Pseudo-Live Blog: The Variable

Yay! New episode! Yay! Previously on!

• Looks like it's about Desmond and his mum. Based on the Previously On.
• Oh, I thought that was Miss Clu - the doctor lady.
• Aha... so Eloise pays Penny a visit then?
  
• Well, duh, we knew her son was Daniel. Uh, was there supposed to be mystery in that?
• So, Daniel is at the dock, seeing Miles.
  
• Dan wants to see the newbies. Fast. Now.
• And here's the clip that's been making the talk show rounds while Matthew Fox has been representin'.
• Whuuu...?? Oh. Star Trek. Meh.

• Must be young Dan. They got a good look-alike for his mum too. Where the heck are they? Why doesn't Daniel have a dialect?
• Destiny. There's that word again.
• Jack had too many clothes on.
• Juliet says. Sawyer does.
  
• Phil is in trouble. I don't really know why they told Jack about that.
  
• Oh! That's the weird scene we saw earlier in the season! The 'you need a hard hat down here' scene!!!
• Here is why the button is born. HOW the button is born?

• Hm. Maybe Daniel was doing reverse psychology on Dr. Chang?
• I really hate Daniel's 90's hair. And how about that control Eloise has over Daniel. Ha.
• He got a grant from Widmore - ah - yep, called it.
  
• Still wondering why the hell he doesn't have a dialect.
• No wonder everyone thinks Daniel is crazy. He IS.
• Oh, maybe he's not that crazy. Ha. He knows one of the hostiles is his mum.

• Oh! Yay, this is what we saw about Daniel when we first learned about him. Wonderful. Still don't know who that woman is.
• So, Widmore finds him.
• Wait, how does he get this memory thing.... what the fuckery? Need to know how the hell this happens.
  
• Weird, Widmore is telling Dan about the fake plane. WTF. I would be freaked if I was Dan.
• "Whoa. Why would you tell me that?" says Dan.
• And why wouldn't Dan remember tomorrow?
• See. Juliet overrode what Sawyer said/did.
  
• Dan's going to go see Charlotte. Hahaha. Weird.
  
• Wow, he looks super creepy. I would not want that man around my kid.
• Shootout at the old corral!
• Holy crap Dan is bleeding!

• What is with this memory thing? I want to know what the hell happened.
  
• WTF, how was Daniel all bleeding and stuff but now he's fine?
• Uh. Oh. Problems in Sawyeret-ville.
• BIG problems in Sawyeret-ville.
• Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
• The story of the button!!!
• WTF?!?!?! How NUTS would that be if flight 815 actually landed in LA like it was supposed to?!?!
• HYDROGEN BOMB!
• And then, back in present-day...
• Uh, I have a feeling little Charlie is not going to just be watched, but taken...
• Awww... Desny are so cute!
• Wait. Did Widmore just say that Daniel was his son too?!?!?!?!?! I mean, I always suspected... but.... ?!?!?!?!
• WHAT. The FUCK. She shot her own son. She shot - she killed Daniel!
• Wow. I am so very. very. sad! Ok, maybe just a little.
  

THIS is getting really interesting now.
