Lost for May 16 - "...blow them all up to Hell"
Ok, so I know I said I wouldn't do a quote again, but I'm pretty sure this was in the previews from last week anyway. As it stands - this is going to be a pretty darn short review as this was, almost entirely, a lead up to the season finale next week (which I do not get to watch on my nice HDTV as I'll be in Vegas).
This weeks episode focused on Charlie. I like Charlie - but his past just kind of bores me. All of his flashbacks related to the best memories of his life - leading up to his sacrifice to shut down the Looking Glass - the underwater Dharma station that is blocking all outside communication. While an underwater station has been mentioned before (right?), I don't think it was shown on the map.
Of course, Charlie gets down to the hatch and discovers it wasn't abandoned. In the preview for next week we see him getting beat up by, we assume, the Others manning the station.
We discover what Jack has been up to. Along with Blondie and Crazy French Lady (have I said I'm bad with names?) he was planning a way to fight back against the Others. This plan goes to heck though when Ben returns and moves up the attack.
Oh - and Desmond is convinced that if Charlie sacrifices himself, Claire and the baby will get rescued. Now I think this is an important point. He saw Claire and the baby enter a helicopter. That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is going to be rescued. And with the show lasting for a few more years, it is highly doubtful. Watch Claire, and Claire alone (I mean with child of course) leave during the finale.

That might explain how Ben is going to be at the tower waiting on them. She is spying on them for him.
If they just wanted to kill the signal - why not just chop the cable?
And I too thought it was interesting the two people that came out to 'greet' Charlie were both women. With the sub gone were these folks abandoned or what?
1-Does anyone think that Desmond's vision included the underwater hangout for the Swedish bikini team, which is why he volunteered to go in Charlie's place?
2-Something stinks with Jack and Juliette conveniently leading all the women to one location. Makes it easier to gather them "ALL" up.
3-Where was Sawyer the whole episode?
4-Pretty sure the cable to the Hourglass, was their cable TV. If their cable was cut, maybe the cable company would have come out to fix it, and rescued the survivors :)
I agree with Ray on point 2, I havent trusted Jack since he's been all googly-eyed over Juliette. I think that hooker is just playing him like a fiddle. She's up to something, whether or not Jack is in on it remains to be seen but she's dirty.
You know, I didnt even think about Sawyer being gone. Seems wierd they were looking for shooters and he wasnt there. Was there something that we missed last week about him?

Did he know there were people down there? Or maybe it will still be flooded at some later time (killing Charlie?)
Funny that 'The Looking Glass' has a rabbit symbol. Coincidence?
I remember the underwater station from earlier episodes. When Jack was first captured and held, it was in that underwater place. Not sure if its the same one or not but seems like it would be.
Definitely cant wait until the 2 hour finale!
