Eu estava meio que 100% confuso com os acontecimentos, então resolvi dar uma fuçada nos sites que falam de Lost. Aí que veio um holofote no cérebro (by Jeferson, aka polenta): a história do Jin foi em flashback ("ano do dragão" - 2001) e a da Sun foi em flashforward. E isso foi muito bem explorado, muito bem encaixado na história. Agora faltará saber o que houve com nosso querido Chewie, se ficou na ilha, se morreu no confronto (?) com o pessoal do barco, se caiu um côco na cabeça dele...

Então amiguinhos, é isso. A série nos deu algumas respostas e nos deixo mais dúzias de perguntas na mente. Espero que até o final sejam respondidas.

See ya.

SINOPSE: Juliet é forçada a revelar algumas novas e surpreendentes informações a Jin quando Sun ameaça se mudar para o acampamento de Locke. Enquanto isso, Sayid e Desmond começam a ter uma idéia da missão dos tripulantes do cargueiro quando conhecem o capitão.

Sneak Peek 1

Sneak Peek 2

Now that The Wire is gone, Lost is killing everything on TV. I'm back in the zone.

Just in time for another painful bout of hiatus withdrawal!

Great.

Now it's freighter time. You know what that means. The freighter. The chopper. Jeff Fahey.

It's like live-action M.A.S.K. Okay, not that good, but good. After the Annoying Couples Edition that was The Other Woman, we've earned us some Ji Yeon, Lost fans.

Keamy shouts to Frank and asks if he's ready. Yeah, says Frank. "Don't be late, Frank." I just said I was ready! Damn. This boat is high maintenance.

Frank goes downstairs and runs into Kate Hudson's ugly cousin, a.k.a. Regina.

She's guarding Des & Sayid, and Frank's here to feed them. He's also here to point out that her book's upside down. "You know your book's upside down?" She huffs, puffs and turns it right side up. Strange chick, but I'm sure she'll turn out just fine. Let's recap, shall we?

So Frank gets by Regina and walks in with his brown paper bag. Sayid wants to know why they're being held captive. Turns out the captain is none too pleased about the whole sick bay breakout/radio room incident. But Frank, we thought you let us out the room! "Why the hell would I do that?" Frank can't get in touch with the beach or anything like that, but he can get you a can of lima beans.

"Lima beans?"

What, no Manwich Night? "Sorry, we had a little problem with the kitchen. Just stay put, alright?"

"I still want to talk to the captain," insists Sayid.

"No, you don't," says Frank. And his face suggests that, no, Sayid don't.

What's up with the captain? Maybe he's just a hater.

Back at the beach, Jin and Sun hang. Sun's like, remember the whole, go-to-the-freighter, come-back-to-the-island thing? Shouldn't that have jumped off by now? Jin 's like, Whatever, let's kiss. He also wants to talk about baby names. Sun doesn't, it's bad luck - no jinxing the baby! For real. The island already has more jinx than G.I. Joe: The Movie. Jin doesn't get the hint.

Like Jin, but a girl. Great. How about just Jinx Yeon? Sun offers him a deal: let's get off the island first, pick the name second. Hand shake. "Deal."

Cut to just Sun. She's off the island. As she packs her toiletries and puts on lipstick in a hotel room, she is struck by pain. She calls emergency services. She's pregnant and thinks there's something wrong. Uh oh.

After the break, we join frantic Jin as he hurries through the streets. He rushes into a toy store. He looks anxious.

And that's the end of the episode! See you next week for the Meet Kevin Johnson recap. No, wait...there's more. The weirdo shopkeeper asks him if he needs help.

Yes, actually, I needs help with a panda. See that panda? Gimme dat, says Jin. "Would you like it gift wrapped?" In a hurry, friend. How much? "Fifty thousand won." Jin tries to pay and skedaddle, but this guy wants to make small talk about whether it's a boy or a girl. Jin doesn't know. "Don't worry. Everyone loves a panda." If it's cold enough! Then Jin gets a call on his cell and bounces.

On the island, Kate babbles to Sun and Jin about what's been going down: getting knocked out by C.S. Lewis, finding out about the poison gas factory, how Juliet lied to jack and called the Tempest a power plant. Snitchin'-ass Kate. So are they going to rescue us or what, asks Sun. Kate says she's heard the freighter gang talk a lot of ying-yang, but she hasn't heard any talk of rescuing them. Sun's not feeling that.

Meanwhile, Des is catching Zs while Sayid eats beans in their makeshift cell. Des awakes. "Good morning," says Sayid. Desmond returns the sentiment. They're good roommates. Sayid puts the half-eaten beans down with disgust: "I hope they resolve their kitchen issues." Yes, that's the top priority right now, Sayid.

Suddenly, someone slips a note through the vent in the door.

"Sayid, what's that?"

"It's a note."

Sayid tells Desmond about Ben's spy on the boat. The note says "DON'T TRUST THE CAPTAIN" in big, blocky letters.

Back on the Island of Dr. Faraday, our favorite time-traveling physicist is fixing the phone. Sun stops by to chat.

"Hello. My name is Sun."

"Hi, Sun. Hi. My name is Daniel."

"Something I can help you with?"

"I'm two months pregnant."

"Oh, you're...wow, that's...congratulations."

"So you're here to rescue us?" Get him, Sun! Mama don't take no mess. Daniel searches for words in the ol' brain database and comes up empty. "It's a simple question, fam. Are you or are you not going to rescue us?"

"Thing is, uh...it's not really my call, Sun."

"Then whose call is it?"

Daniel's silence and pained expression tells her there's some shady business going on, and that's all she needs to know. "Thank you," says Sun.

Over at Jack's Breakfast Nook, Jin asks for the cereal in English. He's working on his English, see. Who cares? Jack and Jin make small talk. Jin says Sun's been teaching him, and Sawyer, too, although "Sun is...better." I bet, says Jack. Jack needs to put Sawyer down to feel better about himself. Then Sun shows up, and she and Jack talk about her pregnancy for a hot second, then Jack's like, "That's cool, if you need anything let me know PEEEEACE." Thanks, Jack!

Sun's not feeling the vibe. Sure, this camp has a lot of doctors, but the paint is peeling when the chips are down. Time to handle it Sun's Way. She tells Jin what he's gonna do: get our stuff, some food and meet me in twenty minutes. Why? What happened?

This is a mission, not a small-time thing. It's good to have Gangsta Sun back.

After the break, we watch sun rummage around in a tent for medicine. Juliet busts her. "What are you doing?" Sun plays the cute, helpless card and says she needs more prenatals. Juliet knows something is fishy. "What happened to the last bottle I gave you? There should be twenty left."

No more Mrs. Nice Sun.

"Please, just give me the vitamins."

Juliet counters.

"Where are you going, Sun?"

"I'm going to Locke's camp, son." They argue back and forth. Sun doesn't trust the freighterers, Juliet says she'll die on the island, Sun's skeptical, Juliet says she should trust her and get this: Sun says, "I'm going to do what's best for me and for my baby, because no, I don't trust you."

Then this happens.

Sun goes hard for those pills! Talk to the ponytail.

Cut to pregnant Sun being wheelchaired into a hospital. The nurses recognize her.

So Sun gets off the island. This much we know. The nurse gets Sun into a bed and takes her jewelry off, which Sun resists, particularly the ring: "No! Not my ring!" Maybe the ring is her constant?

"I don't know about that yall."

Yeah, it's a stretch. Point taken, Brit.

So Dr. Bae comes in. He's on duty for Dr. Park.

Away at a conference, my ass! My ass, away at a conference. Glad you two are acquainted. This guy's shady.

The shady nurse gives her a shot. The doctor looks extra shady. Is there something wrong with the baby? That's what Sun wants to know.

What's wrong? "I don't know yet." Shady like a leafy treed backyard of shadiness.

The doc wants to know if they should call anyone. "Just get Jin...my husband."

"I'll try to reach him." Wouldn't bet on it.

We join The Adventures of Jin and Panda, already in progress. Jin hails a cab, then takes a call without getting in. Bad move. Dude takes the cab. Dude #2 runs over the phone. Dude #3 takes the cab! Jin goes off on the guy as he pulls away.

Ha, he called him a bastard.

Whoa! Easy, killa.

Yes, finding him will be an essential step towards killing him. Nice caveat.

That was fun.

Back to the store for a replacement panda. But the guy at the counter has some bad news - no more pandas.

Yeah, except for the one right behind your shoulder. Who would trust a man wearing that vest?

"That one is on hold." Yeah, right. How much for it? "It's already paid for." Hmm.

Wait - he's got an idea!

Yeah, what about this crappy dragon that makes annoying sounds? Jin's like HELLLLLLLLLLLS no. He puts hella money on the table. Put it on the table! Still no Bill Burr fans? Too bad, it's a funny bit. So Jin gets his panda with a smartass remark - "Don't lose this one" - included at no charge.

What's going on with the panda, people? The panda seems like a black-and-white symbol if I ever saw one, but I don't know if -

"Stretching again. Stay in your lane and just do the recap yall."

Will do. So back on the island, Juliet tries to veto Sun's departure for Locke Wonderland. She wants to talk to Jin and tells Sun to translate. Sun's like Hellllls no. Juliet keeps talking to Jin anyway, in words he can't possibly understand, pressing that her life is in danger. Jin's not slipping. "Wherever Sun go, I go."

Juliet says, "Sun, please." Sun doesn't give a what. Then...wait for it...wait for it...Juliet says, "Jin, your wife had an affair."

What?

"What?"

"Sun was with another man."

Wow!

"She thought the baby was his."

Sun approaches Juliet.

Then Sun slaps the hell out of her.

Jin realizes what's going on, if he didn't already know. He's out. Later, Jin! See you after the break.

We catch up with Jin back at the beach, where Sun tries to open the lines of communication. "Jin..." Good start. "Talk to me. Let me explain. It was a long time ago. Look at me." She understands he's mad, and she has no excuse, but wants to explain. Then, out of nowhere, Bernard shows up.

"Hey, you going fishing? Mind if I tag along?"

Jin agrees - to everyone's surprise - and they ride out for some fishin' time.

It's a nice break from the stress of panda shopping, Sun's adultery and all that. Bernard says, "Hey, homie. You realize we're the only two married guy on the island?" Jin doesn't get it. "Married." Jin gets it. "Well, not to each other, my dude." Jin understands this already.

Bernard tries out some of his new standup routine: "How about this marriage thing? You ever notice how decisions take twice as long cuz ya gotta talk THEM in to it? Know what I'm saying, Jinbo? Who out there is married? Are there any Others in the crowd tonight? Give yourself a hand! Glad you could make it."

Then, Bernard brings up a weightier topic: "Rose...has cancer." Jin turns.

Bernard continues. "She's sick, dying. Well, I mean, she was dying. She says she's better now. She says it's this place, the island. But when the camp split up, I was sure she'd wanna go with Locke. Why would she wanna leave the island and risk getting sick again?"

"Then why do you stay with Jack?"

"Because it was the right thing to do. Locke...is a murderer. See it's all about karma, Jin. Do you know karma?" He's like, Yeah son, everybody know karma. "You make bad choices, bad things happen to you, but you make good choices, and then good - " At that very moment, Jin catches a fish.

Okay, time out. I think this is all a lure for the "Lost is about good and bad and karma" crowd to fall for. It's not about karma, is it? It's about electromagnetics, time travel, time warps, can they change the future, what's past and what's future, what are Ben's powers, how is Walt connected, what does Widmore want and how do they get back after Jack says "We have to go back" - if they do go back? Or isn't it. I digress.

Bernard helps bring in the fish. "You see, that's karma. We must be the good guys, huh?" Not if you're a bunch of irradiated time-twisting freaks who risk destroying the entire universe. Probably good guys, though.

On the freighter, Des is pacing. There's an annoying sound. Des wonders aloud why they can't just fix that annoying sound. Right after we eat this delicious can of lima beans! Sayid says, "You think someone's doing that?" Yeah, that's what Des thinks. Then the doc comes in.

"The captain would like to see you now."

Finally! Let's get back to the M.A.S.K. stuff. can the freighter transform? Does the chopper turn into a motorcycle? What about hidden skid lasers?

In what is my biggest disappointment of 2008, there's no chopper. "Where's the cool helicopter?" asks Sayid. No helicopter either. Turns out someone's running an errand, possibly to the island. And Kate Hudson's cousin is back. She's covered with chains! She climbs to the top of the boat and jumps off!

Cannonball!

They yell for her. Then some dude yells. It's the long-awaited captain.

"Stop! It's over. She's gone."

So they let Regina die. Cold! Bloooooded! And that tells us a little more about the captain we're about to meet.

"I'm Captain Gault. I suppose you two have a few questions."

About 3 1/2 seasons worth.

"So what can I do for you?"

"What?"

"You boys said you wanted to speak with me."

Sayid starts with the woman jumping and no one saving her. Yeah, what's with that? "I didn't jump in, or order my crew to jump in, because I didn't want to lose any more people."

Desmond's turn. What exactly is going on here? "Some of my crew have been dealing with what might best be described as a heightened case of cabin fever. I think it's got something to do with close proximity of the island."

Sayid's turn. Why not turn around then, boy boy? "I tried. But we have a sabatoeur on board, and he's done one hell of a job on my engines." Pause. "I've got my crew working around the clock to repair them." Sayid goes in for a followup: And then you'll take our people home? "Then we move to safer waters. Those are my orders." Sayid totally steals another of Desmond's turns: Don't suppose you'll tell us who gave you those orders?

"Sure I will: Charles Widmore."

Desmond's turn, finally: This is Charles Widmore's boat?

"Oh, that's right. you know him."

Down below, Captain Gault leads Des and Sayid into a room. Now he's asking the questions.

"Do either of you know what this is?"

Sayid knows. "It's a flight data recorder, otherwise known as a black box."

"That's exactly what it is. Now here's the funny thing. This black box comes from Oceanic Flight 815. A salvage vessel recovered it from the bottom of the ocean. It took a considerable amount of Mr. Widmore's resources to procure it. It was found with the wreckage of the plane along with all 324 dead passengers. That's not the complete story, as you are well aware, Mr. Jarrah, given the fact that you're standing here, breathing.

Yup. He's standing there, breathing. Do go on!

"The wreckage was obviously staged. Now, can you imagine what kind of resources and manpower go into pulling off a feat of that magnitude? Faking the recovery of a plane crash? Putting 324 familes through a grieving process based on a lie? But what's even more disturbing, where exactly does one come across 324 dead bodies?"

Des doesn't know. I don't know either. Go on, Sherlock.

"And that, Mr. Jarrrah, Mr Hume, is just one of the many reasons we want Benjamin Linus."

Interesting! We'll be revisiting this topic.

Back to Juliet and Sun. No love lost between these two. Juliet says, look, you don't trust me, fine. But we all need to get off this island. "I need to go home. So do you." Then Juliet lays it on thick about the whole island-nausea-coma-death-pregnancy-death-baby-death-die-baby-dead thing. Sun makes a face that suggests she'll think about it some more.

In the hospital, Sun's giving birth. No Jin yet! A dramatic pregnancy scene ensues. It's a girl!

Now we're on the freighter again. It's nighttime. The doc takes Sayid and Des for a walk, asking them what they thought of the captain. Who cares! Let's get to the good stuff.

"I think you'll like this room, it's on the quiet part of the ship."

"This ship isn't moving."

"Well, if you say so." What's that supposed to mean?

It's a lot smaller, appears to be infested with vermin and sports a big, head-bashy, bloody stain on the wall. They sign the lease anyway. Location, location, location.

Ray calls out to the janitor. "Hey, Johnson, is that you? Johnson?"

"Yeah?"

"Mop this up."

"Sorry, I gotta go up on deck."

"No, you're gonna mop this up!"

From a distance, the janitor looks like he could be Michael or Walt.

Up close, it's Michael!

Well, sort of. "Kevin Johnson." Awkward introductions ensue, but for now, it seems like the secret's safe. And Michael is back! Somebody give him back his son already!

Back on the island, it's nighttime. Sun is in her tent. Jin enters with plates.

"I made dinner." Wow, says Sun, I thought you left me. She wants to explain, but Jin says it won't matter. But there's more. Jin breaks it down: "I know why you did it. I know the man I used to be. Before this island. I withheld my affections. And I know that whatever you did, you did to that man. His actions caused this. So I forgive you." Wow! Jin is the man. "So I will go to Locke's camp with you."

"I don't want to go there anymore."

"Why?"

"Juliet was very convincing. We have to get off this island. These people have a helicopter, we have to try." Yup. Jin's all in. Just one little question, honey, and cut the crap this time: "Is the baby mine?"

He says that line in English. Why English for the most sensitive question? And where did he learn that one, anyway. Did they find a hatch that gets Maury?

Sun says "Yes" with her face, then "Yes, Jin" with subtitles. "I swear the baby is yours." Is it? Do we know for sure? They express love for each other and stuff like that. Sounds kind of romantic, except the whole thing has an ominous pall about it, and I don't like where this ep is going.

Stop! Panda Time!

Jin finally gets to the hospital with the gift. He's like, Yo, I'm Jin, I represent Paik Automotive, got a panda for the Ambassador's grandchild, what what. "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"A boy." So the panda's not for Sun, if that's what you were thinking. It's a gift from Mr. Paik, who wants to do business with China. The ambassador likes it: "Tell Mr. Paik I'll holla." Jin catches his breath and walks out. A nurse is surprised he's leaving so soon, but he tells her it's not his baby. "I've only been married for two months."

What's going on?

Cut to Sun, who puts her wedding ring back on and finally gets to apply lipstick. Someone's at the door. It's Hugo in a suit!

Sun is happy. "I can't believe you came all this way."

"You kidding? Is anyone else coming?"

"No."

"Good. So...where is she?"

Sun takes him to the baby.

"She's awesome." Heh. Hurley's afraid to hold her, but Sun makes him.

"Wow, she looks just like Jin."

"Yes, she does."

"So, I guess we should, like, go see him."

"Of course."

It's graveyard time. Sun takes her baby to the grave and tells Jin about the birth. It's very sad. We get some shots of the tombstone, which probably have some secrets hidden in them.

"Jin, she's beautiful. Ji Yeon. I named her just like you wanted."

It's a sad scene. Not much to say about it other than that. Unless our eyes deceive us, Jin's dead, and that's sad.

"Really sad yall."

I know.

"Got any Adderall?"

Nope.

And that's it for Ji Yeon! The only antidote for the sadness of the ending is the awesomeness of the trailer for Season 4, Episode 8: Meet Kevin Johnson. Check it out. We'll also have this week's sneak peek video clips from ABC, so stay tuned to Lost Recaps for all the updates.

And don't forget to catch up any Season 4 recaps you might have missed, like The Other Woman, The Constant and Eggtown. Not to mention The Economist, Confirmed Dead and The Beginning of the End.

See you soon!

O sétimo episódio de Lost vai ao ar nesta quinta-feira a noite lá nos EUA e no Canadá. Aqui há quem pense que ainda demora a chegar, pelo menos no AXN. Uns não aguentam a espera e partem para a busca do download.

Fenômeno já conhecido por todos nós, afinal todo mundo sabe que lá pelas 2h da manhã já é possível achar o link do vídeo para baixar em fóruns, sites e sites de relacionamentos como o orkut.

Neste último os locais são até específicos. Comunidades especializadas como a Lost e a Lost Brasil, liberam os links minutos depois da exibição americana.

Há ainda os servidores de arquivos como rapidshare, mega up-loads e afins. Sem esquecer dos sites de torrents, como o mininova.org, que apresenta várias opções de seeders.

Ji Yeon e recapitulações

Mas vamos falar sobre o que passou, antes de falar sobre o que está por vir. No episódio anterior, o do flashback da Juliet, houve toda uma expectativa (pelo menos de minha parte) quanto ao final do episódio. Isso pq os produtores da série queriam que ele finalizasse a quarta temporada, caso a greve dos roteiristas fosse muito longa.

Disseram que o final do sexto seria legal pq deixaria a série com uma gancho para a continuação da história. Eu não vi nada demais e ia ficar puto se o quarto ano terminasse sem me dizer, pelo menos, quem são os seis que saem da ilha. Coisa que vamos descobrir hoje a noite.

SPOILERS -  Tipo, nem é muita novidade, vai... Acho que mais pistas sobre quem sai da ilha é impossível. O nome do episódio já deixa certas coisas implícitas a meu ver - mas posso estar enganado. Enfim, quero ver com meus próprios olhos.

Uma coisa que me deixa sim muito ansioso é a caixa preta do avião! Vamos ouvir falar dela no cargueiro, onde Sayid vai descobrir como Charles Wildmore armou uma mentira gigantestca envolvendo a morte de mais de 300 pessoas.

Abaixo um pedaço do diálogo entre Sayid e o Capitão do Cargueiro, só para deixar você curioso:

"... Dá para imaginar os recursos e o poder de alguém que cria uma mentira deste tamanho? Forjar os destroços do avião, colocando 324 famílias em uma situação dolorosa por conta de uma mentira... E ainda mais perturbante: onde alguém consegue 324 cadáveres?"

Interrogações por aí também??? Várias aqui... Só para dar uma relaxada na tensão, os protagonistas do episódios, Jin e Sun, vão falar sobre mau-agouro, o futuro deles e de sua prole, discutir o nome da criança (que também dá nome ao episódio) e sobre as aulinhas de inglês que o coréia tem com sua esposa e com Saywer.

Com o Saywer deve ser na base Instituto Universal Brasileiro, já que o cara mora no acampamento dos outros agora. E falando no acampamento dos outros, é para lá que Jack vai. Será que ânimos irão se exaltar?

Só vendo para crer!

You can also watch the official ABC trailer for Episode 7.

And don't forget to check out this week's recap of The Other Woman (Annoying Couples Edition) and previous recaps of The Constant, Eggtown, The Economist, Confirmed Dead and The Beginning of the End.

Enjoy!

But don’t get your hopes up. After all, s04e06 is a Juliet episode, and the running theme is annoying-ass couples, which can only mean one thing…

"Hey friend! Are we late?"

No, right on time actually! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our guest recappers for the Annoying Couples Edition of Lost Recaps: Mad About You's Paul and Jaime Buchman.

"Thanks! Good to be here! We don’t get out much anymore."

Well, to be frank, we blew most of our yearly budget on last week’s guest recapper, so you were our only option. No offense.

"None taken. Just let Murray know where we are so he doesn’t get worried."

Um, okay, will do. So how will we know who's writing?

"You won’t. That’s the fun of it. We’re both at a keyboard and we’ll take turns typ -"

Okay, okay, whatever.

So Juliet is this week's star of the show, and her hair is flashbacktastic.

A brunette walks into the room. It’s Harper Stanhope. And just like that, we meet Annoying Couple #1: Juliet & Harper's foreheads. Time for two bad attitudes and near-expressionless foreheads to go tete-a-tete.

And we've just barely scratched the surface. It's Others therapy time! Let's go.

Juliet doesn’t think she needs therapy, but she probably do. She doesn’t like being treated like a celebrity, doesn’t like being the center of attention, isolated, alone, yadda yadda yadda. Harper says, "Well, maybe you feel that all eyes are on you, honey. But you’re not a celebrity, sister girl. And soon enough, you’ll realize that your curly blonde hair doesn’t make you any better than the brunette psychiatrist lady."

"Oh, I know, I never meant that…"

There’s a knock. It’s Tom! Ben wants to see Juliet, so this session is over. "Welcome to the island," says Harper. "I don’t like you at all," says her body language.

Juliet leaves her extremely flexible therapy session to find Ben has a special gift for her – her very own house. "Welcome to your humble abode," he says. And welcome to Annoying Couple #2!

"Welcome to your humble abode." In addition to the flowers, he's picked out a collection of opera, TiVo, the Clapper, the Magic Bullet…Ben went all out for this two-bedroom, two-bath beauty. But I’m only gonna be here for six months, says Juliet. "Right, of course," lies Ben, "But we want you to feel at home."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Now Sun’s helping Juliet on the beach, and Jack shows up looking for Charlotte and Faraday, cuz they're stuff's gone. Jin saw them go into the jungle. Well, why didn't ya tell me, says Jack. What’s the big deal, Jack? You said they were friends? No time to talk, time for Jack Mode! Grab the torches and let’s go run around the jungle, just Jack-Modin’ it.

Yup.

Juliet, who I think is supposed to be sexy this week, hears the infamous jungle whispers all around her, and suddenly – it’s Harper!

"Hello, Juliet. Long time no see."

LOSSSSSSSSSSSST.

After the break, we're right back at it with Annoying Couple #1. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to deliver a message from Ben. The two people you’re looking for, Faraday and Lewis? They’re headed to the Tempest. And if they figure now to deploy that gas, then everyone on this island is going to die."

"Why don’t you stop them?"

"Because Ben wants you to go."

"How can Ben possibly know where they are when he’s a prisoner?"

"Ben is exactly where he wants to be."

"How am I supposed to stop them?"

"By pointing a gun and pulling the trigger." Island Weirdness a Go Go! It's a good thing Botox is water-resistant.

Then Jack shows up. "Hey! Who are you?"

Whoa, Jack can see her, too. Didn’t see that coming.

"I’m an old friend of Juliet’s. I just told her where the people you’re looking for are headed. Maybe you and your gun can go, too."

Then Jack hears the whispers, turning around to look for their source. And just like that, poof! She’s gone.

Cut to Juliet crying in her lab. Sucks to live on this island, huh? She hears someone in the supply room. It’s Goodwin!

He burned his arm and is looking for gauze. Juliet helps him out. Goodwin knows she’s Burke, the baby doctor, and heard Henrietta just died. But he’s like, Don’t worry about it, no one expects you to stop pregnant women from dying overnight. Tell that to Henrietta’s family! He suggests she talk to a friend, maybe Harper, but Juliet says no, Harper sucks. "She’s my wife," says Goodwin. Boy, is Juliet’s face red. But Goodwin doesn’t seem to care about his wife, not with that curly mess of hair in front of him.

"Much obliged, Ma’am. I know this place can wear on you, but if you need to talk, I’m around."

"Good to know. Oh, um, if you promise not to tell your wife what I said about her, I won’t tell anyone that you lied about how you hurt your arm. I know a chemical burn when I see one."

"You got a deal. Oh, by the way, I’m Goodwin."

"Juliet."

And so goeth the nascency of Annoying Couple #3, Juliet & Goodwin.

"God, that was cute, the way they met like that? Reminds me of when we first met. We were at a newsstand, and we were both trying to buy the Sunday New York Ti-"

Okay, that’s great, guys, but let’s try to stay in the moment and keep recapping this episode of Los –

"No, it was so great, seriously, you gotta see it, it's like the best newsstand scene in any show ever. Just watch it!"

Um...huh. Wow.

Who said you were allowed to add videos to the post, Paul and/or Jaime Buchman?

"Sorry. No one had ever embedded a Mad About You video before. We saw a chance and took it."

That’s understandable, I guess. Still not sure how two fictional characters would be able to do that from a technological standpoint, but there’s no time for all that right now.

Back on the island, Annoying Couple #4, Jack and Juliet, argue about going after Annoying Couple #5, Faraday and Lewis. Juliet tells him they’re headed for the Tempest, an electrical station that powers the island, but that’s all she’s saying. Jack tries to find out more, but she’s not in the mood. "What I need is for you to help me. Will you help me?" You can tell she picked up some good mindjitsu from Ben, because it works, and AC#4 goes after AC#5.

Meanwhile, AC#5 is having troubles of their own, as Dan expresses second thoughts about ability to do what he gotta do. Charlotte says, "Dan, look at me. I’m creepy! I mean, I know you can do this. We should get going."

And then Kate shows up Charlotte’s about her to shoot her, but Dan’s like, Nah, she’s okay.

Kate starts to ask questions, and Charlotte starts to make crap up. She says the sat phone went dead, but Kate sees it in her pocket with its light on. Don’t look dead to me! Kate turns to Dan and asks him what’s in his bag, which he shows her – just as Charlotte brings the hammer down on that broad!

Dan looks at Charlotte, who shrugs and says, "What?"

She don't give a what, that's what.

We rejoin AC#4 on their little mission. Jack asks Juliet what the deal is with Harper. Old friend? "Not exactly. She was my therapist." Therapist? "It’s very stressful being an Other, Jack." Boo hoo. She tries to change the subject by generalizing that Jack must have stuff from his past he’d rather not talk about. Yeah, you read them all in my file, snaps bitter Jack. "Trust me, Jack, you don’t want to see my file," retorts Juliet.

Now Juliet’s at her microscope while Ben pretends to listen, but is really just checking her out on his Annoying Couple mission. She tells him how the white blood system plummets and the immune systems be turning on the fetuses and stuff. No word on the cause yet, just what we already know, that it only affects women who conceived on the island. Zzzzzzz. Ben puts his hand on Juliet’s. Gross!

Gross!

And who pops in but Goodwin. He’s got egg salad on rye for Juliet, which is probably AC#3 code language for coitus. Ben’s no dummy. He stares Goodwin down like a tiny John Lithgow. Stare, Ben. Stare!

No time to dwell on that. It’s time for AC#1. Harper asks Juliet what she thinks of Ben, but more importantly, drops the bomb: "I see you and my husband have become friendly." Oh yeah, he’s great, really helpful. "When did you start sleeping with him?" Juliet thinks of a good way to parry. I don't know, the first time we had sex, I guess? Juliet tries to weasel out of it, but Harper don’t take no mess. "I know. I followed you…watched you." Freaky deaky! Juliet is so busted. Coitus codes can’t save you now, girlfriend.

"I’m sorry."

"It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you listen to me and believe me. Now if you continue to have a relationship with Goodwin, there will be consequences. I don’t want him to get hurt."

"I would never hurt him."

"I’m not talking about you, dumbass! I’m talking about Ben."

God, so many annoying couples, who can keep track?

"I think I’ve got it. There’s the blonde and the brunette's foreheads…then the shrimpy guy and the like this blonde...then that handyman guy and the blonde…then there’s the guy from Party of Five and that other one, and that crazy redhead and the guy from Saving Private Ryan and...who else. Honey?"

That was a rhetorical question.

"Ah. Mea culpa."

But whose culpa is it? That's what I'd like to know. Stupid unattributed Buchman quotes.

Finally, we encounter a significantly less annoying couple: John Locke and a rabbit. He’s cutting into some delicious, bloody animal meat.

Mmmm. Some people are grossed out when they see where meat comes from, and I understand and respect that. But I personally find it quite appetizing. Claire’s not fazed either. She persuades Locke to move on from the revelation of whose boat it isn’t, and think about whose boat it is. Seriously! Even Claire knows that.

But no time for those two. It’s Annoying Couple #6, Locke & Linus! Yes, time for some bitchy banter with the boys.

"Rabbit today?" Ben’s the worst person ever to cook for. Locke’s not taking the bait, he’ll be back for the dirty laundry. But Ben wants to fight, because he gets off on that sort of thing. "So has the revolution begun yet?" And just like that, Locke’s back in the room for some tete-a-tete.

"What are you talking about?"

Talking that ying-yang, playboy! What you thought it was? Ben rags on Locke for having no plan – whereas he "always has a plan."

Locke: "Does it involve you raising 3.2 million dollars? That’s a lot of money. Wait, I think this will get you started."

"A dollar? That’s not much help. He’s still got practically 3.2 million dollars to raise."

It was sarcasm.

"Oh. Forgive me. She didn't know it either, by the way."

A-HA! I've broken the code. You're both to blame. Honestly, have either of you watched Lost before?

"Nope. Not our cup of tea. Not our steez."

Right. Great.

So Ben makes his case to Locke that he can help. "We have shared interests, or at least a common enemy." Who, the freighter peeps? "Not them…the one they work for." Say word? "Word. Let me have my freedom, sleep in a bed, eat with utensils, watch Making the Band 4 and I’ll tell you all types of good stuff." Locke ain’t taking his word for it, so Ben stands up in dramatic fashion.

"Alright then…I guess I’ll have to show you."

Yes, show us!

But when we come from a break, we get another type of reveal altogether – Juliet's body. Noooooo!

Way too much Juliet's body. I guess there are Juliet fans out there who have been waiting for this. I’m not sure who they are, or how to help them. Anyway, Juliet’s not alone, she’s AC#3’in it with Goodwin. And it’s the cheesiest beach picnic EVER.

Shameful.

They talk about their annoying-couple status ad nauseum. It’s the kind of lame relationship talk you’d expect from, I don’t know, Mad About You.

"Hey! Take that back."

You're still here?
"Yes. And we were never annoying like those two. So take it back."

Uh, okay? I'm still recapping the show here.

“Look, forget about Lost. We've paid attention to most of this episode, more or less, and honestly? Not that funny. Whereas Mad About You was and is the funniest show ever. Remember Ursula, the waitress? Remember how her twin sister was Phoebe from Friends? And remember when we went to Central Perk and mistook Phoebe for Ursula? That wasn’t annoying, that was HILARIOUS! Just watch a few minutes of that scene in this video and you can't deny that -"

NO! No. For the love of all that is holy, no.

Where were we. Oh right, Juliet & Goodwin. She thinks they should keep things secret so as not to upset Ben, but Goodwin’s like, Whatever. Ben? What he’s gonna do?

Cut to Oceanic Flight 815 being ripped apart in the sky. Then Ben yells, "Goodwin!" Ahhhh. So that’s why he sent Goodwin. Now Harper’s here. It’s an annoying couple quadrangle!

Back to Jack & Juliet, the world’s least dynamic duo, running this way and that. They hear noises. It’s Kate! She’s a bloody mess. Jack takes cares of her somewhat lovingly, and Juliet looks none too pleased.

What’s wrong, Juliet? Not feeling Jack & Kate rekindling as Annoying Couple #7? Tough noogies. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Juliet offers to go get Kate some water, which gives AC#7 some quality time together. Jack tells her Dan & Charlotte are headed for the power station, and Kate says they had gas masks, so clearly things is serious. Time to motivate.

Where’s Juliet, though? Jack calls out for her: "Juliet? Juliet! Juliet. Juliet. Juliet? Juliet! JULIET!!! Juliet! Juliet? Juliet. Juliet? JULIET!?!"

No Juliet.

Back to the barracks with AC#6. Locke is very clear with Ben abou the rules of this arrangement: no tricks. No trickery! That means no tomfoolery, no folderol, no lollygagging and definitely no hogwash.

"No tricks, John. We don’t even have to leave the living room."

Locke’s still skeptical, but Ben seems for serious.

"It’s behind that picture."

Locke removes the picture and finds a safe. So far, so good. Ben gives him the combo: "36 – 15 – 28." The safe opens. Ben is super cereal this time! So what do we win?

Ah, the Red Sox, we’ve seen that before. Or have we? "I taped over the game," says Ben. Oh, cool. John puts the tape in the VCR.

It’s Widmore again!

Ben breaks it down. "This is Charles Widmore. This is the man whose boat is parked offshore. This is the man that's been trying to find the island."

"Who's the man in the blindfold?"

"One of my people who had the misfortune to get caught."

"How does Widmore know about the island?"

"I don’t know. But he does."

"What does he want?"

Ben delivers a long, lame, not-analogous analogy about the Virgin Mary in a Pop Tart. Meanwhile, dude in the video gets knocked around by Widmore. Does he have brass knuckles on? And does he see what's filming him before the tape cuts off? I think he does.

"Charles Widmore wants to exploit this island, and he’ll do everything in his power to possess it."

Ben gets a file out the cabinet.

"Everything I know about Charles Widmore is in this file. Some of it’s vague, some of it’s guesswork, some of it’s concrete. But this is everything, and now it’s all yours."

"Sorry I didn’t tell you all this sooner, but it was the only bargaining chip I had left."

Locke wants more out of this relationship. "There’s one more thing I need to know. Your man on the boat…I need you to tell me who it is."

"All right…but you might want to sit down."

I already AM sitting down! Tell me tell me tell me! Oh, he’s talking to John.

After the break, we see Kate do her trail-tracking thang. Juliet’s been here. So have Faraday & Lewis, a half-hour ahead of her. But Jack wants to be an annoying couple, stop walking through the jungle and get pointless answers. So Kate tells him that the Freighter Folks know she’s a fugitive. "Do they?" Yes, Jack, they do! Can we go find those muggerfunkers and save the island now? That would be great!

Juliet is at the Tempest already, because she’s about her business. Oh, nice, it’s action time. But no! We’re back in the golden age of the Others, and it’s time for annoying couple action with Ben & Juliet! Nooooo! She's got the dinner rolls, he's got the ham. Oh brother.

Juliet knew she was coming over for dinner, but not this kind of dinner. "I thought this was a dinner party?" Emphasis on "party" if you didn't catch it, Ben.

"You and me! I guess I should have made that clearer.” Oh, you sly dog! He’s even got opera on. Playa please! You are not the macaroni with the cheese.

Juliet ruins the mood with talk of Goodwin, who’s been gone for three weeks at this point. Ben says Goodwin’s busy, "but his assignment will be over soon. I promise you." Scout’s honor!

We’re back at the Tempest. This scene feels like a low-budg version of Desmond’s back-and-forth between 1996 and 2004. We follow Juliet as she peers down into the control room, where Dan is suited up and pushing buttons. This whole scene feels like it belongs in Smallville, but the Tempest is no Level Three, Juliet’s no Chloe and Dan’s no Earl Jenkins.

"Warning! Manual entry. Override denied," says the computer lady. So there’s still time to stop him. Juliet rolls up on masked Dan with her gun out. His reaction is a bit of a surprise.

"Juliet, what are you doing here?"

Haaaa, Juliet knows what’s up! That's what's up.

After the break, Juliet tells Danny Dunn to step away from the Automatic House, but he can’t. Uh oh, countermeasures are beginning. "One minute to contamination." That sounds bad.

Juliet’s like, why you trying to kill a-body, doggs? "No, no, i'm not trying to release it. i'm trying to render it inert. i just want to make it safe."

Oh, cool, fair enough. Juliet pauses long enough to get hit in the back – hard! – by Charlotte.

The ladies tussle. They scuffle. Dan keeps plugging away at the computer. They keep fighting, because that makes sense. Juliet gets the upper hand and puts the gun on Charlotte, who says something sensible for the first time ever.

"Juliet, look me in the eye and tell me you are certain that Benjamin Linus wouldn’t use this gas to kill everyone on this island!" Good point. "We know he’s used it before. If you want to stop us, you’re going to have to shoot us both." I didn’t hear Dan agree to that scenario. But the face! Oh, the Charlotte face.

The dramatic countdown continues. "Three…two…one…" BANG! Everyone on the island dies from the unrendered, still-nert gas. Nah, they live.

"Man, that was a close one." Funny. We all knew that the island wasn’t going to get gassed, so the suspense was pretty canned in that scene. Even Juliet is like, I did all that for nothing? Damn.

Back in the golden age, Ben walks in on Juliet. She’s reading about spinal surgery and stuff like that. Oh, right, Ben’s tumor. Whatever. Ben needs her to come with him, so she does.

Out on the island, Ben takes Juliet to see something. Come on, it'll be fun! And, in a ditch. "I’m sorry, Juliet." Sorry for what? Oh, dead Goodwin.

Yeah, he real dead, son. And Ben don’t look that sorry neither either.

"I can only assume they found out he wasn’t one of them. Guess I should have listened to you."

"Why are you showing me this? Why did you bring me out here?"

"What, instead of his wife?" Annoying couples, converge!! It’s like Annoying Couple Voltron up in this muggerflugger.

"You knew this would happen. You sent him out here because you knew this would happen. You wanted this! You wanted him to die! Why?"

"Why? You’re asking me why, after everything I’ve done to get you here, after everything I’ve done to keep you here? How could you possibly not understand that YOU’RE MINE!"

Ohhhhhhh. Wow.

"Take as much time as you need."

Wowww! Ben's pretty crazy.

Back in post-Tempest time, Juliet and Charlotte walk out and run into the super-late Jack & Kate. Juliet says it’s all hood, but Kate says, not all hood, they knocked my ass out. Charlotte says they did what they had to do, and makes some more outstanding Charlotte faces.

Go Charlotte!

Jack takes their word for it, mainly because he’s got a hankerin’ for some annoying-couple time with his girl Juliet. "You okay?" He touches her face gingerly, and I throw up.

"He wanted me to kill them. Ben. he told me to kill both of them."

"How can he TELL you anything?"

"I don’t know, but he knew how to get to me, and he knew where they were going and what they were doing. Don’t you understand?" No, after four seasons, we really don’t. Feel free to explain some more. "These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben’s gonna win, Jack. And when he does, you don’t wanna be anywhere near me."

"Why not?"

"Because he thinks that I’m his. And he knows how I feel about you."

And they kiss sweetly.

And I just crapped myself something fierce.

"Fierce!"

Indeed. Twas a fierce pants-crapping.

These two in love or something? "He knows where to find me." Oh, Jack, you romantic, fearless son-of-a-gun.

"Honey, let's go. Let's take Murray for a walk. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna pick your ass up and take you both for a walk. How about them apples."

How about 'em. Bye, Paul and Jaime Buchman! And Murray.

But there's a little more Lost to go. Time for horseshoes with the first not-annoying couple of the episode – Sawyer and Hurley!

Where have you been, fellas? We could have used more of you. It's a contest, so Hurley naturally wins. It’s like ping-pong and croquet all over again. But the ep isn’t ending with their game of horseshoes. It’s ending with their shock and surprise at seeing Ben, strutting around with his clean clothes, free as a bird.

"See you guys at dinner."

Sawyer looks like he just crapped his and Hurley’s pants at the same time.

Hey guys, this could be a good thing. If the time-travel thing starts heating up, the crap in your pants will be your constant.

*BBHHBBBWWWONGGGGGGGGGG*
