So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* A spinning wheel? Really?
* What it is you’re spinning has to come from someplace, traditionally a creature. This is Polar Bear Wool?
* Something in my brain looking at the back of the person spinning just went OMG CHARLIE!!!!!!
* Looks very old here…
* That thing on the wall is pretty and I bet Rob knows what it says. I wonder if it’s helpful at all.
* Black Rock?
* They’re American?
* Is it because I watch too much Battlestar Galactica that I think Black Rock “crashed” like 815 “crashed” like 316 “crashed” and this happens on the Island over and over again?
* Who are they? And which one’s Jacob?
* Do you know how badly I wanna kill you? WTF? What is the agreement. What loophole?
* Oh so now we know which one’s Jacob. But who’s the other guy?
* Gratuitous Statue shot! That was hot.
* oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhweeeeeeeeeeooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
* That was my dramatic (ascii) reenactment of the music at the beginning.
* I see they’ve upgraded Mac (in the “I’m a Mac” ads) from a hoodie to a cardigan. Nice.
* Trucks and corn! Weehaw!
* Kate? She’s green eyed and freckly.
* Oh look it is Kate.
* Wait is that Jacob? Did he appear in all their lives at some point?
* Pass? AWESOME!! Someone needs to give Kate a reality check. Such as reality is.
* mmm. Bossy Sayid is bossy.
* Manscara is all paranoid? Hrm.
* Oh good, Psycho Stewart is all worked up.
* Six years? Not FOUR years? Or EIGHT? (I had to ask!)
* I wonder why he’s so fixated on it being NOW NOW NOW. Can’t he wait till after a coffee break or something?
* Looky! Locke!
* A title I’ve discovered is incredibly temporary…hrm.
* So Benry admits he never met Jacob?
* “That is my recollection, yes.” hee!
* Manscara’s never seen someone come back to life, Locke’s never seen someone who didn’t age.
* So Locke tells Benry he is gonna KILL Jacob, and tells Guyliner he’s gonna THANK him. If that’s the same thing, I’m worried about Locke.
* I know a certain Mister Peacock is gonna LOVE that scene!
* Row, row, row, your boat, gently on the beach, merrily merrily merrily merrily 1973!
* Candidate, huh? FRIENDS?
* I think the phrase is “What the fresh hell is this?”
* It’s another H Bomb?
* Random church with a little kid. Two coffins? His folks? Sawyer?
* Yup. Jacob.
* I’m feeling like the pen is familiar.
* It’s The Letter!
* “What’s done is done”, huh?
* Sawyer shot Kate down, huh?
* How did Juliet swap Sawyer places? Weird. She’s convinced by Kate’s story and dragging him on an adventure? OMG!
* I like that she’s not like this all the time, because watching Juliet indulge in badassery is REALLY cool.
* HA! Tank top and no goggles or anything but he is wearing gloves working on the bomb.
* Whoa. MANSCARA is questioning all this? What in THE hell?
* Ah ha, maybe Locke had a plan by planting a tidbit with Benry to see what would happen.
* O! M! G! I think Locke just out-Benry-ed Benry! Didja see his whole face change when he said “You are.” DUDE!
* Aww, what are they planning?
* AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
* OK so Jacob saved Sayid’s life. But that was TERRIBLE.
* So that had to swim under a waterfall and all that but now that they are at the bomb they can just walk out?
* It’s Dharmia? Right next to the bomb?
* DUDE!
* Ohhhhh, it’s like that.
* Wait, “protecting our leader”?? Who is that exactly? Ellie?
* Who lives here?
* If they dodge the right folks they should be ok right?
* Oh it better not be Sayid who gets it. No no no no no no no. (etc)
* Oh don’t shoot him because of the nuclear device but slam the device up against a wall and that’s ok? Dropping Sayid ON TOP OF IT on the floor of the van is fine? Jebus.
* Oh Terminator. I want to like you. Really.
* Y HALO THAR SUBMARINE!
* Look at her face, Julet is sad to watch her possible happy future slip away.
* Every time someone gets in a boat I wonder if they’re the ones who fire flaming arrows.
* VINCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* ROSE!!!!!!! BERNARD!!!!!!!!
* Why aren’t they happy about this!?
* I understand all the tension and action but I want more of the Miles and Hurley Show.
* Oooh! Do webisodes of Miles and Hurley and their antics. I’d LVOE that.
* They’ve been stuck there for three years!?
* I like that Bernard has just as much sarcasm as Sawyer. (:
* They knew they were looking for them?
* “Because we’re retired.”
* “It’s always somethin with you people.”
* Rose is the smartest person on the show.
* So we die. We just care about being together.
* I cried when Bernard and Rose were reunited. I love them. Give them webisodes too! (:
* What’s in the box? Hurley’s guitar case? Hot Pockets?
* How does Ilana-Lucia know anything about anything on the island?
* So she already knows who he is? And apparently what he wants? WTF?
* What’s with the cabin? What’s the ash got to do with it?
* Shadow of the Statue, huh?
* It doesn’t seem like there’s enough cabin to light up the sky like that…
* Flannery O’Connor, Everything That Rises Must Converge (Short story collection.)
* OMG!
* Locke this time? What’s he gonna say to Locke?
* Did Jacob just bring him back to life? Did he apologize for bringing him back or for falling out the window?
* Does this mean the Island didn’t bring Locke back when he landed, Jacob did it already so it didn’t count as coming back when he got back to the Island?
* “I’m a Pisces.” Hee!
* Benry thinks Locke already knows he was pretending? Is Benry still a move or two ahead?
* “I lied. That’s what I do.” Wow, it seems like Benry’s finally broken.
* Does Locke have some sort of plan for something or is he just once again out Benry-ing Benry?
* OMG it’s Charlie’s DriveShaft ring! (sniffle) hang on a second, there’s something in my eye…
* Sun has some very nice vows.
* So does Jin.
* Now I think I have something in my other eye…
* Why are we stopping? Oh goody. Although the First Annual Jack And Sawyer Squint-Off might be fun.
* OOOH! Well. Sort of ooh. I’m sad there’s not more statue.
* How did they know Jack would be here?
* Ohh! From this we can deduce that each round of Squint-Off lasts 5 minutes.
* So Jacob (Christian) talked him down? Was that Jacob sitting over there?
* OMG it’s an Apollo bar! I had one when they released them a few years ago. It was good!
* “I guess it just needed a little push.” heh.
* Come on Jack, sit down! He used your real name and everything!
* Sawyer is talking to someone about this? Wow.
* What’s done is done, huh?
* Yes, Jack. What IS it about?
* OK, really? Jack is willing to change history for Little Miss Oh Today I Don’t Think I Like You I’ll Sleep With The Other Guy? THIS is his reason?
* So Jack is gonna REWRITE HISTORY for Little Miss PolarBearCamWhore? Oh you have GOT to be kidding.
* When he said “I had her” I thought he meant his ex-wife.
* Dude. Just…dude.
* Oh and Juliet just up and changed her mind? This is why girls have a bad rep, Juliet!
* Am I the only one waiting for someone (Sawyer) to say “This is why we can’t have nice things!!”
* Juliet, right?
* Seriously, Juliet, the man covered in someone else’s blood has a point.
* Juliet you are making me very sad. And Sawyer too.
* While what she says is true, doesn’t Sawyer know he and Kate could never ever be?
* Does it hurt? Oh let me poke at it with my jungle grubby hands then!
* LOST, you are losing me big time here. I’m not a Jater or a Skater, I don’t like her with either one of them. And now Jack’s entire motivation is HER? Puh-LEAZE!
* One Fruit Roll-Up. Hee!
* Jacob and a guitar case in a cab. Huh.
* Definitely NOT dead. Hrmmm…
* So Jacob did this to Hurley? Ohhhhhhh, ok…
* I like it better when Hurley just sees dead people Miles-style. I hope he’s not just crazy.
* “Not my guitar.” So it’s not his, or it’s not a guitar? ARGH!
* I love you Hurley. “Or the past. One of those.”
* Really, a guy covered in blood skipping up to the drill hole with a suspicious backpack? Yeah that’ll go well.
* No big Bruce Campbell-style “Gimme some sugar baby” when he takes off? LAME.
* I always thought it was an old LADY who lived in a shoe…
* (Yes I know it’s just a sandal. I was trying to be funny.)
* Benry doesn’t know what happened to the statue? Or just doesn’t want to say?
* I wonder why Richard is so huffy about this.
* How do you shut a door like that?
* If Jacob is such a special different dude type guy, will a knife really do it?
* I really hope it’s not Sayid, I like him. Nobody will sit and hold his hand?
* Miles has a point, what if this IS The Incident?
* Where did SHE pick up “Live together die alone”? She wasn’t there when they crashed…
* This should be…interesting.
* Nice! Here comes the Scooby Gang!
* BITCH THIS AIN’T A CUTSCENE PRESS A!!!!
* They’re such Star Wars fans, I wanted Juliet to say “I love you” and Sawyer to say “I know”.
* After all that, NOTHING!?!?!
* Oh here we go!
* OMG the hole is eating the drill! DUDE!
* And that’s how his arm goes, huh?
* GOOD! Stewart should get it!
* NO! That’s not fair and like the last time I saw someone get pulled down a hole it didn’t feel right.
* “Do you have any alcohol?” Hee!
* Well hello Ilana-Lucia. I’m sure they’re going to totally believe you that it’s ok.
* She asked again!!!
* What?????? There’s an answer? And I don’t know what it is???? ARGH!
* UPDATE: I looked it up. Answer is “Ile qui nos omnes servabit”, or Latin for “He who will save us all”.
* OK in the box was…Chucky Widmore?
* OMG! IT IS LOCKE!
* Kelly’s Mind: Will It Blend? Again, the answer is yes.
* So yeah WTF is that!?!?
* OK how is this a loophole? What’s going on here?
* Reincarnation or something?
* How is this a loophole?
* Dammit. This is Benry being all human and here’s his baggage all coming out. I hate when he’s human.
* Oh that’s better.
* Oh Sawyer I am so sorry for you.
* OMG SHE’S NOT DEAD!
* That little blood from the mought thing tells me she’s probably close though, right?
* And then it vanished?
* And now it’s white with black letters? OMG!
* So did it work? Do we know? How does this make the Island so you can’t be born there anymore?
* Will the final season be white on black credits?
* Are they copying Heroes with that “Destiny Found” like it’s the label of the final “chapter”? I hope not. They are SO much better than Heroes now.

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

PREVIOUSLY:
* Des and Dan. Awww.
* Ben and Ellie.
* I’m still not convinced we know what scratched Ben all to hell.
—–
* Desmond can’t die. Was he really shot though? He didn’t seem to be.
* He’s dead now isn’t he?
* I’m desperately curious what’s on television just there. That stuff is ALWAYS important.
* I wonder if that’s hard for Eloise to admit.
* RETRO!
* Dan left for Ann Arbor? Why don’t I remember that?
* I wonder why Daniel thinks his mom is so wrong.
* Daniel looks so serious, what is it he OMG STAR TREK
* Sorry. I got distracted and I couldn’t think. My brain was full of awesome.
* Who’s playing piano? Daniel?
* Oh it is him! I wonder why he stopped playing piano. He was really good. Does he still?
* That was some freaky math there, Daniel.
* “I can make time.” “If only you could.” Oh I think he can.
* Yes James, what ARE you busy with at 6am?
* Oh that.
* I love that he’s so casual about the bound up yelling man in the closet.
* So this is how Daniel got down in the hole with the Doctor Mister Changdlewick that time. Got it.
* But are we going to find out why? TELL ME WHY!
* Daniel wants through the wall in the bad way.
* Oh no he doesn’t.
* Daniel wants to help get everyone out! I feel bad for him that he doesn’t seem to get anything to go his way.
* How does he know the accident happens in six hours? Or that it’s catastrophic?
* Can he get Changdlewick to believe him?
* I don’t think we’re done with Miles and Changdlewick yet either, there’s more there too. At least I want there to be more.
* Oh it’s like that! Just blurted it out?
* Is MILES the Variable?
* Come on Miles, fess up.
* So DANEL is why Miles and his mom moved away? That’s kind of sad.
* WOW Eloise is certainly cold.
* Why was I worried about #ShaggyScola when clearly #FloppyhairFaraday is a MUCH bigger issue.
* Does he know anything about who Widmore really is?
* Poor Dan, I feel bad for him more now.
* What is she talking about?
* So there’s the journal. Is SHE the Variable?
* YAY Hurley! Wishy-washy. Heh.
* Twitchy! Hee!
* Somehow I always thought Miles and Sawyer would be good friends.
* What does Daniel know that he isn’t telling us??
* ZOMG she’s a Hostile?
* She can’t be a Hostile.
* But-
* Nooooo…
* She was part of the-
* Nah.
* Was Chucky a Hostile for awhile too?
* How did THAT…
* Now it’s the fake plane.
* Here we are at the start of last season?
* Chucky?
* So now Dan has no memory? Short term?
* Wired. Heh.
* New opportunity?
* What on earth does Chucky want with Daniel, especially now?
* Old friends? So does he know?
* I hate when everything hinges on Kate.
* Oh look, Juliet stepped up and sorted it out.
* Fence: 141717 I wonder what that is.
* I wonder who the “us” is Juliet means. Her and Sawyer?
* Is the war between the Losties who go and the Hostiles?
* Oh now Dan finds Charlotte….
* Wouldn’t Miles be interested to know that’s CHARLOTTE over there?
* Do you have something for a beginner? hahaha
* Yes, with BULLETS being fired, let’s all get in the one OPEN vehicle with NO protection and drive away.
* Is mom what screwed up his playing?
* I get that he needs to be fixed, but was it what happened with Theresa that broke him or something else?
* Why isn’t she proud of him already?
* What side is SHE on? Is Ellie helping Widmore? What does it gain her? How does that line up with Ben?
* Any one of us could die. So don’t wear a red shirt LIKE JULIET.
* Oh crap Hugo’s got a red shirt on under his jumpsuit too. NO NO NO NO don’t take Hurley!
* I just got shot by a physicist! heh.
* Oh that can’t be good.
* Yeah look, a guy in the closet. And no witty comment from Sawyer?
* Dan seems really on top of it right now.
* Gee, I wonder if he’s rebelling against destiny because it’s been forced on him all his life.
* Detonate the H bomb? That’s…extreme.
* Why doesn’t she know now? Why did she know before?
* Oh thank Gord he’s all right.
* They are so lovely.
* Sacrifice?
* I have a very hard time wtih Chucky because I don’t understand what he gains here.
* Y halo thar Hostulz! I can haz Ellie?
* MANSCARA! It’s been awhile, buddy! How are things?
* Three seconds? Listen to you Daniel!
* OMG!
* She didn’t know? She knew. Right?
—–
* I keep feeling like I need another little snippet of conversation. Between Daniel and Chucky, Ellie and Chucky, Hurley and ANYBODY.
* Maybe Ellie knew after. Like, at the time she didn’t know but later in her timeline she finds out everything.
* I am VERY curious how (to Penny) she says she doesn’t know what is going to happen like she somehow does the rest of the time.
* I also really want to know more about how it went down with evacuating people.
* So maybe Miles was born there. And Charlotte. And let’s say Daniel too. What about Naomi?
* Is the bomb what effs up the island for babies being born on it? If so, how?
* What does this mean for Theresa?

Not as excited about this episode in general. I am gonna miss Daniel. I hope we get more action in the finale!

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* Time on the microwave? 3:16.
* Who is this woman? She looks familiar.
* That’s Miles. I’ll bet money.
* I feel like I’ve seen the guy too, but I don’t know why.
* Weird vision…of COURSE it’s Apartment 4.
* Has this happened before? How did he know to check the rabbit?
* Mister Vonner? Is Kimberly Vonner someone we know?
* I guess Miles isn’t used to it. Poor guy.
* Sweaty Kate is Sweaty.
* So this is them coming back from giving baby Benry to Manscara.
* Oooh, a circle of trust? Oh goody.
* Radzinsky? What are they trading with Radzinsky?
* 334 huh? And no erased tape for La Fleur.
* Am I gonna have to listen to these goofballs go on about the Circle Of Trust all night? I hope not.
* It’s a body bag?
* Who’s that guy? Is he actually a DI guy or is he a Hostile in a familiar outfit?
* I like that it takes hardhats to transport the dead guy.
* DRIVE AWAY FIRST MILES! JEBUS! It doesn’t have to be far.
* Pierced up Miles is Pierced. He’s generally Spiky it seems.
* I like that we are seeing some humanity in him. This is a VERY nice change.
* How does she know he’s dead?
* Did The Island do this to her somehow (if he’s Doctor Mister Chang-dle-wax’s baby).
* PIERRE!?!? If Miles got sent away then at least he probably won’t meet himself now. Right? RIGHT?
* Will Miles figure it out? I’m desperately curious now.
* Will this conversation finish without a mention of the Circle of Trust? Oh thank Gord yes.
* I like that Hurley is optimistic and in charge of the food. (:
* Isn’t that Benry’s pa? But he isn’t there…ohhhh crap.
* Either Benry vanishing or the nonerased tape coulda started the war I bet. Both?
* Well…here we go. Why does it freak me out that Juliet seems OK with this? Or already knows??
* Bounty Hunter? Awesome. I don’t care why Hurley needs to know. He’s fab.
* Hurley’s uniform is cute. “Chef”. (:
* Maybe it smells like DEAD GUY! Work it out Miles, come on!
* What an odd story.
* I like that Hurley figured it out AND is ok with it.
* Hurley can too? Wait, what?
* This is a lot like Miles looks now, this might not be long before he got on the freighter…
* Miles don’t you feel bad? Look at this gentleman here on the verge of tears. Cost extra.
* I think it’s worse this way because we’ve seen humanity in Miles before. If he was always just a mercenary it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
* Hi. My name’s Naomi WEARING A TERRIBLE FAKE WIG. Let’s have coffee.
* Hi Dharmaland. I know Roger drank before which is why Benry didn’t like him, but in the afternoon?
* Does he feel bad because he realizes Benry was a good kid or because he realizes he wasn’t Father of the Year?
* Hey um, Roger? Kate blew up a man in Iowa, just to watch him die. Maybe you should chill.
* I love the Dharma vans. Less when they play the Captain and Tennille. eek.
* OHHHHH, so THAT is what Hurley is talking about.
* I’m loving the cover of the composition book.
* Bounty Hunter huh? I’m still stuck on that.
* Good job Hurley! “I won’t tell anyone about the body.”
* So Hurley isn’t good enough to know but Pierre has two random schmucks who are?
* I wonder how Miles figured it out. Doesn’t he have to be dead before Miles can peek around in his mind? Was it his mom’s?
* AHH! Dude on a counter! AHH!
* She has a point about the wad o cash.
* Felix huh?
* Watching Miles work is weird. And very cool. And weird.
* Papers, photos, pictures, of empty graves, a purchase order for an old airplane…
* Well now I know just about when we are.
* How does Naomi know if Miles is right or wrong?
* Dead people can help find Benry? Hmmm.
* Does Miles know about the training films?
* His mom got in line behind him? Awwwwwwwk-waaaaaaaaard!
* Oh look, Jack’s trying to cover for a drunk cow-orker.
* What was on the chalkboard? I thought some of it was useful looking.
* Jack looks younger now than when they landed. Well it is 30 years earlier. (:
* Longest. Van Ride. Ever. (:
* Hurley, are you helping or hurting?
* Wife likes Jazz, Pierre likes country? Hrm.
* I love Hurley. I need another Hurleysode and soon. I wanna resolve this dead people stuff.
* What are they building behind the gate?
* OMG IT IS THE HATCH!
* 4 8 15 16 23 42. You don’t say.
* Why hasn’t Miles been clued in on any of this? I guess Hurley doesn’t have much of a chance to explain huh?
* Van of freaky guys?
* BRAM? He’s the guy from the Ajira crash! How the hell did THAT happen!?!?
* Talk him out of working for Widmore? huh.
* How does Bram know Miles is working for Widmore? How does Bram know what lies in the shadow of the statue? Is this gonna be a Paolo/Frogurt situation?
* Does Bram know Benry?
* I like Hurley trying to be Miles’ friend.
* Miles he’s being nice to you.
* A spy robot thingy? I love you Hurley.
* Chewbacca: rarrrrrr. Kelly: heeheeheehee!
* I wonder how long Jack waited. I wonder how long they stared at each other and didn’t talk.
* Oh look the unerased tape. Here we go indeed.
* Hey look it’s Human Miles again. That’s what makes it worse when he’s jerky.
* …like THAT THERE.
* Hurley’s bringing it back to Star Wars.
* In an alternate universe, Kelly and Hurley are great friends and go on awesome adventures.
* “Let’s face it, Ewoks suck dude.” Hurley wins at Season Five.
* Yeah this is the part of Miles I like because he’s human and I don’t like because he ignores it sometimes.
* Me And My Polar Bear: Real book?
* “I need you.” “You do?” Oh Miles.
* Scientists from Ann Arbor? Like, Michigan?
* Who came in this batch we need to know about?
* FARADAY? HORY CLAP! He’s all…not broken and stuff! WTF?
* And with that, my mind is blended. No theories till later. Nighty night!

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

PREVIOUSLY:
* BANG! Poor Benry.
* Oh look here’s the copout moment. But they don’t show the copout (he’ll just forget everything). Hmmm.
* Alex getting shot. That was still sucky.
* IcySun with the oar.
* He’s the man who killed me. That was still odd and cool. How many people can say that? (:
* For my own notes: Frank, IcySun, Benry, Cesar (?), and Locke are all in the “now” with Sayid’s bounty hunter (Ilana). I’ll add to this later on.
—
* Horses? Who’s that guy? Where is this? Is this the KlooCamp from our time?
* How do all these island people with curly hair keep it so nicely maintained? I’m serious.
* Who is this accented fellow?
* Let him die? That’s nice of you accented man.
* Jacob? Oh here we go.
* Was there someone else before there was a Jacob? Or is it a Dread Pirate Roberts situation?
* “Just because you’re living with them doesn’t mean you can’t be one of us.” Well played, accented fellow.
* IT’S WIDMORE! OH SNAP!
* This makes me wonder and wonder about Benry’s life now.
* HA! That face! Welcome back to the land of the living. AWESOME.
* True, why are you surprised.
* Benry broke the rules by coming back? Hmmm.
* I wonder how Benry would get judged.
* Does he mean Ol Smokey? That’s how you are judged? How do they set someone up to be judged? Was Mr Eko worthy and that’s why it didn’t swallow him or something?
* Hello Campy Camp! Hello Ana Lucia-oh, wait.
* Two things: 1. His shirt is blue so he won’t die. 2. Was he on the plane? I don’t remember.
* “Like someone hit me with an oar.” Heh.
* So Benry is setting Locke up? Is this a “What do I have to lose?” situation?
* At least he didn’t say his name was Henry Gale again.
* OMG! Lookit all that dark hair! And that scarf! Very dashing.
* Ethan is a blondie? Huh.
* What’s with all this stuff on the beach?
* Oh it’s Danielle. Infected us?
* So he really did straight up steal her! That’s sad.
* Every time you hear whispers you run the other way? How’s he know? What’s that mean?
* What IS this station where people keep hanging out and searching? Do we know and I can’t remember? (NOTE: Lostpedia says it’s an office at Hydra Station.) Why don’t I remember Hydra being SUPER close to the beach?
* So Locke walks into Benry’s “old office” and then proceeds to sit in his chair, behind his desk. Symbolism? Locke taking Benry’s place?
* Let’s discuss the elephant in the room.
* Is Benry gonna mention he told Cesar that Locke’s a crazy man?
* What is this critical info we’re talking about?
* It was in the best interests of the Island. How? And how does he know? And why is that?
* Oh yeah, we’ll just talk some sense into the KILLER SMOKE PILLAR and it’ll be fine.
* Here we go. Locke is full on being set up. Thanks Benry.
* DUDE!
* So if that’s how it was gonna go, why did Benry have that talk with Cesar? And who did Cesar tell?
(NOTE: I know ABC named him “Caesar” but the generally accepted Latino spelling is Cesar. I went to high school with a few so I’m leaving it this way.)
* Hey look a dock. Is this the dock we’ve spent so much time on before? I’m thinking yes.
* Sun and Lapidas? Cool.
* OK who hurt his arm then? Whoever he tangled with before they left?
* Benry’s the only one who can summon it?
* Lying? True, Benry doesn’t care about rules. He did care about Alex though.
* And back to the camp.
* Hi Richard!
* So was Alex born on the Island? I think she was and I wonder how.
* Protecting this Island? So how long has Widmore really been there? This whole time? Does he come and go?
* Whose idea was it to live here? Interesting question.
* Dude! “What The Island Wants” Smackdown! You’d think it was a woman.
* Who IS in Alex’s room? Sun?
* Was that Risk? Looks like the green pieces were winning. Are there 108 Risk pieces out? (:
* Oh look it’s Sun. I’m shocked.
* Hi Frank!
* Ooh! Is this where we answer how come Benry doesn’t know? Damn, I guess not.
* Met a crazy old man, huh?
* I wonder what Locke’s gonna do for them. I wonder if he knows.
* Is it down the well again?
* “As long as the dead guy says there’s a reason then I guess everything’s gonna be just peachy.” Good point!
* Sun can’t just leave.
* I wish Frank wouldn’t leave, he’s kind of interesting.
* Go get judged already Benry!
* He has a secret wall in his secret room? That seems…excessive.
* I hope Rob has some insight on the Door Of Probably Egyptian Characters. (:
* Water, huh? Isn’t that his hurt arm?
* I wonder what’s outside and how the drain changes any of that.
* Well it looks like Alex didn’t spend long living in a tent. I wonder if that’s why Benry suggested living in the houses, for her.
* Is Chucky in cuffs? I can’t really tell but it looks like his wrists are tied together and he’s escorted by gunmen.
* Left the island regularly? Didn’t Benry leave too? I wonder more about Penny’s childhood now.
* I wonder if Chucky has some bigger reason for not liking Alex.
* Did Benry fink and that’s why Chucky’s leaving?
* Go ahead and panic there, Sparky. It’s really helpful.
* Tell her how you know Locke’s dead, Benry! Oh I think you just did even if you didn’t say it.
* “Dead is dead. You don’t get to come back from that. Not even here.” Is he convincing himself or Sun? If Locke is an aberration does that make it easier to deal with losing Alex? If the Island can bring people back from the dead but didn’t bring Alex back then Chucky was right and Benry still lost and he probably can’t take that.
* I wonder just how long ago it was in Benry time that Alex died.
* I like that Benry has the living hell scared out of him right now. I think he deserves it.
* “What’s about to come out of that jungle is something I can’t control.” rustle rustle rustle LOCKE! Whaddya know, he was right! (:
* How does Locke know where it actually is? Am I missing something there?
* I like that it seems Locke has evolved a little, he has a little bit of empathy for Sun now.
* Oooh! He called Chucky, he’s going back today, and he’s not beat up right now. hmmm.
* Please don’t be Penny, please please please.
* How does the knowing work? Benry’s huffy.
* HA! Locke is totally saying what I just thought. You don’t like not being boss, huh?
* I hope if nothing else Benry has a little respect for Locke after that.
* Are they going to the Temple? Oooh! They are!
* How is it Benry can say “our” temple? Did the Hostiles build it? Ancient Egyptian Hostiles? (:
* How is there a hole there? Who dug it?
* Find Desmond Hume and tell him I said I was sorry. Oh no no no no no no no no no (etc)
* Has that temple wall hole always been there? Did we something dragged into it before?
* AHH! Is Des ok?
* Oh no not the Chucklet!
* So Des beat the crap out of him. GOOD!
* But OMG THEN WHAT????? ARGH!
* Who’s that guy? In his RED SHIRT?
* Ilana and three of THE OTHERS, huh? You don’t say.
* I think I am going to call her Ilana-Lucia from now on.
* What lies in the shadow of the statue? OW!
* No really, what DOES lie in the shadow of the statue?
* If you know what lies in the statue of the shadow, can you tell me what the statue is too? Thanks!
* So Locke was right. I wonder if he had a hunch or if he really did know.
* Hory Clap! did he break his leg too? That’d be…familiar.
* Who was the last person to be in this part of the temple? Statuebuilders or someone else?
* Rob, I hope this is real stuff for you to translate!
* Hey that IS where Ol Smokey lives!
* This seems different than when Mr Eko stared it down.
* So this is all about Alex and not any of the other bajillion terrible things he did?
* I feel bad for Alex that the last thing she heard was Benry denying her.
* Wait that’s it? It’s gone? Is she real or is she like the Mouth Of Sauron speaking for Ol Smokey?
* He’s planning to kill Locke again? Oh goody. I mean I’m not surprised, but yay.
* Was he judged and now he’s being punished by having to follow Locke without question? Seems like that’d be pretty bad for Benry, being but a follower.

Next week is the Miles Show apparently. I wonder who’s in the bag. And does it mess with timelines that he was talking to Doctor Mister Changdlewick?

hmmm. Interesting this week. At least one big answer but I still feel like there’s no way to wrap up enough stuff in another 20 episodes.

NOTE: Lostpedia says this episode’s title refers to a line from Mostly Harmless of the H2G2 five book trilogy: “Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.”

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

Previously:
* Why are you showing me Clementine and (looking it up) Cassidy?
* What did he whisper? I still can’t tell!
* Yes, let’s review Sayid’s Special Purpose.
* Poor Baby Benry. He’s not e-vill (like the froo-its of the dev-ill) yet so I feel bad for him. He’s just a kid!
* Jack just asked a question, why are you being jerky Horace?
* I’m a little creeped out by Benry’s pa putting the Dharma mack (Dharmack?) on Kate.
* Oh so NOW Roger cares about him?
* Sawyer sent her? That’s gonna be a weird conversation.
—–
* I’ll admit Cassidy has some valid points.
* I wonder if Aaron IS actually Sawyer’s baby. IT COULD HAPPEN!
* I also wonder why she told the truth.
* What do you really think you’ll find in Sayid’s cell?
* Is it Jack who gets blamed?
* How well do Sawyer and Miles work together the rest of the time? So far they seem to get on well. I wonder if it’s the smartass thing. (:
* You can leave but I’ll shoot you in the leg. Cute!
* I know we all want to laugh at Hurley but you KNOW you’d do the same thing. I would too.
* I agree with Miles I think, but my first reaction would still be to stare at my hand.
* What do you mean no?
* We can’t change what’s already happened? AND?
* Oh so it’s because he’s petty? Sawyer is way better at bossing people than Jack is.
* Jack, I think the Island DOES fix things itself. Just not you.
* You didn’t like the old me, Kate. ooooOOOOOooooh!
* I wonder if Kate really is a universal donor. Do we know?
* Engaged? Oh yeah…I only sort of remember that. Did it last longer than a weekend?
* That bastard doesn’t ask any questions he doesn’t already know the answer to. True!
* OMG! Roger is figuring it out?
* You TRIED to do? You know you totally failed? You know mom wouldn’t want you to get drunk and clock him right?
* For the thousandth time, you dingbat…hee! I like them.
* THANK YOU HURLEY FOR ASKING THE $64,000 QUESTION!
* Does Juliet need stuff or just need to ditch Roger?
* I do like that Kate is looking out for Juliet.
* Juliet and Kate are working on Ben? This sounds…serious.
* Kate jumps in the Dharma van and her dash has spot in it just like mine does when I take my CD Player face off. Except I didn’t do that in 1977. Huh.
* Oh look, here we are on the pier AGAIN! I feel like I’m watching Clue with the three endings. When is Ben gonna fight with Sun over how many shots she fired? 1 + 2 + 2 + 1…
* Now that’s all I can think about. Kate going Flames…on the sides of my face…
* Maybe we’ll see where KATE went this time?
* Aisle 5? Not 4? Or 8? Am I going to look for The Numbers forever?
* What a spoiled kid. I need milk. Now I need a juice box.
* Where’s Aaron? She was holding his hand and how he’s gone huh?
* How’s she gonna find him? “Have you seen my son? He’s about as tall as THE HEELS ON MY SHOES!”
* Long wavy blonde hair huh? Didn’t look like CLAIRE or anything? She’s not freaked out at ALL.
* Y HALO THAR OTHER VAN! Who’s driving you?
* Oh goody.
* Tell my dad I’m sorry I stole his keys. It’s still a good idea to save him now I think.
* Sawyer called her Freckles! Is that bad?
* Auntie Kate, huh?
* Does she like being Auntie? I don’t.
* How much older than Aaron is Clementine? She was in a crib last time right?
* How did these two end up friendly enough that her daughter calls Kate Auntie?
* I wonder what Kate’s reasons are. Juliet has Doctory reasons for helping Ben.
* Sawyer is saving Benry for JULIET!? Niiiiiiiiiiice.
* “You mind giving us some privacy?” Because in case you couldn’t tell, I’mma cut a bitch up in this piece and it’s hard to get blood outta them there Dharma suits. Thanks! (:
* I love that Miles and Hurley are playing Bones. I also love that they know to get the hell out of her way.
* It’s not Ben yet, he’s just a kid. Wow.
* I like that Juliet is finally asserting herself. I know it’s just in the bathroom to Jack but I’m glad for it.
* I wonder if Sawyer and Kate together is bugging Jack.
* I came back because I was supposed to? FAIL.
* So Kate actually gets to have this talk with Sawyer?
* I wonder if Cassidy was right about Sawyer.
* DUDE!
* I wonder if you can hear them clank when Sawyer walks.
* Oh it’s Manscara time missy and we’re going NOW!
* Why is she talking to Claire’s ma?
* Kate is gonna give him back!?
* How does Kate know Claire is alive?
* Why is Kate blabbing to everybody?
* See? You don’t know if she’s alive! Just tell her you know she didn’t die in the crash!
* Why did you lie? That’s the best reason you have?
* So that’s where Aaron skipped off to when Kate got on the plane…
* To find your daughter? Puh-LEEEZE.
* I can’t seem to feel bad for Kate right now. I feel bad for Aaron, but not that mess that’s ditching him.
* Oooh! Guyliner saves the day!
* I wonder if this will actually work.
* If I take him he’s not ever gonna be the same again. So this is what makes Baby Ben into Benry? The Benry that LOCKS YOU IN A CAGE later?
* Without asking Illy? Elly? Charles? Do Mama Faraday and Papa Chucky run things for the Hostiles like Sawyer and Juliet?
* Why will he forget this happened? And what will he forget? Getting shot? WHO shot him? Just the last day or like, the last week?
* What goes on in there?
* AWESOME. That’s the smirky face I love from Locke.
—–
- Sounds like next week it’s the Benry show.
- What happens in the Temple?
- How does Richard know that’s what happens?
- Why won’t Benry remember anything? Because writers painted themselves into a corner? (I don’t want to be cynical but come ON!)
- If Juliet is an Other does she know anything about the Temple?
- Once we’re done with Benry can we talk about our Lostaways again? Sun and Jin? Penny? Desmond? WALT? Come on.
- Are we ever gonna find out what the deal is with the island curing cancer and resurrecting Locke but no babies?
- Where WAS Benry when he woke up? It looked like less than a building but more than camp.
- How did Locke find Benry?
- How did Benry NOT know Locke was there too? They were all kinda in the same place before.
- I like that Kate and Juliet are over themselves. That’s kind of a nice change actually. There are way better stories to tell.
- I still sort of want Miles to explain time travel to Hurley using a Mad Magazine Fold-In to explain timelines.
- As a fellow pop culture checker, I wonder how often Hurley has blurted something out in Dharmaville that didn’t make sense to anyone. A war, in the stars? Who’s Alex P Keaton? (:
- Still no Daniel. I’m a little worried about him.
- Is it possible somehow we still aren’t done with Aaron? Claire’s ma has to fly home doesn’t she?
- Will we actually find out what happened to Claire? Aaron? Clementine? Ji Yeon? Baby Charlie?

That’s all I got for now. Theorize away!

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* I love that the Previously section includes more than just this season. That’s nice! It also reminds us that Sayid had a “jowly” period there for awhile.
* So which one is Sayid? The one who would or the one who wouldn’t?
* Ah ha. Now I’m curious what happened to his brother.
* So here’s Benry bringing sammiches to Sayid. He seems nice. I wonder if this is before or after he begged to join the Hostiles.
* Book: Carlos Castaneda, A Separate Reality.
* They can’t hear, huh?
* Oh, he ran away four years ago. So the kid is four years older now than last time they filmed with him. Convenient. (:
* At least my question got answered, this is after he met Richard.
* I know I shouldn’t underestimate Benry but here he’s just a kid. How can he help Sayid?
* Moscow? Oooh! Weren’t we in Russia once before? No?
* When the crap is this?
* Oh it’s flatironed slightly jowly Sayid. I wonder just when this is though.
* So how is this what went down?
* You’re gonna just cut him loose? Sayid sounds weird. Is he dubbed or something?
* I’m still not entirely certain how they got mixed up together.
* Horace freaks me out a little.
* “I’m Horace.” I know. You’re clearly labeled. (:
* Once again LOST, I am ALL kinds of interested in how this goes down.
* So who’s “the next level”? Sawyer or JC?
* IT’S BACON!!!!! (Sorry. I had to.)
* I do not doubt Sawyer has it under control but I want him to look her in the eye and say now that he has the option he chooses Juliet.
* A twelve year old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I’m doing?
* I have to admit I’m pretty surprised Sawyer likes his “La Fleur” lifestyle, but he certainly seems to.
* Oh noes. Con Artist vs Iraqi Republican Guard? My money’s on Sayid.
* I like Hurley. I want to see more of him!
* I wonder what will happen with Kate now. Even if she decides she wants Sawyer back will he take her?
* I wonder if Sayid will feel a little bad for Benry now, knowing what he knows.
* Oh look, Habitat for Humanity Sayid. With realistic hammering action!
* How was John Locke murdered? Oh that’s right, BENRY!
* I’m not convinced it’s in Sayid’s nature. I think he does what he has to do.
* I wonder if we will ever see a moment when Big Benry recognizes Sayid.
* I also wonder if Sayid will be part of who/what precipitates The Purge.
* Is this Kloo or Clue or whatever the hell her name is?
* Oldham? Do I know him yet?
* Ohhhhhh, goody. “He’s our you.”
* He looks a little “This is my brother Daryl, this is my other brother Daryl.” to me. (And I’m right! Number 71!)
* Is it LSD or something?
* I don’t need all this replay it wasn’t that long ago.
* “If I see you again it will be extremely unpleasant for us both.” I wonder if that will end up being true since next time he saw him it was Baby Benry.
* Who is she? Is she really an air marshall person? Was she looking for him?
* I think I like her. She gets on well with Sayid, too.
* I wonder what will happen if Sayid tells the truth. He doesn’t have a choice, apparently, so I wonder what will happen to him. They won’t believe his story but they won’t believe he lied, either.
* Do we know Radzinski from some other context? I’m not sure I remember him. (He’s been mentioned, I looked him up and he drew the blast door map and killed himself in the Swan station according to the other guy in the Swan station, Kelvin, who was the guy there with Desmond.)
* “Because I am from the future.” Oh here we go.
* “How are you with a flat 4 engine?” How are YOU with a flat 4 engine Juliet? And WHY are you anything with a flat 4 engine??
* Sawyer just got an eyeful of Kate and Juliet. He’s gotta be Dharma-ing in his shorts right now.
* Ann Arbor?
* Why don’t they just give him another day? How is ONE DAY so uncivilized?
* How does Amy get to convince them? Why does she get a chance to say anything? Dharma strikes me as a “shh, baby, grownups are talking” sort of situation.
* I would really like to say it’s unanimous? WHY DID THAT WORK?
* Oh my.
* Oh my!
* Who is he? Oh the golf course guy. That’s why we saw that in the Previously.
* WTF? Sayid turned into Locke? There is a reason for him to be here?
* “Hey.” “Hi.” Awwwwwk-warrrrrrrd!
* Christ with a Molotov Cocktail! Who sent the van through Dharmaville?
* Who lives in there? Is it the community center?
* Wait, did Benry do it to spring Sayid?
* Oh look, Benry did it to spring Sayid.
* Um. Is this Sayid’s Special Purpose? To bring down Dharma?
* Oh look, Sayid’s Special Purpose is to bring down Dharma.
* Airport.
* Oh, Ajira 316.
* Are you sure we’re going to Guam? hahahahahahahahahahaha
* I wonder how they ended up on that flight just in general. Didn’t Hurley buy all the tickets?
* “A monster responsible for nothing short of genocide.” Is this because you helped him commit it?
* If Sayid helped Benry get away from Dharma and eventually bring them down, doesn’t that mean Benry owes him one? How does Sayid end up working for him?
* WHAT
* THE
* FRAK
* ????????????????
* How does Sayid just straight up shoot him?
* Doesn’t this bugger up like 23 different timelines?
* How is there a Big Benry if Sayid shot Baby Benry?
* I am SO confused right now. And I love it. This is something to puzzle over.
* If there’s no Benry how is there a Dharma Decimation?
* Are we in alternate timeline land now?
* Is there some other reason why this happened but isn’t causing tragedy? Is it because they ended the episode first?
* He didn’t kill Jin, so what happens when he wakes up?
* Hurry up new LOST! For once I want to go read spoilers of the next episode because I wanna know JUST that bad.

Fire away! Theories and debunkings of my own are welcome!

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

(I don’t think I got a previously this time. Weird.)
- What about the people who aren’t the O6 who are on the plane? We have a co-pilot and a stewardess and Sayid’s keeper and the guy Hurley just told to fasten his seat belt.
* This looks like a white flash, not purplesky. Hm.
* They’re back? They’re toast!
* A runway? What IS that if not a runway?
* Who puts a runway on the Island?
* Oh noes. This looks bad.
* Cesar and some woman and Frank and Sun? Why didn’t she vanish?
* Ben? Oh here we go. “How would I know?”
* Thirty years huh?
* I’m glad Hurley is happy to see Sawyer. Kong? (:
* They shake hands? After all that they shake hands?
* Good to see you? Huh. I wonder how well this will go down back at the homestead.
* But John isn’t dead. He’s eating mangos or whatever with Cesar and that woman we just saw on the plane. I guess they don’t know that.
* How are they IN the Dharma Initiative?
* OHHHHHHHHH ok. It’s 1977. So the flight was in 2007.
* Wait, is it? They landed in 74 so it’s 77 now? I think I missed some time someplace.
* Miles calling Jin. Hee!
* Dude your english is awesome. HA!
* Dharmaville? I’m glad to see bits of Sawyer.
* Sun too? There goes Jin’s rationality.
* Is he gonna tell them about Juliet? We don’t know. What did he say, I wonder?
* Does Juliet know what this means for her? Does it mean anything?
* How does the sub help? Are they going to just appear on it or something?
* Who’s THAT guy? I thought for a second that was Daniel.
* I have to say Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) does a great job of having varying levels of English knowledge at different times. It would be really hard for me to work out how good my English is supposed to be!
* Sun is on the island. There is a plane. She’s now? No no no no, I need to see them back together! I need to see them reunited!!
* Poor Sun. I have to say she is probably unhappy that she’s doing all of this again. At least she wore jeans so she’ll be comfy this time around. (:
* Ben, where are you going?
* Why are you following me? TAKE A GUESS JACKASS!
* I keep forgetting we saw that there are two islands. Sawyer and the bunny and all that.
* We’re gonna name him Ethan? Oh noes. What is his ACTUAL last name, I wonder?
* “What are we supposed to do now?” You’re supposed to figure out that your bra straps don’t match a t-back tank top dumdum! I know your shoes ain’t cheap but you can’t afford a t-back bra?
* Sawyer knows about batches of recruits? Hmm.
* I vote for not camping. Hee!
* MUPPET SHOW! YAY!!!! (I’m a big Muppets dork so that’s awesome)
* Hostile inside the perimeter?
* Ohhhh, THAT was the Flame station. Got it.
* Sayid is the hostile?
* He is! I missed you Sayid!!
* Come on Jin, you could wink at him or something so he knows, couldn’t you?
* How will they explain Sayid?
* I love Hugo.
* Farraday’s not here anymore? Oh noes!
* Welcome new recruits! Hmmmmm
* Nice cover Sawyer. Act doped up, watch the video…
* Crap. What happens to Sayid?
* OMG Benry told the truth! He doesn’t know where Jin is.
* No Sun, you don’t have to trust him, you just have to go with him.
* Why does Benry know there are boats there?
* Are they who shot at the Losties the first time around in the rain?
* I lied. Ooooh, I figured someone would go toe to toe with Benry evil-wise but Sun was SO not on that list. This is FUN!
* OMG! Dr Mr Changdle-wick-wax in another video!
* So Jack is interviewed by the guy in all the weird videos they watched forever?
* Workman? JANITORIAL work? LOL!
* Janitor Jack. Nice
* What name is on there?
* Hi Kate. Welcome to the island. I want to hit you with a bat. (:
* Model of the Swan? Then when did The Purge happen?
* I’m glad Sayid is just as quick as Sawyer. If that had been Hurley he’d be screwed!
* There’s an unlikely pair of investigators.
* Smokey? Polar bear? Do we know anything about when they are yet?
* Dharmaville is in pretty sad shape. A light in a window… Is it JacobChristian?
* Oh look it is JacobChristian!
* Does JC know Sun?
* Can JC really lead her there?
* A photo. Nice job JC.
* Can Sun get to 77 with the rest of them? Does Frank need to go too?
* I feel bad for Sayid, he has no context for anything right now.
* He hates being James?
* That guy’s trouble, I can tell.
* OMG! Jack had no idea did he?
* “I’m sure you two have a lot to talk about.” They do now!
* But is Sayid actually safe?
* Did Kate see Juliet answer the door? Why doesn’t she talk to him? Why doesn’t he talk to her?
* OMG It’s Benry! I know it is.
* I wonder if this piece of Benry’s timeline affects how he acts later on.
—–
Is Lostie vs Lostie how we get the purge? I’m kinda worried if Sayid teams up with Manscara.
I got nothing else right now.

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* Still surprised to see Sawyer care about something that isn’t him. And it’s nice.
* Way before the well was built?
* OMG! FULL ON STATUE! How many fingers does it have?
* Is this the same “fix” of the wheel as when Locke had his whole Jacob Christian conversation?
* They all feel better? WTF?
* Are they in their right time or where the Island needs them to be?
* Three years later? And it’s reel to reel tape and feathered hair?
* Who is that and what are they doing?
* Horace? He was the illusion from before right? Who talked to Locke?
* La Fleur, huh? It’s Sawyer or Locke.
* I know that “WHAT!?” It’s SO Sawyer.
* How long a con is this long con?
* Heh. Miles in his little jumpsuit.
* Enid? Enos?
* Horace doesn’t drink but he’s out there loaded and dynamiting trees?
* Horace is our fearless leader?
* Amy?
* Lookin a little book club up in here…
* By the Flame?
* Jim? He’s Jim Le Fleur?
* Coconut Telegram? I’m glad he’s still Sawyer in there a little bit.
* …and back. urgh.
* Does he mean Charlotte disappeared or that she’s “traveling” like before?
* Oh she actually vanished. ok.
* Of course it’s over? Why of course?
* Now she’s calling him Sawyer again?
* The only two plans you people have. heh.
* Shooting?
* Oh great who’s that?
* Rousseau maybe?
* Daniel sure is useful now.
* That poor woman, I’m very worried for her.
* She looks familiar. I’m not sure why.
* Smart, Jin! Found the walkie.
* Truce? What truce? The other Others…Hostiles, right? Richard and them?
* Daniel! STOP! Why?
* Jeez! She was really going to let them just walk into it?
* You first. Good boy!
* She has earplugs or something. That wench!
* Forward.
* Oh that’s why she looks familiar.
* Where is she? Where is who?
* I love that we still see the van.
* Why, after screwing them like that to start, is Sawyer so interested in helping her?
* Hey jackass, do NOT argue with a woman in labor!
* Horace still sleeping it off?
* I like Jin with the wavy hair.
* Grid 133? I guess they’ve been at it for awhile.
* Look at her. I’m thinking no.
* It worked!? OMG it worked! So what went wrong? And when?
* How much before Ben are we? Are they gonna meet baby Ben?
* Is his name really James La Fleur? I wonder. I don’t remember if we ever learned his real name.
* Nice, pulling Black Rock into it.
* I know they stay so now I’m very curious how they manage it.
* Wrong song? Hrm.
* OMG Daniel just saw Charlotte.
* So if we presume Miles and Charlotte are near the same age then is Miles here somewhere too? And by extensions Doctor Mister Candle/wick/wax?
* Here comes a Hostile?
* And I’ll bet ten bucks it’s guyliner.
* Manscara and the Longhair….wasn’t that a 70′s show?
* Banzai? Heh.
* !!!! “Your buddy out there with the eyeliner.” I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed.
* So Sawyer just lays it out there. I’m feeling like this can’t end well.
* What are you? OMG Is he about to be an Other?
* Oh SERIOUSLY this is about to be awesome.
* He needs Paul, right? Yup.
* And THIS is how he gets to stay.
* Jeez, the music on this show.
* Is Juliet going to go?
* She does have a point, Locke said he LEFT.
* The Mad Scientist and I Speak To Dead People.
* They are fun to watch together.
* “Just gimme two weeks.” Here’s the right thing to say to that: “Two weeks? Do you have any idea how long that will ACTUALLY be?”
* Oh look, three years later I bet she’s still there.
* Dharma Merlot is still funny.
* They seem famililar. Oh it’s like that.
* Here we are with Horace?
* I wonder what his answer will be.
* A pair of socks?
* It was Paul’s? So? She can’t hold on to something?
* And with the music again….
* I’m going to presume he means Kate. I can see if he doesn’t wanna remember her, but what DOES he remember after all the purplesky?
* I gotta go? Oh don’t play her like that, it ain’t right.
* Who’s him I wonder?
* OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
* They landed in 1974 too?
* But that’s only two of the six?
* What’s Sawyer gonna say to them?
* Ohhhhhhh no. He just finished saying….
—–
THEORIES:
- I thought this at first, who’s to say the “where” they ended up in is their now at all? It coulda been Four Toed Statue Period for all we knew!
- I wonder what will happen to the “looking for our crew” story. Are they gonna say they found em and here they are now?
- Are they going to get to stay?
- Which is worse: Stay on the island or leave and go live in 1974? I vote stay. 1974 was a REALLY unattractive era. Not to mention how you could goof up your own timelines.
- I miss Penny and Desmond. How does all of this come down for them?
- Do our Losties somehow become part of the Hostiles Insurrection that eventually eliminates Dharma?
- I’m SO curious how Ben fits into this new piece of story.
- Also: What about Frank and our as yet unseen Losties? Do they all end up here?
- Will any of them get to go home?
- Now I think I believe Charlotte about the crazy creepy old guy being Daniel.
- Speaking of Daniel, is this why he’s in the hole when they try to get to where the wheel is? That means they ARE there with baby Miles.

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

PREVIOUSLY ON LOST:
- Behold! Ageless Richard and his Amazing Timeproof Guyliner.

* Roxanne?
* Hey look a plane. Looking a bit crashy around the edges, no less.
* Who’s in the suit? Jack?
* Oh there’s a shock, it’s Emperor Locke-patine!
* But still how is there some relatively civilized place right there on the island?
* When did Locke land that
* The pilot and some woman? Who’s the pilot? Lapidas? Who is the woman?
* What’s with Ana-Lucia grilling Locke?
* I remember dying. Oh THAT will go over well.
* Where/when the crap are they that a dude in a suit is some super freaky occurrence?
* Is that where/when Benry was when he broke the wheel?
* OMG I got straight info from the show! It’s Tunisia! Is he in Tatouine? (It’s a real place!)
* A truck full of dudes hauls him off? Weird.
* What was in that pitcher? It didn’t look watery.
* Y HALO THAR ABADDON!
* I’m afraid of where this goes…
* ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew. That’s a grotacious noise. ew ew ew ew ew ew.
* Is that…?
* Again? How is this again?
* OH!
* Random: He sounds more Australian.
* Random: Was it Chucky not Benry kneeling in front of Locke in the sneak peek?
* Ben made Chucky leave? Weird.
* How do you get exiled?
* So now we know a bit about when we are NOW. They’ve been back three years.
* Why does Chucky care that they lied?
* A war coming? Between who and who? For what?
* It looks really sunny where they are. I’m hating him a smidge right now. BRR!
* I like that he keeps with the “theme”.
* New name, new money, here’s where everybody is…hmm.
* Still why does it matter?
* How come Sayid is all Habitat For Humanity now?
* Chucky seems to know SO much about the Island for a guy who appears not to have been there for a long time.
* How does he know the Island needs Locke?
* Abaddon freaks me out a little.
* Does time travel have something to do with how the Wishing Box on the Island works?
* What’s in Santo Domingo?
* Did he fly Ajira Air to get to Santo Domingo? (:
* Is this an alternate reality? Or before he came back and hooked up with Hurley?
* Because it bugged me I paused and looked up Nadia (Mrs Sayid). She was murdered apparently by someone working for Chucky which is why he went to “work” for Ben.
* “Why do you really need to go back? Is it just because you have nowhere else to go?” Interesting theory Sayid.
* I like that Sayid is trying to do good in the world.
* Now it’s New York. Hi Town Car!
* Helen Norwood?
* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!
* Sweet and Sour Jebus. Are you frakking kidding me!?
* Walt says “What happened?” WALT!?
* Wow, that was actually some tact John. Good.
* I am liking this moment. Nice. I still can’t get over Walt!
* OMG BENRY! Will he be after Walt now?
* I wonder about the dreams he had too.
* Lately I haven’t thought much about the LOSTies we’ve missed over time. Claire, Boone, Michael, Walt, and I don’t know who else.
* Santa Rosa. Hurley’s painting Egypt?
* “I see you didn’t make it.” heh.
* I love that Hurley has no idea this is real. AWEsome.
* Wait. What?
* That dude is FAR from ok!
* Thank you Hurley! I’m glad you tried to clue him in!
* I help people get to where they need to get to. Good explanation.
* Locke went to Kate? And said NO?
* Is Sun somehow maninpulating this behind the scenes too?
* Good point about Helen and moving. Thanks John!
* “Mister Widmore told me Richard Alpert said that you were going to pass out at 31 Flavors last night.”
* !!!!
* That was…sudden.
* Is he really dead? Can you take him to the Island and clear it all up?
* That looks like a serious accident…..but John’s ok I’m sure.
* #OFFTOPIC: Those Carl’s Jr burrito ads only make me think of the crabby dance commercial.
* How’d Locke end up with Jack as his doctor?
* “We’re supposed to go back!”
* Did Jack ever meet Abaddon?
* Who would stop Locke?
* Your father says hello?
* He wasn’t Sawyer’s father?
* On the one hand I feel bad for Locke because this has to suck for him.
* On the other hand I feel bad for Jack too.
* Nice touch, writing the note. Helps fill in what we already know.
* WOW. I guess I never figured Locke would have to try THIS hard to kill himself.
* I’m sad to see him go even if it’s temporary.
* OMG Benry.
* Wait. Benry said “I’m watching all of them.” NOT “I’m watching all of YOU.” Why?
* Benry killed Abaddon?
* Now I have to wonder. Benry wants Locke to lead, Chucky wants Locke to lead, do they realize they are violently agreeing?
* OMG IT WAS BENRY I WAS RIGHT!
* I wonder how much it would upset Benry and Chucky to know they agree. Is it because he’s supposed to lead different groups?
* What is it he’s supposed to lead? Others? Richard? WHAT?
* I wonder who else booked a ticket. And why Jack went to SYDNEY.
* Why did Benry do it? I really have to wonder.
* Is he THAT against Locke leading? Is he that against Jack getting back because that might help Widmore? I’m still having a hard time understanding this.
* PuhLEAZE! CSI is more than 3 years old. He HAS to know it’s gonna look staged.
* Oh so THAT is who Carlos and Notta-Lucia are. Hmm.
* But if that’s the case then they aren’t in the same time as Locke? How are they going to sync up?
* Isn’t getting everyone on the same timeline a really good idea?
* I wonder how Benry got beat up. Still.
—–
* Next week looks interesting.
* Getting the timelines to “line” up is kind of neat.

I am about to fall asleep and in fact have a couple of times already so I’m going to leave it here for now, the rough draft of my thoughts in the meantime until I can post something more coherent.

So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

* Hey, it’s old style LOST! Someone’s eye!
* He looks a lot younger somehow. Just becuase he shaved?
* Who’s in the water?
* So he just jumps in? Is that Charlie’s Guitar?
* Where’s Hurleytime Jack?
* Is this like when they first get there? I don’t remember them being here before.
* Ohhhhh, ok. She’s Jacktime Kate.
* 46 hours? It took 46 hours to go from EllieChurch to Island?
* I still don’t know about this “short notice” stuff. He seems to be a man who plans and plans. How is it short?
* Why does a church have a HIGH VOLTAGE Door?
* Why isn’t she surprised to see any of those people, but surprised that’s all that Benry could get?
* Lighthouse station? It’s a DHARMA Station logo anyway. Hm.
* Oh, it’s the Lamp Post. I was close!
* I see she’s dealt with Benry before. “Probably not.”
* A pocket of energy? hmmm.
* So what particular characteristic do the other places share? Does this spot phase in and out of time?
* Was “This Man” Hanso or Doctor Professor Chang-dle-wax or Daniel?
* If theirs closes in 36 hours how is this 44 hours before they got there?
* Yes Desi, why are you here?
* I wonder if Desi gets roped in too.
* When is one of them gonna get clocked with the pendulum?
* I think that’s the strongest emotion we’ve seen Desmond have in a long time.
* Ajira Airways? Familiar.
* Why 316? Not 416? That’s at least two of the Numbers.
* What hold does this Island have on any of them? Is it because they happened to crash there? Or is there some other reason?
* What does Jack get that nobody else does?
* Is that how you spell Jack’s last name? I’ve sort of wondered.
* Locke hung himself? Did we know that?
* Is Locke going to get Jacob Christian’s place on the plane?
* OMG I’m right!
* How does Benry know what to do in a church pew?
* Does the picture of Thomas mean something particular?
* Jack = Thomas?
* That’s not how I remember that story. Jesus offered and Thomas said no.
* A loose end? Eek! I have a hunch Benry’s loose ends should RUN FOR THEIR LIVES!
* That bar looks a little like The Encounter or Experience or whatever it is, the big round one at LAX.
* Ray? Do I remember Ray? He seems familiar…
* Oh he’s granddad. Got it.
* The pretty one with all the freckles? HER NAME WAS FRECKLES!
* Oh look, daddyshoes. How conVENient.
* OK, I’mma go out on a limb here and say that if you know you are headed back to that island aren’t you gonna take your iPod or some comfy shoes or SOMEthing else?
* Yes, let’s just sashay on in to a dark room unarmed and hope for the best shall we?
* Oh good it’s just Kate. He can totally take her. (:
* What about Aaron? Technically he was on the plane.
* Oh my GORD. What happened to Aaron?
* Hasn’t Jack had enough crazy from her yet? That pendulum in the Elliechurch basement has smaller swings than Kate!
* Mmmm. Coffee.
* Why does Kate look freaked out that Jack was nice?
* Did she have a rubber band or something? That was serious hair-fu right there.
* He wasn’t worth a nice pair of shoes? That’s so very sad.
* Oh good a ringing phone.
* What the hell????????????
* Why is he covered in blood?
* What did he do?
* Wherever you are? That says Jack thinks he stands a chance.
* I wish he’d read the note. I’m very interested in what it says even if Jack isn’t. (:
* Ajira Air? I wonder if you unscramble it into something or if Ajira is a word for something else. #lookup
* So who is that guy? I’m sure I know. Or should. He’s related to Ana Lucia?
* Oh look, a LOSTie in cuffs getting on the plane.
* Yeah how DID Hurley know?
* So we have Sayid, Hurley, Jack, Kate, Sun…Isn’t Aaron #6?
* So WTF DID happen to Aaron?
* “Who cares?” THAT is why Ben scares me.
* Will we find out what happened to him?
* Sayid that’s a mighty low cut top you’re wearing.
* That doesn’t make us together? Does she mean the O6 or does she mean her and Jack?
* Lapidas? WTF? DUDE! Lapidas looks really good!
* “We’re not going to Guam are we?” ROFL!
* OFFTOPIC: I can NOT wait to see Nathan Fillion cheese it up in Castle. I hope it’s good.
* TO THIS DAY Benry in those little reading glasses cracks me up.
* “How can you read!?” “My mother taught me.” heh.
* Ulysses, huh? James Joyce? #lookup
* Stay after school with Miz Hawking? hee hee!
* I don’t understand WHY Jack would even bother talking to Benry. It never ends well.
* How does Benry know it wasn’t Jack’s fault? He sounds so sure.
* FINALLY the note.
* I wish you had believed me. That sounds so sad. I wonder if Locke talked to Jack Before.
* Nice move with the eye mask Hurley!
* I wonder what’s in that case still.
* Now I really do wonder if that’s Charlie’s Guitar.
* I also wonder if this means the Island took all the people on the plane or just the ones it wanted/needed.
* Um. Is it the Dharma bus?
* OMG IT IS!
* And it’s Sayid?
* It’s JIN!!!!1!!!1!!!!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!ONE!!!!!!!ELEVEN!!!!!!
—-
Here’s where my crackpot theories and random observations go:

* When they played last week’s popup episode it said that when Benry claimed he was doing all this “keeping safe” it was because he was having Sayid go after Widmore’s people. I guess I could see that. I wondered WTF he meant and now question answered!
* Ajira: Webster’s online dictionary says it means “island”.
* Ulysses by James Joyce: It’s a Gutenberg book!
* So how did Jin end up wearing a nice clean Dharma Jumpsuit?
* Why was the Dharma Bus in REALLY good shape? It didn’t look cleaned up it looked new.
* Did Jin end up jumping because the rest of them had a jump?
* What does Jin time look like right now? Where are we in his timeline?
* Is this time like, part of the Dharma era? Somehow Jin and Daniel are (Dharmas? Dharmi? Dharmani?) now?
* Since Jin is jumping and so far is the only one we’ve seen, if the rest made it ok does that mean Jin swaps for Aaron in the O6 perhaps? TECHNICALLY he left, and sort of came back, right?
* I think the promo showed Benry kneeling in front of Locke. I bet he was SO not surprised Locke hung himself.
* Next week appears to be 99 Ways To Die If You Are John Locke. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
* You know, I thought we were only getting another 32 episodes, 16 in Season 5 and 16 more in Season 6 and that’s ALL. Is it just because I have a lot MORE questions I don’t feel like I’m getting any answers?

So here goes! I scribbled these as I watched them so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

Previously on LOST: (Things and stuff, stuff and things.)
* If it’s supposed to be now, why aren’t ANY of them using iPhones? Not ONE? These are phones from before they left!
* Ji Yeon is an adorable little girl.
* Found a friend huh? Is Sun keeping him forever and ever?
* Go Sun!
* How is he going to prove this to her? And how does he know?
* Jin? Sweetie? Has anyone taught you the english word for Chapstick yet?
* How is that guy getting The Numbers on that radio?
* 1988? She looks SO young!
* Next a submarine? If only he knew!
* Poor Jin. He needs someone to talk things over with and the only ones who can talk to him are using a language he’s not good at.
* I wonder who is responsible for the broadcast of the numbers they are hearing? Is it a Dharma broadcast?
* Did Danielle ever talk with Jin on the island? What was that like?
* Did Danielle skip about in time as well? That would explain why 16 years passed but she aged about 25.
* Is this how they get killed? Is Jin blamed? Is that why his “camp” (when they first got there) set her off?
* Y HALO THAR SMOKEY! Or is it a polar bear this time? (:
* This is weird. And the closest we’ve OH MY GOD
* And yeah this is how they all get it I’m pretty sure.
* Hey look Danielle with a gun. There’s a shock.
* …purplesky!
* Goodbye Jin! (wasn’t that a Dixie Chicks song?)
* So we don’t get to know what happened to them? NOT FAIR.
* Poor Jin he’s at this alone. He got water though, that’s good!
* It’s the Tail-ies camp? I’m not certain it’s his.
* Violin, music box, crate of explosives, suitcases, dead bodies…
* Whaaaaaaaat? Why his Notbert telling her Smokey is a security system for the temple? Is that true? Or even possible?
* This can’t be much later, she’s still knocked up.
* …purplesky!
* I wonder if there is a third group that is in sync themselves.
* It’s nice to see Sawyer actually happy for a moment. He looked truly pleased to see Jin.
* “Where’d that guy come from?” Didn’t the Freighties ever see Jin?
* Out with it Red!
* Uh huh. AND he called her Red. Heh.
* Oh I think she damn sure wants it to go off.
* So Kate bailed with Aaron, Sayid walked off unhappy with Benry AND Jack, and Sun and Benry are on some adventure now? Hm.
* She speaks Klingon? TOO? Dude.
* So now they are all taking it pretty hard. Oh noes.
* And there’s the first Sawyer nosebleed.
* What is she telling him???
* This place is death? But we don’t know that. What if her coming back fixes it?
* I still wonder why two in a row like that. Is it just gonna get weirder from here?
* “Sun I’m sorry.” For being a tool. For not having a clue. For letting this yo-yo string me along.
* OK so WTF did you do? Tell us! Give me ONE example of how you did something to make life better for them or their friends or whatever.
* Geronimo Jackson? Not Mama Cass? Hm. (:
* If there’s no Orchid just wait a flash or two and voila!
* I wonder why she knows they’ll “find it at the well”. Because she remembered that from being very small and living on the island?
* Hi Orchid Station. Bye Orchid Station.
* Orchid Station is next to the temple? No it’s next to the well. Like she said. Is the well where the donkey wheel is?
* She’s been here before? I’m shocked.
* GREW UP HERE?
* How did she get off the island with only her mum?
* A scary man? Chucky Widmore?
* That thing to tell him is she had a brother. We know Damon and Carlton love Star Wars.
* She thinks the man was him? Was she there when Doctor Mister Chang-dle-wax was there? That’s when Daniel was there. And why was he there at that time anyway?
* Sending Locke into a giant mysterious hole in the ground. I feel like we’ve been here before. (:
* How can he promise that? Because he’s lying?
* I am sorry for Jin right now. He also got really interesting in a hurry.
* Where would be the fun in that!? I like Locke a little better this season.
* Oh noes!! What if there’s no well where they end up?
* Wait, the light comes from the well?
* And down he goes. OW!
* Hey look, no well when they are now. Joy.
* Hi Charlotte, can you tell me more about the scary man who is Daniel now?
* Is she dead or is she just “gone”?
* Is that what happened to Locke? He’s in the coffin but not dead just “gone”?
* OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW
* I did NOT need to see that. Just like I didn’t need to see Sawyer’s foot thorn thing.
* It’s Richard!
* Nope. WTF?
* I’m here to help you the rest of the way?
* So he’s still in the hole just that the well is closed up? That’s good.
* Good point Jacob Christian! Listening to Benry never did nobody any good.
* I wonder if Jacob Christian ever had dealings with Widmore.
* I wonder if my snarky “Jacob Christian” has something to it since the initials are JC. Those initials seem familiar…
* Now that he’s ready can’t you help him out a little? Last I checked you were a frakking DOCTOR.
* Donkey Wheel, anyone?
* What does it control exactly?
* If it threw Benry 10 months ahead where will it take Locke?
* Locke doesn’t know who’s his son? Oh I guess not…
* Note: name on van unscrambles to “reincarnation”
* Ben you miserable jerk. “I went to see him.”
* What about Kate? Right now Ben’s odds of reuniting the O6 when he only has 2 are not so hot.
* So we were right, Eloise Hawking=Daniel’s mum.
* It’ll have to do? Will it do at all? Why did she need all 6?
* She seems really calm for being all “You have 70 hours TICK TOCK!”
—–
* So who IS Charlotte’s mum? Is it Eloise? Is it the butcher Benry talked to about Locke’s body? Is it someone we don’t even know yet? Is it Claire’s mum?
* How does Locke end up in the coffin?
* Will anyone else end up being part of wtf is going on in the church?
* Why is it a church?
* Does Ellie have anything to do with any of the other nonsense we’ve seen off the island?
* Whether they share a child or not, what’s Ellie’s relationship to C-dub? (Which I think is a much more hip and now name than “Charles Widmore” ever was!)
* Does Richard have any other relationship with C-dub besides the bit we saw on the island?
* What else does Charlotte know about Dharma? Will we ever find out?
* Will we see Charlotte’s dad? Is it C-dub? Is it Jacob Christian?
* How does JC fit into the bigger picture here? Was he roped into something? Was he somehow on the island long ago too? They’ve imported other doctors (Juliet) so it’s not unheard of.
* Does Jack have some extra peculiar relationship with the island because his dad “runs” it? Has JC ever encountered C-dub?
* Does anyone else’s timeline run so randomly and weirdly? Are we going to find out what order Richard’s is in compared to everyone else’s?
* Is Benry convinced that Locke isn’t dead because of the order of his own timeline or because he knows Locke will rise in 3 days or that the Island is far enough out of sync that taking him there will wake him up?
* Does skipping through time have anything to do with why Locke can walk and Rose has no cancer on the Island? Or is it just mega radiation from Jughead?
* Still confused about the rules of the skipping: What skips and how, etc.
* We never saw any more Daniel and Charlotte so we don’t know for sure if she’s ok or not.
—–
OK that’s it for now. So far I’m way impressed and more curious than before. Like in the old days, answering my question is awesome until it makes me ask 5 more. AHH!

So here goes! I scribbled these as I watched them so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

Previously on Lost:
* Claire’s mum at the funeral.
* We came for the kid.
* We’re going on a trip!
* Coldhearted Sun
* Sayid in hospital.
* Wait. I thought in the episode we saw Richard tell Locke he had to die and THEN the purple sky. Am I remembering wrong?
* Charlotte’s first nosebleed and then her header to the jungle floor.
–
* Ah, the boat.
* Odd shot of the baby there…
* Sawyer’s not dead? How do they know?
* Ohhh, so it’s like THAT. He orchestrated this? Is this how she makes the deal? Yes if I can keep Aaron?
* Three years later? So is that now?
* Sun has Aaron? She’s TOTALLY handing him over the second Kate’s out isn’t she?
* Y HALO THAR BENRY!
(Pausing and freeze framing)
* Wednesday morning? Three trips to the mailbox? Answered the telephone and replied that Lee Chin was dead a victim of Suicide. Who is Lee Chin?
* Wednesday afternoon Seven trips to the mailbox? Ohh, when they don’t see “subject” for 1/2 hr they call.
* “Claimed I was Melissa F###ing with her.” hahaha. Is this Kate?
* “Set up a camping chair, and proceeded to pace the front yard until the mail truck arrived?” WTF is in the mail?
* um. Chocolates? Oh! They are 9 millimeter chocolates! I see.
* I like that Juliet calls him James. I don’t know why.
* Why did he think it might happen?
* I sort of want Daniel to be Charlotte’s constant. I really like the love stories on this show (not the BS Jack Sawyer Kate “love stories” but Bernard/Rose and Desmond/Penny stories).
* WHO IS THAT LAWYER??? (I looked him up, he was the dad on My So-Called Life.)
* Exchange of custody? Oh hello! Claire? Christian? Jack? At least Jack’s actually related but on this show it could be Richard for all we know.
* The Orchid? How is that where it all started?
* “Says who?” “That doesn’t matter.” Hrm. Why doesn’t Sawyer care more that Locke gets to leave?
* Was that an emotion I saw there Sawyer? Oh I think so!
* Who are you? Oh that’s not good.
* We’re off to see the Orchid, the wonderful Orchid of Ben’s…
* Thank you Sayid for having some sense!
* Suspended? Do I know when this is now? Just a smidge after the whole GET MY DAD HE’LL TELL YOU thing?
* If there is such a thing as an Iraqi Ninja I think I am watching him in action right now.
* Oh good it’s not a gun gun so he didn’t have to kill anybody. That makes me feel a little better.
* 42 Panorama Crest? Kate? Then it’s not the “subject” of the surveillance from Sun’s report.
* These people all got stupid money from Oceanic Air and not ONE has an iPhone? For Pete’s sake, Jack’s a DOCTOR and still using a frakking RAZR?
* I love Sayid. “I’ll drive.”
* Slip 23. There’s a shocker.
* If they’re in LA proper, getting to Long Beach is like SO far. Isn’t it?
* It’s the light hatch! From the end of S1 or S2, right before the Season opener with Desmond and Mama Cass.
* Oh look, that’s two down.
* Who’s screaming? Rousseau? Claire? Are we gonna find out who hassled Claire in the night that time?
* This is when Aaron was born! Look at Sawyer!
* …and purple.
* When is this gonna scramble everybody else too?
* How much of me feeling sad for Sawyer is because the score is making me feel sad for him?
* What is Kate watching for? The Client?
* Oh, the lawyer is leaving. Hrmmmm….what about Jack’s Jeep? Isn’t he in like, parked in a loading zone?
* Oh yeah, it was the night Boone died. I’m glad to watch a show that knows a little history.
* Wow, Locke did get all philosophical didn’t he?
* Is Miles’ nose bleeding because he is the CandleWickWax spawn?
* Are they in the “now” that we just saw in LA which is why it’s all old and beat down like people left awhile ago?
* NOTE: On this show it seems like the girls do a fair amount of work too and that’s good.
* More arrows? Calm down you guys, these arrows aren’t on fire! (:
* “These your people?” “No, are they yours?” That might be truer than she knows.
* …and purple. With a mighty THANK YOU LORD!
* How are they already wet?
* I TAKE THAT BACK! There’s my Sawyer!
* A meeting in a cheap hotel? How does Claire’s mom know? What makes her so convinced Aaron is hers? It isn’t like Claire had a name picked out.
* Does Kate know that Jack’s related to Claire?
* Does Jack know that Kate’s related to Claire?
* Does Claire’s mom know that Jack’s related to Claire?
* Shut your mouth Jack SHUT IT! DON’T BLURT! Ask her why!!!!!
* OK, WTF did Jack find out?
* Is it Sun? I think it’s Sun.
* I wondered why Sayid helped him too. I thought it was a hair thing. (:
* I like that it is just because Sayid thinks it is the right thing to do. That’s good.
* Van: Canton-Rainier Carpet Cleaning What’s it unscramble into?
* Does it say something different on the door?
* Benry is the client!? OMGWTFBBQ
* Oh wait no it isn’t. He IS Benry’s lawyer though. Does he know the butcher?
* Look at those cute little glasses.
* I see a nice moment here. I don’t want this to be the new hookup or whatever but I do like that he has a human relationship with someone.
* Is this their wreckage? Did they jump back to the crash?
* Crate: BesixDOUZE
* From Wikipedia:

46610 Besixdouze (1993 TQ1) is an asteroid belonging to the asteroid belt. It was discovered by Kin Endate and Kazuo Watanabe on October 15, 1993.
The name of the asteroid is a reference to The Little Prince, who lived on an asteroid named B612. The name Bésixdouze is the concatenation of B, six and douze, French for “B six twelve”. Also, 46610 is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal number B612.

* Could it be…ROUSSEAU! Look they are angry and French oh goody.
* Who’s on the board? What is the crash? Do they know that person? Is that person part of their wreck?
* JIN!!!!!!! (Seriously I just choked on some goldfish crackers just there.) How did he end up there? What wreck is this? When are they? Has 815 hit yet? Are they before?
* Hello, and welcome to Long Beach.
* Yeah he’s trying to take Aaron this way he could scare her into going back.
* Sorry? That’s the best he can frakking do?
* I’m glad someone looked her in the eye and said so though.
* Sun? Whatcha doin?
* At least if it’s Freighter Jin he can speak English.
* He got here by boat? He shoulda said plane. (:
* I wonder if it’s bad to HAVE the kid on the island if you spent the time someplace else. Alex seemed ok till the end, after all. If she was still around would her nose be bleeding?
* IT IS ROUSSEAU! I called it way back up there!
–
Nothing terribly interesting in the promo this week.

So here goes! I scribbled these as I watched them so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.

Previously on Lost:
(BTW: Can’t they get that guy to be Mister Narrator Man on the podcast and such? I like this voice WAY better than that one.)
* Benry and the Wheel, island vanishes.
* Juliet and Daniel talk, Daniel tells Desmond to go find his mum.
* Des wakes up off the island for 3 years, says it was a memory.
—
* Goats? Kids? Markets? WTF?
* Desmond? What are you shouting? A name?
* Penny? OMG!!!
* Oh this is so many questions right here. Who? How?
* He has a ring on are they finally married in this when?
* What an adorable kid in the now.
* How is Desmond the only one who can help? He’s not one of the 6. Is this something to do with Daniel’s mum?
* What island are they headed to now?
* Who’s THAT guy? And that one?
* What’s wrong with Charlotte? I’m very curious to know. Is it because she’s born on the island?
* Are Daniel’s feelings in the way of helping Charlotte?
* Did Miles see that eause he heard the dead people and they weren’t dead yet?
* Um. Oh crap. Why do they have arrows but not guns?
* Oh there’s one. Who’s she? Why does she know him?
* I wonder if he remembered it when it happened in DANIEL’S timeline because he couldn’t remember it until it happened to both of them.
* Why do I have a really bad feeling about him leaving that room?
I notice though he didn’t promise her any such thing.
* I guess it doesn’t really matter who those two were, huh?
* Wait, what? Whose landmines were they?
* There were 20 at the beach?
* She’s out of control of what happens? Because of Jacob maybe?
* Are we going to learn more about the Russian soldier guy?
* They are Others!? How’s THAT work?
* What Miles? WHAT?
* Is it me or is Miles going gray REALLY quickly?
* Is this the Kloo camp? Wait maybe not. Richard?
* Bomb? What bomb?
* Y HALO THAR OXFORD!
* No Faraday? I’m shocked. Really.
* Why didn’t he ask who’s in the offices over the Physics labs now? Wouldn’t that be useful?
* Fumigation? Shenanigans. Clerical error indeed. I’d bet my failsafe key that error is no error at all.
* Who’s the girl in the photo?
* !!! Who’s this guy? What’s he up to? Is he with Abaddon or Dharma? And who’s on The Island he’s related to? (:
* What he did to that poor girl? Did he send her back and it went all wrong?
* Charlotte should really start being nicer to Daniel and maybe he’d level with her about what’s going on with her headache and nosebleeds.
* Who came and blew it up? Dharma? Is that the faction the soldier came with?
* That’s a tactic I haven’t seen. Love? Interesting. I like how he put together the H-Bomb info though.
* Others 101. Heh.
* Um. WTF? One of my people? How’s THAT work?
* How’d he get there? Who’s she?
* Good Lord I’m confused.
* So this must be That Poor Girl. I wonder how this happened. I though maybe she was going to beat him up or something.
* So Daniel is the key to how Charles got involved. Hmmm.
* I have to admit I’m impressed with how quickly Daniel put together his H-Bomb info and was right about it!
* Why didn’t she say she loved him back? Doesn’t she? What reason does he have to return now?
* And really, what sort of girl doesn’t already know?
* 18 members? not 15 or 16 or 23? You’re slipping guys! (:
* Every time they show Richard I get all distracted by his guyliner.
* I wonder if Richard really does know NOW how to save the Island or if it’s later on for him.
* I wonder how long Jughead’s been there.
* Can’t he just open the helpfully labeled Trigger Control Panel and defuse it?
* Oh goody, she’s freaking out and she has a gun. Why is she demanding all this information? What does she care?
* Now that she’s gotten this out of him she’s taking it remarkably well…
* Greetings ChuckyWucky! How’s tricks?
* Well that is an interesting reaction to that question.
* Is she safe? This makes him verge on human. That’s no good. And I’m not convinced that’s a legit address either. Other people flying to LA is what started all this…
* He really does love Penny. I guess that’s a good thing.
* Um. That’s a nice reaction. Unarmed man limps into camp and you point a gun at him.
* When in Richard’s timeline did Richard meet Locke?
* WIDMORE????? Oh uh UH!
* Oh thank Jebus he made it back. I’m very glad because I really did wonder. I thought maybe Mrs Hawking would appear.
* What? No she didn’t die. Oh good she knows he’s lying.
* His name is Charlie? That’s very very sweet.
* I think it’s a bad idea to take them with you LA because Charles knows that’s likely your next destination.
* This sounds like a very confusing conversation for Richard.
* I suggest you come and visit me? Hmmmmm.
* And now we’ll never know. Where are they? No wait. WHEN are they?
* I thought sure for some reason this would be the place surrounded by the fence that keeps the smoke monster out.
* Is this a jump forward or a jump back?
* Uh oh. Is this it for her?

Next week’s superfast cuts (after Sun says “Are you sure you want to do this?” “We can go home”)
- Kate kissing Jack (I think)
- Charlotte (but not blinking or anything)
- Ben looking to his left (from a car?)
- Claire? (She looks like she’s yelling or something)
- Kate looking up at someone (I think it’s Claire. I bet it’s when she gets-takes?-Aaron.)
- Someone I don’t know with long dark hair
- Someone’s arms picking up something I can’t tell what though
- I think it’s Sayid, and it’s some sort of weapon maybe? Or something about to be a weapon (:
- Oh, it’s a gun apparently. Those last two cuts were really fast! I was frame advancing on TiVo and they were super super short there too.

This was fun to watch for a few reasons, but mostly I think it’s the Widmore bits I’m most interested in this week.

* Haven’t you all learned yet? What can you get from mixing up the letters in “Jeremy Bentham”?
* Note to self: NEVER roll down the window to tell someone the time. Yikes!
* Lotsa names are borrowed here. Farraday, Abbadon, Locke, and now Bentham…even Aaron from the Bible!
* Orchid vid is VHS and the others are reel to reel.
* What number was the bunny he had? 15? And Benry had 13 when they took Sawyer on the field trip, yeah?
* WOW that shot of Hurley saying they could come back was SUPER grainy!!! Pickups maybe?
* WTF IS BENTHAM?
* What could Sawyer possibly have wanted from Kate that was something she’d do? Was Jack pissed he knew what it was or pissed she did it for HIM?
* Oh Jin, I really like you. Don’t be the end. no no no no no no no no
* He’s done his share of dastardly deeds, but I’m glad Michael sees the value in parenthood.
* Michael with the empty tank: That’s the second or third time this ep we’ve heard voices whispering about.
* Who did the what now? Is Jack’s dad some sort of reaper? I thought the island wouldn’t let him die?
* Ben is a terrifying man and that is awesome.
* While I am very sad for Sun, I am thrilled to pieces to see that apparently she brought her backbone home with her!
* Dharma rum? LOL! Is there a Captain Jack Halliwax not far behind?
* I’m feeling for Benry a little, this is breaking his heart (and his back) and he’s doing it anyway.
* Bitch PLEASE! Violet sky is SO Season Two!
* Oh noes! Desmond!
* I wonder if Hurley got locked up because he accepted the truth as the truth? Is that why he’s back in the bin?
* Ah, good story for Des and Frank. I’m so glad he found his way back to Penny.
* Benry? W. T. F????
* And at the end of THIS season, once again, who’s the “him” (Claire) she’s talking about?
* Is Michael in the coffin?
* Is it Aaron they are talking about? Charlie?
* OMG they are talking about Christian!!!!! Aren’t they?
* ALL of you have to go back!? It will never happen.
* Is there really a way for them to go back and make this right? I guess there has to be something, we have two seasons left!
* WTF? That’s who’s in the coffin? WOW.
* I need more reason than this I think.
