shipperxI have few of my own from last night (other than I've really enjoyed most of this season. I think LOST has done a good job of keeping the roller-coaster ride going and being intriguing. But then I have a long history with mythology-based shows and know that they dole out answers slowly, and that more often than not, the solution isn't nearly as interesting as the mystery (see: X-Files, Buffy, etc). So, I'm happy as long as they keep the journey fun, and (for me) LOST has been.
Anyway, I'm posting TV Guide's thoughts on last night's lost since I don't have many thoughts of my own (because I spent most of last evening shopping at Macy's. I bought a pair of light gray summer weight trousers, two t-shirts--one brown with some Indian-like symbol in cream on the front and a marine teal "golf shirt", a short sleeve summer blouse--white with a blue/green paisley print, and a new Kenneth Cole bracelet to replace the one that I broke a few months ago.)

April 5, 2006: I Like Chicken
"You know what tastes better than freedom? Cheeseburgers." Even if Dave doesn't really exist, he's got a point. This entire episode has me wondering if the island really is just in Hurley's mind. I mean, if Libby was in the institution with them, he could have imagined a blonder version of her, too. I wouldn't put it past the writers of this show to bring it up as a possibility, shoot it down and then have it be a twist. There was that deserted island poster right above Hurley's head during therapy. But regardless of if it is just a big elaborate fantasy in Hurley's mind, or something more based in reality, it is utterly fascinating and it just keeps getting better, and I'm not just saying that because it was a Hurley-centric episode. But still, it was awesome to see him tackle Sawyer. He used that weight that the island won't "let" him lose to his advantage. No one seemed to have any sympathy for Sawyer, but that's probably because he's known for his offensive comments: "I've got enough food to open a minimart. Hey, you think Sayid needs a job?" Anyway, back to Hurley. He finally got smooched by Libby. Though their almost kiss after their food "fight" was more adorable. I did think it pretty intriguing that Hurley ran across the numbers before he met the Connect Four-obsessed Leonard. His accident was on a deck that was meant to hold eight people and crumbled under the weight of 23. Feeling responsible for the deaths of two people would have driven me a little bit batty, too, and I'm sure if I had an imaginary friend, he or she would use Star Wars references to convince me of their existence. "Uh, Kinkos, Photoshop... What, you think they really blew up the Death Star?" Oh, and was Hurley's stint in therapy before or after his job, because he claims that he likes chicken, and after uttering "Have a cluckity cluck cluck day" over and over, I'm guessing that chicken wouldn't be one of the three things he likes most in the world.
The addition of Henry Gale has really put a great twist on everything. His revelation that he didn't enter the numbers into the computer (though he still could be lying) is sure to drive Locke absolutely bananas, and that should be fun to watch. Also, his speech that "God doesn't know how long we've been here. He can't see this island any better than the rest of the world," was just downright creepy. But the most important thing he said was that the guy with the beard is a nobody. So if DeGroot isn't mystery island's head honcho, does that mean Hanso is somewhere around, or is there another Other?
