Lost: "Numbers"

or Numb3rs for those CBS fans.

So I came into tonight expecting a lot because of the “scenes from next week” and because Three-Buck Fue said it was pretty good when I saw him at the bowling alley right before the show. And I still expect much after seeing only the first couple of scenes. What are the numbers all about on those papers? And Hurley is a nice guy, man, a nice guy. I like him a lot, but did he rig the numbers for the lotto? I don’t know because he was pretty surprised. And what had he done to put his family “through a lot” recently?

Locke and the baby lady again. I really don’t trust him a whole lot, nor do I trust his plans of building someone. I also don’t trust that there are sometimes random people in the background and they don’t seem to be doing a whole lot besides taking a vacation. Charlie just said loon and I think that’s pretty funny and so are the relatively high quality tents they apparently brought up out of nowhere. Also Huurley matched his shirt with his Hummer. Kudos.

So my original idea that he had some idea as to why they were on the island may not be entirely correct, but he could have been just unsurprised that bad things were happening to him. Or he did, I don’t know. I can’t really tell and that’s half the fun about Hurley. He’s this enigma on the island. Dave asked me the other day why I was so interested in him (it was more of a “I don’t understand why you like Hurley so much.”) By the way, Hurley owns a controlling interest in Locke’s box company. Good for him.

Hugo?!? Where did he get the numbers? That’s a pretty good question.

So I think Hurley is the most interesting because he’s the only one I can’t get a grip on the character. Jack is the good guy, Sawyer the bad guy you love to hate, Locke is the creepy guy etc. I know Hurley is the comic relief, but (spry? Hurley just called himself spry) I don’t know anything else about his role on the island.

I really like this idea that Hugo is a harbinger of bad luck. Hurley was in an insane asylum and he got the magic numbers from a guy who really likes connect four and the repeated numbers. He’s a pretty great guy, this Leonard. He apparently got the numbers from some Sancooly (spelling?) and Hurley has now “opened the box.” I don’t know what that means, but it certainly doesn’t sound good.

That bridge brings up an interesting point: what about Ethan? Is his “team” still on the island? I think so. And Hugo doesn’t seem to be having a whole lot of bad luck now that he’s on the island. I’d say its because he got away from the numbers, but I don’t think that’s true. What it think is true is that Leonard somehow got the numbers from Rousseau (the French woman on the island). Sam Toomey. That makes a lot more sense. So this Sam got the numbers from the static on this remote Pacific outpost and they were repeated in this strange message. And now Sam’s wife is a pirate and an angry one, too. Hugo Reyes, by the by, is Hurlley's full name. Keep a watch out for that in other episodes.

Locke is doing his best to be the creepiest guy ever possible by making glue and using it to make his own deadly trap. Now I bet he’ll give Claire some mystical explanation of how she can get her memory back... and there it is. That’s so nice and vaguely evil of him.

So back to the big guy: I’m guessing Hurley is the main link on the show. That’s why I can’t quite place him: he’s the glue made from rendered animal fat that holds the whole deadly trap together. He was in the video of the Korean. He owns Locke’s box company. He probably had something to do with Sawyer, Kate and all the rest. Heck, he is the reason the plane crashed (his bad luck anyway) and now he’s all about some bad luck numbers that are on the island with them. I’m also guessing he’s the link I’ve been waiting for with the psychic (The psychic who told Claire that her plane was going to crash had to find out that her plane was going to crash from a second source because he saw a future in which Claire kept the baby and THEN told her to go on the plane [that’s my contention anyway]). He’s the main reason everyone is there and he is the reason everyone on the island is linked. He IS the connection.

The French lady doesn’t even know! I want Hurley to get the answers he’s looking for because he is the only character I legitimately care about (I'm interested in the rest, but I care about Hurley). The numbers brought Rousseau to the island as well! And the radio tower is by the black rock that hides Ethan’s clan (or so I suppose). The numbers ARE cursed and all Hurley needed was for someone to believe him. I BELIEVE YOU HURLEY! Good job keeping it from everyone else, though, by the way. Keep that international man of mystery vibe going is always a good idea.

Locke talking to Claire about the baby’s future? That can’t be anything but BAD foreshadowing. Locke didn’t answer whether he believed in luck. But he does believe in making Claire a cradle and being spookily jerkstorish AGAIN. I’ll reiterate: Locke and the baby=not good at all. Remember how he was in her dream with one black and one white eye? And how the psychic told her SHE had to raise the baby and no one else. Hurley is worth $156 million? Box companies are worth a lot, I guess. But the door in the floor has the numbers on it, eh? Hmm. Mom says it’s almost like a ship is under the island and that ship is connected to the cord that goes into the ocean. That’s interesting but I'd say there's a little more to it than that. but no one seems to want to know where the cord comes from or where the radio tower is. If I was on that island I'd be 1) dead or 2) looking for the radio tower.

4-8-15-16-28-42

Questions from this week:
1. What are the numbers and where do they come from? The door or whoever is under it (or whatever I guess)?
2. Is there any significance of the pregnant lady rerun and the Hurley episode appearing so close together when Hurley is often around said pregnant lady (I'm probably reading too much into that)?
3. How come the French woman lets everyone go?
4. Locke is creepy and annoying most times, no question there.
5. How is Hurley connected to all the others (including the Korean, who we already know is indirectly connected somehow) and why was he in Australia?

Ok so I've never heard of this show... nothing much else to say about that one

If you don't post today about you-know-what but originated from a man mistakenly called Mr. McKitchen, then you are not the Brandon I once knew nor the same Brandon who commuted in a Toyota Archduke Ferdivan.

Also, if you can work in photos or illustrations otherwise, I'd hate you less for giving up on your Allamericanmascotcontest@hotmail.com

I think openning the box referred to Pandora's box. Once it's open, you can't close it. You can't put all the bad things back. I don't think Frenchy is evil, just lonely. I think Locke understands the island has a plan for everyone, seeing as he experienced the most undeniable miracle. I think Claire returned when she did because...well face it she's a timelock plot, there's sort of a limit on how long they can drag her out. I think Hurley and Claire's backstories were close together to make your realize connections. We know Claire was put there on purpose, and we know that Hurley's luck was likely responsible. The psychic knew the plane was going down... connection. Notice Hurley was on the television when Jin went in to "deliver a message" in the previous episode?

I don't see anyone discussing the fact that Locke almost lost his ability to walk, again. He didn't get his legs back until after the Boone tradgedy. Seems almost like a sacrifice was made to...(the island?) for Lockes ability to walk again.

By the way, the numbers are "4 8 15 16 _23_ 42" ;)
