Well this is the end of the line for Lost. Well, sort of. It’s the mini season finale until the show returns in February with 16 new episodes. And what a sendoff to my TVgasm career than a cliffhanger episode of Lost? Well granted all episodes of Lost are kind of cliffhangery, but this one ramped it up a notch. We get new hints at the mystery, some twists, lots of action and Kate doing what she does best. Lying and having sex. Add canasta to that list and she and I are eerily similar in our talents. The show opens in flashback following a brunette woman walking down a hotel hallway. When she gets to her door she turns around and we see that it’s Kate wearing a hairdo that is so bad it makes you pine for her tussled “just got tortured hasn’t been washed in 4 months” hair. At least that one breathes.
Kate opens up one of the boxes she has and we see it’s a bridal veil. Then there is a knock at the door. The voice says that it’s the police but we can tell pretty quickly that they are doing one of those cutesy couple role-playing games. Reminds me of the times Lizardqueen makes me be Ernesto, the 17 year old Mexican cabana boy to her bored rich socialite. God help me if I don’t make the mai-tai just right.
When Kate goes to open the door we see that the police officer is none other than Capt. Malcolm Reynolds of the starship Serenity from the late lamented TV show Firefly. The weirdest half western/half science fiction TV show ever produced. As Kate leaps into his arms we cut to the present where she is locked in her cage. Sawyer is absentmindedly throwing rocks at the meal button over and over again. Sawyer is mopey. Kate doesn’t like a mopey Sawyer so she tries to cheer him up. But when Sawyer is mopey he is also crabby so she ends up not making much headway.
In Jacks cell he is looking over Ben’s medical file. Besides the huge tumor on is spine there is a giant black glob of ooze where his heart should be. FILTHY OTHER!! Ahem. But Jack is more interested in the tumor. As Ben looks on nervously Jack tells him straight up that his tumor is so bad that it is borderline inoperable. He then asks if the operating room they were in is fully functional and sterile. It is. Then Ben goes “OK, let’s do it.” This makes Jack laugh. “I didn’t say I was gonna do it. I just wanted you to understand how you are going to die.” Ha. Go, Jack go! “You think I trust you people?” he yells. Then Ben in his evil tone of voice just says “I am disappointed in your decision Jack.” To which Jack responds “Well, at least you won’t have to be disappointed for very long.” Oh Jack, you had me at “I just wanted you to understand how you are going to die.”
In the flashback Kate and policeman guy are basking in their post sex muskiness. During their pillow talk we find out that Kate and the officer in question are in love, getting married after a short courtship and that he really loved the way she did that thing with her pinky and his prostate. Also, Kate is going by the name “Monica” which is not the sign of a good marriage.
Back in the cell Pickett, the Other whose wife was killed and who beat Sawyer near to death, comes out to take them to work detail. He says that Sawyer “has the day off” but Kate refuses to work without him saying they are a team. Like Burns and Allen, only not funny. She is only doing this of course because Pickett is just waiting for his chance to kill Sawyer as revenge for his wifes death, even though he had nothing to do with it. That’s how Others operate. Pickett reluctantly agrees and Sawyer is spared another day.
On the main island Desmond, Locke and the random new guys are burying Eko, or at least the black crew member they hired to play Eko’s body for this episode (it’s all about residuals people). The new girl is wondering what killed him to which Locke just says an animal of some sort. When he says this he gets a suspicous glance from Sayid, although admittedly thats not something that is had to achieve. He looks suspiciously at sand. They decide to bury him there since they think the base camp has had one too many funerals lately. It might also be especailly hard on Bermnard, seeing as he is now the only surviving tailie left alive.
Locke tries to go off to the beach to get some shovels alone but Sayid insists on going with him. When he gets him alone Sayid asks Locke what really killed Eko. “Folks back on the beach call it the monster. I don’t really have a name for it” Sayid assumes correctly that Locke has seen the monster himself. Did it kill Eko for a reason? Locke thinks so, but he doesn’t know what that reason is. When Sayid asks him of they are really going ot the beach Locke says yes, but they are just going to take a little detour first.
Back in the Islands version of the Big Dig the relative calm of the backbreaking rock crushing work is broken when an alarm goes off saying there is a compound breach. Pickett gets on his walkie talkie and starts talking to someone on the other end “Well does he know? Well how the hell did she get all the way over here?” this is what’s called planting the seeds for the next part of the season. Before the conversation can continue there is an attack.
It is the French woman’s daughter Alex. Her weapon of choice? A slingshot. She had to ramp it up a notch from her last failed attempt when all she did was kick people in their shins. If the slingshot plan doesn’t work next she’s planning on flinging poo. She screams at Pickett to tell him where “he” is. Pickett tells her she shouldn’t be here but acts more as if she is a nuisance than anything else. Then Alex is brought down from behind and dragged off. AS she is being led away she screams at Kate. “Whatever they tell you, don’t believe them! They’re going to kill your boyfriend, just like they killed mine!”
Later that day as Kate is hauling her rocks Juliet comes up to her and asks her to put a bag over her head. When Kate initially refuses, Juliet says that she can help save Sawyer if she just does a favor for them. When she hears that she reluctantly agrees.
Back in the flashback its Kate/Monica’s wedding day. She is standing in front of a mirror in her wedding gown when her mother in law to be enters. She wants to give her a necklace that her mother gave her on her wedding day. Kate/Monica accepts it with a guilty look. And not the “I’m not wearing something blue” guilty look, it’s the “I’m a wanted fugitive” look. A look I know well, but that’s a long story.
At the wedding the priest is giving his little speech talking about how with Monica “What you see is what you get”. Priests are so intuitive. He pronounces them man and wife and they all walk down the aisle smiling which cuts right to Kat with a bag over her head. No its not the wedding night, its just cutting back to real time on the Hydra isnald
Kate is brought into Jacks cell on the other side of the glass. They both smile and choke back tears. When Jack asks if they hurt her she doesn’t answer. Then Kate pleads with him to do what it is that they are asking him to do. When Jack hears this he gets angry. He looks up at the video camera on the wall and screams that “We’re done here”. Even after Kate says they will kill Sawyer if he doesn’t do it, Jack doesn’t budge. Cut to Ben watching in his video room wearing his evil Harry Potter glasses looking more and more angry and defeated.
In the flashback Kate/Monica is at the grocery store when she gets a call from her husband. They do their usual cutesy newlywed banter which includes Kate telling him that it’s “taco night” and she hangs up with an “I love you”. But all is not well in Kate/Monica’s world. When she gets outside she goes to a pay phone to make a call. Before she does this she pulls out an oven timer and sets it. When the person answers the phone we see why. It’s non other than Marshall Edward Mars, who we all remember from the first season as the Marshall who caught Kate and was on Oceanic Flight 815 when it went down. And oh yeah, Jack strangled him to death. She needs teh oven timer ebcause she wants to hang up before he can trace her call.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves about TV and movies. The “trace the call” cliché. I mean it’s bad enough we have to sit through the”cat and mouse phone call” cliche with the FBI agent. The “trace the call” cliche is the one where the enemy is so smart that they know they have only a certain amount of time to talk before the FBI or whoever can trace the call. It’s used all the time as a plot device because it creates instant tension. But its total horseshit. If someone calls me from a payphone I know exactly where they are calling from before I even pick up. It’s called CALLER ID. Apparently my cell phone is more powerful than the entire FBI’s fugitive branch. Gimmie ten minutes and I can have the entire Fox River 8 behind bars. The most egregious example of this was in Mission Impossible when Tom cruise calls Jon Voight at Mission Impossible headquarters and when they have him on the phone for the two minutes it takes to trace the call, they realize that he’s calling from INSIDE the building. No one recognized that he was calling from the lobby pay phone. It took their giant supercomputers 2 minutes to figure it out. That still kills me every time I see it. Now the interesting thing about this tired clichéd plot device is that it actually used to be accurate. Back in the 60′s and seventies before fiber optics and satellites, tracing phone calls was a laborious process of physically tracing the exact pathway the call was taking .So it was used in movies. And since it was such an effective cliché, it still around, even if it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Sometimes you’ll see it done with the cheat of “He attached a cloaking tracker” type throwaway line, but on this weeks episode of Lost, they just got caught with some lazy ass writing. For instance, let’s just assume that in this Lost universe caller ID was never invented. Giant thinking fart clouds and giant electromagnetically powered islands yes, but that’s about it. How the hell does Kate/Monica know the exact time limit she supposedly needs to not get traced? She’s not an ex CIA or FBI officer, she knows nothing of police procedures. She killed her abusive step dad and went on the run. That’s it. Now she knows that the universal time limit for traced calls and can enter it into an oven timer? The amount of useless knowledge in my head is truly staggering. Anyways….
Kate/Monica pleads with him to stop chasing her. He can tell that she must have found a man and asks her “What’s his name? Does he know who you are?” Kate says that she really loves him. Then Mars makes her an offer. IF she can really settle down, he’ll stop chasing her, “But we both know that’s not gonna happen.”
Back on the Hydra island Juliet is bringing Kate back to her cell. Juliet tells Kate that she is “sorry you weren’t able to help us Kate”. But she’s obviously not sorry enough to keep Pickett from murdering Sawyer in cold blood as a few moments later Pickett brings Sawyer back to his cell, shoves him in and tells him that if he has anything to say to Kate, he better say it tonight. So when you think that Juliet is all sweetness and light and ust “misunderstood”, remember that. We must never fall under the Others spell! NEVER!
On the main island Locke is beginning the burial of Eko. We see where he was going during his “detour”, he was bringing Eko’s priest whacking stick back with him and using it as a grave marker. As he is saying a few words and palcing the stick into the ground he sees something. A message on the stick that says “Lift up your eyes and look north.” Sure it’s just a piece of scripture, but this is Locke. With him everythigns a sign and a message. So now he has a new quest. Thank god he didn’t see the other part of the stick where Eko put all his other bible quotes. Like Ezekiel 4:12-13 where it says to eat your own poop. Or maybe Exodus 21:20 where god gives rules on how to beat your slave.
Back in the cages Kate is telling Sawyer about how she saw Jack and how they want him to do surgery on Ben. Sawyer is glad that he won’t do it. This sets of Kate who then climbs out of her cell and walks over to his. She says that if she doesn’t want Jack to save his life then he can save his own. She bashes a rock on the lock and breaks it open. When Sawyer refuses to go he tells her the truth. They aren’t on their island. They are on a smaller prison island and there is no escape. This gets Kate even angrier. She wants to know why he didn’t tell her. Sawyer says he wanted her to think they still had a chance. Well, this was apparently the right thing to say because within about 30 seconds they are both naked and doing the horizontal hello in the middle of their ape cage. You can practically hear Ben furiously masturbating in his video room.
In the flashback Monica/Kate and her husband are enjoying breakfast. He tells her to look under her placement. She does and finds two tickets (on Oceanic Airlines, natch) to Costa Rica for their honeymoon. Monica/Kate starts to cry. When he asks her what’s wrong she just smiles and says “I just love you so much”.
Cut to the ape cage where Kate and Sawyer are basking in their post sex muskiness, only this one also has the scent of dried up monkey poo mixed in. Sawyer asks Kate if she really meant it when she said she loved him when Pickett was beating up on him. She doesn’t answer to which Sawyer says “I love you too.”
In Jacks cell her hears the supposedly broken intercom sputters to life. Instead of hearing his dads’ voice, or Sawyer screaming, he hears Alex telling her to try the door. Jack does and it opens. He walks down the hallway and stumbles onto the video room where he sees Kate giving Sawyer a Cincinnati bowtie. Or at least that’s what it looked like in the grainy image. They could’ve just been cuddling.
Then Ben walks in behind him “If it makes you feel any better I always thought it would be you”. Jack turns around and holds the gun to his head. En looks resigned to his fate but then jack says something surprising. “Tomorrow” he says. “tomorrow morning. First thing”. He will do the surgery, and he finishes it by emphasizing that he wants Ben’s word that he will get him off the island.
Back in the flashback Kate is taking a pregnancy test. When it shows up as negative she starts crying. Tears of sadness or joy we don’t know. Later she brings her husband some lemonade as he’s working. AS he sips, she starts talking to him. She tells him everything. She’s on the run for blowing up hr father, her name isn’t Monica and she doesn’t do “taco night”. I love you, but I can’t stay” she says as she gets up When Kevin gets up he looks weak. Kate says she had to drug him because she didn’t want him to lose his job. He then collapses on the ground and she weeps over him. When she’s done she then grabs one of his hands and makes it looks likes his picking his nose and puts his other hand down his pants and leaves.
On Hydra island, Jack is prepping for surgery with Juliet as an assist. Before Ben goes under he asks Juliet if “Alex asked about me”. Juliet says no. They brought her home last night. Did Ben raise Alex? She broke into the work camp and they just sent her home? Where is home? The other Island?
Once the surgery starts Pickett then makes his move. He grabs another Other and goes off to kill sawyer. When one of them tells them that Ben is already in surgery Pickett just says “Ben just but his life in the hands of one of them. Shepard wasn’t even on one of Jacobs list’s.” Ahh yes, the lists. That the tailies found on the dead Others bodies in season 2. But who is Jacob? And what are the lists supposed to mean? We all know that they select people they think are “worthy” but how do they do that? And why did they give Michael another list to bring Jack, Kate and Sawyer?
Outside Pickett interrupts the lovers embrace by dragging Sawyer out of his cage while Kate criers and pleads with him.
Cut to the O.R. where Jack is operating. The tension is building. Juliet keeps eyeing him waiting to see if he will do what she asked him and let Ben die. When he reaches for a scalpel he pauses and then does something. The beeping heart thingy starts beeping faster so the beardless Other starts to look concerned. Jack says that he just put a small tear in his Kidney sack and unless he repairs it, Ben will die within the hour. “Now get in here and bring the walkie talkie.”
Outside Sawyer is being forced to his knees. He tries to struggle at first but Pickett says if he does he’ll kill Kate too. When Sawyer hears that he gives up and gets ready for the inevitable. Right before Pickett pulls the trigger he looks at Kate and says “This is for Colleen you son of a bitch”. Man, I am so glad Sun killed his wife. I hate the Others. Right as he is about to kill him he hears his walkie talkie. Its the beardless Other telling him to give the walkie talkie to Kate or Ben dies. When Kate gets the walkie talkie, jack tells her that she has only a few hours to get away. When she gets safe he wants her to call him and tell him the story he told her when they first met. She screams that she can’t leave with out him, meaning Sawyer probably but Jack thinks she means him and says “Yes. You can.” When she protests one more time Jack screams “Kate, dammit, run!” and we cut to dark.
That’s it That the end of the episode. While I was hoping for more of a wow like reveal that would have everyone buzzing until February I guess this will do. Will they get away? What will the Others do to Jack after the surgery? What will Locke find as he goes North? We’ll find out in 84 days.
And now that Lost is “Lost” for another 13 weeks I have a brief announcement of my own. After much consideration I have decided to move on from TVgasm. It’s been a lot of fun and a great run.
I would like to thank Joe and Ben for giving me the opportunity to make so many glorious cooter jokes. They were the crusty Charles S. Dutton janitor to my “five foot nothin’, a hundred and nothin’” Rudy Ruettiger. But most of all I would like to thank the readers. From the die hards who post in the comments and in the forums (people like Lizardqueen, BJHicks, OD-TV, Tink, etc. ), or the thousands who just anonymously read them for the chuckles (Dick Clarke, Bishop Desmond Tutu, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Jesus). You guys have been payment enough. While I didn’t always say it, I appreciated every compliment you ever gave me. And cursed the day you were born every time you corrected one of my spelling and grammar mistakes (Your, you’re, who really gives a shit?!).
I’d also like to thank The Academy. My agent Morty, everyone at Paramount, Our wonderful Producers Joel and Ethan Coen. My beautiful Co-star. Uma, you’re dazzling! But most of all I would like to thank L. Ron Hubbard, who gave me the courage to follow my dreams!
Hmm, wait, that last part is from my Oscar Speech. Anyways, Thanks for everything. It’s been fun. Auf wiedersehen!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot:
Cooter! Cooter! Cooter!

Worst news ever! Screw the recap…. I’ll miss you!
That’s a bummer, EH! But I understand. Best of luck to you.
EdHill –
it has been an honor and a pleasure to have read your recaps and laughed at your jokes as well as your spelling. Thanks for the email address – be on the lookout for these cool chain letters that I have been saving. I hear Bill Gates gives away money and everything.
From the bottom of my cooter…Hail and Farewell Sweet Prince ~

My heart is breaking Ed. No one will be able to match your wit and typos when it comes to Lost. They’ll all be midseasonreplacements compared to you. Great recap as always. I too want them to kill those filthy Others.
I am so said. First they kill of Mr. Echo and now we wont hear from Edhill anymore!?! I almost have no reason left to watch lost anymore. Edhill, your recaps were well they were the best, almost better than the show it self. You will be missed.
“…Kate doing what she does best. Lying and having sex. Add canasta to that list and she and I are eerily similar in our talents.”
LOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLL f ing hilarious. please don’t leave. i would have quit this show long ago had your hilarious recaps not brought me back every week. good luck ed, i miss you already.
well thank goodness we’re hiring all those midseasonreplacements.
Wow… Your exit speech was just about as shocking and tearful as a “Lost” cliffhanger. Bravo. I wanted to say thanks, EdHill, there was a time when I had a boring desk job and Tvgasm got me through, especially all of your recaps. Typos, spelling errors and machismo charm, you will be truly missed.
Please find someone other than Kat to recap Lost please.

Damnit, I was one of those anonymous readers and you recaps have been the best. And you’re leaving. JKVLDMAKFLDJSIOGHDFDHIA. Have fun post-TVgasm, maybe you’ll post some hilarious surprise recap in 13 weeks. Seriously, this is a loss. A freaking loss.
This is terrible! I’m so sad at this news EH! I really loved reading your re caps. You are very talented,type-o’s and all. I will miss you. Take care
Good bye, Ed. I really will miss you (and your typos.) I just wish I’d gotten to know you better.
And remember…I kid because I love.
oh man the suprise of you leaving ed, completly stole the shows thunder lol. Loved your recaps, cant count how many times I actually laughed out loud in public while reading them.
PS I loved your long rant on the “tracing phone calls” problem.
As for lost.. There are 2 things I have a problem with from this ‘finale’. One if Juliet wanted Ben to die, why would she even care/listen to Jack after he already did the damage to kill him.
Two-Kate leaping over and breaking the lock with a rock..and then having sex right there on the spot with Sawyer.I thought that was LAME and unrealistic.
It was a pretty bad way to end the show, really wasn’t that much of a cliffhanger. I sorta expected more since we will have to wait for a longer time
Is this an appropriate time and place to tell everyone that I won’t be posting anymore Hi-larious recaps or Food Network insult posts either?
What? You forgot about me? Sigh.
Oh well, I’m done too (Officially). Peace.
What? Why to both of you?
What? Why to both of you?
edhill,
There is a place out there…somewhere…that will pay you handsomely for recaps of Lost and Project Runway. Vanity Fair? New York Times? Journal of Foreign Affairs?
It will happen. Just keep us updated.
Sorry to hear you’re/your going EdHill. I’ll always think of you when I hear the word “cooter.”
Thanks for the recaps, EdHill. We will miss you!
This place will not be the same without your wit and charm. I’ll will always think of you when they trace a call.
Cooter, cooter, cooter…
You bum! Tell us that you’re just taking the 13 weeks off and will be back when Lost comes back! And what about Project Runway?!? Damn, now my cooter is so sad. Miss you already.
Yea…tracing calls takes like, half a second. None of this two minutes business.
I cannot believe you are leaving. I just…it won’t be the same.
EdHill, can’t you just take 13 weeks off and come back when Lost does? Aren’t you feeling the love from everyone?
Speaking of the 13 weeks, this mini-season was a disaster. They should just do it the way 24 does, and start in January.
That filthy Other Danny makes me angry. Why exactly does he GET to kill Sawyer just because his wife died? And why does everyone act like that’s just acceptable? And why was Evangeline Lilly wearing that dreadful wig in her flashbacks?
EdHill – Auf’d??? I can’t believe you’re leaving… you were my favorite writer on this site. Please tell me you’ll come back at some point. Project Runway wouldn’t be the same without you.
Anyway, good luck sir and thank you for all of the laughs.
Awww… It sucks to see ya go Ed. But if you’re gonna be happier doing something else.. then I wish you the best!
As for the Lost Finale. I was a bit disappointed in it. I LOATHE Kate, and her absolutely pointless flashback really pissed me off. I really wish the show would just kill her off already, but I know they never will.
Anyways.. I still love Lost.. but this season has been kinda disappointing. I just hope it picks up a bit more when it comes back.
Aw, man, EdHill… How can I feel so superior again without your typos? Watching Lost will never be the same without being able to read your recaps afterwards. I will miss the witticisms and funnies that made me laugh so hard. Peace out and have a great life.
sg-dub, I will miss the pics of Baby-dub. What a cutie!! Please come back to visit and post updates of new pics!
Shit. 80% of the reason I watch “Lost” every week (on my DVR, never live) is to know just what the hell your snarky comments are all about. Now you’re gone. Quitter!
OK, you must have gotten a job in the real world that demands more of your time. Maybe you’re secretely marrying Evangeline and moving to Hawaii. Whatever you do, I wish you the very best. “Lost” will never be the same without your recaps.
sg-dub is gone, too? WTF? Are we gonna be left with Umnata and Tabloid Baby? Happy trails to you, podnah. Until we meet again.
I had all these things to say about the ep and the recap but now my heart is just too sad. How could you leave us?
awwwww….
Edhill, this is so sad. Like everyone has said, your recaps (and typos;)) make every episode of Lost and PR better!!!
I had just gotten my mom hooked on your recaps! She is in the Lost archives and cannot stop talking about that “witty Edhill.” YOu will be missed!
EdHill, as soon as I read in the first paragraph that this is your farewell, I jumped down to the comments to wish you best of luck in your future endeavors and thank you for all the laughs. I hope you’ll join us mere mortals as a ‘Gasm reader/fan and that maybe from time to time we’ll be able to enjoy your snark here in the comments and/or the forums. Take care.
Well if you must know, me and some familiar friends are going off on our own and starting our own website.
WTF is happening at TVGasm!?! Why are EdHill and SG-Dub leaving?!? And please tell me that BertKerns doesn’t have anything to do w/all these changes!
As far as Lost goes…I was a little let down w/their alleged cliffhanger. I think we were all led to believe we were going to have a tvgasm at the ending and I was left…unsatisfied. I guess I am (unfortunately) used to being left hanging in the gasm department – hee hee hee!!
Don’t pick in Umnata, I like his recaps!
Well…that’s it. I’m throwing myself off a bridge. Cannot continue without EH. DAYAM!
Thanks for all the kind words people. But never forget: I am better than all of you.
Jinger, BertKerns is a parody. And a brilliant one for that matter. I jsut wish I knew who it was.
on a personal note i’d like to thank EdHill… if he hadn’t “threatened to shoot twelve nails into his head” I would’ve never gotten into the tvgasm fold. So thank you EdHill for giving me Wisteria Lane and Damn you … for giving me Wisteria Lane
PS – for no reason whatsoever Jinger is now my favorite TVgasm reader…
EdHill…..how will I survive without your snarky recaps? The whole Lost experience is completed with your recap.
You will be missed. I wish you and sg-dub the best and cannot wait to check out your/you’re (hee hee) new website.
BTW, loved the midseason finale! I like mad Jack amd Kate and Sawyer were verrrrry HOT. All the Others are evil. I’m tearing up now and can no longer think about the show….already miss ya, EdHill.
This place won’t be the same without your witty recaps. I too, enjoyed every minute and appreciate your time and effort. Good luck, and I’ll be seeing you.
BTW Umnata, I’m a fan of yours.
Oh EdHill, yes, I get the hole parody thing but strange things are afoot at the Circle-K lately and I need to blame someone so I pick bertkerns because he bugs me! I can’t help it, I got that whole Scully/Mulder conspiracy paranoia thing going…what can I say!?
Umnata, you had me back when you were Eddie….
Did anyone else notice that EdHill let slip J-Unit and B-Side’s real names in his farewell? Joe and Ben definitely doesn’t have the same mystique, does it?
P.S. I’d do “taco night” with Kate anytime!
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no! Say it ain’t so!
Best of luck in your new endeavor, guys. I’ll be looking for ya, if only so we can have another CT happy hour
.
TVGasm won’t be the same without you.
Sorry to hear you’re leaving, EdHill.
That said, this was one lame ep of Lost. I found the part where Sawyer revealed that they were on Craphole Alcatraz, followed by some serious making out to be almost as aggregious as the phone trace bit.
EdHill rocks BAWLS! Talk about midseasonreplacements… they will never find another person to fill your shoes! Hope to see you soon!
NO! I was so excited to see the Lost recap up, but this sucks. No lost, no pr, no edhill?, no sg-dub?
Please let us know where to find you–very sad—so sad I almost feel like working….
So sad EdHill, you will be missed.
Perhaps we should all give the midseasonreplacements a shot. It’s possible we will like them as much if not more than the characters we already know. I’m just sayin’
Wow, EH and SG, well, I wish ya’ll well. Are you going to let us know of your new site? that would be sweet!
hardly@work:” so sad I almost feel like working….” HAHAHA I know the feeling. ‘almost’ being the operative word there.
JasonR, all I could think of when I read “taco night” was taco blocko… Eating tacos has been totally ruined by visiting this site!
Sounds like someone’s got a major case of stickittothemanitosis. Let me set the record less askew. Ernesto the Mexican cabana boy is supposed to bring Mojitos. That’s why EdHill always ends up being whipped and berated. When we play valet and Japanese Empress, that’s when I want Mai Tai’s. And Scorpion Bowls? Well, those are breakfast. At any rate…
Don’t cry for EdHill, Argentina. He coming soon. To a blog near you.
Victoria, you are right, why does Pickett just get to kill sawyer and all the Others just kind of shrug their shoulders as if they have no control over it.
OK, back to everyone missing me….
EdHill – I lurv you. (Sincere apologies to LizardQueen, but Ed has righted too many wrongs for me not to express my true feelings)
Ed when you go to a different blog do the ladies get to hit the reset button on who gets to be your beloved commenter?
EdHill I have been reading your recaps for awhile but never posted about them. I will miss your recaps. Sometimes they are better than the episodes themselves!
I was disappointed by the cliffhanger. It really didn’t leave me on the edge of my seat anymore than any other episode of Lost. Personally I am more interested in an upcoming episode in February. I was reading an article in a magazine a few weeks ago (Pretty sure it was Entertainment Weekly) that mentioned Juliet’s character is going to shoot someone, leaving everyone around her shocked. Now that would have been a proper Lost cliffhanger!
EdHill, I’m crushed! Now who’s going to do all of my Lost research for me? Every recap that you wrote made me laugh out loud.
Good luck to you in the future, you will be missed!
Sorry, EdHill. No you MAY NOT leave. I still re-read your “ding dong the bitch is dead” re-cap weekly to laugh all over again. (Ana-Lucia as FEMA director; Sawyer as Foghorn Leghorn.) This news SUCKS. Your recaps are gold.
JasonR, I picked up on the names too. I love googling people and finding out more about them. To J-Unit and B-side, we know who you are now! Still loving you, even though the mystique is gone. But you are doing that yourselves anyway now that you allow your image to be seen on Tvgasm.
Well, if you guys really like Lost mysteries, there is still a hidden joke in the recap that no one has found yet.
It’s a good one.
C’mon! You can’t leave.
Who else can make me laugh at ‘giant thinking fart clouds’?
That ain’t right.
i would think this is big enough news to go in the lost section, no?
