Lost Lost Lost

Okay- it’s no secret that I love Lost. I will now make it known that I do not Love the Lost’s Love Tangle. I have had quite enough of the Sawyer/Kate, Jack/Kate, Sawyer/Juliet, Jack/Juliet relations. So- with that said:

I did not think that “What happened, happened” was a great episode. What it did have is some nice moments and a couple of great exchanges. None by any of the above mentioned characters.

1. Hurley trying to figure out the whole theory of the time continuum theory was a hoot. I really like Hurley. He is the voice of the people! Just as I was leaning towards understanding Miles’ explanation, I thought but what if....and Hurley filled in the blanks and of course Miles had to concede.

2. Richard explaining that by taking Ben to save his life, he would also be taking his innocence was an exchange that we Lost Lovers have come to both dread and live for. The comment answers very little but reveals lots of possibilities, angles and theories. We are left wanting to know the rest of the story, how why, where, tell me now I can’t wait!

3. Locke welcoming Ben back to the land of the living! I was just thinking out loud at the break before this scene that I wanted them to get back to the present (?)Locke and Ben scene that we saw a few weeks ago. The one when Locke is taken to the hurt survivors of the plane crash and there lays his murderer. The smile that Locke gives Ben was awesome!

So- there you have it. Not sure that those 3 little highlights were worth watching the other 40 minutes of the show-but I did, and would again ( I mean who am I kidding!). I want them to forget about or at least not work so hard at the Love Lost but just concentrate on all the other issues that make folks tune in week after week. I don’t think people really care who ends up with whom- we care about what happens to whom, by whom, how and of course –when.
