Heh – that puts things in perspective for Sawyer. He’s ranting and raving again about his “stuff”, and Hurley’s first words… “Dude, you’re alive!!!”
This is the second time Sawyer has come back and ranted about his stash. He needs to just keep his stash with him or not leave his tent.
“Snuffy” is now in the lead for best Sawyer nickname.
Kate’s getting help. Locke: “Help from who?”
I’m guessing Danielle.
Hugo’s parents living it up, living the good life, with butlers and hamburgers.
HA!
“What’s a head doing back here?”
“Oh! That’s just Roger…”
“Even if you were speaking English, I wouldn’t understand you.”
Some good Hurley lines tonight.
And Sawyer’s drinking flat stinky beer.
Tarot card chick telling Hurley to get naked… Hahahaha!
“$10,000.”
“Your dad put me up to it.”
Ha – Sawyer teaching Jin some useful English. 
and Sawyer brings back a case of old stinky beer for his stash?
Bad beer better than no beer.
ZZZzzz…
I’m nowhere near as enamored by these little “stories” about the past lives of these characters as the writers think I am.
Why not drive the Dharmawagon to see where Jack’s father is hanging out. Remember, Jack’s dead father? Who was up and walking around during George W.'s first term?
I think they are going to need some sort of public works project to get enough path plowed to get that van out of the valley.
I liked this ep just fine- some backflash, some bonding, some plot, shit that made me laugh. Covering GoldyChrist’s ears before the sex talk. Blowing up a chicken restaurant. All good shit.
Canadian preview spoiler Commander’s Tigh’s Little House on the Island! What are we calling the patch guy, anyhow?
<Nacho>That was the best!</Nacho>
Next step will be to paint “Mystery Machine” on the van, round up a few more Lostaways to ride in it (and Vincent the dog). Then they can find out who the Smoke Monster really is! (“Old Man Withers?!!!”)
I don’t care if it didn’t advance the plot. It was entertaining and I loved it.
Complete filler.
Yet fun.
When I first saw Tricia Tanaka, I thought “She looks like Sung Hi Lee.”
And she <a href=“Lee Sung Hi - IMDb”>was</a> Sung Hi Lee!
I’m glad to see her getting high-profile work like this.
I liked it. It was a really nice break from the Jack/Ben/Juliet and Sawyer/Kate storylines that they’ve been stretching out for too long.
But maybe I’m in the minority because I always like the flashback episodes. This ep and the Desmond episode are probably my favorites so far this season.
I used to have a dog named Snuffy. 
But I got a bigger kick out of Sawyer calling Hurley “Jumbotron.”
And his nicknames for Charlie were pretty good, too: **Oliver Twist ** and Jiminy Cricket.
I loved it. That is all.
But Jorge is getting seriously big. Something needs to be done.
My only thought process was along the lines of:
Two Asian hotties in one episode!!!
Okay, two questions.
Asian Reporter Tricia Takana kept calling Hurley “Hugo Ray-ez”, but I thought in earlier episodes, he pronounced it “Rise”. 
Years ago, friends of mine got horribly ill from drinking beer that just hadn’t been fridged at a low enough temperature, forget fermenting in the jungle since 1978. Why didn’t Sawyer puke up his toenails?
It’s Dharma Beer! If they can make ranch dressing last 7 years without refrigeration just think what else they could do.
There’s no reason for Hurley to pronounce his last name as “Rise” since it’s spelled “Reyes”. Tricia Tanaka pronounced it more or less correctly.
I remember when the actor playing Hurley’s father was just Cheech Marin and his surname was pronounced “merr-inn”. Now he pronounces it “mah-REEN”
This was the first episode I actually stopped watching. Ikept it on in the background while I did something else, because it was boring me to tears.
Plus the whole van thing was ridiculous. I can’t imagine anyone would push an occupied, broken-down van down a steep hillside towards FREAKIN’ HUGE BOULDERS!
And the editing during that scene was even worse! That van was easily moving 30+mph and was no more than a few seconds from the rocks, yet after a minute of screen time, the engine is jump-started, and the van instantly slows down to what seemed like a 3rd of the speed and they safely steered clear without tipping the damn thing.
Ridiculous.
