lost diary - 03-21-07 - Why Locke was in a wheelchair

First off, last week I had decided that I had given up on lost. After countless episodes of 'blue cheese' that always involved slow motion, bad synth music and 'thank god we're together' looks, i decided the show had finally and completely sold out. This was helpful because that would free up enough time to watch real world. Sadly... lost sucked me in for one last round and low and behold.. it was really good.

I know what you're thinking... "That's just relational non-suckage.. fucking lost has been awful for the last 3 weeks(arguably this whole last year) and now that a reasonably OK episode has come on, you actually think it was good."

I get that.. and yes, that is a very good explanation. Regaurdless, I would like to go into a few highlights.


for ince... there's talk of a magic box!
i always thought the only magic that came out of a box was in my pants... but no.
now it's on a soundstage in hawaii too. ridiculous line of the week: "it can create anything you want. you just have to think about it and it's there."

2. jack is so hot when he plays piano.... goddamn i love that man

3. The others supposedly have a submarine! HAH! Ben lets the others believe that they have the freedom to leave the island, which ironically keeps them from leaving.
true in so many ways. freedom begets complacency. when people realize they're not free they rebel.
bam!

4. goddamn jack's hot.. he's talking to kate all sexy-like... HE's GOING TO COME BACK FOR HER... yessss.... tap that shit biatch.

5. locke is going to blow up the submarine?! no no and no. this just reitterates that locke is the person who orchestrated this whole shpeal from the beginning.
WHAT IDIOT WOULD BLOW UP THE ONLY THING THAT COULD GET THEM OFF THE ISLAND?!
the leaders.. that's right.

6. flashback for locke... his dad killed a kid who discovered he was an asshole. locke gets a visit from the cops.. finds out kid is dead... goes to see daddy... daddy throws locke out of an 8 story building. duh...

7. BEST PART ALERT...... how did locke get out of the wheelchair? why is ben still in one?
dharma = truth in nature
living a natural life produces amazing things? like unbreaking your back?
ben living a surburban life while trying to pretend its natural limits his ability to take part in the magic box. (in my pants)
lastly... doesn't this just point out another very important point.. if we try and restart humanity and return to the point where we're not conditioned by society, we inevitably end up creating the same thing we have now..
you can't just take the surburban out of the man.. kids.

er.. i'm late for work..
i'll figure out something more legible later
BAM
