Initial Reaction to "Lighthouse"

I think this season is getting better and better as it moves forward. The writers, producers, directors, and actors had all said, before this season started, that it felt a lot like Season One. Well, now we know why. This season is directly paralleling Season One, by episode-centricity, by scenery, and even by line. It's been really great to have that overall feel of Season One back. It reminds me so much of why I love this show. So, let's get on with why I loved this episode, and some (few) things that I have issues with.

Season Premiere, Initial Reaction to "LA X (Parts 1 & 2)"

WOW. After about 18 hours, and watching it for a second time, I'm still trying to process last night's episode. You would think that after about Five Seasons of an intricate and confusing Television Show, that it would be a little less confusing and hard to wrap your brain around in its Final Season. Nope. I am more confused now than ever before, which is not to say that I don't like where it is headed or that I don't have some theories on said-heading. The biggest thing that I feel coming out of last night's Season Premiere of LOST is that I am proud to say that I watch this show. Sure, sometimes it makes me want to bang my head against a wall, and sometimes I don't agree with the turns it takes, BUT. This show is fearless, and perhaps the most fearless Television Show to ever grace Network Television. It's not afraid to shock us. It's not afraid to kill of our main characters. Hell, it's not even afraid to make an ISLAND a main character, move it through space and time, create an alternate timeline, and then sink it to the bottom of the ocean. For that, I am proud, because LOST doesn't assume that I am not intelligent enough or that I don't have the patience to be challenged into venturing into the unknown. This is one of the many reasons that LOST is not just a Television Show. It is knowledge. It is infinite possibilities. It's not afraid to take risks, to take a chance, to teach us something about ourselves. And as much as I will be so sad when this show ends, I am glad that it's ending.

"Hello. I'm Dr. Edgar Halliwax... (warps and distorts) and this is the Orientation film for Station Six of the DHARMA Initiative. As you've no doubt surmised, Station Six, or "The Orchid," is not... (warps and distorts) a Botanical Research unit. The unique properties... (warps and distorts) of this island have created a kind of Casimir Effect, allowing the DHARMA initiative to conduct unique experiments in both space and time. (Clatter) This... is "the vault", constructed adjacent to a pocket of what we believe... (warps and distorts) to be negatively charged "exotic matter". Great care must be taken to avoid leaving inorganic materials... (warps and distorts) inside the chamber. The electromagnetic energy within the island can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Now for your own safety and the safety of those around you, metallic objects must never... (warps and distorts) be placed within the vault. (whirring) In our first demonstration, we will attempt to shift the test subject 100 milliseconds ahead in four-dimensional space. For the briefest... (warps and distorts) of moments, the animal will seem to disappear, but in reality... (voice distorts)"

Notes:

We return to the flashforward scene from the end of Through the Looking Glass, "The Rattlesnake in the Mailbox," if you will, and resume where they left off, after Kate drove away from Jack. Turns out she stopped the car, and Jack's beard got some Just for Men in the meantime. The plane that flies over them has also mysteriously disappeared.
It would be really funny if LOST or a fan made a video of Jack saying "We have to go back!" and Kate driving away, only to stop the car, go back and say "We have to go back? We have to go back?" then getting back in her car, driving away, Jack screams again "We have to go back!" and rinse and repeat.
The fact that no one visited Walt after they left the island is really sad.
Every time Locke says "it's not an island," I always think he's going to say something completely crazy after that, like "It's purgatory" or "We're living on a giant turtle shell!"
I still have nightmares about Sun's heart-wrenching screams. Seriously, superb acting by Yunjin Kim.
Upon seeing this the first time, I totally never expected the Penny and Desmond reunion to happen so soon. I don't think anyone did. It was a really great surprise in this episode at the time, though it only made me feel doomed for the end of their story. I expected this to happen toward the end of the series. I also thought that maybe the writers should have left their story at that, instead of stringing Desmond along in Season 5, and most likely Season 6. Unless Desmond makes a surprising comeback and we finally find out why he really is so special, I believe they should have let Desmond and Penny's story end happily, and at the height of the viewer's interest.
I absolutely was not expecting Penny to show up in this episode. After The Constant, I think that was the most anyone expected for a Desmond and Penny reunion for a while, so The Searcher showing up in this episode totally caught me off guard. So glad it did though. I think that scene is probably one of the biggest payoffs in LOST thus far.
I always thought Hurley saying "Checkmate, Mr. Eko" and Mr. Eko not being there was really cheap and so lame. They shouldn't have done it if they weren't going to get the actor for that scene.They should've done it with an actor who could've been there or not done it at all. Considering, we see Charlie when Hurley sees Charlie, it's kind of a cop-out to not have Mr. Eko actually there.
So, Walt is like 25 now? Seriously.
I was really disappointed when Hurley didn't give Walt the money he owed him from losing backgammon.
From Lostpedia: Hurley is seen opening a Fruit Roll-Up with the words "Molly Fisher" on it, where the name of the flavor should be. "Molly Fisher" is the name of a mysterious rock in Kent, Connecticut, near a body of water known as the Hatch pond. It appears to have inscriptions of ruins and hieroglyphs that have yet to be deciphered.
You get it? There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. Parts 1, 2 & 3. Very punny, Darlton.
While Locke is watching the Orientation video for The Orchid, the tape starts to rewind, and if you watch closely, Locke also starts to rewind. It's pretty cool. I remember catching this the first time it aired.
The scene where the rafties discover The Searcher, the light coming toward them, they scream for it, is very reminiscent of the scene in Exodus, Part 2, where the others come upon Michael, Walt, Jin and Sawyer on the raft.
The conversation that Jack and Locke have at The Orchid is very reminiscent, and even references the very same conversation they had in Exodus, Part 2.
Jeremy Bentham was influenced by John Locke and David Hume. That was a big clue that it was John Locke who was in the coffin.
The scene where Sun tells Michael that she's pregnant is so awkward. I don't know why they had to throw that in there. Michael and Sun did not have an affair. Michael ain't Sun's baby daddy. Enough already.
Jack is an idiot. After everything he's seen on the island, he still says that it's just an island, and even denies the islands disappearance after witnessing it with his own eyes. He's always in denial. He needs to man up and admit that Locke was actually right about what he was saying at The Orchid. Plus, I love the dig by Locke.
This episode really seemed like the series finale, because, since the beginning of the show, most people assumed that they show would end with them getting off the island. However, I think Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's decision to show us that well-before the ending is a pretty awesome and ballsy move. They show us that they get off the island first, then they show us what happens to them off the island, then how they got off the island. I really appreciate the clever, non-linear story-telling. It makes the story so much more interesting, than say, a show like--cough--HEROES.
The Casimir Effect states that the same matter cannot occupy the same space, e.g. when traveling through time, you cannot come into contact with your former or future self.
Keamy's "life insurance policy" would never get a signal that deep underground, and then send it out to a boat that's miles away. Completely unrealistic, but I'll roll with the punches.
Ben murdering Keamy via about a million stabbings disturbs the hell out of me.
I really don't like the way that they handled the killing off of Michael's character. Harold Perrineau is one of the biggest reasons that I started watching LOST and I believe he deserved a lot more respect than he got, especially after all the hype of Michael's return to the show, only to have him in a few episodes, and then get killed off at the end of the season.
When Ben goes down to the frozen donkey wheel, he falls and cuts his arm on the broken ladder, which is the same cut that is seen in Ben's flashforward in The Shape of Things to Come.
The moving of the island is very similar to the effects of Desmond turning the failsafe key in Live Together, Die Alone.
The visual effects of the island moving are phenomenal.
The white rabbit from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is seen on Aaron's bedroom door.
From Lostpedia: When reversed, the inaudible phone call Kate receives in her dream appears to be "The island needs you, you have to go back before it's too late."
The Oceanic 6 were rescued on Day 108. It's awesome how that worked out.
Jack says "See you in another life, brother" to Desmond as he departs, just as Desmond said to him in Man of Science, Man of Faith.
"The Frozen Donkey Wheel" was a codename used by producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, referring to the secret scene in the Season 4 finale. Secret codenames have been used in every finale of LOST thusfar, however, this episode literally featured a frozen donkey wheel. Although, "The Frozen Donkey Wheel" was used as a deference from the actual surprisingly secret-ending scene of John Locke being revealed as Jeremy Bentham and the man in the coffin.
As not to spoil the viewers for the final scene in this episode, several alternate scenes where shot, one with Sawyer in the coffin as Jeremy Bentham and one with Desmond as well. So glad it wasn't Desmond! Although, John Locke is really the only one that would have made sense and I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. Who else would Jack be so distraught over, leaving Kate baffled about it? It all makes sense now.

During San Diego Comic-Con, in 2007, a video was shown of outtakes from Dr. Edgar Halliwax filming The Orchid Orientation film. If you watch and listen closely, something very interesting seems to happen while filming this Orientation video for the DHARMA Initiative.

Here is the actual Orientation film from The Orchid, shown in this episode. If you watch closely, you can see John Locke literally rewind himself along with the VHS Orientation film involuntarily rewinding itself.

"You said it's my destiny to turn off that jammer. Okay, Bonnie, we're both gonna die down here. All right, let's be perfectly honest. A one-eyed maniac just killed your friend, he shot you in the back. It would appear that your glorious leader, Ben, put him up to it. Are you a sodding idiot? You have the opportunity to make Ben very very angry. Why would you not take that?" Charlie

"Because I want him to see it. I want him to experience the moment that we get off this Island, and I want him to know that he failed. And then I'll kill him." Jack

Sawyer and Juliet get to the beach, Sawyer says 3 guys, 4 guns, they hear something, Hurley shows up with the Dharma van, drives onto the beach, runs over Ryan, Sayid karate's Jason's neck, Tom surrenders to Juliet, but Sawyer kills him anyway, says it's for taking the kid off the raft, that he didn't believe him. From Lostpedia
Jack steals drugs from the hospital, checking the Arland charts, Dr. Hamill says he left 3 messages, Jack says his phone is broken, Mrs. Arland woke up, 2 hours ago, she's in recovery, in some pain, highly responsive to reflex test, lucid, described series of events that caused her accident, driving over a bridge, saw a man standing on the railing, about to jump, got distracted, lost control, ran into median and rolled over, was hit by a car form behind, asks Jack what he was doing on the bridge, Jack wants to know how long he's been at the hospital, what he's been through, says get his father, see if he's drunker than him.
"Mrs. Arland, the woman you saved, woke up in recovery about two hours ago. She was in some pain but highly responsive to the reflex test and entirely lucid. But then she described the series of events that caused her accident. She says she was driving over the bridge when she saw man standing on top of the railing, about to jump off. She was distracted, lost control of her car. She ran into the median, rolled over and was hit by the van behind her. So the obvious question here, Jack, is how did you get to that flaming car so fast? What were you doing on that bridge?" Dr. Hamill
"Do you know how many years I've worked at this hospital? Do you know anything about me? Do you have any idea what I've been through?" Jack "How much have you had to drink today, Jack?" Dr. Hamill "Okay, I'll tell you what, you do this. You get my father down here, get him down here right now, and if I'm drunker than he is, you can fire me. Don't you look at me like that. Don't you pity me." Jack
Hurley calls the Others on the walkie, but Jack answers, Hurley says he went back to help, everyone's fine, Bernard, Jin and Sayid, Sawyer and Juliet, he saved them all, Claire asks about Charlie, Hurley says he's sure he's fine.
Desmond is getting the diving gear, Charlie says he'll tap Good Vibrations out, Desmond says he's not having anymore flashes, Charlie figures out the code, punches it in, then the blinking light goes off.
"So much for fate." Charlie
There is an Incoming Transmission, a woman, tells her he's Charlie Pace, survivor of Oceanic Flight 815, on an island, alive, doesn't know his location.
Penelope Widmore, she wants to know how he got the frequency, she hears Charlie call Desmond, says he's here with him, he's brilliant, asks if she's on a boat, 80 miles off shore, asks about Naomi, parachutist, Penelope doesn't know Naomi, she's not on a boat. From Lostpedia
"Incoming transmission!" Charlie [He quickly presses it, and Penelope Widmore appears on the view-screen] "Hello?! Can you hear me?" Penny "Yes, yes I can hear you." Charlie "Who is this? Who am I speaking to? Penny "Charlie er... Charlie Pace, I'm a survivor of Flight eight-one-five, Oceanic Flight eight-one-five." Charlie "Er... where are you?" Penny "We're on an Island, we're alive." Charlie "An Island!! Well, where, what's your location?" Penny "I dunno. Who's this?" Charlie "This is Penelope. Penelope Widmore. How did you get this frequency?" Penny "Desmond? Desmond!" Charlie "Did you just say Desmond?" Penny "Yeah, he's here, he's with me." Charlie "Is he okay?" Penny "He's brilliant! Hey, are you on the boat?" Charlie "What, what boat?" Penny "Your boat, eighty miles off shore. Er... Naomi, parachutist." Charlie "But, I'm not on a boat, who, who's Naomi? Hello, hello is Desmond there? Desmond, can you hear me? Desmond? Can you hear me?" Penny "Penny!!! No...Charlie!!!" Desmond
Desmond notices Mikhail is gone, Charlie sees him at the window in the communications room, with a grenade, Desmond hears Penny, Mikhail pulls the firing pin out of the grenade, there's an explosion, water starts rushing in, Charlie closes the door, the room is flooding, Desmond tries to get in, Charlie writes a note on his hand, NOT PENNY'S BOAT, puts his hand up to the window so that Desmond can see the message. From Lostpedia
Water rushes in, Charlie does the sign of the cross, Charlie dies. Aaron cries.
Naomi says Charlie just go them rescued, the jamming stopped, she tries to use the satellite phone, Rousseau's message is still on, but they're at the radio tower, iteration 145500445.
Rousseau says the she recorded the message 16 years ago, 3 days before Alex was born, says they don't need it anymore, Rousseau turns it off. From Lostpedia
Naomi can't get a signal inside, outside Ben says stop making the call, it's the beginning of the end, but they're connected, Locke throws a knife in Naomi's back, has a gun, says he did what he had to, tells Jack not to make the call, he doesn't want to shoot him.
Jack says Locke is done keeping them on the island, to kill him, Jack calls the freighter, Locke says he's not supposed to do this, Minkowski answers, says he's Jack Shephard, Naomi told them about their boat, about the search team, says he's one of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, Minkowski says he can get their location, they'll be right there.
Jack is in his apartment, maps all over the place, he sits on the floor drinking alcohol, makes another phone call, says he needs to see the person at the Airport.
Jack goes to the Airport, another car shows up, it's Kate, says she saw him on the news, still pulling people out of burning wreckage, Jack says it's old habits, she says he looks terrible, Kate wants to know why he called, he shows her the obituary, hoping she heard, maybe she'd go to the funeral, she wants to know why she'd go, Jack says he's been flying a lot, the Golden Pass they gave them, every Friday, flies from LA to Tokyo or Singapore, Sydney, gets off, has a drink, flies home, he wants it to crash, doesn't care about anyone else on board, turbulence, he prays to get back, sick of lying, says they made a mistake, Kate has to go, says he's going be wondering where she is, Jack says they were not supposed to leave, Kate says yes they were.
"Saw you on the news. Still pulling people out of burning wreckage, huh?" Kate "Old habits." Jack
"That golden pass that they gave us. I, I've been using it. Every Friday night I, I fly from LA to Tokyo or, Singapore, Sydney. And then I, I get off and I, have a drink, and then I fly home. Because I want it to crash, Kate. I don't care about anybody else on board. Every little bump we hit, or turbulence, I mean I, I actually close my eyes and I pray that I can get back. No, I'm sick of lying. We made a mistake. We were not supposed to leave." Jack
"We have to go back, Kate. We have to go back!" Jack
