Blogging While Watching LOST: The Lie

by Christina Gleason on January 21, 2009

So we’re back on Penny’s boat, before they became the Oceanic 6. Hurley was the only one wanted to tell the truth instead of lying about what happened after the plane crash.

Ana-Lucia was the cop who pulled Hurley over? Oh dear. At least she’s giving him good advice about laying low. “Do not get arrested.” And Libby says hi? Dead people sure are helpful.

Back on the beach. With Neil Frogurt!

And our two nickname boys had a Dr. Wizard / Mr. Wizard back and forth.

This cashier chick remembers that Hurley won the lottery and survived a plane crash, but obvious hasn’t watched a TV since the previous night, even though there’s one on in the gas station.

“Mommy, I wanna go home.” Aww. Who’s meeting Kate in LA? Cassidy? Who else could it be?

Well, Ben’s not a complete bad guy. He flushed Jack’s pills down the toilet. Jack’s packing for a one way trip, never to come back. And he’s okay with that. Ben wouldn’t give Jack a straight answer about Locke being dead.

Expose! Razzle dazzle!

“Hey dad. How’s it going?” Oh, and never mind the unconscious Iraqi slung across my shoulders.

Was that Abaddon with the LAPD? Too distorted through the glass to tell.

“You killed three people?”
“No. Sayid did.”
“Oh, that’s better.”

And Sun called Kate, and is in LA.

Who is Ben’s butcher friend? Jill? Have we met her before? Someone please remind me.

Why won’t Daniel tell Charlotte she’s about to die?

Flaming arrows of death? What’s that all about? It looks like we don’t have to listen to Neil Frogurt whining anymore. He was wearing a red shirt tonight, right?

That’s a lot of arrows. How many archers were out there? Unless they were using crossbows, there had to be an awful lot of people firing those suckers, because they take time to nock and shoot.

Sun and Kate had quite a girl talk. Sun did bring up a good point. If the lawyers really wanted to expose the lie, they would have just done it. They didn’t need a blood test to get the lie out in the open. Who wants Aaron? Widmore? How would he even know? I’m guessing that Ben was behind it – his way to get Kate on the run, and more likely to go along with the plan to go back to the island. Yeah, that’s what I think is going on.

Jack told Hurley’s dad that he was taking Sayid to the hospital, but instead he’s going to keep him close. For the trip back to the island. Not that it’s going to happen tonight. I have a feeling that it’s going to take all season for them to try to get back to the island, if not ’til the end of the series.

Hurley’s gonna crack. He’s going to tell him mom. He’s telling his mom. Oh dear. Well, it’s obvious his mom thinks he’s just crazy. It’s funny though… It’s how people look at me when I try to explain what LOST is about!

Wait, she believes him?

Ow, what did Sawyer step on? His foot looks nasty!

“What are you doing on our island?” Um, I think Juliet and Sawyer should ask, “Who the hell are you?”

Hurley just threw his Hot Pocket against the wall. (By the way, the microwave was way too clean, considering he cooks Hot Pockets without so much as a paper plate or paper towel underneath.)

Ben sounds awfully convincing. But Sayid did tell Hurley to do the opposite of whatever he said. I just didn’t expect him to go surrender to the cops.

Who were those guys who wanted to cut off Juliet’s hand? Locke showed up just in the nick of time!

Mrs. Faraday? No, she’s the… what was she called? The sherriff? Is that who it was? Or was it the woman from the watch shop?

70 hours? What happens in 70 hours? Tell me what happens in 70 hours! Is this whole season going to only span 70 hours in Oceanic 6 time?
