Well as Audrey Griswold screamed in Vegas Vacation while dancing on top of a gigantic neon sign, "I'm starting my vacation!!!!" I just finished watching last night's mammouth episode of LOST while on a flight from Baltimore to Jacksonville. Yes sir head to the Happiest Place on Earth for a couple days before spending the rest of the week in Savannah.
This probably won't be my finest post (are any of them decent?) but I'll give it my best shot before I need to turn all my electronic devices off before landing. As Lindelof said, Happily Ever After sure was a game-changer. Desmond is the root of all awesomeness. It's that simple.
This sideways story was so intriguing and enlightening that I didn't even realize that we were off The Island from the 8:30 mark to the 37:20 mark until Widmore and the gang opened the garage door to the electromagnetic room to a wakening Desmond.
With all that is going around me (wind, turbulence, switching planes) I'm not sure if I truly grasped what the heck is actually going right now, but I do know that I love every second of it. When Charlie drives the car into the water and Des tries to save him, he has his first flash of something from The Island, Charlie's hand that said "Not Penny's Boat."
Okay. Okay. That didn't have to be major. But then we get Charlie telling him there's something major going on with love at first sight with him and Claire and he thinks Des and Penny (later on we also get Daniel and Charlotte). And then we meet Eloise and Daniel as part of Widmore's family and everything takes a turn.
Eloise obvsiously knows more about what in the f is going on and doesn't want Desmond to know about it. Faraday also knows something huge is at play, because he wrote a whole bunch of physics equations even though he is just an aspiring musician. Daniel claims that he thinks he set off an atomic bomb that created this whole sideways universe. Sure this is what we all assumed, but what does it have to do with the two seperate worlds and how we're going to get anything out of it?
Here's how. Desmond goes to find his beloved Penny and after shaking hands with the beauty he faints. During this faint we get cut to him waking up in the electromagnetic room. The hostiles claim he's been out for only a few seconds, but by the look on his face it seems that this Island Desmond was experiencing everything in the Sideways world (or at least can remember it).
That's when he buys into the fact that he truly is meant for greatness. He is needed to help the whole situation and tells Widmore, "You told me you brought me here to The Island to do something very important...when do we start?" Does it get much better than this dude?
After Sayid takes care of the hostiles and captures Desmond, he's completely fine with it. He's ready to go along with whatever ride comes his way. But then we get back to his Sideways (did he faint in the jungle at that moment?) where he is waking up from his fainting with Penny. She is really likening to Des and they agree to go get coffee.
Once he gets back into the limo driven by a bearded Daniel Negreanu, he has come up with an idea. What idea? To get the manifest from his Oceanic Flight 815. He just needs to show the passengers something. What in the world is he going to show everyone. How is his strange, maybe unctrollable, ability to switch back and forth between worlds going to be shown to others? And how will they then be able to do the same? Will the two worlds still be able to be combined or will all of the people he shows be able to come and go between the two worlds? Game-changer.
