Yay, Lost is on and I'm live-blogging it like a retard

Male Jim Treacher | Category: TV

"Eggtown," huh? It's probably called that because Kate and Sawyer get all humpty before she dumpties him...

A Locke episode?

And Philip K. Dick's sales just shot up...

If you're going to smash shit up after talking to Ben, you should probably do it out of earshot.

When did Aaron get so ugly? Sorry, Aaron.

Kate's trial! Holy mackerel, she looks kind of okay, doesn't she.

What? Jin learned English overnight? Come on.

"I just... killed a chicken." [creepy smile] LOCKE RULES

Somebody call Iowahawk, because we got ourselves a Hoosegow Honey!

"You are not using my son." Okay, so Kate has a kid, and he's old enough to be of some use in a courtroom. So did she have the kid before the island or after? How long after 2004 is this anyway? And wouldn't it be awesome if the father was Hurley?

Wow, Jack's stubble does come off!

Okay, there's lie #1. Jack did talk to the marshall before he died. Lie #2: Only 8 survivors??

Did Jack have that much gray in the other flashbacks?

Backgammon! Wow, that goes back to like the 3rd or 4th episode.

Are Locke and Sawyer flirting? Somebody's been reading my slashfic!

$3.2 mil? Ben asks the obvious question: "Why not 3.3, 3.4?"

Man, Miles out-Sawyers Sawyer, doesn't he? Hey, maybe he's the father of Kate's kid!

"You're no longer welcome here." Locke is the boss of Kate!!

Kate closes and locks Sawyer's bedroom door. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaahhhhhhh...

Does Daniel have some sort of brain disease or something? He can't remember 3 playing cards?

Well, we know Sayid gets off the island, and that there's some sort of time warp or something around the island, so I don't know what the dramatic tension is supposed to be about the helicopter not being on the freighter yet.

Okay, Locke just shot back up to #1. The ol' grenade-gag gag!

Hot and cold runnin' Kate...

Who's the cabbie???

Jack doesn't want to see the baby because it's Hurley's! I am not letting go of this one.

AARON!!!!!!! Holy crap, how did I not see that one coming? Yeah, awesome. So either Kate starts taking care of him after something happens to Claire, or she straight-up steals the kid. But why doesn't Jack want to see him? And how did Kate explain how she landed on the island with no signs of pregnancy and came back three months later with a baby? How much time passed in the outside world? Last week they hinted that time goes slower on the island, so maybe that's how she could pull that off. Three months on the island could be, what, years later. But who does she say the father is?

Oh, and where did Kate's money come from? She has a nice house and a nanny. Was Sayid telling the truth about the Oceanic settlement?

So, "Eggtown." I get the "egg" part, what with Kate taking care of one of Claire's "eggs." But what's the "town" part?

And how can they even put this Alan McBeal show on after Lost? They should just show it again. I'd watch it again live, even though I've got it Tivo'ed.

P.S. Okay, how old did Aaron look there? Two, three? But they just now got around to putting Kate on trial? The whole time thing is driving me nuts...

P.P.S. Wait... Is Aaron one of the Oceanic 6?

P.P.P.S. I'm freeze-framing through next week's preview like the obsessed dork I am, and for about a second you see Desmond with shorter hair and Faraday with longer hair. Flash-forward? Is Dez one of the Oceanic 6? But he wasn't on the plane... Did he get off the island some other way? Or is it a flashback? Or is he time-traveling again? I also noticed that Kevin Durand, one of my favorite "It's That Guy!" guys, is guesting next week.

P.P.P.P.S. How funny is it that in the Island version of The Odd Couple, Sawyer is Felix?

I'm very new to Lost, but does the "pregnancy thing" Sawyer asked Kate about have anything to do with Kate's present-day son?

What is the "pregnancy thing"?

Did Jack just say "only eight of us survived the crash"? Now, again, I'm new, but should I take that as odd? (Yes, I'm liveblogging it too- I mean livecommenting)

Comment by Mark V. on February 21, 2008 6:23 PM

Ok, the kid doesn't count as one of the Six does he? He didn't even exist when the plane crashed. I mean, he existed, but as a fetus. I mean, a baby. But one who wasn't alive. I mean BORN alive.

I'm gonna stop there.

Lostpedia has a good backgrounder on the "pregnancy thing":

I'm not sure where they're going with it, but tonight's last line seems to be a big clue...

so.......Kate can't get pregnant, as she tells Sawyer no baby, and then this Aaron?

It did kinda look like him but I'm no baby expert.

Nice to see Locke stop acting like a pussy -"Sawyer, do they like like me, or just like me?"

Miles didn't seem too happy about his breakfast.

Aaron is Claire's baby. Or as she says it, "Moy BAY-bay!"

Comment by Treach on February 21, 2008 7:56 PM

I mean that the baby looked like Claire's baby.

The baby that Kate held in the yuppie palace, after hugging the fat nanny, kinda looks like a bigger version of the infant. Claire's baby.

After further review I guess it doesn't look like I said that.

I blame booze.

Probably oughta go to sleep then.

Comment by Tman on February 21, 2008 10:42 PM

Right, it's Claire's bay-bay. So Claire's... dead? Still stuck on the island?

Comment by Treach on February 21, 2008 10:47 PM

I'm guessing Kate tricked Claire into thinking a dingo ate Aaron.
