Lost: Call The Movers! (Or, What The Hell You Say To Me?)

So, if you haven't seen tonight's episode of Lost (5/08/08), you may want to skip this post because it will be packed full of spoilers.

I generally have no problems with Lost. Despite the fact that it leaves me in the dark a bit, I find myself enjoying the mystery and tire of hearing people whine about, "But I don't understaaaaaaaand." (Then turn off the TV!)

However, last night. Whoa.

I was okay with all the crazy crackheaded stuff they dealt us throughout the show (for the most part) until that last directive that Locke gave Ben.

For those who didn't watch and want to get a big fat spoiler, Locke was given the directive, once they reached the cabin, to "move the island."

To that I say:

How exactly do you "move" an island? I'm under the impression that this isn't something you can do with a UHaul, but who knows?

I mean, it's a good idea in theory. Remember those family members or friends of your parents that your family didn't really like, but they kept coming around anyway? You'd act like you weren't at home, but they didn't leave, they just kept knocking and knocking?

Seriously, what better way to freak out the people who annoy the hell out of you and just won't go away than to suddenly move. Poof! And there can't be anyone more annoying than those who just want to nuke your ass. Right?

Of all the things I expected Locke to tell Ben, that wasn't one of the ideas that crossed my mind. And I have some pretty far out thoughts.

Despite the WTF of it all, I still find myself screaming at the commercials (that's right - I don't have DVR OR Tivo) to end so I can get back to the show.

I think there's a possibility that a major clue was given in the episode preceding this one regarding what's really going on during the conversation between Hurley and Jack in Hurley's psych ward. Or, they could just be fucking with us again. They're so good at that.

So truly, despite the constant WTFs, I still enjoy the show and find myself more annoyed by the whiners than anything.

It also appears that John Locke must be around 47 at the time of this show being that it takes place in 2004 and it seems he might have been born around 1957. I don't know that's a fact. Just going by the Buddy Holly vinyl and the bobby socks.

So what were your general thoughts on the episode? Have you given up on Lost? Have you started whining? Or are you just along for the ride?

I totally loved this episode. Yes it was more major head scratching but I actually laughed out loud when Locke said to "move the island." With all the magnetic fields and time shifting going on, moving an island isn't that far fetched. Particularly if you look at other episodes where various Dharma objects are showing up around the world (like that polar bear skeleton in the Sahara). It would help explain that somewhat.

I'm much more curious in the deal with Christian Sheppard though. We've seen him before on the island and in the flash forwards with Jack. But what's his deal? Is he a ghost? Is he the smoke monster in disguise? I have a feeling there's a whole new level of people/mysteries that will be revealed next season. And somehow it all ties back to the Black Rock slave ship. I think. Maybe.

Totally believe it will move in time, not space. ;)

"Totally believe it will move in time, not space. ;)"

Hell! That's even more screwed up!

And that's going to take an even BIGGER U-Haul. :p

"I think. Maybe."

Right! LOL

I've been pretty good at figuring out a number of things on the show so far, but I definitely didn't see that coming.
