Public Service Anouncement

Hello All!

If you haven't noticed, I have missed quite a few posts. My last post was the Lost post, but it was several days late. I've also missed my GH Weekly Roundup, and my popular Disneyland Update.

See, my laptop is in the shop right now, and I don't have as much access to the Internet besides my iTouch, which is what I am using right now.

Regular updates should resume next week. Until then, have a great one!

Lost Season 5- Destiny Calls

Jack was suicidal. Locke was dead. Hurley was in the nut house. Sayid was a killer. Sun was a no-nonsense woman. Kate was a mommy. The Island had moved. And Ben was going to help Jack get back to the Island.

This is what we were into as we started Season 5, which, in this writer's opinion, was the best season since Season 1. I was fooled by what the writers siad the season would focus on. I knew it was about how the Oceanic 6 would return to the Island and what happened to the people who were left behind. But it was so much more then that.

The Island did move. But not only did it move to a new location, but to a new time period. Or periods actually. For a few days, the people who were left behind witnessed events that happened on the Island. The met Desmond in the hatch. They were attacked by unknown Ajira people. They met up with the Others to stop a hydrogen bomb from exploding. Heck, Locke even caused himslef to become leader of the Others in 2005. Juliette caused the hatch to be discovered.

Finnally, the flashing stoped after Christian explained that Locke needed to move the Island to stop the flashing. HE needed to turn the wheel, and that to get all of his friends back to the Island, he needed to die.

Well, he moved the Island, and things were back to normal. Well, sort of. Charlotte didn't make it, and ended up diying because of the flashes. Sawyer, Juliette, Daniel, and Miles were discovered by members of the Dharma Initiative because they were stuck in the 70s. Sawyer- taking on the name LaFluer- said he was looking for the Black Rock and was shipwrecked on the Island. They ended up joining Dharma, and Sawyer and Juliette started a relationship.

It's three years later on the mainland. Locke teamed up with Widmore, who was replaced as leader of the Others by Ben, to get his people bakc to the Island. When he failed, he tried to commit suicide, but was stopped by Bem. When BEn got good info out of Locke, he killed the poor man. This hepled get the Oceanic 6 back to the Island, after a long hard journey. Ben helped round Jack and Sun up, and they ventured to Eloise Hawking, who hepled them find the Island. Kate returned Aaron to his grandma, and went back to the Island to find Claire. Sayid was arrested and was going to Guam for a trial. And Hurley was busted out of jail by the one, the only- Jacob. They all boarded the Ajiria Flight 316 to "Guam".

After a long journey, there was a white flash, and Jack, Kate, Sayid, and Hurley was transported to the 70's. The Ajira people, along with Ben, Sun, and pilot Frank Lapedius crashed on the Island next to the Island (the one with the Hydra Station). Locke was revealed to be alive on the Island, but really wasn't. Jacob's nemisis, who most people are referring to as "Esau" from the Bible, somehow took over Lockes body, and the real Locke was dead. We met these two while they were watching the Black Rock sail into the Island, and Esau could not kill Jacob, but he could if he found a "loophole". Esau made Ben kill Jacob, who did not live in the cabin, but in the statue's foot.The Ajira people were also revealed to have some connection with the Island, for they knew what lied in the shadow of the statute.

In the 70's, Kate, Hurley, and Jack joined Dharma as well. Sayid did not, and was considered a hostile. He was captured by Dharma, but escaped and was able to shoot 12 year old Benjamin Linus. Ben didn't die though, because Kate and Sawyer brought him to the Others, who could save him, but also caused him to become the way he is today. Daniel =, who left the Island to do some Scientific Research, came back with the idea that they could stop the Incident, which wouldn't make their plane crash. To do this, they would use the Hydrogen Bomb that the Others burried in the 50's. They went to the Others for help, but Eloise, who was an Other in that time period, shot him.

The Others eventually teamed up with the Losties, just as Dr. Pierre Chang learned that the new Dharma recruits were from the future, and that a catostrophic event would occur. He orderd the evacuation of the Island, making his mother and his infant son, Miles leave for their own safety.

Using the famous saying from Season 1 "Live Together, Die Alone", everyone worked with Jack to drop the Hydrogen bomb. When they did drop it, nothing happened. Then the drill hit the electromegnetics, and metal from all over was sucked into the hole. Chains wrapped around Juliette, and he was also sucked into the hole, but she was able to tell Sawyer how much she loved him first. Juliette was miraculously alive at the bottom of the pit, right next to the hydrogen bomb. She hit it with a rock, and it exploded. There was a flash of light, revealing the LOST letters to be black.

And with that, the penultimate season of Lost ended in the classic Lost format- answering a few questions, but asking many more.

General Hospital Weekly Roundup: Week of May 18

Yesterday was Memorial Day, so there was a repeat of General Hospital on. It was that faithful episode that left our beloved Micheal in a coma, only to come out of it an older, blonder, and bitter teen ager. So, I took yesterday off to write my column, but I'm back today!

Micheal is awake, but I want him to go in a coma again. I know, I've benn ruiting for him, but he's been a complete bastard to his mother. His language also leaves much to be desired. If I ever talked to my parents like that, I would be slapped back into a coma. How dare he, especially to Carly. Carly was the only person who had faith in him. But Micheal doesn't understand that. He's to busy worrying about driving and chatting with a "kid his own age" Lulu and playing Edward to care. Michael, please, grow up.

Now, the kid wants to live with his dad. Um, why? He's mad at Carly for having a baby that could kill her, but how will he feel when he learns that Sonny almost married Kate while he was in a coma, and he did marry Claudia and now is going to have a kid with her? Maybe he should move in with the Q's.

On the flip side, let's go to another kid. Ethan just learned Luke is NOT his father. Thank God it's not luke. Now, this is the first time I've ever met Holly (is that sad. Well, then again, she was on the soap before I was born), and right now, I'm not sure what I think of her. I hated her when she told Tracy she wanted look, but felt for her when she revealed the true paternity of Ethan. So I'll withold my judgement for a while. Then again, I'm not to found of Robert being the dad either. I loved Ana and Robert together. Speaking of which, will either one ever come back?

Grossest thing this weak: Johnny and Olivia sleeping together. Ew, just ew. She's old enough to be his mother, and they're rolling around. It makes me sick. Will Sonny tell Dante and will he come to rescue his mother? Will we finally see him? How old is he that he doesn;t need his mother with him? I mean, Olivia's been gone for 6 months. Is she missed at all?

In other news: Robin will return this week, perhaps on a broomstick. Let's see if going to rehab helped her. Who knows, maybe she's actually Helena in disguise!

GH is pretty good right now. Stil, let's hope next week is better.

"The Incident": What lies in Store for our Friends?

No, I didn't forget about the GH Weekly Roundup. I'm sorry for those of you who like to read that column, but never fear, it'll be up again next Monday. I purposely did not post the column because I wanted to keep Lost readers in suspense, much like the season finale.

In 2 hours, a lot can and will happen on Lost. And even more happens when it is the season finale. Plus, let's not forget it was the penultimate finale in the series. So it's no wonder why I only had time to recap the show, and not add much of my commentary.

Let's start with the whole Jacob thing. Jacob, whoever the hell he is, has been a huge factor in the lives of the Losties. He's had some sort of control oover them, as if he was a god of some sort. Plus. he never ages, or dies.

Wait a minute, he may have died. I don't know. See, Locke (possibly engulfed by the guy in black we saw in the opening scene) had Ben kill him after Jacob more or less humiliated him. "What about you?". Wow. What a way to hurt a person. So Ben stabbed him, and Locke pushed Jacob into the fire. But how could Jacob be dead, especially when we just met him?

And more importantly, how can our beloved Man of Faith, John Locke, be dead? Was he wrong about destiny? Was he wrong about the Island? Judging from what next season is being tagged "Destiny Found", I doubt it. But I really want Locke to live. Please writers, please.

And what about the flash? Did it cause the Incident, stop it, what? Is Juliette dead?

I always end my Lost columns with the Top 3 Questions I want Answered. This week will be different. Throughout my column, I have been more or less asking questions. So, I will end with something different: a scheduel.

Lost is over until next January. So what will I do over the summer and the fall? Well, the fall is ususally when Lost trailers, spoilers, and scenes start making thier way on the internet. So I will contimue to keep you posted every Thursday on these matters.

Until then, I'll share with you some of the other things I will be writing about over the summer.

Next week, come back as we do a full recap of this season. Then the week after, we'll see how many of my "Top 3 Questions" were answered. We'll also take a look at how many more questions have been asked. Then, come back each week as I share some of my Lost theories. Starting July 1st, I will start watching the entire series over again in preperation for the Final Season. I'll be compiling a list of how many questions still need to ba answered. Who knows, we may even find some answers in the past... or future... or present, or whatever.

I invie you to join me as we unravel the many mysteries of Lost. Destiny calls. Will you find it?

"The Incident"

Wow. Just wow. Last night's episode was everything you'd expect in a Lost finale. There were casualties. New characters were introduced. And it all led up to some shocking revalations, as well as a huge cliffhanger. So, in the words of Eloise Hawking... "Let's Get Started".

In the first scene, we see 2 people watching the Black Rock sail to the Island. Keep in mind one of them is wearing white, and the other one is wearing black. This brings us back to the whole Good vs. Bad thing. Of course, the good person is none other than... JACOB! The evil person is not yet known. But it is revealed that Jacob cannot die, no matter how much the other guy wants to kill him. He can only kill Jacob if he finds a loophole. Very interesting...

Through flashbacks, we see that Jacob has had very important impacts on everyone's life. He helped Kate when she stole. He helped Hurley and Sayid get back to the Island. He helped Jack after that surgery that went wrong. He helped Sawyer write the leetter to Mr. Sawyer. And he helped Locke live after he fell 11 stories.

Kate, Sawyer, and Juliette left the sub to save everyone on the Island. Once they were back, the finally met up with Rose and Bernard. They are happily "retired" living in the jungle and truly happy. It was a very touching scene. It's also a good way to introduce them, or write them out of the show. Whatever happens, they will be happy, even if they do die and become "Adam and Eve" in the caves.

Richard and Elosie left Sayid and Jack to do their thing with the bomb, but were attacked by Dharma people. But, Hurley and the rest came to rescue them.Even though they're rescued, Sayid is shot, and it doesn't look good for him. Finally, all of the Losties are reunited, and even though they don't see eye to eye, they live by the famous line "Live Together, Die Alone." They follow Jack to the Swan area and save him from the Dharma folk. He then throws the Hydrogen bomb into the hatch.

Now, before we finish the story of the 1977 Island, let's flash to the Island in current time. Locke is carrying out his plan to kll Jacob, and puts Ben in charge of the mission. But the Ajiria people have thier own plansand discover a disturbing secret in a crate. They obviously now about the Island, and approach Richard and ask him "What lies in the Shadow of the Statue?" he responds in a different language. Alana later shows what's inside the container- a dead John Locke.

But someone lives in the statue. And for those of you ho want to know, that statue was of Taweret, the Ancient Egyptian goddess of evil, who became the goddess of children and pregnancy. Jacob lives inside there, and when he sees Locke, he asks him if he found his loophole. WTH! Ben confronts Jacob about the way he treated him, and Jacob simply replies "What about You?" Angrily, Ben kills Jacob and Locke pushed him in the fire.

Now, back to the Swan sitch- nothing happens after the bomb is dropped, except for the Incident. The energy is released, and all te metal things around them are pulled into a hole, including Juliette, who is caufght in metal chains. Before plumiting down the hole, she tells Sawyer she loves him, and falls. Oh, and Phil is also killed, but really- who cares? But Juliette is not dead- yet. She's at the bottom of the pit, and she sees the hydrogen bomb. She takes a rock and keeps banging at it. Finally, it explodes, and there's a huge flash... and then...

LOST- the title appears, but in reverse- the letters are in black while the backround is white, leaving us on a major cliff hanger. And so will this post...
