Well, that hurt my brain

Finally some quantum physics and time travel and some teary “I love you”s and everything we could want from a show that all the way through makes us go, “Huh?? I’m so confused!” I’m surprised we all didn’t have blood streaming from our noses, poor little overloaded brains.

Love it. Great episode tonight. That show just gets better and better.

Off to swallow some Advil.

    Such a great episode! And I’m more confused then ever how great is that?! 8D lolz

    As I wrote on my blog, I’m an idiot when it comes to time travel. It completely boggles my mind. Theories abound after what we saw last night, though! Let me just say I’m glad we still have a certain someone.

    It’s good that there’s a show like that to challenge us. I’m all for mindless entertainment every now and then, but I much prefer letting my brain get a workout.

    Robin: Have you seen “Donnie Darko?” There’s a film that can hurt your brain (in a good way) with thinking about time-travel.

    I just watched the episode. Oh my goodness, a story that actually ends on a hopeful note. Is it possible that the futures we’re watching are not actually fixed? That’s my guess for now.

    I’m actually a bit tired of being confused, but well then THAT ENDING! I was in tears.

    It doesn’t hurt that Desmond is devastatingly HOT (the long-haired version of him).

    I still, though, can’t get over how long it took Penelope to get to the phone already. He gives her this cryptic message eight years ago, and it seems as if she was all expectant about the call. But it took her, like, eight rings to get to it. I know it’s for dramatic effect so that we could hear that lovely “Lost” piano music, but what, was she decorating cookies and then was all, ‘Oh yeah, Desmond’s supposed to call from the future. Let me get that’?

    But all that was trumped by the lovely, moving ending. This romance better NOT have a tragic ending.

    Alkelda, I have seen Donnie Darko, and you’re right–ow. I agree about Desmond. I especially like his accent. I’m a sucker for UK, Australian, and New Zealand accents.

    Jules, I thought the same thing about Penny coming to the phone! Dude, if she’s really been looking for him so frantically all these years, pick up the phone! She’s just decorating away, la la la. But I forgive her because that phone call was so sweet. I agree it’s nice to have a hopeful ending. I also agree that I’m not into that romance having a tragic ending–not after everything we’ve been through.

    But I just loved that episode all the way through. Loved it each time he kept switching back to the other life. So unpredictable and exciting. And the whole interaction with Daniel the Mad Scientist–too cool.
