 LOST
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. |

 LOST
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? |

 LOST
Ji Yeon
aka: "Must...have...panda bear!"
by Peter SorensenIn the seventh episode of Season Four, the complete and total mindf**k continues. Juliet lets a secret slip, and it could mean tragedy for Sun and Jin. Meanwhile, Desmond and Sayid meet the rest of the Boaties, including someone with a very familiar face (c'mon, you should know this by now).
I curse whoever it was over at Lost that first pitched the idea of flashforwards.
Sure, it blew me away last season and left all of us collectively scratching our heads, but now it just feels like we're being tossed around in some kind of schoolyard "keep-away" match. Is it a flashback, or is it a flashforward? Is it the past, is it the future? I suppose I would have been genuinely surprised by tonight's episode, had I not seen it coming a mile away, or had they not prematurely given away the twist.

 LOST
The Other Woman
aka: "Get it? Other? Woman? Other woman?"
by Peter SorensenIn the sixth episode of Season Four, the complete and total mindf**k continues. Daniel and Charlotte disappear into the woods on a dangerous secret mission and Juliet goes after them. Kate and Jack reunite, and in flashbacks we learn that Goodwin and Ms. Burke "had a thaaaang.... goin' awn."
Ah, that loveable scamp Jack Shephard, always running around getting into zany hijinks whilst trying to decide between Betty or Veronica... what a rascal!
In tonights episode of Lost (which is sadly the penultimate episode of this story arc) we learn a bit more about the relationship between Juliet and Goodman... or more to the point: Juliet, Goodman, and Goodman's wife. |

 LOST
The Constant
aka: "Back to the Butterfly Effect Future"
by Peter SorensenIn the fifth episode of Season Four, the complete and total mindf**k continues. Desmond and Sayid hit some turbulence on the way to the boat, resulting in Desmond experiencing some rather odd "side effects", namely having his consciousness travel back and forth between the past and the present. Alright, you can pick your jaws up off the floor, put your eyeballs back in their sockets, reassemble your exploded brain parts, and start breathing again - the episode is over. I am currently typing this standing up because I found that, due to the obscene amounts of adrenaline coursing through my veins and thoughts rushing through my head, I am unable to sit still.
Best... Episode... Yet. |

Eggtown
aka: "Kate Austin: Ho (fo' sho)"
by Peter SorensenIn the fourth episode of Season Four, the complete and total mindf**k continues. Locke starts to lose it (if he ever had it in the first place), Kate uses her feminine wiles to arrange a meeting between Miles and Ben (and a meeting between her and Sawyer's sheets), and in the flashforward, Kate stands trial for her crimes. If you're anything like me, you get a rush of adrenaline when there's a Kate-centric episode of Lost. Of course, if you're anything like me, you have a small closet in your house that you've turned into a Kate Austin love-shrine, complete with candles, an entire wall of Evangeline Lilly photos you took while hiding in her shrubs, the glass she drank out of at the last promotional tour, and a lock of her hair that you snuck onto set to steal and then smuggled out of Hawaii underneath your baseball cap.
But I digress... |
