So the final season is upon us, with promises of all the questions from the previous 5 seasons to be answered over the next 18 episodes, I for one am greatly looking forward to what's to come.
This past week we had the 2 part season opener 'LA X I & II' and, in my opinion at least, all the hype for this season was justified. Like everyone else I had heard the rumours of cast members returning and was pleased to see how it was done by playing on the whole 'did the bomb go off or didn't it'. I'll be interested to see where they take the 'off-island' stuff over the next few episodes, it seems obvious to me that all the characters will begin interacting with each other on some level after landing in LA, maybe adding fuel to the 'destiny/fate' themes that have been knocked about in previous series. The differences of the plane to the crashed one are also interesting, no Shannon, no coffin and an additional passenger in Desmond...
On the island, it was good to finally see The Temple and the 'fountain' which healed Ben all those years ago. It's interesting to note that the water had 'changed' since Jacob died suggesting the island might now be under the control of Jacobs Rival. I have a feeling that note that was in the ankh says more than the Japanese bloke and the hippy let on... With regards to Sayid, do you think he's really alive (after everyone agreeing he was dead) or is he likely to be a 'vessel' for Jacob in the same way Locke is for JR/Man in Black/Smokie? The only argument against this is that Locke's body is still dead and separate whereas Sayid's isn't.
Also a hint at Richards origins from JR, "nice to see you out of those chains". Does that mean Richard was on the Black Rock? Or was he a slave or imprisoned for something else. I think the Black Rock is more likely based upon the start of the Season 5 finale but it's another 'wait and see' situation that I'm sure will be answered over the next 3 months.
Looking forward to next Friday!

I'm pretty sure Sayid is dead. Although he has died before...
Big episode this week though:

Oh dear God that episode was mad. Poor Kwons, and poor baby Kwon :(
Do you think there's any chance Sayid might be alive?

Yeah I saw it, I'm losing a lot of interest in Lost now. This season just doesn't feel very "lost" if you know what I mean. There's no real desire to keep watching for me, the cliffhangers suck.
On top of that, we have about 4 weeks now until the final episode, there's so much left unexplained that I'm now resigned to believing that they forgot/cba to explain it.
Sad panda.

It's on my iPhone ready to watch but haven't had the chance yet :(
Wow, anyone seen the latest 'The Candidate' episode yet?
The final episode has just been increased by 30 minutes, it'll now run from 9pm to 11.30pm. Nice!
I just get a US iTunes card and a US account, they're out there when the US show airs so I get them in HD and legit too. Though the HD bit doesn't often matter as I tend to catch them when on the bus using the iPhone rather than my monitor.
So, it looks like I wont be talking to McLong, going on Facebook, reading any papers, visiting any forums or watching any 'entertainment' news reports for 5 days at the end of this month. It's been confirmed that although the US get the final 2 hours on May 23rd (a Sunday) we have to wait till Friday 28th for the privilege :(
Luckily I have that day off so can watch all 5 hours of content Sky have planned.
It also upsets me that we only have 5 hours left, and the show will end this month.

Due to my normal 'Lost buddy' going away this weekend we downloaded and watched this weeks episode, The Last Recruit, last night and I have to say it was another enjoyable episode and definitely pushing the story along (with only 5 left, this is not really surprising.
In the FST everybody seems to be converging on Jacks hospital, which is where I assume Desmond will do the 'big reveal', which is nice. Assuming the storylines are converging at some point, this is where I think it will happen.
Enjoyed seeing Sayid finally showing a little emotion, obviously Des got to him in the well and likely he left him alive to work his EMP related magic.
While I don't really care too much for Jin and Sun, I was happy to see them re-united. I am still sure these two are going to be Adam & Eve in the cave by the beach.
As for the ending, it leaves a lot open, Jack has always been pushed as the main 'good' character and has become more and more a 'man of faith' as the last 2 or 3 series have progressed. However, if he has joined Flocke this would explain him having a son in the FST (as Flocke can seemingly give people what they want in the FST). I am expecting in the next couple of episodes Jack will begin to remember the Island, realise he doesn't have a son and then spend an hour trying to 'save' his little boy.
No Lost next week but the final 6 hours are shaping up to be something epic.
