A Lost post?

Sure, why not.

I thought I’d given up on the show. I thought it had gone to the dogs with that mid-season break last Fall. Then it came back on with those lame episodes bringing Kate and Sawyer off the additional island. Blah, Blah, Blah…

What changed? The last three shows have been the great, old style variety that caught my attention in the first place. They’ve brought back the weird connections, for one thing. The Missus says they hinted at Claire’s relation to Jack earlier, but I didn’t see it coming.

I was thinking about how they focused on Claire’s eyes so much in this last episode (3/14). She has amazing eyes, so why not. Then I don’t think anything is accidental with this show. Where are they going with the eyes? All these things that she saw. She saw the sea gulls flying off the island. She saw Charlie talking with Desmond quite often.

Seeing is only half of the battle, right? There’s what Claire perceived. She saw a way off the island when the birds caught her attention. She saw Charlie’s actions as just one deception after another. She saw Desmond as some devil influence on Charlie.

Claire’s perceptions are a mixed bag. Some were spot on. The birds might work. Charlie, however, turned out to be more honest than she thought. Desmond was only trying to protect him.

What does all this mean?

Just that Claire’s perceptions are clouded and the Lost writers work a motif pretty well.

Then there’s Lock and his crappy judgement.

Pigpen: “I’m a girl hunter.”

Me: “You mean you hunt girls?”

Pigpen: “Yep.”

Me: “What do you do when you catch them?”

Pigpen: “What?  Don’t be ridiculous!  I don’t catch them, I just TALK to them.”

I’d offer one about MastaG, but all I got is our conversation over the noise of the frying chicken right next to us about 20 minutes earlier.

MastaG: “Whats for supper?”

Me: (eyes roll)

Thanks for all your well wishes guys.  I’ve been a basketcase, myself, over this today.

Get well, Rhino. Keep your chin up, Sumgirl and Hubsley

Guys, I want to take a sec to have you consult your God or diety or prayerbeads or totems or whatever for Sumgirl’s kid, Rhino (also one of Pigpen’s good buddies).

He went to the ER at Methodist last night for severe diarrhea and stomach cramps and is now at Children Hospital in Knoxville, because Methodist didn’t know what to do.

Rhino, like Pigpen, is 4.
