Is Locke LOST?
[The following contains mild to spicy spoilers from last night’s LOST. Read at your own risk.]
What the fuck is going on? Jacob, the “man behind the curtain” is invisible? I wasn’t sure if Ben could actually see him or if he was just fucking with Locke. But then Jacob spoke and it was eerie. Then Locke shined his flashlight and Jacob got mad. But was there someone really there? Or is Ben just fucking nuts? Well, there was somebody there. If you didn’t catch it, let me show you.
If that’s not creepy enough for ya, czech this out.
I feel sorry for all those people who gave up on LOST. The show has never been better. Last week’s Locke-centric episode was the icing on the cake of a phenominial season. Last night we got the first ever Ben-centric episode, and Christ was it creepy.
I do have to say that I’m not too happy with how the episode ended. Ben shot Locke in the gut and left him for dead. Locke better not die. He is the most interesting character on the show. They already killed off Mr. Eko this season. If Locke is gone too, I’m not going to be a happy camper. All he has to do is pull out that bullet and wait for the magic of the island to heal him. Look at Mikhail, he seems to be alright.
ABC announced this week that LOST will return in 2008 without any preemptions or repeats and that it will end in 2010. ABC has ordered 48 more episodes, which is typically two seasons of 22 each. But ABC is going to stretch it out for three seasons of 16 episodes. This is retarded. The ratings are already down because of long hiatuses and now ABC wants to stretch it out even more. They’ll be lucky if anyone is still watching come 2010. I know I will.
