LOST Update: Jeremy Bentham

Jensen’s Preview:  What you should have read before watching on Wednesday evening.  Still has great info.

Jensen’s Recap: A quote:

To be honest, I was surprised to see Locke resurrected so quickly. Whenever I envisioned his reanimation, I always saw it at the end of an episode — a big reveal, a swell of Michael Giacchino score, and then BONG!…title card. Nope. We got the Risen Locke right away, in a moment that belongs on a clip reel of Quasi-Mystical Pop Culture Characters Who Introduce Themselves With A Dramatic Removal Of An Oversized Hoody. (See: Obi Wan Kenobi; Gandalf; Spock in the original Star Trek movies.)

Tom on Life with Mrs. B from Facts of Life:

A recent episode of Life, my second favorite TV show, had Tom appear, again as a bad guy, biker dude.  His mother, played by the lady from Facts of Life, got scammed, so he scammed the scammers.  I still get chills thinking about Sawyer shooting him in cold blood.

“That’s for takin the boy off the raft.”

The weird sky behind Hurley at Santa Rosa  Mental Facility

Did anyone else notice the Hawaiian skyline above Hurley’s Mental Facility behind the haze and occasional flashes of white?  I don’t know if it was a hazy day or some remastering to hide the local background which may or may not be similar to Santa Rosa, CA.  I doubt it is plot related, but I did notice it.

A good ep, but not a great one.

For some reason I didn’t enjoy this ep as much as I thought I would.  Maybe my expectations were too high.  I knew from the previews that Locke was alive on the island.  There was some interesting background about Widmore and a shocking scene with Ben.  We knew Locke would die, but we only thought we knew how.  But overall, it was filler, part of the story that had to be told.

Most interesting quote from the ep:

Charles Widmore: ”There’s a war coming, John, and if you’re not back on the Island when that happens, the wrong side is going to win.”

Clouds, Clouds, and more Clouds

This is just a throw-away post to say, “hello.” So, “Hello!”

We enjoyed the last few days at my in-laws in a neighboring state and relaxed and did nothing.

I do plan to post some more as a response to the great discussion on a Christian’s use/involvement of Government, but it will probably be next week, after I have had more time to think about it. I definitely appreciate all the comments and emails that came as a response. I am thinking theologically as well as sociological, in chewing on everyone’s thoughts.

I put clouds in the subject, text, and tags just because 90 percent of the hits this blog gets are all related to the one cloud picture I posted a while back. It is amazing how many people do searches for “clouds.” I figure this is a way to draw more traffic to my site. Maybe then, I will make John’s list.

I know my links to lost stuff and bizarre news and pop culture, and my random ramblings about nothing at all, my allegiance to Neil Diamond and my fear of spiders are not as “deep” or “interesting” or “profound” or “well-thought-out” or “mature” or “coherent” as blogs by Patrick Mead and the other blogs listed in John Dobb’s Top Ten, but I have forgiven him, so I digress.
(obligatory smiley face for those who don’t realize how silly I can be and don’t recognize my Chris Farley reference in the last paragraph.)

Have a great week! I’ll be bloggin’ with ya later.
