Just helped my bro set up his new level of 70+ Grade 5/6 Beaumaris students on the ever brilliant 268k strong Edublogs.org. It’s not a super-encrypted Obama Blackberry, but who would want one of those anyway. But push come to shove, the big post inauguration buzz last nite, was Lost Season 5 double ep premiere (S05E1 + S05E02), which created alot of noise as the ABC digital stream for torrenters was screwed up for 2 hours, shock/horror - That said Hurley really rocked in the opening double ep of season 5 (so glad i watched season 4 of Lost after losing track of show for at least couple years)
Sepinwall : “With these episodes - really, going back to last year’s three-hour finale - the show has changed up its narrative format once again. Rather than the simple structure of intercutting events on the island with one character’s flashback, or flashforward, we now have two parallel narratives - one on the island at the end of 2004 (or did the new year begin before the freighter blew up?), the other in the real world in 2007 - that are both constantly moving forward. This late in the series, this kind of global plotting is necessary, as it allows all of the stories to advance each week, rather than waiting for, say, Kate’s spotlight episode to fill us in on what’s happening with her and Aaron and these shady lawyers (working for Claire’s mom, maybe?) who want a blood test to prove maternity. Yet despite having much more forward momentum than all but a handful of episodes from previous seasons, both “Because You Left” and “The Lie” still manage to find an emotional anchor (first Sawyer, then Hurley) so that they can feel like original-recipe “Lost” while dabbling in time travel, espionage, mergers and acquisitions, and all these other new elements.”
Previously on Lost joke that’s going around (which is very similar actually to Hurley’s explanation to his Mom about the Oceanic Six ‘lie’ : “JACK: Well, we lived on the beach, mostly, except for the time we lived in the cave with the skeletons and the time we lived in the secret underground bunker with the lending library and the time we lived in the village built by the scientists that the people who don’t age gassed to death with the help of their leader, my third nemesis, the nebbishy con man with spine cancer, which we took over when the freighter people came to kill everybody. We ate wild boar and fish, and then the supplies stashed in the storeroom of the bunker, and then the scientists who the people who don’t age gassed to death were nice enough to replenish our food by airdrop, but only once, but that was okay, because the people who don’t age had some agriculture that we completely ignored while we stood in front of their refrigerators with the doors open. And I saw my dead dad just hanging around on the island, which I didn’t think too much about because I was preoccupied with the smoke monster and the baby stealing and the mind games with the nebbishy guy and my TOTALLY AWESOME tattoo which got my ass kicked in Thailand and the power struggle with my second nemesis, the formerly paralyzed bald survivalist mystic, who was, frankly, nuts.”
