"Unification"

Another season of “Lost” has come and gone. I said it earlier in the season, and I will say it again. How anyone could turn away from this show (especially after watching the entire 1st season, and part of the 2nd) baffles me. Once again, the plot seemed to some like a lumbering dinosaur. That maybe, but was required for plot development. I mean, the entire 2nd season spanned only like 20 days or so on the island. The only show I can think of that goes at a slower pace (timeline wise) is “24”, and you don’t hear people complaining about its pace. A question for “Lost” detractors. Would the Henry Gale story arc been better served in one episode or over the course of several episodes? I for one, found it much more interesting going from one week to the next waiting to find out 1st if he was “one of them”, and then just what would happen when the others wanted to get him back.

And Last Night, we discovered that he is the leader of the others. What else did we discover last night? It was Desmond’s fault the plane crashed on the island. Hurley was more upset with Jack for not letting him and Sawyer and Kate in on the know that Michael was a turncoat than he was with the fact that Michael murdered Libby. Also, Libby was married to a man named Dave, which was the same name as Hurleys “imaginary” friend in the mental institution. Libby gave Desmond the sailboat that lead him to the island. So Libby was the catalyst of sorts for the whole mess starting. Questions which arose in the episode: What the hell was up with the “Simpsons” Arganothesque foot statue. It only had four toes, as if the statue remains were not weird enough. Are Eko, Locke, and Desmond still alive? Did Desmond setting off the huge EMP destroy the whole reason for having to press the button every 108 minutes? Where are the others taking Jack, Sawyer, and Kate? Will Michael and Walt find civilization again? Will they tell others of how to rescue the castaways, and what what WHAT was up with Desmond’s would be wife having a Russian crew out searching the ocean for EITHER and EMP, or to detect that the button in the hatch was not pushed? Oy Vey!

Lost?
