Mmmmmmmmkay then.

Someone want to help me out with the alleged "three things you need to know which will be revealed on this week's Lost," hmmm?

Here's what I've got:

1. Jack likes toothpicks in his sammiches.

2. That kid really does look like Bobby from the Brady Bunch, which apparently Benry won't let the kids watch on TVLand. (I know, "that kid" does have a name. Surprise, surprise, it's Karl with a K. High Marx for originality there, Abrams. Sheesh, is there anyone ELSE from Isaac Kramnick's Gov 161 reading list you're gonna inject into this cast, and if it's Sawyer going gay on Desmond at a makeshift Plato's Retreat, tell me now so I can pay my check and leave.)

3. Apparently, though, Karl and Rousseau's kid did get to watch Fievel in the original American Tale movie, since the final scene was a blatant ripoff of "Somewhere Out There."

Coming next week: "the episode which, if you miss it, you'll miss out on what everyone else will be talking about." Yeahrightshur, as if they're gonna understand it any better.

Jack also likes grilled sammitches!

Wait... That's Ben's kid. I never made the connection that it was Rousseau's kid as well, which must mean. OH, EW.

Lost sheep or even Ew(e)s

I didn't think it was actually Benry's kid. Just that since Alex was taken as a baby she grew up believing Ben was her dad. We may never know, though. Except that finally crazy Rousseau and Kate are going to hunt 'em down. ~.~ /random commenter

Hee. Well we know Desmond is Hume. We have Rousseau, Locke..who am I missing? Oh, Edmund Burke, Juliet's ex-husband.

I'll admit I was terribly excited when I first made the connection between Rousseau, Locke, and their namesakes, and thought it actually meant something considering the show started out, thematically, about the formation of societies. Now it just seems like philosophical name dropping and I'm starting to get the feeling it doesn't mean a thing. Which is fine, if Cuse and pals like to bestow clever names on their characters the way one might name one's pet, but the implication has always been that everything means something on that show. Lately, I'm doubtful, although I thought Desmond's episode was really excellent. This last one, crap.

FYI, Abrams is off the gig. He passed it on to Cuse and Lindelhof when he started working on Mission Impossible III and now he's doing the new Star Trek movie.

I also thought this week's episode was just WEAK. If you ever peruse the 'Lost' message boards on ABC's site, there are people out there who condemn every episode as "the worst one EVER!", so I cringe at hearing myself say this. But, I just gotta. I got NOTHING from Wednesday's show other than a twinge of excitement at seeing Jack rolling around in the sack.

I also was riveted in the previous seasons because of all the name connections, literary references, etc. It led me to believe there would be something really impressive behind it all. Now I get the impression that Cuse & Co. are sitting back having a good laugh because they're making it all up as they go along!

Have never watched it. Perhaps it is in conflict with my WWE shows?

amen

that's what I was thinking this episode. Who really cares where Jack's tatts are from anyway? ~.~ give me more Desmond episodes. That one is my favorite thus far. Crazy time travel alternate realities possibilities with the creepy woman from The Others (ironic, eh?).
