"Does anyone else know he's there?" Oh, Jack. Jack, Jack, Jack. "I've taken care of everything." Yeah, I'll bet you have. Not. An. Easy. Person. To. Trust. You think? Really? Oh you bastard Benry. Pushing the exact buttons that will work on Hurley. "Never, dude!" OMG, that totally was not what Benry was expecting!! You actually didn't see that coming at all. Whoa! What is it with all my fave shows trying to cut off people's hands? Locke to the rescue! Yay! Mysterious woman is back, bein' all mysterioso. And we have a new deadline - 70 hours.

Ben is working with the Sybil of Cumaea (who I think is Faraday's mother)? Well, that's not what they call her; but she's obviously possessed of some honkin' secret knowledge.

I know!!! I saw the dog on leash thing as they were running from the arrows and I'm all "Yaaaaaaaay"! Well, and also, "Don;t hit the dog". Vincent will not be killed; and it will be revealed that he's the Force behind it all....
G. Indeed. And when Vincent decides to make his move, watch out! ;D

Oh, Hugo. Telling his mom all about it. Is he gonna be believed? He's been so in pain about lying all along. OMG, the story does sound so incredibly insane-o. Frankly, they were probably better off lying just 'cuz of that. And there is the part that is so horrible to him. The rest of the survivors are still on the island. DAMN! Give Jorge Garcia an Emmy already!! Eeeeeeep!! Don't hurt my Sawyer!!! Strip him, if you must, but don't kill him!! Well, it's not like I want to be totally unreasonable.

From a Doc Jensen Lost article:...the ideological schism that has always existed within Lost: supernatural possibilities vs. naturalistic explanations — Man of Faith John Locke vs. Man of Science Jack Shephard. That very same issue splits fans, too. There are those perfectly content with the prospect that Lost is all Stephen King. Then there are those who really want Lost to be all Stephen Hawking. I think the latter camp worries that too much fantastical weirdness — ghosts; smokey monsters; time travel — will render Lost silly or diminish the rich human drama that hooked so many people in Season 1.
I asked Marc Oromaner, author of the new book The Myth of Lost, for his perspective on this. He tells me:
''Fans who prefer Lost to be completely natural just want the show they love so much to be relevant. I believe Lost's principles apply to our world no matter how supernatural its revelations end up being. Take time travel. On a surface level, quantum theorists not only believe it's possible; they're hoping the enormous particle accelerator in Switzerland will soon prove it. There's a deeper level of meaning to Lost however, and from here all of its mythology — no matter how bizarre — can be translated into actual principles that govern our world. That's the point of mythology — to explain the unexplainable. Decipher the myths of Lost, and you'll find what it's really telling us — that we're all connected, we all have a destiny, and that if we listen to the whispers, act in spite of our fears, and conquer the murky monster of doubt, we will succeed in fulfilling it.''

"Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?" For some reason, that struck me as so frickin' funny.

My lj post about Lost:
It feels so weird to finally be posting about Lost again. And, as always, I have absolutely no theories about this show as I just watch and enjoy the ride.
Things I liked:
1. Ana Lucia showing up to dead talk Hurley. Hee. Libby says hi. Hee. 2. Hurley's parents. I just like them. 3. Daniel Faraday. I like his character. 4. Sawyer with Juliette. I like this pairing and it's potential. 5. The island skittering all over the place. It was kind of cool. 6. Desmond. I love Desmond. I will always love Desmond. 7. Random Eathan showing up to shoot Locke. I was all WTF? 8. Random flaming arrow into chest of loudmouth annoying guy. Hee. 9. Time travel. It's always fun. Confusing but fun. 10. Minimal Jack. My least favorite character. 11. The opening scene which was cool and very Lost like. Loved it.
Things I'm scratching my head over:
1. So who wants to know whose baby Aaron really is? 2. Sun's choice of clothing at the airport. That looked like the outfit Nick got booted off of Project Runway for when he was dressing Daniel. (sorry that's just me. She just looked so unSunlike) 3. So I guess redhead gal whose name I don't remember is going to die some gruesome time traveling related death from the tumor that must be growing in her head causing her to forget things? Hey I watch GA, I know it's ALWAYS tumors when you can't remember things. 4. So why exactly does Locke have to die to get the island back to normal? And how did his body get off the island? And so they're just going to keep him on ice at the butcher shop? What about all the deteriorating organs? (Hey I used to watch CSI, I know his body is already rotting if he's dead. And was he embalmed? Is the island going to suck the embalming fluid out of him?) 5. So who exactly are the flaming arrow guys again?
Things I hated - Nothing. I love Lost and all it's freaky confusing ways. Welcome back show.

My fellow geeks, today is a day to hang our heads in shame. How in the HELL did none of us notice that Neil, the heretofore unseen character who landed a speaking role only to be killed, was wearing a RED SHIRT??

Teaser
Beer: the cause of, and the solution to all of life's problems.
Searcher. That's appropriate.
Ah, Frank.
Oh, wait. This is right after they got off the island.
Arguing about what to tell the rest of the world.
Someday you're going to need my help and you're not getting it. Ooh!
Flash to the "present"
Hurley's ride isn't so snazzy as his last one.
Is Sayid injured?
Ana Lucia!?!?! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, the stain is ketchup. I missed that.
Libby says hi. AIEEE!!!!

Part I
Firestarting 101. Rose and Bernard bickering.
Ooh, random extra survived.
Sawyer finds a shirt. Yay!
Oh, Frogurt. Right.
Daniel returns to the beach.
If they were to eat anything, would it stay in their stomachs when time shifted again?
I love my Shitsu. Hee.
I thought for a second there that Hurley was going to steal the shirt, adding robbery to his charges.
Gas is 3.22. That should put a time stamp on this scene.
Sayid and Hurley pull out; Kate and Aaron pull in.
Is this Clementine on the phone?
The hiding something in the air vent trick.
Ben's helping Jack go clean. How nice of him!
Preparing to leave this world for good.
Making a sandwich. Which looked good until the caviar.
Ah, Hurley's dad.
Expose again.
Hey, dad. How's it goin'? Hee.

Part II Oh, right. Sayid got shot by a dart. What were you in the zoo or something. Hee! You killed people? No, Sayid did. Oh, that's better. Like the Godfather. Heh. We need a doctor. Like Jack? Except for the part where he's strung out. Oh, Sun is the one who called Kate. butcher shop. There's a lot of food in this episode. The butcher knows Ben. Why am I not surprised? Gabriel and Jeffrey. Everything is right on schedule. So is this whole thing a set up by a conspiracy of people, or is "the island" controlling things? Nightfall. No fire yet. I like how we're back to season 1 basics. Mangoes! Charlotte's having neurological problems. Whatshisname has a baby boar. Which means that mama should be coming around soon. I wonder if that connects to the boar hunting in the first season? Weren't Kate and Sawyer tracking a boar at some point? It died in the jungle. But it's only been dead for 3 hours. Well, that's much better then. Flaming arrows???

Part III
So long Frogurt. We really didn't know you.
So how many Losties are left? There seems to be more than I initially thought.
Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch? Hee!
Everything's going to make sense, I promise. I'm going to hold you to that, Hurley.
Kate and Sun are having tea. Aren't they both a little too rushed to stop and have tea?
Then they're not interested in exposing the lie. They just want Aaron. Hmm. So Kate needs to "get rid of them." Wow, such an interesting contrast between Kate and Sun here.
So they did find Jack. And Jack brings Sayid to Ben.
Ben's plan is falling in place perfectly. mwah hah hah.

Go mama! Hugo's mom is the bestest! Both Hurley's mom and pop really came thru tonight, and good for them! Yes both performers did an excellent job and I loved the whole wink/breaking the fourth wall content of the conversation. Hurley and his Mom both saying they didn't understand and the producers using Hurley to tell us to trust them. Hee. Well done all around.
