4 stars from me!
I love Hurley's mom. She cracks me up!!
I really love all the cameos we're seeing of Losties of the past. Ana Lucia who also gives a shout-out from Cindy. Expose is the show that Hurley's dad was watching. That's the show Nikki was on. It's also cool to see that Neil "Frogurt" got a role after the Webisode we saw him in. A short role, lol! He got a well served wire arrow to the chest.
Hurley is so great. He's just so loveable and sweet and innocent. He hates lying and it's been eating him up. Jorge Garcia does a great acting job, particularly at the scene where he finally breaks down and unloads it all to his mom in a very hilarious Hurley way that makes absolutely no sense if you haven't been watching the show. It was heartwarming to see his mom sincerely say that she believes him... doesn't understand him but believes him. XD
I cracked up so hard when Hurley threw a hot pocket at Ben! Since I first saw that episode, I always picture that scene any time I see a hot pocket. XD
Omg!! The lady in that room with the swinging pendulum thing talking to Ben is Eloise from Desmond's mental flashes to the past! That was so awesome! So she's a real person. So crazy! Did Desmond really meet her in the past? Or in some weird mental trip? Also, what is that pendulum thingee? Ben seems to have a lot of contacts off-island. Eloise seems to know how to figure out where the island is and so much more about it. She has some science-y way of figuring where it's gonna be at a certain time and when you can get back to it.
Okay, that's all I can recall. I watched it earlier in the week so it's not as fresh but that's alright as I wanna wrap this up and hopefully watch the next ep!
Favorite scene/quotes

4 stars from me as well! The newest season seems so different to the others before (well, probably because some of them are off the island for a while now), but in a good way! Loved every season so far anyway!  Definitely a show I would rewatch right after finishing! I just wish there was more time to do so... Can't watching shows and writing reviews for it be a job?  Ana Lucia! I was glad to see her! Always thought she was a strong character. Poor Hurley though lol. Man, I always miss those little details with familiar faces on the screen. Did you notice all those when you first watched this already?? I loved the scene in which Hurley told the truth to his mom too!!! And agree, really great acting from her! You only gotta watch her face to believe in her role. Yes! xD That hot pocket scene! And Ben just standing there and watching lol. I had a feeling Ben would go back to his manipulating being. <3 xD Omg, whaaaat? That lady in the end was the woman from Desmond's mental flashes?  Why didn't I notice? Well okay, had been a while I watched those episodes, but anyway.. o.o I'm looking forward to learning more about that pairing of her and Ben. See you after the next episode lol! Keeping things short here as well. |

Can't watching shows and writing reviews for it be a job? Lmao!! That IS a job! But I don't think I could do that. I don't write reviews well enough nor am I able to constructively criticize something to death like most reviews do. I think having it as a job would actually take away my enjoyment of watching TV! Man, I always miss those little details with familiar faces on the screen. Did you notice all those when you first watched this already?? Most of them, I did because I watched each episode at least twice when it aired and between seasons, I'd rewatch all the seasons already existing! I also watched very closely. Eloise, the lady in that room with the pendulum, I totally recognized! I was like, OMG SHE'S REAL! THAT'S THE WOMAN FROM DESMOND'S FLASHES TO THE PAST!!! There may have been smaller ones I didn't catch, like how the priest Charlie went to was the same guy that Hurley bought the motor scooter off of at the airport. I had the people on the MFC Lost forum to thank for pointing out the more intricate ones! I had a feeling Ben would go back to his manipulating being. <3 xD What do you mean "go back to"? As if he ever stepped away from manipulating. XD |
