bahhh! Again we are left with Jin and Sun UNunited. I will say however, the pictures shown to Jin of his little girl -- TEARJERKER.
Ok so observations:
firstly, ive begun to notice a subliminal wardrobe on the survivors. Notice: that some members of our beloved survivors are donning dark/variation of black clothing; Sayid, Smoke-Locke, Sawyer, Claire,...even Richard and Jack - HMMMM.
Both Kwons, even Kate are wearing light colored clothing. The only one wearing a color of distinction is Hurley. This brings me to think, are those with dark clothing already in someway "claimed" by Smoke-Locke? With these writers, this kinda stuff is rarely a coinsidence.
TomAYto - TomAHto
i loooooved the symbolism behind the "stubborn" tomato. It can represent so many things. Because it came from the garden that Sun created, the tomato can represent the fact that she bore the "fruit" of her love, Jin. (Lets remember the island for some reason works as a super contraceptive) Or does the tomato represent both Jin & Sun in their determination to find each other and to bloom under severe environmental factors?
Now here is my new idea on the time-travel/flash sideways...
what if the actual TIME of the flashsideways is later on. Ok ok let me rephrase better. I know it has been explained that the flashsideways represent what would have happened had the plane landed safely at LAX airport and not crashed. So what Im saying is that that doesnt necessarily mean that the flashsideways pick up exactly at the time that the plane "safely landed". You follow?
Example: In tonights flashsideways; Jin and Sun werent even married....but they were when they were on the plane that crashed on the island. Therefore there MUST be a difference timeframe of these flashsideways? Yes? Maybe?
THOUGHTS?!
Now i bring to the table what is to be made of this whole new set of "others"
I dont think I fully trust Charles Widmore. Again I feel this is turning into a big "he said-she said" and I dont know whom to believe. So i will open that up to the rest of you because I have no good insight on this whole Widmore/Submarine thing.
oh! and WHERE THE HECK DID DESMOND COME FROM?!?!? Is that the "package"? Yea I dunno. It makes me frustrated that the writers have said this whole season that the time for questions is over.....if that were true there would be no point of this blog.
So thats it from me ladies. Baby is down and out and I am fading fast. Cant wait to see what you think!
(P.s for those of you who are somewhat aware of my husbands incessant need to blog about Politics to fight the "injustices of liberal extremism"...he is very proud of my new Blogging :-)

Put a cork in it! ...Evil that is!
Firstly; I love the positive responses to this blog, AND all the insights from this weeks episode. I had been looking forward to the Story of Richard Alpert for a while.
Its the oldest of battles, Good vs Evil. Light vs. Dark. And Free will vs. Fate.
The MIB is still a confuddling character to me, because after this weeks episode they try to show you the "other side of the arguement".(Im going to play devil's advocate here for a moment, no pun intended)
Lets for argument-sake take away the categorizing colors of black & white. You could argue; What if Jacob was the evil being? The MIB makes compelling arguements against and is also very persuasive. Which then turns into a a whole "he said -she said" push-pull between Jacob and the MIB.
I dont know how I feel about the idea of Richard being "baptized". I guess its a valid observation. We'll have to wait and see if we were right during next weeks "enhanced" episode.
So, i did a little research because im obsessed with looking for little hints and "easter eggs" of information as the producers call it. I thought that maybe there was some importance in us seeing the section of the Bible that Richard was reading while he was in prison: "St Luke". Upon looking it up I found that Luke was invited to become one of the evangelist & disciples to spread the word of Christ. However the word evangelist is NOT synonymous to disciples.
Now, I see this as foresight for what would happen later on in the hour. So i guess maybe had i paid MORE attention in CCD I could have seen that eventually this would be Richards "job". Thoughts?
The cork and the wine: AWESOME metaphor. Especially at the end when the MIB smashed it, to symbolize his escape.
In that same scene I thought it was interesting to discover (for the most part) WHY the "survivors" are there. REDEMPTION. The same theme that becomes more and more obvious with each episode. Jacob says that the MIB collects those [people] who are corruptible and would do his bidding to kill Jacob. And then Jacob's reasoning for bringing them to the island is for them to right their previous wrongs; "the past doesnt matter here" <--- thats not a direct quote but it was something like that ;) HENCE what I think the flashsideways are (somehow). They are a glimpse into how they would redeem themselves. Double-HENCE why i am ruling out Sayid and Kate to be Jacobs next replacement. In their parallel lives they fell victims to their same poor judgements.
There is still much more to discover with the LOSTies and the island:
Who will be the winning candidate?
WHAT are the specific identifying qualities of each Survivor that brought them there? And why have they been chosen (some of them) since they were kids?
Will Locke/MIB Smoke Guy get off the island?
Will Claire reunite with her son?
Will Jack stop whining?

Evangelist:travelling missionaries, occasionally solemnly set apart...They were endowed with a special charisma to preach to those unacquainted with the Christian Faith and pave the way for the more thorough and systematic work of the pastors and teachers. But their office, as such, seems to have extended no further

L.O.S.T Launched!
...Ok so here it is. The L.O.S.T Blog.
L-last
O-opinions of
S- six
T- 'Thusas
It has been along the timeline of the shows inception that we were all living under the same roof at one point or another. Time may have revealed the fate of many of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, but ah, our friendship ever connected by their plunders and successes.
This is going to be way easier than trying to remember/keep track of who's Facebook status you commented on, and how many times you had to re-type your brilliant foresight, insight, and predictions of our favorite, gripping, edge of your seat show: LOST
Tonight. Exiciting. Not only the premiere launch of this blog... BUT
Richard Alperts story.
I cant even begin to predict what nuggets of information we are going to uncover tonight. I know I will be a bit behind on my next post because I am DVR the enhanced and new episode. (However if i can figure out how to view and post to this blog via my new blackberry then i may be able to atleast read what everyone wrote tonight, today, during the week during my 4am feedings)
Ok so rules? Eh?
Deadlines? neither.
Looking forward to everyones two cents!
