Ah! Season 4 of LOST is coming to an end. It seems like only yesterday I was watching the season premiere with my bud Sarah, (sans our wizard costumes Stephen) ... haha. All in all it's shaping up to be a great season ... and although last night wasn't one of my faves, it was still very interesting. Let's get on with it then, shall we?
FLASH FORWARD
The Oceanic 6 are being transported on a military plane back to a base on Hawaii. They are waiting to land while a representative for Oceanic tells them that they are a big deal and that there is a ton of press waiting to talk to them. Jack agrees that they will talk to the world and reassures the rest of the Oceanic 6 that they will stick with their story and not answer any questions they don't have the answer to. He tells them to blame it on being shocked to which Sun agrees that they all are actually in shock. The plane lands and when the back opens, the Oceanic 6 run to their families. Jack to his mom, Hurley to his entire family, Sun to her parents, and the rest have no relatives to greet them. They attend the press conference where Kate is asked about her pregnancy. She claims to have given birth to Aaron on the island, making her six months pregnant when she crashed. They also claimed that the plane landed in the water and they waded for a day until the current carried them to shore. Everyone else died on impact. After the press conference, Sayid is greeted by Nadia. The Oceanic 6 remain friends after the crash. They attend Hurley's Island themed surprise birthday party where his father gives him the car they've been working on since they were kids. Hurley freaks out when he gets in the car and the speedometer has the numbers from his past. We also see the Oceanic 6 attend Jack's father's funeral where he says goodbye to his father and is approached by a blond Australian woman. She tells Jack that Christian was the father to her child and that her child, Claire, was also on board flight 815 and died. Jack is stunned by the revelation that Claire is his sister and Aaron his nephew. Back in Korea, Sun's father is upset that a shareholder has purchased parts of his company using five separate banks. Sun comes in to see him and he asks about the baby. She tells him never to ask since he hated her husband. She also informs him that with her large settlement from the crash, she is the one who purchased his company and that they are now partners.
BEN & CO.
Locke, Hurley, and Ben continue through the jungle towards the station the Orchid to move the island. Following Ben, he travels to a secret place where he uses a mirror to communicate with someone to see if it is safe to continue on to the Orchid. Ben reassures Locke and Hurley that he always has a plan. When they reach it, they find that Keamy and his team have already arrived. Panicked, Ben tells Locke exactly what to do in the Orchid station to move the island. He then gives himself up to Keamy and his team. They knock Ben unconscious.
THE BEACH
Jack and the others wonder about the satellite phone that was dropped from the helicopter. When they turn it on, they can overhear Keamy's conversation. They realize Desmond and Sayid were not on the chopper but Kate and Jack, despite Juliet's protests, travel into the jungle after it. They run into Miles and Sawyer who is holding Aaron. He tells them how Claire just left and they spent a day looking for her. Kate takes Aaron back to the beach while Sawyer and Jack continue on. Kate returns to the beach to give Aaron to Sun and she and Sayid who has reached the beach run off after Jack and Sawyer. Daniel takes about six people, Sun and Jin included back to the boat. Kate and Sayid try to track Jack and Sawyer only to realize that they are being tracked by Richard Alpert and the others. Jack and Sawyer reach the Orchid station. Back on the boat, the first of the survivors reach and Sun and Jin are surprised to see Michael working on the boat. He tries to tell them that he is not working for Ben and he's trying make up for what he did when Desmond calls to him to come to the engine room. There they find tons of explosives.
On to the discussion. Also, add your comments, I get bored just reading what I wrote.
1. So I truly thought that the end of the series would be the rescue, but I guess with the invention of the flash forward, we realized that their lives post island would be just as important as pre-island. My guess is that we will still visit the losties stuck on the island and see more of an attempt from the Oceanic 6 to get back to the island, perhaps the finale even being that they get back to it. But despite that, the rescue scene was awesome. It kind of gave me chills. What a weird situation that would be. It was very tender when they were all reunited with their families.
2. So the scene where Jack found out about Claire wasn't what I was expecting. I was hoping somehow Sawyer would connect the two .. but that was an intense scene. I guess that becomes the reason why he and Kate don't work out at first. I'm so sad it didn't happen while he was on the island ... maybe something happens where she comes back from Jacob's crew and Jack urges her to stay or something so now he feels guilty. Also, I'm a little surprised we didn't see any tears, I thought for sure his dad's funeral and realizing he left his sister behind and gave his nephew to Kate would conjure some up for sure!
3. Keamy is really scary. And when I saw him at the Orchid station I jumped. Speaking of the Orchid station, it's a greenhouse but not really? Obviously there would be an underground facility. And why didn't Ben just move the island in the first place. Yeah yeah it's dangerous but I'm pretty sure it's been dangerous the whole time. So now Locke has to move the island, I won't even try to guess how he will do that.
4. It was sort of mean for Hurley's mom to pick an island theme for his birthday. I think he spent enough time out there. But lots of easter eggs (LOST clues) in this episode. Geronimo Jackson music at the party, they were on the island for 108 days, the numbers on Hurley's dashboard.
5. Sooo no one else thinks it's weird that Kate was supposed to be 6 months preggers before she got on the plane? Hello, the marshall was with her! I'm sure he would have informed his team that she was pregnant. I think this will end badly for Kate. Someone is going to realize this and take Aaron away. I wouldn't be too upset if we never saw Aaron again, does that make me a bad person?
6. So Sun and Aaron are on the boat. And the rest of the Oceanic 6 are back traipsing around the island. So how do they all meet up again and get off the island? Maybe Sun and Aaron are the only people on the boat to make it off after Michael finally does blow it up and the others find her? Highly unlikely I think ... but maybe they volunteer to go back once they all meet up again because it is the least attractive option. Like staying on the island is better because Lock will move it but Sun goes back to have her baby, Kate goes back for Jack and Aaron, and Sayid because he is awesome.
7. So Michael tries to prove to Sun and Jin that he's sorry and he's there to help. Nice try but I wouldn't ever trust him. Ugh I just hate Michael. And give me a break that he acts all surprised about the explosives, that's the whole reason he's on the boat. To blow it up!
8. Yay Richard Alpert and the others are back! Its weird to think how scared I was of them in seasons 1 and 2 and now I'm happy to see them. Perhaps Ben was right, he is one of the good guys, but that's yet to be determined. So what is the secret to Richard's agelessness? I think he'll help Kate and Sayid because everyone except Keamy has the same goal, to protect the island from being blown up. So maybe they'll all swoop in to the Orchid station, destroy Keamy and his crew and save Jack, Sawyer, Ben, etc.
9. Ben is awesome. When he told John he always has a plan I totally believe that. Who was it that he was flashing the mirror to? Jacob? It couldn't be Richard and the other others because they were near Kate who was at least an hour behind. So I guess the only answer is Jacob. It would be interesting if we find out this season who he is. I heard we find out this season who is in the coffin ... I'll stick with Locke. He's gonna turn uber bad at the end. Either him or Ben.
10. So Sun was kick ass in this episode. Her father ruined her and Jin's life so she is returning the favor. So looks like Jin won't be returning to her post island but she can vindicate that by controlling her father and her company. Now that's some vengence but still very awesome.
So looks like we have to wait two weeks for the big Keamy vs. Ben vs. Jack and co. for the big Orchid show down. I'm clearly rooting for Jack and his hotness and it should be awesome. So next week I don't think there is an episode unless they play the first hour of the finale and then repeat it the following week before the hour closer. So if there is a new episode next week I'll be here for another update!
Okay now I'm demanding you all to post your theories ... I hate being the only one!
