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

I thought that we knew that Sawyer had asked Kate to check up on Clementine?

I think that was just the most popular spec.

Who else felt the Hurley/talks-to-bones-guy conversation was the writer's attempt to dumb down the time-twisting issues for viewers? I thought they made things worse by trying to explain it rather than just assume we'd get it. I mean really, saying little Ben's past is Hurley's present? How does that make it less complicated? Actually, I think Hurley understood the whole situation better before TTBG tried to explain it. He was spot-on with the Back to the Future bit.

Yeah, that was very dumb. But I saw it as more of "in case you missed an ep or two" rather than "in case you didn't get it that last five times we showed and told", but mayhaps I'm being kind.

I wanna know where Snow Farraday is "gone" to!

I liked the Hurley - Ghost Whisperer dude conversation. I thought it was more about the writers admitting that they didn't have it all worked out than explaining anything to the audience, since they never reached a real conclusion. Hanging a lampshade, if you will.

man, what a fucking cheat: "if I take him, he'll forget any of this happened and he'll lose his innocence."

Total weak sauce. But at least now we know that Charles is still in charge of the Others in '77. Would Penny have been born by now?

And I echo Juliebird, where the hell is Faraday?

I liked that conversation too - I thought that Hurley was standing in for the audience there.

Although he was asking some really stupid questions for most of it. Why would you remember something you haven't done yet? COME ON NOW.

It was a total lampshade, I just think it was clumsily done. They could have winked at it in a two sentence exchange instead of a confusing 3 minutes scene.

I also get antsier than normal when I feel this show is wasting the precious 42ish minutes it has to give us SHOW. Granted, I'd be even antsier if this was the final season and the final few episodes (I'm looking at you BSG), but still.

Yeah, but it was giving us more Hurley in an ocean of Kate, and that's always a win.
