Since the release of the tenth Glee 2 episode, we are now left with half of the season done…and Glee has never been more popular than ever. With jaw-dropping wordwide ratings on each episode, iTunes sales, and countless of guest stars, Glee has now become a household name. But let’s not forget what really made Glee as popular as it is today…the music. So I made this list counting down my Top 10 list of my favorable Glee 2.0 musical numbers. Please feel free to state your Top 10 as well.

Ready? Here we go…

10. The Only Exception

From: “Britney/Brittany” (2x02)

Why: As much as I hate overacting (and believe me, I do), Lea Michele’s particular overacting in this number worked on me. I dunno, but after watching Finn and Rachel for a whole fuckin’ season getting together, breaking up then getting together again happening more rapidly than a ugly-ass Filipina gold digger hitting on a lonely middle-aged American meale„ it’s just a peace to see that they’re finally in the same place (well, for at least a while). And also, the intercutting scene in the locker made me go “aww” (that’s saying something; I hate kilig moments).

9. Hot Honey Rag / Nowadays

From: “The Substitute” (2x07)

Why: Two words: MACHINE GUNS. ‘nuff said.

8. Valerie

From: “Special Education” (2x09)

Why: At first, I HATED the episode, ergo, I hated everything about the episode as well (except for Brittany, of course). But after watching the episode for a third time, I still hated the episode, yet I found myself loving this particular number. I mean, what’s not to like? The beat’s pretty catchy. Santana rocked the song. There was heart in it. It’s Glee old-school-style to me.

7. Me Against the Music

From: “Britney/Brittany” (2x02)

Why: Although this number was an exact replica of the original music video, it’s still pretty breath-taking to see Santana and Brittany perfom. The two definitely have chemistry (and we get to see some of that sexually in the fourth episode (FUCK YEAH)), and not to mention the dance moves were SICK.

6. Touch A, Touch A, Touch A, Touch Me

 From: “The Rocky Horror Glee Show” (2x05)

Why: As a Rocky Horror fan, I very much enjoyed the hell out of this episode. All the references, the homages, all of it was just awesome. One of the things that really stood out, of course, was the very much controversial “Touch A” number. Emma singing it was a perfect fit, it was hella fun watching Santana and Brittany reacting to what was going on, and the “creature of the night” moment at the end was a great reference to the original number in the Rocky Horror movie.

5. Hey, Soul Sister

 From: “Special Education” (2x09)

Why: I may be letting my love for the original song getting involved with my decision as this being one of my top ten performances or not, but I still enjoyed the hell out of this number. The harmony was great. Choreography was simple yet groovy. And this probably cements the fact that Darren Criss is one talented son-of-a-bitch. Back in June 2009 when I first watched “A Very Potter Musical”, I never once thought that the dude playing Harry Potter ,though talented, would ever get anywhere in the big show business. Yet, here he is, a year and a half later, obtaining a spot in one of the most successful TV shows of all time…and ROCKS it.

4. Stop! In the Name of Love / Free Your Mind

 From: “Never Been Kissed” (2x06)

Why: There’s no hesitation for me to say this. When it comes to competition, the boys ALWAYS kicks the girls’ asses anyday. From the “It’s My Life / Confessions Pt.2” VS “Halo / Walkin’ on Sunshine” and “Shout It Out Loud” VS “Bad Romance” competitions back in the first season, who always came out triumphant? No shit, the boys. No exceptions in this season.

3.Just The Way You Are

From: “Furt” (2x08)

Why: Not only was this probably the most heart-warming musical number this season, but it was both a plot and emotional pay-off. Last season, all we saw was creepy gay guy stalking on popular jock, jock then accidentally calls the gay guy a fag, etc etc etc. Finally, we see the subplot finally rested peacefully as popular jock waltzes (i think)  with gay guy in their parents’ wedding (yes, their relationship is really quite that fucked up), as a sign of apology and acceptance. Aww.

2. Marry You

From: “Furt” (2x08)

Why: Yeah, yeah, it’s cheesy as hell, I know. But it’s Glee. What the fuck did you expect? Beer and titties in every scene (but in case you are expecting that, rather go to www.xhamster.com and search for “drunk bitches”. That always works for me ;) ) But still, one cannot help but smile while watchign the number. The scene is just so joyful and happy that it’s contagious. Makes me want my wedding to be just like this. But the part where the bride and groom come dancing in? Ugh…God. Cringe-worthy.

AND THE #1 GLEE 2.0 MUSICAL NUMBER IS….

1. Singin’ in the Rain / Umbrella

 From: “The Substitute” (2x07)

Why: This was the second time that I looked forward more forward to a musical number rather than the episode itself (first time was “It’s My Life / Confessions Pt.II” back in 1x06- Vitamin D) after watching the promo. So what if Gwyneth Paltrow guest starred? I didn’t give a shit. All I wanted was to see the musical number so badly, and after watching it, though I had a few problems concerning the editing, it was pretty spectacular. Also, I’m a big sucker for dancing on water. Something about it is just so…beautiful to me. Not to mention the number of killer dance moves you could perform. PS: Besides “Empire State of Mind”, this was probably my most-listened-to Glee 2.0 song in my iPod Touch.

Now, it’s your turn. What’s your Top 10 Glee 2.0 song numbers?

Throughout the years, Pixar has gained the reputation of creating entertaining, emotional, and near-perfect films. With films like the action-packed “The Incredibles” and the beautiful “Up” as evidence, Pixar has certainly deserved the reputation that it currently has today. In fact, the “weakest” Pixar film (said by many) was “Cars”, and even that was a really good movie. Now, a new year has come, which means a new Pixar film, and this year… wow. All I can say is that this has been the Pixar film that I was really hyping up for since “The Incredibles” (and oh my God, I still can remember the insane excitement that I had for that movie), because now Pixar has given the world a new Toy Story film, after an eleven year gap between the new movie and the second movie. And after just recently finished watching the movie in 3D from the nearby cinemas, all I can say is that if this movie does not further explain the height of Pixar’s fame to the nearby retard person, that motherfucker should just kill himself with a fucking playdough clay, because this movie…I haven’t felt this emotional about a movie, since…”Up”.

Before I go on more about the film, I want to share something to you dear readers. I still remembered loving the Toy Story movies to smithereens when I was still a little kid, but over the years, I nearly forgotten all the fun times and shennanigans Woody, Buzz, and the other toys do in the two movies. I, like everyone in my age, just grew up and moved on. Same goes to all the children books that I read over and over again (ex. Goosebumps and Animorphs), my Dil Pickles doll and my flea-infested teddy bear, etc. All of that I just simply forgotten as I moved on with my life and experienced new, different, and let’s say older things that little kids can’t usually do. Right now, in my current stage of living in this planet, I’m just surronded with much confusion, joys, depression, and other experiences that I just forgot how much…simpler it was when I was a kid. I basically had no obligations at all. NADA. Sure, I had a lonely and pathetic childhood, but I was carefree. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, unlike today, where I have to deal with psychobabbble bullshit in terms of social, personal, and academic terms. I just simply forgot what it felt like to be a kid again.

Then when Toy Story 3’s release date came closer and closer, I realized, “I almost forgot what happened in both of the previous films”, which obviously symbolizes my sudden retardation towards my own childhood. So I downloaded the films, and watched them seperately. “Toy Story” definitely gave me flashes of my own childhood, but I just considered it as a good movie with an exciting conclusion at the end. “Toy Story 2”, in my opinion, was a better movie. It was adventurous, funny, emotional, and it further explored the charms and relationships that each toy had in the franchise. So when the credits rolled, I put the laptop monitor down, made a group message text saying how much of a better movie “Toy Story 2” was than its predecessor, and continued on with my daily life. Then I watched the third movie.

The movie wasn’t lacking anything. It was all in there: the heart, the laughs, the emotional moments, the interesting dynamic between the toy characters, and the charm that all Toy Story movies have. The characters are just too likable and lovable, that you can’t help but root for them as the movie goes on. The emotional scenes, most notably the incineration scene and the final scene, were so emotional and so moving that I felt teary-eyed. The animation was amazing (though the 3D didn’t really add much to the movie), and the funny thing about the animation was that I noticed the evolution of how the animation changed throughout the Toy Story movies. Though the animation of “Toy Story” was ground-breaking at the time of its 1995 release, the Windows 98 type of graphics that were featured in the movie certainly gave the film an unintentional feel of amateurism to the modern techno-horny crowd today. Then the animation in “Toy Story 2” no doubt, got better, and now, audiences around the world can get the chance to watch “Toy Story 3” in crsip and clear 3D. What an evolution.

But the thing I would really like to point out about the entire movie was the story itself. Again, Pixar demonstrates its masterful powers of storycrafting. Yeah, yeah, Andy grows up and the toys get donated to the sadistic daycare center. Kids are going to eat that shit up, but I’m talking about the plot in the point of view of a person who’s at Andy’s age. The age of maturity, the age where you need to let go of childhood hoodwinks and start living your life seriously (or rather, if speaking in a Kanto Boy’s point of view, “drink more kinds of shit than ever before, mothafucka’ “). But at some point in that stage, you stop for a moment and look back at all the things you’ve left behind. Then you wonder, “Should I head on?” That’s exactly what I felt about the movie. The movie brought back such precious memories to me, not exactly about the Toy Story movies, but my childhood in general. All the books, all the video games, all the kinds of stuff that I clinged on to while I lived through my sorry-ass lonely childhood. All those precious childhood memories now dumped inside a dingy old toychest, much like the toychest Woody and the other toys were thrown to early in the movie. Watching the movie made me remember all of those…and I admit that I felt a big lump on my throat as I remininisce all the memories while I watched the film’s final emotional scenes.

The thing I love about Pixar is not only can their movies entertain the heck out of kids, but also they put a thing or two to cater to the adults as well. The film is like a personal message to me, as my eighteenth birthday comes to play next week. It’s like a last-minute reminder of all the things I’ve done in the past, and how precious they were to me, no matter how good or bad, before I leave to go on to the mysterious path to the future known as adulthood. I love this movie, and again, thank you Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bullseye, Rex, Mr. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head, green aliens, Mr. Piggy, and all the other toys for being there for me in my childhood days, and being here for me many years later as well. You will not be forgotten.

This was my favorite Glee episode for a while, until  “Vitamin D”, “Sectionals” and some of the Back 9 episodes came along. “Gold Digger”, “Take A Bow” and “Push It” were great, and the characters were shown to be slowly getting fleshed out.

This Glee episode ,remains to this day, to claim the title as to have the least number of songs featured in the episode. But still, I’m not bothered. The Kurt and Burt bits were pretty emotionally well-executed (those bits of theirs are usually the most heart-wrenching moments of the series). But the scene were Finn cries was pretty emotional as well, and the only song covered in the episode (Taking Chances) was used pretty well in the ending senes. It described the episode as a whole perfectly, with its guitar-heavy music overlying the scenes with the scenes of ambigiousity and boldness. But the dance in the beginning…was that really necessary? Very hard to watch, even though there were no violence involved. But the whole football team dancing to the Single Ladies was pretty funny.

The Will vs Sue plot was freakin EPIC. Plus, the “Keep Holding On” song number at the end was a bit chilling. But I have to complain, that after just seven episodes, the glee club suddenly becomes incredibly close? Really?! The series really has problem with this issue. One episode, they’re all close, and then the next episode, they’re still split between the cool kids vs the geeks.

The episode dosen’t hold out a promise of having a mash-up song involved, which was a disappointment for me, considering how well they do on making mash-ups. But of course, that dosen’t agree with the overall message of the episode, regarding mash-ups. Emma’s “I Want to Dance All Night” was delightful, and a person like her was PERFECT to sing such a song. The slushie plot was also quite entertaining, and the part where Kurt suicide-slushies himself was HILARIOUS. But the episode does a good job of feeling sorry for both Emma and Will, especially with how they feel on Emma’s engagement.

This was a sadder Glee episode than usual (well, until “Dream On” came along, which can be considered as a direct sequel of this episode). Artie’s “Dancing with Myself” was sad, Kurt’s situation with his dad was heart-wrenchin as usual, and blah blah blah.

Back when I first watched it, I didn’t think this was a perfect Glee episode, but looking back…man, there was so many things that I missed. First of all, the episode was AWESOME. The plots were divided into two: the humorous one with Will and Rachel, and the dramatic one with Finn and Quinn. Will and Rachel’s plot was really well-done, and I chuckled a few times. In the Finn and Quinn plot though…let’s say things got dusty in the room. Cory Monteith and Dianna Argon really showed off their acting chops in the episode. FANTASTIC episode.

One of the things that I don’t like about Glee is that there’s no build up towards the main event (in this case, Sectionals) AT ALL. This episode showed no signs that the next episode after would be the big one. But pushing that aside, I liked this episode. “Smile (Lily Allen Version)” and “Jump” were truly awesome numbers. But the Will and Terri plot in the episode was INTENSE. It was so freakin uncomfortable to be watching that scene, as if you were actually in the same room with them. And the ending with the yearbook photo and “Smile (Charlie Chaplin Version)” playing on the background? Sad :( .

As you can see from the rating, this is one of my most favorite Glee episodes…EVER. At first, before watching the episode, I was a bit hesitant to watch it, because, well….it’s Madonna, but after watching the episode numerous times, I suddenly gained a better appreciation for her. I LOVE “Borderline/Open Your Heart”, “Like A Virgin”…well, I pretty much LOVE almost every song in the episode.The sex-themed plot was also well-executed, though I will not believe that in real life, a guy will be horrified of losing their virginity to some hot girl.

Great episode. The whole Glist and bad reputation stuff involving Will and Sue was HILARIOUS. Not only was this a great and funny episode, but this was the first episode of Glee (I’m not counting on “Wheels”) to feature Sue as the protagonist, and Will to be somewhat the antagonist, and I love that. Also, the scenes with Sue and her sister? AMAZING. Heart-warming yet sad at the same time. Also, this may be the most fun Glee episode of the entire season. It dosen’t really too much on plot, and it’s more heavy on the entertainment of the viewers, which works.

I’m glad that they featured Artie in the episode, because in the series, he’s the most unfortunate character out of all, and it’s good for the writers to address his condition more. Also, the dream theme in the episode was good, and really addressed dreams in a realistic tone.

This episode (I think) wraps up the Finn and Kurt storyline, and it does it in an awesome way. All their scenes were intense, and the school bullying scenes were just hard to watch (because it was too effin cruel). The storyline with Rachel and Shelby was also REALLY great, and I’m glad the writers aren’t taking the usual cliche Rachel-joins-Vocal-Adrenaline-and-Shelby-is-just-evil storyline. I felt pity and rousing emotion towards every character in the episode, particulary Kurt and Rachel. Also, this episode features Lady Gaga and Bad Romance, which is an automatic A+ in my book.

I liked the episode. It was fun, it was funky (no pun intended), and it was a great prelude to Regionals. The scene in the parking lot with Rachel and Vocal Adrenaline was just cruel, but I loved the aftermath and the song number that resulted from it (Give Up the Funk). What I loved about the recent episodes (this and “Theatricality”) was that I finally felt that the glee club members were genuinely close, unlike the past episodes where the creators tried to force the relationship into our faces.

Additional Comments-

Before I watched this season finale episode, I already formulated the entire outcome in mind. New Directions wins or they lose. If they do lose, then the competition makes some sort of loophole or maybe there’s a mistake, and they end up winning first place anyway. Well duh, the show has already been renewed for not just a second, but a third season, so it’s perfectly sensible for me to come up with such a theory. Turns out that most of my predictions came true…except for the the fact that it was Sue herself who saved glee club. The scenes with Sue supporting the club were so heart-warming, that my heart almost melted enough to the point of making a fruit shake out of the remains. And the scenes with the club expressing sadness….I felt the same way too. I would have never felt it if we were still in the early episodes, but I’ve (as well as millions of viewers) have followed these characters for a year now. Of course it’s natural that I feel for what happens to them. All the emotional scenes were amazingly done, and the song numbers….really outmatched “Sectionals” (the episode, for me, was contradictory to the events that were held in this episode. Sectionals has the happy outcome, Journey…well, it dosen’t go the same route as the mentioned episode). I applaud the creators for coinciding the Bohemian Rhapsody number along with Quinn’s birth scene. PURE GENIUS.

This is the best way to end the season. And I mean, THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. WHAT A FANTASTIC, FANTASIC SEASON FINALE.

Not only was “What They Died For” the last regular 1 hour episode of LOST, but it is also the prologue and serves as a set-up for the grand-scale 2 hour episode ,The End”. So, what were some points that I loved about “What They Died For”?

First off, the plot in both the on-island and the flash sideways world as starting to tighten up. In the on-island world, Jacob finally explains his motives towards the remaining Lostaways via a campfire scene, and next comes the time where Jacob chooses his next successor as the protector of the island. Drumroll, and to no one’s surprise, Jack stands up. Though it really wasn’t a surprise for me to learn that Jack was going to be the protector, it still befuddles me to see how far Jack has gone throughout the series. In the first season, he was the Man of Science. He was the guy who sees (or needs to see) all logic in a situation, and is desperate to fix even the most unfixable situations that are beyond his control. But as the series progresses, he begins to change, and now here in this soon-to-be classic LOST scene, we now see a changed Jack. He has finally become the Man of Faith. He finally believes that fate and destiny had brought him to the island to pursue this journey that us devoted Losties had witnessed througout six amazing seasons, and here he is, ready to protect the very place he loathed six seasons ago. It’s an amazing journey.

Same goes for John Locke, or more as Esaau (as what I like to call him). John Locke and Esaau are clearly not the same person. John Locke, in the entire series, was always a Man of Faith (due to the miracle that the island has given him) and also always fought Jack as their beliefs come to a clash constantly. Also a characteristic that seperates himself from Season One Jack was that unlike the others (well, except for Rose Nadler), he had undying devotion to the island, and followed everything IT has told him, even to the point of his death in Season Five. John Locke was, is, and always will be a MAN OF FAITH.

( Ex.

Locke: Why do you find it so hard to believe?!

Jack: WHY DO YOU FIND IT SO EASY?!

Locke: It’s never been easy, Jack!)

Esaau, however, couldn’t be more different. After millenias of being trapped in the island since he was a baby, Esaau was desperate to get off the island and see what the world had in store (hence, episode title “Across the Sea”). His dream was reasonably natural, but his “mother” and his twin brother Jacob did not approve of this, even to the point of killing him. Thus, the moment Jacob had tossed Esaau towards the cave full of electromagnetic energy (or the heart of the island), Esaau ceased to exist, and the smoke monster was born, with Esaau’s consciousness and form intact. So throughout centuries, Esaau’s continuing goal to get off the island becomes increasingly desperate, to the point where he began to hatch plots to kill of Jacob, who had grown up to become the watchful protector of the island.

Esaau is not exactly the kind of Man of Science that Jack is, rather, he’s the worst kind of Man of Science imaginable. With an unchangable opinion of men as wild and savage animals that only come to the island to fight and kill each other off, he instantly doubts any tiny glimmer of hope that men can redeem themselves from their horrible ways (an opinion that which Jacob strongly stands by), and because of this, the world will always be a dark and horrible place. This makes Esaau a deadly creature that if he leaves the island and meets the modern society….well, like what Hurley once said,”If he leaves the island…we’re all going to hell”.

As all of us know, Esaau decides to thrust Locke into a decisive and vicious scheme that ends up with Locke dead and Esaau claiming his form to trick other Lostaways. With both person in the same form, while the physical appearance of the Locke character stays the same, its mentality degrades to an incredibly inhumane level quickly. So, in a way, Locke has officially gone from the original Man of Faith to an extremely darker version of the Man of Science.

Moving on, another scene worth pointing out is the scene in New Otherton with Ben, Widmore, and Esaau. After Widmore’s men invaded the island in Season Four and killed Ben’s foster daughter in the process, Lost fans awaited for the day that Ben would get cold hard revenge on Widmore’s ass. And now, in this episode, comes the big pay-off. But was it satisfactory? With Widmore’s just getting effed off by a couple of bullets from Ben? I don’t know why, but I wasn’t troubled by how….quick the whole pay-off went. Maybe I was too immersed with what was going on with the whole Jacob vs Esaau and the rest of the Losties in danger, but…the quick thing was just fine with me. After all, even in real life, most of our expectations towards situations are not quite met. But at least, the scene served its purpose, with Widmore revealing EXTREMELY crucial information to (unfortunately and fortunately) Esaau, leading our way to the big finale.


And what about the flash sideways world? In the episode, my confusion regarding this ambigious world is starting to fade away as Desmond starts to take direct action towards the Losties, by talking to Jack on the phone (pretending to be an Oceanic Air employee) and also busting Kate and Sayid from the authorities? And all just to get them to Daniel Faraday’s concert, where most of the Losties are attending? Things are really getting exciting, and Michael Giacchino’s music during the bust-out scene was so freakin’ exciting and amazing that I really got the sense that whatever Desmond was planning was going to be EXTREMELY important. Really, without Giacchino, Lost wouldn’t have had the impact that it had on its fans now.

Another thing I loved about the episode was not just how it served well on being the prologue to “The End”, but also, as the last regular Lost episode, how it recalled bits and pieces from the previous episodes of the show. We saw characters from the past again, with Ana Lucia as the corrupt cop who busts out Desmond, Kate, and Sayid for $140,000, and Danielle Rousseau as a smiling beautiful woman who has laid her eyes on Ben (ironically). I chuckled at Rosseau’s line to Ben that he must come eat dinner with her and Alex, even if they have to kidnap him (which was EXACTLY what happened in the on-island world). The episode does feel like some last hugs and kisses from its interesting characters as it sets off to its final destination. Again, AMAZING episode. 9/10.

But now, let’s stop talking about “What They Died For”, and start talking about “The End”. The final episode is currently airing right now as we speak in the US, and I’m really making a big effort to stop looking at the Facebook,Twitter feed, and news so I could watch the big ending for myself without any spoilers in mind. One of the reasons why I made this fairly long entry was to divulge my remaining theories about the outcome of the entire story while I still have not watched the finale.

First off to the small things. What is up with Ben? Is he truly with Esaau now? My answer? NO. DEFINITELY NO. Why else would he give Miles a walkie talkie and the bag filled with C4 before he left? So he could let Miles hear what Esaau was planning so he can run off in the jungle and warn the Losties, ESPECIALLY the new protector (Jack). Ben will be murdered by Esaau because of this deception (no doubt about that), but in Ben’s mind, at least he did the honorable thing, which would slightly make up for being the cause of his daughter’s murder.

Another, is Richard Alpert dead? Answer: Half-dead. He landed somewhere in the jungle, with his bones severely broken, and with only a few hours left to live. Either Miles or the Losties will find him, say their final parting words to him, then after hundreds of years, he can finally die and be with his dead wife Isabella, at last.

Where is Desmond? And who helped him escape? My mind’s not really strong on this, but I think the Losties helped him escape moments before Esaau and Ben got to the well. But Esaau’s going to catch up soon, and get Desmond to the heart of the island, but again, I’m not too sure about this.

What happens to Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, and Miles? Either some or all of them die OR they escape the island via Ajira plane (but they need Frank to fly the plane, and I hugely have doubts that Frank is still alive after what happened in the submarine) or Jack, as the protector of the island, lets them leave at the end via a wooden raft (as a callback to Season One).

Where’s Claire? In the last scene of “The Candidate”, Esaau left her and told her that he had to “finish what he started”. I have TWO theories about this:

1. After being left behind again by the Losties in the submarine, she definitely loses her head, and goes off to kill them, and when I mean “them”, I meant KATE. She kills Kate, and then she gets shot by Sawyer.

2. She helps the Losties escape and goes with them to the Ajira plane, and they all escape the island.

I think that’s all the little things I’m going to cover. Now, off to the main storyline:

THEORY #1:

On-island timeline
Desmond gets trapped in the clutches of Esaau, and is about to be thrown to the heart of the island, but the Losties save him just in time. Then, in the right moment where Jack needs help the most-

Flash sideways timeline
Desmond plants a bomb in Faraday’s concert, knocking everybody into unconsciousness.  The Losties then get transported to the on-island timeline.

On-island timeline

Esaau is defeated. The remaining Losties (except Jack) and the Losties from the flash sideways world switch to both worlds.

THEORY #2:

On-island timeline

Desmond gets trapped in the clutches of Esaau, and is about to be thrown to the heart of the island, but the Losties save him just in time. Miles bombs the plane, making Esaau unable to leave the island, and then gets killed by Jack.

Flash sideways timeline

Desmond plants a bomb in Faraday’s concert, knocking everybody into unconsciousness.  The Losties then slip to their on-island consciousness, and everybody, living or dead, gets reunited.

On-island timeline

The final scene: Another crash in the island.

THEORY #3:
Final scene: The Losties escape via Ajira plane or the canoe.


So, I think I’ve pretty much covered up the things that I wanted to talk about. As final words, all I can say is that I’m grateful that something as great as LOST has come to my life. The show is really a rare thing to come by, and these things just happen only a few times in life. Oh, and also, I feel sorry for the asswipes who haven’t watched the show yet.


Goodbye LOST and farewell.

LOST: The Sixth and Final Season

S P O I L E R S   B E L O W

1-2: LA X- 10/10

A FANTASTIC season premiere. It’s creative, original, thrilling, wondrous, and to simply put, EPIC. It definitely sets up the hype and excitement of the mindblowing climax of this epic story.

3: What Kate Does- 5/10

A crappy follow-up to such a classic episode like “LA X”. The flashsideways seemed unecessary, plus the way Kate handles situations with disobedience is so overdone and so cliched that I’m just tired of it.

4: The Substitute- 8/10

This is much more like it, compared to crappy “What Kate Does”. How Locke’s life changes in the flashsideways is so interesting and so pleasant that it could basically take the whole episode on its own, and I wouldn’t care. But I have to say, the on-island stuff was really good too, and at last, the mystery of the numbers are finally solved.

5: Lighthouse- 9/10

Basically the same as “The Substitute”, but instead of Locke under the spotlight, it’s our very own Dr. Jack Sheperd, and let me tell you, IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. This is an incredibly interesting episode, with the discovery of Jacob’s lighthouse and the different outcomes of Jack’s life off-island and in the flashsideways. Plus the music by Michael Giacchino…he truly deserves to win the Academy Award. He’s just VERY talented when it comes to capturing the tone and grand scale of each scenes.

6: Sundown- 7/10

The episode really dragged, especially the flashsideways. The battle between Dogan and Sayid had some sort of cheesiness to it, as if I wasn’t watching Lost and I was just watching some sort of old-style Hong Kong kung-fu exploitation film. But for what the episode lacked, the final ten minutes certainly made up for it. They were dark, creepy, and had an Emperor-strikes-backesque tone to it.

7: Dr. Linus- 7/10

Majority of Lost fans LOVED this episode, but I found just a good and suitable episode. I was certainly entertained (and touched) at Ben’s flashsideways, but I found the on-island stuff with Ben and Ilana to be…bland. I dunno, but that’s just me.

8: Recon- 6/10

My second least favorite Lost episode for the season. Things that went on were just…uninteresting, and though it did push the plot along in some places, it just didn’t work for me.

9: Ab Aeterno- 10/10

Not only was this one of the most highly-anticipated Lost episode of all Lost fandom, but this was also one of the best Lost episodes in its entire six-year run (it’s up there with the season three finale “Through the Looking Glass” and season four finale “There’s No Place Like Home”). So much questions were resolved, like what the f**k is the island, a question everybody (Lost fans and non-fans alike) have burning wretchedly in their minds for six years, how did The Black Rock land on the middle of the island instead of just around the shore, and of course, how Richard Alpert gain his ability to never age. But it wasn’t just how many questions were resolved that made me LOVE this episode. The fantastic and heart-breaking story of Richard Alpert was just told to perfection in this episode, and it made me feel for the guy, as he had to struggle to live through hundreds of years with heartache and tragedy, and during the scene in the present day between Richard and his wife’s ghost (and Hurley), I almost felt my heart trying to bash out of my ribcage due to roaring wave of emotion that I felt during the scene played. Not only that, but us viewers have had their second look of the rivalry between Jacob and the smoke monster in this episode. Their story,along with Richard’s, is….EPIC (I overuse that word too much, but hey, it’s LOST. Everything about it is epic).

10: The Package- 8/10

I really really liked this episode, and maybe that’s because I have a certain fondness of both Jin and Sun. I really like their flashsideways, that even thouh they’re not married, they still found a way to make their love work (which is a wonder, because I hate ooey-gooey love stories that share the same elements that the plot had), and their on-island storyline. I thought the scene where Jin saw the pictures of his daughter Ji Yeon off-island was touching, but I found the Sun-losing-her-ability-to-speak-English subplot was just absurd and hassling towards the plot. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy episodes were they take the plot a bit slowly and focus more on characters, but oh come on, this is THE FINAL SEASON. We can’t have absurd subplots like Sun’s dilemma anymore, especially if there’s still so much to be done, like mysteries to be solved, and how the grand finale will end up. Also, if I may add, I did not find Desmond’s reveal at the end at all surprising, neither I think did other Lost fans did either. We all know that Desmond is special and according to Eloise Hawking,”the island isn’t done with him yet”.

11: Happily Ever After- 8/10

I enjoy Desmond-centric episodes to a very high deree (especially the heartwarming “The Constant” and the mystifying “Flashes Before Your Eyes”), and I believe majority of the Lost fanbase does as well. They’re episodes that really set themselves apart from the others, since they involve new and very ambigious plot elements that make their way to the main storyline sooner of later. They’re episodes that really make their way in the sci-fi genre with much glee and confidence, and this episode is no exception. This is the game-changer episode for both the flashsideways and the on-island storylines. The flashsideways are widely expanded and explained in this episode and take an interesting turn from what Lost fans originally thought them out to be. It’s certainly a game-changer for the on-island storyline as well, which definitely states that Desmond is crucial to the outcome of the series’ climax. Also the scene where Desmond gets zapped by the wave of electromagnetic energy inside the box? ICONIC.

12- Everybody Loves Hugo- 6/10

Like one wise man said,”This is a very weird Lost episode…even by Lost standards”. Indeed. The episode has a LOOOOT of stuff going on, and this episode, in my opinion, is pushes the plot along the most in this season. But the episode’s just so unusual, that it’s kinda hard for me to like this episode. I hated Ilana’s demise and it’s just a cheap way to let a potentially-interesting character to go off the show(no pun intended). But there were some moments in the episode that I liked, including the beach scene between Hurley and Libby. It’s a scene us Lost fans have been waiting for four years now, and finally, it’s now given to us like a delicious plate of chocolate-chip cookies.

13- The Last Recruit- 7/10

The chesspieces finally gather together in this episode. Everybody is now in the same place, but is that enough me like the episode? ….yeah, but there’s a catch. The flashsideways are hastily done , like two jigsaw pieces that wouldn’t quite fit together so easily. But still, I liked the episode.

14- The Candidate- 8/10

Aside from “Ab Aeterno”, this was the most intense episode of Lost in the season, and one of the most intense episodes of the series fo’sho. Great peril strikes the Lostaways, and this episode pretty much seals the deal that ALL BETS ARE OFF (well, except for Jack. He’s definitely going to live through the end), due to the deaths of Jin,Sun, Sayid, and Lapidus. I didn’t care much when Sayid died (for me, he was already dead in LA X, and the Sayid I saw during the following episodes was just (in the words of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse) a zombie. Lapidus death was just kind of…bland and sudden. But Jin and Sun’s death…that pulled my heartstring. And the final shot of the submarine sinking and both of their lifeless hands drifting apart from each other, with Michael Giacchino’s music playing the background….beautiful, yet tragic at the same time.

The submarine scene just echoed the Looking Glass scene in the season three finale, which is a very good thing, since both scenes are executed brilliantly with such tension and adrenaline. Also, the flash sideways….BRILLIANT. Six months before, when I was still catching up to the show, I found the Jack and Locke confrontation scenes very irritating and just involved a LOT of shouting, but I was foolish back then. While watching the scene in LA X where Jack and Locke talked, I momentarily forgot that John Locke was already dead, and I just sat there, watching the two interact, and it just dawned on me: The scenes involving the two of them were just beautiful to watch. Here we are, watching the Man of Science and the Man of Faith, setting aside their differences (thanks to the creation of the alternate universe), and just talk to each other. IT’S MAGICAL TO WATCH. Now we see the same thing here in “The Candidate”, and the magic never wavers. Their interactions are still as compelling as ever, and it’s just a delight to watch one last time as the show comes closer to its full conclusion.

15- Across the Sea  5/10 [RERATING: 7/10 (Reason: See “What They Died For”]

ORIGINAL REASON:

I understand that the full goal of the episode was to give a backstory between Jacob and The Smoke Monster, and I thought they did a fairly good job with it, but man…was this episode disappointing. I don’t know, maybe I should blame the EPIC “Ab Aeterno” for giving me high expectations to see this origins episode, but instead of the drama and the mind-boggling information Ab Aeterno has given me, all “Across the Sea” has given me was a drawling story and just more confusion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those Losties that just want the episodes to be full of answers, but COME ON! Viewers have to get a clean and clear windshield in order to see the full view of where the show will take us to its final destination, but what this episode just offered was a fly smacking against the windshield, blurring the viewer/driver’s vision with its guts swiped all over the glass. *sigh*

16- What They Died For- 9/10

OH.WOW.What a great episode. Not only is it fantastic, but it is a great set-up for the epic finale. Plus, because of this episode, I now have a great appreciation for “Across the Sea”, an episode I originally thought sucked ass.

Plot:

19-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen’s reign of terror.

Main Cast:

Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, and Crispin Glover

Directed by:

Tim Burton

MTCRB Rating:

GP

Pros:

-Mia Wasikowska. She totally brings a sense of wonder and curiousity (or according to the film, “muchness”) to the role of Alice. Sure, there are some times that she acts like Kristen Stewart-esque Bella in the film (the excessive white powder dosen’t help either), but at least she’s better than Kristen Stewart.

-Helena Bonham Carter. She’s quite playful with the role, totally nailing that zany/snotty sense that the role requires.

-The visuals. Oh my effin god, the visuals look GORGEOUS. Who knew a depressing tea party scenery could look so beautiful?

-The “Down the Rabbit Hole” scene. Really gives off the feeling that the viewers really are heading to another world, much like Alice in the film. Plus, it’s an excuse for druggies to start smoking their joints to have their own sense of “3D imagery”.

-The Cheshire Cat. Man, I love that cat in this movie. The animators and the voice actor (Stephen Fry) really gives off that sense of a sly trickster pretty well.

-The message the film gives off (You take in charge of your life). The moral lesson in the movie has been told millions and millions of times before, but still, it’s nicely done here.

Cons:

-Johnny Depp. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Johnny Depp’s acting in a lot of his movies (Pirates of the Carribean, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd), but here, it seems like he looks confused on how the Mad Hatter character has to act and behave. One scene he acts like a madman, then five seconds later, he shouts like a drunken Irishman. Definitely not one of his bests.

-The world of Wonderland hasn’t been explored enough.

-Movie really drags at the middle.

RECCOMENDED:

Kids 10+. Kids under 10 might be scared shitless with the content here. Also, this film might not be reccomended to those dumbasses who can’t follow movies with British accents or have a short attention span.

SCORE:

7/10

Pros:

-Acting. I was impressed with Naveen Andrews’ portrayal of a very weak Sayid slowly transforming into something sinister and dark (with the help of UnLocke). I felt immense hatred for Sayid when he killed Dogan and Lennon, while wearing a very creepy grin on his face during most of the ending scenes.Again, Terry O’ Quinn and Emilie de Ravin never fail to bring the creepy factor in the episode.

-Last ten minutes of the episode was great and dark at the same time. Definitely an “Empire Strikes Back” moment.

-I love how the three seperate groups on the island are slowly coming together (Kate meeting with a very creepy Claire and reluctantly joining UnLocke’s group, while Miles tells Sun that Jin is alive and is still missing), along with the off-island stuff as well (Sayid, Jin, and Keamy in one scene was awesome)

Cons:

-a lot of the on and off-island moments dragged on and on, although maybe I had this impression because I had to pause the episode again and again due to a few errands that needed to be taken care of.

-I felt Keamy was very underplayed in this episode. Shame, because he was an absolute BADASS in Season 4.

SCORE: 8/10

NEXT EPISODE: Dr. Linus

Plot:

On Jacob’s orders, Hurley leads Jack to a lighthouse. Meanwhile, Claire questions an Other she has captured while tending to an injured Jin. In flash sideways, Jack spends time with his son, an accomplished piano player.

Pros:

ACTING

-Brilliant acting by Matthew Fox. It’s interesting how much he tries to contrast the two Jacks in the present timeline and the flash-sideways timeline. Emilie de Ravin was pretty great as Claire-sau, with the fiery depths of insanity and aggresiveness burning in her bright blue eyes. Plus, even though he appeared for like two seconds, Terry O’ Quinn as UnLocke never fails to send a chill down my spine.

PLOT

-Very interesting plotlines. I love discovering new elements and things in Lost, and the Lighthouse was no exception. Though it didn’t surprise me at all to see Jack go apeshit when he sees his name on the wheel, it didn’t frustrate me, unlike his antics in the past seasons. I guess I could say that what Jack did was perfectly human and realistic (much like Ben’s emotions during the very end of Season 5). Same goes for Jack from the flash-sideways storyline, where he grows desperate to be a better father to his son (which was a nice plot touch, btw). While the Claire-sau is awesome, it does open up a whole new subplot in the future (Claire vs Kate).

MYSTERIES

-Unravels the full circle to a more bigger extent. Now that we are explained on what the numbers meant (twice), we get the feeling that we’re starting to see the full picture of the entire epic that is called “Lost”. Though we knew that Jack would have an extremely big influence on the outcome of the entire epic (no shit), it’s nice for it be confirmed by Jacob and the shots of a troubled and confused Jack looking at the view of the ocean. Also, I just can’t help but think WTF is going on with UnLocke and Claire-sau. Definitely want that answered in the upcoming episodes.

SCORE: 10/10

NEXT EPISODE: Sundown

Plot:

A poor girl must choose between the affections of her doting childhood sweetheart and a rich but sensitive playboy.

Pros:

-Great acting by the cast. I always admired Molly Ringwald’s performance in “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club”, and this is not an exception. She’s charming, beautiful, and she always brings out edgy yet sweet characters. Jon Cryer’s performance as Duckie is just plain out wacky and fun, while Andrew McCarthy brings out some sorts of innoncence and wonder towards his depiction of the rich-guy Blane. I love how the cast, while still being all “hip and cool” (this is both an observation and a mock (it’s the 80’s,come on, they all thought they were all hip and modern back then), brought out powerful emotions if needed. Here are scenes that bring obvious examples to this:

1.The scene where Molly Ringwald and her dad were having a confrontation about her mother. Heart-breaking.

2.A broken-hearted Jon Cryer learning that Molly Ringwald has already found a love interest. Dear readers, you have no idea how many experiences I have had that are EXACTLY like this scene portrayed in the film. I felt emotionally connected and totally understood what Duckie was feeling at the moment.

3.Molly Ringwald angrily shouting at Andrew McCarthy in the hallway. That’s probably how real girls (when I mean “real”, I meant girls who aren’t fake and plastic) would truly react when their boyfriends ignore them so they wouldn’t be laughed at when people see that they’re together.

-The plot. Honestly, who never had a situation, whether exact or similar, where someone had to choose between you or an extremely cool and dashing person? Though not original, it’s still quite enjoyable…until the resolution (see cons for more details). The subplot between Molly Ringwald and her dad in the film is absolutely heart-wrenching while touching at the same time. Also, the story, while not the best nor satisfactory at times, displays a rather…gritty look of what it means to be a high schooler on the bottom of the hierarchy. Oh no, the bullying in this film is much unlike the slushie-on-the-face pranks on “Glee”, in fact, the bullying here is really quite cruel. Imagine going to a party where every partygoer there makes fun of you just because of your status? It’s an absolute nightmare.

-Soundtrack. Yes, it dosen’t have the usual spunk that other John Hughes movies had been successful to give, but the soundtrack still pretty much is rockin’ it. “Pretty in Pink” by the Psychadelic Furs is a great song and completely fits in the movie, while “If You Leave” by ODM is the perfect song to close this movie , as it fits the tone and situation with much ease. The rest I don’t really care that much.

Cons:

-It drags out sometimes.

-The ending. According to John Hughes, the reason why Molly Ringwald chose the cool rich guy instead of the loyal and lovable guy, is because he didn’t want audience to think that rich people and poor people can never be together. I don’t mean to disrespect Mr. Hughes (in fact, he’s one of my most favorite directors and writers of ALL TIME (he wrote “Home Alone” for Pete’s sake), but you’re laying the WRONG message. You’re trying to display that materialization conquers all, not morals and values. It dosen’t matter how much money this guy has, what matters the most is what the guy stands for. Ducky (the loyal guy) did EVERYTHING for Andie (Molly Ringwald). I mean, EVERYTHING. He’s always there for her, he makes her laugh, he even tries to beat up a guy who basically talked trash about her. But what did Blane (the rich guy) do? Even if his friend trash-talked Andie, he did nothing at all. He let out his peers get the best of him, while Ducky remains loyal to Andie. Yet he gets the girl at the end?! And all he does to “resolve” his peer-pressure storyline is to throw to his trash-talker friend’s face that Andie hates that guy’s guts?! WTF?! Mr. Hughes, don’t think just because one-fourth of the audience likes the selfish ending dosen’t mean it’s a right ending. Seriously, who would you pick? A person who lets himself carried away by other peoples’ thoughts or a person who would be there with you every step of the way? I’m sorry, Mr. Hughes, but you’re just laying the wrong thoughts and ideals here.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

-One of the weaker John Hughes movies, alongside “Weird Science” and dare I say “Sixteen Candles”. But still, a great movie.

RECOMMENDATIONS: The teen crowd, 80’s to 10’s.

SCORE: 7/10

Plot:

While on vacation, a Marine sniper takes on local rebels who have seized control of the hotel where he and his wife, who is now a hostage, have been staying

Pros:

-Beautiful setting and location.

-Acceptable cinematography quality.

Cons:

-Very predictable plot. This is the reason why action movies aren’t really my forte. They use the same plots over and over again. “Ooh look, the protagonist’s loved one is held hostage by a baddie! Ooh, one of the protagonist’s buddies dosen’t want to help him. Oh no, one of the protagonist’s friends is a traitor! Ooh yay, the other friend decides to help the protagonist!Yay, they all lived happily ever after! This is the best movie ever!”. Don’t make me puke.

-The insipid acting. While Ted DiBiase Jr. and the actress playing his wife delivers a very mediocre performance, the rest of the cast however, looked like they were casted by the producers on the street, like some last-minute casting process. The government representative (who happens to be the traitor) was ATROCIOUSLY GODAWFUL in this movie. Nothing about this guy’s acting was convincing, not even remotely convincing. His facial expressions are so dull and he just FUCKING SMILES all the time. No, not smiling acting-wise, smiling as in it was clear he had no fucking idea what the hell he was doing. Seriously, I can do a MUCH better job than him, and I fucking stutter my lines when I act.

-The dialogue. In an action movie, you can expect tons of one-liners to be thrown into your face like a monkey throwing handfuls of shit at zoo visitors. That’s all I can pretty much say in this section..why? Let me teach you on how my little mathematical equation “The Bad Dialogue Theorem” works, my dear friends.

“BAD DIALOGUE*CLICHE DIALOGUE= FORGETFUL MOVIE”

I basically forgotten EVERY bits of dialogue the characters said in this movie. No, it’s not because of my short attention span, but because of, like I said, how bad the one-liners are.

-The overwhelming requirement of suspension of disbelief. Ex. Ted DiBiase stabs a guy in a pool. No blood comes out. Ex2. The bad guy detonates the explosives in the boat, with him in it, though he still is in a mildly acceptable state to still walk around and continue his attempts on killing Ted DiBiase and his wife. Ex3. Bad special effects (but this I can understand, given that this is a DTV movie).

-The fight scenes are mediocre and nothing special, but the thing that irritated me was the fight scene that happened after Ted DiBiase hiding behind a pillar while the Thai baddies shoot it to bits. The fight scene after that was just atrocious and poorly-shot. It had an okay choreography, but just the way it was filmed…eh. Don’t get me wrong, I love fight scenes that show raw and edginess, but the fight scene in this movie feels like a parody of those types of fight scenes. The sound capture was bad, the editing was dreadful, and it was just a wasted scene.

RATING: 3/10

RECOMMENDATION: People who like mindless and stupid movies like,”Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” will masturbate on this movie.

COMMENT/S:

-It’s a shame that John Cena or Ted DiBiase Jr. wasn’t cast in “Terminator Salvation”, because are PERFECT to play a Schwarzenegger-like Terminator.
