I haven’t written about Lost for awhile as I’ve had to process it to a large degree and my schedule this season hasn’t been as easy to watch it in a timely manner.
Last night, however, proved to me one vital clue about this journey we have been on which I will pontificate to avoid spoilers after the jump:

Thank you Elyssa.
Of course, this is brilliant.

What came first? Richard Alpert or the Island? I keep wondering if Alpert took his shoes off if he would only have four toes.
The last two weeks of Lost have been interesting. We get to see John Locke last week get killed by Ben only to eat a mango and Sawyer/James Ford/Jim LaFleur’s journey. Other than Locke’s escapades in the outside world, I really like Lost better when the folks are on the island. We always knew that Sawyer had the hero in him, and honestly I have enjoyed his journey from snarky conman to reluctant leader much better than Jack’s “I’m the Leader” to groveling believer.
It was said in another forum that Jack is the man of science, John is the man of faith and that Sawyer is the man of heart. I thought that was an excellent description of the three men. Does this have anything to do with the base of the show? Maybe. Maybe not.
More observations after the jump:

I haven’t done a Lost recap in a couple of weeks. Sorry ’bout that but let’s move forward and pretend that I did.
The only word I can describe this week’s episode is that everyone is in a state of urgency.
I always have a lot of questions about Lost, as does any fan of the show. My big one this week is why was Richard Albert off the island recruiting Juliet and can seamlessly move back and forth with no issues it seems while now all of our beloved Losties who are going back and forth in time getting brain goo from the time travel?
I know what you are saying. Albert wasn’t even on last night, ‘Coma. Still, it’s what ran back and forth in my cranium.
More after the jump.

It’s been light blogging here at Newscoma this week mainly for two reasons. One, I know this is boring to hear again (and even worse to be living) but I never really got over that last bout of bronchitis last month so I’m sick as a dog. I’m afraid this one is a bit worse than usual but I’m not going to the doctor as it really won’t make a difference. A little bed rest and I should be good as new.
The other reason is that I’ve been busy in the non-virtual world.
However, you know that I watched Lost last night.
I have a variety of questions about the show and that’s why I dig Lost. For everything they answer, they bring up four questions to replace it.
And so we don’t spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen it, I pontificate after the jump.

There is definitely new footage in this video from the new season. What do you see?

I enjoy breaking each episode down of Lost. It’s one of those things I have had fun with this strike-stricken season.
Of course after last night’s brain-exploding extravaganza, I found myself seriously believing this is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched from the pilot where I’m truly enmeshed in what’s going on. We started two weeks ago with the first hour of the finale and there was a three hour showing last night repeating that episode and spiraling into an amazing finale.
It’s good TV.
So let’s break it down after the break. I don’t think there is anyway to get everything all the way in.

I’m going to have to wrap my brain around Lost’s finale.
All I have to say is that Hurley was playing chess with Mister Eko.
That’s all I can say tonight. I’m wrapping my brain around it all. A lot happened. My brain is fried.
So while I’m figuring it out, go to Jorge Garcia’s blog which is really his blog and which is charming and is as navel-gazing as the rest of us.
I adore smart television. Regardless of Lost’s missteps last year, it was amazing this season.
Bloody amazing.

Well, I guess it’s a bad thing to use a small gold statue of Jesus Christ as a weapon. Want to know how I know?
It happened tonight on Lost.
Too much to think about in these initial moments after the conclusion of tonight’s episode, so what I have to say goes after the jump.

So, if your mom is named Emily then you get to choose an object, and if you choose the right object, you are to become the Island’s next Dalai Lama?
Okay, Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof have changed the rules again and my initial reaction is WTF? I’ve also been saying to myself that Destiny is a fickle bitch because that’s what this episode was about.
Let’s talk Lost after the jump.
02
Jack is back and we see him drunk and drugged out acting all … well, Jack.
Spoilers if you haven’t seen it after the jump …

Lots happened on Lost last night. I don’t know where to start but I think I’m starting to understand why Michael Emerson was signed for two episodes and the Powers That Be kept him around.
Spoilers about “The Shape of Things To Come” after the jump.
