Holy crap! At the end of Lost last night, were you asking the same question I was…?

“Where can I get me some of that Dharma Initiative boxed wine??????”

Ha…maybe not. I am really not inspired to write about TV anymore because honestly, there isn’t anything all that inspirational about it lately. The one exception is Lost. Hands down, best season ever.

I barely even know where to start. We could talk about Kate’s post-rescue deal to avoid jail time, or maybe the “story” the Oceanic Six has been telling everyone (Only 8 people survived? Plane landed in the water?) since their return. How about dumbass Miles’s demand for $3.2 million from Ben? Or…how Locke fries up a mean egg.

How about Kate’s non-pregnancy which bring up a related topic for me…ahem, how exactly are the ladies dealing with their “monthly friend”? Oh duh, I bet there are about 9,000 boxes of Dharma Initiative Official Feminine Protection Product.

The one thing I’ve been trying to do is piece together the order of all of the flash-forward sequences. Obviously, Jack’s meltdown from last season’s finale is the furthest into the future, because he and Kate still seemed on pretty good terms after her trial. Although, he did seem a bit fatter than he did in the episode where he told looney-bin Hurley that he’d never go back to the island…perhaps I’m really reading too much into things.

But, let’s get to the big eye-opener of the night…the weekly “WTF??!!??” moment we seem to get at the end of each episode. Holy crap, what is Kate doing with Aaron? I have to assume Claire died at some point and Kate took over as Mom…? Or…Kate was so distressed she wasn’t pregnant that she kidnapped Aaron and then killed Claire? Or, Kate took Aaron until Claire could figure out how to get the laundry cleaner and fresher…and that just never happened?

This also answers…maybe…the question of who the “He” in, “He’s waiting for me” was when Kate was at the airport with Jack in the season finale. Given that we know it’s Aaron (who looked like Sawyer, so I figured she was still pregnant even though she told Sawyer she wasn’t) - it also explains why Jack won’t see him - he’s a big, bouncing, tubby reminder of their big, fat lie - and what they left behind…if there was anything to actually leave behind. It also explains why Kate didn’t want “her son” brought into evidence at her trial…because whatever lie it was Kate was going to have to perpetuate, it seems as though she’s not super-excited about perpetuating it anymore.

So…let’s recap who we have so far for the Oceanic Six:

• Jack
• Kate
• Sayid
• Hurley
• Aaron, although it’s iffy at this point because we don’t know if the Rest of the World knows that Claire was one of the “eight who survived” and Aaron was born on the island, or what. But until proven otherwise, the kid stays on my list.

Going back to the boxed wine thing, I was impressed with the red. I would have taken the Others as more of a White Zin sort of crowd…or Pinot Grigio, what with those warm days and all.
