You must check out fleurdelista recapping Lost in haiku format. My faves:

Sun and Jin happy
Hurley knows why that is so
Thumbs up, dude hit it.

Even dying Sawyer
Can still make Jack cry -- he is
such a little girl.

The competent nurse
Is ready to get laid now.
Stops watching Sawyer.


Is it just me or should there be a law that Sayid is required to wear wife beaters or nothing at all? What the hell was up with that mangy shirt? Looked like he'd dug up Boone's body, stole his shirt, and wore it to the funeral. Ick.

The Kate backstory was, um, certainly different. I'm not so sure blowing up her dad was the best decision she could have made, but I'll definitely give her style points. And she rides a motorcycle? Well that completes the loner/rebel cliches I suppose, though the poor actress looked absolutely petrified on it.

I liked seeing her kind of squirrely and just shy of batshit crazy, I kept having inappropriate quotes from the Mad Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight throughout the episode. That was probably wrong of me.

So did anybody else get the impression that Eko might be an Ethiopian Christian from his little Josiah story, or was it just me? If so and his story somehow relates to the Arc of the Covenant I'm going to laugh and laugh, then madly applaud the writers. I also like how he's been sort of set up as the anti-Locke in some ways, Locke puts his faith in the Island (and rightly so, it cured him after all...assuming his inability to walk wasn't psychosomatic, of course) whereas Eko seems to have pretty strong Christian beliefs and may be viewing the Island as either purgatory or hell. Should be interesting to see whose belief system comes out a winner, though with the scenes from the next ep I wouldn't feel comfy putting my money on Eko.

Liked the additional film footage, though it tells us very little. The blast doors comment from Michael made my skin crawl, though, the whole nuclear plant concept is sounding a bit more realistic now. And wow that somewhat Poltergeist-y bit at the end with Walt was creeptastic! Don't go into the light Walt, don't go into the light!

Oh and much love to the writers for having Sawyer wake up in the middle of Kate's little "Sorry I blew you up because I didn't want to face the fact that I might be a little like you, Dad." speech. Heh.

Also, any ideas on why Ana was so intent on pounding a wooden stake into the ground? Was it supposed to be symbolic or was she actually attempting to do something that I couldn't quite fathom?


Got a bit more crafting done last night, but that was about it aside from chatting with aelfsciene and jakejr for a while. Oh I did try a slightly different yoga/pilates workout that didn't leave me crying for mommy by the end. Then I figured out that it was just the third part of the one that kicked my ass the other night and that you're supposed to do them together. And there's another part they haven't even run yet. *sigh*

I'm glad I did it, though, as today I'm not nearly as stiff as I would've been otherwise.

*yawn* Can't wake up with it so gloomy outside. I need some sunshine, dammit.

well, the next new episode, airing on Jan. 11th, is Eko-centric and is called "The 23rd Psalm" -- does that hint at anything for you? ;)

Ep. 11 is called "The Hunting Party" and is Jack-centric --

Have fun ;)

It would probably hint much more if I Googled "23rd Psalm", wouldn't it? :)

It's this one:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Oh yeah, he's a total goner.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I believe I may now refer to Invisible Monster's Lair as the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" :)

Personally, I'd like to know just whose rod and staff are going to comfort whom...

I'm sure there are slash writers already busily at work answering that question.

What was really weird was that Eko got the quote wrong. It seems like it must be significant, I don't think it was just a continuity gliltch. What he said during the preview was "Yea though I walk through she *shadow* of the *valley* of Death, I will fear no evil.

It really *is* "valley of the shadow", and since this is arguably the best-known of all the Psalms, I can't believe it was just a little goof nobody caught, or that Eko would accidentally mis-quote it.
