Televisionary has a very early tease for the third episode of Lost Season 5, “Jughead” — early because the first two episodes haven’t even aired yet. But fear not, spoilerphobes, all you’ll find here are vague hints and teases about what’s to come. It sure sounds like “Jughead” is a doozy:
As much as I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes of this season, “Jughead,” the third episode completely wiped the floor with me. I was alternately stunned, teary, shocked, and dismayed over the course of the forty-odd minutes that this episode ran. To say that this is a game-changing episode is a bit of an understatement, though not in the way that the flash-forwards or the rescue were. It’s more the fact that this single installment answers so many of the underlying mini-mysteries that have kept us wondering for quite a while.
Televisionary goes on to say:
…the episode deals not with the Oceanic Six, but with the characters left behind on the island and the power couple of Penny and Desmond, who makes some interesting discoveries on a life-and-death mission he’s been tasked with performing. And we gain a surprising (and poignant) realization about a life-altering event in Desmond’s own past.
And finally, these bits and pieces:
- Whatever Jughead may be (I’m not telling), it’s absolutely terrifying in its significance and could point at a major plot point yet to come on the series.
- You should pay especially close attention to headaches and nosebleeds.
- Some rather familiar faces turn up but in some unfamiliar contexts.
- Fumigation isn’t always really about fumigation.
- Benefactors are an interesting lot.
- Names can be both poignant and reverent.
- A compass is the key to understanding.
Good grief, is it Wednesday yet?!?
