"Lost" Diary -- D.O.C.

Hey, it's Daniel from TMZ here, back with another edition of the "Lost" Diary.

While we were watching "Lost" last week, Ari joked that when Charlie "died," all the Diary readers were probably thinking of me. And, lo and behold, I got several comments last week like this one: "Man when I saw the arrow go in Charlie's neck I was saying to myself Daniel is going to so love this." Or this one: "The first thing I thought of when Charlie was shot in the neck was 'Daniel is going to be so happy.' "

You guys are the best, really. And the offer still stands: When Charlie really does die, party at my house.

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes. I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. We got the OG crew back together this week: Ari, Lauren, April and Matt. Let's roll:
Lost
10:00 -- We're all curious about what's going to happen with Sun's pregnancy. Who is the dad? Will the Others want her or her child? Will she survive the pregnancy? Now Jack is curious too. A little too curious, maybe?

10:02 -- It's Sun flashback time and we've jumped back to when Jin and Sun first got married. I like that the flashbacks lately aren't completely linear.

10:03 -- Some of you may remember that I always make fun of Jin/Sun flashbacks because they use the words "honor" and "shame" in nearly every scene. The fact that Jin's mom is a prostitute will apparently bring shame to Mr. and Mrs. Kwon. From now on, whenever the words "honor" or "shame" are used, you have to drink.

10:04 -- I love Desmond as much as the next guy, but I think he's better in small doses. Am I wrong here?

10:05 -- "Oops." -- Hurley.

10:09 -- Nothing really interesting going on yet with Sun and Jin, except that after nearly three years of "Lost" I now am 100% certain which is Sun and which is Jin. I used to get it backwards every now and again, but I am good now.

10:10 -- Yup, Sun is suspicious of Jack. I don't know why it's weird when a doctor asks a pregnant woman how she's doing, but it just is.

10:11 -- Sun confronts Juliet about her "research" and Juliet acts like she didn't know Sun was pregnant. Riiiiiiiight.

10:12 -- "They die. They all die." -- Juliet. Glad you asked, Sun?

10:13 -- The crew of Desmond, Charlie, Jin and Hurley is really starting to bore me.

10:14 -- But then Mikhail comes running out of the woods. Which wouldn't be weird except for the fact THAT HE DIED!!!

10:17 -- Jin serves Mikhail up a nice helping of Korean whoop ass.

10:18 -- "As your friend pointed out, I already died once this week." -- Mikhail. Fair point.
Lost
10:19 -- Desmond takes Mikhail up on his offer to save the parachutist. Given the circumstances, I'd say it's the right call. Though I'd like to point out again, MIKHAIL DIED ALREADY!!!

10:20 -- Sun found Jin's dad and asks him why he wasn't at their wedding.

10:21 -- Drink.

10:22 -- What are the odds that the blackmailer is Jin's mom?

10:23 -- Drink.

10:24 -- Juliet wants to take Sun somewhere, just the two of them, to answer Sun's questions about the Others. Here's my question: has it been a week since Ben told Juliet he'd see her in a week? Cause if so, say 안녕 to Sun. (Yes, I looked up how to say "goodbye" in Korean.)

10:28 -- Sun is hesitant to tell Juliet when the last time she had sex with Jin was. The paternity of Sun's baby is "Lost's" version of the Anna Nicole Smith saga.

10:29 -- Sun is asking her dad for the money to pay off the blackmailer. This scene is almost over and no one said ...

10:30 -- Drink.

10:31 -- Interesting turn -- Jin began his career of "working" for Sun's dad because of this whole affair. There are always consequences.

10:32 -- After Mikhail saved her life, parachute girl muttered something in Portuguese. Mikhail says she said, "Thank you for saving my life," but I don't buy it for a second. Some Internet research will be required. (Apparently she said, "I am not alone.")

10:33 -- Juliet has taken Sun to the creepy hatch. This is definitely the last place a pregnant woman should be hanging out.

10:34 -- Juliet just gave Sun some bullshit speech about wanting to give good news again and Sun tells Juliet about her affair with Jae.

10:36 -- Man, that's a lot of security for a nursery.

10:41 -- "On this island, the wounds are a bit different." -- Mikhail. Understatement.

10:42 -- "Phone!" -- Jin. His english is really getting good.

10:43 -- There is no doubt that Desmond is making the wrong choice in letting Mikhail go, but at the same time I respect the fact that he did. He gave his word and, even on the island and even when the Others are involved, that has to mean something.

10:44 -- Juliet has great bedside manner, you know, for a lying bitch.
Lost
10:45 -- Ok, so I wonder: Assuming Ben and the Others are after Sun's baby, does finding out where she conceived change what they do? Do they want her either way or only if the result is one way? And if it's the latter, I think they want someone who conceived off the island -- isn't that what Juliet said a few weeks back?

10:46 -- "I don't want to be in your father's debt anymore than we already are." -- Jin. Brutha, you don't know the half.

10:48 -- Alright, daddy sweepstakes time is almost upon us. I am saying that Sun got pregnant off the island and thus, Jae is the father.

10:49 -- Sweet moment as Sun sees her baby for the first (and only?) time. Man, they are setting this up to end soooooo badly for her.

10:50 -- And Sun got pregnant on the island. So I lose, Jin wins and Sun dies. So if Sun is Anna, that makes Jin Larry Birkhead, Jae Howard K. Stern and Juliet as Judge Seidlin.

10:53 -- Sun goes to meet the blackmailer. I am loving my call that she's really Jin's mom. Not a tough call by any means, but I need to get one prediction right.

10:54 -- Sweet! I'll take any victory I can get. Lauren has proclaimed that Sun is her new Korean idol.

10:55 -- According to Juliet, Sun doesn't have much time and she has no chance of even giving birth. Damn. Is abortion not an option?

10:56 -- Juliet is going back inside the hatch for some reason. Hmm, that doesn't sound suspicious at all ...

10:57 -- Sun should lock Juliet in the hatch. That would be awesome.

10:58 -- Juliet is leaving Ben a message. Apparently her assignment was to find if the women on the island were pregnant -- or at the least the one's who aren't just milling around in the background.

10:59 -- "Flight 815, they found the plane. There were no survivors. They were all dead." -- parachute girl.

11:00 -- "What?" -- Hurley.
Lost
Sometimes I think I am too hard on an episode, other times I think I am too easy. This might be a week that I am too easy.

We got a few answers tonight (the paternity of Sun's baby, more info on Juliet's "mission") and got hit with a few more questions, too (Mikhail is alive? Everyone on Flight 815 died?). It was a good mix of give and take and the flashback had just enough information to keep me interested the whole way through. Add it all up, and the episode gets a B from me. Not bad considering it didn't have Locke or Henry Gale in it.

One of the first "Lost" theories about the show to become popular was that the Losties didn't survive the plane crash and they were all in purgatory -- producers quickly said this was not the case. The ending of tonight's episode sure lends credence to that old theory.

Assuming they aren't all in purgatory, and assuming this woman isn't lying (after all, she was looking for Desmond) here is a quick theory that will no doubt be proven wrong: Once the plane crashed on the island, Henry Gale called back to the Hanso/Dharma people to tell them what happened. The powers that be decided they couldn't have rescue teams come looking for the plane because they might find the island. So they somehow staged a fake crash site to keep people from looking. Could be, right?

So I am going to continue the theme of "community" that we have here at the "Lost" Diary with my question to you this week: Obviously we're all "Lost" fans here (except the guy who posts under the name No Longer A Lost Fan), but is "Lost" your favorite show? If not, what is? Catch you next week.

Ahhh! Mikhail?! What the hell?!!! If he faked his own death, then the fence is harmless....but it repelled the smoke monster....right? Of maybe the 'Others' are all dead in a way. Think about it: Juliett needed to be drugged to come to the island. But her being strapped down and all that seemed suspicious. And, since they're dead, they can't procreate...does this mean Ethan's not dead? A Zombie Ethan would definitely prevent me from sleeping EVER AGAIN.

I love Heroes. Lost is afraid to answer its questions. Heroes trusts the audience more.

I'm bothered by the Patchy reincarnation. I'm not sure why. I am also bothered that Italian Parachute Girl now speaks fluent un-accented English now that there isn't a branch protruding from her lung.

However, I love Jin the Mutant Ninja Turtle and Juliet brings the level of power to an episode similar to Ben, so I'm happy.

I'm starting a Charlie pool on how and when he dies, $5 a square....

I still love Lost, but now that HEROES is back from hiatus, it is indeed competing for my number one place...thank god for Tivo.....

Oh, and THANK YOU for posting this so early, it made my morning to see it first thing...*joy*

Ok, Daniel, I totally agree with your theory on the staged plane wreckage. That was the first thing that came to my mind as well and I wouldn't put it past that crazy Henry Gale (who I love). I totally love Lost, it is by far my favorite show. I like others but Lost is the only show I make sure I tune into watch.

I also have another theory. At the end of last season the "Others" only wanted Kate, Jack & Sawyer and sent Hurley packing when he showed up with them. I think the "others" wanted just the three of them because of the so-called love triangle that was going on and they basically forced Kate to fall for Sawyer by separating them from Jack and then forcing her to stand up for Sawyers life. I mean, come on, they basically forced them to fall for each other and wanted them to have sex for their sick little projects! But that is just my theory.....

Love the column and I also think of you whenever there is a charlie death vision!!!!

I LOVE LOST. The best show ever. I started late watching it, I had to rent Season 1 and Season 2 (which was a wonderful way to watch it - no commercials) I look forward to watching it every week. I really liked Suebee's theory that Juilet lied and said Sun's baby was conceived on the island and she only said that so she could "cure" Sun and then Ben will let her leave the island - not that I think he ever will.

I don't know what I look more forward to each week - LOST or this blog! Thanks Daniel! I also love reading all of the comments. Lost is definitely my favorite show, but I also like Grey's Anatomy. The last minute of last night's episode was perfect! "They were all dead." Boom. Black Screen. I give the episode an "A" just for that!!! I can hardly wait until next week.

I don't think Mikhail died when he ran through the fence. If you go back and look at the closeup of the body in that episode, he is still breathing.

For me, game on! Lost is awesome, even with the "fillers" in between. I truly believe that the writers are geniuses and they know what they're talking about. Admit it, they have us wrapped around their finger and they have it all figured out.
The one thing that bothers me so much (and my husband thinks I'm gross) is how unhairy the women are. I would have legs and armpits like an ape, not to mention my eyebrows. Yet somehow this magical island keeps everyone hair free. I definitely wouldn't be looking for some nookie...too embarassing!
Oh, Grey's Anatomy is my favorite. What, I'm a girl.

Love this blog...

What if the original flight out of Syndey was staged... and all people were prepicked or assembled to somehow contribute to the island... (i.e. the monk & the jewelry store lady -- who, wasn't she with the others when Sawyer/Kate and Jack were being held?) or the guy Claire went to see in Syndey - urging her to get on that plane, must be THAT flight, that she's "special"!!! ... and what if Locke's Dad & Penny's Dad are the puppeteers behind the island, not Ben... and Ben is trying to take-over, thus - the kidnapping of "the man from Tallahassee" And Penny is trying to save Desmond, as she caught wind of her Dad's business and he shipped Desmond off to the island so she couldn't find him. Or...what if parachute girl is really our introduction to a hostile... and not Penny related at all. But a pawn trying to get in with the Lostie's...i.e. photo of Desmond/Penny...

So many questions and always a few 'WTF's?' each week... always a good time. Lost is my fave, 24 is second - although 24's fairly lame & predictible this season.

I am with you on the theory that Dharma/Hanso faked a crash site. That sort of creepy, over-controlling move is right up their alley.

Favorite T.V. show? Toss up between LOST when it isn't being a waste of time (i.e. Paulo and that one chick episode) and 24.

First, I read that "5" people would die by seasons end... Did anyone notice Jack's tattoo with the big # 5 in the center.... hmmmmmm

I also think Mikhail did not die maybe it was a staged seizure? He knew what the fence is used for and the ramifications of coming in contact with it! Plus they did not bury him!!

I loved the Pulp Fiction like scene when Mikhail jabbed that draining pipe into Naomi"s chest!

Remember when Ben took Juliet to the Farm House where Mikhail was, so she could see her sister via the TV monitor... Mikhail was also viewing airplanes via radar screen... although the farm house blew up [thanks Locke] maybe there is another station where Mikhail saw the heli, and paraschuter? or maybe just the flair.. [Hurley DUH!]

Did they find any bodies from 815 or just a part of the plane and just persumed there were no survivors?

I love this FRIGG'N show and already feel my IBS acting up because the season is drawing to an end!!!!!!

Lost is the only show I sit down and watch for the entire hour. I never get to watch TV but I make it a point not to be bothered when "My Show " is on.

I so want to know all the answers to all the questions but yet do not want the series to end. No Sawyer in this epi...so it ranks a C+ with me. And it's not just his smoldering bad boy sex appeal I missed but his hilarious sarcastic remarks and nicknames. Kate must be pregnant. Don't trust Juliett even though she isn't all that bad since she hates Ben. She just has her own agenda, separate from the others. Jack has established his own agenda as well. And apparently Locke has his very own also. So nobody seems to be on the same page. Can't wait to see the outcome...eventually.

DKDTE:  1754 days ago

I had a theory that because Desmond did not let Charlie die, he altered the course of reality and Patchy (hey, if you can call Ben "Henry", I can call Mikhail "Patchy") did not actually die and the farmhouse did not blow up - which is why he wanted the phone because he can recharge it at the farm house. I'm probably wrong, but hey, anythings possible. :-)

Or, if he was "healed" by the island and never died in the first place and the farm house is gone, then clearly, he wants the phone to try and be able to reestablish communications with the outside world. That actually makes more sense.

Love the blog, Daniel!

Dont let SonrisaFive's mind tricks get you...the uglies are coniving vile little creatures.
They lurke in the shadows ready to pounce.

At one time, the only way of killing them was Henny, but the uglies soon became immune to that so we had to find other means of disposing them, hence the Grey Goose. But if we dont act quickly in erradicting their species...I fear they will become immune to the Grey Goose as well and all humanity as we know it, will be doomed.
