LOST 6x04

WOW!

This weeks episode was a solid return to form after last weeks angst filled Kate loves Jack, Kate loves Sawyer, Kate acts in baffling and confusing ways that make the audience wonder how she managed to evade the U.S Marshals for as long as she did in the first place extravaganza.

Awesome moments of the week: The look of abject terror on Richard's face when he is trying to get Sawyer to come back to the temple with him before Locke/Smokey returns, the scale in the cave, "It's an inside joke," "That was after my time,", "That was the strangest funeral I've ever been to," "He's looking for a candidate," "You know you can't kill him," "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO!"

Most awesome moment of the week: The writing on the wall! Not only the most awesome moment of the week, but one of the best moments in the shows history, and probably the biggest reveal to date.

Least awesome moments of the week: Everything that took place in the alternate timeline Los Angeles. These scenes really don't seem to be amounting to anything other than showing that all of these characters have destinies that are inexorably and unavoidably linked. I'm sure that it's all building towards something, I just wish that it would hurry up and get there so that we can spend more time following the story proper.

I know that I'll be spending the next three months in a constant state of anticipation and anxiety between episodes, over analyzing every little detail. I kind of want to follow in the footsteps of Eric Cartman from South Park, when he froze himself in the snow in order to avoid having to wait for the release of the Nintendo Wii. That solution had terrible results for him though, he remained frozen for much too long and had to deal with a bunch of Atheistic Otters bent on world domination.

So I suppose that, just like everyone else, I will have to remain patient. 

5 / 5 on the Awesome Meter
