that was a great one.
i thought the korean ghost story was one of the funniest moments ever on lost...
how CAN someone eject from a helicopter? when they first pulled up the visor i thought it was sanjaya! then maybe nadia... but it's not. (it's naomi - and des' fiance was named ruth... biblical scholars take note!)
*****
this is from doc jensen's EW recap - i'd like to think i would have gone there if i was still writing the long ass recaps...
"In ''Catch 22,'' the characters Ruth and Naomi have nothing to do with each other. But in The Bible, they are the stars of the Book of Ruth. Well, it just so happens that the book right before Ruth is the Book of Judges. The very last story in the Book of Judges is the story of a war among the tribes of Israel. The bad guy in this story: the Tribe of Benjamin. The war started over a murder that the other tribes believed needed to be avenged; it ended with the near-obliteration (''The Purge,'' perhaps?) of the Benjaminites. Here's where it gets creepy: In the aftermath, the people of Israel felt badly about wiping out Benjamin's people. So they decided to repopulate his tribe by forcing the women from another city to join the tribe of Benjamin. You know: to make babies and stuff.
What does this foreshadow for Lost? I think it means that war is coming to the beach. Castaways vs. Others. Survival of the species. At long last: Lord of the Flies time, people.

one thing i did have a gripe with - when des is telling charlie about how penny found him once before and told him with enough money and determination, blah blah blah - don't you think that just maybe he would have said, 'oh yeah brutha, this is strange, right after she tracked me down i went for a jog and met jack for the first time.'
that kind of stuff doesn't usually bother me, but this time it did.
the ping pong table has become like lost's central perk or warsaw tavern. someone's gotta build a bar next to it. bernard and rose could run it, and they could spin it off into a sitcom or something.
nice to see exactly why it is that des refers to everyone as 'brother'. being a monk will probably get you in the habit (so would being a nun, but that's a different kind of habit altogether). and what was up with the picture on the head monks desk of him and the pawn shop/jewelry store lady (at first i thought it might be the other that presided at juliet's trial...)? is it his sister? how strange was that? they both seemed to know something about des' "higher calling" during his flashbacks, and they're close. crazy. were they pushing him toward the island for some reason? fucked up shit, yo.
Moriah vineyards = des' near sacrifice of charlie (biblical scholars take note! again!).
oh, and jack and kate are starting to remind me of jim and pam... although kate gets a lot nekkider.
