LOMGST! Lost Recap – Ab Aeterno

Lost-richard-fight-jacob

PREVIOUSLY ON LOST: Richard is a mysterious dude who appears to wear some kind of permanent kohl eyeliner and never ages. The weirdness of this isn’t lost on good old Ben Linus, who comments, in ominous tones, that Richard is an advisor to Jacob and that he has had that job for a “VERY. VERY. LONG. TIME.” After Jacob gets stabbed by Ben and goes up like a lighter fluid doused s’more in the fire pit at Jacob’s Giant Egyptian God-shaped lair, Richard gets muy triste — or some other word for emo and bummed out that I don’t know since I don’t actually speak Spanish — because he spent his whole life in service of Jacob and now Jacob’s dead, and his (relentless, unending) life is a hollow lie. Richard then begs Jack to help him to commit suicide by… wait… for… it… DYNAMITE, and though I would never condone the taking of one’s own life by self-explosion, even I have to admit that’s pretty badass. BOOM!

LOMGST! Lost Recap – Recon

PREVIOUSLY ON LOST: Okay, so this is weird. This here episode didn’t start with the usual “Previously on LOST” bit, and I can’t recall when, if ever, that’s happened before, but I’m just going to roll with it, because with a mere 9 episodes remaining until the finale, apparently the producers are all Fuck all y’all if you don’t know what’s going on at this point… WHEE!!! Do you want to go faster? RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU WANT TO GO FASTER! And really, who am I to question their wisdom? BOOM!

LOMGST! Lost Recap – Dr. Linus

Lost_Dr_Linus_richard-jack

Previously on LOST: Once upon a time, on an island far, far away (OR IS IT?), Ben stabbed Jacob and Faux Locke pushed him into a giant, indoor firepit. Jack and Hurley found a lighthouse with space-time-continuum-bending mirrors encircled by a wooden ring with names and numbers written on it, several of the names being those of Losties, whose corresponding numbers match The Numbers (ie, 4 8 15 16 23 42). Jack, who is more than a little freaked out by this discovery, got all staring-out-at-the-vast-ocean-whilst-contemplating-life broody, while Hurley conversed with Dead Jacob about how “someone bad” is coming to the island. DUN DUN DUH! The smoke monster destroyed the temple and killed off a bunch of superfluous Other-Hun extras, and Ben ran into — and got suitably creeped out by — the newly-minted murderous Zombie Sayid. BOOM!

LOMGST! Lost Recap – Sundown

Sundown-2

Previously on LOST: Once upon a time (which time, we’re not quite sure, mind you), Greasy Others shot Sayid dead in Dharma Village. A short while later, Hun-like others — including that dude from Deadwood — try to revive him by holding him underwater in a giant, poopy jacuzzi. This bizarre resuscitation technique appears to fail… until later, when the presumed corpse of Sayid sits up, looks around, and is all, WTF? You guys totally drew on my face with a Sharpie while I was out, didn’t you? No they didn’t, but Fu Man Chu (aka Dogen, just roll with it) decides that while magic marker humiliation of Sayid may not be in order, divination by way of actual physical torturing of him is, and it is through this methodology that he determines that Sayid is “claimed” and has ookie dark creepies in him. Fu tries to poison bad cootified Sayid, but — SURPRISE! — is foiled by Jack being… well, Jack. A bit later on, in a CLASSIC Jack move, Jack goes to Sayid and tells him, Oh by the by, the Other-Huns tried to kill you because you have, like, creeping death or soul rot-gut or something… Pie? BOOM!

LOMGST! Lost You-Recap – Lighthouse

Screen-capture

Friends, internet citizens, Lost fans, I will sadly not be able to recap Lost today due to a confluence of circumstances… HOWEVER! There is much to discuss, and I won’t be able to sleep tonight if I don’t get to WTF? with y’all. SO.

LOMGST! Lost Recap – The Substitute

Sideways Locke Helen

Previously on LOST: Bitter Sawyer is bitter. Bitter Sawyer is also guilty-feeling, self-flagellating Sawyer, and Kate is still all, “Look at me! I’M PRETTY TOO!” Faux Locke is creepy and (as Ben saw, up close and personal) the smoke monster, and God (and Jacob) only knows what else. Richard with the FABULOUS eyeliner recognizes Fake Locke as Jacob’s nemesis, so Fake Locke promptly punches him in the throat and carries him off into the jungle, but not before admonishing everyone that he’s VERY disappointed in all of them (Jeez, Dad, way to break up a party). Real Locke remains dead, though in Dimension #2 (D2) — the one in which the plane never crashed — he’s very much alive, if still quite wheelchair-bound. But keep in mind that whatever you do, don’t tell him what he can’t… BOOM!

LOMGST! Lost Recap – What Kate Does

Lost-foo-deadwood

Previously on Lost: Once upon a time, Sawyer happily played house with Juliet in the Dharma village of the 1970s, until she got sucked down a electromagnetically charged shaft and died in Sawyer’s arms (OR DID SHE? That’s in Dimension #1, you’ll recall). Sawyer is PISSED at Jack and blames him for Juliet’s death (though isn’t he really in love with Kate? Whatever, I can’t keep track of all the romantic triangles and quadrangles and other odd geometric shapes at this point). Everyone gets captured by island Huns, who seems simultaneously sinister and helpful, as they bring Sayid back to life by holding him face down in a giant poopy jacuzzi, and then continue holding him down until they drown him, which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but then again, really, how much of any of this show does? Unsurprisingly, an hour later, Officially Proclaimed Dead Sayid inexplicably sits up, looks around, and is all, Dude, WTF? BOOM!
