LOST 6.7 : Dr. Linus
Another great episode!
Off island revelations:

Ben is teaching his European History class about Napoleon’s exile to the island Elba. Napoleon’s biggest trial wasn’t being banished but losing his power. Sounds like Ben’s island experience.
Ben still seeks power – He planned to take over as Principal of the school where he teaches European History. Locke, the substitute teacher, encourages him to make a change in administration.
Ben’s dad is an old man under the care of Ben. They had still gone to the island with the Dharma Initiative but …

I am becoming giggly with anticipation for the live Oscar show this Sunday. So giggly, in fact, that I have decided to re-visit this post from last month announcing the Oscar nominations. This is your last chance, dear Coffee Break readers, to let your voice (er…click) be heard. Take my Oscar poll and let’s see how well we do with our predictions.

LOST 6.5 – The Lighthouse…recap and commentary  by Evie.

Jack noticed his appendectomy scar and asked his mom about it. Mom told him that he had it removed when he was seven. Jack doesn’t seem convinced. Is Momma Shephard in on this crazy island deception? (BTW, the wound on his neck that he noticed on the flight appears to have healed)
Jack has a son named David. He appears to be about 14 years old. Is Jack’s cute blonde wife the mom? Jack has been an absent father by the looks …

Well, this is it folks. The bachelor, Jake has made his pick. It’s the moment we’ve been dreading for weeks. It’s the moment we could all see coming, and yet we still held out a slim hope that by some strange miraculous series of events, Jake would realize what we’ve been saying all along,”Don’t do it Jake. Don’t pick Vienna.” But he did it anyway…and proposed to Vienna. All we can do is hope that Jake really did find true love and that Vienna is not the girl we’ve come …

LOST Recap for Episode 6.4
“The Substitute”
Locke and Helen
This episode begins with John Locke arriving at his home in suburban LA. The wheel-chair lift on the van gives out half way down and he rolls himself onto the grass, but unfortunately lands on his face. Knowing he had just flown back from Australia where he was not allowed to go on his walk-about, and that the airline has just lost his luggage, I was prepared for Locke to be extra grouchy. Especially when the sprinklers came on.  But he actually began …

LOST   follow up to last week’s episode.
First of all, my apologies to those of you who genuinely enjoyed the last episode, What Kate Does. Perhaps I was too harsh in my judgment of not enough answers. Erika at Long Live Locke.com reminded me that we fell in love with LOST way back when there wasn’t a lot of action. Shannon was sunbathing, Jack was going through suit cases looking for supplies, Charlie was playing his guitar. On the other hand there wasn’t a whole lot of crazy mystery either that …

What Kate Does – Lost 6.3

This Kate-centric episode shows her at the airport hijacking a cab occupied by Claire. Arzt is crossing the sidewalk and having a problem with his luggage so the cab driver stops for a moment. Kate looks out the window and sees Jack talking on his cell phone. She looks at him like she recognizes him but can’t quite place who he is. Not far from the airport, the cab driver jumps out of the cab, so Kate gets into the driver’s seat and kicks …
