Lost - Confirmed Dead


This was a great addition into the mythology of the series, and the whole big reveal that everyone thinks that Oceanic Flight 815 has been found and that there are no survivors was not that much of shock, but a trip none the less. Things are playing out at a nice pace (I guess having a definitive amount of episodes left to play things out) and in only 2 episodes we had some nice twists with the storyline and another creepy appearance by the new freaky character Abbadon.... yikes!

I have to note that I was ecstatic to see more of Vincent in this episode and still wish that they do an episode from his perspective, that dog has seen and done quite a bit of stuff...

It goes to show how far things are playing out and the influence and control that Dharma (or some other force) is holding over the Island and its inhabitants.While I always have a ton of apprehension anytime there are new characters added into the equation that we call Lost (and know that it doesn't always work out that well as most of the "Tailies" learned the hard way), characters like Juliet have added more and interesting dimensions to the storyline.

I can see how these new additions can enrich a story and give even more impact to the events that happen. Our not-so-Fantastic Four that have just arrived include:
-Daniel who is some kind of neurotic scientist and has some kind of a connection to Oceanic Flight 815 that we don't really know about yet;
-Miles who is some kind of ghost whispering psychic for hire/con man character
-Charlotte, the perky anthropologist who found a polar bear skeleton with a Dharma collar in Tunisia (huh??)
and finally our pilot with a drinking problem, -Frank, who knows that the news footage about Flight 815 is false and he was supposed to be the pilot of that particular flight.....

It's a complete and utterly glorious mindfrack of a situation that gets even better when you learn that:

- We have an interesting flashback with Naomi and see her get put together the not-so-Fantastic Four who are there to find Ben and even have his photo...

-Surprise! Surprise ! Ben knows all about them... and even says he has someone on their boat.....

.....3 guesses says it's Michael.... it might explain where he has been all this time.... does that mean that Tall Walt Ghost has been on the Island the whole time? So many questions... so few episodes...
