Hey, everyone. No, this isn't a full recap (that would take entirely too much of my unpaid time), but merely a brainfart or two to get some discussion going on this week's episode of 'Lost'. It might be only with myself, but for now, that's just fine. Alright, here we go. More 'Lost' after the jump...

Oy gevalt. I'm spent. If anyone out there is hoping for a full-length movie after Lost is over and done with, I'm fairly certain that if it happens, Thursday night's finale "There's No Place Like Home" would be what it would turn out like. It's funny how often this show successfully manages to completely redirect itself and still come out more intriguing than ever. Just when you think you think you might know what's going to happen, BAM! The island gets moved. No, seriously. The damn thing MOVED, and that fact alone to me is quite representative of what Lost manages to pull off season after season. You think you know what you have and where you are and what you're going to need to get yourself out of it (or back into it, as the case may be), and then along comes a frozen donkey wheel that dumps you right back at square one again. No passing Go, no $200, and still no damn answer what that giant foot is or where the food drop came from. Did anyone honestly think that's who was going to be in the coffin? Or that Ben would be doing what he did down in that, um, place? Enough of my shadowy non-answers, though - the show gave us more than enough of those on its own to go around. Let's get Lost after the jump.

Well, one down, two to go, I guess. Tonight's installment of 'No Place Like Home' marked the first of the three-part Season 4 finale, and as sad as I will be to see it go away again in two weeks (thanks a lot, Grey's Anatomy!), I can't even imagine what's in store for us in Seasons 5 and 6. Okay, think back a season or two, and tell me you ever expected us to be where we are right now. Ben's a globetrotting super-badass who can leap through time and space. The island is about to be "moved". Sayid is now Ben's personal assassin. The world thinks that Aaron is Kate's son, Hurley has morphed into Leonard Simms, six of the castaways have been rescued, and the Ewoks are about to attack the Stormtroopers in the Orchid Temple of Doom! Remember when all we really wanted to know was what the hell the monster was? Oh, that's right - we still do. Let's get Lost after the jump...

Well, my long-awaited John Locke episode wasn't quite what I had in mind, but on the other hand, it certainly was very, um... John Locke, wasn't it? Eye close-ups! Dream sequences! Flashbacks where he has hair! Wait... flashbacks? Yes, for the first time in a while, we got nothing from the future at all, and what's more, we saw John at various ages in his life. I'm not sure we've seen that since Charlie jumped in the pool and watched his dad carve up dolls' heads on Christmas morning. Anyway, I've still got my fingers crossed that we see what happens to John in the near future in the three-part finale that starts next week, but until then, I guess I'll just have to make due with little John starring in remade scenes from 'Pulp Fiction'. Don't choose the gold watch, John! Do you have any idea where it's been? Eeeeew! Let's get Lost after the jump...

Okay, show of hands - how many of you out there thought sure that Jack was going to find Bobby Ewing in his shower at the beginning of the episode? Patrick Duffy, I have no idea if you're still alive, sir, but if you are, I hope like hell that that scene gave you a nice little flashback of your own. If there is any kind of goodness left in the world, you are on the phone right now trying as hard as you can to make that an extra on the Season 4 DVD. Let's get Lost after the jump...

Aaaaaaand... we're back. Boy, are we ever. Was that Lost I watched the other night, or an old rerun of The A-Team? Ben Linus as Hannibal Smith! Sawyer as Face! Frank Lapidus as Murdock! Mr. Eko's corpse as BA Baracus! Anyway, our favorite show is back with a vengeance for the next... um, however many more weeks it is, and with how much asskickery we got in the masterful Brian K. Vaughan/Drew Goddard-penned "The Shape of Things To Come", well, I really hope that that title holds true. Let's get Lost after the jump...

As Lost fans, we should be used to seeing our favorite show go away for long periods of time, but man, I don't WANT to wait a month to find out what the hell happens next. I want to know who's still alive, I want to know what happens next to Michael, and most of all, dammit, I want to see that freakin' Temple. How cool is that place going to be? Any guesses on what it is? We still haven't seen the Orchid station, so could that play a role in it? Or maybe it's where Ben's fabled 'mystery box' is. Or have we seen that already? 'Meet Kevin Johnson' had some answers for us (and some more questions, too), so let's get to talkin', shall we? Grab a little something to nosh from Tom's fruit plate (sorry) and come on in. Let's get Lost after the jump...

So yeah, I'm sure we've all figured out by now that Ben's man on the boat is the exiled castaway/traitor named Michael. A few questions remain, though - how did he get there? Why did he stick around? What's Ben got to do, got to do, got to do with it? If Michael is there, where is Walt, and how did he get so damn big? Well, tonight's episode 'Ji Yeon' just scratches the surface on answering those questions, and, of course, poses a few more. Lots of theories/thoughts on just what in the hell is going on with the Widmore freighter-turned-zombie boat, who exactly those 324 bodies that turned up on the recovered wreckage of Flight 815 used to belong to, and who the newest member of the Oceanic 6 is are just a click away. Oh, and I also need to wish my niece Sarah a happy 4th. May this be the first of many Numbered birthdays, my dear. On that note, let's get Lost after the jump...
