4 stars! Nearly 5, but most eps are like that! Oh man, I so badly want to watch more! I don't remember seasons 5 and 6 as well as the first four so they are the only ones that can still surprise me sometimes.  I loved seeing one of the orientation films being made! That was so awesome. Makes it feel so real. And we finally learned the real name of the guy who always use fake candle based names; Pierre Chang. That was so crazy at the beginning when we see Daniel is the guy who bumped into him since we know this is happening in the past. The time skipping is so crazy and awesome! Locke seeing the drug plane crashing, then time jump to it being on the ground, then time jump again and it's back up on the cliff. Richard showing up, knowing Locke would be there and knowing he needed to remove that bullet... that was in his leg cuz ETHAN shot him! So crazy cool! Then Richard giving Locke the compass to help convince his past self that he can trust Locke. I love when they do stuff like that in time travel things. But most of all, Daniel giving a message to Desmond and Desmond recalling this new memory from the past through a dream. I freakin' love this show. The writers did such a great job describing in such a simple way what was happening. The whole "like a record skipping" was brilliant. Also brilliant was that at the beginning, Pierre's record started skipping. Such a great, symbolic hint to what was happening and how Daniel would describe it. Fun fact: The clock on the wall at the airport in the holding cell where Charles and Sun are talking says 9:22. That's the date that the plane crashed; September 22nd. Favorite quotes/moments: Foreman: (to Daniel from the future) Did you hear that? Time travel. How stupid does that guy think we are? Hurley: (to Sayid) You know, maybe if you ate more comfort food you wouldn't have to go around shooting people. Locke: What is this? Richard: It's a compass. Locke: What does it do? Richard: It points north, John. Sawyer: Yo, open up! It's the Ghost of Christmas Future! |

4 stars from me as well, also almost 5 though. Agreeing with everything you wrote, Heidi! So I'm gonna keep this short. I totally love the time traveling genre and find it so awesome that this has been added to one of the best shows I've ever watched!!!  I'm always glad to see Ben on screen, and wow, now working together with Jack! Who would have thought? Lol That Desmond/Daniel scene at the end was the best!!! I'm so looking forward to seeing them arrive at Oxford! Can't wait! Gah, stupid work... Does it sound crazy (well, okay, you already know I am anyway lol) that I love the new Sayid? XD He's really badass, in kind of a sad way though. |
