Lost and Heroes
Ok, so I haven't posted much, but man oh man have those shows been good lately. Heroes has been EXCELLENT and I still have no idea what is going on. Can't wait for those last two episodes this season. But for sheer intensity, last night's Lost takes the cake! It has been a LONG time since we've had that good an episode. Don't get me wrong, it has definitely been back to season 1 form, but last night was incredible. It definitely was the best this season for me.
Lots of hot points and questions:
* Jack and Juliette telling the camp "its time we got caught up" as they prepare for the showdown
* Locke returning to his alpha dog role by beating the crap out of the russian dude.
* Why did Alex give Locke a gun?
* Ben was born off the island
* Ben's dad, Roger, is the Ben's dad was the one Hurley found in that van
* what happened with Ben's childhood friend, Annie?
* I about jumped out of my couch when young Ben turns around in his room and sees his mom
* Richard is a native/hostile, and he hasn't aged since Ben was a boy?
* The whole Jacob scene, especially when only Locke heard "Help me". For a split second you actually see someone else in the room! More on that later...
* Was that gunpowder Locke was looking at when they approached the cabin? Volcano ash?
* The whole gassing scene, Ben killing his dad, the hostiles gassing the Dharma camp. Wow!
* I got chills in that scene by the mass grave where you realize Ben is going to take out Locke, and shoots him before Locke can react. Wild!
For the first time in ages I actually hit the Lost forums. LOTS of theories about Jacob. And, yes, you see him if you pause your Tivo:
One theory is he's Locke. Or Locke's twin? I can see the resemblence, minus the big 'ole hole in his head.
Another talks about the clothing he's wearing and the wig... very 1700s... like a pirate of say a certain slave ship (Black Rock)?
Another talks about him being Jacob Radzinsky, the maker of the map, and the dude who left part of his brains on the ceiling of the Swan hatch.
Another theory is he's Alvar Hanso, i.e. the founder of the Hanso foundation (which the ABC site had all those online references to). I can definitely see that resemblence as well:
I haven't read it yet, but here's the Entertainment Weekly recap.
So much to discuss. Can't wait for next week!
