Whoa

“Hello, [fill in the blank after you've watched tonight's Lost].”

I did NOT see that coming.

I love, love, LOVE that show. It makes me want to be a better writer every time I watch it. They set the bar so damn high.

    OMGOMGOMG! Great show tonight! ^^ *girlysigh*

    OK, I’m sorry, but I thought it was VERY obvious and VERY telegraphed…but they still managed to make it work for me. I wasn’t surprised, but I DID get a sense of, “Damn, yeah, that works.”

    My question is this: How in the WORLD did Kate afford that house?

    If you’re at all interested, you can check my blog for in-depth thought of last night’s episode (and those prior), but I was surprised like Robin by the reveal. As Kate went upstairs at her posh home to see her son, I said aloud, “It could be _____.” And it was!

    Barry, do you think the Oceanic 6 got some sort of settlement from the company? Of course, would that apply to a fugitive about to go under trial? Hmmm.

  4. robin Says:

    Yeah, they’ve talked before about how the Oceanic 6 got a big settlement from the airline.

    Okay, so yeah, I was about to give up on “Lost.” Well, I could never *really* do that, but I was getting frustrated. But that Aaron reveal was a nice gasp-inducer for me.

  6. Barry Says:

    I don’t recall any talk of a settlement. I recall Jack mentioning the “golden tickets” they all got (free flights for life, I presume). When did they mention settlements? Was it in the Hugo episode?

    But you-know-who’s age makes it pretty clear that the flashforwards start about 1.5-2 years after the “present” shown on the island, meaning 2006 or thereabouts. So maybe drunk Jack is the most recent and in our present?

    In a recent episode, Sayid made a bet with a man on a golf course and when the man asked him what he did, he explained that he had money because he was one of the Oceanic 6. I thought that meant that they received money from the airline?

    We record Lost on the DVR and I haven’t watched it yet! Argh!! Now I’m really looking forward to it.
