Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

In fact I'm pretty sure his life up until the crash was stock boy at Wal-Mart and getting stoned with his buds and watching Scooby Doo and Kevin Smith movies.

Maybe the writers will surprise you.

My info bar tells me I'm 70% closer to getting Kate's story (thanks for the link, Daniel). Very exciting.

Hurley is a dot.com zillionaire cruising the world in first class. He neglects to admit that his father owned the Santa Monica Pier, from which he once fished.

The herald provides a pointer to the challenge

Hmm. Then I think Hec and I are both right. Because Merrick pointed Buffy towards slayerdom and she refused at first, so he's definitely a Herald. I'm thinking, though, that we don't need to be limited to one Herald. There are a number of stages to the hero's journey and each one could conceivably be "heralded" by a major change in the hero's path. New challenges arise, another herald points the hero towards it. Which gives me pause. I sure as hell hope Hurley is not going to be the only Herald. It could get a bit boring.

I said "surprise you" not make you want to hurl (objects at the TV or your dinner. Whichever).

We're at 72% now. Woo!

This is the danger of deconstruction. I will still laugh, when Hurley comes up with some Hurley-ism in future episodes.

t begins to threadsuck for the Kate-ometer.

eta: Grr. Where is the Kate-ometer? I need to do better than JenP, because I am competitive, in that way.

I know. I quit doing it after season 6 of Buffy, I got burnt out. But, there's just so much going on in Lost. I've got a million and one ideas, none of them even close to confirmed. It's just fun googling various gods and monsters.

The download race? I was so confused until I realized this is what you probably mean.

I'm at 76% now.

Really. I am so grooving on this show.

JenP, my threadsuck searching for the Kate-ometer was unsuccessful. There is no Kate-ometer. I declare 73%, unless someone can point to the actual test.

on edit: OH! What a nimrod am I? I thought someone had put up a quiz that would reveal Kate's story. You are refering to Daniel's link to the excellent HDTV-quality torrent link to eppy 3.

Yes, the link is golden. That LOL person, despite the t hurl awful handle, has the real goods. As does Daniel.

Gus, are we talking about the same thing? (I missed the ep about Kate, and I am among the "those who aren't as familiar with bittorrents" of whom Daniel speaks. So, yay, Daniel for making it so easy.)

Not so much. See my x-post, above.
