<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We so did not call ourselves Charlie's Angels. Desmond started it, and he is now a self-declared Charlie. Nonsense. He insist upon this picture, and it is now his Facebook profile picture. Give me a paper bag to wear, please.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Apparently, we're so hot that Benji even said this:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gerbies.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/crap.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-160" src="http://gerbies.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/crap.jpg" alt="" width="403" height="98" /></a><a href="http://gerbies.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/crap.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Nonsensical classmates. Scratch that. Nonsensical radiographers.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Imagine you're going to have your brain scanned by US! Just imagine...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Okay, you can stop now.<br />
Too much imagining can't be good for you, no?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Alright now, let's go hit the books again. My distal phalanges are aching from all these typing. I swear my carpal tunnel is going to get inflamed if I don't stop now. </p>

<p>Ayer mirando por Internet me encontré con esto que yo desconocia, para la cuarta temporada tenían finales alternativos, todos acababan igual, es decir, lo ultimo que se veia era la conversación entre Ben y Jack y por último se mostraba lo que había en el ataud y aquí vienen las pequeñas diferencias; en el final que nos mostraron a nosotros se puede ver a John Locke metido en la caja, pero quién serán los otros dos que se metieron ahi para hacer otros finales y que nadie desvelara el secreto??</p>
<p>Pues aquí van los videos</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/4yn2yI9oD3E'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/4yn2yI9oD3E&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Primer final alternativo </em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">el siguiente final alternativo</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/RYqegEpwiBI'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/RYqegEpwiBI&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Segundo final alternativo</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Pues si, los otros dos finales alternativos muestran en la caja a Sawyer y a Desmond.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">En la primera parte del final dividido en 3 partes, "no hay lugar como el hogar" es el decimosegundo episodio de esta emocionante temporada de Lost</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Veamos como me va, es que aunque fue un buen capitulo, de alguna manera aún no logro asimilarlo</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">There's no Place Like Home</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://es.lostpedia.com/es_images/thumb/3/38/O6Media.jpg/800px-O6Media.jpg" alt="" width="456" height="256" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">EN LA PLAYA</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Jack, convencido de que el helicoptero ha llegado para rescatarlos se va a buscarlo a pesar de los regaños de Juliet quien sugiere que se quede descansando ya que la heridad de la operación sigue fresca. Oyen a Keamy insistir a Frank para que aterrice, a lo que Frank se niega, Keamy da instrucciones de dirigirse a la Orquídea al llegar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Daniel busca en su diario información de la Orquídea y advierte a Charlotte que deben abandonar la isla cuanto antes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Bueno, no es secreto de nadie a estas alturas, el logo Dharma que vimos en la chaqueta de Ben en "The Shape of Things to Come" es el mismo de La Orquídea, por lo que podemos suponer que de la Orquídea de alguna extraña manera Ben aterriza en el desierto... esperemos que este tipo de explicaciones no queden en Cliffhanger, esperemos, aunque por como se ven las cosas, parece que muchos misterios serán resueltos... esperemos...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Que se supone debe suceder en la Orquídea que hace que Daniel se impaciente tanto, hasta donde supongo en La Orquídea lo más que se hace es mover la isla...¿no? ¿</em>?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<h3 style="text-align:center;">EN LA SELVA</h3>
<p>Kate nota que Jack sangra por la herida de la operación, pero Jack miente diciendo que es un proceso normal.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Al poco tiempo escuchan sonidos en la selva, se trata de Sawyer con Aaron en brazos y Miles quienes han desistido con la busqueda de Claire, y ahora se dirigen a la playa esperando que ella se encuentre allí...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Estoy cansando de leer por la web de Claire está muerta, que Miles cuando la veia la observaba de manera un tanto extraña y que se yo, así que, a regañadientes, daré mi brazo a torcer y diré que sí murio en la explosión de su casa... pero... ¿por qué Miles no dice la verdad, explica como rayos sabía de los cadaveres de Rousseau y Karl?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Lo malo, es que ya que aparentemente de momento no tendremos encuentro Mile/Jacob</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Jack quiere continuar, y le dice a Kate que cuide del bebé y que vuelva a la playa con Miles. Sawyer sigue con Jack para ayudarle. Los dos siguen la señal del teléfono hasta que llegan al helicóptero, en el que encuentran a Frank esposado.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sawyer parece no confiar en Frank pero Jack asegura que es de confianza, luego de ayudar a Lapidus este asegura que mientras Keamy y compañia estén en la isla, la isla no es un lugar seguro, también les habla sobre la Orquídea que es donde están los mercenarios y es donde se encontrarán esperando a Ben, es entonces cuando Sawyer dice a Jack que Hugo se encuentra con Ben y Locke por lo que deciden dirigirse a la Orquídea...</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">EN LA PLAYA</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sayid llega a la playa explicando el plan de ir llevando en el Zodiac a los sobrevivientes al carguero en grupos de 6. En ese momento Kate llega con Aaron en brazos y cuenta a Sayid lo sucedido, por eso Sayid ahora quiere seguir a Jack y a Sawyer, pero como solo Kate sabe el camino (bueno, Miles también, pero..) Daniel Faraday se ofrece para ayudar con el zodiac y el traslado, así que en el primer grupo de 6 se van Sun, a petición de Juliet por su condición, Jin y Aaron, quien estregado a Sun por Kate, ah, y otros 3 sobrevivientes que deben estar más que felices por aparecer un ratico en pantalla...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://es.lostpedia.com/es_images/thumb/7/7a/ASJRaft.jpg/800px-ASJRaft.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="261" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Y así sabemos más o menos como es que Aaron sale de la isla, pero esto solo me hace pensar que Desmond mintió a Charlie para que este se quedase tranquilo, bueno, digamos que en efecto, sí vio a Claire subir a un helicoptero, pero conociendo "la verdad" de los 6 de Oceanic,  existe la no descartada posibilidad de un regreso a la isla, y según entrevistas, en ningún momento se dice con exactitud, Claire está muerta, simplemente está por ahí, así que quizas la hermanita de Jack algún día salga de el extraño estado en el que anda, y en efecto, salga en un helicoptero como lo predijo el buen Desmond...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sayid y Kate se adentran a la isla para buscar a Jack y Sawyer, en el camino ella nota que hay pisadas recientes y no son las de ellos precisamente...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Ahora, digo... no es sexismo, por si acaso, pero particularmente no veo, ni nunca he visto a Kate como el tipo de personas capaz de percibir esto, te lo creo de Sayid, Locke e incluso de Juliet, y la desaparecida Ana Lucía, pero no Kate... Ok, mató a su padre, vaya, se necesitan bastantes <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">bolas</span> ovarios para hacer lo que ella hizo pero esto no la convierte en una Indiana Jones o quizas en un guerrero Z capaz de sentir el ki de los que están cerca, pero también creo que no es secreto de nadie que originalmente se pretendía que Kate Austen fuera la gran heroina, tal como lo pinta Jack en el juicio que le hacen al salir de la isla, así que esto capaz y es más debido a la simpatía que puedan sentir los escritores o directores por el personaje que otra cosa.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sayid pide a quienes le siguen que salgan de donde están, Richard Alpert</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>ALPERT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Alpert aparece entre los arbustos, Kate y Sayid le apuntan con sus armas para que se detenga pero Richard sigue avanzando mientras pide que se calmen. Kate y Sayid continúan amenazandolo y entonces un grupo de otros aparece apuntando con sus armas, Richard toma las de Kate y Sayid y se los llevan...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://es.lostpedia.com/es_images/a/ac/Richard-with-kate-sayid.jpg" alt="" width="447" height="257" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Sinceramente dudo mucho que Alpert se los haya llevado con intenciones de echar vaina antes de que se acabe la temporada, supongo que las intenciones de los otros es crear una especie de plan de ataque...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Otro asunto, y espero haberlo comentado en el capitulo anterior...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Si el actor, Nestor Carbonell</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>ALPERT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Hubiera tenido exito con Cane y hubiera mantenido su decisión de no volver a la serie, ¿a cual Otro hubiesen colocado aquí? </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>¿A un resuerectado Mikhail? </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Es que Los otros que conocemos han muerto... bueno, me viene un nombre a la mente... Harper, pudieron haber usado el personaje... ¿Por cierto, la volveremos a ver? digo, eso de que se le apareciera a Juliet y hablara sobre Daniel y Charlotte está bastante raro, como muchas cosas en la isla, y digo, esto no fue una alucinación de Juliet o no pudo serlo ya que la información más exacta imposible, lo que no estaba bien eran las intenciones de Daniel y Charlotte</em></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">EN EL KAHANA</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Daniel llega al carguero con los seis supervivientes. Desmond los ayuda a subir y luego Daniel vuelve a la playa por más gente, entonces Michael dice a Des que los motores están arreglados...</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Permitan detenerme un momento aquí...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Quizas como en la primera y quizas la segunda temporada aún no estaba tan, pero tan metido en la serie no me di cuenta pero igual, que yo recuerde Michael es acaso un mecanico estrella, alguien que sabe sobre ese tipo de cosas???</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Lo que yo recuerdo de Michael es que es un talentoso dibujante, desempleado, que recibe cachos de la mujer que amó a quien embarazó y cuyo hijo no conoció sino poco tiempo antes del accidente...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Donde está el Michael que trabajó en Pimp my Yacht???</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Quizas sea lo que dije al comienzo, y me estoy olvidando de algún detalle de la vida de Michael, </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Desmond se va al puente de mando. allí, Hendricks, que ahora hace de timonel, prueba los motores, que al fin funcionan. Sin embargo, no pueden acercarse a la Isla porque hay alguna interferencia que evita que pueda ver el arrecife. También dice que esa interferencia está viniendo del propio barco. Desmond dice que encontrará la fuente y la apagará.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Jin y Sun están en cubierta hablando con Michael, que les explica la situación. Sun está sorprendida por verle trabajar para Ben, pero Michael dice que no está trabajando para él, sino intentar redimirse por lo que hizo. Desmond aparece corriendo pidiendo ayuda. Michael, Jin y Sun (llevando a Aaron) le siguen, y aparecen en una habitación llena de explosivos. Jin le dice a Sun que salga de la habitación.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Así podemos deducir que el cosito verde que vemos en el brazo de Keamy antes de partir nuevamente a la isla es una especie de control remoto para hacer estallar el C4.</em></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Hacia la orquídea</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Ben lleva a Locke y a Hurley por la jungla. Les explica que si tenían que mover la Isla, como Jacob le había dicho a John, sólo había un lugar desde el que se podía hacer: la estación de la Orquídea. Durante el camino, Ben encuentra una formación rocosa y saca un baúl escondido. Dentro hay un espejo para hacer señales, una caja con galletas de la Iniciativa DHARMA y unos prismáticos. Locke le da la lata a Hurley, que la abre y empieza a comerse las galletas que hay dentro.</p>
<div class="thumb tright">

</a></div>
</div>
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Después de decirle que las galletas llevan quince años ahí, Ben utiliza el espejo para hacer señales de luz a alguien en una colina cercana.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://es.lostpedia.com/es_images/thumb/7/7a/Benmirror.jpg/800px-Benmirror.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="264" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>En una colina, muy, muy lejana...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Así es como nos dicen...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Recuerdan a los otros que dirigía Ben?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Allí están...</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">La persona en la colina responde con otra señal de luz. Locke toma los prismáticos y le pregunta a Ben que ha dicho con la señal. Ben le contesta diciendo que no es de su incumbencia.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Más tarde, los tres llegan a la Orquídea, y descubren que el equipo de Keamy ya está allí esperándolos. Ben le da a Locke instrucciones muy específicas sobre lo que tiene que hacer una vez esté dentro de la estación, le entrega su vara extensible y se dirige a donde está el equipo de Keamy. Ben se rinde. Keamy le apunta con una pistola, y después le golpea con ella.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong>FLASHFORWARDS</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://es.lostpedia.com/es_images/thumb/2/28/O6FamilyFF.jpg/800px-O6FamilyFF.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="247" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dos pilotos están en la cabina de un avión. Uno de ellos le dice al otro que deje de tocar la pata de conejo que tiene en la mano, ya que le está poniendo nervioso. El otro le dice que la necesita, teniendo en cuenta la carga que están llevando. Karen Decker, una representante de Oceanic Airlines, está sentada detrás de ellos. Los pilotos le dicen a Decker que ya están aproximándose.</p>
<div class="thumb tright" style="text-align:center;">
<div class="thumbinner" style="width:182px;"><a class="image" title="Las familias de los Seis de Oceanic" href="http://es.lostpedia.com/wiki/Imagen:O6FamilyFF.jpg"></a></p>
<div class="thumbcaption">

</a></div>
</div>
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Los 6 de Oceanic están a bordo de una aeronave de transporte de la Guardia Costera de los Estados Unidos, y se dirigen a una instalación militar al oeste de Honolulu. Decker les dice que sus familias están esperando y que no tienen por qué hablar con la prensa. Jack insiste en que hablarán con ellos. La mujer se va y Jack le dice a los demás que cuenten la historia y que si no tienen respuesta a alguna pregunta, simplemente que se queden callados, ya que la prensa asumirán que están en shock. Sun le contesta diciendo que <em>están</em> en shock.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Los Seis bajan del avión. Carmen y David Reyes, el señor y la Sra. Paik y Margo Shephard están esperándolos. Sayid y Kate no tienen a nadie esperándolos. Hugo abraza a sus padres y les presenta a Sayid. Kate simplemente espera abrazada a Aaron y mira alrededor, sola.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Más adelante, Oceanic Airlines da una conferencia de prensa con los 6 de Oceanic. Karen Decker presenta la historia de cómo sobrevivieron los Seis, y luego la prensa empieza a preguntar. A Jack le preguntan cómo fue el accidente. y Jack dice que todo pasó muy rápido. Él y unos pocos más llegaron a una de las puertas y salieron del avión. Se mantuvieron a flote utilizando los chalecos salvavidas hasta que la marea les llevó a la costa. Un periodista sugiere que, para el tiempo que han estado en una isla, tienen un muy buen aspecto. Hurley le pregunta si esa pregunta es por él, y el periodista le pregunta cómo será recuperar todo su dinero. Hurley dice que no lo quiere. Otra periodista le pregunta a Sun en coreano. Sun traduce lo que le ha preguntado: si Jin fue uno de los pasajeros que consiguió salir del avión. Ella dice que no, que murió en el accidente. Le pregunta a Kate cómo fue dar a luz a Aaron en la Isla, y ella contesta que fue terrorífico. En la conferencia de prensa, Aaron tenía unos cinco meses. El periodista dice que entonces debía estar embarazada de seis meses cuando fue detenida en Australia. La representante de Oceanic corta la pregunta y explica que el "tema legal de Kate" está fuera de la mesa. Cuando le preguntan por la posibilidad de encontrar más supervivientes, Sayid contesta: "No. En absoluto".</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>No sabría decir si fue totalmente a proposito pero me pareció que los periodistas fueron un tanto banales con las preguntas, quizas porque se aclaró que tenía restricciones, quizas porque a los escritores no se les ocurrió nada mejor, o quizas porque quisieron mostrar cuan plastico puede ser un periodista... digo... ¿Como fue tener un bebé en la isla? creo que la respuesta de Kate fue de lo mejor, tajante y sin revelar un co... </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Quizas demasiado tarde pero hasta ahora es que se me ocurre la posibilidad de que solo esten mintiendo para proteger al resto de los que quedaron en la isla, digo, miren la cantidad de m13rd45 asesinas vinieron por ahí.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Después de la conferencia de prensa, Karen le dice a Sayid que hay una mujer fuera que dice que le conoce: Noor Abed Jazeem. Sayid sale fuera y se encuentra con Nadia. Se abrazan.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Algún tiempo después, Sun entra en la oficina de su padre. Cuando llega, dos hombres están hablando con su padre sobre un incidente con cinco bancos. Sun pregunta si pasa algo y el Sr. Paik le dice que son cosas de la compañía y que no las entendería. Ella le acusa de haber odiado a Jin, y le dice que le considera una de las dos personas responsables de la muerte de Jin. Revela que Oceanic Airlines la ha pagado una gran indemnización, y que la ha utilizado para comprar acciones suficientes como para poder tener control en Industrias Pesadas Paik. Le dice que una vez haya tenido al bebé, discutirán sobre el futuro de la empresa.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Hurley llega a su casa, que parece vacía. Empieza a asustarse cuando descubre un coco en el suelo y empieza a escuchar susurros. Coge una pequeña estatua de Jesucristo para utilizarla como arma, y empieza a moverse lentamente hacia el origen de las voces. Cuando abre la puerta descubre que los susurros son en realidad toda su familia y sus amigos, que le habían preparado una fiesta sorpresa por su cumpleaños. Su madre le riñe por pensar en utilizar una estatua como arma. En la fiesta están Sayid, Nadia, Kate y Aaron. Kate menciona que Jack llegará tarde. El padre de Hurley le lleva a un lado para darle su regalo de cumpleaños, que es el Camaro en el que habían trabajado cuando Hurley era un niño. Le dice que cuando pensaba que habia muerto había empezado a trabajar en el coche como tributo a su hijo. Le da las llaves a Hurley y entran en el coche para dar una vuelta, pero Hurley sa da cuenta de que los números están en el cuentakilómetros. Sale inmediatamente del coche y se va corriendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Diez meses tras el accidente, Jack habla en el funeral de su padre.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Como siempre, quizas esté equivocado, yo soy medio despistado pero... no era este el funeral del que veiamos a Jack saliendo en Through the looking Glass?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Expresa remordimiento por no tener el cuerpo presente, y dice que le amaba. Después de la ceremonia, Carole Littleton se acerca a él. Le explica su historia, revelando a Jack que Claire (quien ella cree que él nunca ha conocido) era su hermana y que también estaba en el avión. Carole se acerca a Kate, que está sosteniendo a Aaron, y le dice que tiene un bebé precioso, sin saber que es su nieto.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Uff que escena, sobretodo la cara de perplejo que pone Jack, tanto tiempo compartiendo con su hermana y ni idea, lo peor, se vino con el sobrino y NPI, pero si sabemos entonces que para el momento que tiene el lío con Kate donde le dice que "ni siquiera eres familia suya" él ya sabe que vive con su sobrino, ¿pero Kate lo sabe?</em></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em>En general un muy buen capitulo, resolviendo misterios, quizas no todos los que quisieramos pero sí algunos.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And frankly they're not half bad. Their name is the <strong><a href="http://www.clevelandcitystars.com/" target="_blank">Cleveland City Stars</a>. </strong>The team, which play their matches at Krenzler Field was founded in 2006. The are a member of the <a href="http://www.uslsoccer.com/">USL</a> <a href="http://usl2.uslsoccer.com/index.html">Second Division</a> (which is the lower Division) and played their inaugural season in 2007. They came out of the gate hot winning their first 9 matches. They ended the season undefeated at home taking the 2nd seed in the playoffs. They eventually lost to eventual Second Division Champions Harrisburg 1-0. The banner first season didn't go unnoticed--at least by the USL.  After the season they may not have had a <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">championship trophy </span>but their case was still filled. The franchise took home:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">USL-2 Defender of the Year (Mark Schulte)<br />
USL-2 Coach of the Year (Martin Rennie)<br />
USL-2 Executive of the Year (Mark Geissbauer)<br />
Marketing Excellence Award<br />
USL Rookie Franchise of the Year</span></strong></p>
<p>A promising beginning that had a familiar theme for Cleveland fans <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">(there's always next year).</span> What was next for the club? A <a href="http://www.sportstimeohio.com/blogDetail.php?blgId=74">T.V deal </a>of course. On April 7, 2008, the City Stars announced a deal with <a title="SportsTime Ohio" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SportsTime_Ohio">SportsTime Ohio</a> that will see all of the team's home games aired on the station. Each match will air tape delayed on game night. Replays will be aired on Sundays. Play-by-play and color commentary will be provided by <a title="Desmond Armstrong" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Armstrong">Desmond Armstrong</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" title="1994 World Cup" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_World_Cup">1994 World Cup</a> TV commentator and former US national team player, and Glen Duerr, a former City Stars player.</p>
<p>The City Stars are owned by Cleveland Soccer Foundation, a 501 non for profit organization. They have a mission an a motto--"Serving the city, changing the world." They hold free clinics in cities around Cleveland.</p>
<p>In 2008 they've played been near the top of the table as well. Currently they're in second place with 23 points (after 13 matches) 5 points behind the <a href="http://www.charlotteeagles.com/">Charlotte Eagles</a>.  At home the <strong><span style="color:#008000;">Green Army </span></strong>has gone 3-0-3 scoring 9 goal while allowing only 1. Average attendance in 2007 was about 1,417. The team played the <a href="http://columbus.crew.mlsnet.com/t102/index_no_ad.jsp">Columbus  Crew </a>to a 2-2 draw in a reserve friendly. The Crew needed a late score to secure the draw. They moved into the third round of The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open cup, but their goal of defeating an <a href="http://web.mlsnet.com/index.jsp">MLS </a>club fell short when they lost 4-1 to <a href="http://chicago.fire.mlsnet.com/t100/index.jsp">Chicago Fire</a>.</p>

<p>Information leaked to the local press in Botswana indicate that the military in that country is ready to take on Zimbabwe unilaterally if leaders of Southern Africa fail to act soon.</p>
<p>Bishop Desmond Tutu has said that force is justified to bring peace and enable negotiation in Zimbabwe and Kenya’s Prime Minister Raila Odinga has asked the AU to deploy peace-keeping forces in that troubled, once-prosperous country.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Where &amp; How
On to the where.  Getting to and from the island is obviously hard work.  The island]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Where &#38; How</h2>
<p>On to the where.  Getting to and from the island is obviously hard work.  The island could be anywhere or any..when(?) in the world.  So first you have to locate it, which is notoriously hard, it took Charles who knows how long to find it.  And the only reason Penny found it was because of the Swan implosion/explosion, and by tracking Desmond's phone call.</p>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ben-01.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-109" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/ben-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="161" /></a>There are some that we know did get on and off the island.  We know Ben has been off the island, hence all the passports and the notoriety at the Tunisian hotel.  We know Mr. Friendly (Tom) has been on and off the island.  And Richard, Ethan went to pick up Juliet.  Also Charlotte has apparently been looking for where she was born so she can be added to the list.  Daniel too seems to have some insight as to whats happening with the island.</p>
<p>So here goes.  I am having a very hard time coming up with a theory about this, and I'm sure I'll have another go at this before season 5 starts.  I propose that Ben needs the help of one of two other people to find the island.  He might even need the help of both of them (and it just happens that these are two of my favorite characters).</p>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/richard-01.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-111" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/richard-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a>He'll need someone from the island, to invite him back.  Since he turned the Frozen Donkey Wheel he won't be able to find the island again, he's essentially banished.  I believe the person to invite him back is Richard.  Richard, as you may recall, has been on and off the island in the past, he visited Locke as a child (I am assuming he lived on the island at that time).  Richard also went to pick up Juliet.  When he went to get Juliet, they said they went in the submarine, the same submarine that Locke supposedly blew-up (I don't believe that he did, but I also don't think that's how they get on and off the island).  We don't know exactly how the trip went because Juliet was asleep during the journey, Ethan just said in a suspicious way that the last leg is always a little bumpy, maybe he's talking about the fact that people usually go crazy when the come to the island, I'm supposing otherwise.  The fact that we don't know exactly how they get back leads me to believe something special happened.  And I don't think special things could happen on the submarine.  So what I think is that they didn't get to the island on the submarine, they only used that as a prop so as to not scare Juliet, and they used other, more exciting means to get there, why else would you sedate the person you were transferring.  So let's say there are paranormal means to get on and off the island, why not use such means with the man who has likely used them the most, Richard.</p>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/daniel-01.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-110" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/daniel-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>But what if the answer is more science than fiction.  In that circumstance Jack and Ben will need someone smart.  Someone who understands the phenomenon of the island.  Maybe someone who seems to know a lot about Dharma and their experiments.  A person who's good at lateral thinking.  Who could that be?  You're right!  Good ol' Daniel.  I think that Daniel coming back in season 5 will be just what Jack and Co. needs to get back.  If there is something that Ben can't figure out, Daniel would be the ideal candidate to make sense of it.  And if the island did move in both time and space it will be very hard to find, and likely it would take some serious calculations, calculations that someone like Daniel could do in a heartbeat.  (Note: if Daniel did come back to find the island this would be a perfect chance for him and the writers to explain the <a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/season-4-finale-the-island-moving-part-2/">Icosahedron Theory</a>.)</p>
<p>The problem with these ideas is that the main characters in them are no where to be found.  Richard was definitely on the island when it left, and I doubt he's going to come running to Ben when he has Locke on the island.  And poor Daniel is who knows where.  Since it seems to me that the island has jumped in both time and space and Daniel was halfway out to sea when it happened, poor Daniel could be anywhere.  I've talked about all of this in this <a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/season-4-finale-jins-fate-daniels-fate/">post</a>.  It'll be quite an undertaking to find the island but I'll bet Daniel and/or Richard will be involved in the return.</p>
<p>Come back on Friday when I kick off my season 1 reviews.  After that I'll have three reviews a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many different types of logical fallacies.  A fallacy is simply an error in one's logic.  It is a mistake in one's thinking. </p>
<p><strong>The Red Herring</strong></p>
<p>One particular type of fallacy is the red herring.  A red herring one way people sometimes us to avoid answering a question of answering an argument.  It is basically anything that distracts from the question or argument.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<p>Bob: What were you doing today?<br />
Ted: Did you know that you have a red hat one?</p>
<p>This is a very simple example.  Bob asks Ted a question.  Ted does not want to answer it, so he completely changes the subject. </p>
<p><strong>Definition</strong></p>
<p>A red herring is the introduction of an irrelevant point.  Sometimes people do not even realise that they are introducing a red herring - other times they want <em>us</em> to not realise that they are giving us a red herring.</p>
<p><strong>Origin of the Term "Red Herring"</strong></p>
<p>A red herring is a dead fish.  It is a fish that has become rotten and smelly.  Dog trainers used red herrings to train their dogs to not be distracted from the animal they were tracking.  The trainers would drag a red herring across the trail of the animal that the dog was tracking.  When the dog reached to point where the red herring had been dragged across the trail, he would have to decide which trail to follow.  When people use red herrings in an argument, you have to decide whether to follow their red herring or continue along with the same argument as before.</p>
<p><strong>Source</strong></p>
<p>I got the information for this post from a book called <em>The Fallacy Detective </em>by Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La noche del lunes 30 de junio al fin terminó la Cuarta Temporada de Lost en México, transmitida por AXN.  Asi que ya soy libre de hablar del tema.  <strong>-OJO- </strong> si alguien no lo ha visto y no quiere enterarse, no seguir leyendo porque viene el resumen del final para poder hacer un foro abierto entre fanáticos (invitados principales <a href="http://manijita.blogspot.com/">Manijeh</a>, <a href="http://simitrioq.wordpress.com/">Simitrio</a>, <a href="http://opinionestampicomty.blogspot.com/">Celiux</a>) y los que se apunten.</p>
<p>En esta temporada los personajes, la isla, los otros, y la gente de Widmore han cerrado algunas líneas de relato y a su vez han abierto otras.</p>
<p><strong>RESUMEN </strong><em>(traducido al español por Gaviota (RM))</em><strong>:</strong></p>
<p>En los flashforwards, los Oceanic Six - Jack Shephard, Kate Austin, Sayid Jarrah, Sun-Hwa Kwon, Hugo "Hurley" Reyes y el bebé de Claire Litterton, Aaron, llegan a Honolulú en donde son recibidos por los padres de Sun, la madre de Jack, y los padres de Hugo.  En la conferencia de prensa, los Oceanic Six dan una historia falsa a numerosos reporteros de todo el mundo.  Saliendo de la conferencia, Sayid se reúne afuera con Noor Abed "Nadia" Jazeem, su antigua novia.  Tiempo después, Sun visita a su padre en Corea y le dice que él es uno de los culpables de la muerte de Jin, su esposo, y en venganza, utiliza la compensación que le otorga Oceanic Airlines para comprar una parte importante de las acciones de su empresa.   En Estados Unidos, los padres de Hurley, le organizan una fiesta de cumpleaños sorpresa a su hijo y le regalan un Camaro antiguo.  Hugo está feliz con su regalo hasta que descubre que el odómetro muestra los Números, los cuáles le ocasionan un ataque de pánico y escapa corriendo.  En el flashforward final, Jack da un discurso en el funeral en memoria de su padre, Christian Shephard.  La madre de Claire, Carole Litterton, le confiesa a Jack que Claire es su media hermana.</p>
<p>En la isla, Jack y Kate siguen la señal del teléfono que arrojó desde el helicóptero Frank Lapidus.  En el camino se encuentran a James "Sawyer" Ford, Aaron y a Miles Straume; Kate toma al bebé y a Miles de regreso a la isla.  Jack y Sawyer se encuentran con Lapidus, quien ha sido esposado al helicóptero; están a punto de irse cuando deciden rescatar a Hurley de los mercenarios.  Mientras tanto, Sayid regresa a la playa en una balsa justo cuando Kate regresa.  Sayid y Kate van por Jack y Sawyer pero son capturados por Richard Alpert y los Otros.  Daniel Faraday empieza a transportar gente de la isla al barco; Sun, Jin, Aaron y otros tres sobrevivientes llegan al barco, para descubrir una gran cantidad de explosivos C4 abordo.</p>
<p>En su afán de mover la isla, Benjamin Linus, John Locke y Hurley llegan a la estación Orquídea, de la Iniciativa Dharma, que está encubierta entre un invernadero.  Ben envía a Locke a la parte "real" de la estación y se entrega a Martin Keamy y a los mercenarios, que habían llegado previamente.  Ben no está preocupado ya que él "siempre tiene un plan".</p>
<p>Jack y Sawyer van a la Orquídea en dónde se reunen con Hurley y Locke.  Jack y Locke discuten sobre la isla y John le suplica a Shephard que no se vaya porque no ha completado su misión en la misma.  Cuando Jack lo rechaza, entonces le dice tiene que mentir sobre la isla en cuanto se vayan para protegerla.  Mientras tanto Keamy, los mercenarios y su prisionero Ben, regresan al helicóptero.  Kate, Sayid y los Otros atacan a los mercenarios, a quienes matan, excepto a Keamy, quien finge estar muerto.  Los Otros intercambian a Ben y permiten que Kate y Sayid abandonen la isla en el helicóptero.  Ben va a la Orquídea, en donde le dice a Jack que se vaya lo más pronto posible, y toma un elevador con Locke.</p>
<p>Dentro de la cámara subterránea, Ben, molesto por las preguntas de Locke, le dice que vea el vídeo explicativo de la Orquídea.  En lo que Locke lo mira, Ben pone todos los artículos metálicos que encuentra dentro de una cápsula, cosa que consterna a Locke porque el vídeo explica que no se debe de hacer.   El vídeo comienza a discutir sobre el viaje en el tiempo y la videocassetera se descompone.  Locke de nuevo le pregunta a Ben y este último no le responde nada.  En eso Keamy entra a la Orquídea y le dice a Locke que si él muere, la bomba en el barco explotará porque el detonador se activará si el monitor que lleva deja de detectar su ritmo cardiaco.</p>
<p>Ben, enfurecido por la muerte de Alex, mata a Keamy sin remordimiento alguno por los que están en el barco.  Ben le dice a Locke que sea el líder de los Otros, y le indica dónde puede encontrarlos.  Se despiden y los Otros dan la bienvenida a casa a Locke.</p>
<p>Ben sella la cápsula dónde ha colocado los artículos metálicos y la enciende, generando un agujero en la parte trasera del compartimento.  Después de ponerse una chaqueta, Ben baja por el agujero y llega a una cámara congelada, y descendiendo, se hiere un brazo. Después da vueltas a una rueda de metal, para iniciar el proceso de mover la isla.  Cuanto termina de rotarla, suspirando y aparentemente arrepentido de su acción, una luz blanca envuelve a la isla.  (En el episodio de <em>The Shape of Things to Come</em>, Ben aparece en el desierto del Sahara vistiendo esa chaqueta y con el brazo herido).</p>
<p>Jack, Kate, Sayid, Sawyer, Hurley y Frank Lapidus abandonan la isla en el helicóptero, pero descubren una fuga de combustible, ocasionada por la balacera que tuvieron los mercenarios y los Otros.  Para aligerar la carga del helicóptero, Sawyer salta al mar, no sin antes susurrarle algo a Kate en el oído y besarla.  El helicóptero alcanza a llegar al barco, cargarle combustible, arreglar la fuga, recoger a Desmond, Sun y Aaron e irse antes de que explote, aparentemente matando a Michael, Jin y al resto de la tripulación.  Antes de la explosión, Christian Shephard se le aparece a Michael diciéndole "ya te puedes ir".  Daniel, quien está llevando un grupo de gente de la isla al barco, se da la vuelta.  Sawyer regresa nadando a la isla, en donde encuentra a Juliet tomando ron, viendo tristemente el humo causado por la explosión del barco.</p>
<p>La gente del helicóptero decide regresar a la isla, pero en lo que se acercan, ven que la isla desaparece enmedio de una luz blanca.  No teniendo en dónde aterrizar, se quedan sin combustible y son forzados a saltar al mar.  Estando en la balsa inflable del helicóptero, Hurley comenta que Locke tuvo éxito moviendo la isla.  Jack se molesta y le dice que no está de acuerdo.  Por la noche, son encontrados por un barco propiedad de Penélope Widmore.  Jack les dice a los sobrevivientes que deberán mentir acerca de lo que pasó en la isla para proteger a los que se quedaron.  Desmond y Penny al fin se reúnen.  Todos están de acuerdo en mentir y hacen un plan para que los Oceanic Six lleguen a una pequeña isla de Indonesia con una historia sobre cómo sobrevivieron después del accidente aéreo.  Se despiden de Desmond y Frank y llegan a la isla de Mumbata, a unas 3,000 millas de dónde fueron encontrados.</p>
<p>En los flashforwards, Kate, Jack y Walt comentan ser visitados por Jeremy Bentham, el hombre a cuyo funeral asiste Jack.  En Londres, Sun se encuentra con Charles Widmore y le dice que tienen intereses en común. Sayid mata a un tipo en el manicomio y convence a Hurley a irse a un lugar seguro... no sin antes darle jaquemate en un juego de ajedrez imaginario con el fallecido Mr. Eko (pobre gordito, lo perdimos con tantos eventos).   Kate tiene un sueño en dónde Claire le dice que no lleve de regreso a Aaron a la isla.  En el flashforward final, Jack regresa a la funeraria en donde se confronta con Ben, que dice que la isla no permitirá que Jack regrese sin todos los que salieron de ella, incluyendo al difunto John Locke quien supuestamente ha estado contactando a los Oceanic Six con el alias de Jeremy Bentham.</p>
<p>¿Cuáles son sus teorías, mis queridos fanáticos?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my last season 4 finale post that I plan to write.  It is focusing on season 5 a lot.  Again I used to have a huge long post but I've split it up for ease of reading.  I've tried to make these some of the most significant posts that I can, they almost touches every character on the show, the ones that I don't talk about here I mention in my last few posts about Locke's on-island problems.  After this I am going to get started on reviewing old Lost episodes.  So stay tuned.  I'll also give you a few days to digest this post, so read on.</p>

<p>As far as setups go on Lost, that was a pretty satisfying one.  At the end of the finale the writers put in a scene in which Ben, the Mastermind, and Jack, the "Leader" (I still think he's an awful leader, but that's his favorite role), come together and join forces to accomplish one thing: Getting back to the island.  They have two obvious hurdles in doing this.  First they have to convince "all of them" to go back.  And then they have to find the island.  So we have to questions: Who? Where? &#38; How?  (Where and How are very similar so I'm grouping them together)</p>
<h2>Who?</h2>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/oceanic-6.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-99" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/oceanic-6.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>I guess what they were doing here is leaving season 5 very open ended.  By saying all of you have to go back, Ben left the possibility that he was only talking about the Oceanic 6 (and Locke) or maybe everyone who left in the finale (The Oceanic 6 + Desmond, Lapidus, maybe even Jin, Daniel, &#38; Walt).</p>
<p>I think having it open ended allows the show-runners to have more freedom with the casting.  For example Jeff Fahey the actor who played Frank Lapidus was a guest star all season (this actually led many people to believe that he would die).  But since he doesn't actually have any serious commitments to the show it is unlikely that he'll come back full time, there are a lot of actors like that.  I mentioned in an earlier <a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/season-4-finale-desmond-and-penny-reuniting/">post</a> that Henry Ian Cusick might not want to come back full time either (Updated, see comments below, I was way wrong on this, luckily).  So who really knows what's going to happen.  But who cares about the Hollywood side of Lost let's get back into the mythology.</p>
<p>Why does <strong>everyone</strong> need to go back to the island?  does the island not accept single people back onto the island?  Do they really need to go back as a group?  And who are those that have to go back?  I tend to believe that when Ben says you all need to go back, he means only the Oceanic survivors.  That means Jack, Kate, Sun, Hurley, Sayid, Locke.  There are three other people who are in a sort of gray area for me: Ji Yeon, Walt and Aaron.  I'll go through all of the characters separately (and backwards!).</p>
<h3>Aaron</h3>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/aaron.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-100" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/aaron.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>The stuff about Aaron is terribly confusing.  All paranormal signs advise guardians of that child to keep him in LA, and away from his blood relatives, I really don't know what to make of this.  I think we should obey them simply beaus whenever signs appear it usually means that death is around the corner.  So I doubt he'll be going back to the island, probably he'll stay with Kate's mom.</p>
<h3>Walt</h3>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/walt-04.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-102" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/walt-04.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>As for Walt, I believe it's his destiny to live on the island.  And I bet Jacob really wants him to come back too, or else he really doesn't want him to come back, in which case I think he definitely will go back (I like the way I think).  I'm not entirely sure what was happening with Walt in season 1 &#38; 2.  I know there was some kind of brainwashing, that was shown in the Missing Pieces, but I don't know if The Others kidnapped Walt because they just liked having slightly psychic children around or if it was because Jacob asked for The Others to take Walt, (maybe he was on Jacob's List).  Who knows, I just want Walt to come back, as I mentioned in my earlier <a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/season-4-finale-walts-surprise-appearance">post</a>.</p>
<h3>Ji Yeon</h3>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/sun.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-101" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/sun.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>I don't think Ji Yeon will be coming back.  I think since she wasn't conceived until they got onto the island and she wasn't born until they left, she isn't terribly important.  If you noticed, in the scene with Sun and Mr. Whidmore, Ji Yeon was said to be with Sun's mother.  I think that was a setup to imply that Sun could easily spend time away from Ji Yeon.  Not that I think that's a good thing, but it's an important story element.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I'll talk about more important people (namely adults), stay tuned.</p>

Episodio sexto de la primera temporada de la serie de Perdidos (1&#215;06: House of the Rising Sun]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://condensadordefluzo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/perdidos_adanyeva.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-276" src="http://condensadordefluzo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/perdidos_adanyeva.jpg?w=298" alt="" width="298" height="178" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Episodio sexto de la primera temporada de la serie de <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/" target="_blank"><strong>Perdidos</strong></a> (1x06: House of the Rising Sun, La Casa del Sol Naciente). <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008674/" target="_blank"><strong>Jack</strong></a> y <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008676/" target="_blank"><strong>Kate</strong></a> descubren dos cuerpos en las cuevas, a los que <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008671/" target="_blank">John Locke</a> </strong>denominó como <strong>Adán y Eva</strong>. Dentro de los cuerpos, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008674/" target="_blank"><strong>Jack</strong></a><strong> </strong>encontró en sus bolsillos dos piedras: una negra y otra blanca. Y así quedaba expuesto uno de los misterios de <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/" target="_blank"><strong>Perdidos</strong></a> de los que menos sabemos y de los que no hemos vuelto a saber practicamente nada.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hoy en <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>EL CONDENSADOR DE FLUZO</strong></span>, vamos a arrojar un poquito de luz sobre ello. A continuación más datos sobre los cuerpos de <strong>Adán y Eva</strong>, comentarios de los creadores al respecto y posibles identidades de los cuerpos.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hay spoilers así que puede que no quieras seguir leyendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>MÁS DATOS CONCRETOS QUE CONOCEMOS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">El deterioro de la ropa nos da alguna pista sobre su identidad. Según <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008674/" target="_blank"><strong>Jack</strong></a>, refleja que llevan muertos unos 40 o 50 años. Junto con las piedras son los únicos datos concretos que pueden servir como pistas. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008674/" target="_blank"><strong>Jack</strong></a> cogió esas piedras, y al menos en pantalla, no hemos visto que le haya revelado a <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008671/" target="_blank">John Locke</a> </strong><strong></strong>haberlas encontrado.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://condensadordefluzo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/perdidos_piedras.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-277" src="http://condensadordefluzo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/perdidos_piedras.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>COMENTARIOS Y PISTAS DE LOS CREADORES</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">En una entrevista de Marzo de 2.007 con <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0511541/" target="_blank"><strong>Damon Lindelof</strong></a> y <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193681/" target="_blank"><strong>Carlton Cuse</strong></a> (creadores de <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/" target="_blank"><strong>Perdidos</strong></a>), éstos aseguraron que <strong>el descubrimiento de Adán y Eva era la primera pista para enlazar con el tema de los viajes en el tiempo,</strong> demostrando así que desde el principio de la serie tenían algunas ideas claras.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">En otra entrevista, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193681/" target="_blank"><strong>Carlton Cuse</strong></a><strong> </strong>respondió:</p>
<blockquote><p>La respuesta a esa pregunta está en la <strong>línea temporal</strong> natural de la Isla. No queremos decir mucho sobre eso, pero hay un par de easter eggs en el episodio <strong>Not in Portland</strong>, uno de los cuales es <strong>un anagrama</strong> que actualmente arroja luz sobre los esqueletos y da pistas sobre <strong>un misterio mitológico mayor que empezará a destaparse más adelante </strong>(¿Quiza la capacidad para mover la isla y viajar en el tiempo?)</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0511541/" target="_blank"><strong>Damon Lindelof</strong></a><strong> </strong>añadió:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hay algunas cosas que sabemos desde el principio. Independientemente de que no sabíamos cómo sería el final, sabíamos qué iba a suceder, y empezamos a exponerlo en la primera temporada. Así que <strong>los esqueletos son la prueba viviente de ello</strong>. Cuando lleguemos al final la gente dirá, "esa es la prueba que desde el principio sabían lo que estaban haciendo"</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>UN ANAGRAMA QUE ARROJA LUZ A ESTE MISTERIO</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Como ya adelantamos en <strong>esta entrada</strong>, en el episodio <strong>Not in Portland</strong> existe un anagrama respecto a la compañia a la que representa <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008688/" target="_blank"><strong>Richard Alpert</strong></a>: <strong>Mittelos</strong> es un un anagrama de <strong>Lost Time</strong>. ¿Será este el anagrama al que hacen referencia? o ¿será otro?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>¿A QUIÉN PODRÍAN PERTENECER LOS CUERPOS?</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li><strong>Nativos antes de la llegada de Dharma</strong>: Quizá responsables de la creación de la estatua con el pie de cuatro dedos.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://condensadordefluzo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/perdidos_larocanegra.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-279" src="http://condensadordefluzo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/perdidos_larocanegra.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="159" /></a></p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li><strong>Supervivientes o descendientes de ellos de La Roca Negra</strong>: Podrían haber sobrevivido al naufragio. Aunque más que naufragio, dada la capacidad de moverse la isla en el espacio (¿y en el tiempo?) quiza la isla apareciera de repente y levantara al barco, quedandose este en mitad de la isla.</li>
<li><strong>Desmond y Penny</strong>: ¿Imagináis que al final de la serie se descubre que Adán y Eva son Desmond y Penny? Un grandioso final circular con viajes en el tiempo. Como nota importante añadir una cosa: En el episodio<strong> Flashes before your eyes</strong> se pueden ver las piedras negra y blanca (aunque algunos dicen que son solo tapones de cerveza)</li>
<li><strong>Bernard y Rose</strong>: Posiblemente ambos jamás abandonen la isla. Las piedras podrían ser una pista respeto a su etnia.</li>
<li><strong>Jacob y Leah</strong>: Dadas las referencias biblicas, en el último capítulo del Génesis, Jacob es enterrado en una cueva junto a Leah.</li>
<li><strong>Los padres de Charlotte</strong>: Dado que Charlotte ha revelado que ha nacido en la isla, ¿serán los esqueletos de sus padres?</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://condensadordefluzo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/perdidos_degroot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-278" src="http://condensadordefluzo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/perdidos_degroot.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="171" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Gerald DeGroot y Karen DeGroot</em></p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li><strong>Gerald DeGroot y Karen DeGroot</strong>: Los fundadores de la Iniciativa Dharma bien podrían ser Adán y Eva en esta historia.</li>
<li><strong>Amelia Earhart</strong> y <strong>Fred Noonan</strong>: Personajes del universo expandido de Perdidos en la red. Amelia Earhart y su copiloto Fred Noonan se supone que se perdieron durante unl vuelo en torno al año 1937.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:left;">Pero no son las únicas alternativas, hay otras que aunque aparentemente más inverosimiles, despiertan nuestro interes, ya que <strong>muchas revelarían más viajes temporales</strong> como los siguientes:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://condensadordefluzo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/perdidos_aaronjiyeon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-280" src="http://condensadordefluzo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/perdidos_aaronjiyeon.jpg?w=284" alt="" width="284" height="145" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Aaron Littleton y Ji-Yeon Kwon</em></p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>Aaron y Ji-Yeon</li>
<li>Ben y Annie</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:left;">Sería muy potito que fueran:</p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>Hugo y Libbie</li>
<li>Goodwin y Juliet</li>
<li>Charlie y Claire</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:left;">Y si no, siempre pueden ser alguna pareja formada por: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008674/" target="_blank"><strong>Jack</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008676/" target="_blank"><strong>Kate</strong></a>, <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0008678/" target="_blank">Sawyer</a></strong> y Juliet.</p>

5) Keamy Kills Al]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here's what I think are the top five moments of my favourite season of Lost.</p>
<h3><strong>5) Keamy Kills Alex</strong></h3>
<p>A truly shocking scene, I never would have expected Keamy to actually do it.  The look on Ben's face is what makes this moment.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Gmn3ZlTeSeI'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Gmn3ZlTeSeI&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<h3><strong>4) Desmond and Penny Reunite</strong></h3>
<p>My favourite character Desmond got what he always wanted, to be reunited with Penny.  This has always been my favourite relationship of the show and I never expected to have them reunited in the finale.  A beautiful, moving scene which did bring a tear to my eye.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/NOse6dGk5S4'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/NOse6dGk5S4&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<h3><strong>3) Here Comes Smokey</strong></h3>
<p>The only black smoke moment of the season but it's an incredible one.  Seeing smokey storm into Othersville like a freight train was a hell yeah moment.  Then seeing it decimate the commando's was too much fun.  Though the scene ends with poor Ben saying goodbye to Alex, a sad, calm scene around so much chaos.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/15CNQwiY5iE'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/15CNQwiY5iE&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<h3><strong>2) Ben Moves The Island</strong></h3>
<p>An underground part of the island that's frozen + a huge wheel to move the island = an astonishing Lost moment.  It's a moment which you can't help but feel sorry for Ben, this act will banish him from the island.  The shot of the island disappearing is wonderfully done.  The question now is, where or when did the island go to?</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/5iXLfws8V_A'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/5iXLfws8V_A&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<h3><strong>1) Desmond Finds His Constant</strong></h3>
<p>A moment from one of the best episodes of Lost.  This is an epic, emotional, beautifully acted scene.  No one can deny this scene ain't spectacular, it's all about destiny and love.  If you're a fan or not, this will move you, it moved me, even brought tears to my eyes.  It gives everyone hope that there's someone out there that you're destined to be with and how can you not like that.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Zmkmz0Kosa8'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Zmkmz0Kosa8&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>

<p>The cars were lined up in anticipation of the big race.  Team Desmond was ready and waiting to get the line up for the big event.  Would they start in lane one or lane two?  The Desmond recently partnered with the community as Title Sponsor of the 2008 Capital District Soap Box Derby and sponsored the Desmond Stock Car donated to and built by the students of The Brighter Choice Charter School for Boys in Albany.  10 year old Kalahri Cortina was the team's designated driver and his excitement at the starting line was evident along with that of his "Pit Crew".  Sporting their Team Desmond Shirts and Pit Crew caps, the boys anxiously awaited the first race.   With high fives to each other and to the public relations and events staff members of the hotel at their side, they were off to the starting ramps.</p>
<p>Kahlari started strong winning the first two heats moving on to the next phase of racing.  His next challenge, racing against a strong competitor who has raced for the last 3 years,  Kahlari faced his challenge and came close but was slightly behind at the finish line.  The boys raced from the top of the hill to greet Kahlari at the finish line and although they would not be moving on, the joy on their faces for having been able to participate and finish a strong 6th place could be seen on their faces. </p>
<p>The Desmond Hotel supports the goals of the Soap Box Derby program which have not changed since it began in 1934.  They are to teach youngsters some of the basic skills of workmanship, the spirit of competition, sportsmanship, and the perseverance to continue a project once it's begun. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/desmond-penny-01.jpg"></a><a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/desmond-penny-01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/desmond-penny-01.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>This post is more for me than anyone else.  If you were to ask me what my favorite parts of this season was I would say without a doubt the episode "The Constant" and the scene in the finale when Desmond and Penny get back together.</p>
<p><span><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/desmond-01.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-58" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/desmond-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a>For quite sometime I have agreed with a friend of mine, <span>HH</span>, who had said that she expected Desmond and Penny to reunite in the series finale of the show.  This made perfect sense to me, this is an epic love story, why not stretch it out until the end.  The comparisons of Desmond and Penny's story to Homer's The Odyssey are completely purposeful.  I would love to go into them, but that should be in another post, this one is more about the season 4 finale and beyond.  The reason I bring it up is just to say how it diverged from the legend in this last episode, (maybe).  You see, with <span>HH's</span> theory that Penny &#38; Desmond would hook up at the end of Lost it pretty much guaranteed that it would have happy ending, as does The Odyssey when Penelope and Odysseus are reunited.  Having Desmond and Penny reunite at the end of season four, of six, really worries me.  What's going to happen to them in the future?  The odds are low that they are going to have two worry free seasons.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/penny-01.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-59" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/penny-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>This surprise rendezvous of my favorite characters prompted me to try to think of why the writers would do this.  The first thing I thought of was the actors schedules.  They were worried that they wouldn't be able to get <a title="Sonya Walger" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0809497/"><span>Sonya <span>Walger</span></span></a> <span>(Penny) back this season because she is starring in an HBO show these days (and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles [also I just heard that Shirley Manson, from Garbage, is going to star in that show next year, now I'll have to watch it, I'm already embarrassed]).  So she is pretty busy, and </span><a title="Henry Ian Cusick" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193738/"><span>Henry Ian <span>Cusick</span> </span></a>is also a moderately busy actor who apparently hasn't been to into the TV series schedule.  He has also been on the show for three years which is the traditional contract that actors sign on for TV shows.  So does this mean that we won't see Penny and Desmond again?  I doubt it.</p>
<p>I do believe that they, mostly I mean Desmond, will have a more minor role, a very critical role but less in the forefront as in the last two season.  I'll bet they will become more of the guest star you look forward to seeing return, like Rousseau.  You don't expect to see them in every episode but when they do come up you know something important will happen.</p>
<p>These two apparently have a lot to deal with in the future.  Ben has promised to hunt down and kill Penny, and Desmond is pretty much going to have to live in secret.  Charles Widmore will definitely be unhappy when he finds out that Penny is back with Desmond.  So a lot can still happen to these two.  A strange thing that happened this season was that Desmond promised to never return to the island, that could go both ways though.  It might be good ol' fashion foreshadowing and it might mean that Desmond won't ever go back to the island.  Or it might be some good ol' fashion irony, maybe they are setting poor Desmond up for some tragedy, maybe he has to go back.  Or maybe there will be a time when he wants to go back, when the island might seem like the best place on Earth, the only place where both Ben and Whidmore can't find them.  I'm betting on the latter.</p>
<p>I know there is a little bit of speculation about whether Desmond has to go back to the island when Jack goes back, I don't know, I doubt it, but I'll talk about that in a later post.</p>
<p>Again I want everyone to know how happy I am about those two getting back together, for me, that was the highlight of the finale.</p>

<p> Owens, 31, was suspended on 5 November for criticising the Eagles, quarterback Donovan McNabb and for fighting with former team-mate Hugh Douglas.
<p> Two days later, the Eagles extended the suspension to four games.
<p> The Eagles were adjudged to have clearly proved the suspension was justified by the arbitrator.
<p> Philadelphia, currently struggling at 4-6 at the bottom of the AFC East, have made it clear they want Owens to play no further part in their season.
<p> In a statement, the club said: &#34;From this point, we look forward to moving on and will have no further comment on this issue.&#34;
<p> Owens is seen as one of the best wide receiver in the league, but the Eagles - who lost last season&#39;s Super Bowl to New England - have made it clear they are content to let him go.
<p> The player had been unhappy since the off-season, when the Eagles refused to renegotiate his seven-year, $48m contract.
<p> The NFL Players Association had argued that the suspension should be reduced and wanted to force the Eagles to either play Owens or release him. </p>

<description><![CDATA[So Sun really pulled that out her ass.  After 4 years with only one reaction to anything shocking (]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/sun-01.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-47" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/sun-01.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a>So Sun really pulled that out her ass.  After 4 years with only one reaction to anything shocking (her BIG eyes), she suddenly is hysterical.  I'm not quite sure if that was good acting or not, it was definitely noticeable, but maybe it was overacting (I'm wincing a little while I'm writing this, because Sun is such a nice person).  Yeah I couldn't help but notice in the last two episodes that poor Suns face is extraordinarily asymmetrical.  Apparently they've been getting good angles on her over the past four years, because I never even noticed.  Anyways, this discussion is really beside the point.</p>
<p>What was Sun thinking?  What I mean to say is, what did she think happened to Jin?  She kept screaming that they had to go back they had to get him, even after the freighter blew up.  Are these just the ravings of a hysterical woman?  Or does she really believe that Jin is alive?</p>
<p><a href="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/sun-whidmore.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-46" src="http://ncjl.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/sun-whidmore.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a>That brings us to the second subject, Sun talking to Charles Whidmore.  I suggest you all watch that scene again, you need to listen carefully to what she is saying to him.  She says two things that alarm me.  First that "we both have common interests" and "we aren't the only ones who got off the island".  This conversation should be taken into the context of two others.  During her take-over of Paik Industries she says her father is one of the two people she blames for Jin's death.  And in the last scene of this season when Jack is talking to Ben he says that Sun blames him, Jack, for Jin's death.  So it's extremely important to figure out what Sun was talking about when she was talking to Whidmore.  I think there are two possibilities.</p>
<p>Before I get to those possibilities I have to say how strange it is that Mr. Whidmore isn't the second person she blames for Jins death.  He was the one who funded the freighter trip and he made the "secondary protocol" which may or may not have included the stacks of C4.  Also Mr. Whidmore and Paik Industries are without a doubt connected, that was established in The Lost Experience and possibly in more subtle ways during the show (I can't really remember, just look it up on Lostpedia).  So who knows why Sun isn't just trying to kill Mr. Whidmore, it seems like she would want to.</p>
<p>Also, if Sun blames Jack does that make him her second target?  That seems a little out of character.  I believe that Jacks line was misdirection, I doubt Sun is very angry at Jack for leaving Jin behind, I'm sure after 3 years of thinking about that day she would see that they couldn't have landed on the freighter to get Jin.</p>
<p>Back to Suns conversation with Charles.</p>
<p>First possibility: Sun's a bitch.  Maybe Sun is talking about Desmond when she says "we aren't the only ones who got off the island".  And their common interests could be to find the island.  She might want to find it because she believes that Jin is still alive.</p>
<p>Second possibility: Locke talked to Sun.  Maybe Locke found post-island Sun and told her that Ben was the reason why the freighter blew up.  Maybe he explained to her that Ben killed Keamy knowing what the results would be.  So when she says they have common interests she means they both want to find Ben Linus.  And when she says we aren't the only ones who got off the island she means that Ben got off too, so we need to find him together and kill/beat him to a pulp.</p>
<p>So looking at the whole story, it's easier to believe that Sun isn't a bitch and wants to revenge Jins death by finding and punishing Ben.  I would hope that Sun isn't crazy enough to turn on poor Desmond.  But if she was to target Desmond then I think I might have a problem with her as a character.  I would rather have her die than anything happen to Desmond.</p>
<p>This gets back to the old debate, who is right Charles or Ben.  I think that in the future it's possible that Charles is on the sunnier side of morality.  Going after Ben after he threatens to kill Penny, in my opinion, is completely justified.  At the same time I don't like that Charles' actions led to the death of poor little Alex (a tear for Alex).  But maybe those weren't Keamy's orders.  I'm still torn about Ben, up until the end of his episode I thought he was the greatest character, I never wanted anything to happen to him, but after he promised to go after Penny... I just can't like him anymore.  I think I should write a post weighing the morality of Ben's actions and decisions, that would be fun.</p>
<p>Whoops I've forgotten about Sun, it's just so darn easy to do.  I hope she's still on the straight and narrow and that she is simply targeting Ben, or maybe even tricking Whidmore, but if not then bye-bye Sun.  You can see what the writers have done here, they've made a completely sidelined character suddenly powerful and dangerous, that is pretty impressive, Sun went from being the pregnant and dull visible minority to a threat to the most influential characters on the show, Charles and Ben.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright here's the video that's been floating around the internet:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#810081;">[redlasso id="aca2495f-f92c-4a42-8bed-c29673721547"]</span></span><a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20203864,00.html"></a></p>
<p>I know this could raise some anger in a few Lost viewers, maybe you could imply that the writers don't know here they are going with the storyline.  but I believe that these scenes were filmed not as true alternatives, but so that spoilers couldn't be leaked about who was in the coffin.</p>
<p>I avoid spoilers like the plague (the plague seems to be pretty easy to avoid these days, but that's neither here nor there) but apparently the plot to the finale was floating around the internet for weeks (according to Doc Jensons article <a title="Love 'em or hate 'em" href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20203864,00.html" target="_blank">here</a>) before it aired.  I think that's terrible, why would anyone want to read what's going to happen instead of watch it happen on TV.  I can understand that casual fans might want to know but all the casual Lost fans left last year in the season three hiatus.  Anywho I just don't enjoy spoilers, I'd rather just predict what's going to happen using <strong>critical thinking</strong>.  (on a side note, does anyone know why I think it's funny to have that phrase bolded?  In my mind I'm saying those words in that sentence in a deep loud voice.  I think it's come kind of pop-culture reference but I don't know where it's from.... maybe Family Guy)</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#999999;">As it all goes down, fans wait, watch and wilt till next season.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>There's No Place Like Home: Part 2 &#38; 3</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#808080;">By Bryce VanKooten</span></strong></p>
<p>Well, its all over.  At least for now.  How do we all feel?  Can we describe it all in one word?  Legit. Two words: deceptively inspiring?  I suppose we need a time machine to get out exactly how we feel.</p>
<p>This year we saw lots and lots of things happen.  Wait, no we didn’t.  The season started with the ever-fateful ‘the folks on The Freighter are coming to get us’ and ended with the incredible twist: ‘the folks on The Freighter, although tricksy little hobbits’s––did not get us'.  Granted, we got to meet Faraday (awesome, eccentric, all good things) and Charlotte (hmmm) and I’ll be the first to admit that I like them, but frankly––when all was said and done, plot wise... It was a simple season.</p>
<p>Remember first season when we saw a Hatch and were entertained just by the thought of it for about 15 episodes?  Or when we saw only the <em>feet</em> of The Others walking by––just a glimpse––and we had more Goosebumps than a 6th grade library?  Those were the days when nitwit fans were mixed in with the rest of the nuts and left to fight amongst themselves as to who would get the last handful of theory crumbs.  Nowadays though, where do we live?  What is it going to take to get us back to that state of wonderment without that nostalgic sense of hate we so often feel?  Can it be that we are too smart for our own good?   Always thinking outside the magic box, we can only be duped if hand-fed lies?  I say nah, but that’s closer than not.</p>
<p>If ever there was a breaking point for me, it was the end of Season 3. It was the first season where I had to moan along with the rest of the world week by week (or should I say, week off to week on) because I had used up my luxury of DVD seasons (see previous post <a title="The Logic-Free Fee" href="http://brycevankooten.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/lost-the-logic-free-fee/" target="_blank">Lost: The Logic-Free Fee</a>).  It was then when I sat back and said, “<em>Lost, I hereby swear I will disown you like a right-wing father to his hippie son if you don’t impress me beyond belief.</em>”  And like a true nonconforming child, it did.  There I was, watching Jack drink his life away–– popping pills like a MLB All-star thinking to myself, “Well, it looks like this is it. I have to quit. I gotta shut er’ off.”  And then it happened.  <em>They took me to the future</em>.  And like Never, Never, Land, I was hooked again.</p>
<p>When this year's finale rolled around, I can’t say I was in as angry of a place, but I can say that I wanted some <em>movement</em>.  When Desmond did his Marty McFly bit in <a title="The Constant" href="http://brycevankooten.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/lost-season-4-the-constant/" target="_blank">The Constant,</a> I went wild.  When Keamy went from ‘not that tough’ to ‘okay, he could be tough’ by going hard as <em>The Wire</em> and shooting Ben’s daughter, I coincidentally wanted to jump up and scream, “That’s what I’m talking about!”  You can’t have anyone to really love if you don’t have anyone to really hate.  Throw in a loathsome person like Benjamin Linus (who we all love, lets be honest) and you have a terrific show.  Leverage that dynamic with the island's properties and now we’re talking.  The Season 4 finale did just that.  It didn’t do <em>everything</em> I had hoped (i.e. reveal to us the/a time machine, show where the island went after it ducked below the surface, give us more insight into where Ben goes after banished, etc, etc), but it did enough.  I liked how the island disappeared.  I liked how Sun sold <em><strong>out</strong></em> for her final scene with Jin (fyi; that was heart wrenchingly painful to watch and I likely won’t watch it again; I liked Jin, I did.... I did). I liked how Sawyer was the man, again––if only for a little while.  He kind of went to that hey-don’t-forget-I’m-still-Sawyer place where he does things, almost subconsciously, just to show how much cooler than Jack he is.  I thought his jump was well placed and perfect. And if you didn’t hear what he said to Kate in the whisper, you can hear it <a title="What Sawyer tells Kate Lost Season 4 Finale" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5W2-dvSzKk" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Bottom line, this finale was like a punch in the belly button. A good punch, though.  It hurts a bit; torments you for a while, but its good to know that you can still feel.  You can still hurt–– and they still care enough to take the time and effort to punch you.</p>
