Lost: Some thoughts and theories

Man, I'm addicted again. I don't think there's ever been a show as addicting as Lost. I need help. You want to know the thing that scares me most about the thought of dying? That I might not get to finish that damn show.

Enough of that, let's get on with this. WARNING- Spoilers follow.

So, tonight's episode, The Economist, kicked as much ass as the other two episodes this season. In fact, it was the best one yet. It was Sayid centric and that had me worried at first. I've never been a huge fan of the character. I've found him to be boring most of the time. But after this episode, I can't wait to find out more. What was he talking about when Ben said "you know what happened last time you thought with your heart instead of your gun?" (it was something like that).

My theory- someone got killed. Probably Claire. I don't know how yet. I think if anyone dies this season it will be her. Because as most of us know, Aaron ends up with Kate in the future. That could just mean that Claire gets left behind, but I don't think so. Usually, when a character dies, it's someone who serves the least amount of purpose. I think Claire fits that bill. Maybe Rose or Bernard. But I'll say it's Claire, just because Aaron ends up with Kate.

As for Kate, well, she wasn't as annoying in this episode. It was mostly about her feelings for Sawyer and or Jack. It might be just me, but I find the romantic stuff to be the most boring thing about Lost. Hopefully that'll end sooner rather than later ;)

Jack didn't have a lot to do either. He mostly sat around and watched Daniel. Have I mentioned how much I like these new characters? Well, all except Charlotte. I love Lost, but they seems to be unable to write interesting female characters. Ana Lucia was interesting, but... no one else thought so. Maybe that means I'm the one who's wrong? Pssh, whatever man.

As for the new characters. I think I like Daniel and Miles the best. Miles- he's funny, can talk to ghosts, ect. Plus I've always liked Ken Leung. And Daniel just makes me laugh. He looks a lot like my hillbilly Uncle Snake. And he acts like Lando whenever he gets around strangers (especially female strangers.) Frank seems interesting. He seems to be a great pilot. But how did he get all those cuts and bruises if he made that great landing?

Anywho, back to the action. So, Daniel's experiment. Proof that there is some sort of time disturbance? I think so. But it appears to be only a few minutes. I would have guessed much longer.

On the Hurley front, what's up with that, man? You betrayed your homies. But I liked his joke about Sayid's break dancing moves. So is he in with Locke now or what? In the last episode, Hurley made a comment about a certain cabin that seems to interest both Locke and Ben a great deal. If they both know that Hurley is "special", who does that help the most? Probably Ben. I don't think Locke wants Hurley to be as special as him. But then again, the same could be said of Ben. He shot Locke because he heard Jacob, after all. The only thing we know for certain is that things do not end well, as Hurley told Jack that he made a mistake by going with Locke. Am I the only one who really doesn't like what they're doing with Locke? He's my favorite character, but they're fucking him up I'm afraid. They're making him a dick. He never used to be this selfish. It looks like they're turning him into an egomanic. Please, Lost team, don't turn Locke into something that simple.

Oh, and Ben. Well, it's safe to say he survives the island and Locke. Who exactly is it that he's having Sayid hunt down and kill? And why?

Theory- Widmore people. Don't ask me why, but I think Widmore has a lot to do with this fucking shit. YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF, WIDMORE!! I guess that's not much of a theory though, is it? More of a hunch. Oh, and I'm betting big money that Ben's person on the boat is Michael. I don't know why he'd be working for him though... gotta think about that one a bit.

Well, that's about it for now. I didn't give myself any time to gather my thoughts with this one, so you'll have to forgive me for not touching on more subjects. Although I would like to add one more thing- why was Sayid all cuddled up with that chick like that? He was laying on her shoulder... kind of like a woman. That... disturbed me.

That's all for now folks.

B... Bada?

Well, I guess Bada went through with the bet he made with Lando. He's dead. How could he not be? No one has seen him since the Superbowl. To refrsh your memories, Lando and Bada made a bet that Bada would have to kill himself if the Patriots lost, and... well, I don't have to remind you what happened.

None of us actually thought he'd go through with it. He and Lando make these bets all the time and he's never killed himself before. But I guess his favorite team going 18-1 was just too much for him. Either he can't live in a world where the Patriots don't win the Superbowl, or he can't live in a world where Lando wins. At anything. I feel sort of the same way. Me and Lando would play chess sometimes and he'd almost always win the first game. This would cause the chemicals in my brain to go all off-balance, ect. forcing me to challenge him to another game, where I would crush him into the ground with zero mercy >:D

But there can be no other game for Bada. The flaw with his bet was that he himself could not affect the outcome. That's why I never bet my life on football games. Too much can go wrong.

Ah well, forget it. I guess it's back to just me and Lando. Patrick is a dead man anyways. That guy causes so many problems I can't even believe it. Forget him too.

Just forget everything.

TOP TEN: Favorite albums

I haven't done a top ten in a little while, so here's a new one. Again, if you don't agree with this list, maybe you should go listen to your brand new Kid Rock CD, FAG!!

1. OK Computer by Radiohead. Basically the best album ever made. It's hard for me to put into words exactly what it is. I look at this album as the beginning of an entirely new era in music. It changed everything. It's as close to perfect as you can get.

2. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco. The American version of OK Computer. Or at least that's what they say. I think it's similar (especially in sound), but different in many other ways. OK Computer can at times seem distant and cold, but YHF always seems so personal and, even though the songs sound sad, there's a bit a hope in nearly every tune.

3. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. I can't think of a single album that I connect more to my childhood. It's funny though, because I didn't hear this album until I was, like, 21. But I'm not the only person who connects with it this way. Read any (possitive) review and you'll hear the same thing. Jeff Mangum's songs are very personal, but they're a type of personal everyone, especially young men I think, can relate to.

4. Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. Out of all the albums I've ever heard, this is the one that I simply cannot figure out how it was made. It seems impossible that anyone could get those instruments to make those sounds, no matter how much they're played with in the studio. It's the most dense album I've ever heard. But none of that would matter if the songs sucked. Thankfully, they don't. Far from it.


5. You Forget It In People by Broken Social Scene. It kind of reminded me of Loveless for this decade when I first heard it. This one is the hardest to pin down. It sounds like My Bloody Valentine having rough sex with Sonic Youth. That's as close as I can get to decribing it to someone who's never heard it.

6. Kid A by Radiohead. Radiohead's big "Fuck You" to everyone. So many people wanted them, NEEDED them to be the new U2 after OK Computer. Radiohead had other ideas. Devoid of guitars for much of the album, Radiohead instead decided to make a pop version of an electronic album. Some people say Radiohead shouldn't be hailed for this album because it sounds like other artists albums, namely Aphex Twin, but those people couldn't be more wrong. Aphex Twin could never make this album. There's too much humanity in Radiohead's electronica.

7. Anodyne by Uncle Tupelo. Before Wilco, Jeff Tweedy was the jr. partner of Uncle Tupelo, along with future Son Volt frontman Jay Farar (and some other guy no one cares about anymore). Listening to this album though, you'd have no idea the big ideas these guys would eventually be throwing around in their music. That's not a complaint though. This album sounds like three guys sitting around, singing sad songs about love and death, ect. But the songs are among the best either man ever wrote, and put them together and you've got perhaps the greatest alt country album ever. I love Wilco to death and I think they're the best band in American history, but if Uncle Tupelo could have gave us another couple of these albums, I wouldn't have complaned.

8. Highway 61 Revisted by Bob Dylan. A legend's very best album. Simple as that. Why are The Beatles considered to be the best of the 60's? They never made anything that could touch this album.

9. The Bends by Radiohead. Radiohead at their most British. For once, that's not a bad thing. Although the lyrics are downbeat and depressing (one reviewer suggested that Thom Yorke would be the next rock star to kill himself after listening to this album), the music is anything but. It is the guitar album of the 90's.

10. Doolittle by The Pixies. To put it simply, music today would be very different without this album. You can hear The Pixies influence literally everywhere you go. This is their most mature, and their most fun and funny album ever.

Pre-order your copy now

Photobucket

Avalible April 8, 2008. Go to Amazon.com to pre-order yours today ^_____^

So how's it going with you? I'm alright. So remember how I told you my mom hit a deer? No? Well, she did. And she got a loaner car from her dealer (car dealer, not drug) and she's been driving it around for like a week. Today I was driving with her downtown when all of a sudden this cop pulls up behind her and flashes his lights. We pull over and he asks for lisense and insurance, ect. She tells him the car is a loaner car until she gets her's back from repair. The cop acts as if he doesn't believe her and says "Your dealership lent you a car without registration?" Yeah, turns out they gave us an illegal car pretty much. So that was pretty wonderful. He let her go with a warning and all that. Tomorrow is the time for revenge though. Muhahaha.

Also, me and Lando might, MIGHT be moving again. We'll find out tomorrow. Only thing is, it's a lot more expensive than the place we're in now. Plus we don't have a clue where to go to get our internet turned on, or even if we can afford to have it turned on right away. Either way, this house is nice and if we get in we will probably starve to death trying to keep up the payments. So if you don't have any updates from us for awhile, you'll know that either A: We couldn't afford to get our internet on or B: We're dead.

That's it for now. Don't forget to order the damn book.

Love,
-M

Lost: The Beginning of the End

Yeee hawwwwww!! Lost is back!! I've waited so long and it didn't disappoint. Exactly. I mean, there were some things I wasn't thrilled about. Like, how was Hurley able to find Jacob's cabin so easily? That seemed cheap. But I liked it.

Now, time for my sort of review/questions that must be asked.

Hurley- It was a Hurley episode so most of the questions will be about him. Why was he able to see Jacob? Locke only caught a small glimpse of him. Locke was only able to see him because he was "special." Does this mean Hurley is special too? Even more special than Locke? The only real mystery he's had until now was the numbers. The numbers= special? The numbers = JACOB?! Probably not.Why was Hurley able to see Charlie off the island? Cause he's really crazy or... what? Wait a sec, I just remembered something. Remember when Ben told Locke that "Jacob is not a person you go see, he's a person who summons you"? It was something like that. So... Jacob wanted to see Hurley? As Hurley tried to run away, the cabin appeared in front of him once again and the door opened slowly... Jacob inviting Hurley inside for a little chat? Why is Hurley important to Jacob? The mystery deepens...

Jack- Not a lot going on on the Jack front in this episode. He was pissed at Locke. Tried to murder him. Thought about growing a beard in the future. Other than that... he was boring.

Kate- Kate is always boring, this episode was no exception.

Locke- Locke is in an odd situation. Locke knows the people coming are no good, but, well, no one is going to listen to him. He killed Naomi (sooner or later). He blew up the submarine. He blew up the hatch. History is not on his side. And neither is the future, apparently. Hurley said he should have gone with Jack, so that leads one to believe things don't turn out so great for Team Locke. I hope they don't screw Locke over. He's my favorite character but they seem to love having him fuck up.

Sawyer- What's going on here? He seems to be pretty much back to normal. Last season, near the end, he kept getting darker and darker after killing Cooper. What happened to that? Charlie's death shook him back to his senses? Lame. I want dark Sawyer back!! He was way more interesting. He did end up leaving with Locke, and thus leaving Kate behind. Good for him. He can do better.

Desmond- Not much going on with him. He told everyone about Not Penny's Boat and then kind of looked upset when Hurley told Claire about Charlie's death. I'm thinking this season will be a lot about him feeling bad about Charlie. I wonder what they're going to do about his future sight?

Sayid- Boring, as usual. Although I hear he's got some very interesting stuff coming up soon ;)

Ben- Got beat up by a woman. I can't wait til the ball's back in his court. He's one of the best villians ever, but he can't be bad ass if he's tied up and getting beaten up by women. Although he doesn't seem too worried really. Perhaps because he's... ALREADY LIVED THROUGH THIS ONCE BEFORE?!

Claire- Boring. Was it just me or did she seem only kind of upset about Charlie? I mean, she was upset, but... it seemed fake. Bad acting, perhaps?

Alright, that's it for now. It was a good first episode back and it's to my understanding that it only gets better from here. It just sucks there's only going to be 7 more episodes and then it's going off air again. Ah well, better enjoy it while we have it.
