re: LOST "Everyone Loves Hugo" S6.E12 (Hurley-centric)

Its kind of cool after watching season 6 to actually go back and see how it started. I love the Locke character so far. In my opinion the show might have failed without Terry O'Quinn. Outstanding job and his acting is head and shoulders above most of the other cast members.

The other folks I am interested in early on are Sayid, Jack, and Jin.

I'm ambivalent about Kate at this point. I hear a lot of people bashing her but I personally think she is just middle of the road at this point.

I think Charlie, Claire, Shannon, Michael just suck bad as characters at this point.

This is based on limited viewing of the characters up to midway through season 2 and all of season 6. I'm sure my opinions may change some.

I absolutely loved Desmond's intro at the beginning of season 2. I can see why everyone loves him.

dammit man put up a spoiler alert. I had no idea that Michael is dead yet! I'm only through half way of season 2.

Just kidding. I figure he was probably dead since he in't really on the show anymore. What terrible acting by that guy who plays him. "WAAAAAAALT!" just gets old.

It's not a spoiler if it already happened.

Actually, I think this will be a really good episode where a lot happens. If you look, this is the last standard "character centric" episode of LOST. I think every remaining episode will have a special background; i.e. the episodes will either be

1) Multi-centric
2) Jacob/MIB centric or
3) Centered on a special character we have already had background on this season (maybe Jack).

Yeah, Lenny heard them as did the French team (Rousseau replaced the island broadcast transmission tape with her own), and found out more about the numbers when Lenny sent him off to talk to another guy in the desert (forgot his name) who ended up being cursed by them as well. The numbers brought Rousseau to the island and she ends up pretty crazy too.

We still haven't seen anyone actually record the numbers transmission in the original timeline. I remember there being a theory last season that each number was spoken by a different Lostie...this might make more sense now that we know each number corresponds to a Lostie.

I wonder how many times these numbers have actually been used in lotteries around the country since they were revealed on the show.

Yeah, if they ever hit, everyone will probably get like $4.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Lost characters in movies too. I know there are like 4 in ConAir (which I was watching yesterday) and maybe a couple from Shooter. Ana Lucia's mom is a sheriff. The guy who played Tom from the Others was in it. I can't remember the others I saw off the top of my head.

Tuck, I think I remember you saying you studied quantum physics as it relates to time. Have you ever looked in the concept of "sum over histories"? I saw it mentioned on a Lostpedia theory page and now it's got me in a tizzy.
