But before we get to that, let me indulge my geek tooth and see what’s the scuttlebutt around the internets. Since its been 3 weeks between episodes I have to admit I have been somewhat slack in my research. What I did find was this new podcast from ABC with interviews with cast members and the creators of the show. You can listen to it here. There’s also an interesting article in the Boston Globe entitled How Lost Reinvented Television. I would have given that moniker to Boomtown, but what do I know? If you find any internet Lost clues or websites you think are worth mentioning, you can drop me a line at EdHill@tvgasm.com. If it’s interesting enough, I'll be happy to add it in the next recap, giving credit of course. I also accept drunken pictures of Tara Reid, because that always makes me laugh. That chick is whack.

We start the show on the beach where Shannon and Vincent are getting some water. Sayid walks up to her and tells her to gather her things and follow her. Don’t worry; it’s not bad because we have the touching piano music playing. He then leads her down the beach to a hut that he constructed for her from wreckage from the plane. He might as well have put a sign on it saying "Sayid's boom boom shack", since we all know why he made it. I give the guy credit. He wants to get laid so bad he builds an entire house for just that purpose. And since the only other available woman on the island right now is the insane old French lady, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Over on the other side of the island things aren’t going so well. Now that Eko is gone looking for Michael, Ana Lucia is lost (small L). Before Sawyer can sufficiently mock her in his southern drawl, Michael and Eko appear out of the woods, but not before Michael overhears Sawyer telling Ana Lucia that he could care less about Michael. Awwwkward. When Jin comments something in Korean about his shoulder Sawyer responds “Yeah, yeah, I know Chewie. My shoulder is about to fall off.� That doesn’t sound good. But at least Sawyer is still funny.
