Well what did everyone think of the first two episodes of Lost?
While I enjoyed both the first episode was easily better then the second.
The first 12 minutes of this season were some of the most intense openings ever.
First we see that Dr. Chang has some made game as he is sleeping with some weird nose looking girl. Upon taping a orientation video he goes to the orchid station to confront a problem. On the way back he bumps into a random Dharma construction worker, oh wait ofmg it’s not just some random extra it’s Daniel Faraday.
Wow right of the bat the crazy cliff hanger, then the cut to the island where apparently they are stuck in time.
I find the whole time moving thing very interesting and while it can get a bit confusing I believe the writers are handling this quite well.
Off the island Jack, Ben, and Locke’s dead body are off to reunite the band “Oceanic six” for they can play their gig at the island.
The whole Sayid and Hurley scenes were amazing. I love Sayid’s amazing sick nasty moves he even threw a guy on some clean knives in the dish washer amazing. Also Hurley’s jokes were spot on.
Anyway the island people are just chilling when all of a sudden they are under attack by flaming spears.
Frogurt dies but he was the best inside joke ever! R.I.P.
I kinda was dosing off but some people not sure if they were others I guess captured Juliet and Sawyer but Locke came and killed them.
Off the island Ben runs into Miss. Hawking who is no longer guiding Desmond with lessons of how the universe has a way to course correct it’s self but is now making sandwiches. She say’s she found the island but they only have a certain amount of time to return.
Problem is Hurley is not in jail.
Oh and Daniel told on island Desmond to find his mom and Desmond woke up realizing it wasn’t a dream but a memory. Very good stuff.
So yeah I love the first 40mins very action packed and very fast paced. It kind slowed off towards the end but that was kinda expected after such a fast start.
Richard had a good amount of air time which made me content.
I’m looking forward to how they scope out this island moving storyline and I was hoping they would go back to when the island first started but that didn’t happen. Still might though.
Anyway yay! Lost is back. What did everyone else think?

I loved both episodes. I marked out when Dr. Chang's face was shown for the first time.
Sayid was a killing machine for all 3 minutes he was concious in the first hour.
Neil became one of the greatest Lost characters just as quickly as he died.
I'm still now sure how they're gonna explain the Locke dilemma...
Oh and also..."Well, you heard 'er." Best Lost line ever.

Oh and also..."Well, you heard 'er." Best Lost line ever. I don't remember that; might've been when I was dosing off. When was that said and by whom?

Hurley to a then-incapacitated Sayid after he spoke to the ghost of Ana Lucia.

Oh yeah, lol that was great. Also, the scene where Hurley threw the hot pocket at Ben was one of my favorite scenes on the show...

Yeah, that was great as well. Hurley was very good in those two episodes.

lol. I simply can't stand Hurley anymore. Would it have killed him to lose some weight this year? I mean really it's meant to be 3 years in the future- lose some weight already. It's because of your fat ass that Sawyer is stuck on the island.
Also he's so annoying with his "I'm crazy! Put me in the mental hospital! Arrest me!" I wanted to give him a Randy Orton style punt to the face during the last episode when Ben tries to take him back to the island and instead Hurley gets himself arrested. His smug face to Ben as he was getting arrested as if to say "Yeah, take this Ben. I'm the man!" was unbearable. I hope he goes to jail and gets assraped by T-Bag.

Just saw the 3rd episode.
Best one ever!
You know what? I wish there could be more episodes without Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and of course Ben as this was incredible!
There were so many times when I was like "omg!" the biggest being the reveal of Charles Widmore. Now that was brilliant. Something tells me that Daniel was speaking to his own mother on the island too, which I loved. I am sure his mum is Mrs. Hawkings now.
I also found it fantastic how Locke told Richard when he was being born and that is why Richard is at the birth. It also explains the scene where Richard showed him all the objects when he was young and said "one of these belongs to you"- you should have picked the compass John!
I do fear for Penny's life...she's walking right towards Ben. Oh dear god. Why the fuck didn't Charles tell Desmond to beware of Ben....why the fuck does NOBODY talk to eachother!
Charlotte can't die! That would be horrible.
Yeah, best episode ever. Or at least the best since Season 3.

Another great episode this week!
Yeah the end was predictable, but still brilliant. I marked out when Locke asked if anybody spoke French. Perhaps they should have edited the scene with Danielle and the one where Locke asks that question better so there isn't such a long gap between the time you know the Frenchies are there and the time it's officially revealed.
The other big surprise being that Jin is alive. That's cool...but they spoilt it by having his fucking name in the cast! Let's hope Sun doesn't kill everybody out of redundant revenge. I am not sure why Ben is trying to take away Aaron. Was that just to get Kate to meet him?
I am worried about the people on the island. I don't want Charlotte, Miles or Juliet to die I like them all. Btw I was thinking a bit more about the last episode where Daniel met that woman named Elle who I guessed was his mother AND who is Ms Hawkings. Now I think it definitely is. It makes perfect sense as she knows all about time travel too which she probably got into because of Daniel and he then in turn learnt from her...
But what about Miles and Charlotte's parents? Some people think that one of them, or both, will be that Dharma guy's chid. Dr. Chang/Hollowax/Wick/Candle. What do you think about it? Miles hinted that Charlotte was born on the island and this time Daniel hinted that Miles was there before and we already know that Daniel was. Could it be that they were all born on the island? Perhaps Charlotte is the daughter of Ben's childhood sweetheart Annie.

Ok, well apparently every show of lost from here on out will have intense omfg moments. So I will start announcing them. Clearly this is like HUGE spoilers so don't peek unless you are caught up.....
So here it is, this weeks omfg moments...........
Daniel told Charlotte to leave the island when she was a little girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!
&
Daniel's mom is the weird lady that does stuff under the church.....
Man lol, two great bombshells. Although one was pretty much already guessed.....
EDIT: Oh I forgot, Charlotte died after the stupidest last line ever to go out on....

Well the spoilers weren't as big as you said. We already knew that the lady was Daniel's mother two episodes ago.
The other one as fairly big but I saw it coming. Charlotte shouldn't have died. That pissed me off big time.
It felt like a filler episode to me.

So after what felt like another filler episode last week Lost returned to form.
I really enjoyed this week seeing Locke off the island talking to everyone trying to get them back, including Locke (maybe the writers haven't forgotten that he should have been on the plane?) and reminding us of Walt's psychic powers.
I am getting tired of the whole "Ben is evil!" "No I'm not, Widmore is!" "Lies! Just look at Ben's evil bug eyes!" back and forth bitching between the two series bad guys. I dunno if Widmore is evil or not, but Ben clearly is. If they explain in the finale episode that Ben isn't bad at all I will fucking riot.
Also I have a really bad feeling that Jack, Hurley and Kate will be in one time frame, Sawyer, Daniel, Miles, Juliet and Jin in another with Sun, Locke, Frank and our two new characters in another. That would be VERY, VERY confusing! Not sure where Sayid is yet.
This season needs to step up a gear now.

So far in season five I thought every episode was good. However, the 3rd episode was the only one I really enjoyed watching. Well until last nights....
Last night's episode from start to finish was simply perfect. So they are finally done moving through time and have stopped at the second best time period (first would've been that 5 second flash they had where they were way back in time with that huge statue).
I love how they are all in Dharma jumpers and everything was just explained so well.
Finally Richard is back on the show and man was he great. Every scene he's in he's badass and when he slammed that torch on the ground and just stood outside was great. I loved how Sawyer told Richard of the bomb and the look on Richard's face was priceless.
I also enjoyed the scene where Faraday saw Charlotte as a little girl. It obviously explains why Charlotte saw Daniel when she was younger. This also explains why Daniel was in the opening bit of season 5.
I had a feeling Sawyer and Juliet were going to get involved with each other and apparently I was right.
I thought Sawyer was completely over Kate when he was talking about how he totally moved on and can't even remember what she looked like anymore. Of course that lead to the very end of this weeks episode.. The end of the episode was amazing though when everyone walked out of the van and sawyer saw Kate for the first time.
What an episode by lost this week, well done...

I didn't like it...
The plot has just stood still. NOTHING has happened in 3 episodes since Locke tuned the frozen donkey wheel. 1 episode showing Jack, Kate etc coming back to the island for reasons we don't know. 1 episode showing Locke talking to them all which we all knew happened already and now 1 episode where fuck all happened!
It was obvious that once they were stuck in time that Daniel would speak to Charlotte and that he would end up working for Dr. Hallowax and how Daniel/Miles/Juliet/Sawyer were all badly affected by the time travel due to the fact they had been there for years. We didn't need a whole episode devoted to it though.
Also where the fuck are Rose, Bernard and the rest of the plane crash survivors? Have they spent the last 3 years with the Hostiles? That could be interesting.
Best moment of the episode BY FAR was the reveal of the statue. We'd seen the infamous four toed remain of it before but this was the whole thing. I marked out when they showed it. I was saying to myself "please let it be the statue they are looking at. PLEASE!........ YES!!!!" I had visions of the Wicker man when I saw it. I dunno what that statue is but it does NOT look good.
I think the statue and seeing 24's Michelle Dessler back on my TV saved this episode. The NEXT one should be really good, but we will probaly get to see 3 years in the life of Vincent instead. 3 years in the life of Joop would be INCREDIBLE! Vincent? Not so much.
Btw I love Miles. They way he pokes fun at the show's plot is hilarious.
"The beach? What, you didn't get enough flaming arrows shot at you? Or maybe when we get there, you'll want to go back to the Orchid again, and then when that gets boring we can head back to the beach. It's the only two plans you people have."
Loved Sawyer's eye-liner quip about Richard too.
So who do you think Horrace Goodspeed's son is? I was sure it was going to be a girl and be Charlotte but it's a boy. Hmmmm. If they name the boy Jacob I will freak out.
