Tricia Tanaka is Dead (S:3,E:10)
1) I have to say, I laughed more during this episode than I've laughed at a LOST episode in a long time. My favorite scene had to be the meteor hitting the Mr. Clucks that Hurley just bought. The scene where Sawyer yelps and says there's a head in the back of the car had me rolling on the floor. My favorite line is when Hurley runs up and hugs Sawyer when he sees him for the first time and Sawyer says, "Well I missed you too, Snuffy." Sesame Street fans can only understand that. And Skeletor?! That was it. Maybe I'm the only one that finds these things funny. Who knows?
2) So...back to the plot. Looks like the numbers are linked to death. Tricia Tanaka is dead, so is Hurley's grandfather, and the dude that fell from the window when Hurley was visiting his accountant. I have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure his accountant (in season 1) talked about another one of Hurley's businesses burning to the ground. However, he keeps getting richer due to insurance payments. I wonder if the insurance companies will do an investigation due to all of his mishaps. Another character linked to death is Walt. Animals that he is linked to (comics, pictures, etc) end up dying or getting killed. His mother died. Only question I have surrounds whether it's the numbers, or Hurley, or the combination of the two that are linked to death. The original numbers guy died too.
3) Hurley's father isn't the only one to tell Hurley to make his own luck. The lady he visited in Australia said the same.
4) Speaking of Hurley's father, it was great to see Cheech Marin in that role. What's next? Tommy Chong is Paulo's father? It was a nice touch to see that Hurley kept the Camaro that he was working on with his father. And, the Apollo Chocolate Bar was a nice touch. Speaking of Paulo and Nikki we're getting close to the episode based on them.
5) Looks like Kate put 2 & 2 together. She told Danielle about Alex. This was inevitable. "Slingshot Sally" (another Sawyer nickname) and her mother will be reunited. This should be interesting, especially with Alex believing that Benry is her father. Will there be a struggle for Alex to accept it, or will she know? I forget the psychological term, but it's that thing where a mother and child can be seperated at birth, yet they can meet 20 years down the road, and know. Should be interesting to see how soon that happens. There is supposed to be an episode based on Danielle's flashbacks during this season. I expect that one to be the episode where they re-unite. It isn't for a while though.
6) Regarding the car, it makes sense that it would be there. Forgetting the lack of a road, and the plans that Sawyer found for the construction for roads, there could be enough flat land for a car to get around. Heck...there could have been a dirt road, and the foliage could have grown over it. It was (or looked like) a VW Bus with the Dharma symbol on the front. Of course, there were some things that were strange. Popping a clutch at that speed will give you whiplash, or the tires will lose traction unless you pop in 4th or 5th gear (I don't think those had a 5th gear). Neither happened. Rule of thumb though, is to pop the clutch in 2nd.
7) Some people have noticed a super structure in the background to the right of this image of the map that Sawyer found in the car. And on this map of the Swan Station.
8) Next episode is titled "Enter 77" and is based on Sayid's flashbacks.
