Of the three episodes I watched: What Kate Did, Psalm 23, and Fire + Water, Psalm 23 was my hands-down favorite. This was Mr. Eko’s episode. I’ll get to it in a minute. Kate’s was good, we finally learn how she became an outlaw (blowed daddy up!) and that she has some hard-core daddy issues. Hard-core to the point that it affects how she feels about Sawyer. Oh yea and she temporarily loses her shit- sees a big horse (seriously, what’s with the random animals on the island? What’s next, a- oh, nevermind), kisses Jack, then runs away. I give her credit for at least admitting that she thinks she may be going crazy. Line of the episode:
Kate: “Do you see that?”
Sawyer: “You mean that big-ass horse in the middle of the jungle? Yeah I see it.”
Speaking of people losing their shit Michael knocks Locke out, locks him and Jack in the closet and then goes after WAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLT! Locke, Jack, and Sawyer go after him only to be surrounded by the Gordon’s Fisherman and “The Others” and pretty much told that there indeed is a much bigger swingin’ dick on the island so they should go along and mind their manners. As you can imagine, Sawyer and Jack don’t exactly cotton to this notion, but Kate being threatened with death at the hands of the Fisherman is the only thing that keeps them from doing anything truly stupid.
People Losing Their Shit, pt. 3- Charlie. Man, has this guy been through a lot. Turns out that his brother hocked the piano his mum gave him as a child for drugs, then ditches him to get clean. Charlie starts seeing visions, becomes obsessed with saving the baby, takes baby, says sorry, takes baby _again_, and then this time gets knocked the hell out by Locke. At one point he tries to pull Mr. Eko in on it since he was nice enough to interpret his “vision” but Eko lets him know that by “saving the baby” he did NOT mean going bat-shit crazy, starting a fire, and kidnapping the baby to baptize it. Which Eko eventually does, the right way.
It appears Mr. Eko has come the long way around to becoming a priest. While children gunmen come to the church where a group of boys including him and his brother come to take the children away. The young Eko basically swaps his life for his brother’s, executing the man the gunmen had demanded his brother kill. In executing the man, Eko is taken instead. Unfortunately the tragic circumstances portrayed in the episode play out in real life every day for thousands of children in Africa in places like Darfur, where they are kidnapped off of the streets, taken out of their homes, and forced into being soldiers for local warlords.
Eko grows up to be a fearful and ruthless gangster while the brother who was left behind at the church becomes a priest. Eko has the idea to use the Virgin Mary statues as cover for transporting drugs out of the country. He tries to enlist his brother’s help but of course the brother refuses. Eko eventually makes him sign papers making him and his henchmen priests so they can smuggle the drugs out of the country. His brother’s fateful words- “You will never be a priest!” There is a shootout at the airstrip while they are preparing to take off in the Beechcraft that crashes on the island and is found by Boone and Locke in an earlier episode (mystery solved!). This time, Eko is the one left behind and “saved” while his injured brother is loaded into ill-fated plane. The shooting seemingly affects Eko, and I can imagine that is the event (or one of them at least) that led him to the path that he currently travels. Obviously well versed in scripture and having lived on the other side long enough, Mr. Eko comes around full circle and becomes every much the priest his brother said he would never become.

Everybody hates....you?
In the episode "Everybody Hates Hugo" we find out that Hurley was reluctant to cash in his winning ticket because he was afraid that things would change- which they did, even before he cashed it in. His best friend seemed pretty disappointed that he wasn't told about the winnings.
We all wish we had such problems, right? So what if you *did* win a huge amount of money, over a hundred million dollars? What relationships in your life would change? Would you be o.k. with that? How would you handle it? I don't mean all of the material things you would buy or how you would dole it out to this or that worthy cause- I mean how do you think such a windfall would affect the various people you relate to (or are related to!)?
For myself I don't think I'd have too much to worry about from the majority of my friends..they're people I'd break a little off to anyway, are doing pretty well on their own, or aren't complete douchebags. There's definitely fam I'd have to get restraining orders against.
What about you? Let me know!

Season 2, here we go...
Within a matter of two days I managed to watch episodes 1-8 of Season 2. Matter of fact, the only reason I didn’t tear through all of S2 by Sunday night is because I don’t own the DVD set and I *still* can’t get the full episode player at abc.com to work (a Google search let me know that I was not the only one with this frustrating issue). Really great stuff so far, even though the first ten minutes of ep. 1 again had me asking, “What the hell is going on here??”
In the opening of S2E1 (season 2 episode 1), when the then “mystery man” is going through his routine, I had assumed it was a Locke flashback, since the place had 70’s feel to it, maybe going back before everything happened with his dad. Once the “boom” happened though, I figured it out- holy crap that’s the inside of the hatch! Mystery guy grabs his gun and it’s on. Over the course of a couple of episodes they go back and forth with the showdown between Jack and “mystery guy”, who turns out to be Desmond of “See you in another life, brotha!” fame. He eventually gets the hell out of there and leaves Jack & co. to the hatch..which is actually a pretty sweet set up! Music, food, a blender, artificial daylight, a shower, a closet chock-full of guns, and no taxes. Somewhere out there a Libertarian is creaming his pants.
Michael and Sawyer wash up on shore and Jin comes running out of the jungle tied up, mentions “the others” only have this big ass Kimbo Slice looking mug hand out some serious ass beat-downs to our boys and throw them in a pit. A little while later a woman is tossed in with them who winds up being…Ana Lucia! She then drops Sawyer like a bag of potatoes. Twice. Which isn’t surprising considering Michelle Rodriguez’s other roles- she specializes in women kicking ass (SWAT, Fast & Furious, Girlfight). I thought that left hook looked familiar. Ana-Lou then takes his gun. Damn Sawyer, punked all around. It turns out that these people are not in fact “The Others” at all but the survivors from the tail section of the plane who crashed on the other side of the island, and that the big dude is Mr. Eko. I can’t wait to see his back story- still waters indeed run deep.
We learn that Ana has some serious, SERIOUS issues. A little trigger-happy, perhaps? Control freak? Her shrink should have been fired. It will be interesting to learn how she’s dealt with after everyone learns that she shot Shannon, even if it was by accident. Will also be interesting to see what the good doctor has in store for her.
My two favorite episodes by far have to be “…And Found” and “Collision”. Why? Because they’re Jin and Sun’s episodes. Their story is great, they could do a whole show just on them and how they got together and the complications surrounding their relationship. The writers have done well, you really don’t like Jin at first but the more you learn about him and how he got to where he is, and where he started from, and how devoted he is to Sun the more you like him. Same with Sun. It was great to see them back together. Oh, and Bernard and Rose. Wow.
I have to say I’m glad everyone is back together again..I didn’t like the parallel tribe thing. So now there is the mystery of this Dharma Initiative and The Others..who apparently have infiltrated both camps. The outside world obviously knows about the island, so…what now?
And where the hell does Desmond think he’s running off to?

A few things...
O.k., have had some time for the “Exodus: Pt. 2” to settle in, since so much happened in such a short amount of time. What just happened? Everything seemed to be going pretty regular- or as regular as Lost can be, until we get to two plot lines. These are what have my head spinning.
First, the man-raft. Things seemed to actually be going well for the guys, everyone’s getting along (even though Michael is rightfully a little concerned about Sawyer having a gun). There’s even a little Bob Marley going on. That night, it seems they are actually going to be rescued by- The Gordon’s Fisherman and his band of cronies. Nowww…umm…this is where things get a little fuzzy for me, and my mind starts doing backflips. Not only did they come out of seemingly thin air- they seemed to come from a completely different show! The Salty Dogs looked as though they just stepped out of Deadliest Catch. I am pretty sure one of them even had on long sleeves. I thought I saw flannel. Isn’t this a tropical locale? Oh, and it turns out they have guns too. Yea Sawyer didn’t see *that* shit coming…
So what do they want with freaky Walt? “Arrgh guess how many fish sticks be on board!” Poor Walt. Actually poor Michael. Everyone’s overboard, Sawyer’s status is unknown, and then to top it all off the Salty Dogs blew the raft up. Damn son. That’s harsh. Will be interesting to see how this pans out. My guesses- someway, somehow they get back to the island- and they find out that these are “The Others” Madame Fou is talking about.
Second, THE HATCH. The Hatch drives me nuts. The weird numbers on the side, how they had to blow it up to get inside of it, and then in the last shot- the seemingly endless climb to the bottom. What is it and what’s in it? I know, I know I’ll find out eventually but still. I have a guess about this one as well- that it pretty much takes up the entire island. Perhaps the whole thing is there just as a cover for the hatch (and yes, how does an island that large never get discovered? Unless it’s not supposed to be..like in that lame-ass movie “The Village”..but I digress). I will end this with top five guesses as to what’s in the hatch:
5. The cable-tv setup Hurley was talking about. Hopefully it’s not through Comcast. I hear they do take gold fillings as payment.
4. A gnarly ‘ol polar bear
3. Jack’s sense of humor
2. A taped message of then-senator Obama offering Locke hope

End of Season 1!
Ep. 21: The Greater Good:
Nothing really mind-blowing here. I guess they're saving it 'till the end..Haha Kate drugs Jack to get him to sleep. I knew she was crafty. Dumb girl puts a hit out on Locke. I'm not so sure about Charli and Hurley being around a baby..not sure if that's such a good idea.
Oh shit! Locke admits he was the one that knocked Sayid over the head and destroyed his equipment. The CIA plays dirty w/ Sayid. Nah homeboy...it wasn't fate that brought you together..it was the CIA. Jackals.
Michael, Michael..never tell a child something dumb like "We're not going to die." Jeesh man
Dumb girl..er, Shannon I guess her name is..fires at Locke but he only gets grazed. The man is indestructable. Sayeed runs up on him later, tae me to the hatch, beeeeoootch!!! That's what I'm talking about.
Who woulda thunk...Sawyer's voice soothes babies. Heh.
Ep. 22: Born To Run: Back into Kate's shady past. I swear she is the most emotional um...crooks? Spies? Whack-jobs? Ever. She's either whupping ass or crying. And now she's trying to talk her way onto the raft. Michael gives her the smack-down on getting on it. I mean she *could* get on the raft, you know, but uh..well nevermind. Her and Sawyer start battling it out. And she's from IOWA. Not Canada! Her and dude dig up a box...hmm...plane in the box....dude gets buried under the tree?? She's shadier than Locke. Then her and Dr. dude start kissing. This can only end in tears.... oh o.k. she doesn't shoot/stab/choke him. Not now anyway. Oooooh and Sawyer busts her wide open on the raft tip. Damn Sawyer. You cold, dude.
The Hatch!!!!!!!!!! Sayeed and Jack see the hatch! Sayeed is not down w/ the Hatch. Hmm..never thought about it that way. Walter tells Locke not to open the Hatch..even though he doesn't know anything about it. That kid is getting creeepy. He later tells his dad that they have to get off the island. Like for reals, we need to getta outta here. Creeeeepy again!
They all seem pretty determined about the raft thing. Are they going? Really? Seriously? Out on the ocean? Crazy talk, I Say!
Ep. 23: Exodus, Pt. 1:
Russo walks into camp. Scares the bejezus out out everyone and starts talking about "the others". Da hell? Then that cloud of black smoke she was talking about. To quote Hurley..."Uhhh...dude?"
The raft? Really? They're really going to put that thing in the water? I thought it would of gotten blown up or something by now.
This episode is getting...interesting. Oh and Arnzt punks out. Punk-ass bitch. Hope a polar bear gets his ass. Even though they are being let into the "dark territory" to a "black rock" by a weird-ass French lady. O.k., turns out the Black Rock is a ship. You know, like the Black Pearl. I see Captain Jack Sparrow pop up and I'm turning the shit off.
And theeeeere goes the monster!!!! Which is apparently a "security system". I'll stick to ADP, thanks.
Aww. Dumb gi- I mean Shannon- gets Vincent.
The raft? Really? They're going? For real? Yea it's really in the water. They're gone :( What about my damn Hatch!!!
Ep. 24: Exodus, Pt. 2
Here we go- last ep. for season 1!!!
O.k., big pirate ship in the middle of the jungle. Alrighty then. Arnzt's vag is still huge. I will laugh my ever-loving ass off if he gets blowed up. 15 seconds later.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kaboom, mother-f**ker!!!!
No seriously dude blows up and you're still going to try to take the dynamite out of the box?? Are you DAFT? "So what we're going to do is...we're going to strap backpacks full of explosives to our backs...and then trek across the jungle! Great idea! Yeahh!"
Aww man. Claire got rolled for her kid. That's messed up.
I love the airport scenes- how they show everyone crossing paths. Little did they know. Just like life, huh?
Ohhhh no...no Charli... Charli comes across a plane CHOCK FULL of H...aww man.. C'mon
Charli..man up! Then he gets banged with rocks..and Sayid fixes him straight-up Iraqi commando style. Ouuuuuuch...
OHHH snap something big...very very very big in the jungle!! Oh shit it got Locke!!! What. The. FUCK. Was. That???
Locke drops science on Jack. Jack's not buying it. My haaatch!!!!
The others are coming for the boy....hrmm..... oh and all hell breaks loose on the boat. Gahh! What happened??? Who are these freaks? What do they want with Walt? WHY DO THEY HAVE A POWER BOAT???? And then they blow up the raft. Goddamn Lost!!!
They blow the hatch! They look down the hole and... Noooooooooooooooooo! What's in the damn hatch????

Technology Hates Me
I realized last night that I didn't have Disc 6, which would have the season 1 finale on it. No problem I figured, I'd just go to Hulu and watch the last couple of episodes there and change my Netflix que to send the next set of discs. So I thought. I downloaded the video player for the ABC.com site, it looked as though it was going to run, and...nothing. I run Firefox and not every site is Firefox-friendly, so I opened up IE and tried it again...it played a commercial and I figured it was mere seconds to the program, and then...nothing. Simply would not load. So, I guess I'll be waiting until Tuesday to finish Season 1 off. Bah. I need to find out what's in that hatch, damnit! Oh and how badly Jack gets his ass beat by Locke. Last I saw Jack was stomping off to go find him because of what happened to Boone.

Down the rabbit hole...
As of tonight I just finished ep. 20, "Do No Harm". Before I get into that though, let me say some words about the mind-warping, twist-filled, MIND FUCK that has been the previous 19 episodes!
I am a self-proclaimed t.v. snob. I don't watch a lot of network t.v. because well frankly- most of it sucks serious ass. Lazy plots, half-baked ideas for sow premises, horrible acting, cliche and predictable all around. I have found that Lost is a completely different creature. I simply was not prepared for this show.
Pilot episode, guy wakes up in the jungle to a labrador licking his face. Labrador in the jungle...ohhh kay but hey let's see where it goes. Guy runs to beach and total chaos, plane had crashed, and there is this big huge turbine engine still spinning. I think to myself, "this can't be good". Lo and behold a little later there is a random guy milling about in front of the engine.
Jack: Hey! Get away from the engine! Get away from the-
WHOOMNNNCHCCCCCH
KABOOM
Me on couch: "Oh Shhhhit!!"
I mean, you had an idea that it should happen, that it might happen that someone would get sucked into the turbine but really I didn't think they would go there. Oh how wrong I was. They'd go there, and go there often. If you're reading this you probably have seen all of this so I'm going to skip around and it's going to be random.
I like the way they introduce you to the main cast of characters on the show. Jack, who has basically been running things from the start. I still want to know what's up with those tats. He didn't have them when he got married. He had Alpha male status on the island but two things happened- first, Sawyer happened. Sawyer punks Jack every chance he gets. Second, Ethan happened. This is where Jack totally lost Alpha-male status. 'Cause Ethan whupped that ass. I mean beat-down and total pwnage. Ethan beat Jack like Jack owed him money. Luckily, Charli (You Areee Everybody!) put a cap in his ass. That guy was creepy. You know like the guy who shows up at the party that no one invited? In any case, lucky for Jack he is the doctor and is really smart.
Kate, aka "freckles" (who until recentlyI referred to as "nurse"). After watching this last episode she would be a really, really bad nurse..but anyway. Apparently she is a bad-ass, that has done some really, really bad things in the past. Including helping to rob a bank. And apparently she can take a right-hook like a champ. I have to admit I was really surprised when it turns out that she was the one in handcuffs. I thought for sure it was Sawyer. And so did you. lol. I have a feeling that she would fuse Sawyer and Jack together if she could. It'll be interesting to see how that whole thing plays out. Also want to know more about her back story. And that damn little air plane she got out of the case. All of that for a little toy airplane? Are you kidding me??
Sawyer- Ah, Sawyer. Very interesting story. Shame he shot that guy for nothing. I wonder if he will ever tell Jack that he talked to who could of been his father? Probably not. He's a good foil for Jack. Here's my main thing with him- does anyone else get the feeling he's partly based on Crockett from Miami Vice? The whole macho-rebel-ladies-man thing? The hair? The stubble? Check it out here. See what I mean? It would really crack me up if they started playing the Miami Vice theme song music whenever he came into a shot. Oh, and I guess he ran out of cigarrettes, 'cause he is now reading rather than smoking.
Locke- This dude is a whole post unto himself. Maybe later. Freeeakky!!
Walter- What powers does he have? Something is up with this kid. Want to know more!
Michael- Glad him and Jin have made friends. I predict he will still eventually hook up with Sun and make Jin watch, just for spite.
Jin- Will drown Michael after the boat is finished and then pilot it himself. He doesn't fool me! His back story is great though. He has a good heart. Stop being a jerk!
Sun- Should of gotten her ass in that car when she had the chance. No, I know why she went though. But when she started speaking English? It was like WHAT? When the hell?? Bah.
I'll share thoughts on the others later. Hurley is a favorite. His story is *crazytown*!!! The numbers! Aiiigh the numbers! And the hatch! NUMBERS ON THE HATCH. Then the damn hatch lights up!!! I thought I had an idea about what was up with the numbers, but of course that all got blown to shit when I saw the numbers on the hatch. WHAT'S IN THE DAMN HATCH?????
Don't you dare tell me.
Crazy-ass island. With the polar bears. POLAR BEARS. Maybe they came from the hatch?? lol.
I will leave you with this exchange from the first night watching:
I am a self-proclaimed t.v. snob. I don't watch a lot of network t.v. because well frankly- most of it sucks serious ass. Lazy plots, half-baked ideas for sow premises, horrible acting, cliche and predictable all around. I have found that Lost is a completely different creature. I simply was not prepared for this show.
Pilot episode, guy wakes up in the jungle to a labrador licking his face. Labrador in the jungle...ohhh kay but hey let's see where it goes. Guy runs to beach and total chaos, plane had crashed, and there is this big huge turbine engine still spinning. I think to myself, "this can't be good". Lo and behold a little later there is a random guy milling about in front of the engine.
Jack: Hey! Get away from the engine! Get away from the-
WHOOMNNNCHCCCCCH
KABOOM
Me on couch: "Oh Shhhhit!!"
I mean, you had an idea that it should happen, that it might happen that someone would get sucked into the turbine but really I didn't think they would go there. Oh how wrong I was. They'd go there, and go there often. If you're reading this you probably have seen all of this so I'm going to skip around and it's going to be random.
I like the way they introduce you to the main cast of characters on the show. Jack, who has basically been running things from the start. I still want to know what's up with those tats. He didn't have them when he got married. He had Alpha male status on the island but two things happened- first, Sawyer happened. Sawyer punks Jack every chance he gets. Second, Ethan happened. This is where Jack totally lost Alpha-male status. 'Cause Ethan whupped that ass. I mean beat-down and total pwnage. Ethan beat Jack like Jack owed him money. Luckily, Charli (You Areee Everybody!) put a cap in his ass. That guy was creepy. You know like the guy who shows up at the party that no one invited? In any case, lucky for Jack he is the doctor and is really smart.
Kate, aka "freckles" (who until recentlyI referred to as "nurse"). After watching this last episode she would be a really, really bad nurse..but anyway. Apparently she is a bad-ass, that has done some really, really bad things in the past. Including helping to rob a bank. And apparently she can take a right-hook like a champ. I have to admit I was really surprised when it turns out that she was the one in handcuffs. I thought for sure it was Sawyer. And so did you. lol. I have a feeling that she would fuse Sawyer and Jack together if she could. It'll be interesting to see how that whole thing plays out. Also want to know more about her back story. And that damn little air plane she got out of the case. All of that for a little toy airplane? Are you kidding me??
Sawyer- Ah, Sawyer. Very interesting story. Shame he shot that guy for nothing. I wonder if he will ever tell Jack that he talked to who could of been his father? Probably not. He's a good foil for Jack. Here's my main thing with him- does anyone else get the feeling he's partly based on Crockett from Miami Vice? The whole macho-rebel-ladies-man thing? The hair? The stubble? Check it out here. See what I mean? It would really crack me up if they started playing the Miami Vice theme song music whenever he came into a shot. Oh, and I guess he ran out of cigarrettes, 'cause he is now reading rather than smoking.
Locke- This dude is a whole post unto himself. Maybe later. Freeeakky!!
Walter- What powers does he have? Something is up with this kid. Want to know more!
Michael- Glad him and Jin have made friends. I predict he will still eventually hook up with Sun and make Jin watch, just for spite.
Jin- Will drown Michael after the boat is finished and then pilot it himself. He doesn't fool me! His back story is great though. He has a good heart. Stop being a jerk!
Sun- Should of gotten her ass in that car when she had the chance. No, I know why she went though. But when she started speaking English? It was like WHAT? When the hell?? Bah.
I'll share thoughts on the others later. Hurley is a favorite. His story is *crazytown*!!! The numbers! Aiiigh the numbers! And the hatch! NUMBERS ON THE HATCH. Then the damn hatch lights up!!! I thought I had an idea about what was up with the numbers, but of course that all got blown to shit when I saw the numbers on the hatch. WHAT'S IN THE DAMN HATCH?????
Don't you dare tell me.
Crazy-ass island. With the polar bears. POLAR BEARS. Maybe they came from the hatch?? lol.
I will leave you with this exchange from the first night watching:
G: fuuuuck! Smthg just ate the fkg pilot! What the fuck kind of shit is this!
G: now he’s in a tree! Eff this island.
A: LMAO! Oh honey, just you wait :O you have not yet begun to say eff this island.
