I rewatched and liked it a bit better. The episode does have a lot of depth; I guess I just found it kind of random, and it didn't blow me away. It's possible that it may seem different in retrospect. Hurley's dad could turn out to be very significant. You never know.
I was thinking more about the appearance of this hippyvan. I find it odd that it was so close to the Losties camp and just now happened to me discovered by Hurley, but I can give it a little pass because it was necessary for the episode.
On the other hand, this Roger died, still in the driver's seat, and was left there. There were blueprints for a dirt road, but there's no sign of a dirt road, unless it's grown over again. Interesting that there was so little wondering by the Losties about the why and wherefore. Maybe they are as tired as some of the audience is at this point.

Yeah - the Losties are getting complacent, probably because they keep getting supplied with food. The "We're about out of oat bars." comment - they just didn't seem all that upset, like they were certain they'd find a new supply. It's a bit like the island is their cage, and if they do what's expected of them (whatever that is), they'll get rewarded. Stay on the beach - find more food. And are they still putting the numbers into the computer every - how many minutes? - and who exactly is doing that, because it seems that Locke isn't anymore. I did notice the complacency about the food. Makes sense. And the computer and the button went bye bye, BTW. Oh, yeah. Blown up, it was.

Jeez. Is Lost the Island of the Daddy Issues, or what? Having finally watched this episode, yes, it surely is. And am I the only one who wanted to lock Sawyer and Kate in a room and tell them to kiss and make up? Also somebody needs to have a talk with Sawyer about the whole "pre-emptive strike reject them before they reject me" thing, because it really doesn't work out in the long run. Anne, and I know this from experience, not that it helps

Technically, Hurley didn't discover the bus, Vincent did, and then very carefully and patiently led the stupid human to it. It's beginning to remind me of a Rita Mae Brown mystery - the dog is smarter than the humans, or at least he thinks he is. I still say Vincent is running the whole thing. Maybe he's really just a projection into our universe of the real being in charge, like the white mice in Hitchhiker.

Although my impulses were less "lock them up together" (BT, DT) than "smack them silly until they do as I tell them". They're very frustrating.

I was considering knocking their heads together, but I was afraid it'd rattle the few brains they seem (collectively) to have left. I find the entire show frustrating.
