Teppy, the recaplet (much shorter than a recap; but still detailed because...well, I can't do too short) is here: [link].
Thank you, ma'am. Sounds like we didn't miss too much. (My gamble was that most of the exciting stuff would happen in the last half, which was true -- except for last week's, b/c we got Jin and young!Rousseau, etc., in the first half.)
Mrs. Faraday said they had to try to make everything as similar as possible to the Oceanic 815 flight.
Did Hurley have Charlie's guitar with him? He had a guitar case, and it made me go "awwwwwwwww!" (Assuming it was Charlie's. A random guitar is less aw-making.)
I hope to high heaven that Ben didn't kill Penny,
I seriously think that would have happened onscreen, since the season finale 2 seasons ago (was it?) made such a big deal about Ben finding Widmore and telling him that b/c he (Widmore) was responsible for Alex's death, then Ben was going to kill Penny.
because Penny and Desmond's love is the one (other than Bernard and Rose) that matters to me on this show.
I was so frustrated -- but not surprised -- that we didn't get a Sun/Jin reunion last night.
Did Hurley have Charlie's guitar with him? He had a guitar case, and it made me go "awwwwwwwww!" (Assuming it was Charlie's. A random guitar is less aw-making.)
And how did the guitar end up on the island too? Is it a proxy for Charlie?
This strikes me as the handwavey sort of thing that helps us accept that Hellboy's Liz can be totally aflame, but her clothes don't burn.
I'm also thinking that I must have missed something with Penny this week and last. She's hurt?
Fahey's line was great, but my favorite exchange of the night was Jack/Ben/Mama Farraday. Liberally paraphrased:
Jack: Did you know about this Foucault's pendulum room, Ben?
Ben: No. No I did not.
Jack: Is he lying?
MF: Probably.
I laughed like a loon. I think I liked it most because at the end of the exchange we still know absolutely nothing. It's like a microcosm of the show.
I really didn't expect them to make it back to the Island, so that's cool, and now we'd better get some explanations as to why so many of them ended up back on the plane. That must have been some last night on the mainland!
Ben: No. No I did not.
He says this same thing when Jack asks him whether he knew Locke had killed himself, by the by.
I laughed at "Probably" as well. Oh, Ben.
I seriously think that would have happened onscreen, since the season finale 2 seasons ago (was it?)
That was definitely last season. However, I think there's a lot of stuff that happened that night before the flight that we'll be seeing onscreen in the weeks to come. So there could be mega Penny trauma that has happened, but we haven't seen it yet. (sorry Cindy!)
Wolfram, that exchange was awesome.
I can't hear you Nora. La la la.
Did Hurley have Charlie's guitar with him? He had a guitar case, and it made me go "awwwwwwwww!" (Assuming it was Charlie's. A random guitar is less aw-making.)
It wasn't specified either way. I'm deciding it's Charlie's until we hear otherwise. Hurley's rich. He bought it off e-Bay or something. Are you with me?
Obviously Hurley's got a story to tell, because wasn't he going to prison for murder the last time we saw him?
wasn't he going to prison for murder the last time we saw him?
Ben's lawyer said that there wasn't adequate evidence to convict Hurley, because the first dead guy outside of Santa Rosa was dead before Hurley got there, so he expected Hurley to be released on the inital hearing.
(My explanation might have made more sense if I had a better knowledge of the correct terms for various legal proceedings.)
It looked a little small to be a guitar case, but that may have been because I was seeing it in relation to Hurley.
