>: 40 THE WHOLE TRUTH

great title, thinking about sun, her doctor, doctor henry gale. so, jin came out acting like his old self, but it was only because he was worried. still, trashed the garden! very undude. i tossed all hope of locke playing gale out the window, he's just getting bitched, henry rocked a long con of his own last night. good thing ana lucia's never wrong twice, i flinched when she said that. ana! funny how she said "let me out" again, not quite as petulant as when eko brought her up out of the hole. enjoyed sawyer and sun's conversation. it's true, judy blume is very predictable and there's not nearly enough sex. that was hilarious, those are totally the standards by which sawyer would judge a book. looking back, i've enjoyed sun and kate's friendship develop over the course of the series, real organic and unforced. kate's there whenever she needs anything, when jin was so pissed she spoke english, when she lost her ring.

good to see rose and bernard in action. i loved that she knew it was saturday and he had no idea. that means it's november 13th or 20th, 2004, incidentally, the latter i think. day 59. it might only be 52 but they usually space some days in between unrelated eps like we've had lately.

hurley and sun catching each other in the jungle was funny.

ana opened up by the fireplace, surprisingly, too bad sayid hasn't forgiven at all, just transferred his anger. it's blinded him. what a great shot of the three of them creeping off into the field to search, the real cliffhanger. can't believe it's ana's desire to do the right thing, make sure before they execute henry, that set them all up to get snagged.

so we've got another bundle of joy on the way, though i guess we won't actually see it unless we do a massive time-jump, the seasons have thus far been only a little longer than a month (we're on-pace for that again, at any rate). her getting pregnant is an argument that they'll make that jump at some point, we've got to have all the others/baby drama surrounding the birth of a new one. and of course it is another island miracle, jin's blanks consecrated into live rounds. nice twist there at the end about jin being responsible. good flashbacks this time, that first scene with sun and the hotel dude made you think she was cheating, then they turn that on its head, only english lessons. liked how we didn't find out the whole truth until jin did, that's how you use that device. then the big garden scene to show the lesson jin's learned. i wish she didn't have to lead him through the hoop but i guess she did. she did an amazing thing with her eyes and face when she hugged him, you could really see the emotions running through her mind, nice bit of technical craft there, i thought.

that bit with jin not understanding sawyer and bernard was great, out of nowhere. yeah, that sucks, man. time to learn some more words, methinks.

then we let henry out for dharma jacks and he lays it all out for them. man, we knew he was bad and crafty, but he played everyone so well. really looking forward to the beginning of next week, surely others are about to swoop down. of course, that's what they want us to think, so maybe not. is there any doubt that henry's an other, though? i mean, the balloon's not there is it, they're going to get snagged. again, expecting them too. we will see.

locke was checking out that geronimo jackson record hurley had that charlie had never heard of 'as an expert in all things musical' back during The Hunting Party. here's their site: http://www.geronimo-jackson.com/. that could almost be the degroots in the picture, this appears to be a fictitious band. formed at U of M, where henry gale allegedly met his wife and the dharma initiative was first formed. even more fun, in the source code for the website, the following key words appear: locke and key records, macna carta, magna carta, not just a number, other man, on my own feet again, down in a hole, smoke and mirrors, other side of the tracks, born again. i bet at least one member of that trio is on the island even as i type this.
meant to google that pregnancy test, was it widemar labs? that yields nothing. if someone remembers the name, shoot it at me.

it's good to get back on the island, though i guess i never really leave. that was episode 16 of the season. eight episodes left. and #42 is the one after next week....
