After watching LOST last night, today has been a quiet day filled with thought. I feel almost as though I have "lost" 3 friends, each of whom I've known for years. One of them has been more or less "gone" for the entirety of this season, but somehow he was back to his old animated and resourceful self last night, it seemed. (not sure if there was a reason for that, or if it was a continuity error, or if my observation is legitimate.) Of course the other two had to go... that was the most romantic and painful direction in which to take them, after their recent long-anticipated reunion.
So. Three episodes remain, and we still have no idea what this Locke-inhabiting being is up to. Until last night, I was under the impression that he needed the survivors to join him in leaving the island- and admittedly, I had no idea why this would be, and was slightly impatient to be given a reason for all of the, "You all must come to the island, or leave the island, together and in a certain way" blathering. We've never been told about these rules, still, after all this time! Several characters seem to know enough to at least tell the key players that things have to be a certain way, so there are rules at work here, no question. I guess that after all this time, I'm ready for some context. I'm ready to understand the rules, I'm ready to understand each side's objective. Anyhow, I guess that the Locke-thing actually needs them all dead, which would make sense with Jacob dead too- the Man in Black told Jacob that if Jacob found a replacement, he'd just kill him or her too. With no replacements, the Man in Black/Locke-thing could skeedaddle, I guess. But Jacob's replacement hasnt been named, so isnt it sort of like there's no one holding the position right now? I dont see why the Locke-thing cant just up and leave. Also, STILL not sure why he's not allowed to kill the candidates... and very much wondering why Charles Widmore had such a change of feeling, or apparently so, towards the survivors. AND... WHERE IS BEN!! ...fine- where is Richard, too? There are only 3 new hours left of LOST. I want to see what Ben is up to!
Lots of cover letters to mail out today. Maybe more writing to come later...
