Ruby slippers anyone? at iconogeek

So the latest episode of LOST, “No place like home, pt1″ was quite excellent. But I’m not here to talk about the show so much as I am about the writers. We see the Oceanic 6 get off the island. I mean really get off the island.

So what?

That’s right, I said it. But not how you think. I say “So What?” because the storytelling on this show is so amazing, that I now don’t care about them getting off the island. I’ve known they get off the island since last season, but that is now NOT the focus. The writers have deftly switched us to care more about them getting BACK to the island.

The island has now become a living breathing character on the show (to be fair, I don’t think it actually breathes - live yes, breath no). I know want to see why the six got off the island and why it’s only them. Where’s Jin? What’s up with Swayer? Is the island OK? etc.

Some highlights:

Keemey is sooo gonna regret “capturing” Ben
LOVED the return of the numbers on the camaro’s odometer. LOVED it.
Jack’s revelation about Aaron and Clair
Sun kicks ass - to stand up to her Dad like that, awesome. BTW Jin isn’t dead, it’s still a front. There is a VERY good reason why they can’t tell anyone about the other passenger’s. A reason yet to be revealed.
Richard and the Others are back, excellent!
More Dharma!

OK, tha’s all for now.
