Before I do, can I just say Season 6 rocked! What a payoff!

What I loved:

• Richard’s story was awesome!
• So much insight into the island, it makes you realise that the whole Dharma Initiative was a red herring!
• It makes sense now why Christian was everywhere!

What disappointed me:

• No Nikki and Paolo in the alternate world – sure everyone hated them, but it would have been nice to have a Nikki & Paolo goodbye.
• No Walt answers – okay, I get it, the actor aged, but it would help to have a wrap up.
• No Mr. Eko, and very little Shannon and Boone alternate realities – Mr. Eko was a favourite of mine.
• Ben’s turn to the dark side again – oh Ben, I suppose it is your nature though. I was enjoying redeemed Ben though.
• Richard, are you dead? Say it’s not so!

Okay, here’s my prediction:

So, Jacob’s adversary is not able to leave the Island, he’s always wanted to, it’s his ultimate goal and he can’t go until all the candidates are dead by their own hands. I get that. But it was kind of implied that Jacob can’t leave either. But that contradicts Season Five where we see Jacob intervening in the candidates’ lives in the past. Plus Mikhail said Jacob recruited him. Now Mikhail is a liar (although if he said he was recruited in Canada we’d KNOW it was a lie), but let’s take him at face value. How do we reconcile these facts?

Well, there’s an alternate Jack, an alternate Locke, an alternate Kate, etc etc. What if there was an alternate Jacob? Not in the alternate world, but in the original world? I can’t really explain how there can be two Jacobs but there might be the one who can’t leave the Island, and another who is like Alternate Desmond, setting things in motion, subtly manipulating people to some goal only known to him. Maybe there’s a Jacob out there somewhere living the life we want for Desmond, with his wife, maybe on good terms with his brother.

Well, there you go, my last guess at LOST. Thank you J.J. Abrams, thank you ABC, a six year payoff, and a TV show that changed everything.

Well here’s a neat thing: in the app store – I know I can’t believe I’m discussing the app store either – there’s a neat little app to update your WordPress blog from your phone! That’s right, this is the first iPhone blog post for kshuntley.com.

CBC News – Nova Scotia – Snowstorm sweeps into N.S.

This is a brilliant idea.  It’s too bad it’s limited in coverage, with nothing sceens in Atlantic Canada participating.  Sporting events are definately better to watch in a community environment!  I hope this type of presentation comes to Australia.

Scott wants a double-double.  Open a Tim Hortons in Sydney please.

The height of stupidity.

How many times will the state government announce and reannounce these kinds of rail infrastructure projects?

The only work ever done on these damn things is that one piece of sod Carr Iemma Rees or his Minister-In-Charge-Of-Fantasyland turns over at all the damn ceremonies.

I’ll believe it when I’m riding down the Parramatta Road Metro line.  Until then, please Mr. Rees, less talk, more work.

My request – “Solsbury Hil” by the Dust Rhinos was played on Coverville, episode 534 (download the mp3).

The Dust Rhinos are butt-kickin’ celtic rockers (their words, but ones I completely agree with) from Winnipeg.  I have to admit,  first found them way-back on Napster, and since then have legitimised my Dust Rhinos collection.  They’re like Great Big Sea, but kick up the rock just a touch.

Coverville is a great program hosted by Brian Ibbott that is all about cover songs.  The program is great for supporting Indie bands, and Brian does a great job hosting.  I actually found out about it because Tom Merritt of The Real Deal and Buzz Out Loud kept talking about it.

I’ve become a Coverville convert, and I’m hoping that by requesting the Dust Rhinos I helped get them a little more exposure with the Coverville audience.

Plus, I’m vain and I just like hearing my name on the air.

This is why I tell my Australian friends they have no idea what winter really is.  Even if you don’t read the article, open the link, take a look at the photo.
