Ana Lucia is annoying and one-dimensional because Michelle Rodriguez is annoying and one-dimensional. I heard her interview on Howard Stern when Girlfight came out, and they just about blew out the bleep button because of her potty mouth. She wanted to fight with just about every caller, and that attitude she’s showing on Lost was exactly the same as the one she brought to the interview. She was tolerable (but of course tough and confrontational) in Blue Crush, but she doesn’t bring much to the table.
Hey, Ms Macphisto, how do you get to the Lost episodes on IMDB? All I can find is season 1.
I thought it was sweet the way Rose just smiled and saved her chocolate bar for Bernard. I can’t wait to know more about her - she’s a wonderful character.
Did we ever learn if Charlie is actually using the drugs he found? Methinks there may be a reason for his irrational behavior.
Hurley’s poor problem solving skills have been seen in last season’s final episode. He seemed willing to jump onto about-to-explode dynamite when he freaked out over the numbers. I’d say his time of being cursed by the numbers has warped his brain a bit.
For the record, I feel this season is moving much, much faster than season one. I can’t bring myself to complain about answers & such when bits of info are being handed out at a record pace for this show. I thought this episode rocked.
Am I actually the first to say it, or did I miss this in the thread somewhere?
“It is Jesus! He wants to know what color car you want!”
I was pleasantly surprised to see DJ Qualls as Hugo’s best buddy. I love that guy.
So, apparently the Tail-vivers found a hatch too, but it seemed pretty gutted out. Anyone catch anything in there that made it look like it used to be a lab/living space/animal/pen? Looked like just a rusty metal box to me.
Maybe the Dharma Initiative made a hasty retreat from the Island after the “incident” that Marvin Candle mentioned in the ‘Orientation’ film?
-IB
What no one has mentioned so far is that there was three months of food for one man in the storeroom. The room seemed pretty full, which means somehow Desmond was being resupplied at regular intervals. He wasn’t eating 20 year old food, he was eating new food brought to him. So in some way there should be more food coming sooner or later. But the survivors have been doing a decent job of feeding themselves. They don’t need the food from the hatch. And I’d be suspicious of it being doped, myself.
Like he explained to Jack, though, all that food was for one person - Desmond. and it would have lasted maybe a couple more months, if it was only one person eating it. With 40 Losties munching at it, even rationing carefully wouldn’t have helped it to last very long. If they’ve managed over a month in the island without the Dharma-food, it’s because they’ve figured out a way to survive on what the island has to offer.
Besides, doing it this way makes Hurley the hero instead of the jerk who wouldn’t give people peanut butter.
The thing is, though, we’ve already established that Hurley deviates from normal in some fashion, or he wouldn’t have been in the psych ward, and he wouldn’t have gotten the numbers in the first place. There has to be some element of fragility in him, and it seems like self-esteem and that need to be liked is where his problems lie. I’m glad he’s not just the happy funny fat man. His irrational moments are what give depth to his character.
Like it or not, Hurley doesn’t really know how to handle a crisis. If someone gives him advice, it’ll calm him down and he’ll take it, but otherwise, he gets panicky and doesn’t know what to do. I don’t see that as selfishness on his part. It’s just desperation. And desperate people do stupid things.
I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning and they mentioned this website which has pictures of the scientists from the training film and compares them to the pictures of The Others who took Walt.
There are a few comparison pictures like that floating around the net, and the more I look at them, the more I think they really might be the same people.
I agree StGermain! I said the same thing last night to Stainz. The kicker is, the food should have been able to support 2 people. Technically it probably should have run out by now.
I do have a WAG, there may have been other store rooms with food that Desmond and the other guy had finished off already.
And that bunker where the tail-section people are was definitly a Darhma lab. Does anybody have any screen caps of the logo on the wall yet? I checked and the Darhma Industries and Hanso Foundation websites have been updated yet.
Random tidbits; I’m not going to go and quote everybody…
The guns CFL has look like the kind of rifles they’d have on board a ship for dealing with sharks. The gun Locke was messing was more of a people-killing gun the military would use… or a company that might have to bring down the occasional polar bear…
I loved how they mocked Drive Shaft…
I think Charlie’s flipping out is either because he’s using again, or he isn’t, and it’s still messing with his head…
In Watership Down, the good rabbits found a warren of rabbits which was being fed by a nearby farmer, who set snares to catch the rabbits… the ones living in the warrens had an air of despair and despondency about them…
For all those people who aren’t happy with how little information we got this episode: It’s like we’re all pushing a button on a box, over and over again, with no knowledge of what the button does or when we’re going to find out… that sounds familiar, somehow… :dubious:
I thought it was a very sweet episode, between Hurley’s story and Rose and her husband. Some thoughts:
I agree that Ana-Lucia is very annoying, but by the end of the episode I felt that the reason she is such a hard ass is that their group is having a much rougher time than our beloved survivors on the other side of the island. I think they are hiding from the Others - that the rest of the 23 were taken away or killed and they need to be super paranoid (hence the code knock on the hatch door before they entered.) Maybe the creature got some of them, but since they are so violent and suspicious of people it makes me think they are having trouble with other people on the island. Her hard approach with Sawyer could even be taken as for his own good, they need to follow orders here if they are going to survive. She has probably seen many people get taken or killed by now.
I thought the backstory on Hurley was good, it shows that he needs to be liked and provided a nice bonding moment for everyone at the end. I think it really wasn’t a bad decision, if there wasn’t much food left it does make sense for everyone to just have a few good meals than to fight over it for weeks. Obviously they have survived this long so there is other food on the island. I like the character backstories, the real show is after all about the characters and I feel like this season is settling in a little. I am satisfied with how much is revealed for the most part. We have really learned a lot in 4 episodes if you think about how much we didn’t know at the end of last season.
Seeing the other hatch makes me think all 6 stations are on the island, not scattered over the world, so maybe there are 4 more yet to be discovered. The tail section must have found the back door to theirs easier than our group.
I think Sun buried the bottle so the rest of the survivors would still have hope that the raft people could still bring rescue. Hopefully Jin’s story will be soon and they will show how he got back to the island before Sawyer and Mike. Looks like my thoughts about Jin being a plant are pretty much out, the writers are doing a good job of screwing with me.
Little spoiler, not a big one about Sayid, as he said on Ellen yesterday:
He said that he and Shannon “would pursue their relationship to its natural conclusion” being that they are a man and a woman and they have to fulfill their needs, and when asked if nudity was involved, he said yes…on his part
I just want to buck the anti-Ana Lucia/Michelle Rodriguez pile-on by proclaiming I personally do NOT find that chick in any way, shape or form annoying, although I question the sanity of those who do.
I thought the blonde chick* in the group that was keeping Jin, et al captive looked a LOT like the chick who threw the molotav cocktail at the raft. But I haven’t checked on it. I’m sure the uber-Lost-geeks will be on this and we’ll all know shortly…
I figured that it would last them about 3 days if they ate 3 meals a day. A week or a few days extra if they ate one meal a day. They could stretch it out longer possibly, but they’d still have to hunt and gather to supplement their food.
That’s my guess. All the food back there was vacuum packed, canned and sealed. I didn’t notice any fresh foods anywhere, and milk for his cereal could easily have come from milk powder (gags only good for baking IMO).
