Lost 3.10: "Tricia Tanaka is Dead"

(Unless it’s something like Sawyer not going down on Kate when they were in the cage. He better apologize for that.)

(And yeah, my dad really did do that a couple of times. Only worked once, though.)

Dude, Your dad doesn’t even know Kate

Has anyone ever found a website that transcribes and translated Jin and Sun’s Korean dialogue? I would love to know what Jin was yelling back at Sun when she was telling him she’ll only speak to him in English.

This is why I watch the show with my Korean-speaking best friend. He was just telling her speak to him in Korean, nothing major.

Why the heck did Dharma transport a VW Microbus to the island in the first place? Wouldn’t something like, oh, say, a Jeep be more practical?

Never mind. I was just hoping Vincent would stick his head out the window when they were driving.

That meteorite didn’t make sense to me. It was small enough to be slowed to subsonic speed, but large enough to still have a fireball. I don’t think there’s a mass that would make that possible, for either a metallic or rocky meteorite. (I don’t suppose Phil Plait is around?) It’s probably stupid to expect real-world science from this particular show, anyway.

The microbus is perfect. Fits the kooky-culty hippie dippy origins of the Dharma Initiative, and resonates with Hurley’s character.

All I know is that when they are finally rescued, 14 years later, there had better be kids…

Claire, Sun and Jin are already on the case.

And who knows? Sawyer may have planted his seed in Kate.

Claire - pregnant before the island, doesnt count.
Sun/Jin - most likely pregnant before the island… barely counts.

Atleast 2 of them paired up after the island, so I suppose that counts for something.

(sheesh… try to make a gilligan reference just to get shot down…)

Will we ever hear Charlie sing “Apeman” by the Kinks?

Why not? She wouldn’t be the mother of her biological child if 815 hadn’t crashed. Her marooning on the island is why she’s raising a baby, is what I mean.

Wow, I get to posit a theory in this thread that nobody else has brought up.

Remember, there’s two parts to Hurley’s curse. Bad things happen to the people around him…but he, individually, has reality-defying luck. Sure, the van was overgrown, been there long enough for Roger Workman to shrivel up, the parts are rusted over, there’s probably no oil or any other fluids…but Hurley put himself in the path of certain death by sending the van straight into the rocks. The curse isn’t going to let him die, so it magicks the car into life.

No, there’s nothing realistic about it, but I thought it was a great episode.
