SPOILER ALERT!!!!! This blog is about Episode 3. It contains details about the episode and also explains exactly what LOST has been about all these years. I’m just smart like that.
Before we begin. Was it just me or did it seem like the writers realized it was their last season and they had to tie a bunch of loose ends together? Watching this I just kept imaging a college kid who didn’t realize his midterm paper was due tomorrow so was scrambling to pull an all-nighter and just started making up facts. You know what I mean? Course you do. Personally I think the writers jumped the gun because they clearly explained everything in this one episode. All in the last 5 minutes no less.
I have no idea what anyone’s name is anymore. I thought the Rebel was named Sawyer but the Sad Day Monster kept calling him James Ford. I though the portly gentleman was named Hurley but apparently his name is Hugo Reyes. Again, shame on the LOST writers for naming a huge person Hugo. It’s probably glandular. I’m pretty bad with names to begin with, so this is not helping.
Overall What is Happening
I think it’s pretty clear. Jacob has been tasked with protecting the island from nothing and was looking for a successor so he could retire to a non-island. He made a bunch of planes crash on the island to interview candidates, class president style. A bunch of people have failed (died) and so his list is getting pretty short on nominees. Sawyer and the Sad Day Monster say “no thanks” so there are two less candidates. That’s it. That’s all this show has been about.

More Detailed Episode Recap
I already explained the entire series above, but I guess we should do the full episode recap for posterity’s sake.
John was the focus of tonight’s episode in “The World Where LOST Doesn’t Exist Because the Plane Didn’t Crash” (never thought about that, did ya?). Man, does his life suck. I am pretty sure the writers just copied a bunch of FML’s to write his storyline. He starts by getting home through a self driving van. Or a ghost drove his van. Or the guy who drove the van ran away after pulling up to his house. Either way, John is flying solo as he tries to get out of his van. The little elevator shorts out. Rather than calling a neighbor he tries to make the jump and doesn’t make it. Then as he is lying face down on the lawn the sprinklers turned on. A lady named Ellen comes running out of the house to help him out. Not sure why he didn’t just call her up on the ol’ cellphone once he got stranded, but to each his own.
John then stars in his own Cialis commercial by hanging out in a bathtub. His lady is not in an accompanying bathtub, so you know, take that how you want. Ellen finds a business card for Dr. Hunkenstein (Jack) and gets all excited that he is a spine surgeon. She asks John what up with that? He says it was just some dude being polite… offering him a chance to walk again… whatevs, nothing to follow up on.
John goes to work at his telemarketing job. His boss, who is trying too hard to be Dave Grohl, calls him out on not being at a conference. Then fires him. Not cool. John goes out to the parking lot and some Hummer parked too close to his spot. Turns out Hurley owns the Hummer. John is rude to him. Hurley is socially uncomfortable. He offers John an opportunity at a temp agency he owns. They become super buddies. Hurley tells John to keep his chin up. He’s saying that because Hurley doesn’t have one and wants John to appreciate what he’s got. Also, he is a billionaire and doesn’t understand the concept of sadness.
John goes to the temp agency and is overall an unpleasant person. Just interview, chief. He grouches out and asks to see a manager. She’s a pretty cool lady who is willing to tell it like it is. As John is hanging streamers for a pity party, the Manager drops the bomb that she has terminal cancer. Snap. In your face. She clearly is lying because if you have terminal cancer you probably shouldn’t be working as a manager at a temp agency. You should be on a remote tropical island.
John explains to his wife that he got fired. For being engaged and living together, she is really uninvolved in his life. John admits he went for a walkabout and they said no. Bummer. All he packed were hunting knives.
The island was pretty straightforward this time around. As straightforward as a deserted island with 15 different plane crashes, a few ghosts, and a monster can be at least.
It starts with a sequence that looks like it was directly lifted from The Animal. Only difference is instead of it being the point of view of Rob Schneider it turned out to be the Sad Day Monster. The Monster opens a bag and out pops Richard. Being polite, the Monster apologizes for beating Richard and taking him off the beach. Hey, no sweat. This is the first of several times in the episode where someone politely explains what is going on. Here we learn that Richard is a candidate and that if he just follows the guy who beat the heck out of him, everything will be explained. Smartly, Richard says no. Good lesson for the kids. If someone mugs you, then promises to explain one of life’s mysteries, don’t follow them to a remote part of an already deserted island. Speaking of kids. Some blond kid appears. It totally messes with the Monster. I think his biological clock is ticking. Someone’s baby crazy.
The Nerd is back (also known as Weinery Guy) and is as weinery as ever. He can’t even lie convincingly when he admits he killed Jacob. It’s here that we find out the Sad Day Monster is recruiting. I would like to sign up.
The Monster stumbles into one of the luxury cabanas on the deserted island… where there is a record player… and booze. Sawyer is tipsy and nude. Finally, people are starting to enjoy their paradise. Apparently they have TONS of Jim Beam. Sad Day Monster decides to tip one back. Then he goes around beating people in a drunken rage. So sad. He had so much potential. Here we find out Sawyer is a homeowner. Which is great. This is a great time to buy if you are able to get a good down payment. Sad Day Monster is playing the role of mortgage lender and telling Sawyer he doesn’t own squat. Really amazing how far this economic downturn has spread.
The Monster informs Sawyer he can answer the most important question in the world: Why are you on this island? Sawyer answers that it’s because his plane crashed… and his raft broke… and his… helicopter got messed up…? No wonder he turned to the sauce and is so grumpy. Sawyer agrees to go with him but first he needs to get his pants. Normally, the long list of transportation options would confuse me. I’ve learned to just go with it. There were probably 10 other vehicles on the island. They need one of those amphibian duck tour boats.
On the beach, everyone decides to go to the temple. Which sounds like a great idea. PARTY! We also find out some dude (I think curly haired Asian) is named Jin (Jen? Gin?). Which is great because I’ve wanted to know his name for a while. Then some square points out they should bury John. Nuts to that, just float him out to sea. A lot less work, same result.
Sawyer and Bad Day Monter are walking through the woods when they see the blond kid. Sawyer is drunk enough that he sees him too. The Monster, instead of turning into his real rain cloud self, decides to run after him. He trips. He falls. Blondie reminds him of the rules and that he isn’t allowed to kill Sawyer. Sad Day Monster is a rebel though. He’ll do what he wants. That’s why he likes Sawyer. He gets it.
While all this is going on, Sawyer is just standing in a drunken stupor. Richard pops out of nowhere and warns Sawyer that this guy is not to be trusted. Sawyer ignores him. Rebels stick together. Richard runs away, the Monster returns. Sawyer: “What happened to the kid?” Monster: “What kid?” Sawyer: “Right.” Here’s my question: What does Sawyer think the Monster did with the kid? He said “right” in the same way people in gang movies talk. Like Sawyer just assumed he killed the kid and is saying he won’t narc. After Sawyer drunkenly rambles about John Steinbeck, we find out that the Sad Day Monster used to be a People. Good to know.
The folks on the beach (Team Jacob) go to bury John in a pretty big grave yard. By my count this deserted island has 263 occupants. This is supposed to be a sad funeral where he gets buried. I assume so at least. No one wants to say anything until Nerdlinger admits John was a better man than him (that’s a long list) and he is sorry for murdering him. No one really reacts to his confession. This island needs a judicial system of some sort.
Finally, Drunk Sawyer and Sad Day Monster get to a cliff where someone has built a pretty impressive ladder system. They climb down and since Sawyer is hammered he falls down a bit and the Sad Day Monster saves him. They go into a cave where Monster throws a rock and says it is an inside joke. I don’t get it. It’s here that they explain everything about the show. Jacob has been handing candy bars to everyone who ended up on the island. He gave Sawyer his when he was a kid and then apparently took a sabbatical and started giving them out again 20 years later. There’s auditions to take over the island. Everyone has a number. Dead people are crossed off. I got excited when I saw “8 – Reyes” because I thought that meant Jose Reyes was on the island somewhere. But alas, Jose is #7. Clearly Jack is #23 because he is the Michael Jordan of being handsome. The Sad Day Monster gives Sawyer 3 choices. 1) Do nothing (sounds great to me. I’m gonna go back to getting drunk and listening to rock music on a tropical island.) 2) Protect the island from nothing. (sounds like option 1, I’m in.) 3) We just go. Thelma and Louise style.
Drunk Sawyer votes that they hit the bricks. Not what I would have chosen.
Thoughts I Have
- Character names to this point: Jack, John, James, Jin, Jacob. Can we turn the page in the baby-name book that the writers are using to name characters?
- Speaking of names, Randy Nations was John’s boss. C’mon. Between that and Dr. Goodspeed I am starting to think everyone on land is using an alias.
- If the Monster was gonna make nice with Sawyer, he should have disguised himself as Juliette. Then they could have made that baby the Monster is jonesing for.
- The first time I saw the actor who plays Richard he was as the Mayor in The Dark Knight. At the time I thought it was really progressive for the people of Gotham to elect someone who wore guyliner (eyeliner for dudes). He’s wearing it again in LOST. I bet he has a rider in his contract that he gets to wear it regardless of role. I hope he one day gets to live his dream of starring in a David Bowie music video.

I still think this blog is legit. Some of the more insider-y jokes — like Richard’s eyeliner — are basically the same things we long-time LOST fans remarked on the very first time we laid our eyes on him. Someone trying to write a fake site might skip that just because it’s a joke that everyone’s heard already. 🙂
Anyway, I love the name “Sad Day Monster.” I hope that catches on. 🙂

Amazing! Watching the show is the highlight of my week, reading your blog after the show is a very close second!
After you finish the season, I think you should continue with the other seasons, but watch them in reverse! Start with The Incident and work backwards… SPOILER eventually the plane will take off violently from the island and reform in the air over the island.

Posted by Saltywhatnow on February 19, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I have a whole bunch of gay friends who have frequent arguments over exactly how hunky Jack is, and a roughly equal number of female friends who don’t find him attractive at all. Therefore I don’t understand how making references to his supposed hunkyness automatically makes the writer a woman.

“Man, does his life suck. I am pretty sure the writers just copied a bunch of FML’s to write his storyline. ” LMAO.
And your caption “College dorm room or Lost writers’ room? You decide” – you have NO idea. Wait till you find out what other stuff these fratboys have written for the female characters.

What I took from the rock thing was, if you look again one rock is light” good” and one black “Bad”. They are on a scale and they are balanced. since jacob is now dead “Light rock,” Monster throws white rock into ocean creating an uneven scale with only the dark “Bad” rock. It is symbolic. It is showing that “evil” is now out weighing good on the island. Do you get what I am saying?
Posted by JR on February 19, 2010 at 7:53 am
Why on Earth would you give away information important to the plot? Don’t you get the premise behind this blog?

No, he doesn’t. I’d say Adam’s a little “thick”.
Posted by Adam on February 19, 2010 at 5:48 pm
what is the premise of this blog then? The person said that they didn’t understand the thing with the rock so i thought i could explain my opinion. Giving away information? What the hell do take from recap?
Posted by A Different Adam on February 19, 2010 at 6:19 pm
It’s meant to be what some of us call “humorous.” It’s funny precisely *because* the writer doesn’t have the first five seasons or a legion of obsessed fans to go on. It is my impression that this blog is laden with such archaic techniques as “sarcasm” and “irony,” rather than being a cry for help. Brilliant!
I am ashamed to be named Adam right now.
Posted by Adam on February 19, 2010 at 8:31 pm
I understand that it is humorous but I was just trying to help. Don’t PMS saying that I am giving away valuable information. take it or leave it, I really dont care. I am not obsessed I am just able to see past what is there. If you think that I sit in my room all day watching LoST and disscuseing my theories on time travel on blogs than you must be mistaken. You are probally better off fighting over this is edisode 3 or 4 with the people who have nothing better to do
Posted by Adam on February 19, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Also this is not giving away information. It was in THIS episode and Dark and White useually mean good and bad. Really anyone can understand this from watching Just this episode.
Posted by ALostFan on February 19, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Look, it’s HUMOR. The author doesn’t want information from Pretentious Lost Fans, he/she is writing a blog from the point of view of NOT knowing anything before season 6 started. It’s not a blog asking for explanations of whats going on, it was supposed to be for fun; Damon thought it was funny unfortunately since he tweeted about it now we have to have people coming here correcting the author on names & giving theories. Lord knows there’s enough other places for that, can’t there be one place for humor? Even if the author has seen the show before, this blog is hysterical. I’d rather read this than 100 stupid theories.
Posted by Adam on February 19, 2010 at 10:11 pm
W/E. I dont twitter, i found this on DIGG. give me a break. it is just an observation now get off my case.
Posted by Adam on February 19, 2010 at 10:35 pm
And if you think I am trying to be a duche bag coming in here and trying to show off idiotic knowledge of LOST than you are wrong. I glanced at the page, the person showed understanding of the show and said ” They go into a cave where Monster throws a rock and says it is an inside joke. I don’t get it.” I just thought they they might want to understand what it symbolizes. I am giving away information? What information is that? I hate lost fans that blog about theories just as much as any of you. So don’t get angry. People who complain about spoilers in this recap are idiots and those who tell me this recap contains Humor can go to hell because anyone who reads this page knows it is meant to be funny. Don’t think I am a fat guy sitting in a dorm room in California that takes lost more seriously than being social or living ones life. If this does not clear everything up than I dont know what will, because it seams everytime i try to defend myself people just come back at me for not haveing a sense of humor.

Posted by Dharmist on February 19, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Not that stupid considering that the post title says it’s the recap of episode 3. *Waves*
Posted by A Different Adam on February 19, 2010 at 6:25 pm
It is pretty stupid considering how much of the beginning of this post is mundane things which very clearly don’t apply to What Kate Does (like Flocke calling Sawyer “Ford”) before it gets to actually spoilery material. You’d think someone who started reading this post thinking it was about “The Substitute” would see that and realize “hey, I haven’t seen an episode with Smokie talking to Sawyer, I should stop.”
I agree, though, that this is a potential risk which outweighs the bit of humor in the wrong episode numbering.
Posted by Jonathan K on February 19, 2010 at 4:40 pm
This is episode 3. The premiere was two-hour but still considered one episode.
Posted by Joanne on February 19, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Actually, this is episode 4. They do it by hour. The premiere was Episodes 1 and 2. BUT, the reader is responsible for know this is not a normal Lost recap.
Posted by Dani on February 22, 2010 at 1:27 am
I think there might be a difference in episode numbering between whether you watch the show on television and whether you download it illegally on the internet.

It doesn’t sound like someone who has never seen lost, you knew way too much about characters. It sounds like someone who has a damn hard time understanding it though. Also don’t understand your jokes like calling the monster “sad day” – wtf?
Posted by April on February 24, 2010 at 4:59 pm
the blogger referenced the monster as “a black cloud that follows you around on a bad day” in one of these recaps, and hence named the monster the “sad day monster”. I think that is marvelous….
Posted by Miguel on February 18, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Oh, now i know why i didnt think it was funny, it does seems you have to read the last 2 posts, so you can really see his learning process. ppl read the last 2 entries before you read this one, the feeling is actually like Lost where ou have to watch it from the beggining, awesome blog…
Posted by mr. red on February 19, 2010 at 12:31 am
First, you are a gifted comedian and I am now looking forward to reading these each week. “The Nerd” and “Nerdlinger” references both had me busting up laughing.
Second, this is for people who just dismiss this as someone who has seen the show because “It doesn’t sound like someone who has never seen lost, you knew way too much about characters.” Are you so unoriginal in your life that you can’t believe someone can create these fantastic observations from simply watching a show and commenting on it? I would hate to be a part of your cynical, small world where anyone who shows creativity is dismissed as a fraud. And even if it turns out he is a huge fan and is just being funny, really, who cares? Just enjoy it or move on with your life.
Keep up the good work papadurbin.

It’s a fine line between love and hate and you seem to be sporting some Lost wood.
I love the way you think that obsessive continued mockery of something obsessive is somehow less pathetic. I thought the first one you wrote was funny, but now, you’re just as cultist and stale as the people you’re having fun with.
The joke is over. Funny left an hour ago with relevance and timing. You must be preparing to write for Saturday Night Live.

I tip my hat to you, sir. I am a self-proclaimed “Lostie,” seen every episode, and this blog is HILARIOUS. I literally LOLed quite a few times reading these 3 entries. So many great one-liners.
Please keep it up for the duration of the season. I’m nervous that the finale is not going to live up to my rabid fan expectations, so if it doesn’t, your humor will soften the blow.

That’s all you had to say. As it’s brilliant.
Posted by melissa on February 19, 2010 at 3:22 pm
i’ve never heard of Ben referred to as a nerd, which was nice actually. oh, and Richard, or the actor actually, just has really thick eyelashes, which is why he looks like he’s wearing guyliner. that was revealed in an interview with him about both TDK and LOST.

How dare you give away stuff about the show!!!!!! Don’t you understand the point of this blog. Shame on you! Oh, just kidding.
Posted by Mélanie on February 19, 2010 at 3:27 pm
rofl I hadn’t notice about all the names starting with J before, lol.
Nice comment. You DO know that Damn Lindelof (Co writer/producer) has found your blog and has tweeted about it for people to see? I think that’s pretty awesome!
Posted by watched17times on February 28, 2010 at 5:52 am
Oh . I know…. there is a lot of J names. Didn’t notice either. Maybe they just all came on gradually…haha! I haven’t laughed this hard in YEARS! Probably because I have been obsessed with LOST for the last several years and it’s all I watch anymore. Sad Day Monster is helping me hang the streamers for my pity party…LMAO!! I actually had to stop and take a break from reading to catch my breath. This is too freaking funny. I just really wish that the people who keep giving information and the people who don’t understand the reason for this blog cuz A) They can’t read B) They didn’t read the first post, or C) They are just jerks …will all go away to another blog, so the ones who know the purpose will not have to keep yelling at these people. Cuz that ends up negating all the laughing I just did. Maybe I will post here but not read the comments anymore.
Maybe our wonderfully talented blogger should just very briefly recap the reason for starting the blog at the beginning of each episode’s recap. It won’t help the people who chose A or C, but maybe we can cut down on at least 30 percent of those spoilers and haters, right?

Brilliant and Damon Lindelof tweeted about it
Posted by TaniaNicole on February 24, 2010 at 12:26 am
Did he really, Marcus? That’s too cool!!
“John was the focus of tonight’s episode in “The World Where LOST Doesn’t Exist Because the Plane Didn’t Crash” (never thought about that, did ya?). Man, does his life suck. I am pretty sure the writers just copied a bunch of FML’s to write his storyline. ”
LMGDAO!
papadurbin, keep it up, these are great!!!
I DO have to stick up for the producers here and say that they have had a definite beginning and a definite END already planned when the show started. It’s all the stuff in between that they had to write and try to make sure it would all fit withe the beginning and the end.
Not hating at all, I love this blog.
Cheers, brotha!

Posted by ESQuire on February 19, 2010 at 4:27 pm
I pray to God you keep this up. Your writing is easy on the eyes just as a matter of course… but your subject matter and approach here are … amazing. Keep it up, please. Don’t get discouraged. For a bunch of Lost fans out here, you are making our day.

YOU’RE SO FRICKIN’ FUNNY.
“Man, does his life suck. I am pretty sure the writers just copied a bunch of FML’s to write his storyline.”
“Hurley tells John to keep his chin up. He’s saying that because Hurley doesn’t have one and wants John to appreciate what he’s got.”
“No one wants to say anything until Nerdlinger admits John was a better man than him (that’s a long list) and he is sorry for murdering him. No one really reacts to his confession. This island needs a judicial system of some sort.”
“What does Sawyer think the Monster did with the kid? He said “right” in the same way people in gang movies talk. Like Sawyer just assumed he killed the kid and is saying he won’t narc.”
and the names thing at the end, hahaha 😀
This is so awesome.
Can’t wait for next week’s.

Reading this at work and I get to…
“Really amazing how far this economic downturn has spread.”
and laugh out loud. Then…
“This island needs a judicial system of some sort.”
and I laugh so hard that I start to cry. Then…
“I saw “8 – Reyes” because I thought that meant Jose Reyes was on the island somewhere. But alas, Jose is #7. ”
and…
“Clearly Jack is #23 because he is the Michael Jordan of being handsome.”
and I laugh so hard that I piss my pants. Now I have to leave work and go home and change my pants and work late tonight to make up for the time that I spent going home to change.

I’m among those who is quite convinced you’ve not only seen this show, you’ve seen every episode a couple of times. Like me. Okay, I’ve seen them all four times, not a couple of times. But whatever the case, excellent stuff. Keep up the good, laugh out loud work.
Posted by Eric on February 19, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Keep these up! Lost is my favorite show, but I admit it’s pretty goofy and stupid. But I LIKE goofy and stupid, so it all works out. These write-ups are similar to how my friends and I talk about Lost. We don’t talk theories or anything, we just make dumb jokes about it.
Best line: “Hurley tells John to keep his chin up. He’s saying that because Hurley doesn’t have one and wants John to appreciate what he’s got.”

OMG – a friend found your blog and shared it with us over at a LOST forum. SO much I want to correct you on – but your point of view of everything is HIGH LARRY US!!!!!!!! When it’s all over, please watch it from the beginning and enjoy the awesomeness that is this show. I’ll be keeping up to date with your ramblings 🙂
Posted by Cassie on February 19, 2010 at 7:28 pm
So funny… I am a devout LOST fan, and even though I would love to explain all those little things – I laughed out loud alone in a room reading this. Kinda like crazy people do. Like the guys who write LOST do when they get their paychecks.
Keep it up.

I’ve been a fan of the show for a long while now and I just have to say your recaps are the cats pajamas. Not sure if you have any idea how ironic some of your observations are, but they really hit close to home a few times.
Any plans on watching the previous seasons after this?

The actor who plays Richard (Nestor Carbonell) does not wear any eyeliner. He actually wears concealer to lighten up his super dark lashes, as seen and addressed by Nestor himself in the makeup room on the Season 5 Lost DVD features.

Posted by calandrella on February 20, 2010 at 10:55 am
Very funny, but I don’t think you haven’t watched Lost. Too many inside jokes/references in your texts (Candy bars/Ewoks/”You should be on a remote tropical island.”).
Posted by outlander on February 20, 2010 at 12:17 pm
The candy bar is not an inside joke or reference, it was shown in the episode as a flashback when Jacob gave the candy bar to Jack. But the line “You should be on a remote tropical island” seemed a bit suspicious to me too. Anyway there’s no point debating whether this blog is “fake” or not as long as it’s funny it makes my day.
Posted by calandrella on February 20, 2010 at 10:57 am
Oh, and if you actually haven’t watched the earlier seasons of Lost, you really should. They are great, and so is season 6, if you have watched the earlier ones.
Posted by Confu-Zed on February 20, 2010 at 12:12 pm
O.M.G. Hubby came running to see why I was shrieking with laughter at the top of my lungs, to find I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard! I love LOST and have seen all eps from the beginning, but find myself many times as LOST about what’s going on as you seem to be, hence calling myself Confu-Zed here. 😉 Regarding the raging debate: I think you are legit, not a fake. But frankly, I don’t care. I just hope you continue blogging throughout this last LOST season. Your cartoons are like a `bonus round`. I actually had to Google what ‘FML’ means. LOL. Highlights for me: the Michael Jordan reference; the Nerdlinger moniker; pointing out all the `J` names, the entire section about nude Sawyer, the real estate, the booze, and his pants. I can`t wait for your next installment!!! Kudos about Damon tweeting about you and your blog going totally viral now!
Posted by outlander on February 20, 2010 at 12:12 pm
There is just one thing that the author of this blog should be corrected on. The season premiere aired as a two-parter (“LA X” Part 1 and Part 2) which means that the latest episode is not “Episode 3” but actually is Episode 4. It should be corrected in order to avoid further confusion
Posted by selma on February 20, 2010 at 1:19 pm
‘Jacob has been handing candy bars to everyone who ended up on the island.’
‘Sawyer and Bad Day Monter are walking through the woods when they see the blond kid. Sawyer is drunk enough that he sees him too.’
best ones…excellent, just like previous recaps…

Posted by Web Commoner on February 20, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Am I missing something? Is this a joke? You seriously think that they would explain the entire series in the last five minutes of the final season’s third episode? Each and every episode, for the last two seasons, people think they know all of the answers based on the last segment of the last episode that they saw, and they always turn out to be completely wrong.
Posted by Jesse on February 20, 2010 at 5:32 pm
To whomever writes this blog: I don’t care if you’re a man, woman or neutered puppy. Just keep writing this because you are absolutely brilliant. I laugh so hard I hurt myself. If I was allowed to read this at the office I could apply for Workers’ Comp. Pain never felt so good.
And for all of the Losties who want to ‘educate’ the author, please shush. We have had over five years to discuss this and haven’t come half as close as this blogger to a solution.

You do have a talent for comedic misinterpretation:
“Some blond kid appears. It totally messes with the Monster. I think his biological clock is ticking. Someone’s baby crazy.”
Not to mention:
“If the Monster was gonna make nice with Sawyer, he should have disguised himself as Juliette. Then they could have made that baby the Monster is jonesing for.”
I rarely laugh out loud, but I did at this.
Posted by Pamy on February 21, 2010 at 6:46 pm
These summaries are priceless! I would rather read your recap than a ‘real’ one from someone in the know, I mean, how boring would that be?
I hope you skim through the posts that try and tell you what is happening and continue writing is blissful ignorance. I also agree with the person that hopes you guess the real meaning to all this before we do! LOL
Thanks for sharing your comedic talent with the web!

Your recaps of the show are hilarious! I’ve been watching the show since the beginning and it’s good to have a refresher after each episode. I wish you had been writing this the last six years! Maybe after LOST is over, you can switch over to Fringe? That’s show’s freaky weird!

I have been baffled by this for years now and have never heard anyone else mention it, so I figured I was seeing things. Nice job with these, very funny. I just started this year myself which makes it even better.
Posted by AlexRosseauWasHot on February 23, 2010 at 3:48 pm
While I can see how knowing the show would make it more possible to be funnier, I don’t think the author has seen anything prior to season 6.
He references the flashbacks to Jacob visiting everyone, saying that he took a sabbatical after seeing Sawyer as a boy. But we all know that in the season 5 finale he also went to see Kate as a child. But he seemed completely ignorant to that.
Whatever, its funny.

Believe it or not, these are actually really helpful as recaps. The fresh angle helps me notice things that I may take for granted as a long-time LOST watcher, and they’re not laden with speculation like some of the more famous recap blogs. And they’re funny and well-written to boot. Good job!

You are amazingly hilarious. I think that, even if you knew what was going on, you would still describe lost in an amazingly funny way. And, I feel like a bit of a fool when I read your stuff, because I am that person that takes LOST very seriously, and make all sorts of connections all over the place. I feel like such a loser when you mention something I found hugely significant and life changing and make a funny comment about it. It’s keeping me sane! Thank-you for what you’re doing, because I mean, if i can;t laugh at the way I am obsessed with this shit, then it’s no fun.

Oh my goodness, your recaps are totally hilarious. Love the Jordan/Hunkenstein (my new favorite Jack nickname) line, and so many more in this recap. You really bring humor to a show that so many of us obsess over waaaaaay too much (including myself). You’re very creative, and you should definitely keep it up!!!

“Hurley tells John to keep his chin up. He’s saying that because Hurley doesn’t have one and wants John to appreciate what he’s got. Also, he is a billionaire and doesn’t understand the concept of sadness.”
Laugh out loud funny, just the right side of bitter to remain good natured.

She clearly is lying because if you have terminal cancer you probably shouldn’t be working as a manager at a temp agency. You should be on a remote tropical island.

“As John is hanging streamers for a pity party, the Manager drops the bomb that she has terminal cancer. Snap. In your face.”

It’ll be really interesting for you to read over some of your notes if you decide to go back and watch through the series. You’ll find some of your jokes eerily accurate. In any case keep it up, this is hilarious.

I don’t know if you still read these, but I called him Captain Eyeliner for awhile before I read an interview that he just has dense eyelashes. I totally had a “people have been on the island since the ancient egyptians’ rein” theory for awhile because of his eyeliner and all the hieroglyphics and egyptian god references.
