FINALLY. Let’s just get right into this, shall we? So last night’s Sun and Jin episode opens in Camp Locke, where Jin is still bandaging his ankle from Claire’s bear trap. Walk it off, Jin. Locke comes up and tells Jin that Sun is on the island, and that he is going to go get her and bring her back to the camp, and explains the names on the cave wall in what can only be an entirely unsatisfying way to someone just hearing about them for the first time, much less for someone whose name is on that wall. He’s just like, “So James told you how there is a cave wall and your name is on it?” And Jin is like “I guess so, yeah.” Uh, guys, WHAT? Are you talking about the magical secret cave where Jacob wrote the names of all the candidates whom he had been tracking throughout their lives to protect the paranormal island filled with pockets of electro-magnetic upside-down energy from evil wine? “I guess so, yeah.” You guys sure don’t scare easy. So Locke is like “don’t worry, I will go get Sun,” because if there is one thing that we know about the men on this island, it is that they love being told to sit and wait while someone else goes and doe something, especially when that something relates to bringing back their wives/Walts.
Nope. Jin is like “peace, beach.”
Sawyer comes up to him and is like “where do you think you’re going, Soup Dumpling,” and Jin is like, “I’m getting the hell away from that thing.” (You mean the thing that just said he was going to go find your wife? Who you have been looking for like crazy? So just to clarify, your first priority is “getting away from that thing.” Just want to make sure.) Jin is also like, “Uh, Sawyer, me and the other girls have been talking about it, and we think it’s weird that you’re Locke’s bitch now.” Sawyer is like “I’m not Locke’s bitch. For one thing, I only do every OTHER thing that he tells me to do no questions asked. And for another thing tranquilizer dart.” The island is under attack! I should have known something was up when the episode opened with some night vision Room Raiders footage. Charles Widmore wants to know who has been masturbating in their tent, and then based on which tent has the coolest style, he’s going to go with them on a submarine date! (What?!)
Meanwhile, back in Bizarro Los Angeles, Jin has finally been released by the customs agents from episode one. But they are keeping his $25,000 cash. Haha. WELCOME TO AMERICA! THAT IS HOW WE ROLL! Now all Jin has is this stupid watch. And he’s late for “the restaurant.” You know, the restaurant. “Welcome to the United States of America.” “Can you tell me how to get to the restaurant?” Perfect. They go to the hotel to check in and the concierge is like “that will be one room for Sun and Jin Kwon because you are both married as we all know,” and Jin is like, no, two rooms. And the guy is like what? And we are like what? And Jin is like “no married,” and the guy is like “ah,” and we are like “WHUUUUUT?”
Although, just because Bizarro Jin and Bizarro Sun aren’t married in Bizarro LA doesn’t mean they aren’t bizarro doing it.
YOWZA! The next morning, Sun suggests that instead of giving the watch to the man at the restaurant, they should just run away together. Well, you could do both? I mean, as we will soon find out, the man at the restaurant is a total jerk. But here in the soft simple light of morning, with foresight being 0-0, I don’t understand why running away and giving the man at the restaurant the watch are mutually exclusive. Oh wait, there is someone at the door. Jin goes to hide in the bathroom. I wonder who it could be! Oh right, this asshole.
It is “the man from the restaurant.” He is looking for Jin, because Jin has something for him. Blah blah blah. Sun hides Jin’s shoes? Whatever. She gives the guy his watch, but the guy also wants his $25,000, which, to be honest, fair enough. The guy is a creep with a creep face, but he is a creep with a creep face who is coming up $25,000 short. Eventually, though, he puts everything together, like Sherlock Holmes from the restaurant.
Honestly, I am so bored by the alternate Los Angeles plotline that I am just going to rattle through this quickly. So Sherlock Holmes’s friend comes to help him find Jin. Oh look there he is, in the bathroom. In the dark. With his shirt off.
Sun promises that she can get the man from the restaurant his money, she just needs to go to the bank. The man from the restaurant calls in his Russian friend who speaks a hundred languages to go with her.
WHUUUUUUUT?! It’s the eye-patch guy from the Dharma Initiative. But Sun’s account is all closed out. Her dad emptied it. Why would he do that? I guess to pay the man in the restaurant $25,000 to murder Jin. OH NOOOOOO! The money Jin was carrying was for his own assassination! Yikes! The man in the restaurant ties him up in the walk-in cooler, so already we know he is going to be fine, because we saw Sayid save Jin from the walk-in cooler a few weeks ago. Also, what is this walk-in cooler?
Haha. What? Where is this restaurant? In the Centers for Disease Control? I am pretty sure we can all relax. It is a big refrigerator. NO GIANT CAUTION SIGNS NEEDED. Anyway, it takes the guys a few minutes:
But they get Jin tied up. And then they get shot. Sayid shows up with his dickface on and refuses to let Jin go, but he does point a gun in his face, and put a box cutter in his bound hands. What a cool dude! So Jin gets free just in time to stop Mikhail who has come back with Sun.
He shoots Mikhail in the eye. Get it?
You get it. But he also shoots Sun in the belly (where her secret baby is).
Are you sure, Jin? Are you sure she will be all right? Because she was just shot in the stomach in a foreign country where she doesn’t speak the language and her bank account has been entirely emptied by her father who sent her along with her boyfriend for him to be assassinated. Oh, she’ll be fine, I’m sure. CAN WE GO BACK TO THE ISLAND NOW, PLEASE?
So, back on the island, Ilana keeps assuring everyone that Richard is going to return from his vision quest and know what to do next. Ultimately we know that this is probably going to be true, but she keeps explaining that the reason she knows this is because Jacob never lied to her before? Who said anything about lying? Couldn’t Jacob have just been wrong? The people on this island are way too grandiose when it comes to, well, everything. Meanwhile, Jack continues to know nothing. Why don’t you go drink from your baby bottle, Jack.
Sun gets fed up with everyone and goes to her garden. Jack tries to follow her, but even Sun can’t deal with Jack anymore. Get out of here, Jack! Then Locke shows up. He is like “I told you I would find Jin, and I did, you just have to come with me.” He holds out his hand.
Haha. YA BURNT, LOCKE! Sun runs through the jungle, and Locke chases her. Then Sun stops running through the jungle.
When she comes to SHE CAN NO LONGER SPEAK ENGLISH. Oh boy. Here we go. Jack is like “It might be Aphasia.” WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SHUTTING THE HELL UP, JACK?! Ugh, this show.
Meanwhile, Locke returns to his camp to discover that everyone has been shot with darts and Jin is gone. So he gives Sayid a gun and tells him to wrap it in plastic. Sawyer is OUT. Claire is OUT. Locke is like “I need to get everyone on that plane, because I am an ancient metaphysical shape-shifter that embodies all evil, so I escape on airplanes, duh.” What? But then he is like “and after that, whatever happens, happens.” Claire doesn’t hear him, though, because dung beetles have made their home in her ears. (Claire is gross.)
While this is going on, Jin wakes up on the set of Saw.
Would Jin like to play a game?
Actually, it is that weird Clockwork Orange room that Ben’s daughter Alex’s boyfriend was in that one time? That was being guarded by the dude from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia? Remember how crazy the room seemed back then and how now it is literally an after-thought tossed aside like so many empty bottles of moloko. Zoe tases Jin (don’t tase Jin, bro!)…because she needs to ask him about some maps? That seems a bit much, nerd. Jin is like, “I am not answering your questions about Dharma Initiative maps from the 1970s signed by me because you should just watch the last season of Lost on DVD. It’s not like there’s any reasonable explanation other than that anyway.”
Outside, Locke shows up at Camp Widmore. Things get pretty tense.
Locke says something about a wise man bringing war to the island. Was that him? Or Jacob? Could some nerd please tell me if it was the man in black or Jacob? Speaking of nerds, Widmore goes back to the submarine and yells at Zoe. He is not ready for war! They had a timetable! Zoe is like, “Then maybe you shouldn’t have hired a geophysicist.”
Right. I love that she can stage a successful nighttime military attack on a camp of well-armed hostiles and kidnap a target, but she’s a geophysicist, so she can’t STICK TO A FUCKING TIMETABLE. And the timetable says war starts on the FOURTH day. Anyway, Widmore meets with Jin, and is like, here is a digital camera with photos of your daughter.
I guess in all the excitement over taking the submarine to the island, he didn’t have any time to print them out at a higher resolution. “But you get the idea. She’s a kid.” Widmore explains that they have to stop Locke, because if he escapes the island, then every little girl in the world will cease to exist. Then he says, “I think it’s time you saw the package.” THAT IS WHAT WIDMORE SAID!
Back on the main island, Sun is looking great.
Richard comes back and explains that he knows what they have to do. They have to stop the man in black. REALLY, RICHARD? You guys, I’m worried about Richard. I think someone might have spiked his canteen with Obvious Pills. Anyway, Richard explains that they have to stop him by destroying the airplane. Ugh, still with the airplane? You guys, the smoke monster isn’t escaping on the airplane. But Sun isn’t having any of this anyway.
She is here to save her husband, not save the world. And again Sun storms off. We should probably name her Storm. RIGHT YOU GUYS?! So Jack (ugh) goes to find her and gives her a pad of paper, and it turns out that Sun can write English, she just can’t speak it? THAT IS EVEN WORSE SOMEHOW! Of course, there was no time to get upset with this show’s ridiculous Sun plotline when there was that goddamned V chyron to worry about.
But so, Jack promises Sun that he is going to help her save Jin and that they won’t leave the island without him. And he asks Sun if she trusts him, and she says that she does. And then he offers her his hand. Uh, Jack?
Why don’t you wipe your filthy hand off for the lady, Jack. If this is what your beachside manner is like, I would hate to be your spinal surgery patient! “Doctor, should you be eating a pulled pork sandwich in the surgery room?” “Do you trust me?”
And then meanwhile back again on the other island, Sayid rises out of the water like a little mermaid! “This means war! And being a real girl!” And he spies some of Widmore’s people removing “the package” from the submarine. WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE?!
Oh, the package is just Desmond? Hahha, OK.

Whew! Glad we got the Jin/Sun episode out of the way. Now I don’t have to read captions again until Die Antwoord posts another Youtube video.
Michelle Obama gives this comment a thumbs up.
This baby refreshes Videogum SO MUCH!
Anyway, I don’t need to know about some TV show I’ve never even watched. I need to know how many buttz were suxxed by a certain someone.

I’m starting to think Steve Winwood is the Smoke Monster.
I wonder if he’s the real Steve Winwood.
maybe hes da cake eatur?
Hit in the head, and forgot meme-glish?
I stood up for you on the other thread, Steve Winwood, when it was just a joke. Or so I thought. But not again. Twist, ‘LOST’ card.
The Topher sucking butts is not your commentator meme. Just a quick reminder, hope it helps! #calmstevewinwoodlines
I’m Not Your BRO, Buddy.
And I’m Not Your Buddy, Pal.
ugh, this is so esoteric! I mean what in the hell are you guys even talking about?
That’s probably what I would say if I ever watched an episode of Lost.
Its sad that I knew exactly what you guys were talking about
meanwhile where is topher suxx buttz?
I LOL’d when Locke & Sahid were leaving and Sawyer gets up and doesn’t ask where they’re going, but: “Where are you guys going… with those GUNS!!!”
I have theorized that Sayid’s special mission is to find one of the magic whistles to get everyone off the Island.

Upvoted BC Groupthink is the magic WORD OF THE DAY!!!!!
It’s more about simply posting negative comments that aren’t even funny (of course you are also very funny sometimes too).
You can dislike Lost as much as you want. I’ve never even seen it, myself. Rock’n'roll, freedom of speech.
I only downvoted you because you already made your point clear, that you hate Lost before. It now just seems like your goal is to piss people off.
But hey, we still love you!
Steve, of course you’re allowed. That’s plain silly that you think you’re not. I downvoted you because what’s the point? You’re essentially saying, “I didn’t watch this and it sucks” which has little to no root in logic. Your whole “character” seems to based on the antagonization of popular opinion, and that’s when I think you’re trying to hard. You can be really funny (and I wonder how many of your posts are just trying to fuck with us), but you often come off as bitter and petty. I don’t like bitterness and pettiness!
If you have an “unpopular opinion” (whatever that is), I think people would appreciate it if you expanded on your ideas. Again, I think you’re funny and I want to let you be great, but you just come off as pointlessly negative most of the time. I see Videogum as an oasis from that negativity.
This has been a needlessly in depth and unfocused dissection of why I downvoted an internet commenter’s post.
Notable three-peats: The Chicago Bulls, New York Yankess, Steve Winwood (or did I just jinx it?)
why is everyone downvoting this? Steve keep saying you don’t like LOST.
The comments on the Gossip Girl recaps are often “this is horrible, I’m glad I don’t watch it” and I as someone who really enjoys the recaps and would enjoy the show I don’t wig out.
Steve didn’t even say it in a mean way. Relax, Monsters!
I agree to a degree. I have nerded out pretty hard on LOST in the past, especially during the “Lost Experience” when I tried to get my friend who lived in Chicago to go to an event where they were handing out Apollo chocolate bars just so I could add it to my odd chocolates collection, but I can definitely understand how people don’t like this show. It doesn’t bother me in the least because it is a ridiculous fictional tv show.
However, if you are going to say something sucks over and over, at least provide a few reasons. Otherwise, it is just amateur trolling.
I just want to make one final comment on this controversy and then I will let this go:
Everyone’s all like “You hate LOST but you think Videogum is a terrific blog? Yeah no hypocrisy there, guy (sarcasm).”
But guess what? Allow me to pop the Videogum bubble of group think here for a second with this shocking revelation before we fade to black and cut to a commercial: Gabe doesn’t appear to like LOST all that much either. Read his recaps, he seems to be pointing out quite a few problems with it and he doesn’t seem to be enjoying it very much. Are you going to down-vote him too? I’m thinking you won’t.
“Come with me, I think it’s time you see the package.” – Charles Widmore cracks me up.
I felt extremely immature laughing at that line when he said it, but I certainly did laugh.
Any idiot knows you don’t drink out of a plastic Nalgene bottle, Jack. What kind of doctor are you?
no way, the new ones don’t kill you anymore.
But, to be fair, the ones from 2004-2007 DEFINITELY would kill you.
True! But who can say exactly WHEN that bottle was made? It could be a future-plastic Nalgene bottle from, like, November 2012 (they hit perfection just before the world ends, I hear) or it could be a pollutes-everything Nalgene bottle from May 2002. You just never know, with Lost.
So true. Better to be safe than sorry, especially on that batshit crazy island. Death by Nalgene would be the lamest way to go.
Who knew that all this time that “Trapped in the Closet” was really about Desmond?
It’s good to know somebody else was IRRATIONALLY FUCKING IRRITATED by the giant goddamn V in the corner. Thanks ABC, but I don’t really care how many minutes and seconds it is until a show comes on that I am going to fall asleep during.
Oh yeah! I woke up from my Us V Zzzzzzzzz coma to the local news running a story on everyone’s jailbait boyfriend Justin Bieber! Apparently one of his fans was killed (by a bus!) early yesterday and he turned it into a trending topic on Twitter, whatever that is.
http://tinyurl.com/yz3f7j8
That’s a safe link this time, swears. And that’s what’s up with Justin Bieber.
Was there, perchance, a stabbed priest?
You’re 3 seasons late bro… and he wasn’t stabbed, he was killed by a giant pillar of black smoke.
“GOOD JOB, ABC!” – Seriously! How dumb was that? Fuck you V!
I thought it was supposed to be a slick marketing move, like “I don’t trust V.”
so we can all relax now, right? no more monster freak-outs about gabe’s mysterious absence this morning or the delay of the lost recap? the tension on twitter and the comment threads today was a little too much.
I found it really moving when Jin said, “I love you and V THEY RETURN 00:24:43.”
“What are you telling me, Sayid? Sun knocked her head and suddenly can’t speak English? Really, brother? REALLY?”
So Jin’s father-in-law is trying to get him killed in bizzaro LA while Des’s father-in-law is now referring to him as “the package” and dragging him around on splintery dock-wood in the face-down position.
Puts other in-law troubles into perspective.
Also, this comment has 7 hyphens in it.
Darn, if it had 8 hyphens it would’ve tied in with the show perfectly.
Sayid totally = Ponyo. I’d make a gif but I don’t know how to make gifs. I don’t even really know how to make a jpg. I’m old.
Scenes from next week are funny. Bagpipes? Must be a Desmond episode! Oh, Lost. You and your subtleties.
My luck/tv ran out or something so I couldn’t watch this episode. But I just wanted to say it was fun chatting with you guys!
So did anyone notice that when Martin Keamy (“creep face from restaurant”) told his partner they should get the Russian guy, he called him “Danny’s friend”? I’m hoping “Danny” is none other than our Daniel Faraday, and he’s a badass gangster in Sideways LA. How cool would that be?
There are a lot of Danny’s/Daniel’s/Dan’s on the show. Here’s a list of possibilities!
Daniel Faraday (Upham)
Danny Picket (an Other)
Dan Norton (Ben’s lawyer who harassed Kate)
Danny (Ana Lucia’s never-seen ex-boyfriend)
Spin the frozen donkey wheel!
There’s also a lot of Charles’
Chalie Pace
Charles Widmore
Charlie (Desmond and Penny’s kid)
Charles Dickens (mentioned several times)
I would never be a gangster. Not unless it involves cornrows.
You are awesome just for thinking this.
What does Claire do all day? Sweep chimneys? Seriously wash your face, lady!
That wig…THAT WIG!
I like that they captured Jin and placed him in a throw-back mystery room. Maybe that’ll be a plot device from here on out. Like, maybe the remaining episodes are just people getting hijacked to various places from the earlier episodes that we haven’t seen in a while so that it all feels more connected to the early stuff.
“Wow. Where am I?”
“You’re in episode 5 of season 2, Jin.”
There have been a lot of throw-back places so far: the caves, the beach, Sun’s garden, Room 23. Even that scene at the end of Ben’s episode–we saw Jack, et al., walking around that one bush that everyone always walks around. I thought, “oh, that bush. How I love you.” (That’s what Widmore said.)
I’m pretty confused to why they made such a big deal out of the “locked door on the submarine” & that was the only thing sawyer seemed to notice on his trip tothe sub, and it just turns out to be desmond? Why is the package of desmond so important? Guess I’ll be confused until next week. Also, they needed to have that beach convo with Not locke & Widmore about 30 minutes longer.
Desmond is special – we’ve been told so multiple times. And Widmore’s intervention in his and Penny’s r’ship over time may have been as much for Penelope as it was for Des’ good, so he could get back free of attachment and free from hurting Pen.
As far as the reasons for being able to call him special?
Well He turned the failsafe key at the end of S2. There was the noise, and the light, and the hatch went bada-boom. Big bada-boom
But he ended up naked in the jungle, wondering whahappen, while Locke and Eko had their own spirit quests of a sort after that point.
A crucial piece of info was somehow able to be delivered to him through time, when the Time Shifters ended up popping into Des’ timeline. Des was off island and four years past leaving, yet he had a “dream” as the new (old?) memory was being programmed into his brain.
Faraday sought Des in the back entrance of the hatch specifically because of his (as yet un-happened) happening in the Hatch with the failsafe/detonation key. Des is one of my favorites, and I can not wait for next week. BAGPIPES!
Desmond is definitely one of my favorites as well. All he wants is to be with his Penneh, but nooOOooo, the universe(multiverse?) just keeps on brutalizing him. Next thing you know he is going to get Entitilitis from the hatch radiation. My favorite thing about him is how he can convey such a range of emotion just by the inflection in his voice when he says “brotha” at the end of a sentence.
As far as him being special, Faraday says at one point that the rules don’t apply to him. This could be interpreted as the time travel/changing the past type rules don’t apply, but it could also(maybe?) mean that the rules that bind Smoky and Jacob do not apply to him, making him important somehow in defeating Smoky? I dunno, I knew as soon as Widmore said the package was a “who” that it would be Desmond, but of course that reveal just brought up more questions. The only question that got answered for me this episode was “How great would a close up of Sun’s breasts look?”
I was certain the package was Walt – he’s always been creepier than Desmond and more interesting.
Desmond is a Slider
Was Big Daba Boom a Fifth Element reference? If so, I need to tell you your awesome more often.
I’d be so happy if I got a package and it was Desmond. Just saying…nothing witty. Just girly.
Something something Desmond’s package.
Everybody Loves Desmond!
I keep saying it because it’s never not true!
I’m in lourve with Mr. Hume, and I’m a totally sexually confused guy!
Give this guy all the upvotes.
If this doesn’t get some kind of mention in MB, I don’t know why I’m here.
I thought the pairing of a Jin episode with the Desmond reveal was pretty clever, actually — both of those guys have been majorly fucked over because they dated the boss’s/rich dude’s daughter. But where, perchance, is Penneh??
on Flash Forward
I’m just sooo glad Sun doesn’t have full on Amnesia. That would be the worst, possibly a dealbreaker.
She Got Tower of Babel’d By FLocke
I like how Locke was all like “Feel free to kill the crap outta Kate once I’m done using her for my own personal gain”. I hope Lost isn’t just getting my hopes up.
I think Lost might be getting your hopes up (and mine). This is the second or third time they’ve said they were going to kill Kate this year.
Also, if Kate is still one of the candidates, will killing her cause some sort of issue?
Nope. S.M. Locke stated he needs her as bait to be used to get the other candidates to come with his posse (re: JACK, because no one else gives a shit about Kate).
After that tho? She’s Claire-bait.
Chum the waters.
Just realized that the recaps are funnier if you do not watch the show the night before… SHUT UP, D33R.
I’m bored of the alternative/time-filling stupid universe story lines. They just don’t make sense to me. At first I thought it was only different after the plane didn’t crash, but then it turned out to be a completely detached story where… SNOOOOOOREEEEE
Please, 30 Rock, have some fake-LOST characters appear out of nowhere as revenge for this geophysicist LiZOE Lemon or whatever.
Well, apparently over at AV Club there are a lot of people who sound credible (they use big words and shit) saying that Sun’s case of aphasia is pretty realistic. especially since she very recently learned English.
also, there’s a thought that Sun’s inability to speak english could be connected to her multi-verse self not knowing any language but korean and a sign that the multi verses are beginning to slide together. I really, really, don’t believe that the creators of Lost would throw something that ridic in the mix this late in the series- when everyone is already all twitchy and kneejerky- just for shits.
aaaand peep her taking a second look in the mirror in the alt verse like something wasn’t quite right.
aaaand, Gabe noted it many many weeks ago, seemingly as a joke, but it is true that every single episode there is a different character playing a different game with Miles. this week it was Lapidis and Poker. that is “[almost] Definitely Not a Coincidence” as the kids say.
and either way if you think that the Sun thing is lame, just think of how much LOST people made up for it- zombie Sayid is such a striking device. it’s really one of the most intriguing mysteries to me. It wasn’t just that he is a zombie, it’s that he became that way specifically after he encountered Locke, let’s not forget that.
I need to watch season 2 all over again so I can care about Desmond. honestly, as LOSTnerd as I am, the time travel stuff kind of just disoriented me till where Desmond just kind of became an instrument for confusing shit, and I forgot how to care about him emotionally.
note how Sawyer’s tone with Locke is much more openly hostile now. they were so cordial the last episode, it’s completely changed. something’s going to go down.
Cuse and the other guy are totally hyping the next episode up. “the conversation is going to change” or something, they say. uh oh!
time for an alt-universe gamebreaker. I seriously trust , again, that they would gamble their sixth season on a story device that doesn’t mean anything. I could be wrong, but Lost has almost always trumped the naysaying and lowered expectations.
“well,” “apparently,” “peep” “note” “let’s not forget that” I sound like an asshole. sry
still love you!
I like your thoughts. Keep them coming.
“Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.” Here, I fixed your comment for you.
Thanks! Next time I won’t out you as a CIA agent. Oh, wait, shit…
because you seem like a scholar, I will direct this observation to you. Didn’t it seem that Sayid showed really emotion in his eyes when he saw Desmond. Could the appearance of Desmond break Monster-Locke’s control over people?
I sure hope so. I like my Sayid filled with emotion: rage, sadness, inexplicable love for Shannon. This whole “I feel nothing” dead eyes crap is pissing me off.
Also, if Lost doesn’t give Pen and Des a happy ending, I will burn all my DVDs like Kate burned her dad….real crispy like.
So, I know that being nitpicky with LOST is a losing battle, but even in the multiverse shouldn’t Mikhail have been 30 years older?
No? Mikhail was only present in the original Lost timeline in 2004.
which reminds me, Charlie missed all the time-travellin’ fun. Imagine a fuckin Eko vs Keamy karate fights. I hope there are way more karate fights in the weeks to come. and flying toolbox TKOs.
I’m thinking Juliet will be the doctor who tends to Sun’s gunshottedbaby party.
Oh. Whoops!
Oooo…good call on the Juliet thing…I also think Juliet will turn out to be Jack’s ex-wife/baby mama in alt universe LA!
Full disclosure, I love lost. That said, for a show that’s placing all of civilizations survival on the choices we make between right and wrong, good and evil could we not have found a better candidate then Son who is chooses saving Jin over saving the world. And instead of Jack, doctor he is (spinal doctor he is) reminding Son that saving the world is probably a good step in continuing relations with Jin… Ok forget Jack for a moment. What I’m saying is that you cannot give me these kinds of decision makers to save my world Jacob. Jack got his degree from a beige building except at night when shadows made it shadow color. Who cares, we all know the real enemy is Adam “SinJIN!!!!” St. John of Driveshaft. Get it?! SIN-JIN!? Gabe, Lost is no more done with us than we are with this Tristan and Isolade dragon bong
Someone’s been smoking some heavy doobies…
Ha ha great post!
Oh, and also I must not have been paying much attention before because I didn’t realize that Desmond’s last name was Hume. Locke, Hume, was Kate’s real dad’s last name Berkeley?
Yeah, I’m sorry guys, I don’t know why I posted that comment either.
I went ahead and nerded it up and looked on Lostpedia for Gabe’s question about what wise man said, “A war was coming to the island.” Turns out it was Widmore who said that to Locke in the episode “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,” after Locke got pooped out of the island onto Tunisia.
Why is Tina Fey tasing Jin and why is V tweaking his nipple?
Remember when Gabe’s LOST recaps were funny and clever instead of whiny and repetitive? It’s as if he’s been transformed from Hurley into Kate. (Gabe did say he was on an airplane so maybe sometimes Gabe’s posts are written by sideways Gabe/Kate)
Looking forward to the downvotes.
When was Hurley clever and funny?
i agree. i keep reading them but they’re not that fun anymore.
I’m sorry if this has been brought up before but Zoe looks an awful lot like crazy French lady.
Thats the guy from hackers, good actor.
