Join LOST: Live – The Lighthouse

As we rush headlong into the finale for the best television show of all time (and I will gladly defend the honor of LOST to anyone), let’s pause and cherish the last few episodes. Let’s not be in such a hurry to get answers that we fail to enjoy the mystery. 

Let’s not forget to savor the character development. When was the last show to have such richly drawn characters as the hotpocket toting, lottery-winning, dharma van jump-starting, I see dead people Hugo Reyes?

Some day–not far from now–we’ll miss the eager anticipation we had each week to find out if we’ll hear the godzilla-like rumblings of the smoke monster, or debate over the water cooler if Henry Gale is really an other, or ponder the meaning of Jack’s tatoo, or even choose sides as to who Kate will end up with (come on, you know you did that once upon a time). In under half a year, we’ll no longer share Charley’s (excuse me, Cholly’s) interogative: “where are we?” You’ll be sad; you’ll compare every other show to LOST only to find them sorely lacking. You’ll watch seasons of shows with some kind of twist languish on because their writers won’t have the guts to end the show .

No, you’ll wish you could go back to that time of wonder, but it will be tougher than convincing the Oceanic six to return. Then, you’ll fondly recall this moment.

So what does Kate do? What is it that she does in this episode? We know that Kate will go after Sawyer; is that what she does, or is it something else? I hope it’s not just go after Sawyer; that sounds a little boring, and we all know that the writers are incapable of boredom.

What Kate does is not as big of a question as the ones last week brought up:

• What’s up with the temple? Didn’t smokey drag our unarmed French man into the temple? Or was that under the temple?
• Is that a re-born Sayid? a revived Sayid? Is it Jacob in Sayid’s body?
• Do we have two sets of others? The others (Ben’s crew) and the other others (the temple others)? What did the other others think of Ben’s others hanging out in Other-town?
• Are we seeing two realities, like a split universe? Are we seeing what would have happened had there been no crash of 815? Was that even flight 815 (I don’t think it ever said what flight it was (not to mention what year) — okay, now I’m getting a little wacky here. I better stop theorizing and start getting the live blog under way

We’re back live blogging the premiere of LOST’s final season, titled, “LAX” parts 1 and 2.

Now, I’m a proponent of Faraday’s original time travel theory (Whatever Happened, Happened), but I fear that may not be the case. Alas, if so, there’s not much I can do, but watch. Either way, it promises to rock the free world. I’ve got my LOST t-shirt (the Arrow station), and I’m gearing up for the first hundred visions live blog of LOST for 2010. I hope you join us: You can View LOST: Season 6 Premiere: LAX Live Blog Here.
