Recon

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIN-D!

In the immortal words of Comic Book Guy, “WORST EPISODE EVER!” I’m not kidding; I thought that episode was horrible. Here is why:
1. Sawyer is a tool, which makes me sad as I really loved him as James.
2. The Charlotte hook-up. Really? That’s just wrong on so many levels. First of all, we don’t need yet another woman in the mix (JULIET FOREVER). Second of all, shouldn’t she be off meeting and making happy Daniel?
3. VOMIT, VOMIT, VOMIT. Sawyer flirting with Kate.
4. The way Sawyer was smelling Kate’s shirt that was left in the cages. Gross.
5. Just when I was starting to hate her a little less, KATE CRIES (8:24 starts getting a little weepy, full—blown hysterics by 8:33)
6. Making all the redheads look likes skanks. What up with that?
7. Car crash with Kate.

All the same, I will try to give some insight into the (worst ever) episode.


Islandland

1. Creeper baby is back!

2. Lockeness is very candid with James – why? Or is he playing him? He’s also candid with Kate. My theory? In the words of Shakespeare in Macbeth, “Oftentimes, to win us to our harm, the instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray’s in deepest consequence.”

3. Sending James back to Hydra Island. HOLY CRAPPER! A setup to find the dead bodies? A warning to James not to f with Lockeness? Who’s the chick? Why do I recognize her? What’s she been in? Is she really the only one left? Zoey. Knew she wasn’t really on the plane. (Shout out to kid Mr. Mom and Kate&Allie)

4. Widmore’s people. This is like déjà vu, I must say. The sub at the dock. We’ve seen people getting on or off the sub at this dock at least four or five times now.

5. Flocke tells Sawyer he’s the “Best liar I ever met.” Makes James flinch.

6. Sayid all creeper. All part of the plan to take Kate down. Yeah! Awe, too bad that Flocke stopped her.

BTW -- Where are Rose and Bernard hanging these days?

7. THIS WEEK IN BIBLE STUDIES: Lockeness working the angle hard with Kate. Is he talking as Locke? Or as Smokey? If as Smokey, who was his mother? BLAME THE MOTHER.

In the bible, Esau and Jacob are the sons of Rebekah. Genesis 25:28 explains the conflict between the parents and their children: "Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob."

So is his mother really crazy?

“Now Aaron has a crazy mother too.” Will things turn out badly for him? See http://www.essortment.com/all/bibleexodusm_rram.htm for a refresher on Aaron (connection to Moses makes me think he is more Moses-y)

8. What’s all locked up on the submarine?

9. Is Claire for real now? A little of the real her shining through? Or another setup? Or is Claire just batshit crazy?

10. James playing all sides of the coin. Does he really think Widmore is stupid enough to buy it? Is he really “with” Lockeness?


Alternaworld

1. Sawyer’s a cop. Miles is his partner. Didn’t see that twist coming. Remember, Sawyer let Kate go . . . knowing she was a criminal.

2. Anthony Cooper – name Locke’s dad used when he was conning.

3. Sawyer’s still reading Watership Down . . .

4. Charlie’s brother Liam trying to get him out of jail.

5. MIRROR!!!!! Doesn’t like what he sees.

6. Little House on the Prairie. “Half Pint” “People aren’t really gone when they die. They jus tlive in our memories til we see tham again.”

7. So many bromances on this show! Although Miles seems to be at the center of them. Miles and James. Miles and Hurley. Hurley and Charlie.


Next week – Hell, yeah! Hopefully that will erase the memory of this week’s sucky-ass episode.

Namaste,
