>: 30 ABANDONED

what an episode.

sayid is a pimp and for a few minutes it looks like they're going to be all right. but walt shows back up and the end is set in motion. haven't been able to find a link to what he said, if anyone has one, please send it down the chain. flashback again didn't really tell us anything we didn't know or haven't extrapolated but it was of course good to see boone again (last time, i guess, unless locke feels guilty in a few months) even though i think if i'd indulged my winkwink tendencies and written his first line as 'death sucks, huh?' there's no way i would have followed it with shannon 'you came back!' pictured affleck and damon looking at the camera in jay and silent bob, get it? but that's nitpicking.

will be interesting to see how they follow up how horrible the others are. i mean, we saw goodwin but nothing about his body was so shocking, not like he was flayed by predator or anything. so 23 - 3 - 9 - goodwin (unique, i think) = 10. and there's what five of them now? eko ana bernard cindy libby, am i missing anyone? not counting cindy yukyuk. so looks like the people in the tail distracted the others away from the shepherded flock for the first 40 days, would have been all over them otherwise. quick pt on the whispering. i always assumed that was a function of the monster or security system when sayid or sawyer heard the whispering in the first season, folded it in with the Great Unknown of the Jungle, now i'm thinking it's others, those who know the jungle so well. so, they've been aware of our people for a while and messing with them occasionally, just eating people from the tail (or whatever they're doing). sure seemed like it was them doing the whispering when the hiking crew started running for the commercial break at ten till.

just having a thought, in last wk's procession we saw dirty bare legs then pants, alternating the whole time. was that not the full party (as i assumed at the time) but just, say, 4 of them walking with 4 prisoners? makes sense. who are the kids, were they part of the taken 11?

nice development with locke and charlie, 'how bout that?' been wary of that plot veering off into afterschoolspecial land, so far so good.

big fakeout on sawyer, really thought he was going, no they can't do that! would have been ballsy. anything can happen i guess. he's not out of the woods yet. quick, someone spay me.

and the big finish. i was shocked, even though i was expecting for sayid and shannon to come across the others or the hikers, out in the jungle and all, still floored to see ana lucia's smoking gun, what an intense plot development, full integration does not at this time seem likely, what an enemy she has made, maybe the worst possible, that look he was giving, serious. can't imagine how things will go next week, imagine they'll have to be a bit more forthcoming with regard to details than they have been. she's dead, though right? no chance of resuscitation? feel like sayid's expression was meant to convey that. figured she was the only exempt party, if only because of boone. never mind.

so, we've got the pirates who took walt, we've got the others stalking the hikers, and we've got desmond and the dharma initiative personnel. how those exterior forces are related, intertwined is something we don't know.

i don't think it's a good sign that walt is still dripping wet.
