Eight Bells

Awesome episode. I was curious just how much 'Submarine' time we would actually see on the show once they docked on the Island. We get our answer with this when the crew is tasked to do a drug run in exchanged for 3 captive soldiers, contingent on them making the deadline. Throw in a couple of battleships tracking the sub and you got the makings of a very tense episode. I won't tell you what happens next, but lets just say that we have a Villain that just p i s s e d off the wrong people.

Voluntold

It took 4 episodes and the very last scene for someone to finally address the "mystery" of the Island. Although nothing concrete was said, the implied nature of the conversation does make anyone that has seen Lost take notice. I did get a chuckle from the line "...you have to protect the Island". Come on, that was just way too close to home. I was expecting Ben Linus to walk out. I thought the stand off in the Sub was pretty good. A lot of tension. Solid episode.

Skeleton Crew

This episode was fricken' awesome! I would never have guessed that a negotiation between all parties involved, asking for their surrender would end up in a blood bath and that the man behind the trigger would be Rear Admiral Arthur Shepard (Bruce Davison) as he takes out the mediator as well as shooting the Secretary of Defense William Curry (Jay Karnes). I guess every man has a breaking point and threatening the life of his daughter Lieutenant Grace Sheppard on board the Submarine is the pressure point to make a man snap. Fantastic episode all around.

Another Fine Navy Day

That was a kick ass episode with some very good writing and editing. With everyone on the Island and the Sub being drugged, it causes a panic attack of illusions. Everyone reacts a different way, but the two main stories were the most compelling here. Captain Marcus Chaplin dreams of being reunited with his Son and Lieutenant Commander Sam Kendal with his Wife Christine. What makes this really cool is the fractured narrative of how they present the timeline and the story. The ending with Sam and Sophie kissing was a good twist. But the question is, how is this going to affect them? I think it's gonna change Sophie more, given the coy smile she had on her face when she saw the surveillance footage of said kiss.

Also cool was realizing that David Rees Snell is on the show. I didn't even recognize him at all in the scenes that he was in up till now. It's no surprise that Shawn Ryan is adding cast members from The Shield. I approve.

Nuke It Out

Now we are into the cloak and dagger stuff back home, planting that device in that "Lawyers" car and intercepting his calls. Seems like they (whoever they are) is using his kid as leverage. As for the missing key, I suspected that it was Cortez. Sure enough, it is. The bomb vest was pretty intense.

ABC Cancels Last Resort

Why do I continue to put myself through this? I'm always giving shows a chance and liking a majority of them only to have them pull the rug out from under me.

Sigh.

Big Chicken Dinner

This is the kind of episode that you watch and get p i s s e d off at knowing the end of the series is just a few short episodes away. A fantastic episode that added even more elements to an already compelling story line. So one of the soldiers is excused of raping one of the Islander Girls and is now being forced to stand trial. The reenactment of said crime wasn't what I thought it was. It was actually of a **** involving Grace Sheppard who is being asked to defend the accused. He is find not guilty, but we learn after the fact that he is guilty of the crime, which has him fleeing for his life on the Island while be pursued by the villagers. It just p i s s e s me off that ABC decided to cancel this awesome series. Ugh!!

Cinderella Liberty

If the previous episode wasn't enough to get your blood boiling toward the stupidity of ABC cancelling Last Resort, then Cinderella Liberty is sure to make you pick up an Ax and starting hacking away at those responsible for pulling the plug on this awesome series. This episode in particular was f u c k e d up with the amount of incidents that went sideways. We finally get the answers as to what the Navy Seal team did prior to being picked up on the Sub which led to all of this. Even the back-story of the actual incident went sideways and had a ripple effect that directly affected the current situation on the boat carrying the family members of the crew. The full hour was thick with tension as I didn't know myself how they would get out of the situation. Another moment that goes sideways is Sheppard finding the Launch Key mysteriously hanging on the door hook, but now is looked upon as the mole because she found it. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Awesome episode.

F u c k you ABC!
