When we saw that Dogen had a son in Jack’s flash-sideways, I didn’t know he was also a huge baseball fan.

Mmmmmm...108 baseball stitches

It looks as though things in the alternate timeline are starting to carry over to the Island/present REAL time.  I wonder who else will “crossover”.

Why is it that John Locke is always smiling like he is in the know?

Good or bad, he is still one of my favorite characters.

So I thought “The Lighthouse” was a fantastic episode.  Not as overall informative as last week’s “The Substitute”, but still pretty good.   Jack episodes normally bore me just as much as Kate’s, but last night started Jack back on the up-slope with me.

Here is a “brief” recap with a focus on some of the smaller details I saw.  After, I will get to my new thoughts and theories.

This weeks episode is entitled “The Lighthouse”.

A lighthouse is simply a beacon.  It’s a tower with a light that gives warning of shallow water to passing ships.

But have we seen a lighthouse on the island?  Is it hiding somewhere just like the Hidden Temple was?

If you haven’t seen the promo for tonight’s episode, here is it

• The voice over says “someone is coming to the island” as it shows an ax followed by Jin.  Is the person coming for Jin? Who could it be?
• We now for sure see that Claire is back.  Is she really sick like Dogen said?  Or has she just turned feral like Rousseau? Where has she been/what has she done for the last 3 years?
• Are Jack and Hurley at “the lighthouse”?  What is up with the mirror he is smashing? It looks like he finds the list from inside the Ankh with his name on it and is a little upset over it.
• Do they revisit the “Adam and Eve” cave or are those new decayed bodies?
• Why is Locke always smiling?

I hope that we get some of these answers tonight.  Lets see if this episode lives up to last weeks.

The first two t-shirts in the weekly giveaway turned out awesome.  Jeff received his and Matt’s will be going out tomorrow.  I will ALSO pick the winner from week 3 tomorrow.  Remember, to enter, all you have to do is post a comment between today and next weeks episode and you can win one too.

Let me know what your questions and thoughts are about tonight episode.

Namaste,

Finally…another episode that made me say WOW.  After last week’s “What Kate Does”, I honestly had my doubts as to where this season was headed.  I was pretty impressed by this episode, and it definitely exceeded my expectations.  As much as the new “Temple Dweller” story line is interesting, I’m bored with Kate.  Focusing on Anti-Jacob, Sawyer, Richard, Ben, and Ilana was just what we needed.

I think it was a bit early in the season for a filler episode.

Not too much happened in last nights episode.  Well, not much to the extent that we didn’t get any more answers.  Almost all of the promos have been promising answers…when will they deliver?

He is a tough dude.

On November 30, 2005, episode 9 of Season 2 aired and we found out just what Kate did and why she was running from the law.

I wonder what tomorrow’s episode entitled “What Kate Does” will bring for us viewers and if it will relate to what she did off of the Island.

Here are just a few of my early thoughts/questions:

• What’s going to happen once Kate gets in the taxi with Claire?
• Is Claire going to still be pregnant?
• If so, what’s going to happen with Aaron (or whatever she names him off of the Island)?
• Will Jack get anyone killed this week?
• Why are we just learning about yet ANOTHER hidden group of people on the Island?
• Will we see anyone else that was on the plane? Michael, Libby, Anna, Eko?
• Why was Desmond on the plane?
• What did Anti-Jacob/Bad Locke mean when he told Richard it was “good to see him out of [his] chains”?

Like always, I cannot wait for tomorrow night.  I’m sure some questions will get answered, but at least that many more will just be thrown on the unanswered pile.  Let me know what you think is gonna come in tomorrow’s episode and be sure to come back and discuss more after it airs.

Also, I will be picking the winner of the first week’s t-shirt either tomorrow before the episode or the Wednesday morning after.

Remember, to be entered to win a custom made shirt, all you have to do is comment.  If you add anything to the weekly discussion, or even just post a thought about the show, you are entered.  Every week, the entries are reset so you have to comment at least once weekly to be reentered.

I really wanted to tweet and write during the episode last night, but I couldn’t risk missing anything.

As far as season premiers go, LA X was all I could have hoped for. I am going to be discussing different aspects from the show so if you didn’t watch, stop reading now because there will be some spoilers ahead.

For as much as we saw and learned, the questions just keep piling up.  Far too much happened in the episode to necessarily recap it, but I will share my ideas based on different parts of the story.

• We start with two different timelines are going on: happy pre-crash and chaotic post-crash/post-explosion
• Juliet (who somehow survived a point blank explosion of an H-Bomb) was trapped in present time under the Desmond destroyed Swan Station.
  • After everyone “woke up” from the explosion, they discovered she was still alive in the wreckage.
  • Sawyer lead the team to dig her out and once he got to her, they kissed and she said she had to tell him something very important.  Then, of course, she dies in his arms without the information getting out.
  • After burying her, Sawyer forces Miles to “talk” to her to find out what she needed to tell him which turned out to be, “It worked.”
  • I assume that means that the bomb reset life, but now it functions on the previously stated two separate paths.
• Dead Jacob appears to Hurley and he tell him that he is the only one who can save Sayid and that he needs to have bring Sayid to The Temple. Why can Hurley see Jacob but no one else can?
• At The Temple, they (Jack, Kate, Hurley, Jin, Sayid) meet an entirely new group of “Others” headed up by Dogan and Lennon.  With these others is Cindy and the two children who were stolen from the tail of the plane.  Dogan asks for Hurleys guitar case and opens it to pull out a huge Ankh.  He they proceeds to smash it on his knee revealing a piece of paper, with all of their names on it.  He asks them to bring Sayid inside where a bubbling pool is waiting.  Apparently, the pool should be clean, but now it is a brownish sewage color.  A few of the Others bring Sayid into the water.  As Dogan flips over an oversized hourglass, they submerge Sayid face down and refuse to let him up until the sand has run through the hourglass, to the dismay of the watching crowd.  Sayid now appears to be dead.  What is up with the pool? Why is it now dirty? Does it supply the healing powers to the Island?
• Bizarro Locke sent Ben out of the statue to get Richard.  When Ben can out, Richard questioned what happened inside and then proceeded to show Ben the real Locke’s dead body.  Bram and Ilana demand to go in and see Jacob, but Richard says no.  Bram grabs Ben and decides to take matters into his own hands and storms in with a few others, all armed.  Bizarro Locke turns into the Smoke Monster and kills the intruders (minus Ben).  But what does that mean?  Is Jacob’s nemesis the Smoke Monster who can shapeshift into whatever form it wants like Locke, or is it his black-shirted anti self who’s spirit can infuse into other things, like the smoke monster?
• On the pre-crash timeline, Jack gets one extra bottle of vodka on the plane instead of two.  The turbulence stops and Bernard rejoins Rose in their seats.  Arzt recognizes Hurley and asks him to say his catchy Mr. Clucks slogans.  Charlie tries to swallow his heroin and passes out in the bathroom.  Sayid breaks the bathroom door down so that Jack can revive Charlie.  Shannon stayed in Sydney so Boone is on the plane alone.  Boone starts talking to Locke who lies to him about being on the Walkabout.  Sun and Jin sit while Jin is looking over his new watch.  Once the plane landed, Jack was told that his fathers body was lost.  The airline lost one of Locke’s bags and while waiting, Jack offers him a free consultation for his spinal injury, gives him his business card and holds the door open for Locke to wheel out.  Kate escapes the watchful eye of her marshal and manages to escape into a taxi that already has Claire inside.  Jin is detained because he did not declare a large envelope full of money at customs, and Sun still refuses to speak English to help him out.

Gah, sorry that seemed like lots of rambling.  Like I said, that two hour episode was so packed full, it was hard to get everything from my head out into this post.

I REALLY want to know what you all think about last night as well.  Lets start this season off right with some solid discussions.  Post your comments, theories, speculations, etc… here.  Do it!

I am also going to try something new for this season.  Every week, I am going to give away a hand made LOST t-shirt.  They are all going to be made specifically for the “winner” to order.  To win a shirt, you must make at least one discussion comment before the next weeks episode.  It’s that simple.  One weekly comment enters you.  A winner will randomly be drawn each week and then contacted to get information.  The shirts are awesome and are one of a kind so comment and win one.

Finally, here are some fantastic pages I found and wanted to share with everyone:

Until next time.

Real John Locke…Fake John Locke…I don’t care.  I love him.

That new promo from yesterday was pretty crazy.  Here are some of my thoughts:

• John Locke seems to be, or is pretending to be, the “chosen one”.  Looks like he is still running the show.
• Apparently someone thinks they can kill the smoke monster with bullets.  Remember when it turned into a hand and demolished Mr. Eko?  Yeah…that’s what i thought.
• Kate seems to stumble upon some dead bodies.  Ex-Dharma workers again?  Maybe fellow islanders from a different time?
• What about the “cemetery” that Sun and Frank Lapidus (I think it’s them) find or the huge lakefront hidden temple the other group discovers?
• Who is the weird new guy with the gigantic hourglass that I only assume is in the aforementioned temple?
• Sayid looks to be getting tortured, but at least he is still alive…for now.
• New group of people holding the islanders at gunpoint?  I don’t like them.
• Kate crying like normal.
• Jin being awesome like normal.
• Jacob looks like he is alive again, but I guess nothing is forever on the island.
• John Locke is messing with the black and white scales of justice.
• Just why IS Jack’s name written down and what is he smashing?

So many question, and the season hasn’t even started yet.

I don’t really have many predictions for this season.  I know how insane the writers are and how much they like to muck up the works and put fake leads about stuff.  I am just going to sit back and enjoy the first episode with the rest of you and hope to have a fantastic time discussing and analyzing it tomorrow.

GAH…I am so excited.

Namaste,

-Andrew

Oh yeah, this is the shirt I have on right now.  It’s from www.teefury.com.  They actually have another LOST themed shirt today.  Its awesome.

During Desperate Houswives last night, ABC aired the final new promo for this season of LOST.  It is 100% new footage and is incredible.

I want you all to watch and let everyone on here know what you think about it.

I am not going to say anything about it yet since I don’t know who has watched it or not but I will be sure to post my thoughts and reactions sometime tomorrow before episode one starts.

I didn’t think I could be more excited, but I most certainly am…

Namaste,

September 22, 2004: “Pilot, Part 1″ aired and we meet Jack and learn about Oceanic Flight 815 taking off from Sydney, Australia flying to Los Angeles, California.  It never reached its destination.
September 21, 2005 44 days passed on the show during last season: “Man of Science, Man of Faith” opened with an unknown man waking up from a bunk bed due to a peeping alarm and entering numbers into an Apple II computer. 
October 4, 2006 By the end of season 2, a total of 67 days have elapsed: “A Tale of Two Cities” started out with a woman getting ready in a mirror listening to “Downtown” by Petula Clark.  She starts to cry.
January 31, 2008 91 days have now passed on the show by the conclusion of last season: “The Beginning of the End” started with a car chase.  The car is an orange, early 70’s Chevy Camaro.
January 21, 2009 by the end of season 4, a total of 108 days have elapsed: “Because You Left” opened much like season 2 with an unknown man hitting the snooze button on his alarm clock.  He gets up and puts on a record of  “Shotgun Willie” by Willie Nelson before tending to his son.
February 2, 2010 due to time travel, the elapsed time is unknown from season 5: The Final Season hopefully will pick up after “The Incident” and it will be a bittersweet ending as we find out the fate of our remaining survivors.

It is incredible to look back and see how much we have been through since September 22, 2004 when it all started (seeing as how roughly one third of a year has passed on the show).

With a new year for the GET LOST Blog comes a new moderator.  I am Andrew Kochirka and I will be your ringleader.  I am going to try to post before shows, during show, after shows, between shows…basically all the time from anywhere I can.  Besides this blog, I will be making posts to twitter.com/GetLostBlog so follow me on there as well.  Please remember, this is an open forum.  I want everyone to feel free to post whatever and whenever they want.  Questions, thoughts, theories, comments, whatever…don’t hold back.  Let us make this season of LOST, the final season of LOST, the best season of LOST.
