Hurley's Time to Shine Part 1

Season 1 Episode 9: Solitary

NOTE: I am making this two parts to cover all the important information of this episode!

I don't know about you guys but in my opinion I think this was the coolest and most exciting episode yet. There is so much to talk about and a lot of interesting stuff to be told.

The episode starts out with Sayid sitting on the beach looking at pictures of a girl (Sayid left the group). He sees an odd object lying in the sand. He gets up and wanders over to the object realizing that it is a rope. He pulls the rope out of the sand and starts to walk, following the rope. Meanwhile, Jack is helping Sawyer put new wrap on his knife wound from Sayid. They start to trash talk and Sawyer brings Kate into it, so Jack tells him to tie his own bandages and stomps off.

(Back to Sayid) He is walking with the rope until he almost walks right into a thick wire. He steps over the wire but immediately gets pulled up into a net trap tangled around his leg. A few minutes later, Sayid passes out. When he walks up he hears footsteps and becomes nervous and scared. A knife quickly comes into view and cuts a different rope which makes Sayid fall. A person walks up to him right when he loses his conscious and passes out yet again. He wakes up to being tied to a bedpost and himself laying on a bed. A woman's voice talks to him asking him where Alex is. Sayid doesn't know Alex and so responds saying he doesn't know who he is. The woman electrocutes him. She repeats this a few times until he tells her that he followed a rope here because he thought that it had something to do with the distress signal from the french woman. The woman is named Danielle who sent out the distress call. She then knocks him out.

Back at the inland camp Hurley receives a few bags from Locke. He looks in them and freaks out in happiness. Hurley later on takes a shirt and whatever he found in the bag and runs away. Jack calls after him but only giggles back. A little later Charlie talks to Jack and says that Hurley wants him to come check out what he has been doing. Jack and Michael walk into a open field where Hurley is. He introduces them to a two-hole golf course that he built. At first Jack and Michael are mad and asked him questions like why would you be wasting your time on this, and why have you been screwing around while we are all at danger and trying to survive. They quickly snap out of their moods and get trapped into the fun. They both get really into it, and the four of them start to have a friendly competition. It seemed like Jack and Michael were on a team, and Hurley and Charlie on the other team.

Part II coming soon!

Who really is Sawyer?

Season 1 Episode 8: Confidence Man


Kate is walking on the beach alone, when she is upon clothes. She turns and sees Sawyer skinny dipping in the ocean. Immediately after, Boone is caught going through Sawyer's horde and gets beat up by Sawyer. Shannon helps Boone hobble to Jack asking for help. He tells Jack that it was Sawyer who beat him up because he was looking for an inhaler because Shannon has asthma. Jack knows that this is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. Sayid and Jack confront Sawyer and demand for the medicine but he will not budge. They let Kate talk to him. He shows her a letter that a kid wrote to him and makes her read it aloud. It is very disturbing, and pretty much says that Sawyer killed his parents because he had intercourse with the kid's mom and the dad both killed his wife and himself.

Sun, the Korean woman tells Michael that she could probably help Shannon with her asthma (Remember, Michael is the only person who knows that she can speak english). She recruits Michael to help her. Meanwhile Jack and Sayid are becoming even more paranoid that Sawyer won't tell them where the inhalers are. Jack agrees to let Sayid use violence to get Sawyer to tell them. Sayid uses minimal tortue but is bad enough to make Sawyer scream. Sawyer falls apart and tells them that he will only tell Kate. Sawyer exclaims he needs a kiss to tell her. She reluctantly agrees realizing that Shannon's asthma is the bigger problem. After the kiss, Sawyer tells Kate that he doesn't have the medication. Sayid rushes in. Sawyer managed to uncuff his hand and the too lunge at each other. The fight ends up with Sayid's knife in Sawyer's arm.

The next day Sawyer wakes up and Kate is watching him closely. Kate talks to Sawyer about the letter. He tells her that Sawyer isn't his real name, it is the kid's name. The letter also actually written by Sawyer to another man, and the name Sawyer is just an alias. He explains to Kate that con man ruined his family so he became one too (If you want better detail on this last part the conversation between Kate and Sawyer is 35 minutes into the show).

Charlie Mans Up

Season 1 Episode 7: The Moth

Charlie is playing his guitar in the cave area, obviously struggling and in pain because of his drug withdrawals. Locke asks him to go on a walk with him, so he goes. Charlie starts running and it sounds like a boar is chasing him, but suddenly the boar gets trapped in a net, made by Locke. Charlie complains about his drugs and Locke decides to let Charlie ask for his drugs three times, and on the third time he will get them. Charlie has been getting flashbacks from his brother who is also in the band named Liam. Liam is the reason that Charlie started using drugs. Jack stops by the beach only to grab some of his stuff, and vital recourses. Kate and Jack get into a little argument but eventually Jack just walks away. Right when he leaves Sayid comes up with a plan to track down the french signal that has been transmitting for 16 years. He recruits Kate and Boone to help him out. The plan is to set up a triangular signal pattern with a transceiver on each triangle point to close in on the signal. To tell each other that they are in place they use bottle rockets to act like a flare gun. They start to hike to get to their assigned areas.

Meanwhile Jack returns to the cave and gets in another argument but this time with Charlie. They are inside a cave when it suddenly collapses. Charlie barely makes it out. Everyone there starts to dig to try to get Jack back. Charlie decides to run down to the beach to get more help, Hurley tells Charlie to tell Kate too. When Charlie gets there he tells everyone so Michael and a few more people rush up to help but Kate is missing. Sawyer informs him what Sayid has in plan for. Sawyer says he would tell her. He finds Sayid and Kate but doesn't tell Kate what has happened. Charlie makes it back to the cave. Jack is pinned down inside the cave so they need someone to crawl in and unpin him. Charlie steps up and goes into the tunnel. The tunnel collapses so now both of them are trapped.

Kate finds her triangle point. Sayid leaves her and Sawyer so he can go to his point. Sawyer tells Kate the new of Jack being trapped. She leaves in a flash and lets Sawyer be responsible for setting the transceiver off. When Kate arrives at the camp she learns that Jack and Charlie are both trapped in the cave. She panics and starts digging. Inside the collapsed cave Jack asks Charlie about his drug addiction. He offers his help and Charlie seems grateful. A minute later Charlie sees a moth and finds light. The too trapped people dig their way up and find themselves outside. They surprise the camp by arriving out of the blue.

All of the bottle rockets went off and Sayid finds a signal and starts to close in on the repeating message. Suddenly he gets hit from behind by a stick which knocks him out cold. Back at the cave Charlie asks Locke for his drugs for the third and last time. Locke honors his deal and hands him the drugs. Instead off walking away, Charlie just throws the drugs in the fire.

The Sun is Rising

Season 1 Episode 6: House of the Rising Sun

In the last episode Jack finds a cove type place with fresh water while he was chasing his white rabbit. Today, he gathers a small group of people to go and get water for the whole camp. The time spent gathering water he realizes that the place could be survivable for the camp. Back at camp the asian man runs and tackles Michael into the water and starts to punch him and try to drown him. Sayid and Sawyer rush to Michael's aid and capture the asian man. They then handcuff the man. Sayid tries to question Michael by asking him why the man was trying to kill him. Jack and Kate bring the water back down to the camp while Locke and Charlie stay to clean up. Locke is suspicious of Charlie, and secretly tries to find out what Charlie is hiding.

During the episode the asian woman had many flash backs of her husband. At first he was a very loving man but turned into a frightening person. To marry her and to get her father's blessing he started to work for him. One night he comes home with a lot of blood all of his suit and hands. She tries asking him what he did, but he tells her that he does everything her father tells him to do. Her husband starts to seem like a abusive man. He already controls the relationship more than she does. At the airport before the crash she had made a plan to escape from him and make it look like she was kidnapped. She panics and decides not to do what she had planned and joins her husband on the airplane.

Locke discovers that Charlie is a drug addict. Locke finds his guitar which is on a cliff side and decides to make Charlie a deal. He confronts him and tells him if he gives up the drugs he will find his guitar. Charlie agrees and instantly becomes happy with his long lost guitar. Locke does realize that Charlie will start to feel the drug withdrawal. Back at camp Jack starts to convince some people to move into the cove area where they can easily survive. The only thing blocking people from moving is if a boat passes by they will still be on that island.

The asian woman walks to Michael and speaks to him in english. The woman tells him that her husband tried to kill him because Michael was wearing her father's watch which is precious to her husband and to have honor he must protect that watch. She also tells him that she needs help, and that her husband has a temper (Her name is Sun). Michael talks to the asian man and tells him to stay away from him and his son (I'm not sure if the man understood Michael). Michael also tosses the watch at him.

Jack and the people who want to move in the cove finish packing and make their way up toward the mountain, and toward their new home.

Find your White Rabbit (Part 2)

The camp is running out of water, and people are starting to go into panic mode. Sayid and Kate see that the Asian couple has gotten water mysteriously. Sayid yells at them, asking them where they got it. It is like a battle of two languages. After a few hand signals the husband points to Sawyer. Seems obvious huh? Sawyer of course stole the water, seems like he would do it. Sayid says that Sawyer is a rat and rats always lead them to their hole. And he does. The find his secret stash, although no water is there. Sawyer says that he traded his water for a fish that the couple caught.

Meanwhile Jack is following his dad (His white rabbit). Jack is running for him, and trips and almost falls off a cliff when superhero Locke saves Jack just in time. Locke gives Jack a talk, and tells him about the white rabbit, and how Jack needs to find it. Locke leaves Jack to continue searching for water, while Jack goes back on his hunt for his rabbit. Jack walks into a cove area where there is fresh water running down the rock like a little waterfall, and there is also a lot of baggage from the crash. Jack sees the coffin carrying his father. He walks over and breaks open the coffin but his father is not inside (I'm confused).

Back at camp they find the thief who stole all the water. The person is giving water to the pregnant lady, Claire. The man gets thrown out of the tent. It is Boone, who earlier in the episode was trying to save the drowning woman but himself was also drowning. The camp gets rivaled up at Boone when Jack magically appears out of the forrest to lecture the camp about how everyone is getting mad at Boone when he was earlier trying to save a drowning woman. He also shares the news of fresh water up in the cove that he was exploring (picture above) and how he is going to lead a team of people to get water the next morning. I'm thinking that Jack's white rabbit is the empty coffin in the coven where his father was supposed to be. I don't understand why he isn't in the coffin because Jack had to break open it to see if his father was in there, so his body couldn't have fallen out. Maybe we will learn in the next episode by right now I'm super confused but also very excited about watching the next episode.

Predictions for Next Episode
Jack and his team will obviously find the water from when Jack was chasing his white rabbit. I also think that Claire will give birth to her baby when Jack is gone getting water which will cause a huge problem for the people at the camp. I think that Boone will try to find a way to revive his reputation but by doing that he could perhaps dig himself deeper in a hole.

Find your White Rabbit (Part 1)

Season 1 Episode 5: White Rabbit

NOTE: I am making this two parts to cover all the important information of this episode!

A confusing episode if I don't say so myself, but also a very interesting and vital episode. It starts off as Jack as a little boy and he and his friend are getting beat up by some older kids. Now, this is the confusing part of the episode because I really didn't know how this applied or connected to anything in this episode. So, then you see Jack's Dad talking to him and telling him do not stand up and be the leader because you don't have what it takes, and if I were his son I would be like "Wow, thanks pops" (sarcastically).

Charlie rushes to Jack and wakes him up talking to him that there is a women in the water. Jack gets up and gets into the water as fast as flash the superhero can run. He saves one person, Boone who also had the intentions to save the women. Jack doesn't realize it yet but Boone tells him that there is another women in the water. Confused Jack doesn't make a decision to save the women and instead save Boone. Personally, I don't blame him in that situation because if I were him would probably be freaking out.

Jack sees the man in the suit again. He rushes towards the beginning of the forrest and falls down. The man turns around and it's his dad, but remember last episode how I thought that Jack was hallucinating? Well, I think he still his. Then Jack has a flash back. He is at his childhood house where his parents continue to live and you see him and his mother talking about his father. His father is a little unusual and so he leaves the house when he is upset, or just whenever he wants to. His father has gone to Australia and his mother wants him to go get him and bring him back. Jack doesn't want to and his mother is kind of expecting him to do that for her. Reluctantly, Jack goes to Australia. 

Back at camp, the group is running out of water. They don't know what to do and the pregnant lady, Claire just fainted and doctor Jack is missing. So they try to treat her by themselves. She needs water but someone stole all the water. Kate, Sayid, and Locke have a discussion and decided that they need water. Well duh? And so the once paralyzed man, Locke is determined that he will go out and find the much needed water for the camp. He offers himself because he knows where to look.

Walking Once Again

Season 1 Episode 4: Walkabout

In this episode, so much had happened. Where do I even start off? Ok, at the beginning you see the "mysterious man" (the name I gave him) laying on the ground. He wiggles his toes to see if his legs are broken. It seems like a normal thing to do, checking to see if anything was broken, right?  Well I don't think so.

Vincent is barking. He doesn't stop and so people start to wake up. There is a weird noise like something is in the fuselage. Jack and Sawyer go to check it out while being trailed by a group of people. They find boars in there scavenging on the dead people from the crash. Everyone runs away and the boars also run away. In the morning the camp realizes that there isn't enough food, so what do they do to get more? You guessed it, hunt boars. Getting ready to head out to hunt boars Kate stops by Sayid and sees that he is working on a signal receptor that can pick up a transmission, because he said if the french women had that distress call for sixteen years there would be a significant energy source. Leading the group, the mysterious man, named Locke. His two companions, Kate and Michael. When they head out Michael gets injured by a boar slitting his leg. Locke leaves Kate and Michael alone to get back to camp while Locke continues the hunt.

During the hunt, Boone and Shannon (step-siblings) fight about staying alive because Boone is fed up with Shannon because he believes that Shannon can't survive without the help of him. He challenges her to ketch a fish. Shannon recruits Charlie who thens gets Hurley to ketch the fish for him. Charlie presents the fish to Shannon in front of Boone feeling proud. Charlie realizes that he had been used by her. Throughout the episode Jack goes over to the lonely Rose who is sitting alone in the sand i'm assuming grieving for her lost husband. Jack comforts her and talks and makes her feel better, and tells her that the fuselage will be burning tonight as a memorial to the dead lost in the plane wreck. Rose agrees to come. Jack offers that she could be able to say something for her husband but she denies him because she believes that the people in the tail of the plane were lost and are thinking that this group is actually dead.

Jack goes to see Kate who just returned from the trip. They talk for a few minutes when Jack sees a person in a suit at the edge of the forrest. I was thinking that Jack was hallucinating, but it was some kind of alarm type thing because he runs over to the man who then disappears and sees Locke pulling a boar out of the forrest. The burning of the Fuselage begins to burn and the memorial takes place.

Locke has a flash back to his trip to Australia where he wants to do a walkabout, but denied by the company because of his condition, and you see that Locke was paralyzed from the legs below! I did not see this happening and was an amazement to me when I realized what that actually meant when he was wiggling his toes!

Predictions for next Episode
Kate did not succeed in finding a signal with the receptor thing because she accidentally dropped it off a tree. That said, I think Kate will try again, maybe this time with help of Jack. Otherwise I have no clue what's going to happen.
