Line of the night – “What year were you born?” “Uhhh 1931?” - Hurley
I seriously can’t believe we are a week away from the Season Finale. I will pray on a daily basis that they do not end the series the way that the writers are currently foreshadowing…with Flight 815 safely landing in Los Angeles and every one is alive and well to lead their lives without ever knowing eachother. But these writers are brilliant, and there is always more than meets the eye with this show!
A repeat of last week’s final scene as Daniel enters the Hostiles camp in 1977. He holds a gun at Richard as he looks for Ellie, but then gets shot in the back by none other his own mother! We transition to Jack and Kate in the woods. “What if this is our chance to put things back the way they are supposed to be?” Then BAMM Jack takes a Shot Gun to the Jaw and gets kicked while he’s down by Charles Widmore. Side note: Charles went from Eddie Vedder to Ed Asner in 16 years…Does that make any sense? Remember that he was officially banished from the island around 1993 (when Alex was on the swings) and looked the way he does in 2007.
Ellie realizes that Jack and Kate are not part of the Dharma Initiative and she orders them to be placed in her tent.
Thirty Years Later and Richard is building a Ship in a bottle, could it be the “Black Rock” perhaps? John Locke arrives in “The Others” camp with Sun and Benry. Richard thinks John looks different. John’s response, “I have a purpose now!” and smirks. Ben explains to Sun a little reveal about Richard, “He’s kind of an Advisor, and he’s been doing that job for a very very long time.” Damn I want a Richard flashback! Please!
Sun shows Richard the Dharma recruit picture from 1977. Richard says he remembers them very clearly because he watched them all die. Well that doesn’t sound promising. John insists that Richard come with him into the jungle for a little excursion and they leave.
WHOOSH to 1977 Hostiles camp, and a bloody Jack looks like Tyler Durden and maybe just as crazy. “We can put things back the way they were supposed to be. Our plane never crashes, and everyone we’ve lost since we’ve been here will still be alive.” Kate doesn’t like that idea. Jack wants to wipe away all the misery like it never happened. Kate seems to think that it wasn’t misery that they had (referring to their personal relationship). Jack thinks “enough of it was”…Damn Jack, like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals, but the scar….that scar will remain.
Ellie enters her Lord of the Rings tent and is pretty sure that Jack and Kate are from the future as well. “When I was 17 years old, a man came to me and told me to bury the bomb underground, he said he was from the future, then he disappeared right in front of my bloody eyes!” Now this time around he says he is her son, so she wants some answers. Jack explains that if they follow what is in Daniel’s diary, then she can take it back (shooting her son), and none of this would have ever happened. The bomb is located in a tunnel that is directly beneath the Dharma Village.
WHOOSH and we are watching Sawyer get his ass pummeled by Radzinsky. By the way, Radzinsky is officially the biggest D-Bag in the Dharma Initiative. Horace tries to stop the beating because LaFleur’s not gonna talk. Security Phil steps in and says, “I can make him talk”. Wham – Juliet gets cracked in the grill. Correction, Security Phil is now officially the biggest D-Bag.
Transition to Dr. Chang noticing Hurley, Miles and Jin escaping into the woods, and he questions them to determine if they are really from the future. “What year were you born?” “Uhhh 1931!” “Ah so that makes you 46.” “Yeah , yes I am.” Great exchange. “Alright dude, we are from the future.” Miles admits that he really is his son and it’s such a sweet little sentimental moment for the Chang boys.
Back to the hostile camp and Ellie is going to take Jack/Kate to the bomb. Charles Widmore says something in a whisper and I hear the words, “about your condition” as he touched her stomach. So in 1977, Ellie must be pregnant with Daniel. Which I find ridiculous because he looks at least 5 years older than me.
WHOOSH and we are in present time 2007 on the island. According to Richard, when Ben turned the donkey wheel, there was a bright light, loud noise, and then JOHN just disappeared. John, Ben and Richard are still walking through the woods and John comes up on the Overturned Nigerian Plane. Richard has 3 minutes to get it right and help a man in the woods with a bullet wound. Ben says, “Who is that man John?” John’s response – “ME!” This whole scene is very Back to the Future II-esque with John watching himself getting medical attention from Richard. Ben asks another good question, “How did you know when to be here?” John’s response, “the island told me.”
WHOOSH to Dharma camp in 1977 and D-Bag Radzinsky agrees to put Sawyer and Juliet on the sub if LaFleur draws a diagram of the Hostiles Base Camp location. We transition back over the Hostiles and Kate wants no part of setting off the bomb. I guess she really doesn’t want to risk having to land safely in Los Angeles and being tried in a court of law by the U.S. Government. Hostile Extra #3 raises his rifle and is about to shoot Kate…Gun shots are fired and OMG KATE JUST GOT SHOT! No wait, it’s Hostile Extra #3 and it’s Sayid who shot him! Ohhh yeah, Badass Sayid is back! So now Jack tries to sell Sayid on the idea of blowing up the Jughead Hydrogen Bomb to change the past. “We vanished from the plane and ended up here, ended up now…to change things! This is our destiny!” (A reminder that Season 5’s theme is “Destiny Calls”)
Back to the Hostiles and I actually really like the team of Jack, Ellie, Richard and Sayid. They remind me of the Goonies or the A-Team off to save the world. They go underwater and enter the tunnels. Badass Sayid has a great line, “If this works, you just saved us all, and if it doesn’t then at least you’ll put us out of our misery.”
WHOOSH to 2007 at the Others Beach camp. John wants to leave right then and there to go see Jacob, but first he asks if every one of the others is there. Richard mentions that this is everyone, except there’s another group at the Temple. (Seriously I think this is going to be very important later…the temple group…could it be a much older Hurley, Miles, Jin etc.)? John’s going to take them all to see Jacob. Richard starts to think that John is going to be trouble and Ben says, “Why do you think I tried to kill him!”
Back to the Submarine Dock in 1977 and Sawyer and Juliet have some cutesy dialogue about being free when they get back to the mainland. Juliet says, I love you!” “I love you back…” When all of the sudden D-bag Security Phil brings down Home-wrecker Kate into the belly of the submarine. It reminds me of that scene from Saving Silverman when Jason Biggs (Darren) is happy and in love with Sandy, and then his old girlfriend, Amanda Peet’s character Judith. shows up. WTF? The submarine dives into the ocean and away they go.
Jack and the rest of my favorite Lost characters enter a large temple room which I guess were supposed to assume is underneath the Dharma camp. They find a large covered object, and wouldn’t be cool if they uncovered Rose and Bernard tied up and gagged like Indy and Marion at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Back to 2007, our final scene shows the others making their way down the beach to the “Nomadic” LOST theme music that they play toward the end of every season. John reveals that he is not going to see Jacob to find out how to find their friends. “I am going to see Jacob so I can kill him!” WOW…I didn’t think I was going to hear that!
BAMM END CREDITS.
Did anyone notice of Amy and Baby Ethan also got on the sub with the rest of the woman and children (including Mrs. Chang and baby Miles).
We’ve got 2 hours left in Season 5, and so far these last few episodes have not left me with that classic “HOLY CRAP, AWWW YEAH!” LOST ending, so hopefully the Season Finale will deliver.
Are Rose and Bernard finally gonna show up? Maybe there the one’s at the temple?
Test - 1 day to the premiere
