Lost #2.20: Two For The Road

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

So I’m sitting through this whole episode, and thinking not much is going on. We learned a little about Michael’s whereabouts–he’d been tracking the Others and found out there’s only 22 of them, and they’re weak and not even as good off as the survivors. Also Fake Henry Gale attacked Ana Lucia, which [...]

Lost #2.19: S.O.S.

Friday, August 15th, 2008

This episode focused on, for the first time, Rose and Bernard.  It showed that Rose is all zen and laidback about things, while Bernard is a man of action.  The flashback made that clear, in their reactions to Rose’s terminal cancer.  And the story made that clear in Bernard trying to rally everyone to help [...]

Lost #2.18: Dave

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Dang! I was all too excited to see what happens with Balloonist, so I watched another episode and not too much happened there. It was mostly all about Hurley, his flashback to his time in a mental hospital, and his questioning of reality. Because of that, I don’t really have any idea [...]

Lost #2.17: Lockdown

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Even though I thought by itself this episode was kinda lame, it does feel like a lot of what happened could be quite significant in the story. (But I know, it’s Lost, it probably isn’t significant at all.)
It began with Locke being Locked into The Hatch, when giant steel walls randomly came down. [...]

Lost #2.16: The Whole Truth

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Flashback: Sun and Jin trying to have a baby, and then Sun finding out from the doctor that she cannot. Flashpresent: Sun finding out she’s pregnant. Flashback: Sun finding out from the doctor that Jin was the one who was infertile. Flashpresent: Jin deciding that it’s a miracle, after Sun tells him [...]

Vradio #41: Theme Time Rip-Off Hour #4: Baseball

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Been sitting on this bunch of songs awhile, probably because songs about baseball don’t excite me much. But Dylan apparently really likes them, and his 4th Theme Time Radio Hour was on the sport. I do have an Olympics baseball game on, so it seemed a good time to post it. Not [...]

Lost #2.15: Maternity Leave

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

This episode was especially creepy, because the flashbacks weren’t just interwoven with the story, they were actually part of the story. And because the flashbacks weren’t to way back, pre-crash, but were Claire’s flashbacks to when she had been kidnapped. And because the flashbacks were creepy.
Claire realized via flashback that when she was [...]

Lost #2.14: One Of Them

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Finally a Sayid episode! He’s been pretty much not in the show for awhile. And he’s bad-ass again!
Sayid tortures a guy who the Crazy French Lady caught in a trap. The episode kept flip-flopping on who the guy was. First, Crazy French Lady was like “he’s one of them!” [...]

Lost #2.13: The Long Con

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

This episode was really interesting! But cons usually are I guess. The flashback showed Sawyer conning a woman out of $600,000. And on the island, he masterminded some conning to freak everyone out, and be “the new sheriff in town.”
It started with an attack on Sun. Sawyer planted the idea that [...]
