I'm really struggling to get past the fact that Sawyer threw himself out of the helicopter. I have never, ever been so terrified in all my Lost life. I mean, his near execution in "I Do" was just pure, blind terror but I was rather calm. Last night, I was just hysterical.
And then Sawyer was half-naked, and with Juliet, and all was right in the world
Anyways...
This episode was beautiful. I cried upon several occasions and spent most of the time screeching and shouting at the television. Granted, I felt it started a little slow but once we got going - the drama and emotion was incredible.
Pesmond - I totally, 100% did not expect to see Penny. It was such a shock and so wonderful. I'm not ashamed to say (even though Des and I are on rocky grounds, lol) that I pretty much burst into tears. Yes, things have gone wrong, people have died but to see the two of them reunited. They fought so hard to find each other, and lord, it makes me so happy!
The Flashforwards - Why oh why do they have to take EVERYONE back, including Locke's body. I mean - ew. Surely this is not a wise plan. I mean if it saves Sawyer and Juliet's lives then that is great, but if they're going back because they miss it, or for selfish "I'm guilty" reasons then that's just odd. Especially to take poor Aaron back.
Keamy - Ew. Was there any need to have him dripping in blood? The fight with Sayid and the Others was awesome though. I'm so impressed, and also weirded out with the plans between Kate and the Others. I mean, that worked really well - good con. I was also surprised with my concern for Ben.
The Rescue and the Freighter - I have little to say about the rescue, apart from one point, where Sayid had his arm around Kate's shoulders - I sense a moment, lol. The Freighter! I can't believe Mike and Jin died, I was so sad and cried my eyes out. I mean, I hate Sun, but it was heart-breaking to see Jin chasing that helicopter and then die
. I also wonder about Daniel and his boat - will they have gone with the island?
I'm aware I've left the best until last...
Sawyer and Jules - As soon as Frank said that thing about losing weight, I knew Sawyer was going to do something, however, I did not think he was about to throw himself off the helicopter! Then I saw his face and screamed at him in an angry and unrepeatable manner
, then he told Kate something (hopefully about Cass and Clem) and I became hysterical, and then the kiss - which I awwed, and then Sawyer jumped and I screamed like a banshee. Thank God he lived! I loved the scene of him emerging onto the beach - he was beautiful. And then Sawyer and Jules together. I found it really touching tbh, and really emotional that they're the only ones left. I hope they use the rum to their advantage
And now I'm rambling, but I really, really enjoyed the episode and thus far I've watched the Sawyer bits back
but I plan to watch it again soon. Loved it though - emotional and touching, and just brilliant
. I'll stop now, lol.
