Well, my last blog post was 14 days ago* - can you tell why? Why might that be? Because there isn't much to hook into yet with the new season? If we are going to get any real answers or conclusions - which, especially with this show, is a pretty big if in the first place - they're going to be coming pretty fast and heavy in the last half of the season, it seems to me.
"What Kate Does" was pretty good, even for a Kate episode, which I was not crazy about. I don't like Kate. I don't know why not, really. Maybe because I don't like some of the choices EL makes as an actor, but I don't even think that is it, really, I have never liked the character. I wish I could put my finger on it but there you go. But in terms of an episode which could kick off a new direction for the mythos - I don't really know if I am using that word correctly, I have started hearing it recently, I'm not sure what it means actually - there were a lot of "big audible gasp" moments. Ethan, for one. That was pretty amazing, didn't see that coming. Sawyer crying; Sayid being electroshock therapy-ed; Jack taking the pill, and of course the wonderful emergence of Clare with the rifle and the awful perm.
And Kate pulled a handgun on pregnant Clare. That is hardcore, Kate. Unless it is possible to overlook the person you are carjacking is really, really, really pregnant until after the fact. Do we believe that or do we believe that Kate is hardcore? Whatever, but we do know now categorically that Kate cannot be trusted under any circumstance and the tears don't cut any ice with me, sister. I have FIRED people - crying? Red kryptonite to me, baby.
"The Substitute" was quite dull. I'm not a big fan of off-island Locke, his hidden depths don't interest me. I want the depths out in the open. Either that or you need to be a whole lot hotter and younger. No offence. And, again, it didn't really progress any of the pre-existing questions we have. However, Sawyer and Smocke (if it were Jacob infecting Locke then it would be Jocke, but I don't know who he is, only that it is the same entity as the black smoke, so he is Smocke) are good together and the cattywompus with the cave names at the end was pretty phenomenal.
Long story short - if it's not too late for that - I am glad Lost is back but it's not as kick-ass as I was expecting or hoping for.
* and that wasn't even about Lost.
