Second to Last
Hey my friends/it seems your eyes are troubled/care to share/your time with me?
Well here we are at the end of another season...which, depending on how tomorrow night goes, could be the best season yet....yeah, I said it...even though in the last week or so I had my doubts..but here I am, born again in the bath of light known as LOST....religious connotations aside it has been a good season....
We were introduced to a new feature of flash forwards, as we saw the Oceanic 6 off the island, dealing with life after the escape...But it looks like Jack and Hurley want to go back, Sayid and Sun are in positions of power and Kate and Aaron are trying to live a lie...I look forward to seeing why and how they concoct the lie about the crash and all of that...it seems pretty concise and factual enough to pass the press test...speaking of, tomorrow night at 8, they are replaying the last newest episode and the press ask a few more in depth questions, in an extended cut..make sure to catch that..
We've also seen Benjamin Linus off island, leading an attack against Charles Widmore, in some high stakes game of chess or checkers...whatever island hopping, time traveling old pirates play...yes, I went on record and said Charles Widmore was the captain of the Black Rock and Ben stole the island from him...I guess we'll see how that plays out...I've been wrong so many times before..
And we also found out this season that Locke has been courted by the island for a long time..since birth, apparently..Is he the Chosen One? It would appear so, even though we see Ben in the future, still up to some tricks..it doesn't appear that he's protecting the island anymore but as I said above, he's engaged in some war with Widmore....But does that mean Locke is watching the island? Is he taking care of the islands wishes? Is he taking care of creepy Claire and playing backgammon with Undead Christian Shepard?
And what has happened to our other LOSTIES, Sawyer, Jin and Bernard and Rose? Are they still alive and kicking? Did they go back to New Otherton and rebuild the houses that were shot up and blown up? I would..that little town has running water..beats what bears do in the woods..
And for once, I think the writers did a good job of introducing new characters like Faraday and Charlotte(even though she's a regal pain in the arse)...and that little weirdo Miles, who see dead people...I think these folks are a pleasant addition to the overall story of the show, adding nuances and mystery, as if the show needed more of that...
And last but not least, we saw Desmond make contact with Penny in what I believe to be the best love story on the show....How will that play out? Certainly not by blowing up on a giant boat with the newly returned Michael....time will tell...
I think overall it's been an eventful season...there's still plenty to come and it all goes down tomorrow night !!!!!
As a side note, I've been elbow deep in house projects...as I write this, I'm actually winding down from an insane toilet installation that dang near drove me to the edge of sanity and straight over....the reason I bring this up is because while I want to fulfill my Prez duties, I have to make sure I can do other "duties" in my own home...so if the last update of the season is exactly right after tomorrow night's show, have no fear, we'll get it straight...no worries...
SO enjoy the show!!! You know I will......
Oh yeah..check the link below to watch the flash forwards in chronological order..some one with more time than me did an excellent job of putting that together...

Dream a little dream
Hey LOSTIES!!!!
Tonight is the 1st part of the 3 part season finale, "No Place Like Home"....this is the umpteenth reference to the Wizard of Oz....So is it all a dream? Is Hurley the cowardly Lion or Toto?..Who's Dorothy? Jack?..who knows?
All I know is that I will be front and center tonight at 10PM, eagerly anticipating what promises to be the most amazing season finale of the show so far...
The questions to ask yourself:
Will they succeed in moving the Island?
What is the Orchid Station?
How do the Oceanic 6 actually leave the island?
Why do they all tell a lie?
There will be a "spectacular kiss" in the season finale, but I suspect that will take place at the very end of the finale, but what do I know??
I do know that the person in the coffin will be revealed. And I've heard there will be a...wait for it....another death of a significant character.....I do not know who it is and I do not know what this rumor classifies as a "significant" character....
I also know that I won't be blogging live...I think I shortchanged you guys by posting a slightly weaker blog because I couldn't devote the proper time to it...so I'll take a moment, gather my thoughts and give the people my best...
So that's it for now...Enjoy the show!!!!

And the winner is....
So...here we are..Only 3 hours left of Season 4....just so we're clear, this Thursday is the first hour of the season finale..then they break for a week(!) and come back with the last 2 hours....while we have a chance, let's back track just a bit to last week's episode...
I had a LOT of responses to last week's update...the contributors will have to forgive me if I mix it all together but they were such good points..I'm not trying to pass them as my own but I will write them in the 8th person..kidding, I don't even know how that's possible...I guess I could time travel and have my neighbor's kid write it in the future but that's really me just guessing that might work...I don't really know...anyhoo...
One of our distinguished LFCers wrote to me and suggested that young Locke knew he should have chosen something other than the knife but wanted to be something he wasn't truly, leading Richard to be disgusted...why would Richard want young Locke anyway?? And to ask him which objects were already his?
There is an overwhelming theory floating around the dubya dubya dubya that Richard is actually time travelling himself...here's where you have to pick your battle: is he immortal or is he time travelling?? perhaps, if he's a time traveller, he knows what kind of man Locke is but may be trying to change destiny by getting to Locke at a young age..much like he got to Ben at a young age...
Another submitted theory is that Richard is part of a group who are looking for their next leader....a Dalai Lama if you will...The Dalai Lama is the current incarnation of a Buddhist master...we've already seen Buddhism play a part in this show with the DHARMA initiative and I really like this theory because not only does it make sense, but the writers have also hinted at it...See, the purpose of the Dalai Lama is to continue living, passing on from one physical being to another, in order to help others reach Nirvana...not the cool ass Seattle band so many of us drank and did other recreational things to in college, but actual Nirvana: peace and freedom away from sickness and other "afflicted states"...ed. note: My apologies to any Buddhists reading this...I hope I haven't butchered the essence of your beliefs..
Back to the point...Reaching this heightened enlightenment was the goal of the DHARMA initiative and I think that was their ticket into convincing the original island inhabitants to let them on the island...although once there, they deceived the original islanders and built all their crap and electric fences and thus, they were killed....when the original islanders installed Ben as the new Lama, if you will, he worked to restore their goals again...but all the while he had his own agenda, and that was to help the people carry on by having children...he got lost in that work and even Richard said to Locke back in season 3 that they were tired of Ben wasting time...Now Locke is being groomed, even though it's taken him a while to get there...but I think even Locke has his own agenda..he chose that knife as a child and then was left to become his own man...I think Locke will try to become the hero and do something incredible, against the wishes of the original islanders and Jacob...he appears to be a servant of the very island itself...not answering to one person, but a higher calling....
whew...that's deep, even for me...but I really think that we haven't even scraped the surface of what this show is ultimately about, even though we've seen flashes...it's about destiny and free will..how much control do we really have over either one?
In the event that I don't post again before Thursday night, I want to leave you with a slight spoiler...we have been told that we WILL find out who was in the coffin. Remember the funeral? There were very weird and possibly misleading clues but let's revisit for a moment:
The funeral director asked Jack if he was friend or family. Jack said neither.
There was no one else who attended the funeral.
Kate was almost offended that Jack would even suggest that she go, which tells us that the person wasn't really cared for by her....and she likes everyone..
And the obituary intoned that the person was a male, from New York, who hung themselves and was survived by a teenage son.
Now if the props department can be believed, all signs point to Michael. This isn't the spoiler. I've theorized this with absolutely no proof since the episode aired. The spoiler is that Jack wasn't the only one to attend the funeral...maybe at the point where he showed up, but there was another visitor.....and we will see this act in the season finale, if the rumors are true....or maybe we'll see it in another life....brutha....
Special thanks to DC, Braveheart and Melly Mel for all the inspiration and good comments...
That's all from this peanut gallery..Enjoy the show if I don't blog at you before....
Later

And now a word from our sponsors...
This was sent to me by one of the faithful, Steve O...Enjoy!!!!
ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost."
The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not
16 as previously planned.
ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the WGA strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29.
All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year.
"We were supposed to do 16-16-16," "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two."
Lindelof, however, ruled out the show extending beyond the remaining 34-episode order.
"(Executive producer) Carlton Cuse and I worked so hard to get the show to end that I think to suddenly say, 'Oh, I think we got another season in us' would be a betrayal to everybody involved in the show -- but most of all the audience," he said. "It's better to retire your number at the top of your game."
For the upcoming season finale, Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season.
"The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year," he said.
"Hopefully, this year it's a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show."
Lindelof declined to say whether the flash forwards will continue, but did leave open the possibility of the show's main story line on the island catching up with the flash forwards that have taken place on the mainland this season.
"It's very exciting that the audience is going to be wondering when is the present going to be (next season)," he said. "We've moved backward in time, now we've moved forward in time. The present of the show has always been on the island -- that may not necessarily be the case in the future."
When it comes time to air the series finale in 2010, Lindelof said he and Cuse plan to "go into hiding for many, many months" at an "undisclosed location."
"David Chase set a great example when he went off to Paris after 'The Sopranos' ending, which is great because all these people are going to be asking, 'What does it mean? What is it?' " he said. "The fact that there's no one really around to answer that question, it forces people to come up with what they think it means. We can guarantee our show will not end with a cut to black, it will be more clear than that. But whenever anything you love ends ... there's a certain disappointment."

As it happens...
This is the second time I've ever done this but I have to make up for lost time..or LOST time as it were...Tonight I blog LIVE!!...
Currently it's 9:54 and something angsty and melodramatic is happening on Grey's Anatomy..I know RO, I said those words again, but this is were I am....
This is LOST, According to El Prez, as it happens...
Alright here we go...DANG IT...I picked a bad time to rely on my typing skills...
So there's Emily, John Locke's mom...young and apparently impressionable...her mom says that the dude she's going out with is much older...My guess is that she's referring to the man we've known as Anthony Cooper, Locke's con artist dad...As she ran out, she was hit by a car...at 6 months pregnant..
Now we got Keamy trying to kill Michael and he can't because apparently Mike's work with the island isn't done yet...explain that to the folks on the island who were randomly shot by Keamy...
Commercial...
Horace Goodspeed...find me John...it looks like Horace and the missus built the cabin?? Is Horace Jacob?
Richard Alpert at Locke's hospital..Not the baby's father but what the h-e double hockey sticks is Richard doing at the hospital??? it takes me back to when Locke told Jack that the Island brought them here....This is proof that the people on the plane were definitely chosen....the question is, where they chosen because they've already been through this time loop once? and now there are forces at work that are placing them into the destiny they need to follow?? You can't change destiny
"I used to have dreams"....
drawing of smoke monster in Locke's house..
book of laws..gotta wikipedia that later...
grabbed the knife, Richard was not happy...I guess Locke wasn't really the chosen one...was the same test administered to any of our other LOSTIES?? Are these the type of tests that they made Walt take??
widmore knows where Ben was going...secondary protocol..almost like a script...again, a time loop reference??
Morse code from Daniel going off on Omar's satellite phone...
Mittelos Lab Summer Camp..run by Richard Alpert, looking for young exceptional minds...John Locke is a man of science?? Wants to be somebody he isn't....very interesting...And Locke convinced Hurley that he would still want to travel with them..Ben complimented Locke and Locke was offended...Ben gets last word: No, you're not...
It was also intersting that Ben said that the leader of the DHARMA initiative wanted them to die...wonder why? is it like Star Wars, where when a Jedi dies, he becomes more powerful?? Oh yeah, the DI was inspired by Star Wars...this is Pop Culture Island!!!
Ben has lost his way, his destiny...consequences ...destiny is a fickle bitch....oops, don't read that last part kids...
Locke has met Matthew Abbaddon, I think that's how its spelled....he's the one who plants the walk about idea in Locke's head...
And when they meet again, Locke will owe him one....
Sorry, I really fell behind..We got Desmond staying on the boat after Keamy killed the captain....and what is Keamy wearing on his arm?? My guess? some type of magnetic repellant, in the event that he comes across the smoke monster again...
And now Locke has found the cabin and who's there to greet him? Christian Shepard...and a creepy Claire...But the big news here is that Aaron can't be on the Island...cause people are coming to destroy it? Or because Jacob wants them to "move the Island"???....
Okay..I may have lost my way, like Ben and Locke before him, but I'm here to tell you...I'm all in now baby!!!! Holy Smokes....this show is unbelievable... and then the last scene of Hurley and Ben sharing the candy bar was priceless....
And now, I've rewound the old DVR and am currently freeze framing the previews for next week...there's a scene in which Kate and Sayid have guns drawn on a man in the jungle..and that man looks to be....Richard Alpert....oh man....this just keeps getting better and better and better..."and they're describing you a the Oceanic 6"....the reveal to the world...but how do they keep the island a secret? and why???
Okay...I'm done for now...I need to go back and watch this again and figure out what I just witnessed...I apologize for the poor grammar, the misspellings and the rambling nature of this update...But it's fresh...like warm bread...that doesn't make any sense....oh well...

Where will I be in 2010?
I have to admit…..I’m a little jaded by LOST lately….w-w—w-w-wWhat?!?!? Yeah…I know that’s considered a bit treasonous, for a lack of a better word…I mean, you never hear George Bush say he’s disenchanted by America, right?? Even at the end of his tenure in office…heck, I’ve got 2 more seasons and I’m already feeling a little less glossy about the best show on the planet??
I’m not sure what it is…I think it’s because I feel “rushed”…you know, this season was truncated with the writer’s strike and the fact that the show is going to end soon…I miss the old days of not knowing everything...I know, I know..it’s an embarrassment of riches, right? We’ve always had to wait for answers and now they are giving them to us at a faster clip and I shouldn't’t complain…But I will go on record as saying that I never complained about not getting answers quicker..I’ve always enjoyed the chase of the mystery, the thrill of the hunt..nowadays I think I’ll have a mystery to solve and then they turn around and answer it before the show is over…
So now I’m only left with making up theories and waiting for them to shoot them down…I thought I had Michael pegged at time traveling to get on the boat and was rudely slapped with the reality that he did in fact get on the boat less than 2 months after getting off the island….I went looking for mysteries and deception where in fact there were none….Looking back, I say “in fact” way too much….
But let’s talk about last week’s episode for a second….Jack and Kate together at last!!! But wait…Jack can’t be happy…It’s just not meant to be…it’s either the jealousy or the controlling or the bull headed drive to save everyone..Jack is the stereotypical doctor with the God complex….and I think the island is trying to tell him, guess what, buddy? You ain’t all that..and I think I’ll take your appendix to prove it…There is a huge theory going around that Juliet planted some type of device in Jack so that they could track him once he left the island…this is the type of theory I used to get behind but now, as I mentioned above, it’s most likely not the case…there’s no point..we’ve already seen them track Michael and they didn’t put anything into him…except a ton of remorse…
But there was one element of the show that I found to be the fulfillment of one of my deepest, most self respected theories, in that LOST is a reflection of Star Wars….and this week’s episode provided the biggest moment of foreshadowing of any of the past episodes ever….
If you’ve never read my theory on LOST and how it directly ties into Star Wars, then shame on you…I’m sure it’s logged out there somewhere on the internet highway…most likely it’s gathering dust at rest stop or something…Long theory short, Jack is Luke, Kate is Leia and Sawyer is none other than Han Solo….so maybe you can all see where I’m going with this…What did Jack step on in the kitchen? The Millennium Falcon…and then he let out a Sawyer like “sonuvabitch”…so I knew long before the end when Kate tearily told Jack that she was doing a favor for Sawyer, that the Jack and Kate relationship was over….I'm not saying they are brother and sister but I believe that like Luke, Jack has a greater destiny than just a loving relationship...and Han and Leia were such a better couple...it may have been the lack of the incest thing...but I digress way too much
Now I don’t know for a fact that it’s over but it doesn’t look well…I mean, this is where Jack starts the pill popping road to ruin…and then he grows a beard, which is kind of a slap to Kate, considering she bought him a razor at the beginning of the show…and we’ve already seen how jacked up poor Hurley is…How is Jack going to get back to the island??? He looks crazy and the only person who agrees they need to go back is Hurley, who IS crazy..but he’s really not…we know he sees Charlie in the courtyard of the loony bin and they talk about things…and now Jack is seeing his dad….wasn’t it interesting that the smoke alarm went off and that’s when Jack sees his dad? Is this a blatant reference to the Smoke Monster? We’ve seen Smokey manifest himself in many ways and it’s this humble writer’s opinion that this is just another sign that Jack’s work with the Island is not done…..
And I will lastly note that it’s going to be a real treat to see Sawyer again in the future, along with his current role of protector of Claire, who was seeing things and has now run off into the jungle(once again), this time, following her father, the one and only Christian Shepard...VERY INTERESTING...but we have to assume that Sawyer is still alive and kicking on the island…especially if Kate still feels the need to do favors for him still…..Maybe, just maybe Kate is seeing people from the island as well..maybe Sawyer…aww there I go again..hoping and wishing on yet another theory..:)
That’s all folks….my hope is slowly being restored…I will inspire the nation once again…I’m no lame duck Presidente..

So now I’m only left with making up theories and waiting for them to shoot them down…I thought I had Michael pegged at time traveling to get on the boat and was rudely slapped with the reality that he did in fact get on the boat less than 2 months after getting off the island….I went looking for mysteries and deception where in fact there were none….Looking back, I say “in fact” way too much….
But let’s talk about last week’s episode for a second….Jack and Kate together at last!!! But wait…Jack can’t be happy…It’s just not meant to be…it’s either the jealousy or the controlling or the bull headed drive to save everyone..Jack is the stereotypical doctor with the God complex….and I think the island is trying to tell him, guess what, buddy? You ain’t all that..and I think I’ll take your appendix to prove it…There is a huge theory going around that Juliet planted some type of device in Jack so that they could track him once he left the island…this is the type of theory I used to get behind but now, as I mentioned above, it’s most likely not the case…there’s no point..we’ve already seen them track Michael and they didn’t put anything into him…except a ton of remorse…
But there was one element of the show that I found to be the fulfillment of one of my deepest, most self respected theories, in that LOST is a reflection of Star Wars….and this week’s episode provided the biggest moment of foreshadowing of any of the past episodes ever….
If you’ve never read my theory on LOST and how it directly ties into Star Wars, then shame on you…I’m sure it’s logged out there somewhere on the internet highway…most likely it’s gathering dust at rest stop or something…Long theory short, Jack is Luke, Kate is Leia and Sawyer is none other than Han Solo….so maybe you can all see where I’m going with this…What did Jack step on in the kitchen? The Millennium Falcon…and then he let out a Sawyer like “sonuvabitch”…so I knew long before the end when Kate tearily told Jack that she was doing a favor for Sawyer, that the Jack and Kate relationship was over….I'm not saying they are brother and sister but I believe that like Luke, Jack has a greater destiny than just a loving relationship...and Han and Leia were such a better couple...it may have been the lack of the incest thing...but I digress way too much
Now I don’t know for a fact that it’s over but it doesn’t look well…I mean, this is where Jack starts the pill popping road to ruin…and then he grows a beard, which is kind of a slap to Kate, considering she bought him a razor at the beginning of the show…and we’ve already seen how jacked up poor Hurley is…How is Jack going to get back to the island??? He looks crazy and the only person who agrees they need to go back is Hurley, who IS crazy..but he’s really not…we know he sees Charlie in the courtyard of the loony bin and they talk about things…and now Jack is seeing his dad….wasn’t it interesting that the smoke alarm went off and that’s when Jack sees his dad? Is this a blatant reference to the Smoke Monster? We’ve seen Smokey manifest himself in many ways and it’s this humble writer’s opinion that this is just another sign that Jack’s work with the Island is not done…..
And I will lastly note that it’s going to be a real treat to see Sawyer again in the future, along with his current role of protector of Claire, who was seeing things and has now run off into the jungle(once again), this time, following her father, the one and only Christian Shepard...VERY INTERESTING...but we have to assume that Sawyer is still alive and kicking on the island…especially if Kate still feels the need to do favors for him still…..Maybe, just maybe Kate is seeing people from the island as well..maybe Sawyer…aww there I go again..hoping and wishing on yet another theory..:)
That’s all folks….my hope is slowly being restored…I will inspire the nation once again…I’m no lame duck Presidente..
