Much to the chagrin of my co-blogger, i was predicting this would be the next death. i liked the character of Eko when we first met him, but over time he gradually lost his appeal and i found myself siding with Locke. When i heard that it was to be another Eko ep and that the previews were saying someone would die... i could tell that TPTB were bringing his storyline full circle. Surprise, surprise, i was right.
Still, i'm lifting my Jesus stick in tribute,
Muchacha de Hurley
- So, when Eko found his brother the first time, he hugged him and asked for forgiveness.
- i wouldn't have confessed to the priest.
- Why does Yemi have a lighter?
- So Sayid got back just in time to put out another fire. And Locke has apparently taken charge.
- What in the heck is Ben wearing?
- So, Jack actually takes off his shirt in this scene... but we still get to see very little.
- Jack didn't have a bag over his head when they brought him outside. They don't even seem to be watching him closely.
- Burning a body with a water burial... is that a Hindu tradition?
- i would think that it was really strange if my priest up and left without telling anyone ahead of time.
- So the black smoke (as i like to call it) shows people other people? People from their past? Can it read anyone's mind?
- Ah, all of a sudden there's a nice stream of water on the way. And the beach has a nice water reservoir. i thought that the entire point of staying at the caves was that it was the only place they could find fresh water? But then there was that swimming pond that Sawyer and Kate used once, and they've never show that again, either. i'd be swimming every day, that's how i'd lose weight!
- Father Yemi was alright with this illegal vaccine stealing set up? i find that very hard to believe. It's like the same day or day after Yemi died.
- So, where'd Eko get the shirt? He hasn't worn one in a lonnnnnggggg time. All he does with shirts is tear off the sleaves.
- The black smoke doesn't want to be seen by more than one person at a time apparently.
- Juliet is such a flirt. And Ben doesn't want them to get close even though he's the one who put her in the room with him.
- Yeah, how were they going to break Jack now? In the amount of time available? With what leverage? Juliet does not remind me of Sarah, she's just another blonde, not a school teacher, a doctor. Why in the world does Ben need Jack to "want" to save him??? Whatever happened to the hyppocratic oath, Jack is obligated to save him. And there is no way Ben believes in God, he's so full of it, he said that "God can't see the Island". i still believe that someone brought the plane down on purpose.
- Why can't Locke say Yemi's name?
- How many vaccines does a small village need? A refugee camp i understand, but there doesn't seem to be many of those. i guess they're for the clinic.
- What exactly is Eko trying to accomplish by putting the vaccines on the market?
- What happened to Yemi's body?
- Why is Locke hanging around outside when coming to the Pearl was his idea?
- Where did Eko have a photo taken with his brother when he was a kid? Why is there blood on the photo?
- So, it's a sin to kill someone in self defense inside a church? i wish i would have known that sooner... (;
- It must be nice to use a toilet after going two months without one.
- Who's the guy with one eye and how did he know that he was being watched? It kinda looked like he was in another dome inside a hatch.
- See, Juliet says she's sorry that they "brought" him here, that Ben was desperate and it was so they could save his life.
- i don't trust Juliet. What, you can't stand up to Ben, you have to murder him? And can't Ben see anything in the window's reflection? i'd be afraid that he'd be able to read all of it.
- So, she's not happy to have the entire vaccine and is boarding her boy up inside. Why is Catholisism all about guilt and making reparations for what sins you've made? Why don't they understand that Jesus already paid for those sins???
- Was Eko building a church because of what that woman said?
- Yemi touched the cross, moved it: was he really there? He called Eko "brother" earlier, why is he now confused by the way Eko treates him?
- i'm not saying that i approve of all that Eko has ever done, but doing the best with what you have been given... what else can a person do? Why does this require Eko to be killed? i'd definitely be afraid of the black smoke, too, though you got to admit that the way that it kills is kinda corny. It would have been awesome if it would have just went inside him or slit him over or something instead of pummeling him against trees.
- It's awesome that Eko is happy with his brother again.

"Every Man for Himself" observations
This ep is full of surprises, isn't it? The funny thing is that even though Sawyer says that it's "Every man for himself" his actions are the complete opposite. He's doing everything to protect Kate. But in the process he's also trying to push her away while at the same time inwardly begging her to love him. Ironic, huh?
skate on,
Muchacha de Hurley
- Jack's comments to Juliet are great: it's the same sort of stuff that Ben used on him and Locke to pit them against each other.
- i'm not sure i really agree with Sawyer's logic on grabbing Pickett, but at least he's trying to come up with something. Perhaps it would have been smarter for him not to announce his plan to Kate before the fact, however. He didn't have to go pushing the button repeatedly to tip them off, either.
- Who knew Sawyer could box? Interesting, he's been in prison for nine months. i wonder how long the trial took?
- So when the warden said that he could "extend" Sawyer's stay he really meant that he could cut it short?
- So who thinks that Ben didn't already know Sawyer's age and approximate weight, too? Doesn't he probably have a file on all the crashees? And who knew he could beat Sawyer up, little guy like him?
- This new guy is a real stuck up jerk. Of course Desmond knows more about golf.
- Sawyer's heartrate goes waaaaaayyyyyy up just looking at Kate's back: how would he ever survive sex? Far too taxing on his old heart, it seems.
- i just about cried when i found out about Clementine and when Sawyer said she wasn't his.
- i would have recognized Jack right away but the alarm was a good idea if you want him to think he's nowhere near his friends. On the other hand, he now knows that he's not underwater, and i think he did hear them anyway.
- i don't think that the woman was alive when Jack came in. i think the heartbeat was simulated. Ben was smiling while Danny went outside to beat up Sawyer. i think that everything that's going on here is manipulative. Everything. "She was dead before you put her on the table."
- Why do they need a fertility doctor on the Island? Juliet could have been born on the Island, but she couldn't have been trained on it.
- This sure is a bad day for Sawyer. But he did get to enjoy Kate's touch for a little while and hear that she loves him. (:
- Kate's a regular monkey. i don't think i could climb out of that cage, but i don't think she was lying when she said that she loves Sawyer, rather she was lying when she said she didn't.
- Who is Jack really here to save??? One of my theories has always been that the entire plane was made to crash on the Island on purpose. Perhaps this is the reason why. Maybe everyone is here just to get one surgeon on the Island: everything happens for a reason.
- Sawyer is obviously really smart even though he never finished school. He always comes up with new nicknames, quotes books. Ben may be better educated, but i'm on Sawyer's side.

"Further Instructions" observations
This episode really doesn't make very much sense to me.
- Why is Locke mute? Or has he chosen silence like Eko? Why in the world is he telling Charlie that he needs to talk to the Island?
- "tail light's out" even though it's daytime?!?
- Charlie's comments about drugs are great. Why should he help Locke after what Locke did to him? And why is so holier than thou when using his own mind-altering drugs? How does Locke know that what he's using isn't addictive or damaging his brain?
- Sun and Jin are fighting as always, but "Sayid's got it." LOL
- Hurley's entering the numbers? Why? He hates the numbers.
- Why does Desmond get the hot chicks? LOL
- Locke curses during his prayers and doesn't close his eyes. Is he a Christian? Why does he now worship the Island??? Who are these people he's hanging out with?
- i love how Hurley's response to everything is "Dude." He almost gets nailed, saved by canteen.
- Yep, the hairspray's for Locke's head!
- So, the bear is chewing on Eko when Locke finds him, but he's fine, he's okay to go hiking the next day.
- Yep, Desmond is the incredible Hulk. Dude, i'd like to see the hatch, what it looks like now. So does Desmond now know what's going to happen before it does?
- Why's Locke supposedly a farmer instead of a hunter??? This doesn't make sense. Why didn't Locke shoot Eddy? Why did he come up with the idea in the first place? i thought that he could keep him in the forest long enough for them to get the marijuana out and then show him a greenhouse full of harmless plants. i also thought that we'd find out that Locke gets shot and that's how he was paralyzed for sure.
- Hurley has deja vu? He saw the speech, too??? Or is he just remembering what Desmond said?
just in case you were wondering,

"The Glass Ballerina"
i meant to post this over a week ago, i've just been so busy. This semester will be over within the month and hopefully i'll be able to start going through season one and writing on my theories about it. For "The Glass Ballerina" i'm posting my observations as i watched the ep for the third time.
i can hardly wait for Feb. 7!
Muchacha de Hurley
- Why was Sun afraid of her father as a child?
- Why is Jin so violent with Sun? Why is he so insistent that they abandon Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, and Michael?
- So, two knocks is the code?
- i still think that Ben and Juliet must have history of some kind.
- Colleen is as hostile as her husband, isn't she?
- "Brian" was waiting for Sayid to show up and they know he's and Iraqui.
- Mr. Friendly is tall.
- So, you kiss your wife in front of your prisoners and they're not supposed to watch?
- Why is Sun apologizing? If she thought it was wrong, she shouldn't have done it. Why does Jin seem to think she shouldn't ever disagree with him?
- i'm mad at Sun because she is in bed with Jae. How mortifying it must be for your father to find out and see you! Why does Jae want her now? He could have had her before, but nooooo....
- What in the world are the Others clearing land to build?
- Sawyer's reaction to Danny's dress comment was classic. Awesome.
- Danny's not dumb: he is smart though, knows is he shocks Kate then he'll get Sawyer's ire up, if he shocks Sawyer he'll get Kate to do what he wants.
- Why does Sun's father insist on Jin doing his dirty work for him? In this instince it makes sense, but he doesn't tell Jin why. What i don't understand is why any man should expect to get exactly what he want all the time and for people to die or suffer when he doesn't get it. And Jin seems to have learned this anger from him. i wish Jin would stop acting like his father-in-law and do what he know is right.
- Yeah, you can see when Sayid is lying about the dock that Jin understands more than he's letting on.
- Sawyer has no shame, does he? He just stares up Kate's skirt.
- So Alex is friends with Karl??? Or is it something more?
- What would Sun know about lying? Quite a lot. She's lied to Jin for a long time about not having an affair.
- See, Sayid is smart, too, he wants to take two hostages: "One to make the other cooperate." Kate can make Jack or Sawyer cooperate, can't she? (So the Others think.)
- Sun has to help Jin take his jacket off just to lay it over a chair? She's nervous about seeing him, now that her father knows.
- Sun apparently still chooses Jin however. She wants to start over with him, she doesn't want to live without him.
- Jin knows how to use a gun?
- What is Juliet flirting with Sawyer? Just trying to apologize? Soften him up? Doesn't she understand that Kate's his girl? Guess she does, cuz she knows who to threaten.
- Jae definitely knows who Jin is. And i honestly don't know if he commited suicide because he discovered that he couldn't be with Sun anymore or ir someone was cleaning up after Jin.
- Once again, the claim that the Others aren't the enemy... Colleen was so certain that Sun wouldn't shoot her, so she comes point blank and makes it worse. Gut shot, slow and painful way to go.
- So, the Others apparently don't know that Sun's pregnant yet. Otherwise i don't think Tom would be shooting at her, even if she did shoot Colleen (which of course he doesn't know yet).
- So, it's unacceptable for Sun to go to the funeral of a man whom was a publically acknowledged friend?
- Sun and Jin obviously love each other.
- Nice of Sayid to apologize, but... they're going to go walking through an unfamilliar jungle in the middle of the night?
- How late do they make Kate and Sawyer work, anyway? He's smart, he feels out the limits, figures out where their weaknesses are.
- So, Ben finally introduces himself to Jack. Ben has a silly name, has lived on the Island his entire life, and Jack is on a hunger strike for some reason. Ben is a manipulative little $#!*, isn't he?
- So, in hindsight... how long was Ben expecting to wait before telling Jack about what he's really there for??? Because i just don't think he had that much time to work with.
i can hardly wait for Feb. 7!

i'm the newbie
Hooray for Skate! Why won't Kate run now? Is she really in love, or is she still a two-timer? Who thought they'd have to tell Kate to run away?
Who else thinks Jack is going to get off the island...only to get to the main one? And why does he want off so badly? What does he have to go home to?
I'm excited about Locke being on a mission again...I was tired of his moping and trying to steal Claire.
Who's the Jacob that made the list? Is it 'He'? And/or the one-eyed man?
Why was no one around when Jack got out of his cell? It seemed kinda planned, to let Jack think he had some control I think...especially because Alex seems to trust Ben, and we trust Alex, right? Which brings us to...who trusts Juliet?
It will be hard to wait until February...

"I Do"
"Jack makes a decision regarding Ben's offer, Kate feels helpless when it looks like an angry Pickett is going to make good on his threat to kill Sawyer, and Locke discovers a hidden message that may guide him through the next steps of his journey to unlocking the secrets of the island."
~ from Lostpedia
Can't wait for tonight! Kate flashbacks and Skater's rejoice!!! Will be hard to wait for February 7th to come around. ):
i have been working on my analysis of this season's eps, but i haven't had the time to polish them and post. We should be getting our Lost text sessions up soon. The blog should be getting a new look soon, too (i'm almost finished with it).
