>: 42! Dave
so. hurley is much crazier than we've ever given him credit for being. two people died when he stepped onto a raft built for 8 holding 23 people. and he has an imaginary friend who compels him to eat. the rations drop was nicely timed with his renouncement of his stash. couldn't believe it when he hulked out on sawyer, that was really funny. jin's face said it all, so bemused. hurley is having serious issues.
and eko is building something. and has been for a while, now that you mention it. funny the way he said to charlie, 'not right now'. surely an altar, right? or a great big crucifix. it's FOR the island, not a means for escaping it, i think.
man, we almost had henry talking but sayid couldn't quite reel the fish in. we did confirm that zeke is far from the island patriarch, as we've suspected since hearing him and ethan talking in the Staff a few weeks ago. man, we are due for some more answers. further analysis of last week's map indicates that there seemed to be a fallout between the hanso group DI people and the degroot-led scientists in the early 80s, dharma abandoned the Staff in '81 and there was that AH/MDG incident in '85.
henry, on the other hand, still has his fish well hooked on the line. set aside the possibility that he's innocent. what is his motivation for telling locke it's all bunk? if he's telling the truth about that, is it to shake him, get him so out of alignment with the hatch and his fellow castaways that he'll pull a jailbreak? i can't see any other reason. but, what if he's lying? (which is what we're charged to expect, by now) what are his motivations in popping back there, entering the secret code, showing locke the map, and then denying taking any action? wouldn't it be in his best interest to keep locke pushing that button, no matter what? it's a huge blow to the button being anything but a skinner trigger, but i'm not buying it! it's too easy. bad things WILL happen.
and dave almost convinced hurley to take the abre los ojos plunge, tried to pull the same broken reality trick, even. that would've been a hell of a way to end the episode, him jumping, glad we weren't left with hurley falling off a cliff all week. dave certainly did raise some interesting points about how everything seems to be geared toward hurley. that's the trick of this show, seeing how they'll explain all the synchronicities they've set up. and the contract, to me, seems to be that they won't cheat us. yeah, if it's all hurley's dream, or they're part of some government-based shared virtual reality, or oblivious ghosts (a la that season of DALLAS, THE MATRIX/ABRE LOS OJOS, and THE SIXTH SENSE), that's cheap, we've already seen that. it's got to be something new. i was concerned when dave started talking that way, don't DON'T want to end with hurley waking up in the asylum, dave grinning at him. just glad not to get that, really. also, fun how it ran so long, TO 9:04 without any recap, really feel like we're getting the most bang possible.
ending on libby in the asylum wasn't crazy enough for me, we've thought she was either an inmate or an other for a while now. i enjoyed this episode but it being number 42, and coming off that map last week, i kind of needed my living room to melt around me.
did find another character off that map, though. enzo valenzetti. a numerologist who might've dabbled in life extension. watch his googlehits grow, he was just at 1 last week.
keep believing, island faithful.
