High hopes

Hellloooooo, LOSTIES!!!!!
First, let me apologize for the fact that the video in the last post isn't available anymore....first I hype the dang thing and then it's not available?!?!?! As my neighbors kid likes to say: WTF? I don't have any idea what that means but they always look angry when they say it, so I thought it was appropriate here...maybe not....
Anyway, I'll re post it once it becomes available again and we'll have a longer disertation, I'm sure....But tonight is a different topic: The season finale of last year, "Through the Looking Glass", the ENHANCED version, with the pop up "facts"....I can't decide if they are informative or irritating...as someone who discusses this show ad nauseum with anyone who'll listen, I suppose they are helpful...here were my highlights of the ones I thought were cool:
Jack is recognized by a guy when he's trying to get a prescription filled. We always thought that it was due to the crash on the bridge but it was in fact that Jack became a hero in regards to the Oceanic Flight 815  and it's subsequent discovery.
The new spinal surgeon at Jack's hospital has the same last name as Bernard, Rose's husband...and as we all know Bernard was a dentist. So doctoring is in their family. That's my own fun fact.
All the "homages" to Star Wars....Like I couldn't have figured that one out...everyone who reads this regularly knows that I can cross reference Star Wars and LOST all day.....
The survivors have been on the island 91 days.....will they get to 108 days on the island before finally shipping off??
There were maybe a few more but in my infinite searching and sluething on the internet, I'd already known most of them.....it's not bragging if it's true, folks.. :)
All in all I found rewatching the last episode was just as rewarding as it was the first time....but I want to leave you with a little food for thought...my own LOST questionable mystery: Kate says she has to get back, "He's going to wonder where I am".....we always speculated that she was possibly referring to either Sawyer or maybe her husband she left behind when she went on the run.....but what if she was referring to someone else? perhaps someone...shorter?......She was also driving a Volvo, a car known for it's safety features.....I'll let you guys sort through the crypticness.....I'm more tired than Goodyear...
EPdeLFC, JB......see you tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

El Prez, the other tidbit I liked was the reference to 18th century French philospher and theologian Blaise Pascal and how he was once a man of science then abandoned science for theology/faith. Locke and Jack represent the two sides of Pascal - man of faith and man of science. Of interest, look up "Pascal's Wager" on Wikipedia.
