TPTB #1: ...and that's the mystery of the island!

TPTB #2: Um, you do realize we've got another whole season to do yet, right?

TPTB #1: Seriously?

TPTB #2: Pretty sure.

TPTB #1: [ponders] You know what this show needs? More things that make no sense!

TPTB #2: Aaaaall right. Let's say I agree just so I can find out where you're going with this.

TPTB #1: Okay okay okay. Picture this: it's the 1950s and the island is inhabited by the military!

TPTB #2: Um...okay. Whose military?

TPTB #1: ... Australia is close! So we've got military Marine-type men and women wandering around--

TPTB #2: Women were part of integrated military units back then?

TPTB #1: Dude, it's the Australian army.

TPTB #2: Yeah, but...

TPTB #1: Australian. They probably had kangaroos too.

TPTB #2: Okay, we'll come back to that later.

TPTB #1: OH! And get this! They've got an H-bomb! It'll look cool hanging from rickety scaffolding out in the jungle!

TPTB #2: The fuck? Why would the Australian army have an H-bomb hanging from scaffolding outside?

TPTB #1: IT WILL LOOK COOL.

TPTB #2: Yeah, but--

TPTB #1: COOL.

TPTB #2: M'kaaaaaay.

TPTB #1: And DUN DUN DUN! Charles Widmore is a soldier in the army!

TPTB #2: Wait wait wait. Charles Widmore is Australian?

TPTB #1: Oh, I don't know. He's got one of those funny accents. I'm pretty sure he's not Scottish since he doesn't sound like McGruff the Crime Dog.

TPTB #2: McGruff the Crime Dog didn't have an accent.

TPTB #1: Exactly.

TPTB #2: ...

TPTB #1: What?

TPTB #2: So you do know how all this stuff will tie into the solution, right?

TPTB #1: Hell no. But by that time I'll be sipping a drink in my hut in Thailand.

TPTB #2: ... I should have gone to Knight Rider.

Bwah! It amuses me that so many people think Alan Dale is actually American.

(He's not even an Aussie, he's a Kiwi. But like all good and successful things the Aussies tell everyone he's one of theirs. Phar Lap anyone? ;o) )

Having just watched the episode, I am a bit *blink WTF now?* about the whole H Bomb thing. But am sure the girl said American army, 'cause there was the whole "and you have a Chinese guy because...?" thing.

HEH! I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, I'm afraid. :D

It's..."what?" :D

She thought what's-his-name was part of the American army. Dale? The scientist dude. But the soldiers running around had Australian accents. (Or something like that.)

*goes back to episode*

"You can't expect me to believe that you, a Chinese man and a woman are all part of the United States Military."

;o)

Alan "Don't call me Jim Robinson" Dale plays ye olde Widmore, the young Widmore had a fairly believeable Brit one thank God. I cringed when everyone at Oxford was speaking insanely posh English. I've been to Oxford. Nu-uh.

"You can't expect me to believe that you, a Chinese man and a woman are all part of the United States Military."

Right. She thought he and the others were part of the American army. But if they wanted me to think that she and the others in her group was part of the American army, they shouldn't have hired actors with other accents. :D

HEH!!

Um, sorry for butting in, but I thought her and the others, including Widmore, were Others, capital O. And that they killed the American army people who invaded the island to do their nuclear experiments and refused to leave, because apparently Richard was ordered to do so (by Jacob I suppose).

...no?

*iz confuzed*

I don't know, English isn't my first language and accents confuse me. I can distinguish British, American and Scottish, but that's it...

I think that's right - and they thought that this new group of people (our band of time-traveling islanders) was part of the whole American army thing.

Wait, what?!

And Alan Dale is ours because he moved to Australia and was on Neighbours for forever and I think he was Kylie Minogue's dad or something. Waaay before my time and Neighbours is crap.

Anyway...I think I may have to watch this episode.

and I think he was Kylie Minogue's dad or something.

That's an automatic claim right there!

Anyway...I think I may have to watch this episode.

It was...confusing.

I'm finding it better to just sit back , look at the pretty and let my brain go out to lunch this season. It makes the episode better and my brain thanks me for it.

Just nod and go "that makes sense, when's Sawyer going to get his top off?"

Apparently I need to do that as well. Either that or just wait to watch the whole thing after it's done.

Bwahahaha!
I love you and I must link this review EVERYWHERE. Anyone asks me what I thought of this episode, I'm linking them here!

HA!! :D

Ok, no fair posting these things when you've got hidden cameras in their writing studios. ;)

Shhhhhh! They're much more amusing when they don't know they're being watched.

All the Island things I just smile and nod.
I did freak out over the naming of Desmond and Penny's son to be Charlie.

I thought that was terribly sweet. :)

It is sweet......but I still want my original Charlie and his girl Claire.

okay, so i dont watch lost, but was reading this and totally knew what you were referring to, and i was laughing so hard at your little commentary :) you really do need to get into writing for something big, i can see that, tv, movies, something! :)
thanks for making me smile again!!

:D Glad it gave you a grin!
