>: 28 EVERYBODY HATES HUGO

excellent return to form. all issues resolved by self-contained format.

nice first shot of record, thought we were gonna get cass one more time, would have loved it. it's okay, there are other songs. loved hurley's dream, very six ft under. disquieting to have jin speaking english, ominous tidings. 'i know the numbers . . ' poor hurley.

little silly of jack to put hurley in charge of food w/ strict no eating rule, needlessly hard-assed. guess jack's had a tough wk. liked that they showed the front door entrance to the swan/hatch, that was a new one.

hurley's flashbacks were great. dj qualls was perfect foil. loved cluck you. hurley's crush starla is named after my very favorite smashing pumpkins b-side. hard for me to dislike.

enjoyed locke's pep talk w/ loaded gun for emphasis.

ana lucia beating on sawyer got old. what is the system, exactly, with them? don't like her beating on everybody. needs to get pistol-whupped.

sayid's little bit was interesting, wonder if more will come of his exploring. disappointed the noise was kate in the shower, thought we were in for something besides redux of jack/kate flirting.

23 people from the tail. most killed by desmond's bacteria or lord of the flies culling? ana lucia killed the last leader? are they in another station? seems that way. is that big black dude with them, or was he already on the island? seems more african. no bodies in the plane that killed boone, wasn't that from africa, nigeria i wanna say? we know so little about them. don't think they have walt though, there are pirate others and tail others, got to be.

nice to catch our breath this wk, less mythology more character beats, didn't even realize how little we've seen sun and shannon lately until they popped up. and the return of the endoftheday no dialogue killer music campfire montage. forgot how effective it is, every time. 'don't you love these characters? they've made it to the end of another day!' ahhhh. glad everybody doesn't really hate hugo, that would've been a drag.
