Lost: Everybody Loves Hugo

Libby: "Being here with you feels so familiar, like a date we've never had."

I feel like I need a degree of some sort to figure out what happened in this episode. The big question is what sort of degree. Psychology? Physics? Egyptian history? Parapsychology?

Lost: The Lie

Ana Lucia: "Oh yeah. Libby says hi."

This episode was worth it for the Ana Lucia surprise ghost cameo alone. And I loved everyone carrying Sayid around, sort of like the Lost version of Weekend at Bernie's. Even Jack carried Sayid. And Jack discovered that waking Sayid is something you do very carefully.

Lost: The Beginning of the End

Hurley: "I'm one of the Oceanic Six! I'm one of the Oceanic Six!"

When we last left our heroes, Charlie was dead. Locke killed Naomi, who didn't stay dead. Desmond killed Mikhail, who didn't stay dead. And we were all confused by the shift from flashback to flashforward. Looks like we get to stay confused.

Lost: Tricia Tanaka is Dead

Sawyer: "I'll be damned. Y'all found yourselves a hippie car."

Not every Lost episode has to be dire and full of angst. Hurley-centric episodes are never my favorite, but they're always amusing and this one made me laugh out loud a dozen times. The meteor strike had me howling. And the scenes with the guys and the van were fun.

Lost: Dave

Hurley: "Did either of you see a guy run through here? In a bathrobe, with a coconut?"
Charlie: "No. But I saw a polar bear on roller blades with a mango."

Okay, show of hands. Who knew that Dave was an imaginary person right off the bat? Wow, that's quite a few hands. I think they could have been a lot more subtle. This episode was way too cloying and predictable... right up until the shock ending.

Lost: Everybody Hates Hugo

Jin: "Everything's going to change. Have a cluckety cluck cluck day, Hugo."

Episodes like this one are why I love this series. All those interactions among the characters, wonderful flashbacks, and such a touching resolution at the end.

Lost: Numbers

Hurley: "She says hey."

So now the crash is Hurley's fault. How very interesting.
