Best lines from tonight’s episode:
 Charlie: “Why does everything have to be such a secret? How about some openness for a change?”
 Jack: “We’re gonna blow’em all to h—!”
Naomi to Charlie: “Look on the bright side. You’re not really dead, right?” (Heavy irony)
 Sayid to Jack: “You said you were our leader. It’s time for you to act like one.”
Charlie to Desmond: “We both know you’re not supposed to take my place.”
 I loved Charlie’s list. Could you list the five best moments of your life? I may think about that for another post. Anyway, Charlie’s best and brightest list was illuminating. Will God catch Charlie when he dies just as his father caught him in the pool? Is Charlie really a hero as the woman said? (Yes!) Is he a “bloody rock star” even though he’s only had one hit record?
Apparently, Charlie lives a little while longer anyway. I think he’s doomed, though. Who are those Commando Ladies? And what will happen to Charlie’s ring left in Aaron’s cradle? Will Desmond wake up in time to escape whatever is going to happen to Looking Glass station?
The season finale episode is named Through the Looking Glass in imitation of Alice’s second adventure. What will happen is anyone’s guess, but I’m predicting:
Charlie’s death.
Locke’s reappearance.
Ben’s capture and maybe death.
Desmond has a headache.
Juliet has to spill some more secrets.
Did you notice that Ben said that Jacob told him to move the timetable up on the kidnapping? I maintain that Ben no longer hears from Jacob, if he ever did, and he’s using Jacob’s name to keep his “cult” members in line and make them carry out his (Ben’s) wishes.
Oh, and Rose and Bernard are back. This reappearance makes me and Lindsey (Just Enjoy the Journey) happy. Locke’s reappearance will not make me happy. Jack did better this episode. At least, he listened to Sayid, the real brains of this operation. And Hurley, the Wise Fool, sensed something was going on with Charlie. If they ever kill off Hurley, I’m done. No more LOST. The writers and producers have been warned.
I think they brought back Rose and Bernard, adored by Family M-mv for their down-to-earthness, to kill them next week.
We share your feelings about the Wise Fool. If he goes, we go.
We wish the season would conclude with Jack, Charlie, Claire, Ben, and Kate gone.
But we don’t think that will happen.
YAY!!! Rose & B are back. Did you notice how good her hair looked? Must be some great beautician on the island 🙂
You posted everything I was thinking! I was thinking of a Greatest Hits of My Life post. I wonder if you can only do it when you know you are going to die.
and Charlie’s quote about openess! Awesome!
Your thoughts on the show are dead on. You must have been sending out pretty strong brain waves because I felt the same thing. I totally was not expecting all those people in the underwater hatch. I wonder where that will lead to.
Anyway, I’m reaching out to talk to parents about the Maya & Miguel program as part of a marketing project I’m working on with Scholastic. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Maya & Miguel, a show on PBS in the afternoons — http://pbskidsgo.org/mayaandmiguel — that emphasizes cultural diversity and language learning.
I found your post and thought I’d reach out to say hello and ask if you’d like to receive a free Maya & Miguel DVD. If you’d like to receive the DVD just email me at Kerri at boldmouth.com with your address and I’ll have it shipped it out to you.
If you do choose to blog about Maya & Miguel show or episodes on the DVD, please make it clear how you received the information. Our goal is to be open and honest with everyone we reach.
Kerri Roberts, BoldMouth
I feel the same about Hurley–love him!
Some are speculating that one of the commando babes is Annie, Ben’s childhood friend. I hadn’t thought of that myself, but it would fit how things usually go.
I don’t want Charlie to die! That will just be too sad and almost too predictable.
