I still get goosebumps thinking about the clusterfuckery that went on. Jack's flashforward - wow, took me in an emotional rollercoaster ride; I was confused, saddened, angered, then it gave me hope that they are going to get out of there Hurley's car - I cheered out loud when he finally got to do something useful; funny how they showed him wanting to help but everyone just shunning him. They always do it in episodes; they give you obvious clues but you don't ever predict what's going to happen because you get so immersed in the present. Rousseau and Alex - Naomi being an under-the-radar enigmatic bitch John coming out of the burial ditch to prevent them from leaving the island And eww, Walt's back BEN BEING PUMMELED almost to death! And I'm so happy Jack didn't give him the phone. Finally not the usual textbook heroic move. And lastly... "Not Penny's boat" I don't care for Charlie but this was such a well-executed death episode. This is why I said above to stop watching after this episode - it had everything with a helluva cliffhanger ending, but wrapped up enough loose ends that folks could go home happy.

No mind-boggling scene with new characters (a la Desmond cycling while listening to Mama Cass in the hatch or Juliet's book club). Instead, we get FUCKING HURLEY as a season opener. at this Miles cunt. So annoying. The introduction of these new characters doesn't feel right. They just don't seem interesting. at all the flash forwards. It was good once, but now they keep doing it, it destroys the mystique of the island. By presenting what's happening in the future, what's happening on the island in turn becomes the flashback which feels regressive. The first 3 episodes make you confused not in a good way unlike seasons 1, 2, or 3. You just get annoyed by what the fuck is going on. Let's hope it gets better from here.

I would've been shocked if two of the coveted 6 slots were occupied by Jin and Sun. Ditto mindfuck on Juliet being interviewed by Goodwin's wife being a "celebrity" but it turns out she just arrived on the island, NOT back in the real world. I also would've been shocked had she been one of the 6 since she's not an original cast member. Ditto again on Kate's baby being Aaron! SHOCKER!!! And "The Constant" with Desmond calling Penny after 8 years. <3 SO GOOD. (Keagan?--one of the seamen--and the captain are HOT!) at Michael being back. Seriously, can they axe him already? This is like his 6th time back on the show. Though I gotta admit, good twist him being Ben's spy.

I was surprised the writers let the French massacre happen. I thought Alex would've lived. This is why I love this show. There's no conventionality. I'm still getting used to the idea of them getting off the island. I didn't like Michael's back story where he goes off the island successfully but was able to come back easily. It takes away the enigma factor. I also don't like how Jack's father is part of this whole interconnected, interweaving relationships they have. SURE, Charles Widmore--Penny's dad--being in the thick of things was a great twist. But adding in Jack's father just makes it contrived and it feels like too much!

Season 4 from the get-go didn't feel right, especially with the flashforwards. I kept holding on to my hope that maybe it would just take getting used to but I didn't like it, even after the season finale. I didn't feel anything when Jin died because I ALREADY KNEW IT ON EPISODE 3! All that happened in the season finale was just a matter of finding out how the Oceanic Six were going to get out of the island when there's so many people involved in the great escape; but on the other, all the tension and excitement was lost because you know eventually the Oceanic Six will be saved. This "We have to go back!" bullshit is annoying too. And the whole build up to who was in the coffin was great, it just didn't pay off because it was just fucking Locke. Who cares. One positive thing though is I grew to love Lapidus.

So on season 3, Desmond tells Charlie that he needs to drown so that his vision of Claire and Aaron getting on the helicopter being saved comes true. But that never happens, does it? We never see Claire get on the helicopter, just Kate. Granted I'm only at the end of season 4.

I'm three episodes in season 5 and I'm not liking this time-traveling bullshit. It makes the show convuluted with 3 intertwining timelines going on (with the third one changing constantly). I mean I can keep up and understand what's going on, but that's not what the show is about. This is about the HUMAN characters, not about the plot. It's like Charles Widmore is Russell Hantz. Ever since both men got on their respective shows, the human element has gone lost. Suddenly it's about the twists to the story, not to the characters anymore. It's become science-fictiony, too mechanical for my taste. Sure, they try to inject pathos with Daniel Faraday and the British ginger, but we're not given the opportunity to actually care about them. Young Charles Widmore and the blond Other have the most atrocious attempts at British accent. Sigh.
