Last night, Dr. N and I stayed awake until after mid-night watching the season finale of Lost. Since we have an online Bible study that meets at 9 on Thursdays, we waited an hour before watching the two-hour shocker. Thank you TIVO!! And because we are Lost addicts, there was no way we could watch just part of the episode.
As always, the writers treated us with a few answers and left us with a few dozen questions. But that's part of why I love the show. The biggest question of the night for me was, "How does baby Aaron stay alive and thrive without nourishment?" A five-week-old infant eat every two-three hours. Yet, little Aaron looks like a 15 pound chubby bundle despite the fact that no one is feeding him. Not even on a raft floating ten hours in the South Pacific. That's been my biggest pet peeve of the show and I couldn't write a review without stating that. And I am not alone. I read Shannon's post and she too had the same question as did many of her commentors (and with the #1 family/mommy blog, Shannon gets more comments in two hours than I get in a weeks worth of posts).
Here are some bulleted thought.
- I loved how they ended last season with the coffin question only to give the answer a year later. And Last year, I thought, "it's got to be Ben or Locke in the coffin." But then as the season unfolded I thought...well that blows the Locke or Ben theory...Well, I guess not! Shows what I know. And the fact that Jeremy Bantham is an English Philospher like John Locke should have given me a hint, but I just was not going there.
- I loved the Penny/Desmond ending and Ben better leave her alone.
- The island moving...I cannot even go there. Time traveling bunnies...I loved that line.
- GI Psycho Rambo freaked me out.
- I still have lots of questions about "Never Aging Man."
- I am starting to like Miles...in a creepy, can't stand him but he interests me kind of way.
- Charlotte - now she interests me! Was she born on the island? Some say she is Annie, others theorize that Annie and Ben married and she died via pregnancy and looked like Juliette. And there is also a theory that Annie died during Ben's mass extermination.
- Speaking of Jules I noticed her sigh at seeing Sawyer swim to shore...perhaps those to will bond.
- What is going to happen to the people in the raft with Daniel.
- Is Locke going to merge the survivors with Others?
- I cried out loud when Sawyer jumped from the air plane. Who would have guessed in season 1 that he and not Jack would emerge the real hero of the show?
- I also cried with Sun when Jin was blown up.
- So Sun hates Jack now and blames him for Jin's death did I catch that correctly?

Where did the island get moved to? I thought it was cruel not to even give us a glimpse of the island post moving! Why is Jack so upset at Locke's death? Is it like the end of faith since Locke always fights for faith and Jack for Science and now Locke is dead? (I know that is an embarrassingly simple statement, but I think you know what i mean) Yes, Sun deserves an award for her acting last night. I can't believe you didn't mention the "Kenny Rogers" comment last night! I laughed very hard. How about that Kate/Sawyer kiss before he leaped out of the helicopter? My oh my! Can't wait for 2009! Take care, Julie
First, you blog design is so stinkin' cute!!
I too am very curious about a possible Charlotte/Annie connection. At the very least, I hope they will address what happened to Annie.
2009 can't come soon enough !
I didn't remember about Annie so thanks for throwing that theory into the mix. It was a great finale. I especially loved the Sawyer/Kate scenes in the helicopter. Btw,that is a cute pic of Sawyer you found! Love him!!
I cried twice - Jin and Des/Penny. I thought this episode was written so well. I was very enjoyable to watch. I love Sawyer and if he ends up with Jules I will be very upset. :) It will be a long wait until Feb 09 but hopefully the writers will make it worth it. Good theory about Annie!
I have definately thought the same thing about Aaron the past few episodes. Darma baby formula, maybe?
I know what you mean about waiting a until the season starts again. That show seriously keeps me on my toes and I am consistently saying "I'm confused"
