Did i miss something? What the fuck is that first post about?! I went 2 the blog the dude has posted, and he's talking about 'Never you stayed in 1º place in a running in bags of potatoes?' - i ask you, what is that about?

Anyways, ding, well done Ralph for getting that dharmalars 'cast out, you must be very proud, and will sleep well tonight after such exursions.

Scott and steve, get a podcast out already! Is it going to be a tri-weekly thing now, or what?

aimee is lost said...

I also found Ben's comment about knowing what Sarah looked like interesting. Apparently they weren't bluffing about having their life stories in that little folder.

And yeah, I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird. As Craig said, I am a machine. Or a freak. Whichever you prefer.

Ralph- said...

a freak machine!

Holy hell, the ending was so funny I almost peed my pants.

I haven't listened yet - but I am glad I didn't update to 7.02

Ralph- said...

anonymous, you should have been there. ryan could not take it anymore, he was laughing so hard. No word from Ben yet, i am wondering if he even listened to the episode or not.

aimee is lost said...

Great show guys, the drama made it even better. Tell Ben to stop crying like a bitch. Mr T would have a sense of a humor about it.

Jimmy, well done as always with the musical segment! Ralph, I'll have Kate's theme stuck in my head all week as well. Which reminds me Ralph, what were you trying to hum last night during our Skype party that came out sounding like the theme from Indiana Jones?

I finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird. I'd forgotten most of the movie since I hadn't seen it in at least 15 years or so, which made it a wonderful book for me to read. The kids have an uncle named Jack who is a doctor, which I thought was funny, and there was a morphine addict who found redemption by kicking the habit before dying. There's more, but ehhh, I'll get around to explaining it on my own blog for anyone who gives two shits about it.

Ralph- said...

I was trying to hum the Sooner's fight song!

aimee is lost said...

Oh that's right Ralph. That makes sense, because they were just playing the Sooner fight song a minute ago, so it's still in my head, and it does sort of sound like the Indiana Jones theme.

I have to side with Swayze also. Ralph was on the opposition for Eko dying, so I wasn't sure why he said he'd called it. I don't think anyone needed to "call it" anyway, because they made it so freaking obvious that it was going to be Eko.

I remember a time (cue the dreamy twinkling music) when we used to be surprised, no matter how many spoilers we managed to get our hands on. They still managed to pull the rug from under us with Ana Lucia and Libby. I would loooove for them to do something like that to me again. It sucked but it was awesome.

Mike Campbell said...

Aimee i am sure they will do it again. We all knew that Shannon was going to die then ana and libby surprised us. Fear not, those two deaths were not that long ago either. They are still a group of tricky people

aimee is lost said...

I know...sigh...but we have such a long road ahead of us - 13 weeks of waiting again!

I just really hope that the day after tomorrow blows our minds in a way that will sustain our conversations (and podcasts) for those 13 weeks. So far, Every Man For Himself has been the best episode, but none of them have been what I would call "mind blowing".

On Wednesday, I want to see Jack get shot, Kate get sharkatory raped, Ben get surgically castrated by Juliet, a cameo from Penelope in a premonition of Desmonds, and some fucking eyepatch dude going crackers on Nikki and Paulo. I want them to go so apeshit on this episode that we couldn't possibly run out of things to talk about. But you know what, I have a feeling that's not going to happen.

Ralph- said...

what if everyoone dies? that would be cool to spend the rest of the season with the others.

aimee is lost said...

What if the show ended in season 5 with the world ending, like the Valenzetti equation poopoo says? Fuck them getting off the island.

aimee is lost said...

Someone write down my previous post, and stick it in fire-proof vault for the next two and a half years. Thanks.

Mike Campbell said...

well i am pritty sure we ran out of Lost stuff this summer but had some nice conversations. I know everyone is excited about Wednesday but let me mention that GUITAR HERO 2 is out TOMORROW.

Sorry i am a video game geek and am excited for this game!!!

Mike Campbell said...

On the ABC Lost Site they have a two minute clip of Wednesdays show. Its amazingtastic

aimee is lost said...

Thanks for making me cry in my office Mike.

[ally] said...

I'm listening to the Dharmalars podcast right now and after listening to Ralph's explanation for Nikki and Paulo, it got me thinking I guess it's not that bad that they're there. I do get a kick out of their little conversations to make it seem like they've been there the entire time.

**i don't have anything interesting to say, i just thought i'd chime in**

:)

aimee is lost said...

I have no problem with them being there, I just don't like the way they were and are being brought in.

The writers, in an attempt to make Nikki and Paulo's inclusion into the main group seem subtle, came out in actuality as half-assed and cheesy. I just didn't like it. I have no problem with cheese - I love cheese - but I feel they should have gone either super-subtle by canning the snide remarks altogether, or gone totally balls deep with it. Half-assed just didn't do it for me.

Nikki and Paulo.....boo.

Ralph- said...

aimee, did the clip make you cry for someting good or something bad.

Mike Campbell said...

wait it was the clip that made you cry? i really enjoyed the clip. I can't wait to see what happens!!!

I think Nikki's boobs can stay but paublo needs to go back to golfing fruit and staying quite.

aimee is lost said...

The clip was very emotional, and I love it when the show can do that to me. It's easy to let an episode irritate you or give you some type of mediocre opinion, but to well you up with an extreme emotion; be it anger, sadness, or elation - that's just flat out good dramatic television.

Nikki's boobies are fine, but I stand by my original analysis on Nikki & Paulo. It's not so much their fault as actors, as it is the writers fault for being lame about their method.

Mike Campbell said...

I have seen a few clips of this weeks show and i am excited. Jack should be a bad ass this week.

aimee is lost said...

In a lot of our prior discussions on the blog and on the podcasts, we've mentioned how we hoped they would turn Jack around this season. I've probably ranted about wanting him to die more than anyone. I'm really glad to see them actually doing it, and I kind of don't want him to die as much as I used to.

aimee is lost said...

Jorge Garcia will be on Conan O'Brien tonight, fyi.

aimee is lost said...

Exactly! That clip made me feel like he was back, and for a second I forgot who Sawyer was.

Jimmy said...

Aimee....

At the end of the day, I think Jack is a fucking psycho who could kick Sawyers ass! Or anyone else's if he puts his mind to it. I think they have been toying with this notion for a while, and that the writers are going to have a field day with it.

Crazy prediction:

I think somehow Jack will go along with the operation to save Sawyer...but somehow see footage of Sawyer and Kate shagging and it will tip him off the edge! He will then kill Henry out of anger and get Sawyer killed or save Henry, and kill Sawyer. Or save both, but not return back to camp

Either way...I predict that Jack is going to fall into "The Dark Side", and the episode will have him becoming one of "The Others" with Juliette (who is an evil con woman) at his side. But he won't care....because he's done with always doing what is right!

Kablammo!

Mike Campbell said...

Jimmy nice theory. we shall see

[ally] said...

you're right, jimmy, that is a crazy theory...

...i like it!

aimee is lost said...

Jimmy, are you trying to piss me off? Here I am, trying to defend Jack for a brief moment in time after all my Jack-hate, show a little compassion, and you stomp all over my love. Shame on you.

Actually Jimmy, I'm all for some crazy ass poopoo to go down like that. Like I was saying earlier this morning, I WANT them to go apenuts and blow me away on Wednesday.

aimee is lost said...

By the way, I finished updating the library blog for those interested in the book guano with the Lost references I've found in them:

Ralph + Jimmy = Nicki + Paulo

yess!

I have nothing to add. but i felt i had to write something. Jesus, work can be boring.

aimee is lost said...

Tim, you need to send an email to Ralph and tell him to tell you about the thing.

That will blow your mind and jump start your brain for a few minutes, trust me.

Anonymous said...

Would you be referring to the grandest of all gatherings?

aimee is lost said...

I take it he's already emailed you then. :)

Ralph- said...

i keep to my word.

aimee is lost said...

What about word on the elusive Mr. so and so?

Jimmy said...

Once again I'm left in the dark :/

aimee is lost said...

You already know Jimmy. The one thing with the thing for the people in that place with the stuff.

Jimmy said...

I set all up with the SKYPE etc....but was late as it was getting in. Tonight, maybe, yes.

aimee is lost said...

I'll be setting up puppy junk, but I'm always within earshot of the old laptop - Ralph, you know what to do.

Mike Campbell said...

I have skype if anyone wants to include me :( :)

HAPPY GUITAR HERO 2 DAY!!!

I can only tolerate Jack Black in small doses (kind of the way Kimberley can only tolerate Borat in small doses).

Did all the americans vote today? Baby Jesus hates you if you didn't

aimee is lost said...

I found Jimmy prior to reading the post on the blog, it was an easy guess.

I voted last month (absentee).

Jimmy said...

I'm not allowed to vote, as a non citizen. I'm working on this.

That said, I'm very politically active here, so do my bit. I can tell you that I am going to sit myself in front of the tele, and watch this thoroughly tonight. Such terrible weather up here too...so it'll be a good night for it.

aimee is lost said...

Congrats Jimmy (on working on it).

I'm a refugee from the united state of Alaska, so I vote absentee from down here.

Just finished listening to the Lost Community Podcast. Not bad, but the host reminds me of the waiter from Chotchkie's in Office Space.
