If this show wasn't in its last season I would probably stop watching, it was another meh episode.

What the Island Is: For a couple weeks now, I've been teasing that a four-letter word will be used to describe the island. It has an O, and no A's or E's. Your final clue is this: You'll learn that word next week! Episode number nine is Richard Alpert's (Nestor Carbonell) backstory and it is not to be missed.

What else you need to know (Spoilers ahead!):

- Someone we have not yet met will have an important message for Hurley next week.

- Fake Locke is going to tell Jin how he plans to get off the island, and it's pretty juicy!

- There is a "package" up ahead that might be the most butterfly-inducing reveal so far this season.

It seems to me, that you only care about getting answers, rather than actually enjoying the story itself.

I haven't been tuning in for 6 seasons not to get answers so yeah I expect some answers but I for one dont care about the side flash forwards, dunno the last few episodes I have not liked at all...I have been looking forward to Richards story so yeah lets hope it lives to the billing!

It was an okay episode, kinda slow paced and I could see what was going to happen before it happened...

But its all about next weeks episode, been looking forward to this since I first heard about it last year! The ABC and CTV Previews only show like 4 seconds new footage! :D

I loved last night's episode so much and here's why

The past few "Temple" episodes have been getting real stale for me. It's pretty indicative to why I didn't enjoy the first half of season 3 as well. It raised a curtain to a mystery we've been anticipating for, and once that curtain's been raised, the man behind it isn't what I was expecting at all. And the narrative behind the temple episodes could have been summed up on less than one episode.

This episode marked a migration from the temple episodes to start the momentum towards the finale. Plus I hear it's the last flash-sideways in the series.

I loved the flash sideways for a few reasons:

- You see how dynamic of an actor Josh Holloway really is

- If you recall in the season premiere, Sawyer sees kate in cuffs in the elevator, but allows her to escape from the cops. In this episode you learn Sawyer is a cop! And at the end, you see him apprehend the same person he let go, giving the appearance that they are still somehow drawn to each other

- Sawyer giving up the motivation of revenge by watching Little House

- Miles is an awesome partner

- Cameos by Charlie's brother & Charlotte

With everything going on in the sideways timeline, I'm starting to realize that this isn't the timeline if the "Incident" didn't happen at all...this is the timeline that would have existed if Jacob didn't exist at all.

And as far as the Island parts

- Locke telling Kate his mother was crazy... This is a HUGE reveal/foreshadowing in the show. The viewer can take this one of 2 ways: If the viewer believes Locke is an ancient mythological figure, they can try to do their research into who had a crazy mother. BUUUT, now this might sound crazyy....BUUUT Locke can also be referring that he himself is Aaron. They have yet to reveal Locke's real name, and this might be the reason why.

- Sayid did nothing to help Kate when Claire attacked her. Can the infection be real after all? Is the infection what killed the other people in the Hydra island?

- In the previous episode, Locke told Ben to meet him at the Hydra station. I have a feeling Locke already knows Widmore is there and told Ben to go there in order for him to get killed. Maybe he did the same for Sawyer? Can Locke AND Widmore be in cahoots and both of them are trying to con Sawyer when Sawyer thinks he's conning them?

So yeah, those are the main reasons why I enjoyed this episode so much. And I'm so stoked for the Richard episode next week.

"This Island...everything you see...isn't really what you think it is."

Goddammit. I want it to be next week already.

I don't think Locke and Widmore are in cahoots. Widmore has defenses against smokey so he knows he can't be touched. That's why Locke needed to recruit people to fight and he's given them something to fight for. They need the plane and Widmore clearly isn't gonna let anyone stroll up on Hydra and do as they please. You might be right about Ben although it could be that he was Locke's #1 choice to go over and scope out the Widmore situation since he does have a way with manipulating people.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
