Tonight’s episode of LOST is the mini-season finale which then breaks for 13 weeks, due to come back in February with a non-stop run until the true season finale during May sweeps.

The episode is Kate-centric, supposedly dealing with her (failed) marriage. Also on the plate is Henry/Ben’s surgery and whether or not Jack will help (or let him die as Juliet suggested via flash cards last week), Kate and Sawyer’s hook-up, and hopefully a small mention of what the hell happened to Sayid, Jin, and Sun after the boat was stolen.

I’ll post a recap tonight after the episode.

Bwwweeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr….

(That’s supposed to be the funky noise they play over the title credits. Phonetic sounds don’t translate well to type)

Spoilers after this point!

So Kate was once named Monica, and she married That Guy From Firefly. He buys tickets to Central America, where she can’t go–leaving the country while being a fugitive and all–so she decides to fix the problem by drugging him and R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

Kate and Sawyer do the down and dirty, Sawyer has a schmoopy moment and actually shows a human side, and Buck Likes To Fuck from Kill Bill wants to shoot him in the head.

As far as big (mini)season finales go, this one didn’t have as nearly shocking moments as I expected. I was curious when Jack went all creepy after seeing Kate and Sawyer post-coitus and agreed to the surgery, but in actuality I think Jack made up his mind to let her go and sacrifice himself instead.

Jack’s a crafty one. After Juliet stares him down for several minutes, Jack makes his move and cuts an incision in Ben’s kidney, giving him about an hour to live.

The cliffhanger had me shouting at the TV as usual, but overall I was a little unsatisfied at the end of the episode. Like I mentioned earlier, I just expected a bigger payoff than “You got about an hour head start. I’M GOING TO YELL REAL LOUD NOW!”

I’m assuming that they’ll make a break for the dock and steal back Desmond’s boat, otherwise there’s not much of a chance of them ever making it back with the whole Alcatraz thing going on. I guess we won’t know much of anything for 13 weeks.

Until then I guess I have Groundhog Day Day Break.

I just was never able to get into “Lost.” I think it’s because I am mad at JJ Abrams for creating a show, making it a hit, and then leaving in the middle of everything to go make another show. I understand that in Hollywood you have to strike while the iron is hot, but he did that with “Felicity” and with “Alias,” and dammit, I’m not going to go through that again!

Plus, it’s as if I don’t have ENOUGH television to watch these days…

Oh wait, this is not the WoW forums. No, BDogg, I totally agree. I refuse to even watch it until it gets cancelled. I wasn’t a felicity fan, but I think if you go back and rewatch Season 3, you could probably pinpoint the exact moment that Abrams checked out of Alias. And I’m sorry, green screens during the last season? Come on!!!

Ah, but see, this is where you are both wrong. While JJ’s name IS all over this show, he hasn’t written but a handful of episodes, most of them in the first couple of episodes. He didn’t write at all in season 2, and so far has only written one episode of this season. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cruze are the two mainly responsible this show, which is why it’s so different than Alias ever was.

Give it a chance.. go rent Season 1 from NetFlix or something, and try to watch it as another show, not another JJ show.

And the last season of Alias sucked ass in so many ways it’s not even funny. Not even JJ could save that show from ridiculousness.
