Everybody Hates Hugo
Quite an amusing episode. All those tunnels Saiyid is exploring are intriguing. I presume Godzilla's holding pen is down there somewhere. I dunno how healthy it would be to hang around a magnetic field *that* strong. Probably does orrible things to the iron in red blood cells. And the complex was bigger, but concreted over, Chernobyl style.
Rose! She's great in this one - and it's nice to know that these guys who've got Sawyer, jin and Michael are indeed the survivors of the tail section - including Rose's hubby. Sawyer is actually quite entertaining now, but mainly when arguing sarkily and getting put down for it.
Michelle Rodriguez is OK, but who died and made her Blake? Rules? Why does anybody go along with her? I assume we'll find out who she is before long- military or cop or something would be too obvious, but she probably is cos she always plays that sort of part.
Hey, what bunker is this that they're in anyway?
Hurley's flashback is pretty predictable again, but good all the same. It's pretty obvious what happens to some people when a friend makes it big...
So, there's a storeroom that can hold three months' supply of food, and Desmond was there for a couple of years? There are only three logical possibilities - 1) Desmond fibbed, 2) there is a bigger store buried deeper, 3) new food gets delivered (well, we know the *actual* Others, the rejects-from-The-Fog, have a boat , which can presumably transport stuff...
Good fun, though Locke was a pillock to mention the food supply to Charlie. And speaking of Locke, where did those sniper rifles come from? You'd think they could wipe out the others and get Walt back in about 24 hours...

Cameo alert. Randy, Locke's dick boss from "Walkabout", is Hurley's dick boss in this episode. I didn't realize until about a year ago it was the same character.
Some numbers: Libby says there were 23 tail section survivors, when Hurley won the lottery there had been 16 weeks without a winner, Hurley ate an 8-piece chicken meal, and when Hurley drives past the gas pumps we see pump 8 and pump 16.
I was actually surprised, as soon as she said 23 survivors, that Michael had only said "around forty or so" rather than 42 for the number of front-section survivors
You didn't give it up, did you?
This episode does have the funniest ending to an opening teaser of any LOST episode:
"You want me, Hotlips? You're going to have to come down here and get m---"
[SLAM!]
".... Bitch."
No, no - just had a brief urge to watch the Black Guardian and Dalek War Dr Who DVD sets. Normal service will be resumed this weekend!
Except Lesley somewhat scuppered that by slipping on some grease at work on Saturday night, banging her head and getting a concussion.
So, having swapped her Umberto Eco novel for Marie Claire, it may be a couple of days before she can wrap her head around Lost again...
Yikes. Hope she feels better quickly.
Lesley's OK now, thankfully
...And Found.
OK, maybe I'm getting number-paranoid - When Jin's roomie/brother is looking in the Destiny Book for omens of love, I had to pause it to see if the figures in the book would be some of the numbers- but they're all in Hangul, so I couldn't tell.
Hey, isn't the hotel manager Mr Roboto from Goldmember?!
I like Eko already. I'm going right off Michelle Rodriguez though... And who put her character in charge anyway?
Ooh, an impaled body... Hopefully we're going to see some *actual* Others now...
Still watching, so more thoughts tomorrow, but I must say Daniel Dae Kim is great, BTW, playing both versions of Jin...
The fishing scene cracked me up.
Ah, finished it - Eko's going to be stiff competition for Locke (who only a cameo, but good) in the tracking department - I wonder how Locke will react.
The basic thing of Sun's lost wedding ring was dull, but the story of how she and Jin met was great - and very reminiscent for Lesley and I of how bizarrely interconnected these things can be.

Hehe. It's happened. You're officially become a true Lost fanatic.
He's one of my favorite characters. Great addition to the show.
I kinda had that reaction to her character, too, but I've come to warm up to Ana Lucia.
Seriously, I liked Ana-Lucia too. Apart from being at times cute (surprisingly), I liked her episode(s) this season too.
I really need to get the blu-ray of season two.
Don't give up now, Lonemagpie. Your thread has made me want to buy season two just so I could rewatch it with you. 
I liked the feel of season 2 as well. The Hatch added a different dimension of WTFness to the show, plus there was all the usual flashback and island shenanigans.
But yes, Lonemagpie, don't give up yet. Without giving much away, the last third or so of the season is where it gets even better.

Season two was the show's weakest season for me. I didn't like Ana Lucia or Libby. The first third of the season promised answers but none came.
I hope finale spoilers didn't scare him off, particularly when so many of them aren't even correct.
Don't worry I haven't given up - just a) giving this forum a little break to let spoilers in thread titles drop away, and b) working every waking hour on Indistinguishable From Magic - but since that's due for delivery on Thursday, I should be unwinding afterwards with some more Lost...
