Not that I really expected to not be lost after the finale of LOST.
Note: This was my first time watching Lost in about 3 years. I gave up watching long ago when they killed off Charlie. The recap before the finale helped clear up some of the murkiness of what on earth sideways-verse was, but not totally. I get the that in the end, yes, the plane crash did happen (I would have been entirely too upset had it not) and that sideways-verse was kind of the way to allow all of the losties to find each other again and be happy. And I'm glad it ended happy and that I got to see all my favorite characters again like Boone.
But still: I want more explanation of how they traveled forwards and backwards and forwards again. I think a gigantic Lost re-watch is in order.
How did you feel about the Lost finale?

Lost Review of “Ab Aeterno”
By Paula Perry
OK Lost FANatics, Richard’s entire story is revealed in this episode, Ab Aeterno, in Latin means “Since the Beginning of time”. The Oceanic survivors went through years of tragedy and time travel to find out who the Smoke Monster is. Within several days of Richard or “Ricardo”, crashing on the island he meets Man in Black) MIB, Smokey and Jacob, the main guys running the island.
Richard crashed on the island in 1867 and now it is 2007, so he has been island bound for 140 years. He never ages and is always around, no matter what year it is. We don’t know hardly anything about him and then boom a whole show about him. I see now why he is ready to die, he lived a lie his whole life. (I liked the 1800 Richard character a lot. He was so honest, loving, and devoted, and that accent!)
It all started when his wife, Isabella is very sick and dying back in the 1800’s. He rides out for a doctor, a half-day’s journey. When Richard finally arrives riding all night through the rain, the Doc has a very bad bedside manner. They get into it, Richard only wanting to save his wife. Richard ends up pushing him away and accidently kills the Doc.
Now Richard is in prison ready to be killed for his sin of murder. A priest comes to visit Richard to absolve him of his transgression. As Richard prays for forgiveness of killing a man, the priest is like “oh no, you can’t be forgiven for the sin of murder, you must die”. Pretty harsh I thought, no slack at all.
Then in walks his savior, or is he, Mr. Whitfield. Richard wants to go to the New World, the good ol’ US of A. He is checked out like a piece of meat and since he can also speak English, he is reprieved from his death sentence and going aboard the Black Rock for the New World. He says Ricardo is now the property of one Magnus Hanso, the owner/captain of the Black Rock. Ricardo is bought by Mr. Whitfield from the priest. Wonder what souls went for back then?
So now they are traveling through some pretty heavy storms and CRASH they are on the island. Ricardo or Richard is chained below. Whitfield goes below and starts killing other prisoners that are chained. Ricardo is the last prisoner left, he screams, “Why are you doing this”? He says because eventually you will come after me to kill me. Smokey enters with his usual “whispery” entrance and kills everyone but Richard. Why is he spared?
Isabella, his dead wife, shows up. She is there to save Ricardo from Smokey or as she calls it the “Devil”. Richard tells her to run, she doesn’t want to leave him, but eventually runs up the stairs and the noises of Smokey getting lunch is heard. Poor Ricardo lost her again, or was that really Isabella?
The Man in Black (MIB) comes bearing a gift of water for Ricardo and wants to be his friend. (Something is always wanted in return.) The MIB tells Richard “HE” probably has her, Isabella. MIB refers to HIM as the devil. Ricardo asks if he is in hell. MIB says he has been there a very long time. MIB makes Richard promise he will help him before he takes the chains off. Richard, without many choices, agrees.
So now Richard is free, or is he? MIB gives instruction to Richard, just as Dogen did to Sayid, to kill Jacob with this special dagger. He even says don’t let him speak to you first, just as Dogen said. MIB tells Richard Jacob is the black smoke. So I have been thinking MIB is the smoke monster, so is it Jacob or what? I always perceived Jacob as the “good” and MIB as “evil”. Maybe it is the other way around.
MIB tells Richard the only way to get his wife back is to kill the smoke monster, knowing he will do anything for his Isabella. Ricardo says murder is wrong. MIB replies we can argue all day about right and wrong but do you want your wife back?
MIB tells Ricardo where to find Jacob and off he goes on his mission. Jacob takes the knife upon Ricardo attacking him. Richard wants to know where his wife is, Jacob doesn’t know who is talking about. Ricardo tells Jacob she is dead like me. This seems to really upset Jacob because Richard thinks he is dead. He takes Richard into the water and is drowning him. “Do you still think you’re dead”, Jacob screams.
Jacob tells Richard his name and that he brought their ship to the island. Jacob has a corked bottle of wine, comparing the corked wine to the evil on the island that must never be released. Good analogy. He then goes on explaining to Richard that the Man in Black sent him on the murder mission because he believes every man is corruptible because it is in their very nature to sin.
Recall the MIB's speech "They Come, They Fight, They Corrupt, They Destroy" Recall Jacob's "You're wrong, it only ends once. Everything before that is progress." Jacob says that he brings all of these people to the Island to prove him wrong.
Jacob tells Richard that there were many people brought to the Island before him and that they're all dead. Richard asks why Jacob didn't help any of them. Jacob says he wanted them to help themselves and to know the difference between right and wrong without him having to tell them. It would be meaningless if he had to force them to do anything. (Sounds like God’s free will for people, let them choose good or evil, right or wrong.)
This is where Richard gets his Advisor position. He could be Jacob's representative to people he brings to the Island. Richard wants something in return. First he asks for his wife back. Jacob states that he cannot do this. Second he asks to be absolved of his sins so he doesn't go to hell. Jacob states that he cannot do this either. Third, Ricardo then says he never wants to die, he wants to live forever. Jacob touches Richard's shoulder and says "Now, that I can do!" And hence, his never ending life that he just wants to end now.
Man in Black is not even upset when he finds out Richard didn’t kill Jacob. He knows that Jacob can be very convincing. Richard then says that Jacob asked him to give MIB a white stone. MIB tells Richard that if he ever changes his mind and he means "EVER" his offer still stands. And then he gives Richard his wife's gold cross.
Richard buries the cross by a bench and says goodbye to his wife. In 2007 we find Richard arriving to the same location and watch him dig it back up. He then screams over and over for the Man in Black saying that he has changed his mind about his offer.
Only Hurley shows up, he has been talking with Isabella and she wants to know why Richard buried the cross. Richard is confused and doesn’t know how Hurley knows that, Hurley says she is right here. She tells him to close his eyes and Hurley will tell him what she says "It wasn't your fault that I died. It was my time. You have suffered enough, Ricardo." Richard misses her and would do anything to be with her again. Isabella says they already are together and then she kisses him and disappears.
Back in 1867 Man in Black is sitting and overlooking the Island holding the white stone. Jacob comes to him all happy acknowledging he got the present. MIB says he doesn't have to gloat.
Jacob said as long as he is alive MIB is not going anywhere. And he said even if MIB kills him somebody else will take his place. And then MIB says the one thing that defines what side he is truly on (his own). "Then I will kill them too!"
Jacob then gives MIB the bottle of wine and tells him it is to pass the time. "I'll see you around" MIB: "Sooner than you think" he then breaks the bottle symbolizing his escape from the Island. This season I believe is reveal the “good” and the “evil” people or person. This whole thing is like a Bible School story with Jacob gathering his flock and giving them free will to chose. (He did help all them get back to the island and gave Hurley the guitar case.)
A great episode from start to finish! Only seven more shows till the end. There are still many many unanswered questions. The main one being will Locke, Smokey, make it off the island? What happens when there is no one to take Jacob’s place? Ilana was suppose to ask Richard, according to Jacob, but Richard only wants to die; hardly a leader. Will the present day island or the side flashes be reality?
Oh yeah, Jacob tells Ilana that there are 6 people he needs her to protect and this is what she has been preparing for. So, a couple things stand out here to me. Jacob gave Ilana the number 6. Ilana tells Sun there are 6 remaining candidates. Ilana also knows that John Locke is dead and that there are still 6 candidates. So we still have the question, who are the six.
The other thing was the whole concept that Ilana has been preparing for this day. It would seem like Jacob has had a team of people preparing off Island for the day that the candidates would be called to take over for Jacob. So how did he manage to get killed before Ilana got there to protect him and gather the candidates? Probably another wicked twist in this fantastic story!

Lost: Dr. Linus review
Here's another Lost Review from Paula! Make sure you check out her awesome blog @ http://dreamr-dogblog.blogspot.com/!
Michael Emerson plays Benjamin Linus, an Emmy winning actor. He was awarded the 2001 Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Dramatic Series. In 2007, he was nominated for an Emmy for his role on Lost. This episode is named after him and he actually has a heart, and is redeeming himself.
Now Ben is a Doctor teaching high school history. In LA at the high school Locke tells Ben he is listening to him and if he doesn’t like the principal do something about it. Ben teaches history, very caring about students and especially his student, Alex.
Back on the island in 2004 when the plane first crashed, Alex was Ben’s daughter. The mercenaries that came to the island to kill Ben killed Alex. Ben had chosen the island over his own daughter, which always caused a great deal of guilt for him. Now Ben is playing a lead role again in Alex’s life.
In LA, Ben is at home taking care of his dad. A direct contrast to the hate he had for his father on the island in 2004. He gassed his dad and all the Dharma Initiative. His dad says maybe they should have STAYED ON THE ISLAND AND NOT LEFT. This is the first person in sideway flashes that has any knowledge of the island. News breaking!
Jack and Hurley are coming back from the Lighthouse. The (dead) Jacob told Hurley to take Jack there. They meet up with Richard Alpert. Richard is a strange character. He is the only one we know least about that has been a major player through all seasons. We learn a little more about him, but where did he come from? Why would you follow someone for decades and not know why?
Ilana has Miles “read” Jacob’s ashes and he tells Ilana Linus killed Jacob. Ilana wants to kill Ben now and chains Ben and makes him dig his own grave. Ben is always getting himself in a pickle even when he tries to do right.
Back in LA Ben is tutoring Alex and she reveals to him that she caught the principal banging the school nurse. Ben gathers the principal’s private emails and confronts him.
Miles brings Ben some food while he is digging, Ben tries to bribe Miles once again, but doesn’t work. Miles read Jacob’s last thoughts and said Jacob was hoping he was wrong about Ben, but he wasn’t. Miles has no sympathy at all for Ben. I’ve grown too really like Miles with his laid back attitude.
Richard Alpert says he is taking Jack and Hurley to the Temple but he lied to them. Richard tells them everyone is dead at the temple. Richard doesn’t see any reason for living now that Jacob is dead, his mentor. Jack tells Richard they are not meant to die now. Richard cannot kill himself because he was touched by Jacob. I wonder just how old Richard really is.
Hurley leaves jack and Richard and a lit stick of dynamite. Jack tells Richard what he saw at the lighthouse and the mirror of his house as a kid. They are talking, sweat running down their face, watching the fuse get shorter and shorter. And the fuse mysteriously stops right before the BANG. Richard is in awe now of Jack. He says now we go back to where we started. (Back to the beach.)
Ben is becoming a man in charge as the history teacher in LA .He was in charge on the island before; Ben went through great lengths to become the man in charge. He was brought to the Others as a child and has planned every since and devoted everything to the island.
Locke, Monster, shows up while Ben is digging his grave, unknown to Ilana. This reminds me of the devil coming to give you eternal life. Locke offers Ben charge of island if he follows him, and bam the lock on his ankle just falls off. Ben takes off running, Ilana right behind him.
Ben gets the drop on Ilana and gives a very heartfelt speech about his daughter getting shot and sacrificing everything for Jacob. Ben says Jacob didn’t even care. (Very touching, an Oscar performance.) Ben cannot forgive himself and doesn’t ask for forgiveness, he just wants to leave. He tells Ilana he is going to Locke,” he is the only one that will have me”, he says crying. Ilana tells Ben, “I’ll have you.” We see a whole other side of Ben now on and off the island.
Ben confronts the principal with the emails, but it backfires. Ben says I want your job, (Ben doing whatever it takes to get what he wants, at least it’s not killing anyone.)The principal turns around and blackmails Ben with his student Alex; he will torch her future. Ben backs down for the sake of Alex, Which he didn’t back down on the island and got her killed.
THE REUNION- Miles, Sun, Ilana, Ben, and Frank Lapidus, the pilot are all back on the beach now. Who should show up but Hurley, Jack, and Richard. What a touching sight. Sun is so glad to see them, but still no Jin. Will she ever find him?
To put an end to this touching reunion, Whitmore is back in the picture. He is on a submarine with a military crew, when he is told there are people on the island. Whitmore says go on by. I can’t wait to see what that was all about. At least he is not out to kill them now. Any thoughts on Whitmore’s role with the island present day?

Lost: Sundown Episode
Paula, once again, with her recap from the most recent episode of Lost:
More flash sideways in this episode, I love these the most. In this episode Sayid walks into a house with Nadia and two children, thinking this is his family. (Nadia is the love of his life that was killed after they were rescued.) But she is married to Sayid’s brother. Sayid has just come back from Australia.
Omar, Sayid’s brother, gets beaten up by some shady characters he had borrowed money from. Nadia pleads with Sayid not to do anything. (Sayid used to torture people in Iraq.) They force Sayid into a restaurant, not a good idea, and he ends up killing them all. Sayid can be one heck of a killing machine although he is trying to put that all behind him. Sayid then opens a freezer to find none other than Jin all tied up. Here they do not know each other and Jin can’t speak English. (He had learned on the island.) So now how is Jin tied into all this? He did work for Sun’s father before, a cold calculating Mafia figure.
Meanwhile, back on the island, Claire is totally someone else, looking for Aaron her son. She is not that sweet girl anymore. Jin told her last week Kate took him off the island three years ago. John Locke, AKA smoke monster, tells Claire to go to the Temple and give them a message and she ends up in pit. In return Locke will help her get Aaron back.
Kate goes back to the temple and tells Claire she took Aaron three years ago also. She looks very shocked like everyone is betraying her. Kate’s goal in going back to the island is to find Claire, bring her back to be with her son, who Kate left with Claire’s mom. And don’t forget Jack and Claire are brother and sister. (I think Sawyer had a little to do with Kate going back, too.) Where did Claire go when she wondered into the jungle? The smoke monster looks like her new best friend.
Dogen, the Temple leader, sends Sayid out to kill Locke after they have a cool fight. Sayid finds Locke, stabs him in the chest with a huge dagger. Locke pulls out the dagger and says “What did you do that for?” Priceless. Did you see the look on Sayid’s face? That is twice now Dogen has tried to kill Sayid. Locke sends Sayid back to the Temple with a message for the Others to follow him or die. Locke keeps his word and wipes out everyone who is not with him.
Sayid, Claire, and Kate join Locke and the Others who left the Temple; Locke has now assembled his team. What is his real goal? Everyone keeps saying Locke will kill you. But he didn’t kill Sayid or Sawyer. Now Sawyer wasn’t in this episode. Jacob had gathered all these people together from Oceanic Flight 815 as candidates to take over as protector of the island for him one day. Locke has killed Jacob so he definitely has a plan of some kind.
And I can’t wait for Sun to catch up with Jin on the island. They fell back in love on the island before and she had a child. I want them all to be one big happy family. And I want to see Sawyer next week; he is my favorite, the underdog. I think he would be perfect with Kate, although they are both very strong willed.

Locke pulls out the dagger and says “What did you do that for?” Priceless. Did you see the look on Sayid’s face? That is twice now Dogen has tried to kill Sayid. Locke sends Sayid back to the Temple with a message for the Others to follow him or die. Locke keeps his word and wipes out everyone who is not with him.
Sayid, Claire, and Kate join Locke and the Others who left the Temple; Locke has now assembled his team. What is his real goal? Everyone keeps saying Locke will kill you. But he didn’t kill Sayid or Sawyer. Now Sawyer wasn’t in this episode. Jacob had gathered all these people together from Oceanic Flight 815 as candidates to take over as protector of the island for him one day. Locke has killed Jacob so he definitely has a plan of some kind.
And I can’t wait for Sun to catch up with Jin on the island. They fell back in love on the island before and she had a child. I want them all to be one big happy family. And I want to see Sawyer next week; he is my favorite, the underdog. I think he would be perfect with Kate, although they are both very strong willed.

Our First Guest Post: Lost!
Here's this blogs first guest post by Paula! You can read her information in the Guest blogger portion of this site and be sure to check out her blog, http://dreamr-dogblog.blogspot.com/. Enjoy her plost about Lost:
Lost: The Last Season
Oceanic Flight 815 crashed six seasons ago and it’s been a roller coaster ride every since. The main characters John Locke, Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Jin, and Sun are always doing something unexpected. Claire has come back in the picture on the island and in the flash sideways is giving birth in Los Angeles and not on the island. Remember, she disappeared on the island before the rescue and was left there.
What are the flash sideways differences?
There are two stories going on simultaneously, not an alternate timeline but a different outcome in the same situation of Oceanic Flight 815. I can’t wait to see the rest of this season and get all the answers. I don’t see how they can be on the island and in Los Angeles at the same time, though. It is awesome, though. So here are the differences.
The plane flies safely into LAX, Los Angeles airport in Season 6. Desmond is in Jack’s seat on the plane. Desmond was on the island for three years before the plane crashed. (Also Desmond was in the empty stadium running when Jack was there pondering).
The island and statue are completely under water, only a four-toed foot remained when they crashed. Hurley says he is the luckiest guy in the world and won the lottery, before Hurley insisted he was cursed and the lottery numbers were everywhere on the island as a bad omen. Sun tells the customs agent she doesn’t speak English, before she secretly took lessons and learned English before boarding the plane.
Ethan is Claire’s OB/GYN doctor when she is giving birth. Back on the island, he was the one who kidnapped Claire and held her prisoner. Helen and John Locke are living together and are going to be married, before Helen had left Locke because of his obsession with his evil father. You remember Helen from Married with Children, Peg?
Now this is a twist, evil, no-conscience Ben Linus is a European history teacher at a high school. Jack has a son, David. Do you think he kind of looks like Kate? He didn’t have any kids before. Jack’s appendix was taken out when he was 7 or 8. On the island Juliet took his appendix out.
The commentary shows are really good. If you get lost, especially in this season, it really helps to clear things up. I like how they show last week’s show enhanced and then the new show. I can’t wait to see how the flash sideways is explained. I hope there is no “it was all a dream”.
