The LOST season finale will make my brain explode!

Before inaugurating my new travel blog "I Forgot the Directions" I thought I would announce a couple of deals that are circulating around the interwebs for those looking to book last-minute summer vacation:


  • fly to Dublin, Manchester, or London from Toronto for as low as $94 - 114, air only(holidaymarkettravel.com)

  • fly to Madrid via Toronto (or Buffalo) for $431 CAD (via itravel2000.com)

  • stay on the island of Elba, Italy with an all-inclusive trip starting at 110 euros a night (MBeTravel.com)

So, final thoughts.... was anyone's mind completely blown away by the season finale of LOST last night?!

WOOT, that was some 'effed up action towards the end, with the flash-"forwards", what with Locke (who lethally administers a swift killing to Naomi the parachutist with a quick launch of his handy knife) facing down Jack, and finally contact being made with the "enemy" the offshore ship waiting to rescue them!!!!

I am severely disappointed that Charlie's dead at the hands of I-must-be-robot-cuz-I-just-won't-stay-dead Mikhail (Charlie, incidentally, drowned just as Desmond predicted). It had been rumoured for weeks, and I figure the hobbit is probably going off to make some exciting films in la-la-land and can probably crash with Evangeline if he is called back to do flashbacks a la Boone.

But H-E-L-L-O - why can't Ben/Locke (they've started to develop very similar characteristics) just reveal their motives!!!! Aaah, the writers are going to kill me with all of these raised questions, and the plot keeps twisting in the wind!

How glad was anyone to see Walt (who's all grown up), and to see that Sayid/Bernard/Jin had survived!

And, what exactly is the deal with the ship? Why shouldn't they want to be rescued??? As we see from the flash-forward, all with the island may not be what it seems, but it apparently causes you to either develop a bad addiction to pills/renegade doctor if you leave it (Jack) or a lady seriously flaunting her need to star in a Pantene ad (Kate) - whew! hot!!

I am so frustrated it will be drawn out for 3 more seasons, sigh... If you still can't get enough, check out screengrabs, closeups and more goodies from last night's episode here, losteastereggs.blogspot.com/
