Live Blog: "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

Oy, almost missed it because I was so excited about No Doubt playing at Mandalay Bay and figuring that out....

• Ajeera passenger seems to be in a Dharma station, or something of the sort. He found the map or maps of the island, along with a shotgun
• Ah, so they call him Caesar. And she's Ilana.
• Nothing useful. I see what these kind of people are - LIARS - just like the rest of them. He's a BIG liar. Flashlight instead of a shotgun. Hahaha
• So they found a man wearing a suit - this would be John Locke, lady and gentleman.
• There are several people now. I suppose all survivors of Flight 316.
• Stupid ABC had to give away that John Locke was going to be in this episode. So what should have been an AHA!!!! moment - was sadly weh-weh disappointing.

• Wait, so there were three boats that were already there? Weird.
• Aha - so Walt is in this.
  
• Haha, guess. He will tell her the truth (did it already). She either knows that already, or doesn't believe a word he says.
• And flashback time! We get to see what happens to him, hopefully. This better not be one cocktease of an episode.
• So John is awake - in Tunisia, I bet!!!! And still with a broken leg.
• Yup, Tunisia. Ah, nothing like barfing after a strange time warp trip to Tunisia. With a camera on you. And strange wiring all over. He's no longer on the island, so he can't do much of anything, I suppose.
• Poor John, suffering a broken and probably paralyzed leg. Probably not totally paralyzed because he can feel the pain.
• This must be scary for him - random weirdos picking him up in the middle of the night. Because he's a secret. A big secret.
• Pills... pain? Poison? Passout drugs?
• OH! Scary guy from Fringe and last season.
• I hate when they make people bite down on something for pain. Oh got, they are going to - AAAACCCCHHHHHH...
• That. Was. Gross.
• Awake. With scary guy from Fringe. Wait, no. That's Widmore. I don't believe that John knows Mr. W. Or just W. Like the former Prez.
• OH right. He met him back in Alpert's camp.
• The Exit. Aha.
• Uh, yes. You DID come to bring them back. W knows.
• This must be a bit of shock for John.
• Hm. This... war... that W talks about.... Is Ben the opposition? Must be.... so why does Ben help them? Hm.

• Haha, they explain the Bentham thing. heeeeee.
• W has a point with the hasn't tried to kill Locke thing.
• Hunh... W won't let Locke die. Right.
• Abbadon, that's right. That's his name.
• Why does it seem like Abbadon is driving Locke to his death? He's so freakin freaky.
• Santo Domingo... ? Why there, Locke? Well, I should just be patient, eh?
• Ah, so Sayid is doing like a Habitat for Humanity thing in the DR? I GUESSSSSS.
• Sayid has a great point - he got to live with Nadia because he left the island. You can't argue with that JL.
• NYC. Is this where Walt comes in? Probably.
• Poor JL wants to find Helen again. Boo.
• Ha! I love how they address Walt's crazy growth too!
• Holy shizzzz... a little "awwwww" at the meeting of John and Walt.
• Damn, Walt has good dreams. Like good prescient dreams.
• Poor Walt - he doesn't know that his Dad is dead. And JL - I hope he doesn't have the heart to ask Walt back.
• I bet that ONE is Jack. The one he has to convince.
• Oh shizzy - BEN. With a look of eeeviiil.

Stupid internet here at the hotel is crap again. Man. Bah. Wah. Boo. Ack, just realized that the week of Mar 8 I will not get to truly liveblog. It will be more like lateblog. But I will stay up all night if I have to in order to watch the epi and post!!!!

• Ah, good old Santa Rosa. Home of the crazy people. And yet, it still looks like Hawaii. Just like everywhere else he has been.
• Haha, Hurley thinks JL is dead. That's awesome.
• And he just drops that bit o' kernel on Hurley? I mean, get a segue, yeah?
• Haha, Hurley was all freaked at Abbadon.
• I like how they are explaining a lot, revisiting past moments in this episode. It's like "In case you forgot all the crap that has happened, let us remind you."
• Oh, I would lurrrrv to hear what Abbadon would say.
• OH YEAH!!!! Holy shit, I didn't remember that Abbadon did all those things - the orderly, the Walkabout, the plane.... again. Thank you, writers for reminding me. Because it sure is a lot of information.
• JL needs a lot more finesse. He is not smooth like Ben with the whole manipulation thing.
• Aw..... JL is sharing. Sharing is caring. tell KayKay about Helen, there.
• I'm really loving this epi.
• Oh, snap! Wait - was that an insult, or a compliment. I mean, he's not so much angry as he is obsessed.
• Yeah, Abbadon is lying. Clearly. Because John doesn't need to get to her. Apparently.
• Oh. Well. She dead. Poor woman. I guess they couldn't bring Katie Sagal back? Or, well, it makes it a bit more interesting that she's dead I guess.
• Paths. I think it's safe to say that fate plays a big role on LOST, right? ;-)
• OH SHIZZZZ!!!! Ben is killing Abbadon!!!!!!!!
• All that, and it is still not how JL dies.

Yay. Internet normal again. For now.

• Tell me he isn't paralyzed AGAIN.
• Aha. Jack. John just happened to be brought into his hospital. And Jack is the one who will least believe him. Yet, becomes the one who will most believe him.
• Geeze Jack - he is already on the drugs. Wait - how did JL figure out - oh haha, process of elimination, obviously.
• This weird shadowy scene.... it's just odd.
  
• And here's where, in the preview, you see Ben making John hang himself.
  
• I wonder if John just decides to do this suicide thing on his own. I wonder if he recorded anything on that tape recorder, and if so, what?
• And will we ever hear it? He must've. And I bet Ben has it.
  
• Ok, so it IS John's idea, clearly, to commit suicide. For the greater good, right? Weird.
  
• Can you really hang yourself with an extension cord?
  
• God, Terry O'Quinn, how I have missed you.
  
• Oy. Benjamin Liar. Well, sometimes he tells the truth. But just to tell another lie.
  
• Geeze, who the hell to believe? That is a question we won't soon find out.
  
• So, Ben is doing this as a form of reverse psychology...?
• Does Ben just kill him himself? He probably does.
  
• Ha! John might have promised, but Ben didn't. Ben can bring Sun back. Oy, but Ben is going to have John killed. Or just do it himself. Like right now.
  
• Hm. Why does that name ring a bell for - I KNEW IT!!!!
• WTF. I guess John wasn't supposed to kill himself? He had to die another way? Ben sure has a lot of blood on his hands.
  

So, Ben needed to know how to get back - that's why he wouldn't let John die. But as soon as he figured it out... well, then it was fair game. John go bye-bye.

Gosh, for a minute, the internet hated me again. Maybe I shouldn't be so angry at it. I should love the internet connection here, caress it with kind words... "O, lovely internet connection. Please do your best to ensure that this blog stays as live as possible and doesn't get mistakenly deleted because the page doesn't load. Thank you."

• Oh yeah, Ben... clean up that huge mess you made. And make it look like John did what he intended to do. Greater good, right?
• Nasty boy! Taking Jin's ring to convince Sun. Well, it worked, but still.
• God, Ben is crazy.
  
• So Caesar is looking at the Dharma files then, eh?
• Is John corp- well yeah, he's corporeal - he was eating that mango.
• Aha, so that's why the plane isn't with the others. They must've ended up in different times.
• Oh, did Ben get hurt? Is Ben one of the hurt?!?!?!?! He must be!!!!!
• LOVE IT!!!! "He's the man who killed me."

Wow... that preview... awesome!!! "Is three years long enough to get over someone?"

Well, I don't know if this episode was just OBVIOUS, but I feel like I was a bit of a smarty watching it, which of course makes me really love it :-) And any episode with a scene between Terry and Michael - well, genius doesn't cut it. It's so great to have Terry O back. It's really a great thing!

Can't wait until next week! I wonder if it's Char that has the sack on her head. Who else would it be?

Liveblog: "316"

Ahhhh! I'm a little behind. Watching at the sis' place...

• Previously: Everyone's all confused, pissed off... poor sun loses her hubby, or does he?
• Again?! Season 1! Jack, my love.... hehehe
• Is this a dream Jack is having? Is this him back on the island?It's a dream... or he's back..... which one?
• What the.... what was written... that's Hurley's voice... this has to be a dream.
• WTF, yeah right..... why does Hurley have a guitar? That looked like fun, jumping in like that.
• Jack looks so old now. What is Foxy doing to himself?
• Who's that.... oh. Kate? This is quite confusing. She looks pretty dead.
• But apparently she's not. They're BACK? Yeah, what DID happen?
• 46 Hours.... almost two days.... so that's real, then? "Oh my god, gnarly." was Jasmine's reaction.
• Uh.... Desmond's not leaving baby Charlie and Penny and going back, right? That would be STUPID.
• WHOA.
  
• That weird pendulum thing... what the?
  
• The Lamppost... I miss Lamppost pizza...

Well, that map thingy was kinda crazy. And Dharma was in LA? Hm.... I'm just stunned that we actually saw them BACK on the island. So soon! It's too much, too much. I don't know if we're used to all this information just being handed to us. How can it be?

Oh, and what is 316? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, but still...

• Liar. Ben knew about it. He's lying. I like how Eloise knows he's lying too. hehehe
• This is getting so sci-fi...
• GOING to be? yeah, good question, Jack.
• Eloise knows so much. And she's so presentational. It's like she's telling a bedtime story... she's so captivating... and chilling at the same time.
  
• Smart, Desmond. He's not on the whole island return trip.
• Des has every right to be pissed at Ellie. I hope he can stay with baby Charlie and Pen. Yeah! Desmond's DONE with the island!
• And Vengeance Sun is gone. She's so calm right now... what happened to all her anger and doubt?
• This is going too fast, too fast!
• Ajeera airways! That's the airline that was mentioned in an earlier episode.
  
• Oh... it's not all... for Jack?

Ok, really, I do feel like there is so much coming at us... Like, why is everyone just going along with what White Haired Mother Time Ellie is spitting at them? Sun is all calm, Jack is all faith, Ben is all quiet.... Only Desmond seems to be thinking straight. I will be disappointed if everything just plays out boringly...
I think riu.com is fake.... Oh, I could've sworn the riu commercial was a fakey.

• Oh my, she's telling Jack something.... oh, because Christian is his father! Oh, is that note from his ... oh, it's from Locke. WHAT.
• I can't believe Locke hung himself... is it hanged himself?
• John is a substitute for Christian!!!!!! That's cra-zay!!!
• Why does Eloise know all this stuff? HOW does she know all this stuff?
• I feel like this is not a very well-written episode... I hope I am not disappointed completely.
  
• And what IS with Ben's black hair? Why all of a sudden now?
• Jack is asking all the questions I have. Thank you... why is she helping, how does she know all this.
• Hmmm.... wonder what Ben's loose end could be....
• Drunk, high, Foxy/Jack is still sexy.
• Who is THIS guy????
  
• Old Man Ray... seriously... who the hell is this dude.
  
• His grandfather... That's weird.
  
• I'm sad Jate is not together anymore.
  
• Isn't his granddad a little too young?
  
• Fate. Christian's shoes! Hurrah!!! Jack can put them on Locke.
• Oh, it makes sense that this would be his mom's dad. Jack's mom is a MILF... well not for ME, but for dudes I'm sure.
  
• Who lurks in Jacks apartment? Hurley? Sayid? One of those.
  
• And... it's... uh..... Kate?
• Where's Aaron? Is she drunk? What the hell? WHAT THE HELL? What happened to Aaron, did she kill him or something?
• Oh, hot kissing, hot angry drunk kissing.

This whole "Don't ever ask me that question" thing is quite mysterious. Someone either took him, or she left him with someone. We better freakin' find out someday. I'm sure we will, but I mean, I hope it doesn't take all freakin' season to.

• Ah, the morning after.
  
• Oh yeah, Christian wears tennis shoes, doesn't he?
• Whoa.... Ben is ALL beat up! What the heck happened to him?
  
• Jill. Jack and Jill. Haha.
  
• Meat lockers are kinda scary. But this is sci-fi, not horror, remember?
• De coffin. To go on de plane, de plane.
• Weird.... what if the shoes don't fit? What if Locke has bigger feet than Christian? We shall see.... oh - good fit.
  
• That is SO weird. SO weird.
  
• I'm laughing my ass off that Jack's actually doing this. Hahahahahahaha.
• Wait, but what does the letter say? Read it, bitch! I want to know!!!

I can't believe he didn't read the letter! I want to know what it said!!!

• Aw, he's happy that Kate's at the airport....
  
• That guy is not mysterious AT ALL. Wishing John condolences... ha!
• And there is Sun. She's softened quite a bit. Whoa!!!
  
• Sayid is with the lady from New Amsterdam...
• Hugo bought all the seats. He's trying to recreate it, and save people. I wonder how Hurley and Sayid ended up there. I guess that's why Hurley has the guitar. Maybe dead Charlie told him to go back. I wonder how he got out of jail, too...
• Oh right, they said that they saw the guy injured before Hurley go there.
• Oh, and Sayid is with that escort because Kate was with that guy who had her in handcuffs.
• Obviously, Jack is supposed to read that letter, otherwise, it wouldn't have come back to him.
  
• I wonder if Sayid really is a fugitive, or if some crazy just decided to go along with it.
  
• This is NUTS! I can't believe they are all there! I wonder what's going to happen - the crash... crazy!!!!!
• At least they all get to fly first class... That's not much of a recreation.
• FRANK LAPIDIS! He's the captain! HOLY MOLY.
• Whoa he looks diff!
  
• And Frank realizes that they are all on the plane..... oh man. This is not good for Frank. "We're not going to Guam, are we."

• "My mother taught me." Ben is awesome.
  
• "You're the one who got to stay after school with Ms. Hawking." hahaha. Again. Ben. Awesome.
• Just realized that none of the other Lostees have been shown.
  
• John DOES need you to read it, Jack. I need you to read it.
• I still want to know who the hell kicked Ben's ass. It can't be as simple as him trying to get Sayid and Hurley to go...
• And he's reading the letter. That's all it said?!
• Uh. Oh....
• I like how Hurley puts on the sleep mask.
• Whoa.... this is weird......
  
• And they are back. We are back where we started.... Hurley can't swim? Why didn't I think of that before?
• How are none of them bleeding?
  
• Where IS the plane? Gosh, I"m just repeating it all....
  
• So, there was no crash? What the helllll.... they are not in current time....
• Who's shooting at them
  
• It's faraday... it's JIN!!!!!!!! Holy moly!!!

Ok, so it wasn't the best written episode, but it delivered some goods. And uh, the preview looks AWESOME!!!! John Lock is alive!!!! And Ben definitely knew he hung himself, and lied to Jack about it! Cra-zay!!!!

Man, ok. Well, hanging with the sis, so this is short. But wow, I'm satisfied. Thank you.

Live Blog: "This Place is Death"

FOREWORD:
So.... this is what I was able to eke out last night as I watched what appeared to be a pretty damn awesome episode. Please forgive me, for the cable went out here in Troy, OH, due to extremely high winds. Bah.

BEGIN LIVEBLOG...

Ohhhh man.... bad internet connection again tonight. Which means that this is going to be less of a live blog, and more of a whenever I can get connected blog.

So be it. I'm really blogging live, as usual, which means that I am typing as I am trying to watch and pay strict attention to the best show on television.

And here it goes:

• Previously, on Lost: Sun is icky, Ginger falls apart, Locke is on a mission, Rousseau finds Jin in the 80's
• And now, on lost, we see Ji Yeon on Sun's cell phone. Her Mom is calling so Little JiJi can say hello.
• It's really hard to liveblog and read subtitles, but I caught that she said "Anyang" which totally reminds me of Arrested Development.
• "Because he's not your son, Kate." Ben is so funny sometimes.
• And now Sun is all revenge-o on Ben. And everyone thinks Ben is lying, because how could Jin POSSIBLY be alive, and how could he actually prove it?
• Well, the alive part is certainly true. And here's where we get to see when Rousseau records her message.
• Oh look! She's prego! And Jin is totally speaking all English like. He knows how to ask what year it is.
• Ha! Subtitles. They are so foreshadowy. Helicopter, submarine...
• Jin's English is not quite broken enough. But poor DDK, it mus be hard to speak broken English when you speak perfect English.
• Some time, Jin is going to disappear from them, and things will get really weird.
• and now, they go to the radio tower. And ruh-roh... Dani's having baby pains, and they are arguing over whether Alex is a boy or girl.
• Nadine has disappeared.... which means, she may be an Early Other. Or maybe gets the crazy sickness that Danielle kept going on about in present day.
• Oh, Smoky's coming. Smoky the Monster. It would've been funny if Jin just said, "Smoky."

Sucky internet connection. Still can't upload during commercial break. Oh well. So far, so good. I want to know how Ben's going to get out of being annihilated by Vengeance Sun. I also wonder if the O6 will ever leave Slip 23 of the Long Beach marina. Something tells me it will not be in this episode that that will happen.

• Back on the island. The French want to find Nadine, and they won't listen to some Korean guy about it being a bad, bad idea. They will see her hanging in pieces from the trees. Or something.
• How about just dropped from the sky? That works too. Smoky bad. Jin smart.
• Lets see, Blondie's gonna get it too. Obviously.
• And they STILL follow him. Why?!?!?! Ripped in half? I wonder what's down there. Ripped. In. Half. Or, just his arm. That was GROSS.
• Listen to the Korean. He's smart. Dani has to have little Alex. She has to.
• Oh, Jin's going to travel now. Poor Jin. All alone.
• Well, clearly, time has passed, since the arm is all skeletal now. This is like Castaway for DDK. Where's his little Wilson?
• Amazing ow conscious Jin is without having had food or water for days. Maybe it's only been a day.
• This is not too far in the future because the French camp is still there. And dead, apparently.
• Gratuitous ab shot from DDK.
• So Dani is now crazy, or is Robert crazy?
• So, Robert is kinda whack.
• Good thing time travel happens fast for Jinny Jin Jin.
• Oy vey. At least it's just Sawyer. Awwww.... I want to cry. Jinnny and James together again.

• So Gin is outing Charlotte. And Charlotte is telling the truth.
• Ah, back in present present day. As much as I dislike Vengeance Sun, I like that Yunjin Kim gets to flex some chops.
• Well, this all worked out well, didn't it. That clock is tick tick ticking away. But I think that Ben isn't that worried about getting everyone back to kumbaya state again.
• See, Sun bought it. And I'm sure it will be worth it.
• Carh don't look so good. Danny Boy is a little surprised that she speaks Korean. He must be a little confused. Well, he's a lot confused. And Char's a lot icky.
• SHIT. Now Sawyer's bleeding?
• Ah, there's the title.

Spending my commercial break trying to get the internet working so I can post. Freakin' A. Not happenin'. Even though this is one long break. Eesh.

• Dude, Ben, you should know how traffic is in the LA area.
• Geeze, Ben is a moody bitch, eh?
• And now Char is not making any sense.
• Jeronimo Jackson. Hahaha.
• Well isn't Dan the little hero.
• Listen to Char, she knows what she's saying, somehow.
• So, Locke is the only one who hasn't fallen victim to the nosebleeds. Locke and Daniel.
• Locke found the well, I guess. What the heckers?
• How DID she know? We need to know why she has.... oh, is she telling him? Oh, this makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize this was going to happen now. Is her mom the Time Keeper? Oh, shit, they are bother and sister. Wait, are they?
• So, she was told she was going to die. OH SHIT. OH SHIT. Daniel told her?!?!

And again with the lame internet. Well, the winds ARE insane ---- NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cable went out!!!!
It is a sad, sad day for me. I cannot believe what a disappointment!

CONTINUED!!!!!!

Thank GOD for ABC.com!!!
• Hahah, subway. I love Sawyer.
• Again, Jin is the smart one. Ah, crimony... buffer...
• He doesn't want Sun to come back, but Locke is lying when he makes that promise.
• What a hero, that Jin... awwww.....
• Are you telling me that John Locke leaves for three years? Is it three years on the island? I bet they don't figure this out quite yet.
• He's gonna get some nasty rope burn, that John Locke...
• Uh oh is right... He's going to time travel on the rope?!?!?!
• HOLY MOFO!!!!! There's NOTHING there!!!!! How did I not see THAT coming?
• Oh CharChar, stay alive. Long enough for us to know what's going on at least.
• Ok, she's a little bit loopy. Oh shizzy. Is this the END?
• Aaaaaannnnd..... scene.

• What did he break?! OH SHIT!!!! His bone is sticking OUT!!!! This episode is sick. Bones bones everywhere!!!
• Who is THAT?!
• WHAT?!?!?! Christian Shepard!!!!! Fuckin' A!!!!! This episode rocks my fucking socks.
• Oh, snap. Chrissy is right. When DID listening to Ben get anyone anywhere?
• Eloise Hawking.... Not White Haired Time Keeper.
• Christian scary. John brave.
• Ha. Little push. Ha. Like, ALL. YOUR. MIGHT.
• He can't help John because he's not corporeal.
• Crazy green light. Does that mean GO?
• Push. Not Pull!!!!
• John doesn't know that Jack is his son!!!! Fucking NUTS!
• Present present day. Canton-Ranier... that's an anagram for something, but I forgot what.
• Go, Sun. Even if Jin didn't want you to... Atta girl.
• OH! Desmond! Fuckin' A. This just keeps getting better!!!
• Ben didn't know she was Faraday's mum... Interesting.
• They made it seem like it wansn't going to be White Hair.
• Desmond is surprised.
• Started with WHAT?!

MAN!!!!

This was an AWESOME episode! Lots of revelations, and of course, even more questions. That's what we want. Not some predictable schmaltz like last week. I am too inebriated to really comment any more about it other than I loved it.

"The Little Prince" Live Blog!!!

Hello, kittens!

Just finishing up the repeat broadcast of last week's superfantastic episode, "Jughead." It's right near the end, and Char is about to keel over and... die? Chances are, not. Who knows if we'll find out tonight, but I know she won't, based on her interview on Watch With Kristin.

Oh!!! Starting! Yay!!!

• Previously on Lost... Lemme guess - this episode will involve Aaron somehow. Either way, it better make me happy :-) I think it will. Jack's in it.
• Desny? No... Jack, and Kate. It must be when they were rescued. OH, they're deciding what to do about Aaron... Nice.
• Awww... "Sawyer's not dead." "I know, but he's gone."
• Thus the big lie begins.
• "I have always been with you." Uh, not anymore...
• So Kate and Sun share clothing sizes. Huh. Is Kate sure she wants to do what?
• OH FUCK. Sun is going to give Aaron to Widmore. She's a little bitch.
  
• What's the file say??? Huh. Sun's going hunting for Ben, is she.
  
• How is it that I'm on Ben's side, not Sun's? Oh, because Ben is just too freakin' awesome is why. (Thank you, Michael Emerson. Thank you.)

• Ah, so we do see Char.
• I didn't know that Juliet calls Sawyer, "James."
  
• Yes, Dan knew it would happen. But WHY is it happening? He's lying. He has to know why it isn't happening to anyone else.
  
• Oh, this is the scene that had a preview on WWK. This guy used to be the dad on "My So Called Life" I think.
  
• Exchange of custody. That sucks. Ew. "You did this to yourself." Ass.
  
• Ok, so my blog is not very articulate today. (Is it ever?) John is very much focused on leaving the island. He's determined to do it. This is another scene that was on WWK.
• Damn, Locke. Play to Sawyer's emotions by asking if he wants Kate to come back. John Locke really is the new Ben Linus.
• She looks crap, that Charlotte. And Miles just makes an appearance.
  
• We're off to see the Orchid...
• Sayid is right. The only side Ben is on IS his own.
  
• I don't like this plastic-surgery-face woman.
• Ooooh, here's where Sayid kicks some SERIOUS ass. Love it.
  
• Wait, what did the note say. Oh right. Kate's address. Fuck. Wait, she did not hire that guy... or the other guys to kill Sayid... what?

• And... the last preview scene from WWK.
  
• It seems to good to be true that they would all be in LA at the same time. BUT we all know that it will not be this easy to get them together and back to the island. Especially since Aaron will be gone.
• "Save the dirty linen for later." Interesting, Ben.
• Long Beach marina, slip 23. 23 is one of the numbers, right?
• Yeah, Miles. What the hell IS that. Oh, wait, is that when Des turned on the light in the Swan? That has to be.
• Holy fuck. That's how Sawyer sees Kate in the jungle. Chills!!!! Chills!!!
• Great, now Miles is bleeding.
  
• And that's Claire screaming.
• WHOA. WEIRD!!!! Claire is having her baby, and Sawyer sees it. Oh my god. Tear.
• And, uh, yeah, it would NOT have been that easy.
  
• Oh no! Just as he saw his lady love, flash! Gone!

I know that the commercials showed Sawyer telling someone he saw Kate in the jungle, so I wonder how that comes to be. So far, I am feeling like this is a lot of filler. No reveals so far. Let's hope there's a good payoff later on in the episode :-)
Speaking of commercials, looks like Michael (Harold Perrineau) is on a new show.

• And so they meet. Jack and Kate. Oh, THIS was the preview scene. Never mind.
  
• Jack looks pretty haggard. I bet they didn't have to do any makeup to make Foxy look that way. He's getting on in age. But still looks good... ?
• James is a smart one. He knew it was from the hatch. And now he's sharing so that James will share.
  
• "I needed that pain to get to where I am now." Well said, John Locke. Well said.
• Dude, Danny Boy is lying. Or maybe not. Maybe Miles and Char HAVE been on the island a while before.
  
• Oh shit. Canoes? Pontoons? What are those called.
  
• "Who came in these? Other Others?" Haha, love Sawyer.
• Row, row, row your boat...
• I wonder how tired they must be. No food. Hardly any water. Time traveling.
  
• Ah, he shared with Juliet. Sawyeret is ON!
• Yeah, like paddling is going to help them escape those arrows or whatever. I guess they are gun shots.
• GEEZE, these poor people never get a break! I don't see how any of them are still solid, but then again I am not necessarily an expert in the subject of time travel.
• So... how the hell does Claire's mum know that Aaron is not Kate's, and is indeed Claire's? Is Claire alive? Has she come back to visit Mum?

So, that wasn't the biggest reveal in the world, now was it. I mean, it's puzzling for sure, but not as gratifying as learning that Desny's son is called Charlie, and that Charles Widmore was on the island as part of Richard Alpert's camp back in the 50's. So when Charles says it's his island, it kinda really is. Unless of course, there is a a Battle Royale between Charles and the White Haired Lady. Because they were part of the same camp. Well, according to something I saw that implied that the young blondie from the 50's is indeed the White Haired Lady, whose name I can NEVER remember.

• It never rains that much in LA. Never. Promise.
• Jack, don't try to fix it, just try to get them all together. Besides, we all know that that was a diversion to get Aaron in the hands of Sun, who in turn will get him in the hands of Widmore.
• That's what we're about to learn right now.
  
• See, she has no idea what he's talking about. Claire's mum that is. She's probably suing Oceanic.
• And now Kate will realize that Sun is playing her. Or not.
• Hm. So this guy has ties with Ben, too. Who the hell does he work for?
  
• Ben? No way. Wait, that was TOO obvious, right? To think that Ben hired him just to get Kate and Aaron back? He must need Aaron's blood for something.
• Share, James. Share with Juliet. Bond. Get all lovey and stuff. People need action on this island besides jumping time. Right?
• Oh crap. Now Juliet's nose is bleeding.
  
• Are they when Desmond landed on the island? Or when Rousseau landed!!! Sixteen years ago!!! Crazy!
• Who is in the water? What? A plant? Will he kill them?
  
• WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Jin?!?!?!?!

Ok, so, mean to tell me that Jin has been time traveling, unconscious in the ocean this whole time? That's nuts. But man, am I glad he's alive. But it's pretty far-fetched, I have to say.

• At the marina now. Stopped raining. All is calm.
  
• I love how everyone just LIES to each other on this show.
• Safe from WHOM, Kate. WHOM.
• Oooohhh... Sun's got her eye on you...
• Awww... and Jin's waking up, somewhere in time. He just barely learned English, and now he has to deal with French people? And Danielle Rousseau is there to save him. A young Rousseau.
• Duh, that's Rousseau's sweater. Lasted 16 years, eh. Long time.
• That was not a surprise at all. Well, to Jin it is. But not to me. Come onnnnn....

Ok, there were some fakeouts, and some disappointing reveals here. I suppose it was to be expected that there would be a meh episode. But, so soon? And with so few episodes over which to spread the story, I thought we were supposed to get quality all the time! I am disappointed. Bad Darlton, bad.
