eclecticism

Scribbled notes while watching last night’s episode of Lost. Spoilers, obviously, so only read further if you want to…

* Reprise: Charlie and drugs, Charlie and Claire * Oh…he does have a few statues there. I missed that before. * Flashback * Charlie and Liam as kids * He gets a piano for Xmas? Nice! * Whoa…family issues. * Adult Liam…in a diaper? Not pretty. * And Charlie wakes up. * Drug dream? Sober nightmare? * You can’t make up with Claire that easily, Charlie. * (Especially when you’re still hoarding heroin.) * Flashback * So Charlie’s an uncle…and lying to protect his brother. * He must still be (mostly?) clean at this point. * Heh: “Tailies” — Hurley’s word for the survivors from the tail. * Sawyer just cannot resist being a shit. * Charlie…hallucinating? * Rescues Aaron from floating out to sea * Claire and Charlie’s mom: “You have to save he baby, he’s in terrible danger” * Love the religious motif * Another dream (?) — wakes up in the surf, holding Aaron. * Claire’s freaked (understandably) * Sawyer’s playing Cupid, in his own jackassish way * Okay, it’s evasive, but Charlie’s got a point (Kate and the horse, everybody seeing Walt, etc.) * But he’s still lying about the heroin stash. * So is he using or not? * Prairie and I don’t think so. * Flashback * Okay, this is a horrid commercial * The whole band’s in diapers * That’s what Liam was wearing in the first dream sequence * And drug-addled Liam screws it up * One of the characters noticed the brand-new washer and dryer! * Hurley just froze… * She’s quite the flirt! * Okay, say something nice Hurley, it’s a cute top…good boy. * Eko’s marking the trees he likes…huh? * Dream analysis by Eko * They have to baptize Aaron? Okay… * Charlie’s really freaking Claire out * Not that he didn’t before * Maybe he took the religious symbolism a bit too seriously? * Jack’s really working on getting Ana-Lucia set up. * Where do they keep getting those blue tarps? Do all planes carry a huge stash of these things or something? * Ana: “You hittin’ that?” * Not much for subtlety, that girl. * Charlie’s got at least six statues. * Well, five now. * Flashback * Liam/Karen/Megan: nice (if obvious) parallel to Charlie/Claire/Aaron. * Which Charlie, of course, isn’t really paying attention to. * …and Locke finds Charlie with the heroin in his hand. * Locke: “You’ve given up the right to be believed.” * Prairie thinks Locke’s evil. * Claire wants a little extra protection * She’s thinking about the baptism comment, though. * Is Locke going to show her the statues? * Nope…thought about it, though. * What’s Charlie lighting? * Will Sahid connect that Charlie was the one who set the fire? * Oh…he’s creating a diversion… * …so he can take Aaron. * Flashback * Liam sold the piano * Using the money for rehab and fixing his family * Don’t do it, Charlie… * …or, okay, do it. * Confrontation… * …and Locke takes Aaron, gives him to Claire. * And beats Charlie down. Heh. * Nobody’s going to be fond of Charlie for a while. * At least Charlie says he was still clean. * Eeww…do they really need to show the stitching? * Locke’s changing the gun cabinet combo again? * Baptisms for Aaron and Claire, courtesy of Eko. * Hmmm…interesting that Locke’s not destroying the heroin. Just locking it away. * And up comes Charlie’s hood…
