LOST: Two for the Road

Woo-hoo! Was THAT enough action for ya? And the moral of the story is...

...don't commit DWI while you're working on the set of LOST! BOTH DWI actresses may have bitten the dust! Btw, I saw on MSNBC, that the actress who plays Hotlips opted for jail time over community service...apparently because she won't be in Hawaii long enough to complete the service!

So...did BOTH die? [I can see Hurley blaming himself...] If so, and the preview means Eko will also be out of the show...does that leave only Bernard from the Tailees?

Seeing the previews for next week, it appeared to me that Michael may have shot himself to make it look like "Henry" was behind it all. He probably let "Henry" go. I guess you guys were right to not trust Michael! Did they tell him he could have his son back if he did what they said? Did they brainwash him about the "good" people and the "bad" people? (Is Locke REALLY good? Or was "Henry" lying once again? Did "Henry" really try to kill Hotlips or just motivate her to put him out of his misery?)

The thing that kills me about Jack is his tendancy to act before he thinks. [And it was just plain MEAN of him to burn the ending of that script! (Btw, I wonder if that was an "inside joke" about somebody's script?) Kate and Locke seemed a little suspicious, but Jack swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Kate KNOWS The Others don't live the way Michael described it, and so does Claire! I hope Jack thinks this through...]

Did you catch the Hanso commercial? I couldn't believe it!! (And I had the tape on "pause" during the commercials.) What a hoot!

OK...the Hanso Foundation ad said to call 877-Hansborg. I listened to the message (on the internet...I'm NOT so rabid I would actually CALL the number!) and it sounds like an automated company system, but it does give you some names: (you know, dial 2 for...) Alvar Hanso, Thomas Skinner? Middleberg?, Hugh McIntyre, Peter Thompson. I couldn't quite understand the second name. I've heard of Alvar Hanso. Are any of the other names familiar? It also gives presumably the same message in Danish, I guess, because at the end it gives the address of the foundation...in Copenhagen.

So...who is Jack's half sister? Claire? What are the other possibilities of women on the island who were living in Australia? It's creepy to think he might have developed an attraction to his own sister...yuck!

And it was great to see a con-man conned. Man, I saw that coming with the first kiss...

man BMT...you couldn't hobble out of Kathi's fast enough last night! I noticed the place cleared out pretty fast as 9:00 was approaching...lol

I am still shocked about Michael...however, I did see it coming. I mean you had to be real um, well...you HAD to see it coming! He snapped out of it too fast when he was in the hatch. It was the look that he was giving Jack. Did they brain wash him...or did they tell him to trade "henry" for Walt...Shooting Libby was not intended just that she happened upon the crime scene too fast and he couldn't think. They only said 1 was dead last night. so...Libby could still be alive! BUT the same thougt crossed my mind too when they were both shot. DUI gets you every time!

Didn't think about the sister thing with Jack. Could it be Libby? Why was she in Australia do we know that yet? Did she go there to "recover" from the hospital? Did Jacks dad send her there? He is paying the mortgage he said remember that?? how often has he been to Australia?

I think it is kinda funny how the powers have changed and Michael is going to be the "man" now. The scared didn't know what to do freaking out guy...funny!

Eko, I think falls and gets hurt, but I don't think he will be off the show. He has too much to offer the show.

Did you notice Kate's belly last night? how long can they hide that one?

what else??...I can't think of anything right now so off to finish making dinner.

Well, the last three episodes are probably in the can and there's a nice long hiatus. When is the actress due? It may not even be an issue. Just keep her out of the first few episodes, or face shots only, until she delivers or recovers. No, I didn't notice her tummy last night. I was too busy trying to keep track of all the peripheral details!!

Jen said...

Does anyone read this blog anymore? hmm...I am starting to think it is only the two of us! :)

Everyone moved on to the "other" blog with the big discussion!! :)

Jen said...

had a few thoughts...OK, Michael: do you think he is really on their side now OR do you think that he is trying to make it look like Henry did it so that Jack, Locke and everyone else will go after Henry. He was asleep when they were discussing it. Remember? Also, another thought what about Jacks dads OTHER child? could it be one of the kids that was taken from the tailee section of the plane? Was she even on the plane? My guess would be that she is. Remember Michael said they are keeping the kids seperate from the "others"...
We all know they are living in a hatch somewhere else, could it be that they are "living" in the woods because they knew that Michael would tell them that? What is the time period that we are at with all of this? Henry has only been held for 4 days? Is that what hot lips said? It seems so much longer than that so, I am not sure of the time frame. anyone know???

OK, back to the toiling job of being a mother! ;)

BethsMomToo said...

So you're saying Michael doesn't REALLY know what's going on with the Others? I tend to think he does, and has either bought into it or wants Walt back badly enough...though WHY he would trust them is beyond me.

Was Michael REALLY asleep?

Good one on the other possibilites for a sister for Jack. You KNOW she's gotta be one of the people on the island. I hadn't thought she migh be young enough to be one of the kids they took.

We haven't seen anything about Libby's background except for that one shot in Hurley's backstory. Wouldn't THAT be a bummer to be killed off before you even get your own backstory?! Lots of people think she's still alive. (Maybe she's one of the "good people" and maybe THEY are the ones who are mysteriously healed by the island...guess that would make Shannon NOT one of the "good ones"...no surprise there! What an annoyance she was...)

BethsMomToo said...

PS Jen...I've had enough of discussing pain and childbirth (who KNEW it would be such a topic!) on the "other site". It's fun to write something without having to translate any Bible passages. ;)

ok, watched the episode last night. I'm sad to say that I figured Libby would die because I heard that she had signed on to another show for next season and then I figured hot lips would either die or disappear because she's gonna be doing time.

I figured Michael wasn't to be trusted, but the remaining question is why? did he make an agreement with the 'others'? was he brainwashed to make him act a certain way? it seemed like he didn't know they had an other until hot lips told him after Jack left.

and they talked more about the 'good people' and the 'bad people'. there has to be something to that because we'd heard it before from another source. the kids are still good, and hot lips wasn't killed because they thought she might 'become good'. are they trying to create a perfect race and take people they can use?

and what about what Michael said about 'them' obviously they don't live like savages since its all a costume.

about that manuscript: it was supposedly from a guy that died on the plane. But if go to your local bookstore soon, you'll be able to find the actual book! they are putting out the book under the name of a fake author, the guy who would have died on the plane. I love the way this show is crisscrossing into reality and the way they are providing clues for people to find.

Tim Costine said...

oh, and did anyone catch the Patsy Cline song while Jack's dad was riding with hot lips? she also died in a plane crash.
