LOST Season Five Episode:9 Namaste

Here we are again, Lost fans! But this time it's the beginning of the end. In some ways I'm relieved. I've had a burning desire since episode 1 Season 1 to know just what the smoke monster really is and why were these people chosen to crash on this island. But on the other hand, I'm not looking forward to having to find something else to fill the hour long void that will be left after LOST finally goes off the air for good. I've seen the trailers for Harper's Island, and I have to say that I'm intrigued, though after some research I will have to say that I'm a little disappointed that it's only a new series and not some interactive who-dun-it.

I would like to take a moment to give my little disclaimer. I am a fan LOST, but not a fan, if you know what I'm trying to say.

If that's what you're after, there are many great LOST sites dedicated to doing just that, breaking down each show minute but minute and analyzing everything. It won't hurt my feelings any if you skip the rest of my article to find something a bit more to your taste. I appreciate you reading this far.

For those of you who hung around to read the rest of my LOST article, you might be interested in a great little website that gives a few hints about upcoming episodes, if you're into that kind of thing. I've made it my weekly stop for three seasons now. www.spoilerfix.com. Not only does it give you the inside scoop on upcoming LOST episodes, but a number of other shows as well. What I like about taking a sneak peak is that I get a good idea of what the overall show is about, so I can try and concentrate on the little details that I might have missed otherwise. But spoilers aren't for everyone and I won't hold it against you if you don't visit the site.

Anyway, enough digression and let's get on with taking a look at the new episode.

Episode 9 opens in the airplane taking our favorite castaways back to the Island. The co-pilot recognizes Hurley as one of the Oceanic 6. The scene is very reminiscent of the original plane crash that got everyone there in the first place. I think that this was intentional; that the writers wanted the story to come full circle so that we can move forward uniformly toward the end.

The plane runs into a bit of turbulence, which we are already expecting and the bright
