We begin this episode with Hurley in the Swan deciding to eat everything in sight. Watching this, my first fear was that Hurley would eat all the food, and there would be a shortage, and everyone would attack him. Then this happened.
At first, I was like. "What? Jin is speaking English? Wait, isn't Jin with the other survivors? So this is a dream? Haha. Hurley is speaking Korean. There's a chicken?"
"Everything is going to change."
So this episode is a sheer departure from the others in that it had a lot of funny parts. I'm not going to overanalyze everything about this episode, I'm just going to share a few thoughts.
Why is Hurley put in charge of the food? As a heavy guy myself, I wouldn't trust MYSELF with all that food if I was on a deserted Island, hungry after forty some days.
Kate is the first to take advantage of Hurley, because she wants a shower.
Charlie was mostly an ass to Hurley in this episode. I realize that part of this was justified, but I also think this has a lot to do with the heroin. I think Charlie might be using again.
Claire finds the bottle from the raft and goes to Shannon with it? Why of all people would she go to Shannon?
Sun buries the bottle because she doesn't want to think about Jin being dead.
Jin isn't dead. But he is in a pit. Oh no wait, now he isn't.
Locke knows when people are following him. That's pretty cool. I wish he would stop wasting time with the Swan and go fight the Others.
Charlie actually does have a fairly good speech about the "kid's table" and the "A-Team Mission."
Anna Lucia is the leader of Tail End Survivors.
Sawyer and Anna have some sexual tension. Wow Sawyer is like the male Kate.
Okay, Charlie wanting to get peanutbutter for Claire is cute.
Hurley worked at a Chicken place. He didn't initially want to turn in the lottery ticket, because he didn't want things to change with him and his friends.
Hurley and his friend were singing DriveShaft's anthem!
Starla is cute, and Hurley wanted to ask her out before he got all his money.
Jack and Sayid explore this cramped tunnel. Someone's going to get trapped in there I know it.
Kate is hot! And naked! And she wants Jack to take a shower too! Oh...
It's because he smells isn't it?
One of the Tail End Survivors is named Libby. There are 23 in all.
Nevermind, it appears most of them are dead.
No Hurley! Don't blow up the food! Don't do that!
Haha, Hurley and his friend spelled out "Cluck You" with gnomes.
Poor Hurley lost his friend. Oh no wait. He won the god damn lottery! I don't feel sorry for him at all.
Rose talks some sense into Hurley. Thank you Rose. You'll get a boost in the next Character Rankings I promise.
I enjoyed the giant feast.
Shannon and Vincent the Dog!
Jack and Kate!
Claire and Charlie!
Everybody may hate Hugo, but they love Hurley!
Bernard is alive! And he's white, so that makes me a total racist!
Rating: 9 out of 10 Apollo Bars
Despite not having a lot to say about this episode, I did really enjoy it. To me, this episode wasn't about big moral debates, or about the complicated plot points. This was an episode filled with Character moments. It was light and fun, and at the end of the day there wasn't some big moral quandary. They just had a feast with the food they had a found. Was that the smart thing to do? Probably not. Will they regret it at some point? Probably. But they needed a departure from all the pain of the Others, and the weirdness of the Dharma Initiative. The writers needed to remind us that we liked to see these people happy. Why? Well my guess is that they are planning to make them very unhappy in the near future. I predict that by the end of this season, I will look back at this episode and cry because of all that has been lost. But for now, our characters are happy, and I'm happy for them.
