Lost Season 6, "Everybody Loves Hugo"

Sorry I took a hiatus. I was honestly just mad..and didn't feel like caring about Lost. It's just that I've given so much to this damn show & I haven't gotten anything in return because this season has been so disappointing. I had to break up with it for a week. But I figured- why quit now? There's really only 4 more left (plus 2 hour series finale) and it's nice to hear from the folks that read Schlost & miss it. I love you too! xo

I already knew it was going to be a good episode when I heard the SWEET SWEET sound of Pierre Chang/Dr Marvin Candle/Mr Haliwax's voice. And then they had me at Hugo's love of chicken. His one restaurant was named Outback Roasters.

And we finally got an answer!! The whispers are the people that can't make it off the island. Sort of like a purgatory but I still think if you die & ask or seek forgiveness, you can make it off. I guess Mr. Eko is one of the whispers.. ah, Mr. Eko how I miss you so.

Hurley is at the opening for the Paleontolgy center. Paleontology is the study of the science of the life of past geologic periods based on fossil remains. Knowledge of the existence of fossils dates back at least to the ancient Greeks, who appear to have regarded them as the remains of various mythological creatures. Although paleontology deals with early forms of life, it is usually treated as a part of geology rather than of biology, as the environment of the animals and plants cannot be properly understood and reconstructed without knowledge of the age, structure, and composition of the rocks in which their remains are found.

The book Hurley picked up looked Greek and the little bag probably contained the black & white rocks.

Notice how everyone is dressed in blue/purple colors. Hurley's shirt was red, it's now burgundy. Desmond was in red. Usually the red people die.

Glad Ilana is dead. She was just as annoying as mAna Lucia. Glad the unstable dynamite got her, well I guess the Island was done with her. Also she was in a hospital for severe burns.

Desmond's order was #42, a number, also the amount of spaces in Connect Four.

Sayid is the man in black. literally.

Dead people are more reliable than live people.

The mental institute. There was a point made in a previous episode about how shoddy it looked. Hurley mentions this again and that's why he donates. But it didn't look shoddy now and this had to be referenced as we need to know Hurley had never been there before. There was a pic of an island in Dr. Brook's office, and a drawing of an island on the chalkboard. There was also the letter Y in the back of Hurley.

Y: The Last Man is a comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, about the only man to survive the apparent simultaneous death (from a plague) of every male mammal (barring the same man's pet monkey) on Earth. Brian K Vaughan also published for Dark Horse Comics. You should read more on Wiki about this because it's nuts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_the_last_man
Thanks bobbiestar for the reference!

I think the boy was Whidmore as a young Whidmore, not Aaron. Flocke says pay no attention to him, and he hates him but in the ALT universe is Desmond working for Whidmore and seeks revenge on Locke by trying to kill him for whatever happened in the other life (Locke pushing Des down the well). Is Desmond the new Jacob in the ALT world- touching everyone? He IS the constant.

The connect four reference. Are all the people in the sideways connected by four? I'm trying to figure this out.. this is who I have so far in the sideways.. not all 4s, though.
Hurley-Locke-Libby-Desmond
Locke- Jack- Hurley-Ben-Rose
Jin-Sayid-Keamy-Mikahl
Sawyer-Charlotte-Miles-Charlie
Kate-Claire- Ethan- Sawyer- Aaron
Ben-Arntz- Locke- Alex

Locke did look like when he fell out of the building. And his path will come in counter with Jack who will fix him (and he'll probably learn how to walk). Jack always needs to fix things!

They keep mentioning the bizarro alternate universe, so it appears that Lost/the island is a reflection on a path of life events that may happen if certain instances occur. So had 815 crashed, we'd wind up with characters of past events/flash forwards and had it not, we'd wind up with a rich chicken-lovin Hurley, a mental Libby, a good Sawyer, a bad Kate, a bad Sayid, a bad Jin, a good/teacher Locke. But they had to have some event happen to course-correct & redeem their lives. Michael killed so he never made it off the island like some others.. but some WILL make it off, even if they are dead (Locke, Boone). Also Hurley said you aren't supposed to let it go (Jack wanted to), so maybe you have to keep all these instances as "what ifs" to keep a good life even if you don't know what they are. There's also the Bad Twin theory (remember the manuscript of the guy that got sucked into the plane). That we all have a good & bad side. I don't know.. still trying to figure it out.

I FREAKED out when I heard the Willy Wonka song in the promo for next week. I don't think it was Gene Wilder either but BEN singing! It was the song played as they entered the tunnel of illusion. A tunnel that played off of peoples fears, confronting them with unbelievable sights...But in the end, the tunnel of illusion was just that...an illusion... and then it was all over. For those that don't watch Willy Wonka as much as I do, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zail7Gdqro

I miss Ben. Still.
