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.....


LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

  1. This was the introduction to Desmond in a upcoming episodes. I still can't figure out why Locke was driven so hard to find the hatch, now that he has evolved into the leader of the island, and the others, the spiritual leader. why would he need to find the hatch. Unless he needed to know about the 108 minute timer that Desmond pushed and the revelation that there were more stations like the hatch hidden on the island.

  2. Perhaps Locke is looking for his destiny. Just as Taylor was, in the Planet of the Apes. Another Rod Serling show. And as the warning was given to Taylor, You might not like what you find.
