Here is the promo breakdown for next weeks Lost episode...

Narrator: Next Wednesday...

We open on a long shot of Hurley trudging along the shore.

Fade to black, then fade in on the camp. We see many people walking around. Boone strides in the foreground, Jack and Charlie are in the center, and others are further back, standing by some trees. Jack and Charlie are facing the camera as they walk from left to right.

Jack: "Sayid! You ready?"

Switch angles to from behind Sayid as he strides through the camp. Locke is in the middle distance, tending a fire. Sawyer is in the far distance, walking in the direction that Sayid is walking towards (presumable out of the camp). Sayid turns and looks towards the camera as he walks.

Narrator: A search to uncover the mysteries of the island...

Cut to a scene of Hurley and Charlie hacking their way through the jungle.

Fade to a shot of Sayid and Jack standing in the jungle, with Sayid looking alert, and Jack looking at him, waiting.

Cut to a shot of Charlie standing with his back to the jungle, standing near a tree stump, as he looks out.

Charlie: "Guys, you should come see this."

Cut to Sayid walking up in the jungle, while Jack is reaching into his backpack to get something out of it.

Fade to black, then fade in on Sayid now standing beside Charlie, and Hurley just coming up to them.

Sayid (VO): "This poses somewhat of a problem."

Reverse to reveal a rickety wooden bridge crossing a ravine. One rope railing is on the left side.

Hurley: "Woah."

Cut to a close up of Charlie as he starts forward to cross the bridge.

Narrator: ...tuns into a desperate attempt to stay alive.

Switch to an angle from below the bridge, as we see Charlie carefully picking his way accross.

Pull further down the ravine to see that Charlie is about at the middle of the bridge. The separation between the wooden slats is very evident.

Cut to a close up from just under the bridge, as we see Charlie's feet as they step onto different planks.

Sayid (OS): "Don't move!"

Cut to a shot of the bridge snapping in half.

Cut to a close up of Jack as he shouts.

Jack: "CHARLIE!"

We see Charlie diving through the end "gate" of the bridge. Hurley tries to catch him.

Cut to another close up of Jack shouting.

Jack: "Hurley, stay put!"

Switch to a shot of Hurley standing in the jungle. He has his head wrapped in a makeshift bandanna. He is looking intently upwards, then lowers his eyes and ducks down.

Cut to a close up of Sayid, screaming.

Sayid (OS): "Down!"

We see a close up of a bunch of wooden spikes swinging across the screen.

Pull back to see Huley diving to the ground as a huge timber covered with spikes comes swinging down on ropes from above.

Cut to a close up of someone's leg breaking a tripwire.

Cut to a close up of Sayid shouting.

Sayid: "JACK!"

Pull back from behind Sayid, as we see Jack standing in front of him. Jack turns around to look at Sayid. In the distance, we can see the mountains, but that view is quickly obscured by the vast explosion that goes off.

Fade to white, then fade in on Hurley, standing alone in the jungle.

Hurley (whispering): "Is someone shooting at us?"

Fade to black, then fade in on Hurley motoring through the jungel as though he is being chased.

Cut to a close up of Hurley as he pulls up short, then we hear a clacking noise, and someone shoves a rifle or shotgun close to Hurley's face.

Hurley: "Ohhh!"

Fade to black, then cue the Lost logo.

Narrator: An all-new Lost, next Wednesday at 8, 7 Central, only on ABC.

Bad Robot.

ELAPSED TIME - 0:30

It's too late for me to form coherent thoughts, but two things spring to mind:

1. When Jin was beating up the Environment director, I really felt DDK putting such emotion into the scenes. I felt that he was feeling his humanity slip away.

2. In the promo, the bridge only reminds me of the bridge of death from Holy Grail. I'm going to be going through that routine all week, I fear.

The actor who played Sun's father? Sucked.

Not only that, but I got the impression that all of his dialogue was ADRed after the fact.

Thought that this episode was definitely better than the last few have been, and a good companion piece to "House of the Rising Sun."

I want Hurley to make the joke. With the accent "What is yer name? What is yer quest?" And then Charlie to come back with "No. It's not Monty Python. It's Indiana Jones!"

Jin's Dad was a lox, according to the local translator.

?????

I admit, when Jin did that extra-long pause when asked about his dad, I went 'oh, god, another member of the Daddy Issues Island Club.' But then it turned out his father rocked! And Jin knew he rocked!

Nora and others who missed it Hurley on the tv.

I didn't think that the discman crapping out was funny. I actually thought it was very sad.

Oh, I thought so too, especially coming on the heels of the very couply focus on Shannon/Sayid and Charlie/Babymama.

Nora and others who missed it Hurley on the tv.

A-ha! The letterings on TV is now somewhat readable. The stuff we white-fonted before, tiggy? Looks like that's confirmed. It basically says;

" Lucky winner "
"Los Angeles, California"

Jin with sunglasses on ...

Oh my, yes.

I liked this episode a lot, and what I liked most about it were the tangled plots of knowledge-deficits. I like the ways that Jin and Sun are fumbling at each other, cluelessly, but in some version of good faith.

I'm a little weird on the whole 'No, I'll stand aside and watch one guy beat the other to a bloody pulp' at the climax, however. I can understand that there's a dramatic progression involved, but, I don't know as how it makes actual group-dynamics sense. Then again, I don't know why Jin, upon discovering the fire, didn't start yawping for help. Yawping in Korean would probably not get in the way of being understood to say, "Danger! Danger!"
