Time for Lost

Hope everyone is having a good week.  Hope you all enjoyed LOST and to catch us up, Mos Jef's weekly review:

Apparently there’s some beef about how I have beef with the show. For that, I apologize and will try to keep my beefing to a minimum.

That is except when it comes to a friend of mine—which is no fault of the show. I choose my own friends. For privacy’s sake let’s call this friend Bony Talls. No no, that’s too obvious. Let’s just call him Anthony T. This young individual, who I’ve watched LOST with on many an occasion, has come into the habit of talking to the characters of the show as if they’re in the darkened room in which we are sitting. On cue, he says their name, as if expecting a response. They never respond, by the way. I felt like Larry David in the ending montage of last season’s Curb when he’s with his new family in the movie theater.

I’m a bit hazy on the best quotes from last night. I really enjoyed Ben telling Russo, “When you hear whispers, run,” specifically because this is the same thing she tells Sayid when they first meet. This line is now clearly up for interpretation. In the past the whispers have been a forewarning of the Others’ presence. If Widmore was the leader, and ordered that Russo be killed, then the Others (arriving via whispers) would merk her when they found her alive in the jungle. She took it as the whispers were always bad news (which is clearly not the case; i.e. the Aussie Stewardess who was kidnapped/recruited by the Others) and passed that fear onto Sayid.

Regardless of this endless over-analyzing opportunity in that comment, I have to award best line of the night to John Locke:

“I was just hoping for an apology.”

That coy smile gets me every time. In fact, looking back at the Seder I attended 2 and a half hours late last night., I kind of wish John Locke was my bachelor uncle, who insists on helping me hide the Afikoman. Alas, it’s not to be.

Big ups to Benjamin Linus. He’s like one of those dudes on the Maury Povich Show (my boss watches every morning, so I am forced to watch every morning before we leave the apartment) who finds out that he is, thanks to a free paternity test, the father of his girlfriend/temporary ho’s baby and decides to “step up, be a man, and take responsibility.” Ben was how old there? 18? 24?

New spin off show idea: Ben Linus is a single father, trying to raise a French baby on his own. His devotion to his mysterious religious beliefs coupled with his unique family dynamic leaves him very little room for a love life, even when the blonde OBGYN of his dreams moves to his tropical island.

Back to Russo for a second—why would the Island want her dead? I say the island because the rest of her scientific team went down into the temple and came out with a mission: to kill Danielle Russo. Is it because of how she helped the Flight 815 Survivors later on the time line? She led them to the Black Rock for dynamite (which ultimately freed Desmond). She warned them about the black smoke. Yet, she was eventually killed anyway, so was that just her fate? Was it because she was part of a scientific team and was therefore a woman of science, like Jack, and unable to be a woman of faith, like Locke.

I was a little confused how Caesar would come to trust Ben so quickly. He shows him the gun right off the bat. He wouldn’t even show that Bounty Hunter lady his glock, and it’s not as if Caesar didn’t see the Bounty Hunter lady in first class, transporting a criminal of sorts. Similar to the way Ben explained the murder of Locke, Ben gets the information he needs from Caesar (that he has a gun) and then finds him disposable.

My bad y’all. I was pretty confident about Penny being born on the island. (However let me slip in that I was also confident about Ben failing to kill Penny and that Desmond was the one who went Tyler Durden on his face.) Is Penny’s mother someone we’ve met before? Ben on the dock seemed sincere when he told Widmore that he “broke the rules” by leaving the island so frequently. He was endangering the secrecy of the Island’s location, just as he did when he sent his elite squad to capture Ben. Charles didn’t break the rules by killing Alex. He gave up the whereabouts of the island to those who should never have known in the first place. But Widmore told Locke that Ben “tricked him” off the island. Based on what happened this episode, I take Ben’s word over that of Charles. Yet I’m sure that opinion can change once we see a Widmore back story during his decades in power on the island, which should have the Charles In Charge theme song throughout the episode.

Miss my chubby Spanish gentle giant and would love to get him some face time.

Thought it was very cool how the game of Risk that Hurley and Sawyer were playing before the DI town was invaded was still in tact on Ben’s kitchen table. And while I can’t fill the “noting how Sawyer is the man quota” in this email, I’ll balance it out with a “Lapidis is cool as shit.” My man decides to leave Ben’s house in the middle of the night and walk through the jungle alone! Was he scared? Not even a little bit. He probably made a little road-trip out of it. Songs Lapidis most likely sang to himself as he trudged through the night; (1) Creedance Clearwater Revival’s “Run Through the Jungle.” (2) Jethro Tull’s “Bungle in the Jungle.” (3) Anything by Lou Reed solo or the Velvet Underground. No jungle relation, he just seems that cool.

I don’t remember when Locke ever came into contact with the temple, although he knew exactly how to get there. He was almost dragged into a hole by the black smoke before they blew open the hatch. Was that at that same underground temple opening?

While Bony Talls…sorry, Anthony T, tries to find a translation to the writing on the wall (“You guys, is that in Egyptian?”), I’ll beef a bit. In a decision that can only be described as homage to the final scene in Happy Gilmore when Chubs, the Gator and Abe Lincoln wave from the sky, Ben is engulfed by the black smoke. The black smoke full of cheesey visuals. Cheesey visuals that were not damning enough to force Ben into oblivion. And now, if Ben can heed the advice of his dead daughter, he’ll be allowed to stick around, creating more memories on the island for cheesey visuals, that can be seen in the opening credits of Ben’s soon-to-be spin off show.

This episode overall was a turning point in Ben’s life. He was always the Lewis Scott, Jimmy Dugan, Gordon Bombay character who thought he could do it all himself. But slowly he’s realizing that teamwork gets it done. Ben is important to the island, clearly. He’s a piece of the puzzle just like everyone else, albeit a bigger piece than most. Now he has to take a back seat to Locke and enjoy the ride with the rest of us.



“Too many questions”

Terrible news for all the readers out there, this guy is going away tomorrow on vacation and wont be back for a week.  Everyone have a great week and I'll be back with new posts soon.

HOLY LOST 4/3

Back for another Lost review is Mos Jeff, enjoy:

I feel like Brad Pitt. Not so much physically, but the part in Fight Club when he first meets Ed Norton on the plane and he says, "I get it. It's very clever. How's that working out for you? Being clever?"

In this case, the writers of LOST are the Ed Nortons. When did they start thinking they were so clever that they sit around in a little pow-wow and giggle to themselves about their clever ideas. They probably think they're as clever as the first dude who showed up at Madison Square Garden in the 90's with that clever Defense sign...the one that was a giant letter D and then a small cut out of a white picket fence. Now that was clever.

Case and point: "Catch a Falling Star." I know this popular tune from the movie Love Actually (an English flick) when the little kids dressed on stage, one as Spider Man, sing this tune. Later, and more importantly in my life, Season 1 of Lost Claire asks the potential adopted parents (Australian) of Aaron to sing that song to her child. Kate is American. Catch a Falling Star doesn't seem, in my estimation, to be an American classic. Claire definitely never had a chance to ask Kate to sing it to her son. So the clever writers decided, "Oh how fun would it be to tie up this loose end. We're so clever. We eat cheese and do cross word puzzles in pen and understand the economy." Yes, Kate could have heard Claire singing to Aaron on the beach in the past, but I like my tirade better.

Keeping the ball rolling on this, I think last night's episode had more nominees for worst line of the night rather than best line. Hence:

"Sawyer broke your heart. How else were you going to fix it?" - Cassidy

"He'll forget this ever happened and his innocence will be gone." - Richard

"Welcome back to the land of the living." - John Locke

As I delve into last night's hour I'll explain why those quotes irk me. But first, how incredible was the Myles-Hurley conversation? I feel like I've had that very same talk, including the Back to the Future II reference, with many of you out there. In fact, my favorite line of the night was Hurley's, "Ha! Then your theory is wrong!" But then I should probably lump that in with the writers being clever, and sneaking in a little insult to the viewers about them (me, us) being so wrong about everything. And why didn't Ben remember Sayid shooting him? (Which A. Myles wasn't on the island yet to know about and B. Ben never reveals to anyone)

Because of a stupid fucking explanation from Richard. I get it. Ben was brought in those first couple of episodes and that was supposed to be it for that character. Except he was so good that they had to keep him around and expand his role. However "he'll forget this ever happened" is such a cop out, man. It's on par with the end of Four Brothers. I still don't understand why they killed that poor woman.

This (forgetting it every happened) means that Sayid and young Ben will never be in contact again. Either Sayid will be killed or he'll time jump back to the 2000s. My guess is he gets merked because his arc seems to have come to an end. Although Ben doesn't recognize any of our other Survivors, nor do they get gassed in the Purge, so they might all jump out of his life.

Cassidy's line - I wasn't under the impression that Kate was heart broken at all. Her decision to keep Aaron wasn't about being alone, it was about protecting the island. Isn't that the point of Kate's character? To be the female hero of the show? Or maybe I couldn't hear her sobbing because her mouth was stuffed w/ Jack's apparently unimpressive (my understanding based on Juliet's lack of expression in the shower scene) "little surgeon." And was the handing over of Aaron to his grandma enough motivation to have her go ahead and sleep with Jack? Not so clever, writers. Not so clever. In addition, we all knew this is what Sawyer whispered about before, doing the opposite of what Schwarzenegger suggested, jumping off the choppa'.

Kate has no freckles.

And regardless if no one told her to do it, she's preggo. No one told Ben to show up last minute for the plane (like Hurley did.) But this show is based heavily on fate - and someone had to get knocked up.

The Richard line at least gave out some other clues -- Ellie and Charles both being the heads of the Hostiles. Yet Richard also claimed he didn't answer to them. Hopefully this power struggles is cleared up in Ben's back story. More importantly for right now, if Charles is on the island still, in 1977, Penny was almost definitely born on the island. Might be the offspring of Widmore and Ellie. Might be Kate and Jack's baby that Widmore takes with him (similar to what Kate did) when he is tricked off the island by Ben. No matter whose kid she is, she was born there and just like Desmond, Aaron and Walt, must go back to the island.

Kate and Sawyer are responsible for Ben's innate evil streak? Hardly. Blame the Doc with the shrinkage. If he hadn't been so stubborn as usual (the new him, apparently is just as stubborn as the old him) and saved Ben, the ginger kid wouldn't be personifying a Don Henley song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4cuEAU9mXM

Similar to Russo's friends losing their innocence.

Richard's Ouija Borad-esque skills, or potential molestation implications--you know how they love the Christianity references, in the mysterious Temple raise some questions. Did he do this with Locke? Probably not since Locke specifically remembers how he dies. He was healed by the island before that too when he was shot by Ben. He rises and kills Naomi, not so innocently. But he remembers being shot by Ben too. So these miracle cures clearly reenforce the fact that Locke is special.

Did Richard resurrect Christian? More possible than Locke. Eko's brother? Maybe. The point is Richard isn't clear if Ben won't remember any of his past or just the bit about his death.

The love square gets more complicated as Juliet doesn't knock on the bathroom door before entering and Sawyer tells Kate he loves the blonde. Two of the four will die, forcing the remaining two to be forcefully E-Harmony'd with each other.

Other thoughts: What if Ben, and our other old friends stuck in the time of Caesar and the Bounty Hunter Broad, can't go to the 70's because they'd encounter older versions of themselves. Ben is clearly around. But what if we were wrong about the AVD's asian baby? What if it's not Myles at all and it's actually Sun? I don't remember if they specified if the child was a boy or not. But even if they said it's "your son" that could've easily been written "your Sun." The counter argument is that Locke jumped to the same time where the beam of light shot out of the Hatch so jumping to the time of your former self is quite doable. And then a counter argument to that is that those time jumps occurred before Locke turned the donkey wheel.

Roger should hit on someone closer to his level. If Kate's a 9 or 10, Roger's like a 5? He should be looking more in the Rose hotness-scale level. Or Russo post 16 years of craziness and deterioration.

Is the Ben resurrection the "incident" they all speak of? I think that when Richard/Hostiles return Ben to the DI, with side effects or specific demands, that will be the incident.

Again, a pretty black and white episode. Keep hope alive.

Have a great weekend

HOLY LOST 3/26/09

It's Thursday and that means its time for our LOST review from Mos Jef.  I hope everyone enjoyed the ultimate bracket for music we had some great comments, I must say very creative.  Without further ado its time for HOLY LOST:

I always say that watching an hour of LOST, no matter what happens, is so enjoyable that it cannot be considered a bad episode. It cannot be considered a disappointment, because on it's worst day LOST is still better than say 24 or Heroes or any other show on its best day. I still feel that way, but it doesn't mean I can't get frustrated with this show for never answering questions. Ever. They're totally pulling a last-night-Sayid on us. Let it be known now, in a public forum, that I will force feed Cuse and Lindeloff LSD after next season if I don't hear exactly what I want to hear. I will pull up in an unmarked VW Bus, scoop them inside, drag them to self-storage unit in Syracuse, New York (in the winter, when no one can hear you scream) and make them talk.

Moving on, best line nominees:

"A 12-year-old Ben Linus brought me a chicken salad sandwich. How do you think I'm doing?" - Sayid, after clearly being dissatisfied with the quality of said chicken salad sandwich

"You know, together? Like you guys were?" - Hurley

"To put it quite simply, you're capable of things that most men aren't." - Ben Linus

My vote is the Ben Linus line, just because he delivers every line so well. Also, the deeper significance it holds. Quite simply, Ben Linus is just as capable as Sayid to kill. And he enjoys doing it. The thing is, only John Locke knows that Ben kills. He saw him kill the big dude with the bomb detonator on his 24-inch-python. He knows that he himself was killed. And then, of course, Ben killed the entire DI.

I also thoroughly enjoyed when Ben was getting beaten by his father. Note, I have some sympathy here, b/c if my kid looked like Ben I would totally backhand him at least twice a day. But it was great to see even Sayid, who hates Ben more than anyone probably, flinch at the site of a child being over powered by his father.

Another familiar actor, Ohad (is that his name?), the DI's torturer, was in Blade Runner, amongst other things. And thank you, VH1's The Drug Years, for informing me beforehand that the army explored the use of LSD as a truth serum back in the day.

Sayid tripping face--priceless. How come Hurley hasn't made any references to needing a joint, by the way? I think it's pretty clear that Hurley rocks the ganj. Wouldn't you expect him to ask around..."So does the DI 'grow' anything special?" Or..."This ranch dressing is great...but it would be even greater if..."

Sayid drinking the same scotch as Widmore and Desmond drank. Yea, you pompous fucking creators. You can link that shit back together but you can't answer why Walt's so special or why Libby was in the mental institution with Hurley? And mind you, now that our Bounty Hunter is in the year _____ w/ Ben and Locke, the speech that Sayid gave her on the plane regarding how awful Ben is as a human being, will definitely go into her decision making from here on out.

Clearly there was only one thing in this episode truly worth analyzing (hence the frustration from paragraph one) but something else irked me. Maybe I'm wrong here, but what did Ben do to really piss Sayid off? Sayid killed people for Ben. Ben then came to him when more people needed killing (outside Hurley's institution.) What did Sayid expect from him? I don't think we're missing any pieces to the puzzle. So am I alone in thinking that Sayid has no reason to be on the "I hate Ben" band wagon? He told him to kill. He killed voluntarily. Went to South America to star in Extreme Home Makeover. Was told to kill again. Did so. Shows up in the harbor. Hates Ben.

And now the big finale...Ben's shot in the chest. He's not dead. This is what happened. It's not as if this is a new time line and Old Ben doesn't exist. Old Ben remembers being shot. It might be worth going back and watching the first time Old Ben (then Henry Gale) encounters Sayid (about to get tortured in the hatch.) Is there a hint of recognition? Is there a hint of fear? I love the parallel nature of Sayid being caught and lying to Ben, "I came here for you." This is the very same line Ben used on John Locke to get free...

Is Ben being shot possibly related to the toomer he develops later? In the coming attractions Kate flips out saying "We did this." Meaning them coming back forced what they assume to be as changing the past. But in reality they're not changing anything. Whatever they do from here on out is what happened in the 70s. So Jack, feeling guilty, steps up. "I'm a doctor. I can save Ben." This will bring up more questions later, but for now at least Ben is saved. Does he screw up the surgery? Is that why the toomer happens? And then Ben, finding Dr. Jack later, knows he's the only one who can rectify his surgery mistake.

Or have there been experiments going on the island? So far, it doesn't appear that the island has any healing powers. Nor does it have any defects in the baby-making process. Does Horace flip a switch? Or experiment with the time traveling abilities in the Orchid station to save Ben's life? Perhaps this is the first time they do this and in the process unleash the healing powers of the island, but also screw up the final stage of pregnancy.

Do they take Ben to the Hostiles for help? Richard recognizes Ben as the kid who saw the image of his mother, which impressed him all those years ago, and decides that he needs to use Jacob, or the island, or whatever, to save the kid. Whatever happens, being shot at someone that you later learn is part of Flight 815 is enough to have you hold a grudge for the rest of your life.

For serious you guys, "Too many questions."

Another great recap and review by Mos Jef.

Before I go:

Great college basketball continues tomorrow and continues to the end of the weekend.  By Sunday night we will be down to our Final Four.

Yesterdays Quote was Anchorman

The Three Movies that make up the common thread are: Anchorman, Along Came Polly and Angels in the Outfield.  The idea of the game is to now find something they all have in common.  Remember the example: My Cousin Vinny, Analyze This, Wild Hogz the answer was Goodfellas due to Liota in Wild Hogz, Pesci in My Cousin Vinny and Deniro in Analyze This all together in Goodfellas.  Good Luck

Question of the day:  If you could visit one place in the world where would it be?

Have a great weekend....

GIDDY UP

HOLY LOST is Back

Before we get to HOLY LOST lets review day one of March Madness.

Yours Truly went : 9 for 16 on the games against the spread.  I was 0-2 on the best bets of the day.

Here are my picks for Friday , day 2 of the first rounds:

Utah -1.5 vs Arizona: Ill talk the points and take Arizona to win outright

Wake Forest -8 vs Cleveland State:  I love Cleveland State, but Wake Forest is too tough theyll cover

Cuse -11.5 vs Stephen Austin:  Stone Cold is not enough for Cuse, I'll take Cuse

Arizona State -5.5 vs Temple:  Arizona State can make noise in this tourny and Temple is getting too much love right here.

Louisville -20.5 vs Morehead St.:  Well we can all use Morehead, but Louisville is no match they cover easy

Ohio State -3 vs Siena:  Ohio State covers but barely, might win by 4

Pitt -19.5 vs E. Tenn. St.:  Pitt is covering by halftime and never looks back

Tennesse -2 vs Oklahoma State:  I like Ok State and the points, SEC is overrated

Michigan State -16.5 vs Robert Morris:  Robert is no match for MSU, but dont expect MSU to last much longer in the dance.

USC -2.5 vs Boston College:  USC is just flat better than BC and only 2.5 points is basically a pick em, I'll take BC

Kansas -9.5 vs North Dakota State:  Please show Kansas some respect, this spread is too low, I'll take Kansas

West Virginia -9 vs Dayton:  If WVU gets hot they cover easy, but I'll take em to cover regardless

Missouri -12.5 vs Cornell:  Maybe its just the upsate NY love I have, but I will take Cornell to cover, loose but cover

Marquette -4.5 vs Utah State: The spread is too low take Marquette

Florida State -2.5 vs Wisconsin:  Wisconsin wins this outright take the points.

Xavier -10.5 vs Portland State:  I like the X-men to win this, they may cover.

Best Bets: Kansas, Michigan State, Pitt, Louisville

And NOW on to HOLY LOST.....ITS BACK:

In an episode seemingly lacking in a "go to" line of the night, I leave it up to you. And the nominees are.

Jin Kwan for his work and feigning the tough guy in the jungle. "Say another word and you're dead."

Jim LaFleur and the Doc for their regular old 'pick-up from the airport' convo. "Faraday? He's here?" "Not anymore." Might as well have been LaFleuer pointing out a local burrito shack that makes the best fish tacos in town. He'll take them there after they drop off their bags and settle in. Their mango salsa cannot be beat anywhere. Count on it.

The Asian Video Doctor for his sticking it to Jack. “Based on your aptitude test you’ll be doing janitorial work.” Good one LeFleur! (ooh, you’re a legend LeFleur!)

And lastly, Hugo Reyes for his work in saying what everyone was thinking to Jin.. "Dude, your English is awesome."

A little something a friend of mine, Joshua the Fagen, and I saw coming was the Project Runway reveal. Clearly the 1994 White Aztec (please excuse the Camp reference) building project that Sawyer and Kate were taking part in while in Others' captivity was the runway that Lapidis sees when the plane is going down. You remember the chain gang I'm talking about. Sawyer drops his pick axe, struts over to Kate, totally gets to first base with her, then takes the gun from the dude who Juliet shot on the beach. So now we don't know what year that was...but let's say it was 2004 as we all originally assumed being blatantly ignorant of the complexity of time jumping at the time. If we accept that as fact, then Sun, Ben, Lapidis and Caesar have landed the plane in the future; 2009? Beyond? By the way, hate to say "I told you so" that Caesar was looking in a station post DI's reign.

Something to remember--and I'm sure someone out there is nerdy enough to have looked this up-- what was the name that Sayid's guard whispered as she was coming to from the crash?

Ethan the baby throws off our whole "Richard was born on the island so he won't age" chatter. Clearly something else at play. But Ethan's existence makes it easier to believe that an older Ben could convince the little kids (Ethan among them. Goodwin also? The Sheriff? Gay Tom?) that he's special. It's like convincing a youngin' that there's a water polo hall of fame in Scranton, PA.

Is Faraday time jumping or is he dead? Did he volunteer to be part of one of Asian Doctor's experiments of time travel for the good of LeFleur's entourage? That's my guess. But I hope he's merked. Sweet justice would be if Adam Goldberg (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004965/) came on for a cameo and killed him, saying "You couldn't have shot that German dude while he was digging that hole and singing the wrong words to the National Anthem? He stabbed me in the chest! Slowly! Slow, painful chest stabbing because you were sympathetic of a Nazi in a Speilberg movie! You dick!"

Did it bother anyone else when Sawyer and Jin spoke openly on the walkie about Sayid? Jin ducks behind a wall and says "It's Sayid." Are we to believe on this huge island, only the two of them communicate by walkie talkie? I used to go skiing, my friends would have those ill walkie talkies, and we purposely would go on other people's channels to jump into random conversations. "Meet me at the top of Nor’Easter in half hour.” I imagine the folks on the receiving end of these pranks never showed, but I think it’s a useful example of why not to speak openly over walkie talkies about sensitive information, i.e. Genuine Iraqi Hostiles.

Real cool that Ben’s arm was healed once they crashed.

Can’t wait for LeFleur to slip up in his nick name rant and make some kind of 80’s or 90’s reference that the DI members just don’t’ get. Maybe that’s how…

Dean Gordon “Cheese” Prichard’s former assistant figures the whole dubious situation out. He clearly doesn’t trust our crew. And way to fuck it up for everyone Jack. “I’m looking for James.” Just cause the Boss (fuck Bruce Springsteen) shaved his beard doesn’t mean he’s not a fan of the nick names! You know he loves nick names! Besides, you were clearly instructed to call him LeFleur. Follow directions for once, Noah Wiley. Yea, you’re the equivalent of Noah Wiley in E.R. Not even LaSalle status, let alone Clooney, Anthony Edwards or new-wave Stamos.

In that sense, the sense that Jack is a fucking idiot, I agree that LeFleur was right about “thinking” before acting. At the same time, this is the first time I’ve ever had to say this to my favorite character: “I’m not mad, LeFleur. I’m just disappointed.” Honestly, Jack-o shows up, you barely fill him in on the last 3 years, he comes to talk about Sayid’s situation and you’re a total dick to him? I could see that being the case if he saw that Kate had written on Jack’s Facebook wall or something. But this attack was totally uncalled for. Read your book, think before you act. That’s all well and good. But let the Doc know about what you’ve learned since he’s been gone. Tell him about the Hostiles. Tell us about the Hostiles! And tell him about pre-pubescent Ben on the island…

Now I’ve been arguing this for a while…at least 3 episodes. I was convinced that Ben was not on the island yet. Convinced. Why? Because Juliet would’ve said something. Sawyer would have tried to kill him (which is exactly what Sayid is about to try and do.) But then at like the middle of the episode I knew I was wrong…as soon as LeFleur said “Farday’s has some interesting theories about what we can and can’t do.” Clearly Sawyer and Juliet meet little Ben, and Sawyer is about to go all “That’s for taking the kid off the boat” on him until Faraday has to explain things to him.

Speaking of PP Ben, finally a nice casting job by the team. This kid LOOKS like he could be Ben. A huge step up from the Jack’s grand dad debacle.

I liked the irony at the end of the episode. Ben greets Sayid in his cage, just as Sayid greeted Ben when he was locked in the Hatch’s gunnery. Clearly it’s gonna take time, a whole lotta precious time, for Ben to rise to status amongst the Hostiles, but I think we can believe that he’s made contact with Richard in the jungle at this point. His fascination with Sayid gives that away. Now it’s a matter of him convincing the right people that the DI must be wiped out, that he’s the dude that should be leader, that Ethan and Goodwin and whoever else should be allowed to come along for the ride.

Karma that the EP's of the best show ever are Lindelof and Cuse? Go Orange - Johnny Flynn is the Troof.

Before I go:

Yesterday's Movie Quote:  My Cousin Vinny, if you havent seen it get out of the country.

Todays Quote:  "Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass."

Question of the day:  If you could live any where in the world where would it be?
