LOST 4/21 — The Last Recruit


With Jack in a stupor from Widmore's rocket attack, he unwillingly becomes part of the Locke Monster's posse and apparently the last recruit.  Jack is not convinced that he has done what he came back to the Island to do (especially since he doesn't know what that is), but he has decided to stick around for awhile longer.

I was impressed with some of the crumbs that were thrown our way.  Sayid is vacillating, Desmond is apparently not dead, Claire is becoming more lucid, and Sawyer has taken charge, although he was surprised to find out he no longer had a "deal" with Widmore.  Duh.......

Of course, I have to mention the Sun/Jin reunion, although I was disappointed it wasn't more dramatic, and did anyone notice that Jin seemed to be just casually wandering around by himself (not under guard) and well, whatever, you saw the rest.

With Desmond manipulating the Sideways reality, our characters are continuing to interact.  Great to see Ilana as an attorney, but too coincidental that her law firm was right next door to the adoption agency.  That's about as contrived as a daytime soap!  At least some of the characters are starting to notice they were on Oceanic 815 together.

Did Sun and Locke interact on the plane, because she recognized him when they went into the ER together, but she acted as though she was afraid of him?  Maybe it is the near-death moment that triggers the window into the Island experience.

It's all very exciting and I wouldn't even venture a guess as to what is going to happen next.  But, I feel confident that, since the series creators knew the desired ending before they started, and since they've done an awesome job so far, we will be rewarded with a worthy ending. 

Stay tuned, fellow Losties!!
