"LOST-The Little Prince"

Well, first and foremost, let me say something.

"LOST" on the new Vizio TV is AMAZING. The Vizio has a quick select function to adjust the picture on the screen. I switched the mode to "Movie" and went with that. The picture quality is absolutely stunning, even compared to the old Sanyo. I've never seen a TV show look so brilliant on screen. Amazing.

Now, on to the show...

This week's post isn't going to be quite as long as last week's, because the show this week really was an extension of last week's plots. We still have Kate worried about losing Aaron. We still have Jack working with Ben to try to get everyone back on the island. We still have Hurley in jail. We still have Sayid in the hospital with people trying to kill him...or drug him...or something.

What is different this week is that we started seeing how some of these things were tied together...and the person doing it shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone that's watched "LOST" since it's start. But I'll get to that in a moment.

First, about Kate and Aaron. We find that Kate is still trying to work out a way to keep Aaron, despite the fact that she is being hunted by an attorney demanding that she give her blood to test for maternity of the child.

We find Sayid still in the hospital where Jack has been working on him. As Jack is out talking to another doctor about why he's there, Sayid gets attacked by another man with the same type of dart gun that got him before. After fighting with the man, Sayid is able to get an address from the man of the person that supposedly has sent him after Sayid. After showing the address to Jack, we learn that it's Kate's address. Mysterious.

Ben shows up at the hospital and says that he will go work on getting Hurley out of jail. Sayid wants to go with him to make sure that Hurley stays safe. When they get to the spot that they are trying to go to, Ben meets a man...and surprise, it's the attorney that has been hounding Kate. After the quick conversation in which we learn that Hurley should be out of jail in the morning, Sayid asks who the man was and Ben calmly states that it's "my attorney."

This throws a lot of light on things that were going on. More than likely, Ben sent the attorney to hound Kate to try and make her think that she'd never be able to be safe in the US with the child, thus maybe making her WANT to go back to the island.

This part of the show ended with Ben, Jack, Kate, and Sayid all talking on a pier. At this time Ben reveals that he is in fact the one that had sent the attorney after Kate. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Ben is also the one behind the people that are being sent to do whatever to Sayid...but that wasn't revealed, yet. Also, while they are talking, Sun is in a car with Aaron. She has a gun and wants to kill Ben. I'm sure this will be addressed next week. Basically, though, we have everyone except for Hurley that supposedly need to go back to the island on a pier right now...so I'm sure the entire process of going back to the island is going to be getting addressed VERY soon.

Meanwhile...

...back on the island...

We still have the flashes going and we still have the issue of the time travel. In the episode tonight we have found that they are on the island while they are on the island...if that makes any sense. Kind of like in "Back to the Future Part 2" when Marty McFly sees himself on stage...our LOSTies have been transported to a time on the island where they could in fact run into themselves. Something similar to this happens in the episode when Sawyer stumbles across Kate and Claire...who in Sawyer's current time are off the island and presumed dead, respectively. Yet there they are, clear as day.

We also get to a time that is more than likely AFTER the current time, albeit very slightly. The reason for this is because they find the camp on the beach, but it appears that they have been attacked by someone from somewhere else. The Zodiac boat is gone, and on the beach are several long canoes that appear to have attacked the camp.

Our people take one of these canoes because they are trying to make it back to "The Orchid." That's the station where Ben moved the island, and Locke believes that he can fix things if he goes there. So as they are rowing the canoe, they get attacked by the people that brought the canoe in their other canoe. Luckily, the light flashes right then and they are safe.

Not an awful lot actually happened on the island this week. It was mainly setup for future episodes, or at least that's how it seemed. There were, however, two major points shown.

Point one. As our LOSTies are walking on the beach, they discover the wreckage of what appears to be a ship on the beach. The words written are in French. As soon as I saw this, the name Danielle Rousseau popped into my mind. Sure enough, we flash to a group of people floating in a life raft and all are speaking French. As they are floating, they see a body floating in the water on a piece of wood. They move towards it and pull it into the raft. As they do, we realize something fairly shocking that was "Big Reveal 1" from this week...the body is that of Jin, the husband of Sun who we thought died at the end of last season. After never really caring for Jin's character, I was really sad to see him die last year...and seeing that he is still alive really made me happy about what's going on with the show. As the raft landed on shore, the French people started talking to Jin. A young pregnant girl is being nice to him, helping him, and gives him some water. She asks what his name is and he tells her. She then says her name is...of course "Big Reveal 2..." Danielle Rousseau. Of course, this is VERY confusing to Jin because even though he is more than likely stuck in the same time skip as our other survivors, he does not yet know that. So seeing Danielle as a young lady is obviously going to be very strange to Jin.

All in all, tonight's episode was really good...however, it felt very much like a "setup" episode, which I'm sure that it was supposed to. It looks like a lot of these things are coming to a head in the next couple of weeks...and it should be exciting!!!
