Uuuuuuuuuuuuggghhhhh... I'm two episodes behind.
... I mean, I have been watching; I just haven't been blogging. This "getting settled into a new house" thing is very difficult. This is the first time that we have moved with children. It feels like our life has been turned upside down... and it has. But everything seems to be calming down and we are settling in. I am going to try to do the "two birds" with one post and catch up. Let me first appologize with a quote from Sawyer and Jin:
"I'm sorry. You were right. Those pants don't make you look fat."
Also, since I switched to Dish, I trying to figure out how to get the show from my DVR to my capture computer. Until I figure it out, I will not be able to post screen captures.
Lost: "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" Airdate: February 28, 2007
Hurley's dad is a deadbeat a-hole. When he left,I was thinking it could have been around the time that Cheech hooked up with Chong and went "Up In Smoke." Let's do some time-line math: Now = 2004 (It may be close to 2005 on the island now. I need a time reference). His dad left 17 years ago. That would put his exit in the year of 1987, right? So a Cheech and Chong paralell can not be drawn... not that it would fit anywhere andI don't know why I'm typing this. I think I am losing it. I shaved my head and got a tatoo last night before the show. Some sort of Chinese symbol that means "the cheese smells like my shoe." Alright, so I didn't get a tat, but I did shave my head... and I get to keep MY kids. Sorry, where was I? Even though Hugo's father was a deadbeat, he did deliver an important message (as I contradict myself): "Having hope is never stupid. In this world, you've got to make your own luck." So maybe he wasn't that bad after all. He even told Hugo to give away all of the money.
Even though it was a set-up, the Psychic/Tarrot was very spooky. Pulling the death card and knowing the "cursed" numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 for those who need a refresher. Hurley's mom used the lottery winnings to lure his dad back, and I'm sure she didn't have to twist to hard. She must have told him in conversation that Hugo thought the numbers were cursed and gave him enough info to give to the psychic/tarrot reader.
Looking back, I'm pretty sure that we knew that Hurley bought Mr. Cluck's with some of his lotter winnings. He also buys the box company where Locke works/worked. I think we also knew something happened to Mr. Cluck's. I think it may have been referenced last season, but this is the first time that we saw the meteor...er...ateroid...er...meteor hit Mr. Cluck's and kill Tricia. I wonder what the meteor/asteroid line was all about? For the record (and paraphrased from Wikipedia), and asteroids are small celestial bodies that drift in the solar system in an orbit around the sun. They are also called minor planets. If you read the entire wiki entry (I just scanned it... I'm not that sad) on asteroids, you'll see that the first few minor planets discovered were assigned symbols that look a lot like the symbols on the hatch clock when the time ran out. Meteors, on the hand, are...well, I'm tired of paraphrasing: "A meteor is a meteoroid that has entered the earth's atmosphere. It will then become brightly visible due to the heat produced by the ram pressure. If a meteor survives its transit of the atmosphere to come to rest on the Earth's surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. A meteor striking the Earth or other object may produce an impact crater." Since Mr. Cluck's is destroyed, that explains how and why we see Hurley's boss, Randy Nation(?), working as Locke's boss at the box factory.
Hey man! Peace, Love, Camaro's, VW Vans, and Three Dog Night 8-Tracks! "It's Dave. Open up man I got the stuff. Who? Dave's not here..." Sorry, another Cheech and Chong reference that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about... unless Hurley decides to light one up on the road to "Shambala." Does this mean that Hurley's "curse" is lifted and he is beginning a spiritual journey on a new path? Will this "new path" or "dirt road" that Dharma was building take him "home?" Also, because Charlie faced death head on, does this change anything? Desmond says, "It doesn't work that way." Talk amongst yourselves. ***Possible Spoiler (highlight the next few lines): I read a blurb yesterday from the writers that said that Dominic has been informed that he will not be back next season. Being the ever optomistic, it did not say he wouldn't return in season five. I know, I know, I got to let it go and take things for face value. Now the questions are: how and when will Charlie die? Will it be a season ending cliff hanger drawing us into season four where we have to wait all summer to see Charlie off'd?
(Random Thought) How long has been since we've seen Vincent? I cant remember.
Sawyer had some really good quips this episode: "Books, food, porno, and scotch;" "International House of Pancakes;" "Skeletor;" "Somebody's hooked on Phonics;" and his Little House On The Prarie reference... "I had mono..." He and Kate seem to be falling further apart, opening the door for a sloppy second reunion with Jack. Of course Jack is now hung up on Juliet.
When Kate said she was going for help, I initially thought she was going to try to find Carl and maybe Alex. As she got deeper into the jungle, Rousseau popped into my head. Crazy jungle lady become more crazy now that she know daughter alive... oogachucka... The writers can take Rousseau's character in many different directions now: she's good... she's bad...she good...she's bad...she's screwing everything up!!! Who knows which way they will go... er well, we know they are heading north.
I'm going to leave it here for right now. I am getting e-mails asking if I have dropped off the face of the earth. I'll pick up later today with last weeks episode.

Wonder what the deal is with Rousseau and Ben, possibly getting together to conceive Alex?? IF Ben is really Alex's father. And does Rousseau even know that Ben is the father - they could have drugged her or raped her or something.
I was kinda hoping that Hurley would make it back to Australia and find out more about the numbers.
I will have to revisit season one, but I think that Rousseau was pregnant already by someone else on her team. Ben just kidnapped and raised Alex as his own. They will probably do or at least try to do the same to Claire's baby. There is supposed to be some sort of "baby bombshell" later this season.
Leslie Said:
According to lost message boards on ABC, the general idea is Alex IS Rousseau's daughter that was kidnapped from her like she said, just the the kids from the Taillies. (Like Karl said, "to give them a better life", "Better than what", asks Kate. "better than yours", Karl responded.)
Then Alex is raised to believe that Ben IS her Dad, she wouldn't know any better, would she?
I liked the episode, (not loved it) it just went along with more character building, not action packed like a Schwartzanegger(sp?) Flick. We know why Hurley eats... I think Sawyer looked sad after he saw Kate was gone after his ride in the VW Van.
In the episode when Sawyer and Kate escape from Alcatraz (aka Hydra), before Sawyer put Karl in Alex's canoe/boat he called him Cheech, then lo-n-behold Cheech Marin appears in the next episode... coincidental?
I'm digging the names Sawyer comes up with for everyone, last night He called Hurley; Snuffy, Jumbo Tron, and Jin, Jinbo. He called Charlie, Oliver Twist, that was kinda funny too. I found a list somewhere a while ago with all the nicknames, I hope someone updates it, and I'll try and find it.
Dharma beer, warm and old, ummmmm sounds good. Maybe they should pour it into the Dharma Cereal?
Looks like EyePatchy McPatchavich is back next week....
Oh I have so much more to say, not enough time, and probably not important, but then again I could talk about LOST all day every Thursday.
Glad that your back.
BTW, Podcasts I've listened to, jayandjack.com
and lostcasts.com
'Til next week.
I missed you! Don't know you really, found your blog about a year ago. Been lurking ever since.
Anyway...is Jin's wife, Sun, still pregnant? I saw her in this last episode and she is still this skinny little woman. I was thinking she should be showing by now.
Yeah, missed you too. This blog is all part of my weekly Lost experience. Moving into new digs is kind of a busy, busy time, so you're forgiven.
I'm probably two steps behind everyone else on this one, but: Hurley owns box company Locke works at + Hurley is cursed = Locke in a wheelchair.
And am I still the only one who watches Lost the next day on his computer at ABC.com to avoid all the commercials?
You're 2 episodes behind again. we all know the computer does all the work at the station.
Come Back Tripp. I need your analysis to feed my fix. Your blog is the only Lost activity I participate in other than actually watching the show.
The previews for last night (3/14) said we would get a shocking conection between to castaways. Didn't we (you, me and everyone who reads your blog)already know that Jack's father was also Claire's father? Did they really think that would shock people?
Hopefully you will get all unpacked and plugged in soon.
