And it was about Lost.
Specifically about the final moments of the finale.
Actually I had a series of vignettes going on as I slept last night/this morning. Different scenarios for the hyped “game changer,” at the end of this weeks episode titled “Through The Looking Glass.” I got to thinking about possible “we’re through the looking glass here people,” moments the title suggests with the artist formerly known as Brandonicus last night. The combination of that, my slavish devotion to that old time religion known as TV, a discussion about how our jobs as managers are far less important to us than Lost, and my complete and utter lack of a sex life all added up to the grand achievement of my life:
Being able to watch TV while sleeping.
Because that’s what it felt. Sort of a combination of watching it and being there.
Meta Hi Def.
Maybe I’m finally achieving my full potential as a human being. Being able to make TV in my brain even when I’m not watching it.
I don’t remember all the possible game changer moments I dreamed but I know there was a few. The one that stands out is the one where The Looking Glass idea figures literally. It’s not just that title but the fact that last week we had Alex and a white rabbit and the hatch schematics seemed to have the logo of a rabbit. All this was making me think of Alice down the rabbit hole and that through the looking glass moment being put out there and what would constitute one.
The one dream I remember goes something like this:
In the final moments of the episode Charlie enters through some kind of portal on The Looking Glass station. When he emerges he is laying beside Claire in a bed shortly revealed to be in England. Aaron is there as well. The two of them are married. Somehow, I don’t remember how, it is revealed that they are no longer on the island and that somehow Desmond’s time trip has contributed to altering the timeline so that Claire and Charlie were never on the plane yet somehow met.
Now i know this isn’t going to happen. It makes no sense. If Desmond altered anything it should have happened already. There is no magic mirror to walk through on the LG station. At least their better not be. It would be ridiculous for everyone on the island to just forget Claire and Charlie were there.
That’s not my point.
My point is I’m dreaming about TV!
I rarely remember my dreams and when i do they’re usually not vivid. Yet I remembered Lost finale dreams and Charlie through the portal was vivid.
I am both excited and concerned with this development in my life.
But I have always thought the time and reality thing was being played with here. There are far too many clues and suggestions for that not to be the case. From Sawyer reading A Wrinkle In Time, the Mittelos anagram, Desmond’s back to the future/delusion episode, and more. So i’m going to say that the game changer has to be some confirmation of the time angle. Will Penny show up 30 years older with more technology Sayyid doesn’t recognize? Will we find out no one but Ben ages on the island? Will past, present, and future collide in some way that shows us they are fluid within the shows mythology and possibly existing as different possibilities? Like Shrodinger’s Island?
Probably none of the above.
It will probably be disappointing whatever it is.
But I’m stoked about it. And I’m hoping to create new series in my sleep as possible mid season replacements for all the networks but Fox.
And CBS. They canceled Jericho which was getting good and was a very realistic look at the good and bad of a post apocalyptic segment of America.
So no dreams for CBS.
ABC doesn’t deserve my dream content what with their whole Disney relationship but they and NBC have some good shows and will give the contents of my dreams the chance Fox and the sci fi channel probably wouldn’t.
I may give HBO a crack too but they’ll have to give me a free subscription.
I don’t dream for free.
