A Lost post?

Sure, why not.

I thought I’d given up on the show. I thought it had gone to the dogs with that mid-season break last Fall. Then it came back on with those lame episodes bringing Kate and Sawyer off the additional island. Blah, Blah, Blah…

What changed? The last three shows have been the great, old style variety that caught my attention in the first place. They’ve brought back the weird connections, for one thing. The Missus says they hinted at Claire’s relation to Jack earlier, but I didn’t see it coming.

I was thinking about how they focused on Claire’s eyes so much in this last episode (3/14). She has amazing eyes, so why not. Then I don’t think anything is accidental with this show. Where are they going with the eyes? All these things that she saw. She saw the sea gulls flying off the island. She saw Charlie talking with Desmond quite often.

Seeing is only half of the battle, right? There’s what Claire perceived. She saw a way off the island when the birds caught her attention. She saw Charlie’s actions as just one deception after another. She saw Desmond as some devil influence on Charlie.

Claire’s perceptions are a mixed bag. Some were spot on. The birds might work. Charlie, however, turned out to be more honest than she thought. Desmond was only trying to protect him.

What does all this mean?

Just that Claire’s perceptions are clouded and the Lost writers work a motif pretty well.

Then there’s Lock and his crappy judgement.
