Last night's Lost starts off by showing that it's not just us, the fans, that love Hugo but apparently people who give away dinosaur trophies love him too! It's extra awesome cause it's T-Rex!
His mom of course has to ruin the awesomeness of the moment by reminding him he's single. It's like all mom's have this desire to ruin every happy moment. I talked to my mom after a bunch of kids I TA gave me a nice Christmas card one year and she was like "That's nice, but just a card? No presents? Not even some chocolate?" Thanks mom. Anyways Hugo's mom is the same way and pesters him into going on a blind date.
Later Hugo is on his blind date, only it appears his date has decided not to show. Instead Libby comes over and talks to him. Apparently his mom is really a bitch and usually sets him up with ugly girls. Libby says she feels like she knows him from somewhere but before she get very far Dr. CockBlock comes and cuts them off and tells Hugo that she's crazy. Poor, sad Hurley has to see his girl driven away in the crazy van, and his blind date never shows to boot.
Hugo is drowning his sorrows in bucket chicken when he notices Desmond lurking about him. Hurley pours his heart out to this stranger and Desmond throws in some awesome love advice that "all women are crazy." And the oh so subtle advice for Hurley to listen to his gut, his order, number 42, is up and it's time to go.
Hugo bribes Dr. CockBlock for entrance to the insane asylum and then asks Libby for the beach picnic they never got to have on the island. He brings six different types of cheese, this would be a home run date with me! Hugo gets all sad because he thinks he's too ugly to be loved.
It's super sad because Hugo is so awesome and not so bad looking. His perception is just skewed because he hangs out on..
Seriously, who wouldn't feel bad when juxtaposed against this cast? Anyways, Libby is sweet and they kiss and then Hugo remembers all their time together and is probably relieved because now they can both be crazy together.
On the island Hugo is all sad that deadLibby has never come talk to him, so the island knowing what's best, sends deadMichael, her murderer to talk to Hurley. It appears that deadMichael has had sometime to think about things and has decided killing people is wrong and that they shouldn't blow up Smokie.
Ilana comes back from the Black Rock with some seriously unsafe looking dynamite. I mean I was wondering if Jacob had touched her and she was invincible like Richard (and Jack?) because otherwise there is no reason to be so cavalier with explosives.
There's a little bickering cause deadMichael told Hugo not to blow up the plane but it all gets cut short when...
...Ilana explodes. Well I guess she's no longer necessary to the plot island.
Hugo ruffles through some stuff, finds a book with what looks like Cyrillic writing on the cover and opens up some bag. The music cues tell me it should be familiar/important but I have no idea what it is. More bickering till Hugo agrees with Richard to go grab more dynamite.
Ben talks bitterly about the island killing people who throw dynamite around it has no use for. His candidate jealousy gets interrupted by Hugo blowing up the Black Rock. Richard is pretty pissed, I think it's where he stored his eyeliner. The group splits into factions. Hugo, who wants to go talk to Smokie, gets Jack, Sun and Lapidus. Richard who wants to blow up the plane, gets Miles and Ben. I love Hugo but I gotta agree with Miles, Smokie is super scary!
Walking through the jungle lit by the never ending supply of burning torches Hugo starts to lose some of his confidences. He fesses his lie to Jack and pretty much tells Jack to take the reins again. Hopefully he will, I know everyone hates Jack and he can be a pretty annoying hero but in the end, I love Jack.
The voices get explained in the most phoned-in way ever. It's not that them being the ghosts doesn't make sense, it's just the whole scene was super corny and Hurley even says "That's what the whispers are?" just in case this was going to go over anyone's head. Apparently fans aren't the only one's who need to have their hands held through this episode because deadMichael also has to point out the obvious campsite of Smokie. Guess it's good he hid in this clearing.
In camp smoke monster there is more bickering, but at least this scene involves Sawyer. Smokie seems to think that the only way to leave is to re-create the way they arrived. I guess that's easier than trying to recreate their previous helicopter/barge assisted escape. I thought all they needed were the right co-ordinates. Anyways, Sayid shows up and he has Desmond.
Smokie unties Desmond and decides they should stretch their legs. While they walk and try to out-do eachother with vague conversation they run into a kid.
I guess this could be the same boy? But I think they are brothers and I bet the dark haired one is Jacob because MIB said that Jacob stole his body or something like that. Anyways, Smokie seems to want to avoid both of them. He takes Desmond to a well and tells about how it was built by people wanting water knowledge. He tries pretty hard to be creepy but Desmond just won't be creeped. Smokie is disappointed so he pushes Desmond in the well. Luckily I don't believe the plot island is done with Desmond just yet so I'm not going to get all sad just yet.
Smokie gets back to camp just as Hurley arrives bringing everything the smoke monster has been looking for. Jack eyes Kate and then he and Smokey super eye each other so I don't think there's going to be tons of smooth sailing in this camp.
Anyways as you all know, Lost always has to end with a some sort of cliff hanger (or huggy montage) and so far neither had happened so it can't be over yet.
Desmond is perving on some school being as totally hot conspicuous as possible. After being spotted by Ben he decides to move in and show us his license.
Which is pretty anticlimactic because it doesn't have any of the numbers. But then makes up for it with this.
I gotta say I didn't see this coming. Also I totally feel horrible for poor Locke. I really do like Locke, especially this incarnation that knows his dad and is marrying Helen. Nonetheless, I'm going to trust Desmond on this one.
Final thoughts:
- Desmond's totally not gone, right?
- Lost is really all about Love: Desmond/Penny, Charlie/Claire, Gin/Sun, Sawyer/Juliette, Hurley/Libby
- How weird would it be hanging with the God-like evil spirit that has possessed your friends body?
- Originally I had counted on there being an Ilana episode and not being a Desmond episode so I guess her death gets my predictions back on.
Just cause I don't want to leave you guys with the sad pic of Locke, enjoy some more hot murderous Desmond.
