Just a bunch-o-crap from 2010 I never finished. I promise thee blogoland, more up to date entries incoming.
The Candidate *spoilers* (Originally unfinished on 5/5/2010)
Here be spoilers. If you haven't seen the new episode of Lost (PIGVOMIT!) then wait until then before reading this... Because I need to talk to SOMEBODY about it, even if it is just typing it up in my blog... I also wanna discuss next weeks episode and some theories... NERD OFF! Okay Spoilers staaaart NOW!
The episode started with the Sideways timeline, so I'll begin there. I wont jump back and forth between the two like in the episode, I'm just going to deal with each timeline separately.
So we get no Previously on LOST, which I'm more than happy about. We need all the screen time we can get as we go into the last 4 episodes. Straight away we've got Jack and Locke in the Sideways talking about Locke been a Candidate (for some crazy new spinal surgery) and Jack trying to convince him to take the leap. Surprisingly enough this doesn't interest Locke at all, he seems to want to stay a cripple, the exact opposite of Original Locke. But we find out later on he has his reasons, thanks to Jack sticking his nose into other peoples business. There's also some scenes with Bernard and Helen that are vital to the episode but deal more with narrative themes such as Irony and of course the mirroring between the two timelines (Flocke saves Jack in OT, Jack saves Locke in FST)
The Sideways Locke had been taking flying lessons and decided to take his father as his first official passenger. Locke mentions he doesn't even remember what happened that they crashed before they even took off, and now *drum roll* Anthony Cooper is a vegetable in a wheelchair. If you ask me he deserves it for his actions in the original timeline. You know... things like been responsible for sawyers parents deaths, stole Locke's kidney, made him crippled and so on.
So Jack comes back to Locke and mentions their previous meeting in LAX and repeats Locke's words of wisdom and relates them to Locke's father. Once again we hear "whatever happened, happened" muttered by a character. Locke once again refuses to be a Candidate for this new procedure and rolls away from Jack. What does Jack say? "I wish you had believed me." Fook!!
So the Island was where all the Juicy holy fuck stuff happened. It starts off with Jack waking up in the out rigger and is informed by Sayid that Flocke saved him. We find out that Widmore has taken the rest of the Losties to the Polar Bear Cages, luckily Sawyer and Kate didn't get it on in the cages again. Although I half expected Sin and Jun to be humping like rabbits in them after their three years of seperation. Widmore explains he has a list of names and that Kates name isn't on it and he has no problem killing her, and uses this to get them to comply and go into the cages without a fight. They set up a sonar fence aroud the cages and Widmore tells sawyer its for their own good.
I want to take this time to talk about my feelings towards Widmore this season. Originally when he first popped his head out of the water in that sub I figured he was on the Island for his own selfish reasons and didn't care too much for MIB and Jacobs game. However after meeting his crew and Zoe and finding out the Package was Desmond, my opinion on Widmore changed. I feel he's on Jacobs side and has his own role to play. Basically when he's keeping them in cages and say's its for their own good... I beleive him. There are many theorists out there who think that the MIB is good and that he really is trying to help... But I've never been one of them. I've always seen him as the bad guy and I've never trusted him. I never thought I'd say this about Widmore but... I think he's been a good guy all along.
Anyways Sayid disarms the sonar fence and smokey comes along and fucks everybodys shit up, while Jack frees the captive Losties.
Would you like a moustache? (Originally unpublished on 6/5/10)
I try to refrain from a single line of thinking. I don't want to limit myself to living in the present and looking forward to the future. I try to see all around me, the hidden truths that can be learned from the past, the well covered lies of the present and what I can take from my findings and mistakes to improve not just my future but hopefully somebody elses.We as a race have a vast history of knowledge to draw on, to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves... yet we dont. Ever. People never learn from their mistakes or the mistakes of their forefathers. I sorta picked up on this early on in life and I'm thankful for that. It's given me this vast enlightenment early on in life that I don't think many people come to realise until it's too late. I'm not well read so sometimes I find it difficult to explain how I see or understand things, but I do my best. So I might not even get my point across here but I'm certain theres one in here somewhere.
Speaking of learning from the mistakes of the past, how much can we rely on written accounts from people who lived in a far simpler time, long long ago. History is written by the victors as the saying goes. You can take this many ways, such as the losers arent around to write about what happened... etc. But if we take it literallyy, that those in charge can turn a story their way, or have entire blocks of history removed. During the crusades 100s of years of our worlds history was destroyed in librarys burned down that were deemed sacraligious to the reigning religion of the time. Its said this set us back 1000 years in cultural progress and about 500 years in technology due to the knowledge contained in many of these books. It literally threw the world into the Dark Ages.
So how reliable is looking into the past and learning from our mistakes? Well I like to think it's very reliable. Though History has been screwed with, and we're missing a large chunk of it, it would be absurd to believe most of what we know of our past is completely fabricated. If anything it would be more likely that things have been covered up. I'd like the whole world to learn from the past as well as whats presently going on around them and to use thier own reason and logic... and not be impressionable... I'd like a lot of things but that's just never going to happen. As human beings we're failures by design and we'll always continue looking forward.
I'm not even sure what I'm on about anymore. I will escape with some distracting song lyrics before anyone notices! BWAHA!
I have been trying to write
A haiku for you
Some things I just can't do
Maybe you're beyond ancient
Asian poetry
Or maybe it's just me
I have trying to get
This haiku just right
All night for you alright
I'm through!
Maybe this poem was lost
In the sauce we spilled
That never got refilled
I've never thought much
of formulaic verse anyway
End rhymes are not my fort-
I have been trying to get
This haiku just right
All night for you alright
I'm through!
I'm trying not to try to hard
But you're hard to write down right
So I pen these trite attempts
At haikus for you tonight
La da dee diddum
La da daddum doo
Diddle dum doo la deedle
There! That's sufficient.
I wrote a haiku for you
Well I tried at least
And that's not so bad
I'm working here
Can that be said for you?
I'm trying not to try too hard
But you're hard to write down right
So I pen these trite attempts
At haikus for you tonight
Words don't work like Webster says
They trip me up all night
I'm just trying to write for you
But you're hard to write down right
Reach for the skies (Originaly woeful on 19/10/10)
