Lost:

- Yay for Hurley backstory, and I'm really intrigued that he seems to be the one with the most direct connection to the island. Poor, poor Hurley. Bad luck abounds.

- Rogue points out that it's now even funnier that Walt kept beating at Hurley at backgammon, and that Hurley can *actually* pay Walt the $84,000 he owes him. *g*

- I *loved* Locke and Claire. I love how Locke is slowly but surely making everyone on the island somehow indebted to him. Charlie, Walt, Michael, Boone, Shannon, and now Claire...this had better be leading up to something, that's all I'm sayin'.

- Charlie was, um, kinda mean to Hurley this episode. But his adorable scruffiness makes up for it. :) How much did I love his big-eyed "Merry" face when he was crossing the bridge?

- I honestly don't know why, but watching Shannon and Sayid makes me physically uncomfortable. I squirm when they're onscreen together. Even Ken and Barbie-- er, Jack and Kate-- don't do that to me. Weird.

Alias:

- Oh. Don't. Even. Sark loved Lauren? Sark cries over Lauren? Bitch, *please.* Now Allison, I could've maybe bought that. But as pathetic, boring, and ineffective a character as *Lauren*? No way. He's gotta be playing Vaughn.

- With that out of the way, SQUEE SARKNEY KISS!

- I was a bit disappointed that Sark betrayed Anna, because *damn* wouldn't it have been fun to have them working together. But the "Sydney, I'm a man of my word" more than made up for it. Awwww, he gave her Anna as a present! No flowers or chocolates for his dear Agent Bristow-- just wanted international terrorist-assassins. *happy sigh*

- And uh yeah, some shit went on with Nadia or something. I dunno, I was folding laundry during those parts.

Yeah...but what I really wanna know is why is was in the psychiatric ward! I was sure, after Charlie kept calling him crazy and looners that Hurley would snap. He almost did, but not quite...

LOL! I didn't even think of that! Cool!

I didn't write about this, because I honestly thought someone else would, but during last week's episode (which I didn't watch until Saturday), there was a flashback scene with Jin, and in the background a TV was on. Well, I noticed on the TV you see Hurley, surrounded by a huge crowd (looked like the media), and he was getting into a car. I said to Cary, "That was Hurley on the TV!" We rewound and sure enough! It was! I thought that was incredibly cool. I love how they do that in this show!

Yeah, why was Hurley in a psychiatric ward (or whatever)? Inquiring minds...

I didn't even notice Hurley on the TV in the Jin episode! Good eyes.

That's funny about the backgammon.

We noticed that they said Hurley owned a box factory - and didn't Locke work for a box factory? And also, they said something about a sneaker company. And the guy that Jin had to beat up had a factory - which is when they showed Hurley on Korean TV.

And indeed, that was him. We found this on the internet previously:

The subtitles on the TV and audio said something about him being a lottery winner who was arrested according to translations out there on the internet..

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noted the Locke-Hurley box company connection, but I didn't think of the sneaker factory thing! Curiouser and curiouser...

What's Claire's connection to another castaway, I wonder? Or Kate's, or Charlie's?

Yeah, Charlie was more than a little annoying this week. It sounded like someone broke his volume button and it was stuck at "yell". And what's so impossible about Hurley being worth 156 million dollars when so much other weirdness has happened?

Hurley's backstory was awesome. It's kinda funny that the numbers were perfect to use for the lotto. And that the last number is 42, the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Seeing the numbers on the metal whatsit, though, was pretty darn creepy.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I was shocked the last number wasn't 47. Because, well, JJ.

Flailing!Yelling!Charlie is cute sometimes, but it can be a little much. A lot much, in this episode. Hopefully the next writer will tone it down a bit.

Yeah, that's what I thought… up until he started crying. Even in the name of fucking with Vaughn's head, Sark doesn't cry. Nor should he, he is not a pretty crier. However, if we find out that he was just trying to upset Vaughn, I'll be fine with it.

Even though I'm firmly in the S/V camp, I loved the whole scene in the bar. Sark just goading everyone is great. "In your dreams, you perverted freak" was my favorite line.
