I'm Lost!

I admit it, I'm a Lost fan. I haven't a clue where this is going, but last night's finale, besides killing off some more others, Naomi the helicopter girl with the phone (by an increasingly unstable John Locke), and finally Charlie, who fulfills his apparent destiny by turning off the jammer, talking to Penelope, and drowning -- so that Claire and the Baby can go home!

So, where do we stand? We have three years to find out what happens. The night ends with the castaways in contact with their apparent saviors, while Ben suggests that they've made a big mistake that will lead to the death of all of them. But Jack, our hero, doesn't believe Ben (and why should he?) and makes the contact anyway -- and that's where we're left. Oh, by the way Hurley saves the day by ramming that old VW bus into the camp where Said, Jin, and the dentist are being held captive after Jin couldn't detonate the TNT!

But the most interesting part was the flash back of a bearded Oxycontin addicted Jack who saves a woman and her son from death, that he ultimately caused by distracting the woman as he was about to jump from the LA Street Bridge (the one you see from I-5 or is it the 101) into a dry LA River. And why is he distraught, we're not told, except that a newspaper clipping, perhaps of an obituary, catches his attention. In the end Jack has a meeting with a mystery woman, who turns out to be Kate -- and we realize this isn't a flash back but a vision of a future in which Jack says they made a mistake -- they should have stayed. But why? Well, that's what the next 3 years will tell us or will they? Stay tuned!!!

By the way, the LA Times has a nice write up of the wacky but intriguing world of "Lost." Since I'm hooked, I'll have to watch the next one and the next one!
