• lOST.....

  This season is difficult. I cannot sum up one episode in one entry. Each season is worth a season to explain the intricacies of this show...and just when you have answers more questions follow.

  It's cool to have seen the island's "alarm system" again. (Places BEWARE OF SMOKE MONSTER sign along the shore). And we discover that Rousseau's baby is in fact NOT Ben's...so when did he claim paternity?

  As for poor Charlotte, well, sorry honey. Time travel's a bitch, huh?

  What a relief to have Jin get more screen time too. And an emotional plea to John NOT to bring her back, courtesy of Charlotte's near last words: "Don't bring her back...This place is DEATH!"

  So, is the island good or bad? It's just like Ben's character. You first get the impression he's telling the truth when you first meet him, then once you know him you can't believe anything he says....

  CAse in point, when Christopher Shepard finally meets with Locke right before he's to embark on the Return to the Island Tour, Mr. Shepard, Sr. says, "And when did listening to Ben do you any hell of good?"....My thoughts exactly.

  The duality of Ben epitomizes the duality of the island and of the nature of this show. Appearances are not what they ought to be....And that Ms. Eloise is a bit strange and mysterious, with I bet insidious motives far darker than Ben's.....Can it be true that she's Faraday's mother?....

  All I can say is LOST is interfering with the chemicals between my synapses. The more times I see those flashes I wonder if each episode should be precluded by a disclaimer: Warning: Some scenes may induce seizures.!!!!
