I feel as though I’ve forgotten many times more details from the first three seasons than have even been presented in the recent two.
“Who’s the president?”
“Alright, dude, we’re from the future.”
Another genuine LOL moment from Hurley. He’s completely the highlight of this show for me week after week. (Well, that plus Juliet getting inexplicably hotter week after week. How does she do that?)
I can’t say I even remotely understand all the time travel shit at this point. I’d need to see it in pictures at this point. But it’s been a fun season nonetheless.
Hurley has owned the season, honestly.
Producers increase the thermostat in her trailer by one degree every shoot.
Maaaaaan are you going to be potentially disappointed. She’s been working on a pilot. You cannot film another show at the same time as Lost, unless somebody’s plotting a return for Hawaii 5-0. The general thought is that the ballyhooed guaranteed death of somebody significant in the cast is her, and that’s why she’s doing new work on the side.
Ugh … I hope that wouldn’t result in them flipping the triangle back over to Jack-Kate-Sawyer. Yuck.

I love how the most of the mysterious, spooky Others are just as will-less, follow-the-guy-who-seems-in-charge-without-questions anonymous-background cannon-fodder as the rest of the plane survivors.
That bothers me as well. There seems to be an endless supply of these guys. Where do they come from? We’ve seen that the Others used the Dharma stuff to get off the island and supposedly recruit from the mainland, and we’ve seen that Richard is apparently the only one that doesn’t age normally, so we are left to conclude that new Others are made fairly frequently to replace losses. Do they just take recruits and crash survivors and stick them in the Easy Bake Temple and they pop out as full-fledged Others willing to lay down their lives to advance the plot?
“Spear carriers”. Or, if you prefer a more modern term, “Redshirts”. It costs more money if they have actual lines, at the same time having them speak doesn’t advance the plot. Logically, they are more than just the few speaking parts, so the extras are essentially set decoration. I just accept that this is television and they have a budget and time frame to work in.
Remember when they were mystical uber-natives who could travel super fast, never had to sleep, fought like lions and would don beards and rags simply to fuck with the Losties?
Remember that cool, weird stuff where it appeared Sawyer and Kate were in a zoo with a bunch of meta-level spectators?
'Member the Sky Raft?! 'Member the River of Light?!
Anyone else notice how specifically the Others took Daniel’s instructions regarding the nuke?
“Bury it,” he said, which they seemed to have understood as: “Put it in a basement, and cover it with a tarp for good measure.”
That’s an anti-radiation space-age polymer tarp from THE FUTURE.
Pffffft…the tarp didn’t stop the radiation, dummy. It was OBVIOUSLY the mud that he spread over the big crack in the casing. Once you close the hole the radiations can’t get out. Don’t you know anything abut nukeyoular physics?
SERIOUS: How in the chuffing hell do you explode a nuclear bomb that’s leaking payload? You build a nuclear bomb by shaping a big explosive charge around a bunch of nuclear payload structured to start a chain reaction. If the crap is leaking out, that implies to me that the charge is probably not shaped right any more, and even if it is, that you probably no longer have critical mass to make your earthshattering kaboom.
I kinda figured from the word go that the Others didn’t exactly have a cement mixer to make a proper sarcophagus and that the best thing they could do is put it in a premade chamber. They might have shoveled some dirt on it, though, but then, it would be a pain to unbury it in a future episode.

The scene where Richard is working on the ship-in-the-bottle could be a hint toward where the ‘hostiles’ came from. I’ve always felt that if and when we see his backstory, it’s going to open up on the deck of the Black Rock, where he and Tom and the rest of the original others are the crew.
Also, imagine Sawyer and company going back to the past on the sub, getting rich, then sending their own group of mercs or whoever to the island to set things right. Those would be the guys with the mysterious crate.
For me, the biggest mystery is: what the hell does Hurley have in that guitar case? (and don’t say food; leave the big guy alone)
Well, thanks to spoilery previews for next week’s episode, we know that Sawyer gets off the sub somehow.
Y’know … and for the longest time I’d turned it off before the previews, but my girlfriend never liked that. So the past two times I’ve left it on, and that’s what they choose to show? Bleh.

Ahh… I guessed I missed that.
Well, if we believe what people say, we know that Richard thinks he sees Sawyer die at some point in the near future of the episodes anyway. I tend to assume that people who aren’t Ben aren’t lying, so I just assumed he’d be back.
