LOST Season 2: Ep.4 - "Everybody Hates Hugo"

CHARACTER MODE

The title of the episode is very misleading because nobody really does hate Hugo because he prevents it from happening. Even though the episode doesn't show Jack and Locke deciding whether to inform the survivors about the hatch we can get a understanding why they haven't. Well first of all, they don't know if the hatch is going to be safe since considering that huge magnetic pull and how to explain everybody about entering those numbers in order to keep the world alive. So everyone is given a job, some cycle in between to enter the numbers, some are to keep a hush hush and some like Hurley have to keep the food now available, secret. This same exact situation correlates with what happened to Hurley when he won the lottery ticket. He kept his lottery ticket secret because he knew if he came forth everybody would treat him different, they would want something from him and if he doesn't fulfill`s their wishes they would eventually hate him. In the flashback we get to see this secret getting revealed the worst possible way, through his friend who felt betrayed because Hurley never told him. On the island, Hurley close friend, Charlie, starts to react the same way, first asking him for peanut butter which Hurley refuses to give, Charlie storms off. So Hurley decides to use the remaining explosives and blow up the food but Rose intervenes and demands an explanation. After talking him out of it Hurley approaches Jack and tells him that he will give a group of people a piece of food and keep them happy, just like how he decide to do with his winning from the lottery.

STORY MODE

Back on the other side of the island, the captors eventually release Michael, Sawyer and Jin from the whole but only to find out now their prisoners. The captors first clarify that they were also the surviving crew members of Oceanic 815. 23 had survived the crash but only 5 have remained alive. Its not clear why they attacked Jin, Sawyer and Michael, I thought they would be happy to see someone new coming from the ocean. I guess there is something more to it. The captors escort the prisoners to a save house where they meet Bernard, Rose`s husband. Wow, how did Rose know that Bernard would be save and alive, does she have some special powers.

On the other side of the island, Claire finds the bottle that contained all the messages of the crew members wash up the shore. She immediately fears the worse, so her and Shannon approach Sun to decide what to do. I order to keep the hope alive for everybody, Sun decides to bury the bottle.

Lost Season 2: Ep.2 - ¨Adrift¨

Character Mode

Having lost his son, we get to some extent understand what is Michael is going through but from last season we learned that Michael didnt want Walt and he was giving him to his mother to be taken care of. In this episode we found out why Michael had given up on Walt. It seems when Michael got injured in the car accident, his wife comes back from Europe and tells Michael to give away his parental rights to Walt so Brian, her new husband, can get the chance to adopt Walt. Michael obviously cannot allow this to happen so he pursues every legal action to stop his wife but in the end he has to give him away since he is disabled and he wont be able to provide adequate support for Walt and so he loses his connection with Walt. Now that Michael gets a second to take care of Walt he loses him to the ¨others¨. So Michael decides he will do anything to find Walt again no matter what it takes.

Story Mode

Back on the island see how Kate disappeared in the hatch and why Desmond has a gun over Locke´s head. When Locke enters the hatch after Kate slips down, he finds a power circuit with a logo called DHARMA. He pursues further until he finds Kate lying on the floor but as he approaches her Desmond gets him from the back. Desmond first asks if he is the one, not knowing what he was talking about Locke for some reason says yes but Desmond quickly finds out that he is lying and gets Locke to lock Kate up. Just after a loud warning sounds around the corner, and Desmond immediately gets Locke to enter the computer room and enter the same six numbers "4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42" in the computer and the timer starts back to 108 minutes. When Kate gets her self untangled she finds out that she was locked in a room full of food begging to be eaten. She loses herself to a bar of chocolate but stays focused to gets her self out of there through the vent. When she reaches the end she sees Jack and yells for help but Desmond puts on the music as loud as possible and her cry for help doesn't get heard. This is when Desmond pointing the gun at Locke appears and the episode ends the same way it ended previously.

On the ocean, Sawyers gets Michael safe on a raft but Michael is too angry at what happened and he takes his anger on Sawyer. Sawyer feeling abandoned departs on a separate broken raft. As they float suddenly somethings attacks them from the bottom and they find out its a shark. When we get a glimpse of the shark we see the same DHARMA logo on the tail of the shark. Strange. They find another stable raft near by and attempt to get on it but the shark comes after them so Michael takes Sawyer´s gun and kills it. Now safe, the current takes them through the night back to the other side of the island where they encounter Jin running towards them and yelling the ¨others¨. We see four strange, dark looking individuals appear from the jungle.

LOST Season 2: Ep.1 - "Man of Science, Man of Faith"

CHARACTER MODE

From season one we learned that Jack had a hard time letting go of things that either he was directly was involved or things that he had no control at all. In this episode we learn more about Sara who would become Jack's wife in the future. She was involved in a car accident that broke her back entirely leaving only a sight chance of her ever walking again. Jack took it upon him self to fix her but he failed and it became unbearable and the guilt started pouring in. From the flash back we see Jack running on the stares of a stadium because he couldn't fix Sara up. There Jack meets Desmond who tells him that sometimes you just need to believe in miracles. To Jack's surprise, Sara miraculously began to feel her legs again giving Jack a new sense of hope. Maybe this was the hope that Jack believed in when he recovered Charlie back to life.

STORY MODE

Continuing on from the season finale, Jack demands Locke and the crew to return back to the caves since there is no way they can lower the survivors into the hatch. When they finally return, Jack assures everybody that things are going to be okay, giving a sense of hope. Locke too determined to find whats in the hatch leaves defying Jack's orders and so does Kate. When the episode begins we see the man waking up to an alarm, and goes about what a normal man does in the real world until we find out that the man is actually living underneath the hatch. Jack doesn't like the idea the Kate has gone after Locke into the hatch so he runs after them. When he gets into the hatch, he gets cornered by the man who has taken Locke hostage. Jack demands to know whats going on when the man shows himself and its Desmond.

Season One Recap - What happened?

A flight from Sydney on route to L.A. crashes on a island somewhere in the pacific. The flight, Oceanic 815 was carrying an undisclosed number of passengers that splits into three. The middle section carrying approximately 40 or so people lands on the beach and miraculously all survive but the pilot in the cockpit dies and the tail section is no where to be found.

Season one centers around the people that landed on the beach. Main characters that emerge from the crew are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Locke, Charlie, Claire, Michael and Walt, Sun and Jin, Boone and Shannon, and Hurley. At first weeks pass by and nobody shows up leaving the survivors to hunt for themselves, get water and make shelter. To make matters worse a strange monster lurks in the jungle with unstoppable force. The crew decides to send a signal out for help but instead get a french women's transmission that has been playing over and over again for 16 years. Sayid attempts to triangulate the power source of the signal but gets hammered by Locke from behind. Locke who amazingly recovers the strength to his legs becomes quite close to the island and beliefs the crew landed on the island for a greater purpose. Strange things start to happen for example a polar bear appears in the middle of the jungle, Ethan, a mysterious native of the island, kidnaps Claire, and the monster kills the pilot who discloses that the plane was thousands of miles of course when it sent out its distress call meaning the search party are looking at the wrong place.

Michael gets frustrated at waiting and also motivated to get his son Walt rescued builds a raft. Sayid makes contact with Rousseau, the french women of the distress call. Rousseau who appears quite out of it tells Sayid there are "others" on the island and that she had to kill her crew members because a sickness had spread over her crew. Locke with the help of Boone stumble upon a hatch in the woods. Both decide not to tell anybody about it and decide to open it by themselves but fail and Boone unfortunately dies in the process.

Weeks pass by and the raft finally gets completed but unfortunately somebody burns it down. Initially Michael blames it on Jin, Sun's husband, a Korean couple who don't speak English. Michael even goes far as to fight Jin to death when Sun comes out of no where and yells "STOP". Apparently Sun does speak English. When the saboteur is revealed, its a surprise to everyone when they find out it was actually Walt. That doesn't stop Michael he begins to build another one. When it gets completed, Rousseau appears out of the woods to warn everybody that the "others" are coming. Michael, Walt, Jin and Sawyer launch the raft and set off to get rescued. Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Locke with the help of Rousseau adventure off to find explosives to open the hatch in order to hide. Sayid and the rest of the crew run to the caves.

In the final episode, Michael and the crew do find another boat but regrettably not to be rescued. They shoot Sawyer, take away Walt with then and blow the raft into peaces. On the island Jack and the crew locate the explosives in a abandoned 18Th century boat. Hurley stops Locke from blowing the hatch up when he finds out that the hatch displays numbers that have plagued Hurley with bad luck and curses but Locke blows it up anyway. On the other side of the island, Rousseau after leaving Jack comes back to rest of Sayid's crew and distracts them in order to take away Claire's baby. Sayid and Charlie run after her and when they finally reach her she comes out crying whispering "they said they would come for the boy". Sayid and Charlie safey return Aaron back to Claire. Rousseau believed she could trade Clarie's baby for Alex which the "others" took 16 years ago.

Jack persistent hangs on and gets Kate to throw a dynamite which eventually scares off the monster. Jack confused approaches Locke regarding his suicide attempt and Locke clearly lays out that he is a man of believe while Jack is a man of science and the island brought them for a greater purpose.

while on Michael's raft, Sawyer is anxious about getting a signal of a near by ship. after looking the radar picks up a signal and tells Michael to shot the flare to get their attention. Michael at first hesitant fires the flare and the dot on radar suddenly starts to move towards the raft. a boat from the distance appears and shoots off its lights on the raft. everyone is glad to see their rescue when one of the guys from the boats asks for Walt only. sensing something isn't right, Sawyer attempts to aim his gun but is too slow and gets shot and falls of the raft.

SYNOPSIS - up till now the goal of the crew was to get off the island and it does happen with Michael's raft finally finished and on the ocean. while Michael gets help the rest of the crew have to deal with a new problem, the "others". for the most part, Rousseau has kept her self isolated from the rest of the crew and the "others" but for some reason she decides to come in and introduce her self to everybody with a warning about the "others". apparently when a black smoke appears from the horizon the "others" will come, just like how they did when she landed on the island 16 years ago. the crew has three choices, hide, run or die. at first nobody gives her any attention until the smoke actually appears. since it is impossible to move all 40 people, and dieing ain't a option, hiding is the only choice left but where? Jack and Locke know exactly, the hatch but so far nobody knows how to open the hatch and how can they open with no handle. thanks to Rousseau, she guides them to the "Black Rock" a stranded 18th century boat in the middle of the jungle which supposedly plenty of dynamite is enclosed.

Jin feeling bad comes out with tears and apologizes telling her that this island is a punishment for what he did to her before.
• we see Sawyer in a police station getting bad cop treatment for what he did to a very important person to the Australian government. apparently its the second time Sawyer has visited the police station and the cops decided he isn't worth the money and time to prosecute so they deport him back to American on the Oceanic flight 815.
• we Shannon waiting in the airport when Sayid comes in the picture and asks if she could watch his back for a minute and she just ignores him. its funny how their relationship on the island turned out. in the airport Shannon gets pissed at Boone and in return tells one of the security guards about a Arab guy leaving a bag in the lobby.

LOST Season 1: Ep.22 - "Born to Run"

Images from abc.com

SYNOPSIS - who was the man that Kate loved but also the one who she apparently killed? and why is Kate always on the run?

when we had figured out who the miniature plane belonged to most of us were quite confused because the person is belong to was Kate's love but she was also responsible for his death. from the flashbacks we learn his name was Tom, a surgeon and Kate's childhood friend. Tom and Kate were quite close as kids and to show for it they had recorded a time capsule with other memorabilia's including Tom favourite the miniature plane. in the recording Tom had hoped that the both of them would one day open the time capsule together because they would be married but Kate wanted them to run as far as possible, a recurring suggestion as Tom reminds her. it looks like Tom's hope of getting married were fulfilled but with someone else and Kate's hope of running way is symbolized her traveling with a car full of different licence plates.

we don't quite really know yet why Kate is on the run but we get a idea of how she is surviving. she would pick up letters with a alias name filled with cash and we don't know quite where its coming from. from this flash black we learn that it includes a letter which we later find out says that her mother is dying of cancer. so Kate uses Tom's connection to get one-on-one with her mom but when she actually confronts her mother, she yells as hard she could for help. I wonder why? well the police find out about her, Kate tries to escape with Tom's car but Tom jumps along with her and when she tries to evade the cops, bullets fly and they eventually hit Tom instead. Kate is heartbroken with what just happened, confused and scared of the cops she runs away.

CHARACTERS

• realizing that the raft is finished and Michael has decided to leave soon, Sun approaches Jin and pleads him not to leave. desperate not to let him leave and her love for him, Sun asks Kate to poison Jin's water bottle so that he would get sick and risk leaving the island. unfortunately the contaminated bottles reach Michael instead. Jacks later finds out and confronts Sun and suggests her that she better say goodbye before its too late.
• we get introduced to a new character called Dr. Arzt, a high school teacher who tells Michael to leave asap if he wants to take advantage of the wind.
• on the island everyone finds out that Kate was a fugitive being escorted by the injured marshal thanks to Sawyer who believed Kate was trying to snatch his spot from the raft. when Kate admits her past to everyone, Michael dismisses any chance her coming on the raft. when Jack asked Kate in front of his face if she poisoned the bottles, she gets offended and ask if Jack thinks she is capable of such a act and Jack responds he doesn't know what she is capable of. by the end of the episode Kate becomes the outcast of the crew diverting the attention from Locke.
• speaking of Locke, asks Sayid to bring Jack to the hatch. when they all examine it, Jask asks how they should open it but Sayid disapproves and asks the hatch isn't meant to be opened since there aren't any handles. this could a sign of Locke's weakness, realizing that he cant open the hatch by himself and that he caused Boone's death making him the outcast. also when Walt approaches Locke to confess that he didn't poison the water bottles, Locke comforts him that he doesn't blame him. when Locke holds Walt's hand, suddenly Walt yells "Don't open it" probably referring to the hatch.
• when Walt realizes that his father is sick he comes out clean about him burning the first raft. Michael confused decides that maybe he should listen to his son and stay on the island. Walt for some reason changes his mind and says no they should go. Michael is awed by how confident Walt feels about leaving. how does Walt know about the hatch? and how he is so confident about leaving the island?

• Shannon feeling a great sense of grieve asks Sayid to do something about Locke killing her brother. in order to please her Sayid confronts Locke and gets to locate the beachcraft which Sayid finds out was actually there. he also finds out that Locke was the one who attacked him from behind when he was trying to triangulate Rousseau's power source but does nothing to hurt Locke. when he returns Shannon isn't pleased about the lack of Sayid efforts to avenge her brother so she takes it on her own by taking Jack's keys to locate the gun briefcase. I don't know how she figured out the whereabouts of the breifcase. my best guess would be from Sayid. or maybe from Boone who find out from Locke when Jack showed him game changer. as a result she gets Locke on 'hands up' position when Sayid figures out what happened to the key and jumps on her and diverting the bullet just enough that it barely scratches Locke's forehead and further more loses Shannon for good. Sayid angry at Locke demands where the hatch is and Locke has no choice but to show him.
• Jack furious about why Locke lied to him which misguided him in his evaluation on Boone's injuries. so it looks like Jack still has a hard time letting things go. he comes out and tells everybody that Locke lied which in essence divides the group into now between Locke and the rest of the crew.
• ever sense Jin and Sun have broken up, Sun has done more to gain the trust of the crew than they were together. although Jin's lack of English skills he has also gained trust from Michael through his dedication to build the raft.
• the bond between Charlie and Claire further grow when Charlie volunteers to take care of "tranapid" (the new born baby). he had a hard time getting the baby to sleep until Sawyer walks by complaing about baby's noise and suddenly the baby quiets.

LOST Season 1: Ep.20 - "Do No Harm"

Images from abc.com

SYNOPSIS - when we first saw Jack's father, Christian sitting in a room cross legged telling Jack that he can never let things go, well in this episode Jack finally learns how to let go but only for a little bit. it begins with Jack helping to restore Boone's health just as he did with Charlie. With Charlie it actually worked but this time Boone isn't that lucky because he had lost too much blood and his leg was fractured so first Jack tries to transfer his blood which doesn't help. As Boone passes away, Boone becomes conscious and tells Jack that it was the plane that fell on him and that he wasn't supposed to tell anybody about the hatch. Jack gets confused but he doesn't care what happened, right now he is still hard working trying to get Boone back to live so he decides to amputate his leg. if every doctor in the world behaved like Jack the world would be more populated but there aren't that many. this is because as we learn from the flashbacks that Jack has a hard time letting go. Sara the girl who would become Jack's wife was actually his patient. Sara had been in a car accident which left her back broken and unfixable. but Jack would not accept such a fate and he actually fixed her. after he would become in love and marry her. if he went through so much with her why couldn't he write their vowels. this is because as Jack realizes that it wasn't him that fixed Sara but the other way around. as this occurs to Jack, back on the island Boone asks Jack to let him go and Jack finally stops his operation and lets go. as the episode is about to end, instead of coming into acceptance that he did his best to save Boone he blames Boone's death on Locke who he thinks murdered him.

I suspect that there is something powerful and majestic about the island but it also has to do with the crew`s personal life that shapes how they view these miracles and interpret them to fit their needs. Locke obviously views the island as a place where he has gotten a second chance and he is meant to be here just like how he thought he was meant perform the"Walkabout" in Australia. whatever he thinks he is supposed to do didn't really go well when Boone got injured. without giving much attention to Boone`s health Locke returns to the hatch wondering why whatever he dreamed didn't work until a bright light appears from the window of the hatch.

LOST Season 1: Ep.18 - "Numbers"

Images from abc.com

SYNOPSIS - its surprises me that Hurley's story doesn't get introduced till episode 18 when most of the crew got two full episodes already. I guess Hurley's story was designed to cross over what was actually happening on the island. also Hurley is probably, other than Locke, who is connected with the island in a huge way. Rousseau map drawing and scrambled writing which Sayid possessed revealed a set of six numbers "4,8,15,16,23 and 42". as we find out these six numbers were actually the lottery numbers of a jackpot worth $157 mill that Hurley won back in America. after winning the jackpot a series of strange things started happening to everybody around Hurley. first his grandfather 'Tito' gets a heart attack and during his funeral a thunder strikes and kills the priest with it. then Hurley decides to surprise his mother to a new house but when he gets there his mother's ankle gets broken, house gets into fire and he gets arrested in front of his house. talk about back luck. Hurley doesn't believe this is just matter of luck but more about curses. after digging further he figures out that the numbers he used to win the lottery actually came from a nut house which Hurley was admitted once (Q - why was Hurley in a nut house). His crazy friend Leonard used to repeat the same six set of number over and over again and when Hurley got out he used the numbers. after telling Leonard of what Hurley had done, Leonard starts to go even crazier and denounces what Hurley did. so Hurley further investigates and finds out Leonard's friend who lives in Australia. when he arrives in Australia he finds out that Leonard's friend killed himself four years ago. well him and Leonard used to work for the Navy and had a post in the pacific. one day they heard a radio call repeating the same six set of number over and over. so Leonard's friend used these numbers once and got rich and right after began to experience the same curse Hurley is going through.

back on the island Hurley uses the excuse of looking for Rousseau to get the battery so he can figure out how she got those numbers. when he finds her she reveals that she had intercepted the same set of number and decided to investigate when their boat crashed and landed on this island. they set to investigate further when they found out a radio tower but her crew got the sickness and died. so in someways the same number also destroyed her life too and Hurley feels a sense of acknowledgement of what he had been going through for the past several years. when the episode is about to end, the camera starts to zoom into the hatch Locke and Boone have been working on and when it gets close the same six numbers are revealed.

CHARACTERS

• Locke always finds a way of making people happy or in someways change their thinking forever. in this episode he gets Claire to help him with something and get her to talking again. when he finally completes whatever he was making, it became clear to Claire that he was making a cradle for her baby. maybe Locke did to get some info about the others or maybe he just did it so Claire can feel home again.
• Charlie and Hurley get close to each other when Charlie comes out and tells Hurley about his biggest secret in order to learn more about Hurley. when Hurley tells him that he is worth $157 million back home, Charlie dismisses him and walks away thinking Hurley is pulling his leg.
• Michael and Jin seem to get to know each other more after working on the boat. there hopes of finding a ship near by is made possible with the battery Hurley got from Rousseau. well see if the plan actually goes through.

LOST Season 1: Ep.17 - "In Translation"

Images from abc.com

SNYOPSIS - the mysterious couple of the island, Jin and Sun gets a little less mysterious in this episode. from the flashbacks we learn more about Sun's father who could be the number one reason why Jin and Sun relationship is so dysfunctional. from the previous episode when we saw Sun approaching Jin and telling her about how her father allowed them to get married, well we learn how Jin really pulled it off. Sun's father told Jin that if he wants to marry his daughter he must work for him and of course Jin accepts and that's when the trouble starts. over the course of several years Jin's work becomes more intense and it becomes a burden on their relationship. from the previous episode when we saw Jin rushing in and washing the blood of his hands well that night Sun's father had requested Jin to deliver a harsh message to one of the governmental agencies responsible for closing his factory down. that night Sun realizes what kind of man Jin had become and that love between them finally turned into hatred. Jin realizes that something has to change before his marriage is done so he visits his so called 'dead' father who actually is alive. Jin made him dead because he felt ashamed of his father being a fisherman. Jin describes to his father that he is caught between Sun's father and their relationship. if he tells Sun of what her father does she would leave him and if he doesn't do what Sun father commands of him he would lose her forever. his father says its not too late to start over. Jin decides to start a new life in American after he delivers a watch to Sun's father associates in Sydney.

one thing I dont understand is why wont Jin start over on the island even when there is no way Sun's father can get to them and they don't have to worry about disgracing their family name. we will have to see what is really bothering Jin.

CHARACTERS

• due to Jin's outsider attitude Sun finally comes out with her secret and shocks everybody about her speaking English. we see Michael and Jin confront each other after all those weeks of boiling tension until Locke interferes the fight by reminding everybody that they are not alone on the island and the crew should fighting each other.
• Michael finally gets the raft finished and is really glad to get his son to New York but Walt doesn't seem too pleased. we find out that it was actually Walt who burned the raft because he was sick of moving places and he liked it on the island. so why doesn't he tell his father?
• the relationship between Sayid and Shannon goes haywire when Boone tells Sayid that Shannon likes old men and once she gets what she wants she will move on.
