The Big Hit

Helloooooooo LOSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's hit it hard and hit it fast. This is going to be one of those LOST updates that you'll tell your kids about.....mostly you'll say that you once knew this guy who was so obsessed with a show that he would write about it.....Ad nauseum...to anyone who would listen and had a decent internet connection...
Tonight's episode once again confirmed that we AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET.....I'm going to start at the end.....WTF?!?!? Sayid is a hired gun for Ben?????? Holy Smokes!!!
"Are you crying because you got shot or because you were stupid enough to care for her?"..man, Ben is SO cold....and apparently now a veternarian.....Off the island, in fact...Folks, I can't begin to tell you what a mind bender this show is turning into....
There were 2 great lines of the night: The first was very telling and that was when Sayid said, about Ben, "The day I trust him, I will have sold my soul to the devil".....well I guess he sold his soul....But was it to the devil??
Let's deconstruct the last exchange between Ben and Sayid.
Ben: Those people don't deserve our sympathies(Who are those?) Need I remind you what they did the last time you thought with your heart and not your gun?(Will this be on the island, or on the freighter? Or back in the real world? Will it have anything to do with Sayid's long lost love, Nadia?....ahh...which leads to this from Sayid:
Sayid: You used that into recruiting me to kill for you.(Did Ben promise something to Sayid in exchange for Nadia's well being???...He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do anything for himself...except maybe fall in love with women all over the place..Shannon, this Elsa chick....Naomi..but I'll get to that in a minute)
Ben: You want to protect your friends or not, Sayid?(Is Ben referring to the other Oceanic 6 or the people left behind on the island? Or some other friends? Maybe some poker buddies??)

Whatever happens here, let's remember one thing: Ben is still alive and kicking and causing some real disturbances....And apparently he can come and go off the island like it ain't no thing...
We saw in his secret room that he has a ton of money, a ton of passports and a ton of fresh threads...very interesting...

Let me get back to my Sayid in love with Naomi bit....He looked at her bracelet when she was dead. It had an inscription: N-I will be with you always. R.G.
Now I don't know who R.G. is and right now I really don't care. My point was that Sayid looked sad when he saw the bracelet...Something was triggered...It wasn't until he shot Elsa at the end that it dawned on me. He saw a kindred spirit in Naomi...a hired killer...We all know Naomi was the military brains behind the freighter people...Sayid was the military brains to the 815ers...And Elsa was also a hired gun...and she had a bracelet as well!! Sayid's hand lingered on it after he shot her....Were Naomi and Elsa working for the same dude???
Methinks so.....and I'll leave it at that...

The second memorable line of the night was the funniest of LOST so far this season...and it comes compliments of Hurley:
"I saw that breakdancing thing you did with your legs when you snapped that dudes neck at the beach. I'll hang back here."
HAHAHHAHAHH....that was pretty funny.....

Another interesting factoid popped up tonight in the form of Daniel's "experiment". Apparently time off the island is 31 MINUTES faster than time on the island....or was it slower?? I've never been good at math, which is why I now have a job using math 95% of the time....relax, bosses!! The computer is a big help....Hahaha...I kid...Seriously, it's PHYSICS I've never been good at...hell, half the time when I spell it, I spell it PSYCHICS and that's just a whole nother ball of wax...or yarn...
Either way, there's some freaky time variations on the island and that was enough to cause Daniel to warn Frank the Pilot to not deviate off the bearing they came in on...DO NOT, under any circumstances....what do you think would happen???
I'll tell you what I think...I think its a worm hole situation.....yep, you heard me..a worm hole....through time...Like Back to the Future, except without the fancy flying car....This is your Doc Brown, El Prez, telling you that somehow, time travel will play a part in this show....If they deviate of the heading, will they catch up to the future? Will they age instantly? Is that why we've seen a taller Walt???? Something is happening here folks and this show just continues to push all the MYSTERY buttons it can, every 108 minutes!!! My mind is blown!!!

I have to stop here...my head continues to spin and it's going to cause me to get dizzy and lose my lunch.....I will leave with a little factoid from the "Enhanced" episode of the show that aired before tonights new one..you know, the episodes with the pop up facts?
Well they spoke about the Christiane 1, the boat that found Oceanic Flight 815 off the Sunda Barrier or whatever? Well it turns out that boat was searching for old trade boats.....Old trade boats like the Black Rock.....Folks, there's a lot of people looking for this island and I think before it's all said and done, you are going to find that there are 2 factions fighting over this place, one for good and one for evil and our LOSTIES are caught in the middle.....which side will you be on??
I'm out....

Gary Coleman reveals he's been secretly married

Gary Coleman is a not-so-newlywed.
The former Diff'rent Strokes star married 22-year-old Shannon Price in August on a mountaintop in Nevada, but they have been keeping their vows under wraps, the pair told Inside Edition.
"Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us," Coleman, 40, said on Tuesday's broadcast of the program.
Oh crap...that's supposed to go in my other blog......
Check this IT instead:
From my good friend Doc Arzt over at his blog:
Carlton Cuse spoke with Variety today with regards to what the future looks like for lost. Here are his comments:
As for "Lost," exec producer Carlton Cuse said he and fellow showrunner Damon Lindelof would meet with ABC brass today to hammer out the plan for the rest of the season. They won't be able to finish the remaining eight segs of the show's planned 16-episode season -- five is a more likely number -- but they will be able to craft a completed storyline for the remainder of this season, Cuse said.
And whatever segs are not produced this season will be picked up down the road in the show's remaining two seasons, Cuse said.
"We're going to try to make as many as we can and do a good job of finishing out this season," he said. "We'll have to compress some of the storytelling we planned for this season, and that may not be a bad thing. Damon and I feel like we know how we can finish it off and still make it a really, really great story."

So there you have it folks.....Not great news because I'm greedy and want all 8 but I will settle for 13 high quality, deeply impactful episodes of the greatest show since Diff'rent Strokes.....

That's all I got...
