Lost s02e02: Adrift
Television 09/29/2005 |Scribbled notes while watching last night’s episode of Lost. Spoilers, obviously, so only read further if you want to…
* (Mentioned by Prairie before the show started:) Is Desmond nocturnal, or running on a time schedule offset from “real” time? He was waking up and getting breakfast when the hatch was blown, which was late at night on the surface. * In the bunker: lights behind the blinds to simulate daylight. * Desmond: “Are you him?” Who? * (later) He’s been waiting for someone…a replacement to man the bunker? Apparently he’s been waiting a long time. * Oooh, Jaws gets a cameo! * Sawyer dropped the gun in the ocean…ha! Ah, no, just some of the bullets. * Flashback: Michael got railroaded by those lawyers. * Locke’s being crafty (convincing Desmond to tie Kate up, slipping Kate the knife). * Sawyer figured out that the Others were after Walt, not Claire’s baby. * Desmond: “So the world’s still out there?!” * Later, asked about people getting sick. Apparently there either was (or he was told there was) some sort of dangerous virus on the surface. * The numbers: * Typing the sequence into the computer resets a countdown timer. * Counts from 108.00 to zero. * Was shown flipping to 4.26 before Locke keyed in the sequence. * Desmond was probably waking up to the “alert” beep from the computer telling him that it was about to run down (alert starts at 5.00?). If each unit is a minute, has he been unable to sleep for more than ~90 minutes at a time (shades of Battlestar Galactica’s ‘33’)? * Desmond didn’t seem to recognize Jack through the scope…unclear if he did after Jack recognized him. * That logo (the one seen throughout the bunker) was on the shark’s tail! Genetic engineering? * Flashback: Michael gave Walt a polar bear. * There’s Jin! Beat up, arms held behind his back with a stick. Captured/held by the Others? * Oooh…yeah. The Others. Whee!

Wouldn’t this be s02e02? Or are you re-watching the first episode?

Heh. I need an editor.

Thanks for the recap. I watched last night, but got a phone call during the “numbers” portion (who the hell calls during Lost, anyway?)

Heh. I need an editor.
I’d totally edit your blog as a full-time job. Does it pay well?

Did you catch the mark on the tail of the shark that was identical to the patch on Desmond’s shirt?

Did anyone notice what the logo on Desmond’s shirt said? “DHARMA” Does it mean anything to anyone? There was a swan on it. I believe this is an experiment of some sort. The technology looked as old as the sixties. Did anyone else notice that the numbers add up to 108?
