(FIX) LOSTies with Jed & Cara : Episode 54 "The Package" Initial Reaction
*WARNING* Jed and Cara did not have a positive view of the Jin & Sun centric "The Package." As a matter of fact, the words "lame" and "worst of the year" are tossed around throughout our initial reaction. Watch at your own risk. Oh, and Sun takes her top off - ya know, for the masses!

My favorite part of this episode now actually comes via your interpretation. Your musical enhancement of the unbutton scene made it ten times better than it was last night! ;)
ReplyDeleteActually I gave this ep a low B (8 out of 10). I think the Jin infertility/but now Sun is pregnant thing was interesting, because I think that if Jin and Sun have been together without (or actually with as we learn) there is no other man in her life - thus the island made his infertility happen.
I also like having Zoe around - I think her scientific quest (as the way she is asking Jin questions) will be a possible sidebar for some other answers (like Faraday in S4). The scene of Jin looking at the pictures of Ji Yeon was touching. I hadn't really put 2 and 2 together on the room 23 , but with the video obviously referring to Jacob - this means that is a standard (probably Ben authorized) others brain washing technique (The D I wouldn't have a video about Jacob) - so I thought that was cool.
"Cease to be" - that is the key line of the ep without a doubt - I think you are right that it may mean that X timeline is a result of MIB leaving - but it still serves the purpose of showing the characters for who they truly are at their core as well.
Another thought about Locke's speech to Claire - he needs the candidates to leave with him because the only way he can leave is if there is no one left to replace Jacob - but it would seem he can't just kill the candidates either. Hence the boy's "You can't kill them" from the Substitute.
K- that's all I got. Understand your frustration but I guess I just enjoyed the ep a little more than you (not much - but a little)

Lol, why isn't Color Me Bad on your playlist???
ReplyDeleteI liked the episode, I rate it above "What Kate Does" and "Recon". "What Kate Does" is the worst for me. I think Jack said that he will help Sun & Jin get off the island not him.
ReplyDeleteJust listed to Donald's latest. Ouch, Jed. I at least had the advantage of seeing that it was 4/1 when it was posted, so I knew it would be an April Fool's jok.
ReplyDeleteMatt - great notes. Quick comments:
ReplyDeleteThe Sun prego confuses me - is the point like you said (Island caused Jin infertility) or is Sun cheating? This answer would have said more in this ep than what did occur.
Zoe - yeah, at this point I am not sure how beneficial that will be. She can answer some questions... but she seems more like fodder for smokie.
Cease to be was the line of the ep - if indeed the FS shows life with MIB freed - then what do we make of that world?
This whole candidate thing and who smokie can and can't kill is confusing - Eko was not a candidate? He felt very important!!
Thanks Matt
Don - added the tune - thanks man.
Michael - concur that Jack ain't leaving.
Ryan - no comment.
