Hey look, Lost has continued to leave us without answers! Good thing we actually want that … or we wouldn’t still be watching it after 4 seasons of the same. Answers and more questions. Its the cycle of abuse we subject ourselves too.
Last week, I got distracted by something shiny and failed to submit my article about the episode so I am just going to plow through last week and this week together.
Episode 6
Seeing Sayid’s family side still tainted by his dark career. As suspected his newfound sense of family and justice return him to his seedy past.
On the Island, we find out why Jack and Hurley were sent to the looking glass lighthouse. To keep them out of harms way when Flocke was visiting the temple. The parallel to Sayid’s moral dilemma in the Sideways Reset is just as sweet on the Island. His fate is uncertain, but I suspect we will see him again.
Episode 7
Ben Linus … wait. Dr Linus gets the focus of this episode, and we see his father weak and sick mention the Dharma Initiative. So it was revealed that they DID go to the Island, and it still existed in the Sideways Reset world.
Ben’s adoptive daughter Alex is revealed to be one of his students and the girl is as staggeringly beautiful as she was on the Island. And Linus still has an instinct to be a father figure as her teacher who has an interest in her well being and future. Linus also illustrates his manipulative instincts to gain position.
The Parallels are just insanely delicious. Its my favourite part of this season so far. Seeing the two completely different timelines deliver all the Losty goodness we expect, and giving one more layer of enjoyment illustrating how their lives are different and still just the same. On or off the Island.
The episode ends with them all on the beach, THE beach. But someone is watching.
Mr Widmore. Dun dunnn dunnnnnn!
Until next week… Get Lost.
