(Lost) Smokey Gets Things Done: Major Spoiler Alert




Let me start by saying not only am confused, I am very upset.
Haha.
These writers are probably some of the best of our generation.

Lost, with all its teasing and 'I will tell you next week,' has been somewhat abusive to its fans.
I, personally, started watching last summer and didn't have to wait a week to see the next episode.
I clicked it on hulu and was perfectly happy.
Now, things have changed.
Not only has Lost been keeping secrets, they are mass murders.

Here is where we walk into spoiler territory.
If you haven't heard: Jin, Sun, and Sayid are dead.
Seemingly, Lapidus is too, but we still aren't sure.

What happened, you ask?

Not Locke, Sayid, and Jack "rescued" the escapees (Sun, Jin, Lapidus, Sawyer, Kate, and Claire) from Widmore and took them to the plane in order to leave the island.
However, when he got on it, he found explosives rigged to the electrical wiring and told them Widmore had done it in order to kill them all at once.
Therefore, they needed to take the submarine instead.
Sawyer and Jack(mostly Sawyer) devised a plan to get everyone on the sub except Not Locke, and Jack decided for himself not to go.
However, in the process of hijacking, Kate got shot(not killed) and the tables were turned.
Jack managed to knock Not Locke into the ocean, but he was stuck on the submarine while trying to carry in Kate.
Claire was left behind.
"You don't want to be on that sub" Not Locke told her.

On the sub, Jack discovers a ticking bomb inside his backpack.
So I think "Who cares, Sayid should be able to diffuse a bomb"
Wrong...
As everyone kind of stared at it, Sayid told them if they pulled the two wires out simultaneously then the bomb should "in theory" be inert.
Jack, however, had another theory.
If they let the bomb run out nothing would happen.
He told them Not Locke cannot kill them because he would have already and instead wants them to kill eachother.
He needs them to be dead in order to leave the island.
Kind of like when he was sitting on the beach with Jacob and said "Do you know how badly I want to kill you right now?"
I'm assuming he cannot kill any of the candidates.
Well there goes all that senseless running in the woods from the smoke monster from seasons 1-5.
Haha.
Anyway...
Sawyer, no longer trusting Jack after getting Juliet killed, pulls out the wires anyway.
This only making the time run out faster.
Sayid, heroically, picked up the bomb and told Jack he "will need Desmond at the bottom of the well" he didn't kill him.
Jack asked why he was telling him all this and Sayid replied "because its going to be you"
The new Jacob?
Then he ran off and...blew up.
Just like that.
As water began flooding the sub, it began to fall apart.
Jack told Hurley to take Kate.
Hurley "I have to go after Sayid"
Jack "THERE IS NO SAYID!"
:'[

Sun was stuck between a pipe and the submarine wall, where Jin and Sawyer were trying to free her.
Sawyer was hit in the head and knocked out, so Jack had to save him instead of helping Jin.
Apparently, Lapidus had been knocked out by a falling piece of the sub, this is someone else's view though, not my own. I didn't see it happen.
I was too busy crying over Sayid.
Sun told Jin to leave her, but he wouldn't abandon her after they had just reunited.
The sub filled up with water and they drifted away slowly as their hands parted from holding.
Wow.
Like I said, mass murderers.

Hurley, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer made it to the island in one piece.
"Jin and Sun?" Kate asked.
And then Hurley began crying, followed by Kate.
Jack went down to the ocean and began crying himself.
It was most devastating to see Hurley cry because he watched Illana blow up without more than a blink.
He talks to ghosts everyday and was pretty brave in blowing up the Black Rock.
I guess it was all just too much.

Sawyer was unconscious, but I am sure he will be feeling guilty when he wakes up.
Sure, Jack killed Juliet, but Sawyer killed Jin, Sun, and Sayid.
Who is the bad guy now?
No, I am kidding, I like Sawyer.


When Sayid died I literally screamed "NO!!!!" so loudly my dad came in to ask what happened.
My brother: "Shes fine dad, shes just watching Lost."
He was my favorite character, and so amazing, and now he is gone.

I hate and love what these writers have done to me.
I vow to never be so invested in a show the way I am with this one.

Jin and Sun dying was terrible.
So sad, Jin never even got to hold his daughter.
In the flashsideways she doesn't even exist.
I am thinking these two are no longer candidates.
My friend insists "They aren't dead" and that their flash sideways mean something.
But what could they possibly.

As much as I want to kill Sawyer for not listening to Jack, I get he doesn't trust him after the Juliet thing.
Afterall, we don't know if Jack's theory is correct.
All signs point to yes, but then again the writers are evil.
They turn smoke monsters into people and kill major characters.
They might be just toying with us.
Haha.



They have an episode called "What They Died For" coming up in two weeks so, i'm thinking we can expect an explanation and a few more major deaths. =[


What I am looking for in coming episodes:
1. Miles, Ben, and Richard.
Where the hell are those guys!?

2. Hurley maybe seeing the ghosts of Sayid, Sun, and Jin. Maybe Lapidus?

3. The Adam and Eve stones.
I saw Hurley with them two weeks ago.
Who has them now?

4. What do the flash sideways' mean?
This week, not MUCH happened, there was a lot of alluding talk between Jack and Locke.
"What happened, happened."
"I wish you believed me."

5.Why isn't Kate a candidate anymore?
I think the writers just hate her, haha.

Thats all I have for now, if I think of something else I will write again.

I missed Glee watching Lost, so I will have to watch it online.
Olivia Newton John and Sue? A must see.

Finally, the finale of Lost is now 2 and a half hours long.
Buckle up, it is going to be a bumpy ride.
I plan on watching this episode again.
Why?
Because I am an emotional cutter.
