Episode Recap … 4/5/2006
Another good episode … not great but a very solid effort. Here is my recap:
1. Why destroy the food? Won’t folks get a little upset when a nice stash of food is found all over the ground?
2. I am a big fan of the idea that Libby is a mole. HERE is a previous post on the subject. Let me add a few new things. First, when Hurley is holding the shoe it appears that Libby looks right at it - later she says that she didn’t see anything. Libby also finds Hurley when Hurley hadn’t ran into anyone in quite awhile. Finally, Libby likes Hurley. Don’t take this the wrong way but seriously. Nice guy, yes. Crazy, absolutely. Good looking, no way. I just don’t buy it.
3. Hurley’s Dr. was Dr. Brooks. The institution was called, “Santa Rosa”. Hurley’s friend is Dave.
4. Hurley was in the institution at least 2 months.
5. It appears that Locke can definitely feel pain in his leg. Wonder when that changed? It was only a few weeks ago that Boone was killed. In that episode Locke couldn’t feel pain, but then lost the ability to walk, and then he could walk again. I don’t know what to think about this.
6. HERE are some of the interrogation notes from this episode.
7. What is Eko making? Why won’t he tell Charlie?
8. Clonazepam looks like the drugs that Hurley was taking. Click HERE for more information on it.
9. When Dr. Brooks takes Hurley’s picture something interesting happens. He looks in the camera and then says, “Why don’t you get a little closer together.” What’s interesting is that if Dave is imaginary why would the doctor ask Hurley to scoot in closer to him? How would the doctor know that Dave wasn’t sitting right next to Hurley?
10. Sawyer’s joke was classic about seeing the guy in the bathrobe. Hurley beating up Sawyer was even better.
11. 23 people were on the balcony that collapsed. The balcony was designed to hold just 8. Remember the numbers, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. Sound familiar?
12. I need to get a good look at the paperweight and file that the Dr. pulls off his desk when he shows Hurley the picture. There is something odd about that.
13. Dave’s story is very interesting. The basic concept is that Hurley is still in a coma and he needs to wake up. I wonder if this is a slight jab at those that believe the whole island experience is a coma for one or more people on the island.
14. Finally someone interrogated Henry. I don’t know about you but I would be down there 24/7 trying to get him to open up. Check out the link above for the interrogation notes.
15. Libby in the mental hospital was a nice twist. If you remember back a few episodes ago Hurley asked Libby if they had met. She looked very familiar to him. At the time Libby mentioned that Hurley stepped on her while boarding the plane. I wrote way back then that her story didn’t check out. HERE is the original post. What’s interesting is why Libby would have lied about it. Not that one needs to brag about being locked up but there is something very fishy about Libby.
I think the look on Libby’s face as she and Hurley were walking away from the cliff was telling. She has a plan or directive that requires Hurleys’ help or involvement. It was a little freaky how they went from Hurley saying it was a dream and Libby saying it was not to showing her in Santa Rosa taking her meds. Almost like a combined matrix experience.
