OK, done classes, officially a senior, Wales was cool--NO ONE CARES; BECAUSE HOLY SHIT LOST.

I was a non-believer. Shun the non-believer!! But I really didn't think Jacob was a real person. I thought it was gonna be some sort of man-behind-the-curtain fake-out (except, like, no man). I thought he was just an idea and they wanted to see who'd just follow orders from no one and all that--but I was wrong. And of all the many, many assorted things I've thought Jacob could be over the years, one thing I never considered was..."hot." But he is! He's all scruffy and he can dress and he's kind of alluring and he's down with the languages...OH, HELL, I'M BEING ASSIMILATED.

EDIT: Oh, shit, now I know where I knew him from: he was Dick in Capote. Ew, no! I don't want to like him! Now I'm confused. *cries*

AAAHHHHH WHAT? FAKE!LOCKE?! So that was the dude from the beginning! All along! I think! Because he "found a loophole"! I think maybe that was Smokey, because we've already seen Smokey be Alex, haven't we? Or that dude (the guy from Gone Baby Gone) can just...be anyone? That doesn't seem right, that there's just one super-fancy guy we've never met before who has ~powers~. That feels like cheating. I think maybe that dude = Smokey = the island's...essence or whatever, and Jacob and the island are actually enemies. All this time we've thought they were BFFs, but they're enemies! Awesome, y/y?

Jacob was eating a red herring at the beginning (thanks, joie_de_vivre). This is inescapably awesome. \o/

SO WAIT, WHO DIED?! It was really looking like Sayid there for a while, but cracka please, he can't die. And then Juliet got that horrible, sad scene (how did the chains get around her waist?! What was that???) and that broke my heart because while I've never really been on board with the ship (it had too much of a "love the one you're with" vibe to me), Sawyer clearly loves the hell out of her and that was just fucking tragic. But then...alive! But...bomb!!! (The most suspenseful moment in "Lost" history, and all I could think was "The minute his head comes into view, HIT IT WITH THE ROCK!") Fuck!

One of my favorite moments: Miles yelling "Dad!" and rushing to help Pierre/Marvin/whatever. Aww! I guess that's why he has a fake hand in the other videos...BUT WAIT! That means he makes other videos! So The Incident still happened and everybody didn't die! Or...maybe just some of them died. GAH, I DON'T KNOW.

My Latin skills are negligible at best, so thanks again, Lostpedia: Richard says "He who will protect/save us all" is what 'lies in the shadow of the statue.' SHYEAH, RIGHT. He'll just stand around with his loom and get stabbed. And barbecued!! Why, Locke?! Why are you such a fail?! At least get some more answers out of him first! I mean, I know Ben stabbed him first, and that was a kind of awesome speech, but FIRE?! COME ON! And did that really legit kill him? Because he seems sort of...immortal, ish. Or unaging. And how'd he do that to Richard?! Did Jacob, um, take Richard's "innocence" the way Richard took Ben's? Oh, this is just uncomfortable.

LOVED hotJacob being in everyone's lives. That is just superbly excellent. And he ~touched~ them all. So he kind of 'marked' everyone...did he come to them because they were going to the island eventually, or did they all go to the island eventually because he visited them? QUANDRY! I couldn't stop laughing at the thing with Locke--he was clearly expecting it, so he just sort of calmly put his bookmark back and strolled on over...hee. Locke's misery always amuses me, though. Also loved the shout-out to the pilot with Jack and the "time out" (that made me LOL too). And it's always nice to see Christian. And move over, Izzie and Alex, because Sun and Jin had the prettiest wedding I've seen all season. I totally made fun of Jin for having to write down his one-sentence vow, but he's still brain-bogglingly hot.

...WAIT A MINUTE! Jacob helped everybody except Sayid! He distracted him so Nadia could get hit by a fucking car! What was that?! God! He really can't ever be happy! I don't think he saved him from getting hit, I think he made it so she would. GAH!

No Claire, though? I was hoping she'd show up. And yeah, she'll land in L.A., but she'll give the baby up and the psychic said that was bad! Y'know, I thought Jack was onto something for a bit, but really, as much as everyone's lives sucked post-crash, they sucked just as much, if not more, pre-crash. At least if the plane crashes they get to meet some cool people and do it in cages and stuff. Shoot.

ROSE AND BERNARD!!! HIPPIE!ROSE AND BERNARD! AND VINCENT! ♥ Utterly, fully awesome! They seemed so happy together; that was wonderful. I love how they just had enough of their shenanigans and did their own thing. Adorable. They're gonna be pissed when they're back on 815 and Rose still has cancer...I mean, they won't be because they won't know...gah.

Totally lost the Jears pool. I called 18 minutes in, and we didn't have any! What the hell! And he actually held his own really well during that (extremely overdue) smackdown with Sawyer. Respeck, Doc. And I'm rather delighted Phil got shanked; I always hated him and his stupid squinchy face.

FUCK, I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL FEBRUARY. I JUST CAN'T. DON'T MAKE ME, PLEASE. D: D: D: D:

...Real entry coming, you know, later.
