Every Man For Himself (S:3,E:4)
"Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own. But after they come to work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry."
1) I'm going to get Desmond out of the way so I can focus on the other stuff. Desmond shows us more evidence that he can see into the future. He asked Claire to move her lodging, and when she refuses and Charlie attempts to act manly, he builds a lightening rod with a 5-Iron. The lightening rod attracts the bolt of lightening. Charlie has a look of amazement, as he stares at Desmond. I expect Charlie to confront Desmond about his power. It also seems like Desmond knows he can see into the future. In the previous episode, it seemed more like an accident, when he told Hurley about Locke's speech. My favorite line (Hurley): "Is that art?" I don't know about you guys...but that rivaled the "Dude, you got some Arzt on you" line.
2) Paulo seems like an arse so far. That was either a Brazilian soccer shirt he was wearing, or I need to adjust the color on the TV. Desmond's line about being Sco'ish was great.
3) Ok...so we get a little more info on James Ford's (Sawyer's) background. They've been trying to soften up his character to us since season one. We have to remember that not only did his mother cheat on his father (and Sawyer could be someone else's kid...namely Locke's father's, making him Locke's half-bro), his father killed Sawyer's mother and himself when Sawyer was a young kid. That's gotta do some permanent psychological damage. Sawyer has a good heart, it seems, but he has this need to be hated. Trauma like that can cause someone to think that they were at fault or they are not good enough, therefore they don't deserve anything good in life. A form of self-torture. The guy finally comes into some legit money, and what does he do with it? He leaves it all for his daughter. The same daughter who he refused to accept in front of the mother (Cassidy...the girl he pulled the Long Con on, and who is responsible for Sawyer being in prison). Guess you can say he does care for the child. The complexity of Sawyer's character makes him, if not the most, one of the most interesting characters on the show. Oh...and..."Dear goo goo gaa gaa"...LOL
4) I said from the beginning, there is no way they put a pacemaker in him. Here's some info on pacemakers: Pacemakers are electronic clocks, which send a small current through a lead to stimulate the heart beat. There are two components to a pacemaker. The generator is the battery and the electronics. It is a small metal can, which is sealed. The generator is placed under the skin below the collarbone. It can be placed on the right side or the left side of the chest. Attached to the generator is one or two wires called leads. The leads travel through the veins to the heart and carry the small electrical current to the heart muscle. A pacemaker is usually implanted under local anesthesia and sedation. A small incision is made under the collarbone and the generator is placed under the skin in a pocket created above the muscle. The lead or leads are passed to the heart via a vein and placed in the right atrium and or right ventricle. Source: http://www.cardioassoc.com/patient_pgs/procedures/cardiapace.asp
5) Kate, much like Sawyer, lives life like she doesn't deserve anything good, but strives to make things good for her and those she cares about. She says she doesn't love Sawyer...but it's hard to say. I wouldn't put it past her to lie about that. She doesn't want to let anyone in. It's one of the most common defense mechanism in our society today. Don't let anyone in...you won't get hurt.
6) Wasn't the bank that Kate robbed in her flashback in Albequerque? She saved Clementine's money from being stolen, didn't she? See...she's already taking care of Sawyer's kid.
7) When Benry takes Sawyer to the edge of the island, and does the "Con the con-man" bit, did anyone notice something white (like Desmond's boat) flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen in the water? I haven't had a chance to go watch the episode again, but will report on this later.
8) Did you guys notice the cartoon that Jack was watching with the buzzard and the little swans? That was one of my favorites back in the day. In the end, a baby Daffy Duck is adopted into the family of swans. We saw the book Of Mice and Men ("Which way did he go, George, which way did he go?"), and this cartoon is the Ugly Duckling with a twist (since Daffy actually is a duck). I wonder how either of those will parallel into the stories.
9) So, the intercom system works. Did Jack really hear his father? Did the island bring his father back to life?
10) Alright...so did Benry say something about a Sub when he went to get Juliette? That's what I thought I heard.
11) We see Jack being taken to where Colleen is. They cover his head and turn on the sirens. It was hard to tell if he could hear Sawyer and Kate or not.
12) Jack saw the x-rays of the spine as he was "scrubbing in". I totally forgot that he's a spine surgeon. He didn't seem like he was trying too hard to save Colleen, but then again, he said later on that she would have died anyway. After that...he pulls Juliette closer and tells her that he's a spinal surgeon, and that he noticed the x-ray was for a man ~40 with a tumor on his spine. "Who am I here to save?" Any doubt that it's Benry? Slightly.
13) Can't wait to see the next episode. Here's a screen-cap of the alien or eye-patch dude. http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?album=1191&pos=19 Wasn't that on the TV in the Pearl station? Wasn't that the same TV that saw into the Swan station? I thought it imploded. I guess since there were 9 screens in there, it must be another hatch. That episode is called "The Cost of Living"
God...please don't let this show be about aliens. I just might have to stop watching. Hopefully it's an eye-patch...it would explain the glass eye they found last season.
