LIVE Posting: Episode 3.19-"The Brig"

I'm excited and ready to go. We're in the last month of LOST Season 3...

9:07PM-So these flashbacks are island flashbacks. Those are always fun...Hurley's not so good at looking innocent, lol...Why would Locke want to say goodbye to Kate and not Jack or Sawyer?...How did Cooper get to the island?...Are the Others going back to "Alcatraz"?...

9:17PM-What makes Locke want to kill Ben?...Is the Others' kidnapping of the pregnant women coincide with the week that Ben told Juliet?...Where are the Others camping?...Will Sawyer kill Ben?...

9:31PM-Intense sequence there with Locke and his father. Thought Locke was going to turn around and cut his neck. But alas he didn't...As I originally thought, it's Cooper in "The Brig" instead of Ben. Going into the episode I thought it was Cooper by the description then I thought it may be Ben...Will Sawyer kill him?...How many people trust Jack?...How did they find the bodies of the survivors? Maybe they had decayed enough that they couldn't tell they weren't the actual people on the plane or maybe it's something else...Nice to see Sayid again after a few episodes off...

9:43PM-So there are seeds of dissension in the Others camp too (doubting Ben while the survivors doubt Jack)...Rousseau appeared briefly...Now it's apparent that Cooper/Sawyer is Sawyer's parents' killer...

9:53PM-So Sawyer did Locke's job. Will Locke return to the Others now? How will he keep Sawyer away? I don't think Sawyer will want him to go back...Return of the question posed in the pilot: Where are they?...Onto the final segment, solid episode thus far. Still didn't explain where Cooper came from though...

10:00PM-Locke is on his own now. How long will that last?...What did Juliet and Jack have to say to Kate? That's only going to raise suspicion against him. And with Locke giving Sawyer evidence, Jack's going to be in hot water...Why did the Others give Locke the tape? What good comes of that?...

Good episode tonight. I think next week's will be the great one I was expected. Due to possible spoilers I won't get into why...

To watch tonight's episode again, go to ABC.com tomorrow morning...

Next week's episode, Episode 3.20, titled "The Man Behind the Curtain", will air at 10/9c next week on ABC...

Observations: Episode 3.18-"D.O.C."

Great episode. Wasn't a simple plot being worked out but threw in some surprises such as Mikhail and Naomi (the girl from the sky) declaring that no one survived the crash of Flight 815.

You can see HD screenshots at the new home of my screen captures, Webshots, or by clicking the thumbnails below (to view full resolution on Webshots, click the Zoom icon, second from the left, below the picture)...

1. How did Mikhail survive and/or come back from the dead? Kate felt his pulse didn't she? Maybe the sonic fence only paralyzes for awhile? Maybe Jacob healed him?

2. Is Sun doomed to die?

3. What kind of sample is Juliet getting and what's it for?

4. What was Naomi really saying? Can we trust what Mikhail said? From what I've read, he didn't translate correctly after his “operation”...She didn't say “thank you”, she said ???

5. Did the Others, or those above the Others, fake the Flight 815 crash? Is it to prevent people from searching for the island?

6. Was Mikhail expecting Naomi? Or just looking for whoever fell from the sky?

As I said, I liked this episode a lot. Not one that I loved but good. I believe next week's will be one I love. I probably should lower my expectations...

Next week's episode, Episode 3.19, titled “The Brig”, will air at 10/9c on Wednesday, May 2. Only three episodes remain before the two hour season finale on May 23.

To watch “D.O.C.” for free, go to ABC.com.
