"LOST" aired last night with the first in the season finale three-parter titled: "There's No Place Like Home"

..One quick sidenote before I begin...the title is obviously referring to "The Wizard of Oz" where Dorothy chants that phrase THREE times (ahem, a THREE part finale) & wakes up from her DREAM about being in Oz. Probably totally irrelevant to the plot...but I'm just pointing it out....

Continue Flashing Back or Forward - whatever...

    I was shocked & thrilled by this episode because even though the majority of the content of any season of "Lost" is just raising more questions & bashing more answers that we THOUGHT we had their season...we always get so many answers in the finales!!!! :)

    Once again, it is far too difficult to truly dissect an episode so here I go...if you feel like these reactions would be something you'd be into then definitely watch this show...

    1.Ok...the Oceanic 6 are on a plane. Landing in Hawaii....their friends & family are there!!!! Everyone is so happy!!! Shock! Why isn't Kate's mom there? That woman is such a beast. Poor Sayid, had no friend or family so Hurley introduced him to his which I thought was ADORABLE.

    2. Island: WHY does Jack deem it necessary to not let ANYONE else do anything on the island?? He is freaking BLEEDING from his stomach surgery with the appendix thing & still insists on going on a manhunt through the island. Ugh.

    3. Press Conference...
    Everyone is telling their part of the story & thankfully they addressed questions we've been having for months....Kate would have been 6 months pregnant with Aaron when she was picked up by the marshal for murder AND they asked if there were any survivors on the island. We know the answers to both of those questions. DDRRRRAAAMMMMAAAAAA.

    AND AND AND...NADIA!!!! Nadia has arrived for Sayid!!!!!

    4. Island!
    -Sayid has returned on his little motor raft from the freighter!! (Is it terrible that the entire time he was on it I just kept having flashbacks to the terrorist kid in "Syriana" who did the same thing in the movie only he took the motor raft TOWARDS the freighter? With a bomb on it?)

    -Oh...and back to Ben, Locke, & Hurley...(wow, an episode where the entire cast of "Lost" is featured...). Ben grabs a mirror from under a rock & starts communicating with (in his words) "WHO DO YOU THINK!?" To which I wanted to sarcastically reply, "I don't KNOW Ben. I mean you give us so many other answers all of the other times I honestly don't KNOW who you're referring to this one time."

    5. Sun!
    -Aw, Sun. Cut to the future....Sun is back in Korea...really pregnant & stalking the corridors of her father's office. She tells him that with the Oceanic 6 settlement she bought a huge portion of her father's company & now has much of the control & now HE has to respect HER. She knew that he always hated Jin & says that two people are responsible for his death....1) Her father. 2) SHE DOESN'T SAY....I'm guessing Ben...or Charles Widmore...either way people, Sun is the new Moon! Or...Bitch is the new Mafia Pawn!!

    6. Hurley!
    -He has a birthday party where Kate & Jack & Sayid & Nadia are all in attendance...and then Hurley's father gives him his restored car AND...the mileage is set to the numbers. CREEPY.

    7. Island!
    -Sun, Aaron, Jin, & a bunch of others are loaded onto the motor raft to go back to the freighter!...where we learn there is a bomb on board...and Michael sees Sun & Jin...and it's really awkward.

    8. But more importantly...Jack's father's funeral...where he meets Claire's mother...who tells him that he had a sister...on the plane with him..named Claire. I've gotta say that Matthew Fox's reaction to her telling him that was damn good acting.

    9. What?! The Others?! I've never been so happy to see you Others!!!

    10. Ben just surrendered himself....

    OK. OK. OK.

    So much happened....here is the status of everyone IN PRESENT DAY on the island:

    Kate, Sayid, Jack, Sawyer:
    -With The Others. We don't know where they're going.

    Claire:
    -Missing. Not confirmed dead.

    Jin, Sun, Michael, Desmond, Aaron:
    -On the freighter being badass.

    Locke & Hurley:
    -The jungle getting ready to sabotage the Orchid.

    Ben:
    -Surrendered to the evil freighter man.

    Juliet, Bernard, Rose & other people we've managed to forget about?:
    -The beach.

    The 2 HOUR season finale airs on May 29th!!!!!!!

    What about you? What did you think?
