A Hurley Episode! *S*
This one starts out with Hurley and his hunny Libby running down the beach. As the Psychologist in Libby tries to explain to Hurley, who’s on the verge of colapse after a short run, that some people’s metabolism is just slower, blah blah, excuse excuse for Hurley’s seeming inability to lose the weight. Hurley reveals to Libby this huge stash of food. We all knew he had one, they’d been giving us clues about it for weeks… He insists that “the Island” won’t *let* him lose weight. Libby asks if he truly *wants* to change, when he says he does, she hands him a jar of Peanut butter and tells him, then change. So then the two of them go on the destructive rampage and throw the food everywhere. My first thought when seeing this, is NOOOOO! Give it away! don’t throw it away! your stranded on an island for goodness sake!
But then, right after they finish destroying the lag bag of Dhama corn chips or whatever, Sun comes running up, looking way more thin than last week, and yammers about “thay found something” and you see that whole host of extras, aka survivors who we don’t get intro’d too, running to the food drop from last week.
Saywer is there, getting pissed cuz people are taking what he considers to be *his* find (even though Jack and Kate are the ones who found it the night before!), and suggests we get alittle more order, Charlie says Saywer isn’t trustworthy enough to be incharge, and when Saywer points out Charlie’s ex-junkie status, Charlie declares Hurley should do it. Hurley freaks out! No way man, no! Libby says she is sure that everyone can be trusted to only take what they need. Saywer has one of his best lines of the night when he says, “Great plan, Moonbeam. After that we can sing Kumbaya and do trust falls.” He he he he! Sawyer gets some really funny lines in this one! Hurley sees a guy in a bathrobe who we know to be Dave from the mental hospital. He goes chasing through the jungle after Dave, only to fall flat on his face.
Later Libby tells him it’s wierd, he said the island wouldn’t let him lose weight, destroyed his stash, and BAM! a food drop. And BTW, she’s proud of him for not freaking out. Ok Libby, if you calling running into the jungle after a guy no on else saw not freaking out…
Later, Hurley starts pigging out on a box of Dharma Fish Crackers (which are actually Pepperidge farm goldfish!) when Dave appears again, and nails Hurley in the gut with a coconut to prove he’s real… Hurley again chases Dave through the jungle, only to burst out of the jungle in the location where Eko and Charlie are busy building something (Eko hasn’t told anyone, but popular suspicion is that it is a church). Hurley asks if they saw a bald guy in a bathrobe run by and Charlie snarks, “Nooo… but I saw a polar bear on rollerblades with a mango.”
Hurley’s falshbacks reveal that Hurley thinks he killed 2 people. His doctor (who is played by the guy who was senator kelley on Xmen!) assures him that the deck was only made to hold 8, and there were 23 people on it! it would have colapsed with or without Hurley. But the big man insists that it didn’t colapse until he stepped out there, and he shouldn’t have. We also learn that the doc has Hurley on clonazepam to stop the visions, cuz apparently Dave is all in Hurley’s head.
Hurley goes to sawyer for drugs. Sawyer tells him no more trades, he’s got enough stuff to open his own chain of mini marts, “Think Sayid needs a job?” LOL… When Hurley tells Sawyer what he needs the meds for, Sawyer takes his jokes too far by saying, “who that guy? GOTCHA!” Hurley has had it. He tackles Saywer into Saywer’s tent, and the tarp falls in around them. the next minute of show is absolutely hi-larious as Hurley proceeds to lay the smack down on sawyer. Saywer treis to esapce out of the massive roil of tarp only to get sucked back in each time, it almost looks like the tarp is eating him, it’s so funny. as the tarp comes off them both, you can hear hurley shouting every nickname Saywer has ever given him as he just keeps punching. Sun and Jin are among the crowd forming to watch Sawyer get the beat down that everyone else on the island wishes they could give him…. Sun tries to tell Jin to break up the fight, and Jin just laughs, throughly enjoying the beat down. Finally Jin tries his best to grab Hurely, but really the Big guy was winding down anyway, and Jin gave him a good excuse to get out of the fight…
After that, Hurley decides he’s going back to the caves, no one lives there and he will be one of *those* guys who live alone, be naked, and throw doodie at people. (seriously, that’s what he said!) on his way, he winds up up eating peanut butter off the jungle floor, and presto, Dave shows up. (notice how he always shows up when Hurley is eating) Dave convines Hurley the whole Island is in Hurley’s head, as evidenced by the fact that the pretty blonde has the hots for the big guy. Dave convinces Hurley that he could end the dream by jumping off the cliff. but before the big guy takes the dive, Libby shows up, all worried and stuff, and talks him down from the cliff.
Meanwhile….. in “Hatchland” Jack has detirmined that Locke has a small hariline fracture, when Locke refuses the wheelchair (actually his old one, but he still hasn’t told anyone that), Kate goes out to look for the crutches they found in the wreckage. On her way back with the crutches, Kate stops by Saywer’s tent to rib him about getting beat up by the island’s sweetest inhabitant (aka Hurley), and Saywer asks’ her, “don’t you have an adventure to get to? I think Timmy fell down a well over that way.” he he he he!
Meanwhile, in “Adventures with Others” Sayid just about puts a bullet in not-Henry after catching him in another lie. AnaLucia stops him though, mostly cuz it was sooooo obvious that even without discussing strategy ahead of time these two are awesomely great at the whole “good cop – bad cop” game. Not-Henry lets slip that bread guy, aka Mr Friendly, aka Zach, aka the head honcho of the “Others”, is a nobody, and that not-henry is way more terrified of what “he” will do if not-henry reveals anything. Locke is pissy about being relativly immobile again. and demands a few minutes with not-henry. When AnaLucia, who is the newest guard, says she doesn’t think that’s a good idea, Locke insists he’s earned it, and he’s not asking. Not-Henry tells Locke that God can’t see this island, no one can. Locke is now convinced that not-Henry got caught on purpose and that the “others” were looking for the hatch, at which point, not-henry informs Locke that the hatch is a joke. he insisits that he did not touch the computer in any way, the numbers went to zero, some weird hieroglyphics popped up, and then…. nothing. the clock reset, and everything was suddenly ok again.
Then as the show ends, we are treated to one last flashback, a repeat of an earlier scene with Hurley, who is now minus Dave, to illustrate the Dave never really exsisted. and as the camera pans around the room in the mental hospital, we come up behind a brunette who is reciveing her daily dose of pills from the nurse. the camera slowly circles to reveal her face, as we hear the nurse say, “Here’s your pill, Libby.” WOAH!!!! it’s Libby! brown hair, not blonde, but totally Libby! oh wow…. so is really a psycologist who went wakko, or a wakko who went doctor? or a wakko pretending to be a doctor?
Way too kuel! Not much in the way of explaining about the island here… there is the theroy that based on this, the whole show might be like that northern exposure or whatever it was weird show that turned out the whole thing was in the snowglobe of an autistic child…. BUT! the producers and Powers that Be have already said that is not the case. so who knows…. but I’m looking forward to the next episode! *S*
