sorry to those in LA & TX- please read after you see. and welcome new members jim & robin roppo!

again, don't be shy on the reply alls- we welcome your thoughts!

here are my random observations for this week's episode. enjoy.

- why does jack say he's SICK (of lying) in last yr's episode. does he have the plague or will he? st. sebastian- patron st of the plague.
- action 8 news- 8 is a number
- oceanic 6- only 6 people get off the island. i think claire gets off the island - sorry- spoiler alert dan! i bet everyone winds up dying except for a few but hurley survives bc of his weight.
- camaro- same yr as the van?
- oranges- crashed into oranges/jack drinking oj- oranges grow in tropical climates- juliette is from florida.
- the cop with hurley was anna lucia's partner
- cannonball - the breeders. remember friends
- all the musical references in the show! breeders-the island is for breeding!
- is hurley now having chaly's visions? or desmond's?
- rose's weird message to claire about chaly. gizmo/busy signal. there was a weird alliteration.
- 6 hours from now.. we are sitting on that boat.. (jack) 6!
- connect 4. 4 is a number. he played connect 4 before the crash.
- tropical island stuff (including a shark which is a lost animal) drawn on the blackboard in the background where hurley is staying in the nuthous origin,
- george-the guy naomi was talking to on the phone- The boy's name George and its meaning is farmer .
George, a knight who became the patron saint of England, achieved legendary status through the medieval story of his struggle with a fire -breathing dragon, symbolic of the devil
- matthew abbedel? who visited hurley in the nuthouse of oceanic flight - The boy's name Matthew It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is gift Biblical- the name of one of the apostles, who wrote the first Gospel account of the life of Jesus.
- hurley painting an igloo. there's a dharma station somewhere cold! and there was a polar bear- another lost animal
-notice the shadowing on jack's face while he tried to shoot locke- light vs dark/good vs evil- thru the looking glass. ying and yang- always.
. the us vs them
- 100 years - what is the meaning

2 commercials that ran that were weird
duma key- the stephen king book- it said return not guaranteed
It would be impossible to convey the wonder and the horror of Stephen King's latest novel in just a few words. Suffice it to say that Duma Key, the story of Edgar Freemantle and his recovery from the terrible nightmare-inducing accident that stole his arm and ended his marriage, is Stephen King's most brilliant novel to date (outside of the Dark Tower, in which case each is arguably his best work). Duma Key is as rich and rewarding as Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (yes, that Shawshank Redemption) and as truly scary as anything King has saying. Readers who have always wanted to try Stephen King but never known where to start should try a few pages of Duma Key--the frankness with which Edgar reveals his desperate, sputtering rages and thoughts of suicide is King at the top of his game. And that's just the first thirty pages...

jack, locke, and others have attempted suicide. jack's marriage ending!

and right before that was the hawaii tourism commercial check out the shot of the guy looking thru the rearview mirror- LOOKING GLASS WHY is their site still down if in the flash forwards, oceanic is back in business offering frequent fliers to the survivors.

i'm trying to stay awake for this damn commercial but don't want to sit thru eli stone!
