Lost 5.01 - Because You Left
All I have to say is... SHOW! SHOW YOURE BACK! I missed you so!
First, the likes:
- Daniel Dae Kim is totally on the cast list still!!! Carlton said earlier that Sun "believes" her husband is dead. Yes, this gives me hope. HES JUST BEHIND THE VEIL!!! Ahem. Wrong fandom. Moving on...
- Sawyer bitchslapping Daniel. That was kind of amazing. GO SAWYER!
- Hurley wanting a codename. Awww Hurley. Just go ask Sawyer! I vote for Stay-Puff
- Death by dishwasher. Don't lie people, that was BAD ASS. I think that beats Sayid's breakdancing neck breaking. Also, I am now going to be VERY careful around all my home appliances. Jeez. Between Lost and SPN, I'm going to need to bubblewrap my entire house.
- I love how we've decided that, in Lost, you can't change the past. I'm sure some people are going to be mad - although time travel theory hurts my head, I don't believe its usually accepted as the way that Lost is doing it - but I like it. This totally eliminates the whole 'grandfather paradox'. For us poor non physicists who are all into time travel theory (or at least me), this makes my head not hurt, and is going to make this a lot easier to follow, I think. However, you do seem to be able to change the future by.. implanting memories in the past? That confuses me. But more on that later.
- Sawyer is totally grieving for Kate, who I guess he thinks is dead. Thats sweet. Because I am a hardcore Skater. Though, I could totally make him happier. I'm not a confused crazy bitch. Jus' sayin'.
- I like that Charlotte is having headaches and nosebleeds. Not that I like that shes in danger, because I think shes an interesting character, and its too early to kill her off. But I like the consistancy. I was wondering if we were going to see that phenomenon like we did in the Constant. What I don't understand is why Charlottes the only one having issues.
The dislikes:
- Sawyer being obsessed about getting a shirt. Seriously dude, you've never cared before. It was kinda annoying. Besides, why couldnt the flashing knock off all of Sawyer's clothes?
- Locke is stupid. Doesn't he remember what happened the LAST TIME he went to explore that plane?! I'll give you a clue. It rhymes with Moon Fries. Jus' sayin'.
- I feel like this season is going to have us jumping everytime John is threatened, because they're going to convince us that THIS is the time that he dies. Lame show, since we know he first has to get off the island and talk to the 6 before dying.
- What was with the scene in the airport with Sun and Widmore? That was random, and dropped really quickly. Hopefully we will see more in the future, and that doesn't go the way of a certain four-toed statue.
- Miles. Seriously, this guy just gets on my nerves. You're a smartass, but an annoying smartass. Kinda like Sawyer, but less hot, no southern accent, not nearly as funny, and plain annoying. Hmm.
- John 'bleeding to death'. Now I'm no doctor, but seriously, that didn't exactly look too threatening... You know, I'd expect bright red spurting blood if he was bleeding to death, you know, from being shot in the femoral artery or something. And that tourniquet was totally not necessary.
- Charlotte is the only one having issues. Whats up with that?
- Desmond is living on a boat?! Really? Why the hell would he want to do that?
- My ABC's timing was all weird - the show ended at like 8:53. WTF?! Fail ABC. Fail.
Memorable Quotes:
"Either we're in the past... or we're in the future" - Thank you captain obvious
"Whatever he says, do the opposite" - Ah Sayid. Its like a mixed up version of "Ben Says" (which, incidentally, is a game in this ridiculously hawt fanfic - if you're into that sort of thing Over at Henry Gale Lovers
"Danny Boy"
"What does it do" "It points north, John"
"Ghost of Christmas Future!" - You know, techincally, its the ghost of Christmas Past.
Questions:
- Who is asking for the blood test on Aaron and Kate? I vote for Widmore, given that (mini spoiler) in the next ep, Sun really seems intent on defending that person. But why? Hmm... Interesting.
- Daniel is, at some point, working in the Dharma initiative just as the orchid is being built... Is this another awesome time travel thing? Or has Daniel been to the island before this trip? He does seem to understand a lot about time travel ON THE ISLAND, as opposed to just theory. I feel like this guy is going to be super important this season. Also, how (in the future) does he know so much about the Dharma initiative? Are these 'memories' that were constructed by him going back in time at some point? Or did he actually work for the initiative beforehand? Does that even make sense? Damn this time travel thing.
- Speaking of time travel. The Others seem to be... impervious to it. You noticed how Richard told John that the Others hadn't gone anywhere - John had? If the Others are impervious to time travel, that could explain the non-aging of Richard. But how the heck do they manage this? Also, do you have to be an original Other to be impervious to this? Because clearly, Ben and Juliette can age. Who else is an original Other? Ethan seems that he might be. I hope that this means that we get to learn lots about the Others' history this season!
- So why is Charlotte the only one who is affected by the constant time traveling? Why aren't the rest of them having issues?
- Why is Desmond so special? Is it because he is Dan's constant? And what the heck is Dan's mother going to do?
I love this show.
