Re: Lost: Season Four

I *think* Meet Kevin Johnson just became my favorite episode of the season.

The main characters didn't get a lot of screen time, but a LOT of questions and missing pieces were filled in. I'm still in a bit of an overload...

Re: Lost: Season Four

Anytime I see Brian K. Vaughan listed as the writer (or one of the writers), I know I'm in for an interesting episode, and for the most part, it was a good plot-laden episode.

Sayid's reaction to Michael's new "employer" was ironic considering what we know of Sayid's future employer too.

I find it kind of weird how people thought Mr. Friendly was anything but gay after his word to Kate (her not being his type), I thought he was pretty clear in his meaning, but at least it's finally cleared up for good.

Is it me, or has Alex gotten hotter in the past couple of seasons? I won't believe Rousseau's dead until they show her being buried. But with a huge cast of characters, I can see why they were clearing out some of them.

Cynthia Watros' scenes were so brief, blink and you missed them.

Re: Lost: Season Four

It seemed pretty clear to me too but I remember people saying it had to do with the needle mark on her arm. Like you said, it's cleared up.

I feel like a dirty old man but yep.

I'm guessing it's The Others shooting at Alex, Rousseau and Karl. They're planning on taking Alex back into the fold and are removing the two people who would try to rescue her. And like you said (again), that slims the cast down a little bit too. If Ben somehow communicated with Harper, I guess he also set up a plan to have Alex kidnapped.

And I'm not convinced Rousseau is dead yet either.

That still was just in the promo for the next episodes. I don't like it, but it does appear to be the case. Lostpedia believes it at the moment as well. I think they'll verify who the Oceanic 6 are in the next podcast just in case anyone still has our doubts.

As far as the promo for this episode - even more misleading. They show a bunch of characters and I'm pretty sure no one we saw appear to die was in that group of characters.

Meanwhile, does the captain know the truth about the staged Oceanic plane or does he just believe what Widmore told him?

Re: Lost: Season Four

According to the timeline, Michael had 14 days between leaving the island and the Others abandoning the barracks (when Ben calls Michael on the boat, he's in his house). Seems like a very short period of time for Michael to have gotten back to civilization, back to America, then the suicide attempts, the recruitment and then the trip to Fiji and a few days on board the boat.
Also, Tom was with The Others for basically every episode they were shown within that time period, so The Others must have had some seriously good transportation on and off the island for him to have gone to New York and back and not miss any episodes

I hope she isn't. The woman has lived for ... what is it... 16 years... by herself on the island and just gets snuffed out in an instant. Sure life can be like that, but something about how she got there, what she's been through, and how she's survived makes me pull for her to get a break more than just about anybody on the island. Remember, time on the island passes a lot slower than it does out here. How long has it been since she was formally introduced to her daughter after all this time? A week or so? And now she's gone? I hope not.

I didn't really get why Walt was living with grandma and not Michael. I don't remember anything about his time on the island that would lead me to understand him being traumatized in a way where he wouldn't want to see his dad. The last we saw, they were really happy to see each other. Then again, we also don't know how the apparitions of Walt fit in with the real Walt. There was something special about him even before he went to the island. We don't know details of that yet. Maybe leaving the island is affecting him negatively (it affected Michael negatively), and we know that in the future, it affects Jack negatively. People who want nothing more than to leave the island seem to want to get back once they do. At least some of them do.

The island prevents Michael from offing himself? Two thoughts come to mind...
1) It's difficult for me to believe Michael would attempt suicide given that his son is still alive and might need/want him at any moment. As a parent, I didn't get that one at all.
2) There's a whole new question about how an island can prevent someone from killing himself.

It's going to be quite a wait, but I'm glad the wait is in one block, then continues until end rather than the sporadic new episode, 2 repeats, new episode, 1 repeat, etc.

Re: Lost: Season Four

Mikah, Walt doesn't want to be with his dad because he found out that he murdered two people. And since his son doesn't want him, Michael wants to end his life.
