I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

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!)

What is even happening?

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?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Obviously Hurley's got a story to tell, because wasn't he going to prison for murder the last time we saw him?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

because there was someone disabled on the plane and Ben was going to take Locke's position.

Oooh, nice!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm finally catching up and am having a HitG! moment: the hottie who gives Jack his condolences at the airport, where have I seen him before?

Also, I took Ben's comment about tying up loose ends to totally mean he was going to kill Penny. And as much as I'd love to see Penny or Desmond whoop his ass but good, and although that was my initial thought on what he was planning to do, I don't see Ben as failing in much of his endeavors. Then again, on the mainland he seems to be more infallible than on the island. I mean, you'd think, that if he wanted to get all the Oceanic 6 back to the island, he'd hire some goons to force them onto a private flight. Willingness was a requirement, was it?

also, the flight attendant has a wicked gorgeous voice, will we see her again?

Compassionately intolerant

Sayid was the one who roughed up Ben and Ben arranged this

I assumed that since Sayid said he didn't want anything to do with going back, that Ben counted on Sayid getting his hate on towards Ben. Ben goes to whereever Sayid is, talks smack about Nadia or somesuch and has John Law standing by to press charges. Why that would get him escorted onto a plane leaving the country? Dunno.
