10:07 PM - Lost Log: Episode 2.9
Or “All the Pretty Horses”

Blah, blah, blah, last new episode of the year, let’s get going...

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Reunions near a grave - remembering who we’ve recovered and who we’ve... um... for lack of a better word, lost.

“You’ll have to show me how to do that sometime.”
What? You mean the manual manipulation of bullets isn’t taught at your average med school? What do they teach you there?

“I love her.”
Translating Jack’s silence - I have no response for that.

Pretty Pony: Who ordered the metaphor?

Standard drunk delivery service.

“You’re beautiful.”
Though you keep saying it, she doesn’t seem any more likely to believe you.

BOOM!

LOST

You’re now entering The Greasy Spoon.

Mom? I guess everyone on the island has parent issues.

“Shannon and I were strangers…”
“But we did speak…”
“I loved her…”

- Sayid gives half of a great eulogy, though I admit, he got the important stuff.

As the islanders all drop a contribute a handful of sand: They’re getting better at the funeral thing. Of course, with all the practice and repetition they’ve had…

Patsy Cline on the turntable? Awesome!

“Why did you kill me?” – Though it may technically be a question, that’s a conversation stopper right there; especially when asked in conjunction with the choker hold.

PRESS THE BUTTON-alarm! PRESS THE BUTTON-alarm!

No pressure, Locke.

How many seconds? Only one? That wasn’t cutting it too close.

You’ve seen polar bears. You’ve heard/seen… something. Why not a horse?

“I got her!” – From what I’ve seen on this show, I don’t think so.

Your Mom turned you in? Ouch.

SNIP! I bet the actor who plays Jin, Daniel Dae Kim, is glad to be free of that accessory.

Blast door? No, Desmond didn’t get around to mentioning that.

Hmm. After last season’s Sawyer-Kate kiss, I bet someone had this scene written into their contract.

You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss. A sigh is just a sigh.

Hmm. The orientation film always plays to mixed reviews.

“I’m going crazy.”
Sayid: You see horses? I saw Walt. Who’s the crazy one?

Mr. Lawman? No one likes and amateur Freud.

CRASH! The lesson is, kids, don’t taunt and drive.

“Just don’t break it.”
Why not? That’s the best way to figure out how things work/worked.

Oh… It looks like we have dueling Mr. Faiths. This should be fun.

For the record, while I thought that was an engaging telling of the story of Josiah, it would have been quicker for him to say, “Look in here.”

Wow. It looks like Mr. Eko has a copy of the Super Deluxe Special Director’s Cut.

That’s right, Jack. Be a man. Deal with personal issues by breaking stuff.

“I’m not mad at anyone…” besides me… the moron.

Four months, minus nine, equal… Ohhhhh! Apparently, “Who’s your daddy?” isn’t just a rhetorical question.

“Why didn’t you kill him?”
“Because I didn’t have murder in my heart.”

– Did he just blame her childhood or genetics? Never mind. This isn’t the best time to raise the nature vs. nurture debate.

An hour head start? That’s love.

Aww… She still called him Daddy.

“It makes me sick.”
And good morning to you, too, sunshine.

“Are we saved?” – Not yet. We’ll see how long ABC keeps renewing you.

“What are the odds?” – On this island? Probably better than you’d think.

”Don’t mistake coincidence for faith.” – Preach it!

Best part of the episode: Sawyer’s reaction to not being rescued. “Son of a …”

Pretty pony: Look. I’m back. Will you accept me and the related emotional subtext this time, or do I need to hide in the jungle for another commercial break?

Congratulations Kate! Your reality check didn’t bounce this time.

Aww…. Jack remembered her favorite booze.

“Are you gonna try to convince me that everyone here doesn’t hate me?”
“Only if you’re gonna try to convince me that everyone woman in the world isn’t crazy.”

Message between the lines: shut up and drink.

No contacting the outside world? For whose protection? Any who clipped that portion out, anyway?

Sudden jump to happy concluding music – Guess we’re still missing some info.

PING! PING! PING!

It’s only 51:00 and the computer’s acting funky. That can’t be good.

Hello?
Me talking to the TV: Don’t tell him your name, Michael. Don’t tell him your name.

Dad?

Everyone talking to the TV: Walt!?!

See you next in 2006, folks.

LOST

What the heck is all this? Are you talking about some kind of tv show where people are lost or something?

Cory, I can always count on your razor sharp perception to cut past the clutter and get at the heart of the matter.

I don't just get at the heart of the matter, my furry little friend, I get at the heart of whatever's chest cavity I'm cutting into. Then I take a bite out of the heart and throw it at transients.

Ahh... Just like the homicidal apes in Michael Crichton's book "Congo."

That makes more sense...

Wait. No it doesn't.
