This week was good. i like how they really bat your perceptions of characters back and forth. Like Faraday, who is very likeable, leaving a woman in an intermittent vegetative state. Of course, maybe he went to try and fix it.
This episode also reminded me of how much i like Richard Alpert. It was different to see Richard in a time where he didn't exactly know what was going on.
The whole thing with Widmore was the best reveal in this episode for me. Not the office scene (i won't be more specific since i don't know who's watched it and who hasn't)
Oh yeah, and Miles is definately the new Sawyer when it comes to the one liners (though Sawyer had a couple this episode too)Next Week: The Little Prince
Kate discovers that someone knows the identity of Aaron's parents. On the island, the dramatic shifts through time place the remaining survivors in extreme peril.

^We'll be seeing more of her too. Probably backstory of the ship?
She's listed as being on 4 episodes on IMDB.

To Kult's post, and the one question I've asked often:
What about all the kids on the other island? The other survivors? No mention of them for this entire season. I don't think the writers and producers can just let that go so easily.

- in addition to these (maybe) is the 15 or so extras who died on the freighterlocustsloth

"series end in 2010"?! oh ffs, what's the point? Shitty American TV execs and their stringing shit out with too much padding.
Like this 'episode' - it's just a fucking update review of all the previous episodes - what crap.
Telenovela guff, I'm done with you.

personally, i thought the finale sucked compared to last year's. i called a bunch of stuff (to the exact line a couple times), and the whole locke in the coffin thing was painfully obvious after the first hour.

I really hope that's not the end of Farraday. Next to Ben and Hurley, he's my favorite character right now.
So Farraday is also Penny's half-brother. Not shocking, was expecting that. I wonder if it's supposed to be another recurring gag in how people wind up being related, their parents apparently really got around, off-island and on.

i just want the flashback episode where ben goes after penny (as he obviously got knocked around a bit, probably by desmond) and see if either of those two survived.

We have a giant Lost email chain at my agency. This was a drunken, but coherent rant I had written. Felt worth posting here.
I for one never feel like this time-travel arc was involved from the beginning of the show, but rather, was painfully forced into the overall plot over the last 2 seasons. There's just too many issues I have right now with everything that's been going on. One of my biggest issues I brought up a few episodes ago.
That, everyone ON the island, as well as Ben, keep re-iterating how the Oceanic 6 MUST return to the island, yet never once has this ever been explained. The characters frustratingly just keep complaining that all of the problems are a result of the 6 leaving, yet their departure had no real effect whatsoever on ANYTHING that has happened thus far. Every single issue that has occured since Season 4 is a direct result of Ben moving the island, and the wheel-mechanism being shifted off its axis.
But these issues go back to the freighter itself. WHY didn't Ben allow Michael to blow up the ship? This problem has never been touched on since, yet it is the ENTIRE reason EVERYTHING has turned to shit. Freighters came, killed tons of people, Ben panicks, moves island, sends island into a time-disarrayed crash course... The oceanic 6 never would have even left if Ben didn't simply destroy the freighter when he had ample chance. And when they DID leave, it had zero effect on anything. Yet NO ONE in the show questions this. They simply quietly buy into this idea that it's their fault and they should return.
Another issue: Where is the old Jack? The one who took action? He's been spending the last 10 episodes with his puffy hair, sort of just wandering about, barely mustering any emotion above a sneer, and otherwise wimpering around and pleading with people.
Another issue: Why do the Oceanic 6 have to go through such ridiculous efforts to return to the island? They have the coordinates, that should be enough. Why? Because the Dharma never had to orchestrate bizarre flights with guitars and handcuffs and dead people's shoes. They just had coordinates, then came and went AS THEY PLEASED, recruiting people, and constantly shipping people to and from the island.
What about how Richard Alpert would routinely leave the island, to interview Juliette, or go scout out her sister and videotape her for Ben? Then he'd return without problems. Same with many of the Others. And what about DESMOND? He was just flailing around in a damned SAILBOAT and stumbled onto the island. No special mathematical coordinates. No preparation. Yet, for some reason, the oceanic 6 have to go through all of this silly stuff when the island actually WANTS them back on it. Why? It seems completely superfluous. Like the writers added it in for no reason. It just adds a silly level of complexity without any real benefit.
The fact is, almost EVERYONE thus far on the island BESIDES the survivors have had zero difficulty in EVER getting to and from the island. The worst the process ever sounded was via Ethan when he said "the ride is bumpy".
My last huge issue is how the show has taken a huge massive dump on all of the other survivors. Sure, we only never saw a select group of survivors in the entire show's history, but they never made the other 40+ people seem like such expendable, stupid bags of waste in the first 2 seasons, as they have now. You know things got bad back when the freighters attacked the Barracks and they were getting shot down like toy ducks while Sawyer runs around in the open with Claire unscathed.
Now, they randomly get blown up or killed en masse by flaming arrows, or completely disappear altogether. Just to make things easier, so we can stare at Sawyer and Juliette all day? FUCK!

Didn't she die at the end of the last episode?
I'm fine with it, I always found her character mildly annoying.
- But she's kinda purdy and looks limber.harlequino
- Sorry... she dead;Pukit

show has gotten realllllly lame the last season. Seasons 1,2,3 were great. Since then...um not so great.
Daniel Faraday was such a weak character anyway.
Get me back to the Locke, Jack, Kate, Charley, Hurley and Sawyer days.

WTF, they can't kill off Rousseau!
