After the first two episodes of Lost's 5th season, I was really waiting for this one!! And am so glad that the episode lived upto the standards of the season premiere! You get to learn so much about the past of all the characters, especially Widmore and Richard! You gotta applaud for the writers of the show! The suspense quotient with every episode gets better and makes more sense! Hence, you love the show even more! All the good things said, I gotta admit the story of this episode "Jughead" was wonderful but could've been told in a more impactful manner!
The episode starts right from where the camp is destroyed by the others, and with a new time flash...its back in time to the year 1954 when the island was a part of US military experimentation! The face-off between Desmond and Widmore could've been more impactful! I am predicting that Desmond would join Sayid and the rest in LA where he'll go and find Faraday's mother. The story of John Locke, Desmond and Faraday keeps on getting better and better and far beyond interesting! Sawyer is yet to register an impact in this season! Lets hope he soon does!
For me the highlight of the episode was the part where John Locke convinces Richard in the year 1954 that he'll be born after 2 years from now and Richard will come to visit him and recruit him as the next leader if the "others". That scene was wicked!! Its also fascinating to see who Charles Widmore was back then and how he knows so much about the island in the present day!
Despite the fact there is no mention about Sayid, Jack, Hugo, Sun, Ben and the boring Kate, the episode is very intriguing! I enjoyed every bit of it! The time flashes are so unpredictable yet add more thrill and suspense to this great show. It'll be interesting to see how Locke and Daniel Faraday teams up with Juliet, Miles, Charlotte and Sawyer to better understand the time flashes!
Till the next episode...over n out!
