LIBBY!!!

Due to the presence of Libby in Lost news lately (for those who do not like spoilers, I will just leave it at that) I have decided to dedicate this blog post to Libby, my 3rd favorite character (1-Juliet, 2-Kate). I would like not only to discuss Libby’s character, but to ask questions and make some theories.

The first time we meet Libby, is when she, Eko and Cindy, stumble across Jin on the beach, after he has come ashore from the destroyed raft. We really don’t learn much about her, until the episode The Other 48 Days, when we learn that she is a clinical psychologist. Other than that, we don’t know much about her. The only glimpse we see into her past is very brief. We see her in the Santa Rose Mental Institution in Dave, and we know she gave Desmond her dead husband’s boat in Live Together, Die Alone. After this episode, we never see her again, due to the fact that she was killed in Two For The Road and she is the only main character who has never been given a flashback.

But, we all know that Libby is more important than what we have seen before. Why was she not given a flashback? Why was she in the hospital? Who is her husband? These questions boggle my mind. I have a mini theory that’s running through my mind right now. I entitle it a “mini theory” because it is very vague.

Libby, due to her odd staring at Hurley in the Santa Rose Mental Institution, is someone who is following Hurley. Libby is following Hurley for either of the following: he knows about and the numbers or she is an undercover psychologist and is sent to monitor LeonardHurley.

Eh. I’m probably totally wrong, but I guess we will eventually find out. What do ya’ll think about Libby?

Terry O'Quinn was "tickled pink"

Here I am again! So, as well know, even though last night was not a great night for Lost, it was a great night for Terry O’Quinn! I’m so glad that at least one of the brilliant actors on the best show on TV got some props! And his speech was just too funny! Here’s a video clip!

So, once again congratulations to Terry O’Quinn and his family! Check back soon for more Lost related blogs!

Sorry for the delay...

Hey all! Sorry I haven’t updated in a while! School was starting and I just couldn’t get around to it! To make it up to you, I will make two posts today: one pre-Emmys and one post Emmys.

As I promised you last time we met, I would do a Season 1 review and discuss things I missed (or didn’t understand) the first time around. And then I will pose some questions I’ve had running through my mind all week.

One thing I really want to talk about it Boone’s death. I remember thinking that Locke was a complete jerk for claiming that Boone was a sacrifice the Island demanded. I remember thinking he was completely insensitive. But it makes sense! The island took away Locke’s ability to walk, so Boone would go up in the plane. Then Boone died, causing Locke to get upset and bang on the hatch door. We learn in Season 2, that this stops Desmond from killing himself, and saves the Island, and the world, from destruction. Locke was right: all roads lead to the Hatch!

Another thing I wanted to talk about was Kate. How come I didn’t realize how annoying she was first season? Don’t get me wrong, Kate is still my second favorite character, but I don’t remember her being so secretive and sneaky during Season 1. I kind of like it though.

Another thing I wanted to talk about was Walt and Vincent. I didn’t realize how many significant things they did this season. First off, let me say that a lot of my information was based off of things I heard from The Lost Flashbacks (a brand new Podcast, check it out)! Did anyone catch the fact that when Michael told Walt he would look for Vincent after it stopped raining, in Tabula Rasa, that it immediately stopped raining? Yes, it could just seem like good timing and comedic relief, but, what if Walt made it stop raining? Interesting stuff. And, Vincent: How strange was he acting those first few episodes? It makes you wonder what he was actually doing in the jungle the first few days.

Re-watching Season 1 was so much fun! Re-visiting all the information we were given Season 1 makes the rest of the series, especially Season 3, all the more interesting. If ya’ll get a chance, I recommend watching Season 1 during the hiatus! It’s a good refresher course!

So, I don’t really have a theory of the week, but I was pondering something this morning. In A Tale of Two Cities, we see Ben order Ethan and Goodwin to infiltrate the Losties’ camps. Ethan, as we saw, doesn’t look like the type of guy that takes charge. Although we realize that he is a strong and smart guy, he doesn’t look that way just by observing him. He is a perfect candidate for infiltrating. But why send Goodwin? Goodwin is a big, strong, nice looking guy that seems like perfect leadership material. Isn’t the point of infiltrating a camp to be unnoticed? It seems like Ben had some ulterior motives for sending him in!

Okay guys, I’ve got to do homework before I watch the Emmys tonight. Good luck to all those that are involved in Lost and nominated for awards tonight! I’ll be back to discuss the victory, or the disappointment.
