LOST: Almost The End

May 19, 2010 by Kristin Leave a Comment

Only one night of “Lost” left. Seriously. We got some answers last night in “What They Died For,” but we have plenty of questions left.

But before we jump right in, if you haven’t watched the latest episode, you may want to stop reading. Until then, if you need us, we’ll be running through the jungle. Right, Miles?

Meanwhile, Desmond in flash-sideways is intense. And Ben seems to remember something from the island. But supposedly Desmond just wanted to help Locke to let go.

And then there was the Widmore/Linus reunion, which was intense in its own right, especially since Ben ends up ending Widmore. But are we really done with him? Seems like there is a little more of that story to be told …

Jacob! And Kate, Sawyer and Jack can see him too. Hurley, buddy, you’re not alone this time. Jacob even answers some questions! He wanted them to have a choice [free will, if you will …] about deciding to protect the island. He assumed Kate didn’t want the job since she became a mom. Yet, Sun wasn’t eliminated in Jacob’s mind, maybe because she was partnered with Jin.

Sawyer asks Jacob what gives him right to mess with their lives. Jacob has an answer! “You were all flawed. I chose you because you were like me. … You needed this place as much as it needed you.”

Jack wasted no time assuming responsibility of protecting the light. “This is why I am here. This is what I am supposed to do.” The responsibility was passed like a torch … er, a cup. [The communion symbolize continues for me!] Jacob tells Jack, “Drink this. … Now you are like me.”

The great lines abounded this week, maybe even more than usual. I guess those writers just wanted to show off before the show ended:

“I lived in these houses 30 years before you. Otherwise known as last week.” [Miles to Ben]

“We are very close to the end, Hugo.” Really? Thanks, Jacob.

“If you need us, we’ll be running through the jungle.” [Miles]

“We insist, even if we have to kidnap you.” Danielle Rousseau to Dr. Linus. Then Alex’s mom tells him: “You are the closest thing to a father she has ever had.” Oh, the irony.

“I think you are mistaking coincidence for fate.” Nice one, Jack.

And speaking of fate. Fake Locke wants to destroy the island. Not just leave it. We’ll see, there are only 2 1/2 hours left. I have no doubt we’ll be oohed and ahhed and surprised. And I’m still waiting to see if Juliet is David’s mom in the flash-sideways. Oh, and these flash-sideways, surely they’re going to make sense … soon.

What do you think? What do you want to know in these final 2 1/2 hours? What do you expect?

    gotta agree with you on your assessments…loved the lines too, especially the 'flawed one'–wow
    yeah, there were questions answered…to the people on the island, but not to us…i want to know why they died too.

    i still have questions…what the heck is the ash's powers? and where did they get the ash that kept the monster at bay in the first place? going back several seasons…what was the big deal with walt and why have we not seen anything come of that? what about bernard and rose?

    do you have a theory on what the secret that widmore was telling locke about what jacob knew about desmond's electromagnetic field powers? i think des is the only one that can venture into the light and not get fried and maybe pull the monster back into prison.

    I think you're right about Desmond. I think he can withstand the power of the light.

    Yes! We need to know about Walt, Bernard and Rose! Maybe they'll be at this concert everyone else seems to be planning for. There could be a mighty reunion next week! At least, there better be!

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our high school girl who never forgets, our middle school boy who has no fear, and our joy-filled first-grade girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

In a week filled with all the parenting emotions, In a week filled with all the parenting emotions, God has provided conversation with friends who understand, new mercies, a few walks and talks with a friend, and cinnamon rolls on a rainy Friday afternoon. I’ve been reminded when we are vulnerable and share our real lives, friends bring truth and goodness — often in ways we don’t expect but bless us anyway.

People ask when I have time to write. The truth is People ask when I have time to write. The truth is I like to make time to write, but sometimes it happens in the cracks of my days — at Panera, in the Notes app on my phone, at the library before I pickup my kids, or while I’m waiting on kids at activities. This week I edited my manuscript while Rachel practiced soccer.

I needed this weekend. The UK Wildcats didn’t I needed this weekend. 

The UK Wildcats didn’t win this afternoon like I had hoped. But following our house full of people on Friday night, I’ve spent a lot of time on my couch, under a soft blanket, with a book, while I watch #MarchMadness. 

Yesterday I pulled “When We Left Cuba” by @chanelcleeton from my to-be-read stack and then realized it was the second in a series about the Perez family. Thanks to @libby.app, I was able to get “Next Year in Havana” immediately. 

I finished it today during commercials and timeouts. And now I’m going to start “When We Left Cuba” as another basketball game also gets going.

I had no idea just how deeply I would be affected I had no idea just how deeply I would be affected while studying Genesis 1-2. Going back to the beginning and seeing how God created, ordered, and filled the earth has been exactly what I didn’t know I needed, especially as a mom. 

For quite a while now, I feel like I’ve been living a day at a time. I used to be able to see my life in larger chunks of time and anticipate and prepare accordingly. Now, I slap things on the calendar and then deal with them as they come. Navigating life with two teenagers and a first-grader is the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Honestly, this moment-to-moment living has been good for me and helped me rely on the God who created the stars and rivers that still exist in our world. Focusing on where I am helps me take slower steps, trust God to provide, and remember I’m not in control. I’ve felt an internal shift with my relationships — with my husband, kids, and friends. I’ve felt behind on laundry and dishes and piles of papers. But I’ve also felt a refreshed nearness to God. 

I’m going to rest here while believing God created life and light when there was only darkness and continues to order my days.

My friend @ashleelyoung told me about this memoir, My friend @ashleelyoung told me about this memoir, but I knew nothing about Sutton Foster or her story beforehand. She’s a TV actress and Broadway singer and dancer who processes her life — complicated family life, love, loss, spotlight, infertility, adoption, motherhood — by creating. She creates in the kitchen, on stages, with yarn, with paint, with her hands, and with her mind. But her story really is all the experiences and emotions that inspire her creative work. I enjoyed this one.

Yesterday was one of my favorite kids of days with Yesterday was one of my favorite kids of days with some of my favorite friends. Kids played inside and out, the TV was never on, and new memories were made with old friends. Plus we ended the night with our ninth year of Little Hands Trivia Night. It was our worst finish ever, but we still had such a fun time!
