Wow, what a freaking awesome episode!! I loved it
a great comeback eppy. Firstly - i can't believe they killed Alex!! :O what a shocker. Not that i thought Keamy was the type to play games, although clearly Ben didnt believe he would actually go through with it. I feel awful for Alex, but i must say it does serve Ben right for being so damn selfish!
I absolutely LOVED Sawyer in this episode! Thought he was bloody brilliant. How he rescued Claire and everything, and in general he just made me laugh and i thought he was great. But it was slightly ridiculous that he managed not to get shot with about 100 freightie bullets being aimed at him!! Roco, you scared me with what you said about his head possibly being on the chopping block....eeek, i dont want Sawyer to die!! Not after Charlie...i dont think i could cope! Fingers crossed that he sticks around for a while yet. I love Sawyer!
Thought it was interesting that Hurley was looking after Aaron for most of this episode - although definately a hint of things to come, i think. Hurley will probably be 'left holding the baby' quite literally, and something will happen to Claire. That's what i think anyway...
I sometimes find Sayid flashbacks slightly dull, but i thought this one was interesting, especially as we find out how he came to work for Ben. How very noble of you, Sayid. Poor Nadia though - it seems that everyone who is remotely involved with one of the losties ends up dead these days...
Liked the stuff about Ben & co. being trapped in the house, and once again the losties having to take orders from Ben. Also we find out that Ben has yet again lied about something - the smoke monster. Oh dear Mr Linus...building up quite a reputation, aren't we? I still think he is a fabulous character, though.
Interesting that Hurley has gone with Locke & Ben...looking forward to seeing what will happen with the mysterious Jacob! I am quite intrigued as to what role Hurley will play in all this....
Also i wonder how Hurley then comes to get off the island with Jack & co? Obviously now Claire, Sawyer and Miles are heading back, but as we know none of them get 'rescued'. I wonder how Hurley ends up 'holding the baby' then? Unless (oh god) all 3 of them die somehow and Hurley rescues Aaron? Ahh no....PLEASE not Sawyer! :S
The Jack and Kate flirting at the beginning made me giggle...is Kate after Jack again now? Although i did notice something with her and Daniel too...which made me think of this forum as it's been mentioned on here before! I love Daniel...and hate Charlotte...but i wonder what they know about the situation with the Doctor? And was that really him? Looked like it to me...although Daniel's (or Bernard's) morse code message was very interesting - "What are you talking about, the doctor is fine". Unless it's all relative with the time difference...what if when the freighties received that message, the doctor WAS fine? Like, Daniel was speaking to them in the past? I hope this is making sense lol...and then something happened to the doctor afterwards? Plausible, imo. I actually love all this time difference stuff, i think it's brilliant. And it makes me laugh when Daniel tried to explain and Jack just doesn't get it xD ahh, bless him.
Loved the ending with Ben and Widmore. Wonder if Widmore meant anything by the fact that he said he couldnt kill Ben. Literally? Also interesting how this appeared to be in a relatively present time zone (i.e. not when the losties were still on-island). Gives us some hints of whats to come, i guess. So i assume Desmond is still alive?
All in all...brilliant episode. And i've just written more than i usually do! Loved it.
Also - loving the new forum!
