One of Them

Hey all!

Pretty straight forward episode. Hurley is fat and hiding food. Sawyer is going to throw in his typical low blows (Rerun, Barbar) and then pulls an *sshole move and killed the frog (Tiger can’t change his stripes). Jack trying to do the right thing and someone else doing their version of the right thing (didn’t you just want to smack him?!?). And it will go all the way to the end with very little revealed.

Then Pow!

Where to start!

Here are some crazy theories about Henry:

1. He’s an Other. He didn’t feel the pain and anguish you feel when you love someone who died. If he was all alone and buried her he would remember that pain. He also looked up at Sayid like “Ha! You didn’t get me!” I get the whole Locke thing about everyone is an other and quite possibly another group could arrive and then they become the others. But for now he is an other.

2. The connection between him and the Wizard of Oz also leads to he’s lying. Henry Gale was Dorothy’s Uncle, Dorothy’s last name is Gale, and of course the whole Hot Air Balloon. Notice when he said he was “Rich”? Was that his social position or his name? Like I did it because I was Rich, the type of guy to do adventurous things. Not I was rich, I had money.

3. Finally….remember that they found the skeletons of a couple in the cave? Could they be dead and he merely is a manifestation! Hmmmm..

As for the symbols on the counter….couldn’t you just scream! Anyway, they were Egyptian hieroglyphics = swd 3 = DIE, and it's a causative, which means it's a command to die. So the symbol means = “Cause to die.” I found the actual picture with the letter translation. I have no idea what it means in relation to everything. The alarm sounded, something was powering up and the doors were closing. But was that to keep something outside out or the other way around (Remember, quarantine is written on the inside, not the outside of the doors).

I believe Sayid knows Charlie is involved with the Sun kidnapping. He was like you know first hand how evil they were. NOONE was afraid of this guy and even suspected that he could have been the one who attempted to take Sun. Why is that? It was more of, who is he. Sayid knew that if they really wanted to take Sun, they would have and that only someone who was crazy with fear (Like Charlie is for Claire and her baby) would do something like that. I think it is interesting that Sawyer and Sayid turned to Charlie.

And finally…Kate’s dad (in the jeep looking at her picture). I missed it the first time I watched it. It was so quick. Not to mention the further connection of Sayid being arrested on TV in the background when Kate went to visit her father at the recruiting office. So many ties and so many links. Makes me wonder how tied we are in real life to one another???

That’s it for me. No Lost until March. :( I saw the preview (coming soon on Lost) and checked. The next episode is going to be good! Claire was taken to a medical facility (symbol on door). By who and for what??? Stay tuned…

The Long Con

Well hello everyone...

I can't help but love this show. Man! I hope the “sickness” is spreading and we get more folks infected at HTH. This is going to be a long one so bare with me. The stuff just keeps coming to me!!! Did you figure out the common thread???? It’s at the end of this in case you didn’t.

This was a tough one again this week. I didn’t like to see Charlie suffer last week and get punked in the end of the episode and now Sawyer reverting to his evil ways. Of course he never really changed…just was injured. But I think opportunity to con and truly being bad are not mutually exclusive. He can be an opportunist and still have some good in him. It seems slowly that they are breaking every character down.

Between Hurley and Sawyer, Sawyer wins for the best lines:

Hurley -
Are you going to put the Lime in the coconut and drink it all up?

Sawyer -
To Jack: Hang on, I'm about to get the high score on Donkey Kong.

To Locke: Sure, Sun gets attacked in the jungle, and you think it's a good time to start using the Dewey Decimal System.

Calling Jin Tokyo Rose.

And to Charlie: Look who had to relocate to the suburbs.

Love it!

Okay….clues….

Hurley threw that comment out about, “or another time.” When referring to the transmission. But I don’t think that means anything….yet another shout out by the writers to the freaks like me and our hair brain theories. Unless of course you connect that to when he was in the bunker the psychiatrist made a comment about the washer and dryer being newer than anything else? Hmmm…

Interesting that they have a Doctor, Psychiatrist and now a Dentist on the island? Why mention Bernard’s profession? Everyone - Sayid, Ana Lucia, Jack, Ecko, etc - former professions in life factors into their role on the island.

Back to more concrete things…I knew it was one of them who stole Jin. Because the dog was around and barked when Shannon got shot when it was the Others. Dog knew Charlie. And of course the watch he was wearing. I did remember the connection between the rain and the Others…but again…the writers throwing a curve ball.

Locke was probably looking for more parts of the reel in the books. The book he was shaking “Owl Creek Bridge” is about a civil war guy about to be hanged. But then he escapes from his captors and runs to freedom. Of course there is a loud noise and his neck is snapped and we find out he in fact is hanged and it was all in his mind that he got away. Surprisingly enough…I am taking it at face value and it is referring back to the whole episode being a con.

Interesting tidbit….Sayid and Hurley were listening to Glenn Miller on the radio. Glenn Miller disappeared as he was flying to Paris for a Christmas concert. He was never found, presumed dead in a plane crash. I get chills when I think of that.

I think that is it for now. Did you figure out the common thread???? The link this week was between Sawyer and Kate. Calling his girlfriend dimples and Kate freckles…subtle. But the big one was notice anything about the waitress at the diner where Sawyer met the other con man?? Kate’s mom.

Okay…that’s it for me. ‘nite.
