It’s 7:19am and I’m writing my LOST finale recap for The Disney Blog. Les is taking the kids for a couple of hours and I’m immersing myself in LOST. It’s too much to say anything right here but holy wow, I can’t believe it’s over. I dreamed about Lost all night and kept waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it. Is that weird?
OK. Just wanted to say I’ll be back later. But before I go, here’s my favorite quote from last night:
“I don’t believe in a lot of things but I do believe in duct tape.” -Miles (Oh, underused Miles, how I love you!)
Oh, and if you were a Skater. I’m sorry. But I was right. (And so happy I was!!) To quote Doc Jensen and the Suliet fans around the world when asked who Sawyer would choose? “That was decided 30 years ago!” (WOOT!)
Go ahead and give me your initial thoughts. I’ll be back (relatively) soon…
**ok, it’s up! Let me know what you think!**

I read a theory by Doc Jensen about how in the end of Lost our two realities will keep going but in sideways LA, everyone (hopefully) will remember The Island and their experiences will merge in their head making a full complete redeemed character. (I can’t remember what was going to happen to the poor Island Losties.) I kind of like this theory. You know I was dead-set against them NOT knowing about The Island. But if they get to have redeemed better lives, being reunited with their loved ones AND remember The Island, then I kinda like that.
And as I watched last night’s episode featuring our beloved Hurley, I thought this might really be the case. It seemed to good to be true–Hurley is loved, he’s rich, he’s found his true love, he remembers The Island and he’s happy! THEN DESMOND HAPPENED. And that theory totally got thrown out the window. What in the world is going on with Desmond? Desmond is giving me creepy Sayid vibes–on AND off The Island…read the rest at The Disney Blog

So, I’m having a LOST revelation. More like a coming-to-terms. I had hoped our flash-sideways were untrue. I was hoping for love and contentment and redemption ON The Island. I see that is not going to happen. I think The Island is broken. It’s puppet masters may be everlasting but they certainly are not omnipotent. The interesting connections between characters we had in previous seasons’ flashbacks always made us feel that “destiny” was at work. That they were all “meant” to be on The Island. But what if we’ve got it backwards? What if this “GOOD” LA flash-sideways is the REAL way it was supposed to be? And what if Jacob and his Nemesis messed it up? So, everything we’ve loved about The Island connections and character development were really just the working out of “destiny” trying to fix what Jacob, et al did with their pettiness? Maybe the good I saw on The Island (which therefore made me NOT want them to get off The Island) was really just a glimpse of the GOOD that was SUPPOSED to be? Did that make sense? Probably not. The point is, I’m trying to like the flash-sideways. I’m trying to see that GOOD has happened to our beloved characters OUTSIDE of The Island and the horribleness of their pre-Island lives was really BECAUSE OF The Island. Is that crazy talk? …read more
