5.16&17: The Incident pts. 1&2

Robetron had it right in the last post's comments, wow wow and WOW that was one hell of a finale!! I don't have time to write up a proper recap but wanted to get the post up here so people could start chatting about it.

Soooo many new questions...now we know Jacob is (was) a real "person" and Locke really did intend to kill him...but who is Locke?!? With his body still in its coffin, how is Locke walking around alive and well? And was he in the first place back on the beach w/ Jacob hundreds of years ago?

We now know the "incident" was not caused by the bomb, the incredible magnetic energy was unleashed before it went off (though Miles made me question whether that would happen). Now that Juliette successfully detonated the bomb, what's going to happen?!?

5.15: Follow the Leader

Sorry for the delay folks, let's get to it!

Right off the bat I'll put my foot out there and say that the 70s Losties are not going to change the future. My theory is based on a couple reasons, but mostly because of what we've seen happen since Dan started trying to alter events. The biggest is him telling Dr. Chang that he's from the future and Miles is his son, thus getting Chang to trust Miles' recommendation to evacuate the Island. We see the only way he can get his wife and baby Miles to leave is to order them (quite harshly) to leave, thus resulting in his mother's hatred of his father and Chang's abandoment of them. This wouldn't have happened in Miles' past if Dan hadn't told Change to evacuate everyone, so I don't see Dan's actions affecting the future. Any Devil's advocates out there?? :)

As for Richard's comment about watching the Losties die, yeah I'm pretty intrigued by that...John saving himself was pretty cool, definitely didn't see that coming. It's interesting how he likes to twist the knife into Ben everytime he experiences something from the Island "what, the Island never told you things Ben?" I'm also very interested to hear why John wants to kill Jacob.

The situation w/ Jack and Kate is hard, Jack's not even thinking about the life he'd be sending Kate back to if 815 lands as planned; convicted and jailed by her own mother. Not to mention the non existance of their relationship, which you can tell really hurt Kate. Juliette's instant wave of jealousy everytime she sees Kate is getting a little old, like on the sub, where's the confident unshakable Juliette we've known the last couple years?

So the finale is two hours which I guess techinically gives us 17 episodes? One word, stingy, but this season is arguably the best one yet IMO, so I guess I can't be too whiny. :)

p.s. hope you like the new layout, the reversed out text was a bit hard to read...
