Lost "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1"
I want the old Lost back....
No more flash forwards.
No more flashbacks.
I just want the Island with the Losties and the Others.
Where ARE those kids that the Others took anyway????
It just seems to me that since the producers now know the end date of the series, it's a jumbled rush to the finish line.
Don't misunderstand me, I still like Lost and I will miss it when it's gone....but all I can say about it right now is that it's WRONG.
And last season, when the finale was over, I couldn't wait for the next season to start...six months was a long time to wait.
In two weeks, I know the two hour finale will be something special, but maybe during the hiatus, I won't be "So Lost" this time.
I may be able to hold on....
That said, last night was a mess as far as I'm concerned - just a typical lead-in to the final episode.
But what I found, is that the music, and the momentum of the show just kept increasing...it was as if everyone was marching into a war...and I believe that's what is going to happen.
Some type is warlike disaster. Something horrific.
Jeff Jensen from EW.com has some bizarre views on it all....but I see he agrees with me regarding something wicked on the horizon:
Ominous signs of impending doom abounded in last night's Lost. There was Flash-Forward Hurley's T-shirt, the one that said ''Ace of Spades'' — the death card, the card of war. There were also his accursed Lotto numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42), taunting him from the speedometer of his symbolically loaded Camaro, causing the soon-to-be loony-bin returnee to run like a proverbial madman. And there was the Orchid, our newest Dharma station, also known as ''the greenhouse,'' perhaps the most foreboding omen of all.
Operation Greenhouse was the code name for America's A-bomb testing program in the South Pacific during the 1950s — a terrifying allusion in an episode where we learned that the freighter is a ticking bomb and that ''moving the Island'' could be a perilous, possibly catastrophic endeavor. ''Doing it is both dangerous and unpredictable,'' said a glibly cryptic Ben. ''It's a measure of last resort.'' Whatever it is that the Orchid can do, it was enough to cause Faraday to make an I-think-I-just-peed-myself face: ''We have to get off this island,'' he told Charlotte. ''Right now.''
