Sorry, Matt, no tats. Well, the Serenity one but that's a temp, you know? Well, how are you set up for frickin' laser beams? Oh, I've got laser beams out the wazzoo. Painful, that, and embarassing in certain social situations.

I understand that the tough "Tailie" gal has been brought in as another romantic distraction for Jack. After this episode, I'd much prefer to see her paired with Sawyer, or have them kill each other or something. I think she'd eat Jack alive. Interesting. 'Cuz from the preview for next week it looked way more like you'll get your wish for some hotness with Sawyer. And you're right - she'd chomp right thru Jack and just leave crumbs. ;D Very happy to see Rose - and that's what made me sure we'd be seeing her hubby. If I recall correctly, we never saw him on the plane. When she was talking to Jack, he was already in the bathroom in the tail section. I didn't think about the shampoo and so on. I'm also intrigued by the fact that it was only enough for 3 months for the one guy. Which means, he must be resupplied in some way. [/color][/quote] Love your list! Now I'm gonna have to make my own lottery fantasy wish list . . .

Well, now that they have the equipment . . . . Jack needs a shower. Sayid needs a shower. I'm just sayin'! I agree! And we need to see those shower scenes, to look for clues! Absolutely! They'd be tasteful and integral to the plot.

I know!!!!! How freaky must that be for Daniel DK, though? I mean, wouldn't you just want to run the moment you entered the bunker and saw him?! My son went crazy over seeing Holland & Gavin together again. I suspect the Senior Partners are on the other side of all that concrete. Oooooh! Scary! And cool! ;D

I also thought it was sort of like . . . if she thinks he's dead, then she's kind of burying the only bit of him she thinks she'll ever get. It's also, dammitall, another secret that parts of the group seem to be keeping from the entire group. And one that many people would think was important for all to know. I just want to grab them and shake them and shout "secrets are bad - haven't you grasped that yet?! !!"

Okay - I did not see this. But then probably because I was mesmerized by the chicken but there's a photo of Walt - missing on the milk carton Hurley is chugging. The Watercooler over at tvguide. com is posting this. Did anyone else see this? Cause you know if so - that is just great. I love things like that just kind of thrown in there and not anvilliciously beaten over the head with. Huh. That's really intriguing if it is, 'cuz . . . missing? How would that happen?

THIS is what I'm sayin'. Lots of people coming down on Locke for telling Hurley he can't quit, but ultimately, it's Hurley's own lack of spine that pissed me off. I know I'm gonna get the fruits and meats thrown at me now, but anyway: Money will change stuff, it's true. But how much and what kind is more controllable than Hurley led us to believe through his almost complete inaction. He lets the wind blow him around and doesn't take control of his own life, despite the fact that if he did, he'd arguably be one of the best around at making the good choices. He's improved, somewhat, since the lottery days, I'd say, but ultimately - you just tell Locke to fuck off and find someone else to do the inventory and whatnot, if you don't want to do it. I was most encouraged by his handing out all the food and supplies, even though I disagreed mightily with doing it. Not sure what I would have done, but keeping it all a secret or just handing it all out are not the only options. Agreed on that last part. I agree with Becky that they needed to do a little better rationing on it. But I figured Hugo for "not being able to quit" so much, because he was the one that EVERYONE trusted to be straight with them (well, except for Charlie, but that's because Charlie doesn't believe the $156 Million thing). I figure him for who Jack sort of... handed the job on to, because he knew him to be the fairest of them all that was already clued in: I would figure myself that it would be a good idea to inventory what you have, and figure out the best way to distribute it for dietary supplements over the long haul: along with rationing out the luxuries (shampoo, etc) equally. Rose would have been the better choice, possibly, with her serenity, but she did not recognize the danger in "just one bottle" of shampoo going out before the rationing started. But still, she would have been a better person to turn the job over to, if Hugo had been convinced he was mentally unfit to do it: much more so than blowing the shit up, ferchrissakes. Stupidity of that almost-decision is only surpassed by Jack using the fuselage as a funeral pyre, to me. So there were only three more months of supplies there for Dessie? I wonder about that: the storeroom did not look.... emptied, so much: strikes me that there would be a resupply, if he'd been there for so long, and Kelvin before him. Yeah, the blowing up thing was just . .. #wtf# is wrong with you, dude? I put it down to residual number panic. And, yes, the idea of resupply is very intriguing to me.

I love things like that just kind of thrown in there and not anvilliciously beaten over the head with. That is strange. So - we are to assume that for awhile, before the plane crash and back in the US, Walt was a missing child? I think not. Because it's a dream sequence. I think it's more likely referring (us, the viewers) back to the fact that Walt IS currently missing. He's been kidnapped. What's actually interesting is that it's Hurley's dream, and Hurley doesn't (consciously) know that Walt is missing. So either it's just a poke at the audience, or else somehow Hurley's subconscious knows that Walt's gone missing.

Or it's a type of "sending," for lack of a better word, similar to the vision of Walt that Shannon experienced out in the woods.

IAnd why can't he give up the responsibility? I mean, why not just say, "no, I'm not gonna". THIS is what I'm sayin'. Lots of people coming down on Locke for telling Hurley he can't quit, but ultimately, it's Hurley's own lack of spine that pissed me off. I know I'm gonna get the fruits and meats thrown at me now, but anyway: Money will change stuff, it's true.

I was most encouraged by his handing out all the food and supplies, even though I disagreed mightily with doing it. Not sure what I would have done, but keeping it all a secret or just handing it all out are not the only options. No fruits or meats coming from this direction. While my opinion of how Locke behaved is fairly clear by now , I also agree that Hurley needed to grow a spine in the worst way. Just like with the money, Hurley has something dropped into his lap that could be considered either a gift or a burden. Or both, actually. But Hurley chose to see only the negatives involved, and thus tried everything he could to avoid taking responsibility for that burden. And in a way, sharing all the food at once was just an extension of that attitude--'cause now he certainly won't have to deal with that job or its potential consequences ever again.

I had nothing but pissed-off-ness for the entire lottery-avoidance thing. Yup, your life will change. But...your life kinda sucks on many levels. Why wouldn't you want it to change? Because you're afraid, is why. Which, while I understand it, isn't a way to live life forever. I mean, it's not like he could have KNOWN the money would be cursed. And if you really don't want it, what's wrong with getting the money and then giving most or all away to your favorite charities? I just wanted to shake him and say, "DUDE! Millions of dollars! I mean, really. DUDE!"

I've heard that some winners of the truly huge jackpots are unhappy with the changes that come, not the least of which is that everyone has a sad story to tell concerning why they need a piece of what the winner has. I've got a standing deal with the PtB. I buy one ticket and one number at a time. If I win, fine, if not, that's to be expected. But 50% of all winnings go to charity. So far, so good.
