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
