LOST and found

This is the blog where I'm going to freak out about the LOST Season 4 Finale, so if you don't want it to be spoiled, skip this one!

Background info: Okay, so we've never had a TV in the 3 years we've been married. It was a conscious choice, both probably reacting to how much our families of origin used the TV as a babysitter or social crutch instead of conversations... To each their own, so we decided not to have one our first year, and were so refreshed by that time that we just never got one. We use the internet for news, but it's been nice not to feel like our lives revolve around a little box. At times, with sports we love, World Cup or important basketball/baseball/football games, it's been tough; so we've found places we could go (a neighbor or friend or family) to see things we couldn't bear to miss... Then this year we started renting TV on DVD (a brilliant idea) and seeing if there were any series' we'd get into. The first couple were too dramatic or repetitive, but then we heeded the Wood's, Flory's, Kissinger's et al. advice and rented LOST. We were hooked. HOOKED. We started in January and have watched all four seasons in this time! Never before have we seen something so exciting, full of character development and adventure... Oh my gosh, and it was so painful to wait through real-time for a week, after being able to click on abc.com or the dvd's to find out what happens next! I hate surprises and the first 3 seasons, we never had to wonder, "WHAT will HAPPEN NEXT?!" because we could just find out! So now, after the two-hour finale of Season 4, what will we do with ourselves until January or whenever it comes back?! Dramatics aside, we'll be fine, and QUITE busy, but here are some reactions to last night that we talked about driving home:

In no particular order:
Michael- don't mind if he's dead, never forgave him for Anna Lucia and Libby (I liked them)
Claire and Jin- we HOPE they're not dead
Christian- since when does he get to be Jacob's spokesman?
Claire's mom- SO GLAD that Jack finally knows Aaron is his nephew
Sun- You go girl, loved how she's getting bolder and laying the smack down with her dad and Mr. Widmore
Desmond and Penny- YAY!!!!!
Charlotte- was she born on the island, what the?! And what was that annoying Cambodian guy sticking around for?!
Daniel- was the boat back before the island disappeared?
Island- you disappeared, what the crap?!
Sawyer and Juliet- left behind... interesting. Love both of them. "Hey, Kenny Rogers," ha ha! His nicknames are amazing.
Keamy- suck it, you deserved it.
Ben- don't be so creepy stabbing him, "You killed my daughter!!!". Felt like a horror flick for a second there.
Locke- or should I say, Jeremy Bentham? How does he get off the island?
Richard- how is he the same age when Locke is born to now? And he wears too much eye-liner. Keamy called him Ben's boyfriend, hah.
Kate- how can she go back with a court order to stay in CA?
Sayid- killing machine, we're sad Nadia was taken from him:( Who's spying on them?
Hurley- LOVE that he's playing chess with Mr. Eko (our favorite Nigerian) and hanging out with Charley.
Jack- "See you in another life, brother." Love it!
