Wednesday, January 25, 2006Hit me, JoshGive me one good reason why I didn't just waste an hour of my life.
SPOILER ALERT Josh: Well, considering that Lost is never a waste of time, that's one. If you want something more substantial, well, you have to look at it as a tweener episode (what I like to call episodes in serial adventures like comic books that are between major events that largely deal with internal reflection of the group) that came immediately after two episodes that had major reveals. Granted, in Lost, major reveals just open more questions, but that is the brilliance of it (keeps you coming back for more). Basically, this episode moved the plot of the characters along (as opposed to the story), where Locke and Claire are associated, Charlie and Claire are irreconcilably separated, Kate is getting jealous of Jack and Ana Lucia, Locke is starting to be more forceful in guarding his interests (whatever those may be), Mr. Eko is the guy people go to for spiritual guidance, and Hurley and Libby have something going (and may have seen each other before). In addition, it revealed that Charlie is crazy and/or using again (although it never makes clear which), but at the same time that he has always been a bit protective (of his older brother) of those he considers family. All of these things are setting up a reorganization in the camp, probably along the lines of "Army" and "non-Army" people. My guess is that the next new episode will either be a Hurley or Libby one (why else would they play a re-run of "Numbers" next week), in which their past acquaintance is revealed and is either a complete shock or will lead to a complete shock about one of them, as well as the whole numbers idea. |
