kuro_neko, the "ninja wizards" bit nearly killed me:
Yes, as many have guessed I'm home sick today thanks in great part to two wretched cats and multiple coughing fits last night. I think I slept about 3 straight hours and the rest of the night was spent glancing at the clock pretty much every hour on the hour. At 4 a.m. Kage stared to vomit noisily in the middle of my bedroom floor. I got up to get the worst up and heard her continuing in the living room. Yeah, it was one of those nights. I phoned in this morning and crawled back into bed until noon. Now I'm sipping a cup of hot citrus tea with honey which is doing wonders for my throat.
But since I actually went to the trouble to take notes on last night's Lost, I'm damn well posting the
We start with Boone who is so totally checking out his own sister that I am immediately profoundly disturbed. Ok, part of it is him checking her out, part is the fact that Sayid seems to actually be interested in her. Oh gods I know the pickings are slim, but I'd rather see him hook up with crazy French lady than Snickers. On the other hand whenever we flip back to Boone my brain keeps kicking into a variation of the Police's "Roxanne". "Shannon..you don't have to put on the red light..." It amuses me.
We get Hurley doing an ass-tacular job at motivational speaking. Dude, I still want you for Mayor of Mystery Isle, but motivating you are not.
Flashback to Boone in all his WASPy glory nancing off a tennis court with generic white girl #5. My god is he actually wearing those ridiculous little wrist band things? Man, are we absolutely sure the character's straight? Right, right, suspend your disbelief, think about polar bears and you'll be fine. Anyway Shannon calls distraught, apparently being attacked by some guy in Sydney and Ellie thinks, "Good!" Sadly Boone thinks, "Oh shit, I must fly to her rescue!" Big time white knight issues in this boy.
Locke and Boone pretend to be boar hunting, but they're really off checking out their mysterious door in the ground and trying to figure out a way to open it. Also Locke is clearly planning ahead, he's a forward thinker that one, and he wants Sayid on his side when the shit goes down. I like how his mind works. Boone could learn much from him, too bad he's slightly less bright than your average beagle. We cut to a commercial break and I once again curse our capitalist society for interrupting my beloved show.
Hurley's back and seems to have some pretty significant digestive problems. Sadly the boy seems to have zero understanding of how his body works or what he needs to make it work well. This isn't exactly a shocker, but still it shouldn't take Dr. Jack to point out that eating nothing but fruit isn't really going to do his body good. He then mentions Jin, oh yeah, that guy, haven't seen him in ages. Perhaps he was just off on an extended fishing trip?
Anyway, Jack tracks the elusive whack Job Kate in her natural habitat, apparently completely forgetting last episode's extended mind fuck. Yes, I recognize she's HAWT, believe me, I do, and I know that there aren't that many chicks to choose from on the island, but dude. If she's so screwed up even Sawyer's backed off you've got to take a hint. Oh, hey, Sun's actually doing something that you'd think several folks in the group would've thought of ages ago, farming. She's roped Kate into helping out and you just know there's going to be some female bonding coming up. Kate wonders aloud if Locke is screwing them over. Sure, Kate, Locke is the one everyone should be worried about. Ms. Pot, say hello to Mr. Kettle.
We cut back to the door in the ground and Lock wins more points from me by telling a delightful story about Michelangelo. I'm definitely rooting for his faction when they plan total island domination.
Another flashback to Boone being...well, Boone, and I am quite certain that at some point in this episode that huge Aussie is going to kick his ass. Not this scene, but soon.
"You just said something mean, didn't ya?" Hurley, you are so the man.
Boone tries to convince Locke that Shannon can keep their secret and Lock does the most sensible thing possible to stop his incessant whining, clocks him good and proper. Unconsciousness suits the boy. We come back to find Boone all tied up and I discover that Boone bondage is so much less satisfying than the Sayid version.
Locke has a definite tough love style of leadership, I admire that. What lesson is he trying to teach? I suspect it's to stop being such a damn pussy, or perhaps it's to stop macking in his damn sister. Freak.
Flashyback to Boone whining to a police officer as Sawyer is dragged through the station. Dood! I think that's all we get for this week, still, heh. The officer seems bored and unimpressed that Boone is rich and American and therefore thinks he's entitled to boss the Sydney constabulary around. He also makes sure to emphasize that Boone and Shannon aren't blood relations, 'cause the show is only willing to go so far, you know? Somehow I can't help thinking I'd have respected it so much more if they had. Ah well.
Kate apparently just likes to keep in practice when it comes to lying so starts spinning a tale for Sun about wanting to go to Bali and getting on the wrong plane for LA. I next expect her to start talking about how the fairy prince once took her to the land of sugar plums. I've gotta' love the fact, though, that even though she doesn't think Sun can understand a word she still feels the need to make shit up. Sun, of course, does understand and has been conveniently around in the past to have overheard enough to know just how full of shit Kate is. Finally Kate clues in to the fact that she can speak English and seems bemused that another chick on the island is keeping at least one major secret. They bond in a weird anti-Steel Magnolias kind of way.
Hurley and Jin become fishing adversaries and Hurley seems to confuse the cure for a jellyfish sting with that of a sea urchin and tests the limits of his his new relationship with Jin. I gotta' go with Jin on this one, we'd have to be pretty good friends before I'd pee on a buddy's foot.
Locke encounters Sayid and they chat then Locke gifts him with a compass after a somewhat creepy childhood story. He says he doesn't need the compass any more and wanders off, much to Sayid's relief. All I can think, though, is "DUN DUN DUNNNNN!"
Oooh, Shannon screaming, big invisible monster roaring, damn this might just turn out to be my favorite episode ever! Boone finds he's real damn motivated to free himself now, grabs the knife and frees his "sister" from where she's bound to a tree. Off they scamper as big, bad and incorporeal chases after them. I dunno', I'm back to the dinosaur theory, I mean it sure as hell sounds like one to me. They scurry into a close stand of trees, and are immediately attacked, way to screw up a rescue, Boone! On the other hand, should they somehow manage to survive someone is so gettin' some. Which is wrong in so many ways.
Sayid gives Jack a lesson island geography and thinks Locke's compass is broken. I, however, think it's the island that's broken. Sayid is just too pragmatic and down to earth to subscribe to such theories, however, and like the voices he heard in the jungle, shrugs it off.
Flashback to Boone who's paid off big bad Aussie only to discover that Shannon has been totally fucking him over for years. The boy's a bit slow, but he gets there finally. And sure enough his ass gets kicked.
Locke and Jack "chat" about the most dangerous predator of all as Sun and Kate bond over lying. "Have you never lied to a man you've loved?" Oh, honey, if you only knew.
Hey, Charlie! Wait, aspirin for heroin addiction? Charlie should so clock Jack for that one. And it seems Charlie too has joined the John Lock for Island Emperor Party. Yes, my path is clear.
Back to Shannon and Boone, she accuses her "brother" of being a liar and I bite my tongue to keep from laughing. Boone, of course, spills his guts about the door in the ground like the little bitch ass punk both Shannon and I always took him for, and then monster attack! Scamper, scamper, but oh Shannon's not quite fast enough and the monster grabs hers. Oooh, she sounds pretty crunchy. go, go invisible island monster!
Boone runs around wildly looking for lunch..er..Shannon and I yell at the tv, "Look up, it always puts 'em in the trees, moron."
Flashback to Shannon telling boone that incest really is best and hey, they're not blood relations so no icky 3-eyed kids to worry about. Of course this is going to make things a bit awkward at the holidays. I can't help thinking that if they made it back to LA their Thanksgiving would have consisted of an uncomfortable dinner capped by Boone blurting out, "Great meal, Mother, and uh, I slept with Shannon."
Post coitus Boone is seriously freaked in a "I just did my sister" kinda way. Shannon, having had her wicked way with him (and sobered up a bit) dumps his sorry ass.
And Shannon is found...dead! Ha! See what happens when you do your brother and flirt with my Sayid? That's right, bitch, you die! Of course I'm quite sure she's not really dead, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, dammit.
Boone marches back to camp and is completely ineffective at attacking Locke. And damn, damn, damn Shannon lives! Gah, couldn't the writers have given me a little more time to savor her demise?
"Is that what it made you see?" Boone assumes Locke is referring to the goop he put on his head after clocking him. I, on the other hand, don't think it's anything as simple as a natural hallucinogenic. Asked how he felt when he was her die Boone admits he felt relieved. Heh, the boy's got potential after all. Then Locke does his dark Yoda routine and invites him back out into the forest. Yes, young grasshopper, you do indeed have potential.
Next week "When Polar Bears Attack II: Electric Boogaloo!" See ya'll then.
