1st of all- what the fuck? (apologies for the F-bomb) I thought that the point of Lost was to get us an uniterrupted block of shows. And now we have to wait until March 18? What the hell?
9:02- Well there’s the statue.
9:03- Now let’s think about Sawyer for a minute. The last time we saw him, he made a joke and John laughed. It’s the first time that anyone laughed at anyone of Sawyer’s jokes. And now here he is, leading the group.
9:04- Phil: Scared shitless man from Mulholland Drive. Love that movie. Love that movie, but I hate it. This just continues the way that the show continues to populate itself with actors & ideas from all those things that are excellent: Wayne Pygram from (my favorite) Farscape, Mira Furlan (in a large role) from Babylon 5, now “Phil” (whose name I don’t know) from Mulholland Drive. Once this is all over, it will be good to see these guys’ writing process and see what their actual influences were.
9:12- 3 years earlier/ 3 years later are we going to keep flashing back & forth like this through the whole episode?
9:15 Let’s go back to thinking about Sawyer again. With that whole beach episode- wait hold on for just a minute.
9:16 As far as scifi series that address time travel, this one does it nicely- it doesn’t matter what you do; it’s done.
9:17 Okay, now let’s go back to Sawyer & Miles asking “who put him in charge?” just as it was in the past. This is another Stephen King motif- the prisoner (also Kate or Sayid or hell the whole show is really a prison, more on that later), but remember in The Dark Tower Eddie Dean was the prisoner & had the monky on his back, etc. etc. What flashed into my mind here as Sawyer goes from Prisoner (back in the states) to Head of Security, was the Tarot card:
9:21 Damnit. I will have to do the whole mini-essay on the Tarot later. Back to the show.
9:22 I still think that’s Annie. We’ll see.
9:25 No it’s not Annie. It’s Amy. Is the doctor someone we know?
9:28 I didn’t understand that conversation through Jin’s English
