Lost: Eggtown

[retsuko]

You know when you totally call a plot point, and watch the plot unwind to this Big Reveal at the end, but you know what's coming?

So, the moment Kate demurred on picking up baby Aaron, and in her flashforward, we heard reference to a baby, my brain put those things together and got one Big Reveal. Because Lost's writers seem to be all about ironic twists, and this was pretty darn ironic.

Also:

Man, I wouldn't toss Sawyer out of my bed, in those cute little white boxer shorts. I imagine legions of fangirls squealing in delight at that scene.

Ben was right: 3.2 million is very specific. Where did this number come from?

Speaking of Ben, what book did he end up with? And what book was Sawyer reading in Casa de Hurley?

And we know where Sun and Jin are, and I wish they were getting more scenes, but this was OK, I suppose.

And Desmond and Sayid and the Helicopter Guy have vanished?! What?

And Oceanic Eight? That totally screws up my count. Stop it with the number guessing games, Lost writers!

Dane called the Aaron link, but I was like' "wth??"

Dane and I were debating the "flash forward" stuff earlier- I disapprove and he situationally approves. I don't like knowing the end and then getting filled in sort of plot. I liked it when it was merely flashbacks, and it was okay- they were all truths. I'm thinking the flash forwards are a bit on the lame side. Who cares about them off the island? Significantly less interesting.

Also, big debate in the household about Kate. I've never really liked her because her decisions don't always make sense. At least with Sawyer, he's fairly predictable- you can see Sawyer logic. So, I was less than impressed with the newest episode.

More Jin and Sun! :D

I kind of dig the flashforwards, even if some of them have been a bit depressing. (Hurley, no!) It takes the story in new directions that I don't think it would have gone if we'd just stuck with flashbacks.

And word on Kate, although I felt sorry for her during the trial--who wants to be in prison for years after being on the Island?

You are AWESOME! :)

And ooh, now I'm curious about those books, too. Sawyer's books always have some plot relevance, or are commenting on the action in some way...

And yeah, who are the other two of the Six/Eight supposed to be now?

I'll go check on Lostpedia about the books.

From Lostpedia:

The first one, a book that Locke takes to Ben from Ben's own bookshelf, is "Valis", by Philip K. Dick.

The book Sawyer is reading ("The Invention of Morel"), however, is even more interesting. The plot synopsis reads as follows:

"A fugitive hides on a deserted island somewhere in Polynesia. Tourists arrive, and his fear of being discovered becomes a mixed emotion when he falls in love with one of them. He wants to tell her his feelings, but an anomalous phenomenon keeps them apart."

Neat, eh? A little less obvious than "Carrie". :)
