- Desmond's boat is (almost) exactly the same model my dad had a few years ago (a crane dropped it and he had to get a new one because the hull would have been way too expensive to ever repair properly). This both pleased and disturbed me a little, especially because Desmond reminds me a little bit of my dad in the first place.

- Also, WAS THAT LIBBY HE GOT IT FROM?? WHAT IS HAPPENING!! I won't go on any kind of wikipedia to check (I hardly dare look up actors names!) because I am trying to stay away from spoilers, but that was her right? So she was in the mental hospital with Hurley, and she met Desmond and then she was on the plane and ended up on the island? The coincedences are starting to hurt my head a bit, but I'm loving it.

- And how cute was Desmond?

- Is Penelope's father the same guy who plays King George in Once Upon a Time? IT IS ISN'T IT. Wow. Talk about having a preference for playing shitty parents! You go dude, you're as creepy and scary as ever ;-) I hope we get to see more of him, and considering the final scene, that does seem likely...

- It's good to see Sayid getting back in the game: as much as I hated Shannon's death, I love how they treated it afterwards. She wasn't forgotten by the show, she has been mentioned several times, Sayid was a bit in the background following, clearly not wanting to take part in the activites as he was grieving and we saw him go batshit crazy on Henry in 'One of Us', his love and grief for Shannon coming to a violent conclusion. It was treated as it should. That being said I AM STILL IN DENIAL. Just a little bit. It was good to see him getting back in the thick of the action though. In case you hadn't noticed, I really love Sayid ;-)

- The development in general of the characters have been very well-done and believable imo: Sun and Jin working out their differences to a greater extent (and is someone going to learn Jin English soon? Like, get on that people. It's not the time you lack) and discovering she is pregnant! I'm really happy, except not, because all I see in the future is PAIN and this is a sound analysis based on the two other pregnant people whose been on the island (Danielle and Claire). Then there's Jack, who has become even more ready and determined to take action, and I think is more comfortable in his role as pseudo-leader, which does unfortunately make him clash with Locke in some eps. And then there's the big man himself: Mr. John Locke, who loses his faith and all he thought he believed in, only to ultimately be proven wrong in that as well. My heart is breaking for the man, but I am also frustrated at him: even when he is completely disillusioned, he has to prove that the button is fake. Why not just leave it be? He is still obsessing over it, just in another way now. It is still controlling him. Locke is as much the slave there as Eko, and then he is wrong ohgod. And now dead? Only I'm guessing they aren't, because they're on the S3 disks, ha!

- One character whose development I am not happy about is Charlie, however. I'm too tired to write page up and page down about some of the things I think the writers massively screwed up with him, but I think my main complaint right now is that I just don't get him. I don't understand what he was trying to do when he found Locke crying in the woods, and I don't understand why he's lying to Claire in the last part? Okay, I'll admit it could have been much worse, there were just a lot of parts that really bothered me.

- That being said:

'Charlie! Do you know how they got the hatch door open?'
'No, but if you hum it to me, I can probably play it...'

I actually had to stop the episode because I was laughing so hard at this. Clueless!Charlie is the funniest, sweetest thing ever.

- Henry is well creepy. He's the leader! Of course! Ohgod, that's just... yeah, Sayid should have killed him when he had the chance (I AM SORRY I JUST WROTE THAT but it is kinda true). I'm guessing Henry is not The Man in Black, since (as far as I can understand and remember from the spoiler I stumbled upon years ago), TMB is not human? And I mean, Henry could definitely get hurt like a human (unless he was acting, in which case the Oscar goes to...)

- I... I can't condone or forgive Michael for what he did. It wasn't right, it wasn't moral. But he did it to get his son back. He would do anything for his kid, and I'm... I can understand that. He wanted his son back, and damn yeah, he was going to sacrifice a bunch of people he had hardly known for two months to do that. I'd let the rest of the world burn for the one person I loved too.

- The character-development from Sawyer is good as well. His admission that Jack was somewhat his friend was so genuine that it hurt my soul a lot. And his obvious hurt that Kate and Jack 'got caught in a net'. And then finding out that it was an actual net, haha. I'm still rooting for the two of them, Kate and Sawyer, because the actors have the most amazing chemistry and... and okay he was drugged and wounded and half-unconscious but he said he loved her, and then we don't get to see anything for the rest of the season and I'm kind of loving the slow build? Which means I'll be really dissapointed if this ship crashes before it even gets to set sail.

- 'Live together, die alone' needs to be said in every season finale from now on. I'll be dissapointed if it doesn't!

- 'I think I made your plane crash' ,this is such a horrible thought and it could so easily be something that 'rationally' explained what is happening. Only then there's so many of them meeting before, the randomness of who got on the flight and who didn't, the Black Smoke, the island's 'healing abilities'... I feel like the only answers I've gotten from this season has just left me with more questions. Why and Who and How.

- What was that statue?

- What is the Dharma Initiative's function? The countdown was real, but then there was the seemingly 'social experiments' and now the whole thing's been abandoned, despite there still being someone from the Initiative on the island at the time Desmond gets there? Which is only three years ago. How many other hatches are there?

- Who are 'the Others' really, and what makes them think they're the good guys, considering they go around kidnapping children like every other day? (children and people in general)

- Why Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Hurley particularly? Why let Hurley go? Why trade these four(three) for Walt, who was clearly 'special' - was he not 'special enough'?

- (why does everyone die so suddenly, I'm afraid to start episodes because I never know when I will be safe this shit is not funny anymore)

- Will Sun and the baby be okay? Will Claire and her baby be okay?

- Why does the cover of the S3 case say 'Jacob loves you?' For some reason it just really creeps me out. Don't answer (any of it). I'm just FREAKING OUT A LITTLE OHGOD.
