I read the spoilers, I watched all the teasers, so I though I knew what was going on, until the very end.
WTF?
But then The Lost Forum explain it for me:
Jin was in a flashback to 2 months after his marriage to Sun before the island. Sun was her flashword after the island after Jin dies by means we don’t know.
Had to use the fog lights this morning to get to work. Not that the fog lights on the Emperor are that great, but at least then I could see the road ahead of me. The first five feet of it anyway. When the fog is this thick you can get a real good idea of the sharpness of the cutoff of the projector low beams of the 2001+ Miatas. It was a slow trip in.
Via links in The Lost Forum I have downloaded the first 4 episodes of this season of Lost. I guess someone hacked into their DVRs and uploaded the files of the HDTV broadcast. Each episode is around 350 Megabytes and looks like about 640 x 360 native, which still looks pretty darn good on my PC when played full screen. I’m looking into turning them into DVDs that I can play on the living room TV instead of Donna and I having to cozy up to the laptop…
I spent the whole day wearing my Oceanic Airlines T-shirt. The seller said it was pre-shrunk, but there was a lot of shrunk still left in it. After washing it still fits, but it is a little short, so I ordered an XXL in dark blue for back-up.
At one point this afternoon I was on the couch trolling the net for Lost stuff using links from other Lost pages while Donna was in the other room on the desktop reading the Lost forums. The best find is a toss-up between a blog from Jorge Garcia the actor who plays Hugo Reyes, AKA Hurley — Dispatches from the Island or some nude images of Mira Furlan who plays Danielle Rousseau, or as Sawyer refers to her, the French Chick from a 1985 Yugoslavian movie called ‘When Father Was Away on Business’.
With nothing left to watch DVD-wise, this evening, using the laptop, resting on the dinner table between us, we went online to ABC.com and rewatched the 3rd episode of season 4, The Economist, to see what all the losties on the forums were talking about.
We bought our next 5-week Powerball ticket today. Instead of the usual quick pick, we opted to pick our own — 4-8-15-16-23-42. That’s right, we are risking the curse, which I figure in this case will be nothing more than having to share the prize with thousands of fans of the show.
On tonight’s episode of Lost we find out that the island has some strange power over the surrounding environment and every person on it. Oh, that’s right, we already knew that…
So of the “Oceanic 6” that get off the island, we now know 2/3rds of them. In the “flash forwards” so far we have found out that Jack is so afraid of something that he goes back to being a drunk, Hurley is so afraid of something that he hides out in a funny farm, Kate is so afraid of something that she is hiding and now we discover that Sayid is so afraid of Ben he kills people.
Interesting thing about watching the show on “live” TV is watching the commercials. For the longest time I figured I was the whole wrong demographic for the show. The ads skewed way young. Old Navy clothing, birth control pills, the hip new Ford car that you can talk to get it change the music playing instead of the archaic button pushing, etc. But finally in the next to the last commercial break I felt better, there was an ad for Viagra.
Speaking of Old Navy ads, was the new Urban Safari look advertised inspired by the whole running through the jungle on Lost or is that the new look and they picked Lost to sell it because of the whole running through jungle thing?
We finished watching the last 3 episodes of season 3 tonight and made a vow to wait at least 4 months before we start over again with season 1.
After we finished watching Lost I caught up with the latest episode of the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles online. Midway through there is this scene between the man that Sarah was living with prior to her jumping ahead 8 years into 2007 and his current wife (the Sarah replacement if you will.) He was trying to convince her that he wasn’t lying, that he hadn’t seen Sarah recently. The wife looked real familiar. I had seen her in something recently. Real recent. No, it couldn’t be. With a quick check of IMDB and I found out it was who I thought it was — Penny!
A few months ago some new folks moved into the neighborhood about 5 houses down. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen them out and about. Which is probably not unusual, because I’d bet they’d say the same about us.
I’m a car guy, so I noticed right off what vehicles they owned. On the side street from their house there is an old flat bed truck, which I assume is the fellows work vehicle. Some times it is warming up when we drive by on our way to work in the mornings. Her car (I’m guessing) is a less than 2-year old white Lexus IS 250. I know it is this new because it is the new body style. His car (again a guess) was a black 2006 or 2007 750i BMW. Again I it is of this vintage because of it’s toned down “Bangle-butt” rear end and that is when the “5”-liter engine was available.
German cars are known for their good brakes and part of the reason for that is the type of brake pad they use. But the down side to the pads is that in short order they turn your shiny silver wheels to dark gray then to black because of the dust they give off from use.
When they moved in the BMW’s wheels were shiny. I don’t think he ever washed those wheels in the first couple of months they lived there. Eventually they looked about the same shade of flat black as the tires. One evening on the way home I noticed the wheels were bright again.
The next day on the way home, there was a silver 650i convertible parked next to the Lexus. He washed the wheels because he was trading the big sedan in on BMW’s big 2-door ‘vert.
After a couple weeks, the wheels on the 650i weren’t even dull silver yet, it was gone. Now there is a gray 550i BMW sedan in the driveway.
Somehow I don’t think there will be a 3 series car there next. The Lexus IS is same class car. I’m betting that sometime in March there will be a black Z4M Coupe there.
