re: #304 Killgore Trout

It was a good episode but not great. I have a problem with Sawyer, they are trying to make him into a hick heart throb so he’s a pretty weak character. I like how Jin’s English varies depending on what time he’s in. It’s a nice touch. I’m also really impressed with the blonde chick who’s Sawyer’s love interest. Her character is a little weak but she’s a very good actress. I spent most of the episode trying to remember where I know the Darma leader from. I think he was the evil guard in the Green Mile. I also think he was Billy in Cuckoo’s Nest.

Guard correct. Billy Bibbit was played by Brad Dourif.

Last night episode (IMHO) was a set up episode for the second half of the season. It was a housekeeping exercise. Get everyone placed (some in 1977, some in 2009, some in ?), different “whens” same place. And now we know what the basic plot arc for the next 8 episodes, get the survivors back together.

Which, I suspect will be up to Desmond, since he seems to be special and can bounce between time lines.

It’s all like a record (the Island) and the time lines are the songs. You can only be in one time line at a time. No paradoxes.

That’s why Ben is in 2009, on the Hydra Island. Because “young Ben” is part of Dharma, circa 1977.

Did you see the statue of Nut or Anabis (I think it’s Nut)?
