Blogging while watching LOST: “Tricia Tanaka is Dead”
Without knowing whose flashback this was supposed to be, I had initially thought that the skinny kid was going to be a young Paolo. Then Cheech Marin started talking and called him Hugo, and it hit me that this was the young Hurley. Poor Hurley. He started eating when his dad left and gave him a candy bar - even though his mom didn’t want him to have them. Kinda sad.
But even sadder? When I realized current-day Hurley was talking to Libby’s grave. My husband said it about five seconds before Hurley did. I actually had tears in my eyes and had to stop myself from crying.
Hurley had said that a meteor hit Mr. Cluck’s Chicken Shack. Now we know that it hit the Chicken Shack with the reporter Tricia Tanaka inside it. And that’s where the episode title came from, so let’s move on.
The Mystery Machine is in the middle of the jungle on the LOST island. Or, as my husband prefers to call it, a shaggin’ wagon. Or as Sawyer called it, a hippie car.
I know it’s horrible, but I laughed both when the meteor hit Mr. Cluck’s and when poor Roger the DHARMA work man’s skeletal head popped off when Hurley and Jin were trying to remove him from the van.
Vincent! The dog’s had the run of the island for a while, and we hadn’t seen much of him until tonight.
Was Sawyer’s “Munchkin” nickname for Charlie an allusion to his prior status of hobbit? I like to think so. Of course, I’m re-reading Wicked
Is it just me, or does Kate seem completely different? She was trying to make nice with Sawyer, calling him James and asking for him to apologize - she seemed about five years younger. Even when she reverted to not forgiving Sawyer for his obnoxiousness, she still seemed younger. Maybe I’m the only one to notice. Evangeline Lilly is around my age, though a little bit younger - but Kate has always seemed to be older than me, in my eyes. But not tonight. Tonight she does seem younger. I can’t quite put my finger on why.
Literally laughing out loud at Sawyer’s three things a woman needs to hear from Jin’s English lesson. I’m sorry. You were right. Those pants don’t make you look fat. Although I don’t think Sun really has to worry about looking fat in her pants. Aside from already having a gorgeous figure, pregnancy exempts you from worrying about looking fat. I know I never felt better about the way my body looked than when I was pregnant.
The boys took a joyride in the van. Way to go Hurley for breaking the curse. Way to go Charlie for cheating death. Although I’m sure the masses hated this episode because nothing really happened except for Hurley doing donuts in the grass, I liked it.
And I am so happy that Kate told Danielle about Alex. Will we have a reunion in the next few weeks? Please? Exciting things are afoot!
