Well, at this point I’m a LOT more interested in what’s happening in the non-crash timeline. Because what is happening on the Island is a Mr. Cluck’s x-tra large bucket of moldy LOST cliches. I mean seriously? Year six and we’re still getting: “What are you doing?” “I’m gettin’ out of here. Don’t follow me!” “Where are you going?” “I’m following him/her.” “What are you doing here?” “I followed you.” “You shouldn’t have followed me.” “I guess I shouldn’t have followed you.” _one or both parties cries or is shot/kidnapped_ And bad guys! But they’re good! But they’re bad! We don’t know! But they must be bad! But maybe they’re really good! They did something bad! But maybe they THINK they’re good! You just wouldn’t understand! It’s complicated! Just shut up and do this and I’ll tell you everything later…after we beat you senseless and then tell you we had no choice, and then we won’t tell you anyway… On the other hand, in L.A.?

I wonder what CTV (Canadian Broadcaster of Lost) is gonna do with the Olympics taking over their schedule. Are Canadians supposed to watch Lost on ABC? Too bad Mac and BLT died by Claire.

You’re concerned that if someone’s shot, or even dies, they can’t show up next week? Where have you been? On The Island, you can get chopped up in bite-size morsels and set on fire and turned into a newt and you just know you’ll pop up two episodes later… “I got better”. ---
