LOST: On Location - Episode 3

I just want to warn you that this week's video is pretty minor considering there wasn't many O'ahu locations in "Jughead."  But, I hope you enjoy it anyway!

LOST Review: Season 5, Episode 3 - "Jughead"

Wow.  Who would have thought that one of the most revealing episodes ever would come in the second week of Season 5?

"Jughead" starts off with the birth of Desmond and Penny's son Charlie in the Philippines.  I presume Charlie is named after Charlie Pace, the man who saved Desmond's life.  Charlie/Charles could also be a nod to Penny's father Charles Widmore.

When Desmond spoke to his son about the island that he left long ago, I thought he was talking about The Island, not Great Britain. :)

Back on The Island, we found out that the year our heroes have time-traveled to is 1954 (50 years in the past) and that the "soldiers" are actually The Others apparently led by Richard Alpert (although he does say something about having superiors and a chain of command). And we finally have confirmation that a young Charles Widmore was once on The Island.  I love when Widmore says, "You think he knows the island better than I do?"  I was literally saying, "YES!"

Back in 2007, Desmond finds out a connection between Daniel Faraday and Charles Widmore.  So, it seems that EVERYONE is converging in on Los Angeles.  The Oceanic 6 is already there plus Ben and Ms. Hawking.

Speaking of Ms. Hawking, the enhanced episode of "The Lie" says her first name is Eloise.  Could Ellie on The Island in 1954 be Eloise Hawking?  Going further out on a limb: could Ms. Hawking be Daniel Faraday's mother?  Daniel named his rat Eloise.  Widmore says Daniel's mother is in Los Angeles, which is coincidentally where Ben meets up with Ms. Hawking.  Just something to think about as we push ahead this season.

I'm also intrigued by the Compass Time Loop.  Future Locke gives 1954 Alpert a compass from Future Alpert.  Alpert later shows a 5-year-old Locke the same compass which he doesn't recognize.  Locke grows up and crashes on The Island.  Ben moves The Island which sets Locke traveling through time where he gets the compass from Alpert and goes back to 1954 to give it back to Alpert.  I have a headache.

The episode ends with Charlotte going full-Minkowski on Daniel.  This doesn't look like it will end well.

Here's how I rank the episodes this season so far:

1) Jughead

2) Because You Left

3) The Lie

Unfortunately, no obvious public O'ahu locales in the episode this week.  I'll be keeping my eyes peeled every week for a chance to do another "On Location" video.

LOST: On Location - Episode 2

While I'm gathering my thoughts on Season 5, I decided to do another "On Location" video at two shooting locations that were revealed in the Season 5 premiere episodes "Because You Left" and "The Lie." I hope you enjoy it!

LOST: Season 5 Is Tonight!

Set your DVR!  The two-hour season 5 premiere of "Lost" is tonight on ABC.  Here in Hawaii, it starts at 7 p.m. with a recap show.  At 8 p.m. there will be two episodes in a row!

I might post something later tonight, but I will most likely post my thoughts tomorrow.

Happy LOST watching!

LOST Celebrity Playlists on iTunes

I love iTunes. Every Tuesday, there's always FREE songs and videos to be downloaded. Plus, there's been a lot of LOST content this year.

Now, LOST has been included in the Celebrity Playlists section [iTunes link] with Evangeline Lilly, Naveen Andrews, and, you guessed it, Michael Emerson! They wrote a comment for each song they picked. It's interesting to see the different musical leanings amongst the cast. Would love to see more playlists from the cast and crew.
