LOST Recap

LA X

I've been running around like a crazy person all morning, so I really don't have the time I really want/need in order to fully commit to my recap. I will say that I'm still not sure how I felt about the show. Parallel universe? Kinda predictable. I guess that's what needs to be done though. I'm wondering how they will bring it all together {will their worlds collide?} I'm excited to find out.

I do have to admit to you that this pregnancy has really impacted my ability to stay up until 11pm, for any reason... especially to watch LOST.

I always DVR the show and then start watching my DVR'd version 15 minutes later for every hour that the show is on. Because last night was from 8-11pm and was 3 hours long, I should have technically started watching it at 8:45pm. Yeah... I couldn't wait that long. By 8:30 I was getting restless and had to start it. Which means that by 10:30ish I caught up to "real time" and could no longer fast forward through the commercials. Well that just put me over the edge.

I fell asleep.

I did. I'm embarrassed to admit it. So when I woke up at 10:55pm, I had to rewind to where I last remember seeing it and watch from there.

I fell asleep again.

Yep, it's the truth. So, to sum it up... it took me 25 minutes and FOUR tries {yes, I fell asleep 4 times} to watch the last 10 minutes of the show. But I did get through it.

But back to the recap....

Okay, like I said, I don't have time to commit to a full recap, but I will tell you my thoughts on the show last night.

• I think Jacob is now Sayid. That's why Jacob sent Hurley to the Temple.
• I think the new "others" {The Temple Dwellers?} and Richard were from the Black Rock. And that water is keeping them from aging.
  
• That might explain why Fake Locke {Flocke} came straight out of the statue and punched Richard as soon as he saw him. He also said "it's good to see you without your chains, Richard" which leads me to believe that Richard came over on the Black Rock. {Remember when Jacob and his Nemesis were sitting on the beach watching the Black Rock come to the island... Jacob seemed glad they were coming, while the Nemesis did not. Hence him punching Richard.}
• Jacob is the leader of the Temple Dwellers.
• I think that the paper the Temple Dwellers read had a list of everyone that Jacob had spoken too/touched before. That's why they asked everyone for their name {to compare it to the names on the list. We all know Jacob likes making lists.}
  
• I think that Sawyer will try to go get Juliet and put her in that water. Not sure if this will work though because technically Sayid was still alive when he went in. Maybe it just saves lives, it doesn't bring people back??
• Clearly Flocke is the smoke monster and Jacob's nemesis/ the man in black. He tells Ben "I'm sorry you had to see me that way."
  
• I think that the island never existing from 1977 on, has obviously altered the lives of the people on the plane. Let's see....

1. Hurley now considers himself "lucky"
2. Shannon never got on the plane... she stayed with her boyfriend.
3. Desmond was on the plane. {Perhaps Jack recognized him from running on the steps. Although at that point, Desmond was training for sailing around the world which he may have never done?? He certainly would never have been stuck on the island because it didn't exist past 1977.}
   
4. Walt & Michael? Where were they?
   

• I'm not sure how they're going to work in Christian's body never getting on the plane.
• I think they are hinting to the fact that the Oceanic crew will be intertwined regardless of if the plane crashes. {i.e. Jack gives Locke his card to fix his spine/ Kate and Claire end up in the same cab leaving the airport, etc.} I'm interested to see how the "2004/plane never crashed" scenarios play out.
• Then there's the whole thought process of what does and does not exist now that the island blew up in 1977?? For example: if Ben was on the island as a young lad in 1977, then he would have died when the bomb went off, right? Meaning that in this alternate/parallel universe that is 2004, Ben would no longer exist. It hurts my head just thinking about all the possibilities.
  

And after writing this entire recap, you know what I got out of it? I can't spell Nemesis.
