Wow… just wow. I’m not even sure how to start off this post after the events of last night’s episode. Needless to say, you shouldn’t really be reading this post if you haven’t seen the latest episode, “The Candidate”. I urge you to not read on if you haven’t seen it, no matter how little you care about spoilers. Add this post to your Instapaper queue or something and read it later.

Okay, so in all honesty if you’re reading this you’re probably here from my Twitter account, and thus are probably already watching at least some of these shows, if not all of them. Still, it’s my soapbox and I’ll preach to the choir if I want to.

“The last man on earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door.” – Fredric Brown
Whenever people ask me to describe why I love Lost so much, I’m normally at a loss for words. How can you describe something as amazing as Lost to someone who has never seen a single episode of the show? Without sounding crazy, I mean? Then I discovered the above quote. It perfectly describes what Lost means to me and, I assume, a lot of its viewers. The two sentences are in direct conflict with one another. The author is aware of this, you can be sure, but he offers no explanation, leaving you to decide what they mean. You can interpret them in any number of ways. The first sentence could be false, or the second. Perhaps the entire statement is a lie. Or perhaps it’s all true, but missing one essential piece of information that makes everything fit together. Through the curiosity you share with the man in the room, he becomes instantly relatable, and whoever is on the other side of the door is instantly fascinating. You become engaged in what’s happening, even though you know nothing about them. The entire scene described has left the page and entered your mind, leaving you to attempt to figure out what it all means until you reach a further explanation.

So this post is really late, and those of you who really care have probably already read all the Lost posts on the latest episode that you need to. Still, writing all this stuff out helps me to figure out what’s going on, so I’m doing it anyway. This past week saw the 11th episode of the final season of Lost, entitled “Everybody Loves Hugo.” Now if you take away one thing from this post let it be this: the writers are currently pushing in the direction of Hurley taking over Jacob’s position, and by the gods I hope that’s what happens.

Last week Damon Lindelof posted on his Twitter account that “In one week, the conversation [about Lost] is going to change.” Yesterday, Carlton Cuse also tweeted about the night’s episode, saying “Tonight a new chapter in the season commences.” And commence it did. Fully delivering on the hype, last night’s episode of Lost gave us some major revelations while bringing up some new mysteries that look to be the main focus of this season.

I had a pretty difficult time trying to write a post of any merit that wasn’t essentially a recap of last night’s episode of Lost. In the end I gave up, opting to go the route of compiling what we’ve learned so far this season, which is a lot. Forgive me if I miss something, as I’m just doing this from memory. I don’t even have a tab with Lostpedia open or anything!

We got a decent number of answers in tonight’s episode of Lost. I’m going to be talking about them as succinctly and quickly as possible, since I have a huge headache and am feeling somewhat under the weather. Ok? Let’s go!
