Meet Kevin Johnson (S4:E8)

Did Danielle get a DUI at some point? How about Karl? Ana Lucia, Libby and Jin got DUIs, and they all got killed off (sorta in Jin’s case). Anyway…it was nice to see Michael back in the fold. Nobody forgot that he left the island, and this was one of the loose ends that needed to get some attention. Also, not sure who was in the window, but it certainly wasn’t giant Walt.

1) I’m beginning to like the fact that it takes a bit before we can confirm whether we’re watching a flashback, flashforward, both, neither, etc. While last night was a flashback, it was a little hard to tell, at first, how far back they had gone until Michael spoke to his mother. As we’ve seen in the past, Michael tries to stand up to his mother, but she’s stronger than he is. It’s also ironic that Walt is now with Michael’s mother, as in one of Michael’s early flashbacks, he was on the phone with his mother and asked if she would take Walt.

2) Michael sees Libby, but he doesn’t see Ana Lucia. Either way, the question right now is, are those just random guilt-ridden hallucinations? Or, is it Libby trying to contact him, much like Charlie visiting Hurley near the Ho-Ho’s or at the Mental Hospital?

3) Early in season 3, Kate said that she wasn’t going to undress herself in front of him, and he replied with, “Don’t worry, you’re not my type”. Well, now we know what his type is. Meet Arturo. I wonder if Arturo has any clue what Tom is caught up in. Maybe he’s one of the Others. Does he know Tom is dead?

4) So, now the Island decides when you can or can’t die? Tom told Michael that the island won’t let him die. The gun jammed. Who knows? Maybe the pawn shop owner sold Michael a gun with a filed off firing pin. We’ll see what happens when Sawyer gets a hold of Michael. Will the island save him then?

5) Michael traded Mr. Paik’s watch (which Jin gave him) for a gun and some bullets. He was about to trade it for $300. Pretty sure if Jin finds out, he’ll actually kill Michael, as he didn’t finish the job when he wanted to kill Michael over the watch in season one.

6) Now Michael is one of the “Good Guys”? I don’t know. He was going to kill everyone on the boat. Has Michael ever been a good guy? He’s always kinda looked out for himself, even when it meant giving up Walt to be raised by another (it’s arguable, he was also allowing Walt a better life). At least now we know who sabotaged the communications equipment and why the engines won’t work. The question I have now is, has Michael had anything to do with those that have already died on the boat? Did he get into Regina’s head? Did he convince her to jump off the boat bound in the chains?

7) One of several cliff-hangers will be what Captain Gault does upon Sayid spilling the beans about Michael. I was waiting for him to say something like, “I already knew, because I’m working for Ben Linus too.”

8) Speaking of Sayid, he got a little PO’ed about Michael working for Ben. Which is ironic, because Sayid himself ends up working for Ben, as seen in his flashforward “The Economist” earlier this season.

9) Did Ben know, upon giving directions for Rousseau, Karl and Alex to go to the Temple, that
Rousseau and Karl would be killed? Somehow, I think he may have planned that. Actually, Karl might be dead, but I’m not so sure about Rousseau.

10) During the game show on the TV in Michael’s apartment, Kurt Vonnegut is the answer to one of the questions. His book “Slaughterhouse Five” has some similarities to LOST and its characters

11) From Lostpedia: The song playing in the car when Michael tries to kill himself is "It's Getting Better" by Cass Elliot, who also recorded "Make Your Own Kind of Music". “Make Your Own Kind of Music” is a song that has been in several episodes, which is a song dealing with making your own fate.

Alright…well here’s our little one month hiatus. Can’t wait for the new episodes. There will be five more episodes this season.

Ji Yeon (S4:E7)

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

(from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner)


Definitely a better episode than last week. But…but…Jin dies?!?!?!? WTF!!! His English was getting so good. I did like the use of flashbacks and flashforwards as a means to throw us off from the end of the episode.

1) So we get the final two of the Oceanic 6. Or do we? Jack (in the courtroom in “Eggtown”) said that there were 8 survivors of the crash. Could Jin, now that we know he’s in the “next life”, be one of the two that don’t make up the Oceanic 6? But what was the deal with Hurley asking if anyone else is coming? I’m starting to get this strange feeling…and I could be way off…that everyone knows, just as well as Sayid, that Ben is still lurking around.

2) What’s with Regina reading a book upside down? Last week, on Lostpedia, someone mentioned that the episode “The Other Woman” reminded them of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (click here to see the poem, or click here to see the Wikipedia page). Vozzek69 from DarkUFO mentioned that this episode resembled the poem. Which I agree a little more with (I chose not to mention the poem in last week’s notes). The poem is about a mariner who goes on a voyage at sea and the mishaps, and at one point the despair when they are stuck. It is eerily reminiscent of what Regina does when she binds herself in chains and jumps off the boat (which may or may not be moving) or the gruesome bloodstain on the wall (which was also reminiscent of Radzinsky’s blood in the hatch). ***BTW…Kudos to Vozzek69 from DarkUFO. While I don’t like everything he puts into his analysis, there are some times where he comes up with some thoughts that are great.***

3) The book Regina was reading upside down is titled “The Survivors of the Chancellor”. Credit a poster on Lostpedia for this description of the book “…a novel by Jules Verne about the last voyage of the British ship Chancellor. In the novel, at the beginning of its voyage, the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members. By the end, only eleven people (five passengers and six crew) remained alive.”

4) So Captain Gault (the one they’re not supposed to trust) spills the beans (not just Lima Beans) to Sayid and Desmond (or so we are led to think). Could Ben really be capable of faking the crash or gathering the dead bodies? I mean…he has gassed a lot of people, but who knows. The black box should be interesting. But, it just seems a bit much to me that they even have the black box from that trench in the ocean.

5) Meet Kevin Johnson. He’s not just a janitor. He’s Michael. Any surprise? No, but it was a cool scene no matter how much one anticipated it. Did Desmond and Sayid do a good enough job of pretending they don’t know him?

6) Juliet doesn’t know who she’s messing with. Sun is the one that poisoned Michael’s water to keep Jin from going on the boat in season one. Juliet better think twice before airing Sun’s dirty laundry. However, this exchange gave us the scene with Bernard and Jin on the boat together, where they have the marriage conversation. I loved the part where Bernard realized what he’d just interrupted. That kind of scene never gets old.

7) Did anyone notice Nikki’s bad acting in her death scene in the show ‘Expose’ which was on TV in the background in Sun’s flashforward?

8) This is the second time that someone has referred to a dead person in a flashforward. First there was Jack asking his “colleague” to bring his father down from his office to see who’s more wasted. Now there was Sun calling for Jin while in labor.

9) On Jin’s Tombstone, it says Sept 22, 2004. The day of the plane crash. So maybe, Jin isn’t even one of the 8. In fact, I’m wondering if Jin’s death might even be a ruse and he’s still on the island. Sun says that she misses him, at the grave site. Could Jin still be alive? Then again, why would Hurley show up to see a grave. There is a possibility of an interesting spin here.

10) Again…going to directly quote Vozzek69’s stuff here, because this theory was definitely one worth mentioning. Click the link and read the part titled “Course Correction, Jake Gyllenhaal, and my own Wild Conjecture”

The Other Woman (S4:E6)

I could have used the sleep. Especially while trying to get over this bronchitis (TMI?). What did this episode REALLY tell us? That it's all about Juliet. ZZZZZZZZZZ

We also see that Ben is still somewhat in charge, regardless of his situation, much like when he was held in the hatch. But, please...did anyone get fooled into thinking Juliet was part of the Oceanic 6 up until Tom opened the door to the house?

1) Juliet seems to be a woman who attracts MANY men...Goodwin, Ben, Jack. If she could be as manipulative as women are made out to be on screen, she could be running that whole island. If she could be half as manipulative as Ben is with Locke...ugh...it's rather disappointing. She's also stepping on Kate's foot there, as she did with Harper.

2) In Ben's case, what did Harper mean when he said the Juliet looks like "her"? Ben once told Juliet that he chose her to deal with Jack because she resembled Jack's wife. Dude...Puh-lease tell me that Jack's wife didn't leave him for Ben. PUH-LEASE!!!! Maybe he means his mother, but that's kinda....blekh!!! What about the little girl Ben knew as a child, Annie?


3) Ben mentions that Juliet is getting along well with Zack and Emma (the two kids stolen from Eko and the Tailies back in Season 2). Does Juliet have a bond with them? Would she be willing to leave the island without them?


4) I liked the part where Ben asked if the rabbit had a number on it. Did anyone catch the Orchid Station Orientation video? Or see my post on it? You can see the video on the 3rd season DVDs.

5) Took this one from Lostpedia about the Tempest: "The name of the DHARMA station comes from the play written by William Shakespeare, which was first published in 1623. It tells the story of the sorcerer Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who are stranded on a mysterious desert island that has mystical properties. Prospero raises a storm, or tempest, which causes a passing ship containing his enemies to run aground. Using magic, spirits and a man-beast creature named Caliban, he separates and manipulate the survivors of the wreck for his own purposes. The play ends with Prospero restored to his former glory."

6) Did Ben want Ethan to die too? Is that why he sent Ethan? This theory now has potential.

7) Why do I get the feeling that Charles Widmore is the Economist? Eh...that was too easy. However, we got to see what we've been expecting. Widmore is behind the boat. So it's not Penny's boat. It's her daddy's. But, she calls the boat?!?!? Let's connect some dots. Charles Widmore wants to find Ben. He hires Matthew Abbadon to get a team together. He hired Naomi and the other misfits. What if Penny got to Naomi somehow? Naomi had a picture of Desmond and Penny in her book. I doubt Charles Widmore cares about Desmond enough to go find him like that. Oy vey!!! My head is spinning.

8) By the way...any doubt that Harper, seen in the jungle by Jack and Juliet, was the black smoke?

9) I won't give the name of the next episode, for those that don't want any spoilers...as it pretty much gives away who the next episode is about.

That's all for now folks. Maybe we can come back to this one after a future episode gives it some greater value.
