'A Hole in the World'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
But TiVo cut out at 9:01.
That was interesting last night, too. My digital box said the time was 8:02 at the end. Not only did it run over, but it ran over even longer than usual. What the heck is up with these guys?
Oh, and purely speculation by someone (Sadbhyl) in lj land. She thinks the reason it's so hard to figure directions on the island and that magnetic north is all messed is because the island is moving. Now, that would be interesting.
OMG great episode, but I KNEW Shannon wasn't really dead. They fooled me with Charlie but Boone was nowhere near distraught enough (although that could just been IS's 'acting').
Also, cleolinda's recap is up.
ETA ha ha ha ha ha
Sayid's like, "A whatthefuck? What does a weebalo do?" I dunno, wobbalo but never fall downalo?
My TV said Alias ran from 9:03 - 10:02. Weird! I think it's an anti-Tivo thing, personally.
The fisheries of Jinmark. Yeah, I'm sure the country thing is getting twee, but you know? It's my recap, and everywhere on the island looks the same, so stuff it.
Heh. Damn straight. I love the country thing.
I was thinking that the episode was more a day in the life of Jack - making house calls as the doctor. Boone was incidental, Locke's vision quest provocation number three.
It is nice to see Locke has a plan of a sort. He had his encounter, then pushed Jack and Charlie to their own, provoked Sayid into action against Sawyer, and now he is overtly recruiting.
Yeah, Charlie's line about Locke being the one person he absolutely trusts set off some ominous warning bells. I think push is going to come to shove, given Locke's comment about needing people on a particular side, and I don't think it's going to be pretty.
The weird part is, Locke is gaining power over people by subterfuge, quietly. Like, dude, if you openly made a move for power, there's a good chance you might become the obvious leader anyway. Why are you going to all the trouble to create rifts?
I mean, if it came to it, he's easily equipped to talk Jack out into the woods and murder him, and frame the invisimechasaurs for it. AFAIK, Jack and Sayid are the only ones with their hackles well and truly up around him, and Sayid seems to have resigned temporarily from the leadership department.
All of this said, I will laff and laff if Sawyer and Kate turn out to be the deciding personalities in the Paradise Island Civil War. They're the only "I'm on my side" characters, and I wonder what it would take to win each of them over securely.
Snerk-worthy from Cleolinda's recap:
Meanwhile, Mercutio is looking into some Important Box of Personal Significance. They ought to keep Sawyer's letter and Kate's airplane in there, I tell you what.
and
She's totally dead. Barber's Adagio for (Not Actually) Inbreeding plays woefully.
Heh. Heh heh heh.
She's totally dead. Barber's Adagio for (Not Actually) Inbreeding plays woefully.
That made me laugh. I really wanted to find a new tag in there, but nothing really called out to me.

I think Locke will target them first for this reason. He's already started trying to get Sawyer out of the picture. (siccing Sayid on him)
Cleolinda once again brings the funny.
As for Sawyer's brief appearance in the police station flashback, I have a theory: He's been hinting from the beginning that he knows that Kate's a bad, bad girl. What if he saw her being brought into the station by Marshall Shrap and managed to overhear a few tidbits of why she was there.
