How good was last night’s “Lost!” So many crazy moments that I am going to have trouble hitting them all, but since the show revolves around The Oceanic Six, let’s talk about the six most shocking moments from “The Shape of Things to Come.” So turn away now thee who haven’t watched, cuz it’s gunna get spoiler-y up in here!
Ben Can Teleport?
Well that’s certainly what it seemed like in the show’s opening flash-forward when Ben woke up in the middle of the Sahara desert with a weird steam/cloud/vapor coming off of him. This theory was only reinforced later in the episode when Ben ran into that closet-cum-fallout shelter only to emerge moments later covered in dirt. So what do you think? Is that room some sort of time machine or is that just Smokey’s pen, since as soon as Ben came back, that dangerous whatever-it-is showed up?
Claire Has Nine Lives
So let’s get this straight: Claire’s house was blown up with a rocket launcher and all she got was a little messy? Not in a million years. Just kill her already, especially since Hurley is such a good babysitter — and his hair is purdier!
R.I.P. Alex
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t really think that henchman would actually kill Ben’s daughter, but clearly those freighter folk mean business — and so does Ben. He’s the kinda guy who you have to believe when he vows to kill your daughter. Sorry Charles, but I’m even more sorry for Desmond.
Knowing Morse Code is useful
The only thing better than being able to understand the beeps and boops is not telling your shady new friends that you are fluent until they’ve lied to you. Good move Bernard! But where was Rose all ep? I thought they were attached at the hip.
Sawyer said to stay inside stupid!
When Sawyer first encountered that new face while looking for Claire, I couldn’t even get the words, “He’s about to die” out of my mouth before that random bit the bullet. Nice knowing you, red shirt, for all four seconds.
“He changed the rules”
These words were uttered by Ben right after his daughter, Alex, was killed. But what do they mean? Who makes the rules? Jacob? Smokey? And since we’re on the subject, why did Ben tell Charles, “I can’t kill you?” Since when does Ben play fair? Well, actually that should be when did because clearly all bets are off … and that’s just how I like it!
