 LOST
There's No Place Like Home (part 1)
aka: "John Locke: This is your life"
by Peter SorensenIn the eleventh episode of Season Four, the face-off between the Losties and the mercenaries from the freighter ignites. Jack follows the sat phone into the jungle while Sayid rushes to get people off the island. In flashforwards we see the Oceanic Six return to civilization and begin to put their lives back together.
*loud booming voice* IT BEGINS! *end of booming voice*
The first of the three-part season finale is over now, and I want to run screaming through the hills because it will be two more weeks before Lost returns. Why, television gods, WHHHhhhhyyy!?!? On a related note, I plan to spend next Thursday wandering my neighborhood and smashing any television that has Grey's Anatomy on. Take that, poorly written hospital drama! That's what you get for messing with my Lost timeslot! |

Cabin Fever
aka: "John Locke: This is your life"
by Peter SorensenIn the eleventh episode of Season Four, Locke takes Hurley and Ben on a quick pit stop (literally) before finding Jacob's cabin. Keamy returns to the boat, sunny disposition intact, life aboard the freighter becomes increasingly perilous, and no one tells Locke what he can't... well, you know the rest.
Recovering from the emo-liciously bad episode last week took some doing, but man am I glad we had this episode to follow it up. It's an unwritten rule that any Hurley or Locke-centric episode is going to kick some cinematic ass, and this week did not disappoint.
Chock full of self-referential scenes and sneaky easter eggs-a-plenty, this week's episode also returned to the classic "flashback" formula, showing us the life and times of John B. Locke (the "B" stands for Buttercup). |

Something Nice Back Home
aka: "Charlie Brown Syndrome Attacks!"
by Peter SorensenIn the tenth episode of Season Four, Jacks health is seriously comprimised, forcing Juliet and Kate to work together to save him. Something goes terribly wrong as Sawyer, Claire, Aaron and Miles make their trek back to the beach from Locke's camp. Also, Jack mopes. A lot.
It had to happen.
After being on the receiving end of a cyclonic 1-2-Vaughn/Goddard knock-out punch of an episode last week, I knew that there would be no possible way to follow that up and that I would undoubtedly leave this week's episode feeling let down and disappointed. Sufficed to say, I hate being right sometimes. |

The Shape of Things to Come
aka: "The Linus Ultimatum"
by Peter SorensenIn the ninth episode of Season Four, a body washes up on the beach and leads to another startling discovery on the island. Meanwhile, Keamy and his mercenaries finally reach the barracks, and all-out battle ensues, claiming more than a few lives. Also, Ben somehow becomes my new favorite character.
For everything that I just experienced over the last hour, I feel like I should have paid for admission.
From the very opening of tonight's episode until it's spectacular end, I was completely and wholeheartedly enthralled. There was not a moment that I wasn't beside myself with fanatic glee, there was not a second that my heart didn't race with anticipation. In a season marked by a heroic return to form and incredible writing, tonight's episode stands out as one of the most phenomenal hours I have ever spent in front of my television. |

Meet Kevin Johnson
aka: "5 weeks of ripping my hair out"
by Peter SorensenIn the eighth episode of Season Four, the complete and total mindf**k continues. Sayid confronts Michael (now going by Kevin Johnson) about his time away from the island and we learn where Walt is, how Michael got on the freighter crew, what his mission is, and most importantly: why he's working for Ben.
Now I know why they wanted to break off the story arc with this weeks episode: they are subtly trying to drive me insane with anticipation.
Aboard the freighter, Sayid and Desmond witness the captain "going WWE" on a pair of deserting crewmembers and decide to confront Michael for some answers. Ok, technically Sayid confronts Michael. Desmond just kinda sits around in the background with a "huhwha?" look on his face the whole time.
When asked why he's on the boat Michael responds "I'm here to die". Wow, who could have guessed that Michael would turn emo in his time off the island? |
