Lost: There’s No Place Like Home

So, to echo the end of my comments on Ed’s excellent (as always) post on his site:

Overall, loved this episode. Thought it was really well done in connecting some dots and opening up some new questions. Strike be damned, this season was very, very strong.

It is going to be a long wait for next season.

Oh… hands down: Kate.

Lost and found

I fell behind on watching Lost again, so I caught up by watching the last three episodes in a row last week. I watched the previous two prior to being able to watch last week’s live in HD, so it was a marathon viewing to be sure. In fact, they all blended together quickly on me.

Anyway, for much the same reason I was behind on watching, I was behind on reading Ed’s blog posts and I just now finally had the chance to catch up over there. (Thank you vacation day!) In fact, it wasn’t just that but almost a handful of other posts too. My man is definitely over that writer’s block.

That said, I’m going to break from doing a single aside for each epsiode’s comments here in favor of this single wrap-up. Besides, I don’t want to have to keep saying how hot Kate is in each. I mean, she came back huge on me with those flash forwards… I mean, the dress-shirt-as-jammies thing does it every time, you know? We men are such easy creatures…

Enough of the (wearing thin) joking around, here are the links:

• Something Nice Back Home
• Cabin Fever (I am talking out my ass on this one)
• There’s No Place Like Home

Looking forward to the finale, but also sad to know that’s it for a while. Will it keep us talking over the Summer and Fall? Based on how it has been going, how would it not? These guy’s are too good…

Lost: The Shape of Things to Come

Yeah, one may wonder if my lack of blogging over April had anything to do with Lost not being on… well, you’d be wrong. It wasn’t that in as much as it was me not wanting to spend time writing until the Shiny Bits were done and being very, very busy at work these last 3+ weeks.

Well, the bits are just about there, as in you’ll see them by Monday, and I have a lot of writing to do once they are out there, but in the meantime, I had to post this aside about last week’s episode of Lost since I just read Ed’s post and left my comments there.

Anyway, easily the best episode of the year and, perhaps, the series!

(Oh, and Claire looked hot after getting blowed up.)

Lost: Meet Kevin Johnson

Yay! The return of Libby! She’s a hottie.

Okay, I figured I’d get that out of the way first. On to the point, which is, my comments on the last episode before the break are on Ed’s post. Let’s do a checkpoint on what I was right and wrong about.

Oceanic Six: My original three guesses were wrong (Locke, Sawyer, Desmond). I did add Sayid by episode 2 and by episode 3, I had Michael in the mix and added Sun.  I didn’t add Aaron until the reveal, so he doesn’t count. I think my biggest victories were some Others being off-island and how Michael comes to be on the freighter.

Lost: Ji Yeon

As I said in my comments, I talked to Ed right after last week’s episode, so while I did read his post the day it came out… I think the minute it came out (I even did proof-reading detail for him), I didn’t leave any comments until today. So, they are there.

That overly wordy sentence was an attempt to think up something about one of the island hotties as I typed, but nothing came to mind. Um… so, Juliet was actually still looking pretty ill with the dirt and cuts and all… yeah.

Lost: The Other Woman

I actually had to comment twice — to start anyway — over on Ed’s post, but here’s a link to the first one. Even though the ep shifted down a gear from last week’s, it was still a good one. I mean, we got Juliet in a bikini… how can you go wrong there?

Yes… I am doing that, again, on purpose…

Lost: The Constant

So, I started watching this episode about 15 minutes after it started, so I was a little more confused than I should have been, and with time jumping/traveling, that’s shaky ground already! I think I need to start guaranteeing I get myself out of work in time to get home for nine so I can watch all of it in HD. Either that, or waste money on a Comcast DVR cable box so I can record it in HD. Media Center only records standard def over cable.

Obviously it made more sense when I watched the beginning after the end. My comments are on the newly refreshed Ed Zone.

Random TV moment, the guy playing the freighter doctor appeared in the episode of Eli Stone that aired after Lost. In that, he played an automotive corporation whistle-blower cum Hawaiian surf shop owner after being paid off…

I know you don’t care, it was just random. I know this because, yes, I sit thru Eli Stone to watch Julie Gonzalo, who was on Veronica Mars last year, and is way, way cuter/hotter as a brunnette.

Uh-oh… not only is this a long aside, but it is devolving into my Lost aside posting practices from the end of last year… you know, where I just talk about the ladies. Must be something about Spring approaching.

Lost: Eggtown

I posted a couple comments over on Ed’s post. I have a new Six which I will reveal here: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron, Sun. The two that die (from the Eight)? I am going with Claire (duh!) and Jin.

As you’ll note from my comments over there, I apparently wasn’t hearing too well last night when I watched the ep. I guess I need to crank it up next week!

Lost: The Economist

So, my thoughts on who leaves from my comment back to Chris rang true, which makes smack-the-forehead sense. The Oceanic Six would have to be people from the passenger manifest. That means, people that returned and were not on the flight would be unpublicized I’m sure. Therefore, between my initial list, additional modifications and the roll-up from the last set of comments to this week, I have a new list… two, actually, and the Ben reveal also has me putting Locke in the box, but with a possible wrinkle.

Anyway, the new comments are, of course, over on The Ed Zone post.

Lost: Confirmed Dead

So far, so good. Left my comments over on Ed’s post. I am starting to think of adjusting my six. I might change out Desmond for Juliet and Locke for Sayid. That’s just because those two just linked up with Jack, Kate and the “rescuers.”
