Aloha I live in Honolulu and I was fortunate to attend the
LOST 3rd season premiere. I dont have any experience typing
up synopsis really, however I'll go with what I can
remember about the show:
Remember last season began with Desmond on his exercise bike
with Mama Cass song "Make Your Own Kind of Music", well this
season the song opens up with Petula Clark's "Downtown" with
a woman named Juliet played by Elizabeth Mitchell
(
http://imdb.com/name/nm0593310/).
You see The Others outside on a nice sunny day, wearing nice
casual clothes and they look up and see the plane splitting
apart in two. Henry Gale tells Ethan to go the crash site
and pretend to be a survivor and the man Ana Lucia killed,
Goodwin (
http://imdb.com/name/nm0191442/) was told to go
to the other crash site. Then opening credits of the LOST
begins...
We now see Sawyer, Jack and Kate all being held in different
places. Sawyer appears to be in what looks like a animal cage one
would find in a zoo, Kate looks to be in a lockeroom and Jack
is in a dark chamber somewhere.
Kate is asked to take a shower and freshen up, start the day new,
she takes a shower only to find her clothes are gone, she looks
thru the lockers to find a nice dress and is told to put it on,
she doesnt have much choice and there are no clothes around besides
the towel around her so she puts it in. She is led to Henry Gale
who is sitting in a nice dining table setting next to the ocean with
breakfast, forks and knives, etc. He asks Kate to put handcuffs on
so she wont try anything funny. Kate asks why has she been told
to dress like this and why is she being given a nice breakfast and
such. Henry Gale replies that he wanted her to feel civilized
and enjoy the moment because for the next two weeks she will be going
thru hell which made me think is she going to be put thru some sort
of The Others version of a bootcamp??
Meanwhile Juliet attempts to give Jack some food, which he refuses,
she asks him lots of questions and he sarcastically lies and says
he is a repoman. She tells him he has to sit towards the wall
in the corner so she can safely bring the food to him because he
needs to eat and drink something because the medicine they gave
him he may dehydrate. So he agrees to let her in and then attacks her
threatening to break her neck, kill her, he is trying to find a way
out of this holding chamber cell when he sees Henry Gale. Jack tells
Henry Gale he will kill her if he doesnt answer him why he is there
and such, Henry says go ahead and kill her because if Jack opens
some door or touches some button they will all die so it wont matter.
He does and Henry bolts out of there as fast as he can as thousands
of gallons of water comes rushing thru the area they are in. Jack
and Juliet recover by going into some doorway and he asks if he
is in a aquarium, she says somewhat that they are indeed underwater
and this is where the dolphins and sharks are tested.
Now to Sawyer....he is in an outside cell that looks like it has
magnetic forces inside it. Sawyer attempts all kinds of things to get
out, a teenage boy is held across from Sawyer as well and tells him
not to do that, Sawyer doesnt listen and gets bounced around the cell
by I asssume the magnetic force. The teenage boy, Sawyer dubs "Chachi"
figures out how to get out of his cell and breaks Sawyer out and they
escape, while you hear over the loudspeaker a siren that the escapees
have well escaped. They are re-captured, the boy appears to have been
beaten up a bit and is forced to apologize to Sawyer for getting him
involved in his escape. Sawyer continues to try and figure out this
strange cell he is in and tricks it and suddenly water comes out
of the rain gutter and some large cracker comes out from another
area and Sawyer tests it out, finds it edible and Kate who has
just been taken to a outside cell across from Sawyer is thrown
a piece of the cracker to eat for herself. One guy from the Others
notices Sawyer had figured out how to get food and water and says
the Bears who used to be in there did it alot quicker, Sawyer asked
"how many bears were in here", but didnt get an answer.
The backstory for the show is about Jack so we see him at a lawyer's
office with his wife and they are preparing for the divorce, she asks
him where is his lawyer and he says he fired him, it seems Jack
wants to reconcile but she does not. Her cell phone rings and she
talks to someone and laughs, enjoying her conversation. Jack asks
who is this guy she is talking to, he will give her everything
from the car, boat, money, etc. if she will tell who this man is that
she is now with. She doesnt answer. Next you see Jack in his doctor's
office researching phone numbers to find out who the man is. His
father walks in and he tells him, "Jack just let it go". He is telling
him their marriage is over, just move on and let it go. Jack's
father's cell phone rings and Jack begins to think its his wife
on the other end, so he follows his father around and what looks
like a hotel happens to be a AAA meeting. Jack yells at his father
and accuses him of sleeping with his wife, the lady at the AAA meeting
says that is father has been sober for 50 days, you should
be proud of him, relax, calm down, etc. Jack's father tells him,
"just let it go" again, Jack has had it and attacks his father
slamming him against the wall and is beating him up. Now we
see Jack in jail and his bail is paid, its his wife and she says
she called a cab for him, he follows her to her car and sees a man
standing next to the car and asks if that is the guy who she is
now with, she says what does it matter and that your father called
me rip roaring drunk and crying and that you had been taken to jail.
She tells him if there is one positive thing you can make out all of
this is that you can go fix your father since you like to "fix things".
Back to Juliet and Jack in the holding chamber, she says she has
a book, that is like a book on your life, she tells him she knows
all about him from his schooling, to his profession, to his family,
his ex-wife, etc. She even has Jack's father autopsy report, he
asks how can she get things like this and she says they can get
anything they want, he asks Juliet if his ex-wife is happy and
she says that she is very happy now. Juliet had been working on
trying to get Jack to communicate with her and had finally succeeded.
The show ends as she leaves the chamber and Henry Gale is standing
there and said, you did a good job, Juliet you got to him. She replies
and doesnt seem to be quite fond of Henry, but she tells him, "thanks
BEN". And the show fades to black. So the guy's real name is Ben.
No previews for next week but I'm sure we'll see those on Wednesday.
I get some impression and this goes by seeing tonight's show and
watching Evangeline Lilly on Jimmy Kimmel the other night that she
is filming her background story to air soon, remember there are
only 6 shows, then the lengthy 3 month break or so that we may
only see Jack, Kate and Sawyer in these opening episodes to start
the season and none of Locke, Hurley, etc. until the spring, but
I could be wrong with that.
Anyways, I'll be curious to hear what you folks think, especially
on Wednesday when you see and hear it for yourself.
Aloha!
