Episode 3X16
OS


Apparently, Jacob gave Hurley some time off to learn from Walter how to be a better boss through pharmaceuticals. Not much else to do but wake and bake on the Island now that smokey is gone.



Nice opening for what appears to be a monster of the week. I somewhat remember this one.

Who can blame Peter for wanting to avoid a street fair, but lying to Olivia so he can play with the data from his MURDER DISCS is going to bite him on the arse if he doesn't watch out.

The guy who got away sure isn't a great criminal. Who wears a mask to conceal identity only to take it off when people are around?


This moron in the first movie. About 20 times.


The moment Cameron learned how to defy gravity.


The moment Winston sang Defying Gravity.

This smiling is kind of freaking me out

WTF! Why say that? Peter dodged a bullet there. He is lucky Olivia didn't go back to being pissed at Peter.

So shapeshifters from alternate dimensions and million year old civilizations burying technology are fine but Olivia dismisses aliens immediately.


Lets take a moment to understand the flawed motive of Bad Guy of the Week. He is making cripples lighter, but what does that have to do with paralyzation? They still wouldn't be able to feel or move their legs. Sure it would make it easier for them to pull themselves around but I don't see that the quality of life would be remarkably better. So he killed all of those people to make it a bit easier for his paralyzed son to move about. Nice.


And so it begins! The arrival of old croaking voiced Olivia

Episode 3X17
Stowaway

Back to back episodes with Losties.


So we are to believe she drank the magnets but didn't pass them since she visited Bell? In this case, we would have been better off with no explanation.

What exactly does Peter think he could do if Bell decided to stay forever?

By the way, on my first watch, I complained about people sometimes having no REAL reaction to crazy events on this show, and I was mocked for being wrong.

Bell and Walter just PROVED the afterlife. Months after his death Bell's consciousness was brought back. There probably isn't a more important mind shattering event on this show and yet they are standing around and discussing the event like they would discuss a boring episode of CSI:Miami.

Just think about it. Months later a person could re-enter a new host body. We would go straight from Stem Cell bans to allowing full grown clones in an instant if we knew we could essentially live forever in a clone host. This really is a life altering event for all on mankind and nobody is excited.

I already hated the Bellivia voice but this time since I remember hating the Bellivia voice, it now seems to be amplified. Olvia is almost unwatchable.



Wearing a turtleneck to hide her old man neck.

What perversions did Bell get up to since Olivia's consciousness is asleep? Similar to the SGU rape stones?



Ha! Astrid knows what I am talking about. She just buttoned up her blouse.

Nice to see Lincoln a tad incredulous to the soul vampire theorem however, since he is the one who said she can't be killed he really shouldn't be so incredulous.

They cheated here. There is no Azrael story in the bible and nothing that matches the story the nun just told even in the Apocrypha.

So nobody on the train noticed a bag left under the seat. More shoddy train security.

So Lincoln quickly went from incredulous about Soul Vampires to postulating Soul Hitchhikers.

Did I miss something? Didn't she appear dead when she was shot in the head when her family was murdered? Why do they just assume she is really dead this time. Maybe given the damage, it will take time for her body to heal. Now they will bury her where she may be trapped to live out eternity in a coffin. That sure would suck.

Episode 3X18
Bloodline

Easy smile is back.

Really? They inject her with who the heck knows what into her fetus but then give her a PILL to put her back to sleep. No thoughts that she would SPIT THE PILL OUT! Weak writing. Just giving her pills for no other reason than to allow her to escape later. Do pills even knock a person out in a short period of time?


Bubbles is back.

I have a problem with MOTIVE again on this one. What was Walter's motive to rush the pregnancy? I don't see anything from the alternate universe that shows imminent destruction. Why would Walter risk his grandchild with such a risky procedure?

So they can treat Spider Blood and Burnt Off Faces, but they can't treat eclampsia which is actually treatable for the mother in our little universe?

Does Bubbles know anything about birthing babies?

Dear lord! Don't ever look for animated pictures for Don't Know Nuthin About Birthin Babies from Gone with the Wind. That wasn't pretty!

Boy, those ambulances in the alternate universe sure are slow. Lincoln and Bubbles got there but an ambulance can't. Yes I know, Bubbles knew a secret shortcut through China Town.



Would they really send one of the same Evil Doctors into Olivia's room to get the blood sample? Once again, what is the rush? Are events happening more often over there? I sure didn't notice panic from the Alternate Fringe Division.

I didn't hate any of these three episodes, but also didn't love them.
