The 2nd to last time I'll write about Lost 'til Jan. '08

And this one will be brief, because there was not nearly so much kuh-raziness to ponder as last week, though still a solid show.

Darn you Charlie! Just when I go and get myself all psyched up to watch you die for reals, you go and make me cry my eyes out throughout the show. His 5 "greatest hits list" meant to be given to Claire after Desmond's premonition played out with "meeting you" as #1...his goodbye to Aaron and Claire when he told "Turniphead" he loved him...when he processed Desmond's flash meaning he had to cowboy up and drown for Claire and Aaron to be rescued...Hurley's "I love you man" and his return I love you too...Leaving the DS ring in Aaron's crib so it would stay "in the family" as brother Liam insisted it do (and yeah, funny that I was just discussing LOTR with Massi yesterday. I was just waiting for Liam to refer to it as "the one true ring" that Charlie had to guard.) Very fine acting Dom. And I always do love the episode that presents the opportunity for me to have "You all, Everybody" stuck in my head for days on end.

Other good stuff:

You go Karl and Alex (or Karlex as I just saw them dubbed.) Good warning/gun running mission. And when Alex queried "is he my father?" to Karl re: Ben. Interesting.

Nadia! As in Sayid's Nadia. That's who Charlie saved in the Manchester alley. Wild. She's now been in Locke and Charlie's flashbacks in addition to Sayid. Wonder if anyone's mapped out all the overlap connecting these guys in their previous lives. I imagine it's out there on the web somewhere.

And Sayid. Awesome as always. Love how he sent Jack off with his tail between his legs to lead the troops to the radio tower.

Danielle! Good work joining with Jack and Juliet on mission rig the tents with lethal TNT. That is, if Jack and Juliet are really working for the forces of good now.

Rose and Bernard! Alive and well and sweetly bickering away. Though I wonder if Bernard will be a casualty of the final showdown as he's stepped up for operation shoot the dynamite laden tents. Hope not.

Richard Alpert?? He of the well lined eyes. Clearly knows Ben is off his rocker. Will he do anything about it?

Was Jack telling Kate that he loved her in the preview or was that an editing trick?

I can hardly wait for next Wednesday and am trying my darndest to stay away from the spoilers.
