The Candidate
Now it’s getting scary.
LOST is in the home stretch like never before. Last week was a repeat. I was a bit annoyed for a second, then I thought about it. There will never be another LOST repeat again. We have three episodes to go before the two-hour season finale on May 23. Then, it’s over. And it only ends once…
Tonight’s episode is called The Candidate. I’ve heard whispers that LOST is balls to the wall from here on out. I’ve also heard that we LOSTIES should have a box of kleenex handy for tonight’s pivotal episode.
Yes, there will be death tonight. And I hear it’s big bad death. Death that will shake us diehards. Remember how we felt when Charlie died? Yeah, it sucked, and we had only spent two years with him. How are we going to feel tonight when some of our favorites bite the dust. Not Good!
I just hope whoever dies, doesn’t just die for the sake of dying. I hope their death serves a purpose and enhances the overall storyline. I hope the death or deaths, matter.
As is the case every time death rears its ugly head on LOST I make predictions. I called Shannon in season 2. I was shocked by Mr Eko in season 3. I called Juliet from last years finale and I almost threw my TV out the window when Faraday bit the dust last year.
I haven’t heard this anywhere, I’m just guessing, but I think tonight will see the end of JIN/SUN. I think Mr. Jin all but sealed the Kwons’ fate last week when, after a teary reunion with his wife, he said, “We’ll never be apart again.” Ugh, I hope I’m wrong. I have a pit in my fat stomach just thinking about it.
Who else could go? Sayeed possibly? Maybe after he redeems himself ala Darth Vader in Return of The Jedi.
The title of tonight’s show is The Candidate. Do we finally find out who The Candidate is? Can it really be anyone else besides Dr Jack Sheppard? Personally I’d be shocked if it was anyone else but him.
This week will set up the end of the show I’m thinking. Major shit will go down and the ramifications will carry us home.
Next week we will see a break in the current action for the LOST episode I may have been waiting six years for: Across The Sea.
Across the Sea. That’s the big one I hear. That’s the one where the island mythology will finally be explained. I’m told that episode focuses on MIB and Jacob and no one else.
- Who are Jacob and The Man in Black?
- Why is Man in Black a smoke monster?
- Why is Jacob the island protector?
- Why does the island time travel and who built the donkey wheel?
I hear all those things will be explained, which would provide us with clear sailing for the final episodes. ominously titled, “What They Died For” and then, fittingly, “The End” (parts 1 &2) shown back to back on May 23 as the Series Finale.
Yes, we’re near the end and those of us who have stuck with this wonderful show will be richly rewarded, that I’m certain of.
