LOST last week

Ok, it has been a few days since I wrote anything about Wednesday's LOST. I feel I need to repeat the last entry's comment: Sayid is a complete badass. He's just been hiding out in the jungle for a few episodes, then all of a sudden he reappears at the perfect moment and kills someone. What could be better?

I'm also not going to get into any time-travel theories because my head starts to hurt. In that department, I'd rather just watch and find out. I think what I enjoyed most about last week's episode, however, was seeing the continued evolution of Ben. These days, the poor guy is complete toast. Stick a fork in him because he is DONE, but yet he is still holding on. He has been dethroned as the leader of the 'others', but yet you can still see him scheming and plotting to return to power. It is absolutely fascinating to see him hanging on by his fingertips to the illusion--the memory--of the power and the leadership he used to have. He simply refuses to let go, even though his time has passed. What else are we going to see from him?

The schism between Jack and Kate is also quite interesting. For nearly five seasons, they have been on the same side. They have always had each other's back. But now, with Jack planning to detonate Jughead, things have changed. Jack has this belief (albeit perhaps a naive one) that their "normal" life, the life that was forgone because of the crash, is a better path than the one they are currently on. Well, I understand why Jack would feel that way, and I would probably feel that way too, but you have to look at it from Kate's perspective. If she gets on that plane in Sydney, what is waiting for her in L.A.? Sure, Jack's wife left him, but at least he has a relatively successfuly career. What is waiting for Kate? Jail! Who would want to go back to that? Crashing on the island has given Kate a second chance on life, and she is determined not to let this new life get washed away with the bomb. Next week's season finale is going to be incredible.

LOST tonight

Look. I've said this many times before but I will say it again: Sayid is an absolute badass. There's no other way to say that. More to follow.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
