Lost Thoughts

Here are my "Lost Thoughts" for this week's episode in no particular order:

1. I called it . . . John Locke's deadbeat dad and Sawyer's "Tom Sawyer" were, in fact, one and the same. This is my second character connection to be verified in the past few weeks...the last was that Jack and Claire were siblings.

2. They are NOT in purgatory. I think the writers are clearly using this theory as a red herring. John's dad didn't die...the main guy playing God (whoever he may be) orchestrated the accident and owned the ambulance that picked him up. I don't yet have an answer to the fact that the plane was found, though the same explanation could hold true. Anyone seen Wag the Dog? If you can fake a war, you can certainly fake the discovery of a plane at the bottom of the ocean. The aforementioned "God" figure obviously wants some of these people to remain on the island and for the island not to be found, so it is plausible that they would fake such a discovery.

3. I'm over Jack. He's been pissing me off for awhile, but when he pulled that crap with Kate this week saying "she's not ready" to learn whatever secret Juliette wanted to share with her...he was doing no more than pulling a Ben. Come on! Of course, I don't feel sorry for Kate because she never should have gone to Jack with that information. I'm guessing though that it was a "you broke my heart and now I want to hurt you by showing you that your friends don't trust you" gesture. Love and heartbreak make us all do stupid things....for this, I forgive her.

4. Sawyer. I love this character. My heart broke for him this week. Obviously, you don't want to think of him as a murderer and even after he kills "Tom Sawyer" with his bare hands, you still don't see him as a murderer...at least I didn't. So, now what? He gets to go back to Kate who is using him while she's in love with Jack. I know he's caused a lot of pain in his past, but he deserves to finally put his past behind him and be happy, right?

5. Locke. Ugh, John Locke. I did love the moment after Sawyer killed his father when Locke simply said "Thank you." I'm also glad to know that he still cares about the camp (giving sawyer the information and evidence against Juliette). I'm not sure what I think of this "I'm on my own journey now" crap. I'm just over his weirdness. The only good thing about him going on this journey is that we will hopefully start to get some answers about this island.

6. Foreshadowing. In 3 nights they will raid the beach. So, the season finale may hold Sun being kidnapped. And, why does Rousseau need the dynamite? Will she confront her daughter before the season ends?

7. Final thoughts. I love Desmond's character and I love the new alliances and friendships. I can't agree with Kristi the Horse that Juliette is fantastic because I frankly can't stand her. Also, I get the impression that no one really likes Ben...why doesn't someone kill him or otherwise put him in his place?

Until next time . . .
