LOST Thoughts: The Candidate
May 5, 2010
- Didn’t it seem weird how hospital bed Locke responded to Jack’s claim that he may be a candidate? It’s almost like Locke subconsciously knew the island meaning of that term, as it applies to Jacob’s replacement.
- The only thing more shocking to me than seeing Anthony Cooper as a drooling vegetable was the fact that I couldn’t muster up any satisfaction that the heinous bastard finally got what he deserved. There’s just something about seeing a person in that state which makes it impossible to harbor any ill will against them.
- It was deja vu seeing Kate and Sawyer locked up once more in their Hydra Island honeymoon suite. When the cage is a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’! Adding Sun and Jin to that same cage brought things perilously close to being a key party.
- I found it interesting that given the opportunity to attack Widmore’s camp, The Smoke Monster only bothered with killing henchmen and didn’t go after Widmore. It must be another one of those deals where they can’t kill each other, just like Ben couldn’t kill Widmore that time he broke into his apartment after Alex was murdered.
- At Ajira Airlines, bombs fly free!
- “Smoooooooke IN the waaaaaaater, Locke knocked off the dock…”
- Sawyer’s bomb disarming skills are about on par with those of MacGruber.
- As sad as it was to see Sayid blown to smithereens and the Kwons plunge to their watery grave, I’m actually going to have the hardest time coping with the apparent demise of Lapidus and his endless supply of flawlessly-delivered one-liners.
- Now that Jin and Sun are sleeping with the Dharma sharks, who will raise little Ji-Yeon? I sure hope it’s not her grandpa, that awful Mr. Paik!
- It was very disturbing to see Hurley blubbering on the beach. If he’s lost hope, things really do seem doomed.
CUBAN SNIFFLE CRISIS!

It’s going to be another long offseason of pouting and whining for the Mavs’ tantrum-throwing owner, thanks to the soon-to-be five-time World Champion SPURS! Suck it, Cuban!!!
A Magnificent Day at The Ballpark
April 29, 2010
Today’s the first Rangers game I’ve gone to in a couple of years, and it simply could not be a more spectacular late spring afternoon here at The Ballpark.
It’s the middle of the 4th, with the Rangers leading the White Sox 2-1. Let’s play two!BUDENHOLZER FACE!

As a Spurs fan, the only thing more worrisome to me than the sudden mid-series resurgence of the Mavs is the seemingly chronic case of constipation being suffered by Spurs Assistant Coach Mike Budenholzer…
LOST Thoughts: The New Recruit
April 21, 2010
- It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I have no recollection whatsoever of Burt Reynolds being in The Lawnmower Man.
- Come to think of it, the only thing separating LOST from a Burt Reynolds movie is the presence (or lack thereof) of Ned Beatty squealing like a pig.
- As Desmond was luring Claire into his lawyer’s office, I correctly guessed his lawyer would turn out to be none other than Ilana. That makes me roughly 1-for-867 at such guesses since the series began.
- I’m anxious to hear the reading of Christian Shephard’s will. I hope he at least left the wetbar to his widow.
- When Sun was being wheeled into the hospital and expressed dismay at seeing Locke immediately to her left, was she “recognizing” him as The Smoke Monster?
- There has to be some direct correlation between Sun (and her unborn baby) both surviving the gunshot wound and her being reunited with Jin on the island. I hope she isn’t about to take another bullet – this time at the hands of the world’s surliest and most homicidally-inclined geophysicist, Zoe.
- Right after Jack walked the plank on the S.S. Sawyer, I thought for a brief moment there that Kate was going overboard to join him.
- Call me crazy, but I have a hunch that Sayid just might be fibbing to The Locke-ness Monster about killing Desmond.
- I found it very interesting that The Locke-ness Monster admitted to Jack that he had previously taken the form of Jack’s Dad. In upcoming episodes, he will also admit to posing as Boone, Eko’s brother, Hurley’s bald pal from the looney bin, Frogurt, Vincent, and Dogen’s baseball.
