LOST: Coming Together Just To Fall Apart

By



Sure, some things have gotten sloppy to the point of frustrating. Still one of LOST's best moments is when the previously separated group reunites. Unfortunately, the show's best moments have also been events that break them apart. While X-Desmond works his magic to bring the various ex-passengers together, on the Island the gang gets together just in time to split up. For the most part, things we've learned or known are finally revealed to our characters, and in true fashion, their reaction is either cut for another scene (Jack and Claire on the Island) or interrupted (Jack and Claire in the X-World).

DISCOVERIES
  1. Smokey confirms that he was posing as Jack's dad, and reveals that he can only take the shape of the dead (and maybe just the dead people who are on the Island).
  2. Widmore brought some heavy artillery to deal with Smokey.
  3. We learn Ilana's last name (via the X-World).
  4. Smokey promised to reunite Sayid with Nadia is he submits.

OBSERVATIONS
  1. Jack jumping out of the Elizabeth mirrors Sawyer jumping out of the helicopter in Season 3. Both times, the "jumper" left a vehicle going somewhere to get the group to safety and ended up swimming back to the Island. Also explosions were involved (in Season 3, it was the Freighter blowing up, here it was Widmore's attack).
  2. Sawyer seems to have adopted Jack's former role as the skeptic who just wants to leave the Island (previously he was more or less the group's opportunist). Jack has seemed to adopt Locke's role of the believer.
  3. Smokey seems to have a real aversion to technology.

QUESTIONS
  1. The promo commercial suggests that Sayid shoots (and kills) Desmond. But in the actual episode, there's nothing definitive: did Sayid kill Desmond?
  2. Why did Smokey want Desmond dead? Why didn't he kill Desmond himself?
  3. Does Claire still want Kate dead?
  4. If Widmore needed Desmond, why did he order the attack on Smokey's camp?
  5. Was Smokey posing as Christian Shephard every time we saw the character on the Island?

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
