LOST Fan

Blogging my reactions, during the commercial breaks:

9:07. I hope Charlotte will recover from her time-travel sickness and be ok.

9:16. Why do the Others speak Latin? Did they go to Others Prep School?

9:28. “He’s one of my people.” Ha ha. Was Locke the leader of the Others throughout all of time?

So far, this is not shaping up to be one of my favorite episodes.

9:39. I liked this segment a lot better! Learned many interesting things. Widmore was Faraday’s benefactor! Wow. And there was an atomic bomb on the Island — that would explain a lot — the strange Island sickness is probably due to the bomb’s radiation. The presence of the bomb might even account for the origin of the time shifts themselves.

I like Faraday and Charlotte as a couple — nice and low-drama. Sawyer and Juliette are starting to have some good chemistry too. But is there anyone who does not have good chemistry with Sawyer?

9:51. That young Other is Charles Widmore! Oooh, that gave me chills up my spine! I’m really liking this episode now.

10:01. Desmond and Penny named their baby Charlie! Awww.

Miles: “I’m fine too.” Ha ha.

Shame about Charlotte. I’m still hoping for a magical cure.

I was very impressed with the performance of Jeremy Davies (Faraday), who really came into his own tonight. Last week was Jorge Garcia’s chance to shine. This week was Davies’.

Overall impression of this episode: It got off to a slow start, but we got one fantastic reveal — the young Charles Widmore — and one huge step forward in understanding the mythology of the Island — the presence of the leaking atomic bomb.

Oh, a weird bit of synchronicity — My TV is still on, and the beginning of “Life on Mars” is playing in the background as I finish writing this, and someone on that show just said “Archie and Jughead.” Jughead!
