Real time Lost recapping III: The Revenge

ebonlockDisclaimer: This is real time recapping which means I'm typing *very* quickly. There will be typos, small errors, misunderstandings on my part. So basically suck up and deal. That is all.
Last time on Lost Dr. Hero Jack's Daddy drank and doctored. Sawyer-not-Sawyer and Kate share a letter and weird pseudo confidences and I realize that he's been way more honest with Kate than she has with him. Wacky.
Anyway, we find ourselves in a public service announcement about domestic abuse starring little Not-Sawyer as a wee, sandy haired tyke. Awake to hot, sweaty shirtless adult Sawyer (oh my!) who in a delightfully redneck moment chases a boar from his tent with a pipe. All that was missing was some banjo music. Off he runs into the Forest of Mystery only to encounter the same whispery voices that freaked Sayid the hell out. Of course Sayid dismissed it as "the wind". Yeah you keep telling yourself that you hot Iraqi stud you. Ok clearly I've gotten far too much beefcake too early in the episode, it's throwing me off.
Sawyer's scavenging and Sayid is wearing a wifebeater..oh god. Sayid snarks about last night's adventure and Sawyer makes an empty threat. Sayid manfully bites back the laughter that is desperately trying to escape, but oh god is it ever in his eyes. And then they start to discuss the forest whispers and we think maybe, just maybe we're going to get a revelation of some sort...but alas, no.
Sawyer is yet again making out with some boobacious woman, but Robert Patrick goes and spoils all their fun. Sawyer removes the lady and nearly chokes Mr. Patrick who pays him back for the "Tampa Job" and dangles the info about the real Sawyer. Not Sawyer drools like Pavlov's dog and reads through a file folder. I find it in me to almost forgive Robert for his work on the last couple of seasons of XFiles. Almost.
Kate gives Jack back the gun and Ellie thinks, Jack count those guns, hide that key and why are you putting the case away right in front of her? Kate offers to get the gun back from Sawyer ("I could so totally sex him up for you, Jack, really, no problem."), but Jack refuses. He doesn't want her to owe him anything. Kate doesn't seem to mind owing Sawyer, not one little bit. If I were Jack I'd start to wonder about a gal whose response to every Sawyer related problem is, "You want me to seduce him? Huh? Huh?"
Claire makes overtures to Charlie and he blows her off because he has to "do something". This is decidedly un-Charlie-like behavior. Who wants to bet his something is a downright adorable gesture for Claire later on in this episode? Anybody?
Not-Sawyer goes out looking for his tent and seems to have made a friend. "Hey, guys, look what followed me home, can I keep it?" Into the mud he goes and away runs Porky, hmm maybe it's more like a stalker than a pet. Ok, now it's personal. Not-Sawyer decides to go out for bacon with his boom-stick while Kate mocks him, he storms off pouting. It's not a good day to be a redneck con man on Lost Island.
Of course the real Sawyer is somewhere in Australia so Not-Sawyer buys hisself a nice little piece because he is out for REVENGE. Thing is I'm not buying it. Now you ask me if Kate would put a bullet between the bastard's eyes and I'm going to say, "Oh hell yeah." But Not-Sawyer? Dude, he aimed for a prone man's head and hit him in the chest. Guy's ok with handling your average jungle polar bear attack, but murder? Nope, sorry, can't quite swallow that.
Oh, Charlie and Hurley are burying evil Ethan. Hurley if possible I love you even more for your comparison of this situation to a horror film, and for the fact that you think Ethan may be coming back from the dead. Am I the only one who is watching Ethan's dead hand very carefully? Thought not. He tries to get Charlie to at least smile at his comment about it being ok if Charlie runs away and Ethan gets him because he's large and gets cramps. No such luck. Aww. Hurley then goes to talk to Sayid about "Gulf War Syndrome", although I think he really means "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", and yep, that's what he means all right. Have I mentioned lately that Hurley so needs to be Mayor of this island?
Not-Sawyer attempts to track his boar but ends up tracking Boone instead. Kate offers to help as she has apparently picked up ranger abilities since last week, good way to spend those extra experience points, girlfriend. She wants carte blanche from Sawyer's stash for her help and of course he agrees because they both know that they have ulterior motives for going camping together. Around the Campfire of Unrequited Sexual Tension, Sawyer introduces her to the game of "I Never". "I never kissed a man." Sawyer says and slash fangirls everywhere moan with dismay and sigh sadly. Though apparently he did once wear pink. Huh. Sadly Sawyer's little airplane baby bottles of booze don't last too awfully long, and things start to turn real personal real quick. "I never killed a man." Sawyer whispers and then both Kate and he take a swig. Hmmm, interesting. Aww, they're bonding over murder, that's almost sweet in a really screwed up way, I mean really screwed up. It's Kate and Not-Sawyer, what did I expect?
Ok, Sawyer's dad has just turned into the boar...so the boar is representative of his "baggage"? Or..um..something. Mr. Boar has trashed Sawyer's stuff but left Kate's alone, go figure. Locke appears to say "Howdy" and tag-team mock Sawyer for his boar fixation. Locke then goes into a story about his dead sister and the sad tale of his mother's slow decline into depression. It turns into an almost sweet tale involving a beautiful golden retriever who may or may not have been the reincarnation of his sister. So maybe the boar's his dad, or the real Sawyer? Locke is certainly heavily implying it, and when Locke implies something y'all best be taking notes.
Not Sawyer stalks Sawyer who's working at a little shrimp stand and chats away as N-S tries to work up the guts to kill him. Oh damn, James! I no longer have to call him "Not-Sawyer", hooray! James runs away to get himself some liquid courage and bumps into an American Drunkard in Sydney and they bond over a bottle. Oh holy fuck it's Jack's Drunkdard Daddy! Fuck yeah! Sorry, I blame the rampant hormones from earlier in the episode for my current confusion. Jack's Daddy starts talking about Dr. Hero Jack and Ellie is forced into a fit of giggles, oh how I love the writers of this series, love, love, love them. So James is actually carrying around a message for Dr. Hero Jack, one of love and forgiveness from his dad that would make everything right for Jack if only he knew. "This business that you have, will it ease your suffering?" Uh, Dr. Daddy you might want take a swig of shut the hell up before you talk the boy into murder. Oh, wait, too late.
They're playing the Visa check card commercial with the superheroes that always makes me laugh. Well, really, check out Wolverine's pose. I nearly fall over laughing every time I see it.
Charlie gets violent on some coconuts and Sayid comes to play island's counselor. Sayid tells the story about being on a firing squad and how it's still effecting him. Charlie actually listens to him and Sayid comments, "You're not alone, don't pretend to be." Awww.
James and Kate are wandering through Lost Forest and Kate rolls really fucking well coming up with a wallow and tree rubbings or something. James grabs a piglet and dangles it trying to get the daddy pig to come out but Kate gets all protective of it and kicks him in the...something to get him to drop it.
Back to James shooting poor Shrimp guy right in the chest and surprise, surprise, he ain't Sawyer but some guy who owed Mr Patrick some cash. D'oh! Now back to James and the boar staring each other down. Ok, I have to say that when he does that glare from under his eyebrows I go a little wibbly inside. Kate watches as James decides not to shoot the boar and mentally kicks herself for not taking advantage of him the night before when she could've easily done so then chalked it up to the booze. She seems pleased, though, that he doesn't kill the pig, though, uh, aren't they still short of food? I thought boars made good eatin' and everybody was all hot to get at them just a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't it, "Locke, kill us a boar!" and "Boone, why haven't you guys bagged a boar?" and, wait, wait, wait, back it up, what the hell is up with the door in the ground? Why haven't we heard a damn thing about it in weeks? God, how'd I forget about that? Again I have to say, I love these writers so very, very much.
Oh hey, Sun and Jin spotting, briefly. And there's freaky little Walt and the Doomrador. And Mercutio and...some guy. Claire watches them all as Charlie wanders up to take a walk with her as the sun sets. Can I just say that whatever is in the water on this island should be bottled and brought back to the mainland? Everyone's hair, especially Claire's looks fucking amazing. Not even on my best hair day have I come even close to what she apparently wakes up with without even trying. *sigh*
"That's why the Red Sox will never win the series....It's just something my father used to say." James perks up at that, and realizes who random Drunk Guy was. Ok tell him James, tell him...tell him...Gah! "No reason." Damn. Sorry Dr. Hero Jack, no resolution for you.
Next week the raft is almost finished and something or someone is attacking Jin, again. It's apparently not a good day to be a Korean mafia guy on Lost Island next week. Though Sun looks hot in that bathing suit, yum! Apparently this week was for the ladies, and next is for the boys, the bi-'s and the lesbians, fair enough. And Locke is yelling about the others on the island. And didn't I hear something suspiciously like the invisible monster? Oh god I hope so!
Last time on Lost Dr. Hero Jack's Daddy drank and doctored. Sawyer-not-Sawyer and Kate share a letter and weird pseudo confidences and I realize that he's been way more honest with Kate than she has with him. Wacky.

my eyes!
Date: 2005-02-17 05:36 am (UTC)Having seen entirely too much ST:TNG lately, my mind immediately went to ship's counselor, and Troi and Sayid both have curly dark hair and soon Sayid was traipsing around in her little outfits in my head. It is wrong, wrong, wrong, and I may never sleep again. o.O

I'm sorry but that's precisely the image I was shooting for and meant to go back and fill it in some more but, of course, forgot before I hit the publish button.

Date: 2005-02-17 05:10 pm (UTC)And IMO, this was another fucking brilliant move by the writers--since neither Jack's dad nor Jack would've known that the Sox won the series this year. :)

Date: 2005-02-17 05:18 pm (UTC)I nearly built a damn altar to the writers after last night's ep. I went into it thinking, "Oh this one'll suck" and came out with my jaw dragging on the floor. I love the writers so very much.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 12:10 am (UTC)The next few eps should be pretty good as well, from the spoilers I've read. Which I have vowed to stop reading, as they take a lot of the fun away from watching it. How I wish I had the self-control to keep away from spoilers on other shows. :)

Date: 2005-02-18 12:26 am (UTC)I have to say this episode had the most misleading teaser for any I've ever seen. I honestly don't know why they'd edit it that way, the fans are hooked and at this point there's enough external strife on the island to make more internal stuff kind of redundant. And dammit, only the most naive among us actually thought somebody was going to have sex this early in the season.

Date: 2005-02-18 02:48 am (UTC)I was so waiting for his hand to twitch. It was positioned perfectly in the frame to not be the center of attention yet be clearly visible.
As for Mr. Patrick, as soon as he came on the screen I said "Oh look, they are already starting the 'can I please be on your show' cameos that I love so much."
I really do love this show!
