Sawyer convinces Alpert not to attack Dharma, because he is the one who killed the Others. -Great bickering match between Sawyer and Miles. Now that John has pushed the wheel, the time jumps have stopped and they are stuck in the past. If you take a look at what happened in these two stories tonight (and leave aside the epilogue, which I’ll get to in a moment, and also ignore poor Daniel, who I’m going to return to), what you have are two narrative threads that actually end happily. Sawyer tells him that his name is James LaFleur and that he and the other survivors were part of a shipwreck on the island, and that they are still looking for other members of their crew. -Ever notice that we tend to call Jack Shepherd by his first name and John Locke by his last name, just as we call Ben Linus by his first name and Charles Widmore by his last name? But from a thematic perspective, is there a reason why the Lost creators concocted a magic island where weird things happened… and then gave it a little brother? In a way, the I5 have just spent the last three years making their own corrupt deals and telling their own lies, just like the O6, but even though “LaFleur” covered as much ground as the off-island stuff has (in about one-sixth the time), it was an unhurried episode, and was nowhere as mopey as the O6 material has been. The remainder of the season aired on Wednesdays at 9:00 pm EST. Y’know, Evangeline Lilly has gone on record as saying that she doesn’t really “get” or even like the more wild fantasy stuff of Lost, which may explain why she doesn’t always know how to play it. (Myself, I don’t sweat the particulars of how all this time-travel and such is working; I just chalk it up to “science” or “magic” and wait to see what happens next.) The last two seasons have pretty much cemented Sawyer’s place as the true hero on the show. Miles griped that all of the 816ers' plans seem to boil down to “The Orchid or the beach,” while Sawyer explains, in his simplying-everything way, that when they get to the beach, “If our stuff’s there, great; if not, we’ll build new stuff.”, -I’ve taken to leaving my Lost blog document open all week, so I can jot down notes from reading your comments, or other Lost blogs, or from my own foggy head. Sawyer then perpetuates a lie to the DHARMA Initiative to protect themselves from mistakes of the past. -And while I’m griping about big dramatic moments that haven’t come to much (yet), I’d like to renew my objection to all the references to how “things got really bad on the island” when Jack and company left. That night, the spokesman of the Others, Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell), enters the barracks to determine why his treaty with Dharma was broken. Two stories, really. Juliet and Sawyer kill the Others and free Amy (Reiko Aylesworth), but her husband Paul (Casey Byrnes) has been killed. March 3, 2009 Updated: Aug. 7, 2011 2:41 a.m. ... ABC Miles, Sawyer and Jin discuss their next move. Not too shabby. Gasp #1: After the sky flashes, stranding Locke down by the Frozen Donkey Wheel and leaving Sawyer holding a piece of buried rope, the group looks up past the treeline and sees the back of a giant statue. Locke “saved” Sawyer and company by leaving the island. Perhaps there’s a reason that someone like Rose will die if she leaves the island. I wasn't so impatient through the early Locke/O6 encounters. According to Lost 's co-creator/executive producer/writer/show runner Damon Lindelof, the season "is about why [the people who have left the island] need to get back". But Cuse and Lindelof move at their own speed these days, apparently.). The group returns to the barracks, where Amy resides. -Jeff Jensen proposed an interesting theory today—what I’m calling the Swamp Thing “Anatomy Lesson” theory—that the corpse of Locke was reanimated by the island by way of possession. (I’m betting we’re building up to another Orchid trip at season’s end, which will bring the characters back into the same timeline. And given that things are most likely about to get very ugly on this show, it was nice to spend an hour with Lost that showed the characters using their wits, making good choices, and thriving because of it. They’re all worried about what’ll happen when that hard-case LaFleur finds out. Because the island won’t let them give birth, or just for medical reasons? In “LaFleur” we eased into Dharma in classic Lost fashion: by living with it a while, and being told a story. And in Lost-time, they’ve spent eight episodes apart. Significant? All of our TV reviews in one convenient place. And moreover, Doc Jensen suggests that the island may have done this with some of our other 815ers, and not just the obvious ones like Claire. Coming Soon. Cast Member Alienated Nestor Carbonell & HIC Interview with TV Guide Left Behind - Press Release and Guest List I’m not sure I can adequately express how much I was geeking out during tonight’s episode.

Tweet; L et us now sing the praises of Josh Holloway and Elizabeth Mitchell. Rewatches of it are awesome. But here’s the unresolved question: Does saving the island equate to saving the world? Holy crap, dude. We know that Hydra Island moved along with Main Island, so we can assume that our two Aeoliae are yoked together. This caused a controversy when Mader later stated on her blog that Gregg Nations, the script coordinator, was the one who suggested the change.

Cuse and Lindelof later conceded that she was right. 24 - Season 5 - cast. -I like how Locke behaves differently depending on who he’s around. Three years later, the survivors have joined Dharma and are living in the barracks. Two other notes from last week: -Widmore says he's “deeply invested in the future of the island” … is that "investment" in the financial sense? Pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed. Which brings me to Sawyer. Just l-i-v-i-n. One of the many reasons I loved tonight's episode “LaFleur” was because it was Sawyer-iffic.

[2] The 94th episode of the show overall, "LaFleur" aired on March 4, 2009, on ABC in the United States, being simulcast on A in Canada. Chris Carabott of IGN gave the episode a positive review, stating "The narrative successfully establishes a new direction for the story from here on out and gives us an exciting, yet familiar, setting for the next few episodes." Because of the three years of Dharma-izing, all these characters are on the same footing now, in terms of how long they’ve been separated. It was more like three days of trippiness. The group comes across a pair of Dharma Initiative members who have been captured by two of the island's native inhabitants, known as the Others. Lost Ollie. I loved him dropping the name of The Black Rock to snow Horace, and him growling “It’s a good thing I ain’t askin’ your permission” at the Dharma boss. And whaddaya know? Horace tells him that they will have to leave the next day on the submarine because they are not "Dharma material". I hope Sawyer stays with Juliet, frankly.
