Yeah baby! Strip off! (Where oh where was this shirtlessness last week, I ask you?!) Good - they all brought guns. Desmond!!!!! Woot! Of course, we should have known the minute we heard music. ;D I have to say - I really, really like Desmond. He's actually the first LOST character that I could actually become invested in. Although it does look like he's toast but then with LOST who the hell knows? I would love to have a character I could invest in. I mean I like the other characters but I'm not attached to any of them and some - I'm actually rooting for them to die. I do feel evil as I type that.

He didn't take the money and Libby met up with Desmond. And it wasn't just a drive-by meet thing, she gave him the boat. Holy moley! Asking Jin to sail the boat - good idea! Huh. Jin and Sun? So what other plans does Sayid have? Does he need Sun's skills with plants? Is she going for her own reasons? A big bird. That maybe said Hurley's name. That's just . . . well, it's just odd. Was that only in there so that Michael would learn he doesn't have bullets - that Jack suspects him? Or does the big bird mean something? Yea - what's up with the bird? Color me confused.

Campout! Eff off, Sawyer, with your "You serious?" And Michael is losing his shit more and more... Jack is subtle. "Live together: die alone, man" Morning sickness, not seasickness... The HELL is that? It is what is left of the Collossus of The Simpsons. Someone stole the fuses.. And how did Locke know the timing of the next drop/lockdown? Oh, he figured out how to short out the lockdown procedure Flash-Desmond!! Yeah, that book's sacred: it's to protect his life. As long as he hasn't read it, he won't die Though he may have acid trips involving biohazard suited men. Kelvin Inman. We're gonna have to anagramatize that one. And with the "quarantine" thingie everywhere, explains why he's in biohazard gear.... And I thought his first name was "Joe"? Wasn't that it when he was turning Sayid into a torturer? Clancy isn't listed as a guest star on this ep yet.... Anyone have a clue on what the big giant foot with four toes means? Anyone?

Is Michael getting . . . "sick"? Is Michael feeling guilty? "I don't know what is more disconcerting. The fact that the rest of the statue is missing or that it has only 4 toes." OMG - best line of the ep!! Hurley and Sayid get the best lines evah, I swear! OMG - one of the giant statues from the LOTR followed the hobbit Charlie to the island! Heeeeeeeeee!!! Oh, too fun! Locke grabbed Eko's Jesus stick! This ep has got some prime stuff in it. Any secret code that depends on snowman jokes is a little . . . well, odd. To say the least. And Kelvin doesn't seem all that gung ho anymore, to me. Bwah!!!!! Oh I see - that's what the statue means.

Hey! My theory was right. Not pushing the button might have brought down the plane. Go Karen! I'm always too confuzzled to have any theories. Basically, I just get on the log flume and ride this one. I save all my theoritizing for VM.

WTF? It's like an atomic blast without the, you know, actual blast. I know I for one feel very confused about what just happened. As in wondering if they are all now suffering from radiation poisoning. Which - yes I know they aren't because that wouldn't be attractive but . . . . . . And what is up with Charlie? Why is he just macking on Claire at the end and not frantically searching, helping Eko? Did Eko die and Charlie just leave him there?

This is the first week I actually saw one of these ads - but then I usually fast forward through all the commercials.

I guess we saw who is really in charge of the others. Yup. Not!Henry was lying about that too. Now he is magnificent. In a subtle, evil way. I applaud the actor's performance, it's really a career making role for him.

All the extras made it, I see. Good. ;D Once Michael leaves, he can't come back. And supposedly he and Walt will just motor away and be rescued. Uh huh. "We're the good guys." Well, I don't know that anyone I've seen on the island yet is a "good guy". Hurley is just supposed to wander on back and tell folks not to come here. And Kate and Jack and Sawyer go "home" with them. OK. But what about Sayid and Jin and Sun? Guys in the snow are tracking Desmond for rich girl by looking for a big ol' electromagnetic anomaly. Let me just repeat that, 'cuz I think I'm not making any sense. Guys in the snow are tracking Desmond for rich girl by looking for a big ol' electromagnetic anomaly. **blinks** **blinks** No, it makes sense. Here, you just have to filter it through the Insane Troll Logic. *Hands over filter* See? PERFECTLY clear, now, innit? See - this is why I was so confuzzled last night - I didn't have the filter, damn it.

Let's see: a compass bearing of 325 is 35 degrees west of North: approx North North-West. Save that compasses seem as if they are kinda useless if there's a strong magnetic source nearby: unless that little boat is equipped with a gyrocompass that has never been allowed to power down. I think they are doomed. They are so doomed. I second that. I actually thought the boat would blow up - which I would have been sad about Walt but Michael - not so much. I still think his character is beyond redemption. And they seem to have dropped Walt's storyline or become disenchanted with his character since he wasn't used much this year so I just have the impression that we might never see them again. Well - except in some random flashback since everybody and his brother is in everyone else's flashback at some point.

Jorge Garcia deserves an Emmy nomination and the win. The scene where Michael admits to his crimes is extraordinary. All the actors were terrific, but Jorge Garcia carries it, because he conveys so much with so little. Hurley continues to display show astonishing powers of emotional perception. Even as Michael weakly attempts to justify his actions regarding Libby as a moment of blind panic, Hurley cuts right to the core of things...all with a deadly calm voice. We know Hurley is capable of exploding dangerously when provoked...which makes his absolute stillness all the more powerful. That truly was a magnificent piece of acting. I had to restrain myself from yelling at Michael - because I kind of find him loathsome at this point and I was mentally hoping Hurley would hit him so hard it would send him flying. I sound so violent but I was just seething with frustration at Michael.

Words cannot express how bummed I was at not being able to watch this with everyone last night. Especially because I had actual interesting information to contribute: Penelope? Was also the name of Odysseus's wife. You know, the one who waited for him (in her case for twenty years) as he made his way home across the seas, remaining faithful to him despite enormous pressure to remarry (in fact, she showed herself almost as smart and resourceful as her famous husband by insisting that she could not marry anyone until she'd finished weaving a burial shroud for her father-in-law; she'd work on the shroud by day, only to unravel all her work each evening). Not at all meaningful in terms of last night's story, huh? Wow - very interesting.

Wow--I have another bit of knowledge not yet contributed? Awesome. Last night there was another name besides Penelope that made my ears prick up. Like John and Danielle before him, Desmond shares a last name with a famous philosopher: David Hume. He's even a fellow Scotsman to boot. From that same page, a brief summary of what Hume's philosophy was all about: Part of his fame and importance owes to his boldly skeptical approach to a range of philosophical subjects. He questioned common notions of personal identity, and argued that there is no permanent "self" that continues over time. He dismissed standard accounts of causality and argued that our conceptions of cause/effect relations are grounded in habits of thinking, rather than in the perception of causal forces in the external world itself. He argued that it is unreasonable to believe testimonies of alleged miraculous events, and, accordingly, hints that we should reject religions that are founded on miracle testimonies. Against the common belief of the time that God's existence could be proven through a design or causal argument, Hume offered compelling criticisms of standard theistic proofs. Also, against the common view that God plays an important role in the creation and reinforcement of moral values, Hume offered one of the first purely secular moral theories, which grounded morality in the pleasing and useful consequences that result from our actions.

Yup. Not!Henry was lying about that too. Now he is magnificent. In a subtle, evil way. I applaud the actor's performance, it's really a career making role for him. Definitely one of the best acting jobs on the show; particularly since the man, physically, is not very striking; it's his personality that shows through and makes him unforgettable. And yes, very subtle, measured, and thoroughly evil. Remember that extraordinary look he gave several eps back, while in the cell - it literally made me shiver, and realize that there was definitely more to him than met the eye.
