Season Six, Episode 9

Filler, filler, filler. After last week's episode, this one was bound to be a disappointment. No big breakthroughs. And the big surprise ending ... Desmond. Blah. They didn't really think we thought we'd seen the last of him, did they?

So, here's what we did get out of tonight's episode:
Hope that we will learn more about Dharma. David was so afraid that this was the end of Dharma. But with Whidmore back, we are getting more info about the magnetic energy. And we learned that Dharma was using subliminal message testing. So, what then was it Dharma was after, some sort of mind control? While we won't get it in a big dose, I do think little things like this will help us piece Dharma together.

Whidmore tells Easu smoke monster Locke he's heard about him in legends, horror stories, nightmare, etc ... And, he knows how to keep him at bay, with those big old smoke monster blockers. Further proof he's a bad, bad dude.

The missionary tells Jin that some people just aren't meant to be together. And that seems to be the case with Jin and Sun. They can't keep it together, both on and off the island. And, while we know one of them is a candidate, David thinks it's Jin because he was the one that was transported back to the '70s with the rest of the other candidates. I think he's on to something there.

And that's pretty much it. Man, LOST, one week it's caviar and champagne. And the next it's Shasta cola.

With nothing else to cover, I'll give my two cents on what the Harris clan thinks the series finale will be: We think the last episode will be a flashback to how Jacob and Easu got banished to the island. Now that would be some good TV.
