Nailing The Triple Lindy

LOST Thoughts: Dr. Linus

So Ben, Locke, Arzt and Alex ALL happen to be among the faculty and student body at the SAME school?!? What’s it called? Black Rock High??? Their mascot just HAS to be the Polar Bears!
I have a feeling we might see a few more familiar faces pop up on campus in subsequent episodes. Perhaps the school’s stud jock is none other than Walt (if he’s not on the Chess Team).
And who better to teach Geometry than Radzinsky? There’s no doubt that Trigonometry is already fully covered by Horace.
I thought it was kind of strange that the Principal wasn’t a familiar figure from the island. I guess Widmore must be the district’s Superintendent. If Ben would have just finished off his coup to overthrow Reynolds, I could definitely see him and Widmore having a Skinner-Chalmers relationship.
I wonder who would be the Groundskeeper Willie of BRHS? Based on his rough brogue and wildly unkempt facial hair, my money’s on Charlie Pace.
For guidance, nobody would make a better Counselor than Daniel Faraday, whose own Mother happens to serve as the school’s stern, but brilliant, Music teacher.
Speaking of Moms on campus, we learned that Rousseau has to work two jobs – one of which just might be…Lunch Lady?
Whether working on A/V or the Yearbook, the school’s Journalism students are in good hands with program advisor Pierre Chang.
Despite demonstrating a natural gift for bus driving on the island, We know off-island Hurley is too already busy as a temp agency and box factory mogul. So who else might be qualified to transport the kids to and from school? My guess is none other than Frank Lapidus. (“We’re not going to Prom, are we?”)
OK, I did have one off-campus thought this week: Was I the only one surprised to see Widmore surface in a submarine? I’ve always had him pegged as a bathysphere guy. In fact, this could be a clue suggesting that the key to this entire mystery just might be found in the seemingly cryptic lyrics of an old Rush song (no, not “Jacob’s Ladder,” as Doc Jensen and Dan Snierson have theorized): “You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice / If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice / You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill / I will choose a BATHYSPHERE, I will choose free will.” LOST SOLVED!!! What do I win?

What if LOST was Baywatch?

I found this quite amusing…

LOST Thoughts: Sundown

Sayid seemed surprised to discover The Temple was actually being used as a filming location for the martial arts epic “Enter the Dogen.”
Speaking of Dogen, I’m glad his fixation on the baseball was finally explained, because I was starting to wonder if it was autographed by Hideki Matsui or something.
So, how long after you kill somebody IN The Dirty Hot Tub of Eternal Life do they come back from the dead…or DO they???
Did everybody catch that blink-and-you-missed-it cameo by Dr. Jack at the hospital? I wonder if we’ll soon find out that Dr. Juliet is also working at the flash sideways St. Sebastian.
Is it just me, or has the role of Miles been reduced to generic status update guy? Seems like all he ever does anymore is play games to pass the time between requests from major characters wanting to know what’s been happening while they were gone. At least he’s delivering these updates in true Miles style (“Crazy Aussie chick’s back, but she’s still hot.”).
Excuse me, Claire, but while you’re down there do me a favor and PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!
What are we to make of a Korean hit man being bound and gagged in a walk-in refrigerator? You guessed it…it’s COLD JIN TIME AGAIN! (apologies to Mssrs. Simmons and Stanley).
As enjoyable as it was to see Keamy finally get his come-uppance, I can’t help but wishing it would have been Ben pulling the trigger. Sure, Ben’s a despicable a-hole and all that, but he’s OUR despicable a-hole.
I have a theory about why Sayid’s plunging of the dagger didn’t kill The Locke-ness Monster: Sayid is now inhabited by Jacob, who can’t kill The Man in Black.
When everyone in The Temple was running through the halls in a full panic, I almost expected Ilana, Lapidus and Sun to pull off The Smoke Monster’s mask and for him to say, “And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids!!!”
