Physical Graffiti - 
by EdHIll
The lovely and talented Kat has taken a brief sabbatical for the next few weeks so she has graciously passed her duties of Lost recapping onto me. I of course am thrilled because I was getting sick of having her episodes be the ones where all the good stuff happens and then I get stuck with the lame “Charlie does drugs” filler junk. And after last weeks preview I knew this episode was going to be a good one. I was of course right. All sorts of great stuff happened this week. The preview however said that there were "five things" that were going to happen in this episode that will shock us all, but I gotta tell ya, after seeing it I wasn't sure which 5 they were talking about. Like, when Locke told the woman in the flashback that her house showed no signs of dry rot. Was that one of the five things? Who knows. All I know is it was a crackling good episode. Shocking revelations, a huge mystery finally solved, and a new one rearing its ugly head, leaving us Lost nerds emotionally spent.
And seeing as how I literally spent about twenty minutes on my hands and knees staring at a freeze frame of this episode on my 51-inch television to try and find a clue, I finally realized that no matter how much I like to make fun of Lost geeks, I am one of them.
Hey it could be worse. I could be a Scientologist.
But before we recap, a brief walk around the internerd.
I would like to give a shout out to Lost commenter USNRNPage for giving us this link that reveals in detail all the whispers that we here whenever the Others make an appearance. Apparently someone who has surround sound not only transcribed the whispers, but listed in what speaker they came from. That is some true geek awesomeness. A warning however, if these whispers are true, they are highly spoiler-filled, so don’t read if you don’t want to know.
Lost: the Musical. A parody from the Jimmy Kimmel show. Unfortunately you need the downright evil RealPlayer to view it.
The spoilerfix.com website is a great place to go if you are the kind of guy who gets the Far Side daily calendar and reads all 365 cartoons on January 1st. If you get some good spoilers from there, a warning. Keep them out of the comments, or I will be forced to make you read my Desperate Housewives recaps, and nobody wants that.
An article on MSNBC about Locke that’s somewhat interesting, including all sorts of speculation about the mystery man.
That's about it. Of course if you hear of anything interesting drop me a line, and I will try and get it in the next recap.
The episode this week starts, as it almost always does, in flashback mode. We see Locke, with more hair, looking at the wedding ring he just bought. Soon he will ask Katey Sagal’s Helen to marry him and then someday they will be Married…. With Children. HAHA! Get it!? Ahem. Locke has it all planned out. A picnic lunch with the ring wrapped in a handkerchief. As Helen goes down to read the obits in the paper over breakfast (something my mother does too for some reason) she sees that Locke’s father, Anthony Cooper, the one who stole his kidney, is dead.
