Comment: Lost SPOILER ALERT

Okay, I haven't watched this week's Glee yet, but I did watch this week's Lost.

Personally I enjoyed Alison Janney's performance as the Witchy/Freaky/Groovy Mama Bear, although it really wasn't very sporting of her to keep killing people. Not cool.

We got the whole Cain and Abel thing. Yawn. Come on, J.J. Abrams et. al., you can do better than that! Sheesh.

The main thing I took away from the show this week was, wow, they have good casting directors, because the young Jacob and He Who is Never Named/Man in Black/Converted Smoke Monster Due to Overexposure to Bright Light Cave REALLY looked like the grown up actors cast in the same parts. Impressive.

And I always enjoy the moviesque soundtrack.

But of course I still have a few million questions. If The Original Man in Black was killed, did the smoke monster he became come BACK and fill up his dead body? If so, then why did Jack and Kate and Locke find two corpses if MIB was inhabiting one of those two bodies at the time? And when/why did he switch to Locke's body? Can Smokey only inhabit recently dead people? And when did all those scenes of the two brothers playing mental chess happen? Was that when Smokey re-inhabited the original MIB's body? Or have I slipped through a rip in the space time continuum too? Is this some kind of you-can-check-out-any-time-you-like-but-you-can-never-leave scenario? Because there are to be NO EAGLES songs in the final episodes. I'm serious.

And Jacob is suddenly not so lily white, is he? All this moral ambiguity feels like a set up for a very inconclusive conclusion.

But it's been nebulous and wicked murky all along, so why change now?

Only two more episodes, I think; but one of them is probably going to be like four hours long. They need to tie up a few hundred loose threads.

Good luck with that.
