LOST: Season Six

-
I personally believe that seasons four and five of LOST were not very rewatchable and ultimately sucked. That being said, I think I know what would make me relatively happy when the show ends. At Comic-Con this year, they released all of these videos that made it seem like once the nuke goes off, the crash never happened and possibly events change well before then too – more on that once I’ve watched all the videos, but the one for Hurley was pretty weird – maybe he didn’t play the numbers but still won the lottery. We don’t know, really.

In light of those videos, I think the best course of action is to go with two realities, one that continues with the survivors on the island and shows that the nuke didn’t do anything, and one reality where everything gets reset and we get to see what might have happened to each character had the crash and other stuff not happened. We might see Shannon, Michael, Boone, Ana Lucia, Libby, and Charlie again, if that is the case – which makes me think I could be right because some of them have been slated to return for at least an episode in the sixth season – Charlie and Shannon, anyway.

I will NOT be happy if I don’t get an answer to the smoke monster. Seeing the weird Egyptian lair does not count, and I want answers. I don’t know anything about hieroglyphics and I shouldn’t have to look on the internet to get answers to the show. I want answers, good ones. Concrete ones that make sense. I also would love to finally understand the numbers, but I’ve basically given up on that one.
So that’s my theory – dual and possibly parallel realities. Huzzah!

You Love Me [by Caroline Kepnes]

 When You  was published, it was like nothing I had ever read before, or since, for that matter. I was in the head of Joe Goldberg, an obsessive murdering stalker who made you root for him. And it was amazing. So amazing, that Netflix optioned it and made it into a series, which is equally amazing even if it doesn't follow the book plot the way all of us book nerds would like. Then Caroline Kepnes [who you should really be following on Twitter because she's hilarious] wrote a follow-up, also starring Joe Goldberg, titled Hidden Bodies . Because the first book was so amazing, I had high hopes for the second, which is usually disappointing. And this was too - the book was great, but not as great as the first, and I figured this is where the series would end. The writing was great but the plot was a little too fantastical. But I'm a huge fan of Kepnes, so when You Love Me , the third in the installment, was announced, I of course pre-ordered on Amazon because even if it was ba...

The Every [by Dave Eggers]

You would think since I’m so obsessed with The Circle that I would immediately know when Dave Eggers wrote a sequel. I blame my eight month old baby for not knowing when anything new comes out. Of course, I devoured this book as soon as I got it. Unfortunately, this one just went too far. There are cute references to Amazon and how they made a movie and it was terrible, but overall it was a bit of a mess. It’s unrealistic that Mae Holland would be the CEO. Sure, she is the reason Ty didn’t destroy everything, but I didn’t like that she was in the book at all. It’s like when a TV reboot references the old show too much, it comes across a bit pathetic. Like if you don’t have any more ideas, don’t write a second book.  To be fair, the reason I love The Circle is because it sounds great - I love tech and the book teetered in the edge of plausible spookiness in a way that was obliterated in The Every , with the weird clothes and the general mania and WHY was Francis back? Ridiculous. I...

Klara and the Sun (by Kazuo Ishiguro)

Because I read so much, not every book is a home run. Some are tedious and others are predictable, equally devastating sins for fiction. Sometimes I choose the wrong books and don't challenge myself to read something different. Even more disappointing, I sometimes judge books by their titles and covers and think they're something else without reading the description. Shame on me. My husband and I celebrate Jolabokaflod, an Icelandic tradition where you gift each other books on Christmas Eve, get in your pajamas, eat chocolate, and read. This past Christmas we had a 3-month-old baby at home and I didn't have time to choose books and my husband chose carefully from high-rated lists on Amazon, and he chose Klara and the Sun  for me, and I am forever thankful. It is rare to read a book that sticks with you and noodles around in your brain months later, and I believe that is the mark of successful fiction. Maybe it's shocking or sad or makes you think about things differentl...
