Lost, one hour later...

Michael, Michael, Michael. What were you THINKING?

I guess that's what we find out next week. Man, I feel sorry for Vinay Menon (edit: he emailed me back; turns out he watched it).

So. If you get caught DWI on the island (Hawaii, not 'mystery island'), your character gets shot. Ah, well.

Actually, that was a bit odd, since they weren't the first cast members to blow high. I'm pretty sure some of the male leads have been caught enjoying themselves.

Anyway, tragedy, we must go forward, what is Michael DOING? And could the US trailer have made him look any more sinister?

Man, it's Oz all over again.

YOU'RE BLOWING MY MIND!

It will indeed be a merry Christmas. Or Happy Thanksgiving.

If I were a girl, I'd squee.

Squee! Squee like a little girl! :-)

I think it's pretty obvious that Michael is letting "Henry Gale" go, which is prolly the deal he made with The Others - they prolly told him Henry for Walt, but they'll go back on it.

And he shot himself (looked to me like in the arm) so he can tell them that Henry killed the girls and shot him and got away.

That's my theory.

Now, if it's OZ then Mister Eko has to take over and start fucking boys.

The trailer seemed to indicate Henry was still there. I may need to re-watch it.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

I can't speak for the trailer; I don't watch them - they give too much away, and I already know I'm watching next week's ep, so my attitude is why bother.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Yep, I was right, Michael claimed Henry Gale shot him.

[dogbreathcanada.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was fucking surprising ... two deaths in one ep ... perhaps Michael being blackmailed or brainwashed by the Hanso Org peeps.

I wonder if their deaths (departures from show) are really related to their DWI charges? Seems a little more than mere coincidence.

[thebitterguy]

The media seems to be playing that Rodridguez was only doing it for a year (how Eccleston of her!) and Watros (and Libby might still be alive, who knows?) has been cast as a recurring character on another show.

So the current spin is "it had nothing to do with it", which is possible since they've never reacted like this to anyone else's brushes with the law.

On the other hand, it may be clever Hollywood LIES!

I just can't figure out why they'd need Michael to kill AL. I mean, if they wanted her dead, they'd just send someone in to finish her, Ethan Rom styles.

If Libby is dead ... the only reason is the DWI ... otherwise, why build up a story arc between her and Hurley and ruin the anticipation of the payoff when Hurley remembers that he first saw her in the crazy bin.

Ana Lucia dead? Really?

Heck everybody. Safe to watch the show again. They shot the shark they jumped over ;)

[scapersuse.livejournal.com]

Hee - can I quote you in my LJ?

[thebitterguy]

Ah, man. That's what I get for replying from my.livejournal.com.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

You certainly may :)

According to this article, that's not the case. (http://cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&this_cat=Television&action=page&type_id=&cat_id=270355&obj_id=51171) And I gotta say, that's the worst spoiler warning ever.
