Last night's episode of LOST wrapped up an interesting season 2. And when I say "interesting," I mean it in more of "are you kidding me" way than an actual interest capturing way. Sure, it had its moments, but in general, the lack of plot development and the focus on non-revelaing backstories almost drove me crazy.
However...I was thouroughly satisfied with the last few episodes, and as intended by ABC, I'm extremely interested in what's going to happen next season. Eric and I had a discussion a few weeks ago about television - specifically "appointment television." It's sad, I know, but there are a few shows that I actually think about during the week and I look forward to those days because I know I get to watch it that night. Anywho...
Mike's take:
Jack/Kate - will totally get together, but they (previews) said there would be some development last night. NOT!
Sawyer - liking him more (as long as he doesn't try to come up with any more nicknames.)
NotHenry - totally knew he would be the leader of the Others.
Locke/Echo - are they dead?? Who knows. I have a feeling they are not, but it would be admirably gutsy of the show to kill them off.
Charlie/Claire - glad they got together - now hopefully Charlie will stop whining all the time.
Desmond - goodbye.
Libby - I have a feeling we'll see her more in flashbacks.
Michael - I think he'll have second thoughts and come back to help. He needs to redeem himself.
OTHERS - No big surprise that they weren't hillbilies. Still wonder if they are Dharmas or Dharmees.
Penny - woh!! Contact with the outside world. So the good news is, this is not Purgatory, or another dimension - they are actually on an island (in the actual world). That's a totally new develpment that will no doubt cause much more confusion and less plot development next season. Whoopee!!

I think the Jack/Kate thing was totally revealed in the looks they gave to each other while bound and gagged on the dock. Sawyer was looking at them, but they were looking at each other. Subtle, yes...but something!
I soooo do not like NotHenry. He is scary.
I think Michael is going to join up with Sayid, Jin and Sun. There's no way he is not coming back to redeem himself now. Interesting thing is that they were all given the coordinates they needed to escape.
I would be floored if Locke and Eko were dead...but something had to have happened to them. That was one crazy white blast.
I am soooo confused as to what the end meant. What were those guys in the snow reporting??? Why did they call Penny? Could they have known that the big magnetic blast was Desmond? She said a lot of money could find him earlier in the show, but come on! NOT seeing how that's possible. Unless her dad is somehow involved with the Dharma initiative?! Oh boy. Can't wait till next season. I'm also interested to see what the Others want with Kate, Jack and Sawyer. What is it that they are studying??
1.) I think Penny's dad somehow is over a lot of this
2.) I'm more annoyed about the "outside world" plot opening than I am satisfied. Why? Think about the fact they just gave themselves an infinite new amount of branches they can track off on. Their formula thus far...go down a new twist for a while then track another branch, but never really close the loop. Now it's going to be x10. Ugh. It's the old, answer 1 question open 10 new ones because now we're saying, "Who put the magnet there", "Why?", "When?", "What happens now that the failsafe was switched?", "Do the 'others/hostiles' know about it?" yadayadayada
Bottom line...DUMB
*GASP*
Despite Eric's very negative outlook, I still very much enjoy the show. I still want to know the answers and thus, keep watching b/c I'm interested. Try not having to know everything and the show will be much more enjoyable!
