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.
