I know I only watched it about 12 hours ago, but I'm ready to call last night's Lost easily the best episode of the season and maybe (maybe) the best episode of the series so far.
It was so good it made my consciousness go back in time while I slept last night and made me forget to set my alarm for this morning. (That's the only explanation I can come up with after oversleeping this morning, because I am certain that I set my alarm last night.)
If a show wants me to care about the romantic involvement of two of its characters, it has to be earned. (See BBC Office versus NBC Office.) And if in two years time, when Lost is getting ready to wrap up for good, if Desmond and Penelope do not at least get to see each other (for real, not in flashbacks) again, I am going to be a might bit heartbroken. That phone conversation was one of the greatest scenes I have ever seen on television though. But it really scared me that Des was gonna drop dead after Sayid asked him if he was ok.
Daniel Faraday is this year's Juliet for me. I love everything he does. (But I do miss Juliet. I hope she has more to do in the coming weeks.)
Slightly disappointed that it appears to be 2004 on the freighter. (I'm still holding out hope that it really isn't. Like I was with Kate being one of the six, I'm 80/20 on it being 2004. Oh, and I'm 40/60 on Aaron being one of the 6.) Does that mean that Grizzly Jack's flash-forward is roughly present time?
Michael's gotta be Ben's man on the freighter. I can't wait for that reveal.
Even though I wasn't crazy about last week's episode, I'm still comfortable saying that Lost is 5 for 5 this year.
