The Lost Diary

Welcome back (finally) to another edition of the "Lost" Diary.

What a crazy week this has been for me personally. I am doing this Sunday night, the day after seeing Prince three times in one night. He started playing his first song at 8:00 PM and his last around 3:00 AM. I got recognized a few times from my encounter with Prince Thursday night. And, along the way, somehow became the most hated "Lost" blogger on the Internet. Good times.

I feel like this is the part where I apologize for not posting this in a timely fashion -- and that would be true; I am sorry I didn't get to do this sooner.

I am not going to get into reasons/excuses or anything like that. Whether it's my job or not (and it isn't, I get nothing extra from doing this -- except that it's a shitload of fun and you guys are the best), I do have an obligation to you all. It's an implied covenant -- you wake up Thursday morning, you get a "Lost" Diary. That's the deal.

Life gets in the way sometimes (I doubt anyone has watched every single episode of "Lost" on the night it aired) but I need to a better job of managing my time. What I have tried to juggle is whether or not it's better for me to watch the show when I am dead tired and rushing through it ... or wait a day or two and try do it right. I think I have learned the correct answer there.

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes: I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. You know the rest. Let's roll:

9:02 -- I think this opening little story about a young Sayid killing chickens is supposed to tell me something. Once a killer, always a killer -- perhaps?


9:03 -- Is Little Ben creepy on his own ... or because we know he becomes Big Ben?

9:04 -- Nope, he's creepy allllll on his own.

9:08 -- Some guy is running for his life, presumably from Sayid.

9:09 -- Yup, it was Sayid. R.I.P. random guy.

9:10 -- That hat makes Ben look ridiculous.

9:11 -- Horace and Radzinsky are conducting a little Good Cop/Nerdy Cop with Sayid. Again, the parallels between Sayid being held captive and Ben being held captive back in season 2 are just obvious.

9:12 -- As Juliet and Sawyer have their moment together, even now, days later, I can hear the collective screams of every woman watching. They are probably calling Juliet a four-letter word I cannot repeat.

9:14 -- "A 12-year-old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I'm doing?" -- Sayid.

9:15 -- Sawyer wants Sayid to join the Dharma Club, Sayid just wants out. If I were Sayid .... not sure what I'd do.

9:19 -- Hurley is now a chef in Dharmaville. Sounds about right.

9:20 -- Now Ben's dad has entered the picture. He's still a joy to be around.

9:22 -- "I looked." -- Ben

9:23 -- Now that Ben has killed Locke, he's lying to Sayid to try and get him to come back to civilization and kill some people.

9:24 -- I don't know, I think Sayid does like killing. A lot. Doesn't make him a bad guy. It does make him a killer though.

9:25 -- Sawyer is turning Sayid over to the Others version of Sayid. Sawyer is about to tell Sayid, "He's our you." Get it?

9:26 -- "He's our you." -- Sawyer. Sooner that I thought.

9:27 -- Sawyer should have said, "He's our dorky you."

9:32 -- We're back to right before everyone went back to the island and Sayid is flirting with the marshal who will eventually arrest him.

9:33 -- "I like sad men." -- . Really? Who says that?

9:34 -- Sayid's got a whole "Out of Sight" thing going on right now.

9:35 -- "Because I am a bad man." -- Sayid

9:36 -- Wow, Sayid is blabbering like a damn fool. Wouldn't have thought he would crumble so easily. Nerdy Sayid is good.

9:37 -- "You're all going to die, you know?" -- Sayid

9:38 -- Juliet and Kate are talking about Sawyer. Remember that time they wrestled in the rain? Cause I do. Again.

9:40 -- The Others are leaning towards killing Sayid. They are going to put it to a vote. I don't like his chances.

9:41 -- Even Sawyer votes yes. Gotta protect his perfect little Dharma life.

9:46 -- Yup, Sayid is getting his "Out of Sight" on big time.

9:47 -- Wait, I don't remember the movie going like this.

9:48 -- Sayid, still doped up on whatever, seems perfectly content to die.

9:49 -- Sawyer wants to know why everyone came back. But before Kate can say anything, a flaming VW wagon goes trolling through Dharmaville.

9:50 -- It just occurred to me who set the wagon on fire -- Little Ben.

9:51 -- Yup, Little Ben is trying to spring Sayid from Dharma prison -- and Sayid thinks his purpose is to play matchmaker between Ben and the Others. Interesting.

9:57 -- "Are you sure we're going to Guam?" -- Sayid. He can tell what's going on -- and he doesn't like it one bit.

9:58 -- Do you think Ben hired the bounty hunter? Cause I do.

9:59 -- Sayid and Little Ben are running through the forest, out of Dharmaville, when they met up with Jin.

10:00 -- Sayid took out Jin rather easily.

10:01 -- R.I.P. Little Ben. Well, that should have rather curious consequences, don't you think?

I used to judge all episodes of "Lost" by asking this question -- "What did we learn this week?" I recently switched it up to this, "If you were talking to someone who missed this episode, how long would it take you to tell them everything they NEEDED to know going into the next week?"

Let's try it for this episode -- Sayid shot Little Ben.

That's it.

But this does set us up to possibly answer a lingering question of all this time travel stuff -- Can the Losties change history? Or, better yet, are the Losties already part of history and now they're just fulfilling their destiny? (Not likely if Little Ben is really dead)

I have to give this episode a D. Lame, flat, boring, but with a semi-decent ending. I can't say this episode made me angry, but it certainly didn't bring anything to the table.

I wanted to give you guys a quick summary of the "Lost" writers forum I went to last week. I thought it would yield more interesting things, but the "Lost" writers did more joking around than anything. They are all quite funny. Here are some highlights:

-- Edward Kitsis is hysterical. He's a writer/producer for the show and he is just awesome. Apparently certain writers tend to write more of the episodes for certain characters, and Kitsis tends to do the Hurley-centric episodes -- and it shows. I am just BEYOND furious that they are making a sequel to "TRON," but Kitsis is the one writing it, so now I am fine with it.

-- The two biggest punchlines of the night were Nikki & Paulo and the episode where we learn about Jack's tattoos. Actually, Jack's tattoos came up quite often as an example of an episode that sucked. And, of course, Nikki & Paulo jokes drew huge laughter from the crowd.

-- The writers said only four scenes have ever been shot outside of Hawaii. That blew my mind.

-- There was something that Damon Lindelof said that I thought summed up "Lost" perfectly and, to be quite honest, gave me goosebumps. Someone asked the panel if the writers ever wrote themselves into a situation they then realized they couldn't get out of. Damon answered, "Sometimes when we back ourselves into a corner, we just walk up the side of the wall." Wow.

Until Thursday ...

Didn't know I spoke Spanish, did you?

For several reasons (Prince on Leno, first day with my trainer, a late basketball game, and I left my laptop and car at work) I did not watch "Lost" last night. That's the bad news. 

The worse news -- I can't watch tonight either. 

But here's the good news -- the reason why I can't watch tonight is that I am going to an event at the Writer's Guild in Beverly Hills featuring Damon Lindeloff, Carlton Cuse and a few other writers of "Lost." I imagine it will be a ridiculously awesome experience, one I intend to write about fully.

So here's my plan, as of now.  Watch "Lost" Friday night (after my beloved Orange advance to the Elite 8) and write up some kind of mega Diary/"Lost" writers event post (or posts).

One person already told me "last night's ep had some shit," so I will try and avoid it like the plague over the next few days.

Side note - I saw Prince last night on Leno. I sat right in front of Jay, so you might have seen the back of my head at some point. Tune in tonight and tomorrow (as I am going two more times this week to see Prince) so maybe you'll see me again. 

Also, Prince is playing THREE shows in LA on Saturday night and I am going to all 3. Drop me a line if you're going too and we'll trade Prince thoughts.

For now, you guys can chat here about last night's show. I won't peek.

Namaste,
Daniel

Welcome back to another edition of The "Lost" Diary.

I have a startling confession to make -- I didn't know "Lost" was a re-run last week until about 5:30 PM PT. I had absolutely no clue. I avoid promos and commercials all week long, so I never heard about it. But this extra week off has me super excited for tonight. It's kinda like being in a boring marriage and we skipped "date night" one week and now it's back on.

9:00 -- Instead of a PREVIOUSLY ON LOST, we get a little of Lapidus in the cockpit. I always like a scene where you see something you've already seen before, but this time from a slightly different perspective. 9:01 -- Remember back in the day when the Others were building a runway? Yeah, it just came in handy.

9:02 -- The plane landed safe and sound (tell that to the co-pilot) but some of the O6 are missing. Why some?

9:03 -- "How would I know?" -- Ben

9:04 -- Well this is interesting -- apparently Jack, Kate and Hurley are not only in a different place, but a different time as well. Again, why them?

9:05 -- "Good to see you, Kate." -- Sawyer. He didn't call her Freckles, he called her Kate. Worth noting.

9:06 -- "It's 1977." --Sawyer

9:07 -- "Uh, what?" -- Hurley

9:11 -- "Dude your English is awesome." -- Hurley to Jin

9:12 -- Once Jin gets word that Sun is on the island, he immediately books it for The Flame. It's like that "date night" thing I mentioned earlier -- times a million.

9:13 -- So you know how sometimes your ex comes back in the picture and you have to explain to your current significant other that you still have some unresolved feelings for them and you have to see if you can make it work? Sawyer is probably going to be having that conversation with Juliet -- except in this case his ex returned in a time traveling plane that crashed about 30 years apart from when she did.

9:14 -- Jin is understandably excited about the prospect of being reunited with Sun, but all I can think about is this -- Is Jin less cool now that he speaks perfect English?

9:15 -- So if Sun and Jin really are 30 years apart, are they the new Desmond and Penny, waiting to be reunited?

9:16 -- Lapidus is reassuring everyone, but I doubt he really believes any of it. Also, are they on the main island, or that other small island we once saw?

9:17 -- "Back to our island." -- Ben. Ok, that at least answers that.

9:22 -- Yada, yada, submarine, yada, yada, manifest, yada, yada, OH MY GOD IT'S LITTLE ETHAN. That's awesome.

9:24 -- Sawyer's plan is to slip Kate, Jack and Hurley in as new recruits on the sub. I want to be recruited for something.

9:25 -- There's a Hostile inside the perimeter on grid 325. No wait, it's just Sayid. In their defense, he can be awfully hostile.

9:30 -- So Faraday either is, or isn't, roaming around amongst the Dharma. Think he's gone batshit crazy? That's my vote.

9:31 -- How did Sawyer have anything in his closet that would fit Hurley?

9:32 -- Jin and Radzinsky are throwing Sayid in some kind of closet -- reminiscent of Henry Gale back in season two.

9:33 -- Sun is following Ben to find a boat to get to the main island.

9:35 -- "And how'd that work out for everyone?" -- Ben

9:36 -- "I lied." -- Sun. Nothing like smacking a guy in the back of the head with an oar to relieve a little stress.

9:40 -- There's nothing I love more than a good Dharma orientation video.

9:41 -- First off, hysterical that Jack is a janitor. Second, do you think Juliet is going to screw things up for Kate on purpose?

9:42 -- Nope, Juliet comes in just in time to "save the day." Remember that time they wrestled in the rain? Cause I do. Quite well.

9:44 -- Sawyer is beginning his interrogation of Sayid. Again, I am getting some serious Henry Gale type vibes here. I miss those days.

9:45 -- As Sun and Lapidus make their way to the main island, there is really nothing that can happen right now that would surprise me. If they ran into Charlton Heston and a society of apes that talk like humans, I wouldn't bat an eyelash.

9:47 -- Ok, everything about that scene was creepy as all hell. And let me ask you this -- Would you follow Christian if he told you to? I don't think I would.

9:53 -- Against my better judgment, Sun and Lapidus have followed Christian to the Dharma Hall of Records. BTW -- check this out. Creepy!

9:54 -- Meanwhile, back at Dharma Day Camp, Mr. LaFleur is returning with his 14-J.

9:55 -- I have a feeling Jack is about to learn about Sawyer and Juliet and it's not going to be fun for him.

9:58 -- How are Sawyer and Jack still friends? They say the nastiest things to each other -- as in, Sawyer just told Jack he's responsible for a bunch of people dying. They are like Serena and Blair on "Gossip Girl" -- I can't tell from week to week whether they are friends or enemies. Not that I watch "Gossip Girl" or anything ... What does Nate see in Vanessa? She sucks! Let's move on.

9:59 -- Hmmm, a little kid is giving Sayid a sandwich. Now, I wonder who this kid is going to turn out to be?

10:00 -- OMG! I ALREADY KNOW!!!!! IT'S BEN!!!!!!

10:01 -- "I'm Ben." -- Ben. Yeah, that was easy.

For me, this episode is really all about one thing -- are the Losties going to change history? As Hurley suggested, will they stop The Purge? Or, in some sort of cosmic twist, are they somehow the cause of it?

This episode didn't really answer any questions and didn't really raise any new ones, but yet I did feel like it somehow moved us in a direction. I have to admit right now -- I am holding next week's episode to a very high standard.

I am giving this episode a C+. Didn't really do a lot for me in the long run, but yet I found myself compelled throughout.

Welcome back to another edition of the "Lost" Diary.

I really can't think of anything interesting to say going into this week except for this joke, courtesy of "30 Rock" -- The island, I want to go to there. 

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes: I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. Ari somehow ended up in Alabama this week, so I've decided to relax and fly solo tonight. Let's roll ...

9:02 -- Pardon me for a minute, while I lose my mind -- IT'S THE DAMN FOUR-TOED STATUE!!!!

9:03 -- And now it's gone. As Sawyer might say, "Son of a bitch!"

9:04 -- "Now what?" -- Jin. Great question my friend. Great question.

9:05 -- So it's three years later (three years later ... from when????) and we seem to be right in the middle of the Dharma Years. The three people in the hatch spot our old friend Horace on one of the monitors. Our most pressing question is this ... who is LaFleur?

9:06 -- "Son of a bitch." -- LaFleur/Sawyer. WTF is going on here? (Whenever I ask that question, you know "Lost" is good)

9:10 -- LaFleur/Sawyer and Enos/Miles are going off to corral Horace. Every time I think I have written the most ridiculous sentence, "Lost" and goes and makes me type another one.

9:11 -- Who is Amy going to be? Is it someone really named Amy -- or is it Juliet?

9:12 -- Nope, it's an actual Amy. Apparently Horace and Amy had a fight about Paul, who, at this point, could be anyone.

9:13 -- Faraday is not taking Charlotte's death very well. He keeps muttering, "I won't tell her" -- meaning he won't tell young Charlotte she has to go back to the island one day.

9:14 -- Beach. No beach. Beach. No beach. Beach.

9:15 -- On their way to the beach, gunshots ring out and Sawyer and Juliet take out the two "bad guys" and rescue the girl (most likely Amy).

9:16 -- "Who are you?" -- Amy. Why, I'm Jim LaFleur.

9:21 -- So Juliet seems to think the island is now in the 70s or 80s and our new friend Amy is highly intent on burying the two that they killed -- you know, because of the truce and all.

9:23 -- The return of the sonic anti-smoke monster fence. Good times. Not so much for Sawyer and the others -- they're out cold.

9:24 -- Amy is in labor, which isn't good since every woman on the island that gives birth dies. Luckily the new mechanic in town -- aka Juliet -- happens to be the fertility master.

9:26 -- Jin's English has gotten quite good over the last three years.

9:27 -- "It's a boy." -- Juliet. Is this child someone we know?

9:32 -- Alright, you gotta hand it to Sawyer -- he's spinning a tale about being shipwrecked on the island, so he invokes the Black Rock. Nice touch.

9:33 -- Horace wants to send everyone back on the sub -- which runs counter to Sawyer's plan of waiting around the island until everyone returns. Should be interesting to see how he convinces Horace that they're all "Dharma material."

9:34 -- Young Charlotte is going to drive Faraday completely over the edge.

9:36 -- The Dharma alarm is going off and everyone is running around frantically. This seems like a good opportunity for LaFleur to earn his job as head of security.

9:37 -- The ageless one has returned.

9:42 -- Richard is pissed because he thinks the Dharma people have broken the truce. Sawyer thinks he can defuse the situation.

9:43 -- Sawyer continues to play his cards just perfect -- he drops the Jughead and John Locke on Richard. He's coming up clutch this episode, that's for sure.

9:47 -- Sawyer's handling of Alpert bought them two more weeks on the island.

9:48 -- "Just give me two weeks. That's all I'm asking." -- Sawyer. He's quite the con man, isn't he?

9:50 -- So it looks like Sawyer and Juliet are now Mr. and Mrs. LaFleur. Is there a baby LaFleur in their brood?

9:57 -- "She's gone and she ain't never coming back." -- LaFleur/Sawyer. You sure about that?

9:58 -- LaFleur, I have Jin for you on line one.

10:00 -- So first it was Jack having to choose between Juliet and Kate -- now it's Sawyer.

I've said here many times that I think Sawyer has now become a useless character -- he killed the original Sawyer, case closed. So it was good to see Sawyer bounce back for the first time in awhile and actually be important.

Since Sawyer killed O.G. Sawyer, he has been reduced to making wisecracks and wandering around with a gun -- he's essentially become a blunt object and not much else. But with this episode, Sawyer has finally been reinserted into the essential fabric of the show. It reminded me of the Sawyer-centric episodes that showed how good he was at manipulating people -- but this time, for good.

I'm giving this episode a B+. Originally, I had this episode down as a B, but I decided to give it an uptick because this was a good episode that DIDN'T have Ben, Locke, Jack or Desmond in it at all. That's not easy to do.

So what's next? It's 1977 and Dharma is fully operational like the Death Star. There is a truce between Dharma and the Hostiles. Everyone is back on the island. Now what?

Here's what I am left to wonder -- are the Losties somehow going to change history between Dharma and the Hostiles? Can they even do that? There has to be a grand purpose to them being there at that time.

A few answers to some questions I got multiple times, condensed together for brevity's sake:

-- Yes, I am on the TMZ TV show. I am one of the only people that pitches any stories from a desk. I sit right in front of where Harvey stands all meeting long.

-- Desmond and Penny's son is named after Charlie -- he's not ACTUALLY Charlie. That would be insane.

-- As proved by last week's show, Locke is not faking his death by using the paralyzing spiders, just like the two people who shall never be named. I'm sorry, but that was kinda the worst theory I ever heard.

Let's roll ...

Q -- In The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham, how do you think Widmore  
knew that Ben tried killing Locke before??? -- Janie

A -- That's a great question. That stood out to me too and to be  
honest, I don't have an answer.

Q -- Sorry when rereading your blog I realized something was missing.  
I was wondering why you didn't grade this episode? Thanks! -- Em

A -- Somehow I lost the last few paragraphs of my post. It should have gone like this ...

Bad vs. good vs. ... ?
So as I mentioned, I am wondering who is good and who is bad between Widmore and Ben. And somewhere along the line I thought of this --  Doesn't Locke's relationship with Widmore in this episode remind you of his relationship with his father? I am now totally operating under the theory that Widmore is screwing over Locke.

But then there is this -- Ben has tried to kill Locke twice now. So maybe the question isn't who is the good guy between Ben and Widmore -- but between Ben, Widmore and Locke?

John Locke is, as far as the island goes, the only good guy.

Oceanic Flight 815 vs. Ajira Airways Flight 316
I've also been thinking of the parallels between these two plane crashes. The O6 were on Ajira Airways Flight 316 for a reason -- to get back onto the island. Were the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 on that particular flight for a reason -- besides fate? Was there someone in the background orchestrating this? Was the entire "purpose" of the Oceanic plane crash to bring Christian back to the island?

Minor prediction -- we'll get a pre-Oceanic Flight 815 flashback that explains a little more about that flight.

I give tonight's episode a B -- I really enjoyed it and I can understand how some people would like it more than last week's episode, but it wasn't as good for me. This feels like one of those episodes that will be good once we fill in a few more gaps.

Here is my question to you this week -- If you had to pick a side (think kickball) whose side would you go on: Ben or Widmore?

Q -- Love your site. Can’t get enough, which brings me to my question. Everyone complains that they aren’t told everything, blah blah blah. Isn’t the journey better when you take your time and enjoy the scenery than rushing to the end? Would LOST be any better if you knew everything right now? I say no. Enjoy the journey. The show isn’t going to be around much longer and once it’s gone it’s gone. What are your thoughts? -- Paul

A -- I agree, but to a point. I want to feel that things are always moving forward. I don't always care how much -- but if I watch an episode and think to myself, "If I had skipped this episode, it wouldn't matter" then that is a bad episode of "Lost" for me.

Q -- Think way back to season 2 or 3 when we were just getting to know the Others. We discovered that Jack, Kate and Sawyer (I don't think anyone else) were actually taken to a 2nd island.  Remember?  This is where Kate and Sawyer were put into cages (and eventually had sex for  
the first time), and where Jack performed the surgery on Ben.  What happened to this other island?  When they showed the aerial shot of the island from the helicopter last season, there was only one island.

Am I missing something?  Was it explained away? -- Cathy

A -- Another fine question that I do not have an answer for. Anyone want to chime in?

Q -- Alas, I think you may be my soulmate since I professed my love for my Tivo in 2004 and have 47 shows in my Season Pass Manager.  When people want to talk to me about shows, I just ask them what they watch since I'm pretty sure I watch it too.  Sadly, I live in NYC.  So if TMZ ever spins off into the TMZ NYC (maybe the 3-mile zone?), we'll meet and talk about every show under the sun.  But I digress. So I was in a 2-week mourning period when "The Shield" ended.  But I've come to terms. So now I would like to know what you think of some other shows: Breaking Bad, The Beast, and Battlestar Galactica.  I am secure enough in my social skills to admit I think BSG is the best show on television, period. PS Now I can't watch a Lost episode without your blog... a sincere and hearty thank you. -- Jennifer

A -- First off, I can't say this enough -- "The Shield" is a top 5 all-time show for me. The final season was absolutely unreal. I cannot recommend it enough.

Now, not to piss off the nerds, but I think "BSG" is a tad overrated. Good? Yes. Great? Not for me. The final season is going well, but they have a lot still left to answer.

Q -- As much as I do love “Damages”, I find Darrell Hammond distracting whenever he is on screen.  I just can’t seem to take him seriously.  Do you have any trouble with this? -- Danielle

A -- Some. It was just an odd casting choice and it was a tad distracting at first. But he's been pretty good. Right now, "Damages" is an A+ for me almost every week.

Q -- I watch lost every freaking week, so this is going to sound like I am slow or something.  But please for the love of all that is good and holy tell me why oh why did they want to get back on the island I truly feel like an idiot but I do not understand why they want to get back?  Is it guilt?  What?  Why did they lie in the first place?  Just to keep them safe?  I know I know I am an idiot but can you please give me a clear explanation.  THANKS.

A -- I think it comes down to this: whose life HASN'T improved since they got to the island? Go down the list and I think you'll find EVERYONE benefited from it in some way.

Q -- Is there any way you can re-post your first few seasons of "The Lost Diary"?  I have a friend who has just started watching the show on DVD, & I think it would behoove her to read your insights.  They certainly helped me understand "Lost" better (& gave me a lot of laughs during the boring days at work!)!

A -- I actually didn't start until season 2. But I did go back and do a bunch. You should be able to find all the old stuff here -- http://thelostdiary.com/blog/

Q -- I think I remember that you said you watched The Wire, I would like to know what was your favorite season of the Wire and why. Thanks! -- Jessie

A -- Season 4. To watch those kids go through what they went through ... man, I don't know. Calling it "television" just doesn't seem to even do it justice.

Q -- Do you eat snacks while you watch Lost? I don't because the chewing sound interferes with being able to hear whats being said, why does no one ever speak up on that show? -- Christina B

A -- For awhile we had one girl who brought cupcakes. But she found Jesus and doesn't come over to watch "Lost" anymore. Those 2 things might be mutually exclusive, but it's funnier when I say them together. To answer your question though, no snacks allowed.

Q -- My question for you is this: Please name your favorite of thes following catagories: Lostie (815 passenger), Hostile/Other, Dharma member, flashback character and freightie.... you do not need to explain your choice if you do not want to. Thanks!

A -- I'll go with Locke, Ben, Widmore, Christian (does that count?) and Farraday.

Q -- Don't you think it's about time they killed a main character off? And I don't mean some random like we rarely see (such as Rose), I'm talking about one of the core main characters. Also it can't be one of these deaths that go on forever like we're currently seeing with the stupid nose bleeds. Just out of no where, Sawyer or Faraday or someone need to get shot. Maybe by time flashing into a heated gun battle. I don't want either of those characters to die, but they need to do something to revive the show. And that's what kept original Lost so great. Anything at any time could happen. Remember Mr.Eko's or Boone's death? Your just watching the show, and then BAM, they're dead. You didn't see it coming, and it leaves you speechless and on the edge of your seat. I want THAT Lost back.

A -- Yes. Yes I do.
