Now that I’ve seen all of both seasons — and do not read if you haven’t seen all of season two.
I was just getting to the point that Ana-Lucia was my favorite character, and they killed her off.
Am I the only one who had no use for Michael? I was not surprised by his betrayal, and I can only hope he never reappears on the show. And speaking of me being the only one, am I the only one who finds Jack to be more than a little annoying, and thinks he needs to be knocked down a couple of hundred pegs?
If you’ve read the season 3 spoilers (use google), then you know that Desmond, Locke, and probably Mr. Eko aren’t dead and will be back. Actually, that was kind of obvious from the very end of the season 2 finale, when we saw whatshername, Desmond’s girlfriend.
Speaking of, what was that first electromagnetic anomaly they had found? Was that when Desmond didn’t punch in the numbers in time and the electromagnetic burst crashed the plane?
Desmond said to Locke, “What if you have it backwards? What if the psychological lab rats were the observers?” and it became clear to me that he was correct when Jack, Hurley, Kate and Sawyer found the pneumatic tubes. What surprised me was the electromagnetic burst thing, and that it brought down the plane on the island.
We saw the guy Desmond replaced in the hatch is now one of The Others. I suspect The Others are what’s left of the nutball hippie Dharma Project. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. They’re on a mission, they feel entitled to do what they like to further whatever it is they’re doing, they mesh with nutball hippie Dharma wacks.
One pattern throughout the show has been that any weird thing one of the characters saw, others also saw: Kate’s black horse, the polar bears, and so forth. The one exception was Hurley’s friend Dave (and the slipper). Then, we saw Libby in the mental hospital. I had started to wonder if Dave was right, and Hurley was still in the hospital and perhaps this was a delusion, but reading those season 3 spoilers kind of blew that out of the water. Apparently, they’re going to flesh out Libby in flashbacks, and explain why she was in the mental hospital. We’ll see.
Speaking of season 3 spoilers, what’s wrong with people? Apparently, the writers are going to introduce romance in response to people who want to see it. Nix the romance. It will kill the show. Only fluff-brained teen-magazine-reading idiots want to see Kate hook up with Jack or Sawyer.
Before I saw the end of the season 2 finale, I couldn’t understand why The Others wanted Hurley, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. Hurley made sense, I thought, because of the numbers, but Hurley is the one The Others sent back — and they kept the other three. So I have no idea about that now.
The smoke-monster-security-system thing. It only appears in certain areas. I think it’s guarding something they haven’t found.
Okay, the four-toed foot. That was bizarre, almost an X-Files moment (and that’s not meant in a positive sense).
Speaking of X-Files moments, as in flying by the seat of your pants and having no idea where the story is going overall, reading the spoilers for next season has given me the first feeling the writers are descending into this. They’re brining back the polar bears. Okay, how, then, do you fit that with the whole Walt and the comic book (and dead bird) thing — that was underscored by The Others’ interest in Walt, and all that “very special child” nonsense? It’s a good show. The last thing we need is for it to turn into some Chris Carter crap, with no coherence and no answers, just questions and screwball conspiracy nonsense.
