Re: Lost -- "Recon" -- 3/16/10

I liked this episode. Then again, I've always found Sawyer to be one of the most interesting characters on this show (next to Ben Linus).

It's obvious the eventual showdown between MiB/Widmore/Team Jacob is going to have causalities. Who those causalities are is the big question.

I smiled when Jin said "that is not Locke." I've been calling him Not-Locke all season.

My cable connection went out briefly!
Sawyer said that he and Kate wouldn't take the jet, they would take Widmore's sub.

I guess Widmore has the secret Black Smoke estinguisher weapon locked up in that room in the sub...

how do you kill a supernatural being and what is the point of having rifles?

Actually, Jack asked him if he had any STDs, which James gave him a look and didnt answer. Jack stated he would take that as a yes. Of course, James then slept with Kate who slept with Jack in return ....

No one ever said they were that smart!

Worst episode of the season so far.

Next week's looks great though, and probably will actually have some answers considering...well, considering what was in the preview.

Also, the "who could it be?" moments in the off-island stories this season are really getting to be comical, especially when it's always completely obvious who it is. Two of them in this episode, gah!

Also, crazy Claire is seriously crazy.

Walt's in the room. It has to be!

Here's the only complaint I have at this point:

I like how they keep mentioning how many episodes are left. I think they're secretly making fun of us at this point. In the last year Darlton must have mentioned that we would get answers throughout the season a million times, and it seems like they arn't telling us jack at this point.

Character after character has appeared on the show in the last 6 years, and every time we saw someone new we would think that character could explain what the hell was going on. Of course not lol. I've waited three years for next weeks episode! If they manage to explain absolutely nothing again, I'm going to be upset!

Re: Lost -- "Recon" -- 3/16/10

At this point, all I want explained before the show ends are these questions:

1. What is the island?
2. Who are Jacob and Mib?
3. Why are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, etc. on the island?
4. What is the ultimate purpose of this whole thing?

I'd be fine with those answers. Given this is an Abrams series, some aspect of the show will remain a mystery.

I was hoping that Sawyer and Juliet were going to have that coffee this episode.

Well, Sawyer did work for Dharma for a few years. He might have picked up a thing or two.

Re: Lost -- "Recon" -- 3/16/10

This wasn't a great episode, but I did like the brief Widmore scene. I'm glad he's back as it ups the ante a little bit for control of the island. How DOES he know about fake Locke?

My guess is he does have some sort of way for killing him. He certainly appears confident that he's going to be able to gain control back of the island.

I am really looking forward to next week since we'll finally get Richard's back story. He is definitely the most intriguing character imo. Good to see that he'll get some major screen time next Tuesday.

Since I hate Claire so much, I was hoping Locke was going to slap her about 5 more times. But that 1 big slap certainly put a smile on my face.

Was I the only one that thought it would have been better if Juliet was the one running away from the cops, not Kate?

Re: Lost -- "Recon" -- 3/16/10

I am no longer surprised or interested in anything that happens in the flash-sideways. They are simply dipping into their cast of characters and throwing them into the mix to get a reaction (oooo...there's Jack in the hospital...whoa, Miles and Sawyer are partners!) But I suppose it's just a what-if story and it doesn't have to make sense.

Pretty boring, though I always like Terry O'Quinn. I do feel bad however that he's not getting to end the series as Locke, but instead as this boring "bad guy" thing. His character deserved to make it to the end.

Yeah, same here. But instead he hooked up with the kid from Mask. Hopefully he hooks up with Juliet later on in the season.

I liked the episode. It seem like Widmore want the island all to himself.

It's not to just get a reaction. It's to show that there was always an overall destiny for these characters, whether they crashed on the island or they never crashed on the island. In that time line they never crashed, but they had a destiny in some way either way and we are seeing how that plays out.

Re: Lost -- "Recon" -- 3/16/10

It was a really enjoyable episode, but when it ended the first thing I said outloud was 'this was it?'

There were no mysteries even attempted to really be addressed, of course, and the episode was good but not one of the greatest this season. Overall, I enjoyed it but think that things could be even better for the show and am curious how it is possible it is going to end to just a few weeks from now.

the flash-sideways stories are starting to resemble fan-fiction. I guess next week we'll see Richard Alpert meet up with, oh, I don't know (pulls a name out of a hat)...Boone.

I laugh even though I thought she looked hot.
