Lost Update - Aint No Mountain High Enough

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 01/15/2005

'Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

The Grassy Knoll Institute believes the survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory connected together as a battery of tests and experiments are performed on them. Not by the Dharma initiative, but by aliens. In this update, we look at John Locke, the wheelchair bound man who was miraculously cured and became a master of survival. While out looking for Claire, the blond pregnant girl, he stumbles upon a metal trap door in the side of the mountain. Locke is pondering on how to open it.

Meanwhile, Sayid is trying to read the maps from the French woman and Locke gives him his compass saying he doesn't need it anymore. Sayid discovers that the compass is off, that it doesn't point true North. Or, the island doesn't conform to the Earths magnetic field. Perhaps because its not on Earth.

Noticed another thing. This island is huge. It has mountains, tall mountains, waterfalls, miles and miles of land, and an endless coastline. Yet they are the only people on the island. This island is as big as Hawaii, the big island of Hawaii. In reality, the island would be heavily populated since it is the tropical region conducive to year round warm weather and would at least be a huge tourist trap. Why don't these "Lost" survivors realize this?

This episode was really a lot about nothing except to foreshadow what was to become next. I guarantee Claire returns without the baby.

Until next week.

Lost Update - A Day In The Virtual Reality Life

ABC Lost In Virtual Reality Update - 01/05/2005

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

After a long holiday hiatus, "Lost" the ABC television series returned. If you recall, the Grassy Knoll Institute believes the survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory connected together as a battery of tests and experiments are performed on them. Not by the Dharma institute, but by aliens.

The last episode had Locke, the formerly wheelchair bound bald man, finding a metallic type door under thick brush while looking for the abducted pregnant blond woman Claire. Well, the story never came close to touching on this discovery. Long hiatus, and nothing about the freaking hatch.

Instead, it added a little more back story to the characters and had Kate and the bad dude, Sawyer, getting more cozy. They find a briefcase, Kate's briefcase and there is something very suspicious within.

Kate lies to Jack, the doctor, and they open the case together revealing some cash, guns, papers, and a model airplane. Remember the police agents warning to Jack not to trust Kate?

This episode to me was simply a primer to get the audience back in the swing after being off the air for several weeks. The only significant happening was the eroding shoreline causing the group to move their belongings further inland. My speculation is that the aliens want the group off the beach and will force them into the jungle to experiment.

Next weeks episode will surely explore the metallic door in the mountain and the pregnant woman Claire will be found.

Until next week.....
