The Full Enchilada

Well, after the dizziness and nose bleed inducing time travel watching the last Season of LOST, I thought I had enough. Apparently not, I was lured in again curious to get John Locke back. I really think at this point if John Locke is dead for good, LOST will lose viewers. Locke has become the central figure for the show, unless you watch it for the sappy triangle romance between Jack, Kate, and Sawyer…

The black guy, who appeared once in a while, and now has a good part in Fringe was always very interesting also, something about that guy’s face that is unique and intriguing. I notice that just as with Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia and others, LOST, also seems to borrow a lot from Biblical themes and stories….you could see the black smoke monster as the devil, and Jacob as Jesus, in fact at other times, there were other survivors who portrayed some Jesus like role to die to save others….in the last one I watched you could say they borrowed from Revelation, about the devil being thrown into the pit and then he would be let loose again for a while….the black cloud monster found a way to trick Ben by pretending he was John Locke, into betraying Jacob. Now Jacob though, if really dead, may somehow rise again in some way or in a different ’state’, perhaps they borrow again from Bible with idea of glorified bodies etc…it was interesting that the black monster, ie the ‘devil’ wanted to leave the Island, to go out into the world….i still have some catching up to do, I’ve only seen LAX part 1 and part 2 and I think there were one or two more episodes I haven’t seen yet. I hope we haven’t see the last yet of the ‘real’ John Locke, and I think most are tired and bored of the Sawyer and Kate thing and likely feel more empathy for Juliet….Ben probably would be nice to finally find true ‘conversion’ and redemption from all his ’sins’…..otherwise I think we want him to do some more ‘bad’ things and then watch him get his final justice….

You could also try and see the Jacob and the monster thing from a mormon perspective, ie mormons believing that Jesus and the devil/lucifer were brothers and supposedly God chose one over the other and Jesus’ plan for mankind versus Lucifer’s plan. Perhaps the angle will take a diff turn as I watch the next episodes, will be interesting to see what the deal is with that seemingly parallel universe where they are on the island but are in LA also at the same time….or perhaps it isn’t exactly same time…wasn’t clarified yet…looking forward to see if the ‘beast’, the devil, will escape the Island and get out into the rest of the world, and if he does what will happen etc…or will Jacob rise again in some way and defeat/crush the head of the devil having just bruised his heel in the previous betrayal by Ben who had felt too ignored lately by Jacob and was jealous of John Locke…

And I kind of doubt we’ve seen the last of Juliet….at least I hope we haven’t….
