I'm so sorry about not posting this sooner... I had every intent to post this blog yesterday when I got off work but I ended up working a 10 1/2 hour shift. I didn't even make it back home until almost 1230. So here is my blog... sadly it is going to be the last one and LOST isn't even over yet.
This week's episode was awesome and it even had a few twists. Daniel Faraday came back!!!!!! This is a huge thing because he KNOWS how to fix the problem of the Oceanic Flight 815 crashing on the island. It is also because of an accident that is going to happen that causes electromagnetic energy to be released. Because of the accident, Desmond- the man who lived in the hatch...has to push the button.
Topic of discussion in this blog is going to be about Daniel Faraday. He is a man who taught at Oxford University in London. He is very bright and he knows what he is doing. He time travels. How he time travels?.... that is still a mystery. With him knowing about the accident that is about to happen, there comes a price. If you change the past, what is going to happen in the future. Yes, the plane with land in Los Angeles, but what is to happen to the people of the flight??? Of course, they wouldn't know who each other are, but a question that remains is will the people get to know each other just like when the plane crash. With the season finale a mere two weeks away, many things still need to be answered. And if the show is still suppose to end next season, how are they going to make this work? Is there plan to keep dragging out this accident? My opinion- they can't- the viewers will lose interest in the show fast.
There was a shocking ending to the episode though, Daniel's mom- Eloise- shoots him. Whether Daniel lives or dies.... still remains a mystery. If Daniel dies, then is he going to be able to stop this accident or are the survivors going to have to stop it? Daniel never tells them how he is going to stop this accident. So, the probability of the survivors knowing what to do to stop the accident is slim to none. So what is going to happen? I guess all the viewers will have to wait until Wednesday to see what will happen to Daniel Faraday and the survivors.
Still waiting to see how John Locke will bring Sun and Lapidus to 1977 to be with her husband. Maybe this week there will be something with it.
Signing out for the last time....

Little Johnny is Starting to Really Freak Me Out...
The season finale of Heroes was on this week… *HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD*… and the biggest shock- Nathan Petrelli is dead. Sylar killed him. I couldn’t believe it. However.. he kind of came back. The short version--- Sylar killed Nathan, Peter now has all of Sylar’s powers (YAY) and tricked Sylar, knocking him unconscious. Then Matt Parkman turned Sylar into Nathan by telling his mind that he was Nathan Petrelli and giving him all Nathan’s memories (somehow). But no one knows except Mrs. Petrelli, Matt, and Mr. Bennet.
Creepy and weird, I know. So it’s almost like Sylar died and not Nathan. BUT they started the new season at the end (just a minute or so to keep us wanting more) and “New Nathan” was kind of carrying some of Sylar’s attributes, like his obsession and understanding of clocks. We should probably be scared. I’m at odds with myself because I want both Nathan and Sylar on the show.
Okay, so this brings me to the topic I found from this episode. Mrs. Petrelli had Matt turn Sylar into a weird, mutant like form of Nathan because she said anything, anyway she could preserve her son would be better than nothing. I molded that idea into one about cloning. I’m not a science-buff at all, so I don’t keep up with these things, but I do know that cloning of animals is possible and many think human cloning is next. The question, you’ve heard before, if you lost a loved one, and could make a clone of them, would you?
So here’s the scenario: you’re child/sibling dies before their time, as they say. You have the option (forget any monetary aspect) to bring that person back by making a clone using some of their DNA. Do you? A few components come into play here that I can think of, anyway. 1) Are you playing God? Was that person meant to die at 20? And if so, does that stop you? 2) Would bringing them back start some rift in the ultimate plan or something? And if so, do you just take your chances anyway? 3) This clone-child/sibling would not be the real person and you would always know that. Obviously we can’t currently know, but what if clones eventually became a different person than the one you knew? What if they developed into “their own person”, with different views, attitudes, likes, and such? Again, do you just take your chances?
Are all of these unanswered questions enough to make you pause, stop you in your tracks, or is anything worth having any part of your child/sibling back?
As I’ve said in a previous blog, no one likes to think about death, and here I am asking you to do it once again. I apologize… kind of.
Okay, so I put myself in this situation. I can’t begin to imagine the love and connection and unyielding devotion you have to your own child, although hopefully one day I will. I don’t know what I would do, honestly. I think I would be scared, really scared. It isn’t little Johnny, it’s a body walking around that looks like little Johnny. Really creepy! I think I would freak out and Johnny-2 would startle me and I would think he was out to get me and react accordingly…
My friend “Sydney” said there was no way she would do it and yelled at me for creating such a weird and unnatural alternate universe that defies so many biological processes (she’s a science girl).
So that’s two no’s here, I suppose. What about you? Ask your friends, it’s nice dinner conversation. =)
Sadly, this is my last post, so with parting thoughts,
Pearl
