 Welcome:
  
ABC
(Get a full recap of the episode at the official Lost site. This spoiler-laden discussion assumes you've seen last night's episode.) So a ghostbuster, a physicist, a pilot, and an anthropologist walk into Gilligan's Island... Wait. What? ... Oceanic 815 has been found almost intact on the ocean floor? No fuselage on the beach? No tail section in the jungle? No pilot eaten by a giant black-smoke not-dinosaur! I knew it! Wormholes! Parallel dimensions! They're all on the holodeck! They're all dead and in purgatory! I've been saying it all along! Oh, no. It's a fraud, a fake, a coverup. Oceanic Air is in on the whole Darma Initiative thing. Oceanic planted a plane on the ocean floor to be found by salvagers to hide the fact that there are survivors on the island, except those survivors will now have to be killed to keep Darma's secret. And those murders will, of course, have to be kept secret. Except ... a 747, or whatever kind of widebody jumbo passenger jet Oceanic 815 was, is big. And important. Since 9/11 we have to consider them potential weapons of mass destruction. The tail numbers or registration numbers or whatever are carefully monitored. You couldn't just disappear one of them without people noticing, which is what Oceanic would have had to do, because now the airline has lost two of them in the South Pacific: one by accident, and one by design. I called the Oceanic family hotline number -- 888-548-0034 -- hoping to get more information, but none was forthcoming. It's almost as if Oceanic wants to keep us in the dark ... Okay, seriously: We've all been desperate for something to, you know, happen on this show, and here it finally is. Big developments. Oceanic is in on it. Was any of it even an accident? My mind blew in little tiny ways all throughout this episode, which is great: this is how Lost used to make me feel, and it's nice to have our show back again. = Locke would be dead if he still had a kidney there? *boom* (that's a little tiny brain explosion) = Polar bear in the desert? With a Darma collar? *boom* = Locke knows that Hurley knows about the shack? *boom* = Ben has a guy on the freighter? *boom* But why was Daniel sad when he saw the "news" about Oceanic 815's "discovery" on the ocean floor? He's a physicist, right? A scientist who studies the subatomic underpinnings of the universe? Maybe he knew about the island before the plane went missing? Maybe he knew the plane was going to go missing? Maybe he's the guy messing around with wormholes for Darma? Wormholes. I'm tellin' ya. It's all gonna be about wormholes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Comments
