Wash ,'War Stories'
[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.
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.
Maybe he's got Charlie's teeny tiny corpse in there?
Okay, so I assumed that Ben hired someone to rough him up and that's why he was bloody and beaten.
Alternatively, I was thinking that Sayid was the one who roughed up Ben and Ben arranged this.
I thought that Ben wanted to be roughed up because 1) he knew the island would heal him; and 2) because there was someone disabled on the plane and Ben was going to take Locke's position.
Did I over think all of this? If so, please note: I was confused with last night's episode and I still don't understand WTF they got on that plane in those circumstances.
