Lost Recap 6×03: What Kate Does

February 14th, 2010 § 62

This week on Lost, Claire and Kate go on a road trip, Jack learns how to smile, Sawyer learns how to wallow, and Sayid is CLAIMED.


Previously on Lost…

Jack was all broody/pissed off/crying all the time…

…and Sawyer was all smiley and sarcastic!

***

So when we last left our heroes in the temple, Sayid had just arisen after being dead for a completely unacceptable amount of time, and he’s all like, “Hey guys wha happened?”

And of course he gets this giant Hurley Hug (because that will always cure what ails you) and everyone’s v. excited that their old pal Sayid is alive, and Jack’s like, “How do you feel!?” and Sayid’s like, “A little possessed lightheaded is all!”

And Jack’s like, “What is this my face is doing!?! It’s like I’m frowning but the opposite!!”

But on the other side of the temple, Sawyer seems to still be a little TO’ed that he just had to bury his girlfriend.

Sawyer: He tortures people and shoots kids, how come he gets to live and Juliet didn’t?
Lost Writers: Because she had to go raise a rebellious teen on V!
Sawyer: Screw you guys, I’m going home!
Kate: What’s your deal?
Sawyer: I’m runnin’!
Kate: Isn’t that my line?

***

Back in Alterna-World, Kate has just bogarted Claire’s cab, which comes very close to getting Arzt all over it!

Kate: I’M GOING TO POINT THIS GUN AT A PREGNANT CHICK.
Audience: WOW KATE, WE HATE THE THINGS YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

So the cabbie decides he doesn’t feel like dying today, and him and Kate perform a Chinese Fire Drill, and now Kate’s driving the cab, and she would like Claire to please GTFO.

And that’s when Claire, in the first of many MANY inexplicable moves, asks Kate if she can just get her suitcase out of the trunk! LOLOL I’M SORRY, WHAT!?

Claire: I’m gigantically pregnant and very, very tiny! Excuse me, Lady Waving the Gun in My Face, can I just pop in the back and grab my bag full of baby clothes that I could easily purchase at any store here in LA?
Kate: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Do you think I’m your new BFF or something? That won’t happen for at least another 6 minutes so GET OUT!

***

Everyone drags Sayid outside for a little post-death breather. (He was still trying to work off all that Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea they had ya know, drown him in).

Jack: I don’t know which is crazier, the fact that you’re alive, or the fact that your bullet wound is almost completely closed already.
Sayid: Oh, that would just be my mutant healing factors. Wait until you get a load of my adamantium claws.
Jack: This would explain all the berserker torcha. Should I call you Logan, Weapon-X?
Sayid: Snicky, snicky, snoine.

Lennon: We just need Sayid for a minute.
Jack: You’re not getting him until you tell me who the hell you people are!!
Lennon: I am the walrus.
Dogen: We’d like to show Mr. Jarrah a short informational video on the benefits of Acai juice.

So Jack is demanding some answers about just what in tarnation is going on here, and Dogen and Lennon (seriously, they named that translator guy Lennon) are all like, “We have to torture to Sayid alone for a minute, and then after that we’ll explain the answer to life, the universe, and everything! Wait – did I say torture? I meant talk! Just one sec!”

And there is this really pointless tussle for a hot minute…

…until some Other Other gets shot, and Sawyer’s all like, “TEMPLE TIME IS OVER! SAWYER OUT! …DON’T COME AFTER ME!”

“Wait…isn’t that Jack’s line? What is going on here, are you turning into Jack!?”

“NO. Now if you’ll all excuse me I’m going to go cry in the jungle and beat myself up for the rest of the episode.”

So he runs away and Mac from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is there all of the sudden, and he’s freaking out about Sawyer running away/who is going to be running Paddy’s while he’s on this jungle vacation!

“My name’s Aldo! Like the shoe store, bitches!”

And in the biggest twist since we found out Claire was Jack’s sister [6 months after we all figured it out]…

Kate: I’m going after him! I can track him!
Audience: ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz hasn’t this already happened in EVERY EPISODE EVER?
Kate: I can be very convincing. I’ll get him to stay. By using the vice-like grip of my girly bits.

***

Back in Alterna-World, Kate manages to find a kindly mechanic who apparently has no problem at all harboring a known felon! He takes off her handcuffs, THEN asks her what she’s up to.

Kate: I’m wanted for murder.
Mechanic: Hmmm well you seem like a sweet girl despite the gun you’re pointing at me and that cab you obviously stole. Feel free to go wash up, apparently I won’t be calling the cops or anything.

So Kate takes her sweet ass time going into the back to get changed (wouldn’t she be kind of IN A RUSH!?), but unless she can fit into a Pooh onesie, there’s nothing for her to wear!

This makes her stare into the mirror and cry because a bag full of shit you can buy at Target is apparently worth getting caught by the cops again! She’s just got to find Claire!

***

Then Kate tells Jack that she’ll “take care” of Sawyer (with her vagina) and Jack can “take care” of Sayid (with his vagina), and they have another one of their tearful goodbyes because you know, we haven’t seen enough of those yet.

Ain’t nothing gonna break-a her stride. Nobody’s gonna slow her down. Oh no. She’s got to keep on movin’.

And then Dogen breaks out that table from The Princess Bride and makes the whole “turn your head and cough” method of diagnosis seem like a cake walk.

I mean whose fanfic is this??

Sooo anyway he blows some powder all over Sayid, electrocutes him, and then as the Pièce de résistance, he burns him with a red hot poker!

Between all this being shot, H-bombs going off, traveling through time, drowning in a jacuzzi full of Celestial Seasonings, and torture, Sayid is having like the WORST DAY EVER.

Lennon tells Sayid that the torcha was a test, and he passed (yayyy!!!)! We thought that maybe things were finally looking up, that is until 2 seconds later when Lennon let us know that he was totally lying about that whole passing the test thing (noooo!!!).

***

So in a city of like 4 million people Kate manages to drive right to the corner where Claire just happens to be sitting! She must have used her tracking skills or something.

“Um…I know I just carjacked you at gun point like 15 minutes ago, but I was wondering…have you ever heard of Stockholm Syndrome?”

“Ummmm no…but can we be best friends now?”

***
HM if there was only a way for Lost to impress upon us that Kate likes to run and escape and stuff…

So Aldo tells Kate they’re protecting them all from the Smoke Monster, and the guy Justin saves Kate from walking into a trap, and to thank them she lets a giant bag of rocks fall on top of him!

“God Kate, why are you being such a psycho hose beast!?”

“Because everyone is a bitch in their episode, Jin! You should know, Mr. I’m-A-Lovable-Sidekick-Except-For-When-I’m-A-Hitman!”

***

So they bring back Sayid from the Torcha Chamber, and he’s like, “I think they were torturing me, but they didn’t ask me any questions, and then at the end they asked me for my health insurance card and a $15 co-pay!”

Jack was pissed because Dogen didn’t call him in for a consult, so he marched back into the VIP Lounge.

Jack: Ha ha ha, I am so uncharacteristically amused by all of this!
Dogen: I must have heard wrong about you, Jack. Everyone told me you’d come here and cry a river, but you seem like you’re quite jovial.

Jack: LOL! What’s wrong with Sayid, buddy?
Dogen: He is infected, and it’s all your fault!

Jack: What do you mean “my fault?” *sniffs*
Dogen: Are you crying?
Jack: I’m not crying, I’m just allergic to jerks with goatees.

So within like 3 seconds Dogen manages to guilt Jack into giving Sayid some mystery pill! Because apparently Jack hadn’t learned his lesson about trusting Others the first 400 times they played the Mind Games card!

“Give him this pill! It has poison in it! Wait – did I say poison? I meant medicine! Enjoy!”

***

And Hurley and Miles are trying to get some info out of Sayid, and they’re asking him if he went to heaven and stuff, and Hurley’s like, “Are you a zombie, dude?” and Sayid (like any good zombie) says, “No, I am not a zombie…I’m simply possessed by a Dark Passenger, and he’d like to nosh on some brains!”

So Miles and Hurley go off to the Temple Food Court to find some brain burritos, and Jack comes to Sayid with the pill, and Sayid thanks Jack for saving his life, and Jack’s like, “I didn’t save you, the iced tea jacuzzi did,” and he goes to give Sayid the pill, but we all know that he’s not going to give it to him because if anyone is going to be popping any pills in this scenario, it’s Jack.

***

And then Kate takes a detour from her “Born to Run” Tour to chauffeur Claire to the couple that is going to adopt the baybee!

Claire: Will you come up there with me?
Kate: Are you kidding me?
Audience: Are YOU kidding ME!?

So then Claire and this complete stranger who held her at gun point an hour ago go to meet this couple who are obviously never going to adopt Aaron!

“Look, my husband left me and I can’t do it alone. My life is a little bit complicated.”

“Oh really, your life is complicated? Look lady, I’m a fugitive on the run in an alternate universe with a total stranger that I already know, who is carrying the son that I already raised, and we’re here because we split the space-time continuum in half with an atom bomb which happened 3 years in the future. You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”

And as if to prove Kate’s point, Aaron was like, “Allons-y!”

***

So then Kate, who ditched Jin in the jungle when he had “more important things to do like find his long-lost wife,” follows Sawyer into Dharmaville, where he goes into his old house and gets some box that he hid under the floor boards like 30 years ago.

And Sawyer was very happy to see her, especially after he had just told her to you know, NOT come after him.

Sawyer: What the hell are you doing here??
Kate: Well you told me not to come, so I came ARE YOU NEW HERE OR SOMETHING?

Kate just doesn’t understand that Sawyer may never look at her box the way he looked at the one under the floorboards again.

***

And Claire is in labor now, and she’s like, “LOOK, EITHER MY WIG’S TOO TIGHT, OR THE FACT THAT KATE WOULD RUSH ME TO THE HOSPITAL AND STAND HERE BY MY SIDE IS THE MOST UNREALISTIC THING TO EVER HAPPEN ON THIS SHOW. AND THAT’S SAYING A LOT FOR A SHOW WITH TIME TRAVEL AND SMOKE MONSTERS.”

And Dr. Ethan Goodspeed is there, and he somehow knows all of Claire’s medical history despite the fact that Kate just grabbed him in the hallway, and he’s like, “You think it’s already unrealistic? How about I let you decide if you feel like having the baby today?”

“Ummmm okay, I think I want to procrastinate child birth. Because that is totally feasible.”

So Ethan goes, “Alrighty then, let me just give you some magic pills and your baby will hang out in your uterus until you’re in the mood. Good job, mommy,” and we’re all like, “Wow he manages to be creepy as hell even when he’s acting totally normal.”

And then Kate and Claire held hands like good besties, while Evangeline Lilly wondered why all her episodes totally suck ass.

***

Kate finds Sawyer out on the Dharma Dock having a pity party for himself.

Kate: You asked me why I came back to the island. It was to find Claire.
Audience: That’s funny, we didn’t realize Sawyer’s penis was called Claire.
Kate: And sorry about Juliet. Sucks to be you, dude.

So Sawyer tells Kate about how he thinks it’s his fault that she’s dead, and how he thinks some people are just meant to be alone, and it’s all very angsty.

As it turns out Sawyer was going to ask Juliet to marry him, which would have been a bit more heart wrenching had we seen them together for more than like 2 episodes, and he throws the ring dramatically into the water.

He asks himself WWJD (What Would Jack Do), and the answer is cry and mope some more, so he wanders off the dock in tears.

And Kate starts crying for no apparent reason, and we’re all crying too because everyone else is crying, and because we only have like 13 episodes of this show left and if we have to spend them watching Emo!Sawyer we’re going to have to cut a bitch.

I mean seriously…enough of this tearjerkery!!! ;_;

***

So then Jack and Dogen are shooting the shit, talking about baseball and being magically drawn to the island via supernatural forces, and Dogen figures out that Jack didn’t give Sayid the pill!

And Dogen’s all like, “It is medicine! Why don’t you trust me!?” and Jack’s just like, “I don’t trust myself, how am I supposed to trust you!?” and we all spit out our respective beverages because OMFG, IT TOOK 6 SEASONS, BUT JACK SHEPHARD IS EXPERIENCING A MOMENT OF SELF-DOUBT!?!!!!!!???

Somewhere an angel just got its wings! And srsly WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS SMILING!? Jack smiling, Sawyer crying, I thought the ALTERNATE universe was Bizarro World!!!

So anyway Jack pops the pill because that’s WJWD, and Dogen goes nuts on him trying to get him to spit it out!

Dogen: DIDN’T YOU HEAR ME EARLIER WHEN I HUMOROUSLY SAID “POISON” INSTEAD OF “MEDICINE!??”
Jack: HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR IS COMPLETELY NEW TO ME, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU WERE JOKING?!

***

Cops: Excuse me, Miss Littleton? Are you hear with a Miss Hart? A Miss Melissa Joan Hart?
Claire: Who?
Cops: Miss Melissa Joan Hart, she signed in with you – do you know anything about her?
Claire: Sure, she was the star of several tween comedies in the 90’s including Clarissa Explains it All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Cops: …

Claire covered for Kate because who wouldn’t cover for a total stranger that you’ve been inexplicably hanging out with all day despite the fact that she had a gun to your head this morning? I mean, they held hands and stuff.

After the cops leave without even asking ONE follow-up question, Kate comes out and she thanks Claire for covering for her, and Claire asks her what she’s wanted for.

Kate: Would you believe me if I said I was innocent?
Claire: Would you believe me if I told you this isn’t my real hair?

Kate: Absolutely.
Claire: There you have it.

And then, the cherry on the top of this Ridiculously Implausible Shit sundae!?

“Here! Take my credit card!”

“Are you Australian or retarded???”

“Ummmm….”

***

“I almost just swallowed poison LOL!!! Is this how a sense of humor works???”

Dogen offers Jack some tea from the jacuzzi because apparently that’s what you do right after you almost accidentally poison someone.

Then Dogen spoke to Jack about how Sayid had been “CLAIMED!!!!!!”

Dogen: There is a darkness within your friend Sayid.
Jack: Tell me about it, dude used to be a torturer!
Dogen: No, I mean a newer darkness.
Jack: Tell me about it, he was working for Ben as an assassin!
Dogen: No, a new NEW darkness!
Jack: Yeah! He shot a kid!
Dogen: UGH LISTEN TO ME!!! If the “sickness” inside him reaches his heart, he’ll just be another one of Smokey’s meat puppets! Just like *dramatic music* YOUR SISTER!!!!

And with that, it quickly became cloudy with a 100% chance of some Jearizzles.

***

And then Jin got caught in a trap! Which we all thought must be one of Danielle’s, but there was something we didn’t realize…

And this Justin dude was like, “Don’t kill him, he’s ONE OF THEM!”

And Aldo is like, “HE MAY BE ONE OF THEM! I’M GONNA KILL HIM ANYWAY!”

But we never actually found out what the hell they meant because all of the sudden Jungle!Claire was all, “WILD CARD, BITCHES! YEEEEEHAW!!!!!!

Is Claire too adorable and blond to be “claimed” by this “darkness?”
Will anyone be able to get a comb through that insane hair of hers?
Will next week’s episode actually be interesting?

    LOL, that was fantastic! There are way to many awesome references in this recap so instead of listing them all I say well done! Although your wildcard was also awesome!
    Seriously, next weeks better be more interesting and hopefully include some Richard in chains and possibly some whipped cream! ;)

  • Leah3t says:

    Somewhere an angel just got its wings!

    HAHAHAHAHA. Oh thank you for this. And the princess bride was on last night, but I got confused and thought they were re-running Lost.

  • ... says:

    It’s official. Suliet has turned Sawyer into Jack. All the more reason to loathe it with the burning fury of a thousand supernovas.

  • Jack: This would explain all the berserker torcha. Should I call you Logan, Weapon-X?
    Sayid: Snicky, snicky, snoine

    i am so making sayid-as-wolvie icons now. bonus for the last line making me think of mallrats.

    <3

  • Benry says:

    Great review!

    Seriously Kate is pissing me off now. Now Sawyer rejected her so she is gonna run back to Jack

    Both Jack and Sawyer should just dump her

  • Linusanalucia says:

    “Allons-y!”

    What is the paradox about the show that makes people obsessed with it while simultaneously joyful while making fun of it?

  • Jenn says:

    Ridiculously Implausible Shit sundae

    That perfectly sums up my feelings on this entire episode. JACK SMILING! SAWYER CRYING! DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER!

  • Kimmerz says:

    i love that you fixate on something and run it through the episode– claire’s wig, she COULD cut her hair, time has passed, the bangs would grow out in 3 years

    my favorite still is

    THIS SHOW IS UNREALISTIC

    LOL

    and

    YIKES GUYS, HE LOOKS LIKE A PISSED VULTURE

    and i’m sad for no star wars reference and wasn’t ZOMBIELOST something real in the fanverse?

    and doesn’t everyone know that lost is a fanfic?!?!

  • Ms_Mariposita says:

    Actually, Ack, it *is* possible to delay labor using medication. It’s used especially in situations where the baby is too premature to have a good chance of surviving outside of the womb. The only problem is that it has like a 50/50 chance of working.

    And if I had someone who finally cared for me no matter what I had done in the past (i.e. Juliet) who wasn’t a complete flake (i.e. Kate), I’d be like Emo!Sawyer too. lol.

  • Ack says:

    @MS_Mariposita Haha yes I know there is a medication to stop labor, but the way they presented it this episode was so ridiculous that there’s no way they handle situations such as Claire’s like that. I doubt any doctors are just like, “Hey, feel like having your baby today?” haha I’d imagine they would do what was best for the BAYBEE! :)

    @Kimmerz haha I’ll have to put 2 Star Wars references in next week.

  • Jess says:

    “Are you Australian or retarded???” LOL!! Love it!

    And love the Office reference – Kate, we hate the things you choose to be!

  • LostTeaParty says:

    A Teariffic recap to a weak cuppa of an episode!

  • Kimmerz says:

    someone in the olylmpics has really “grown in the past years as a skater” snark snark

  • John says:

    Claire cut the brakes

    WILD CARD BITCHES

You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”
    Oh my god dude I almost pissed my pants!

  • Gwen says:

    “And then Dogen breaks out that table from The Princess Bride”

    Dude, at that point in the ep, I turned to the husband and said “to the pain?” (wrong part of the movie, but whatever), then I expected Sayid to be all whimpery when they were done with him. I think he said “to blaithe.”

  • kid entropia says:

    xD that whole darkness thing was insanely brilliant! my thoughts exactly: how much darker can sayid get? what´s he gonna do? shoot kittens and puppies with radioactive bullets? xD. btw, do you know guys anything about the tweet damon supposedly posted in response to the relatively spread dislike of the episode? was it really him? or was that the fake damon tweeting?

  • Nannorama says:

    I have a theory that all of Sayid`s darkness is going to go full circle and he`s going to come right around to Delightful. Next episode we`re going to see him prancing around and donating his tank tops to random charities.

    I think your recap made me hate this episode slightly yes. An amazing feat indeed!

  • Keeks says:

    I am made simultaneously overjoyed and sad with these recaps… so, so sad to come to the end of them each time. I look forward to them so much.

    I feel the same way about many of these developments (machinist dude helps out with no questioning, Claire happily jumps back into cab, Kate is stricken with guilt after seeing 3-packs of onesies?)…. But I’m still going with it. I agree though…. The smoke monster is easier to swallow than some of this stuff. Step it up, Lost!

    Still, Kate remains our constant. Frustratingly and predicably indecisive, running, always running, sweaty, wanting to keep doors to both men open at all times. Amiright?

    Just a few random comments:
    – Dude, Sawyer kinda *deserves* a pity party.
    – More wigs!
    – We all know there are drugs to help keep the baybee inside, but it’s already due any minute! There is no need to delay!
    – Jearizzles!!!

  • Erica says:

    Thank you for explaining to me why I disliked that episode so much. If we get anymore of those crappers I’m…well, I don’t know what I’m going to do, but it’s going to be drastic.

  • […] the original post: Lost Recap 6×03: What Kate Does | The Ack Attack! Posted: February 15th, 2010 Categories: Uncategorized Tags: a-road-trip, claire, learns-how, lost […]

  • snoop says:

    OMFG, this is so fucking hilarious. I don’t even know where to start with my comment.

    Sawyer: He tortures people and shoots kids, how come he gets to live and Juliet didn’t?
    Lost Writers: Because she had to go raise a rebellious teen on V!
    Sawyer: Screw you guys, I’m going home!
    Kate: What’s your deal?
    Sawyer: I’m runnin’!
    Kate: Isn’t that my line?

    South Park reference, and I thought that too, why did Sawyer steal Kate’s line in this scene?

    Jack: I don’t know which is crazier, the fact that you’re alive, or the fact that your bullet wound is almost completely closed already.
    Sayid: Oh, that would just be my mutant healing factors. Wait until you get a load of my adamantium claws.
    Jack: This would explain all the berserker torcha. Should I call you Logan, Weapon-X?
    Sayid: Snicky, snicky, snoine.

    Haha, Sayid is not wolverine, he just has a PhD from Jack Bauer Institute.

    Kate: I can be very convincing. I’ll get him to stay. By using the vice-like grip of my girly bits.

    Lol, very true, I felt that was the only option she would have to convince Sawyer to return to the temple.
    Also, vice-like grip? Doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me…

    Then Kate tells Jack that she’ll “take care” of Sawyer (with her vagina) and Jack can “take care” of Sayid (with his vagina)

    That is the best thing I’ve read so far.

    Dogen: I must have heard wrong about you, Jack. Everyone told me you’d come here and cry a river, but you seem like you’re quite jovial.

    It even says so in Jacob’s letter..

    “Oh really, your life is complicated? Look lady, I’m a fugitive on the run in an alternate universe with a total stranger that I already know, who is carrying the son that I already raised, and we’re here because we split the space-time continuum in half with an atom bomb which happened 3 years in the future. You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”

    Amen to that, if only Lost was on HBO, this bit of dialogue is what they would have used.

    Kate just doesn’t understand that Sawyer may never look at her box the way he looked at the one under the floorboards again.

    Hence the reason for the vice-like grip perhaps?

    Audience: That’s funny, we didn’t realize Sawyer’s penis was called Claire.

    Lol, lots of references to Sawyer’s/Jack’s/Kate’s privates.

    He asks himself WWJD (What Would Jack Do)

    Fight Club reference?

    Dogen: There is a darkness within your friend Sayid.
    Jack: Tell me about it, dude used to be a torturer!
    Dogen: No, I mean a newer darkness.
    Jack: Tell me about it, he was working for Ben as an assassin!
    Dogen: No, a new NEW darkness!
    Jack: Yeah! He shot a kid!
    Dogen: UGH LISTEN TO ME!!!

    I’m still laughing at that little back-and-forth exchange.

    All-in-all, this is one of your finest work, particularly when the episode itself wasn’t that great to begin with. Thanks, dude :)

  • ewu says:

    “Jack: Ha ha ha, I am so uncharacteristically amused by all of this!
    Dogen: I must have heard wrong about you, Jack. Everyone told me you’d come here and cry a river, but you seem like you’re quite jovial”

    OMG, your recaps are hilarious. I love how you juxtaposed Jack with Sawyer and then you indicated that they’re swapping places now – Jack for the cheers, Sawyer for the jeers!

    and I agree, I’m willing to accept time travel, smoke monsters and split space-time continuum on this show, but lousy character motivation is a no-no in my book.

    great job, with the recaps and benry knows best – you’re a genius!

  • liz156 says:

    And Kate starts crying for no apparent reason, and we’re all crying too because everyone else is crying, and because we only have like 13 episodes of this show left and if we have to spend them watching Emo!Sawyer we’re going to have to cut a bitch.

    HAHAHAHAHHAAA! ha loved this! Tho I wondered, was it a DHARMA engagement ring?

  • Lea says:

    “Oh really, your life is complicated?

You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”

    THIS. LOL.

  • Mellow says:

    WILDCARD BITCHES!!! hahaha

    hilarious recap ack! :D great work
    my favourite bits:
    “Claire: Would you believe me if I told you this isn’t my real hair?”

    “Because everyone is a bitch in their episode, Jin! You should know, Mr. I’m-A-Lovable-Sidekick-Except-For-When-I’m-A-Hitman!”

    “Oh really, your life is complicated? Look lady, I’m a fugitive on the run in an alternate universe with a total stranger that I already know, who is carrying the son that I already raised, and we’re here because we split the space-time continuum in half with an atom bomb which happened 3 years in the future. You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”

  • LithiumRox says:

    The Doctor Who reference was my favorite. Aaron’s totally a Time Lord.
    For a split second before he took off his mask, I totally thought the mechanic was gonna turn out to be Mr. Friendly. That would’ve been a far more awesome scene if you ask me. :P
    Ethan “Goodspeed” managing to be insanely creepy even though he wasn’t actually *doing* anything creepy was the best part of the episode, except for seeing Jungle!Claire at the end.

    The people I was watching with seemed to think that even more unrealistic than the whole “Feel like having a kid today, or do you wanna wait a bit?” thing, was the fact that Claire actually chose to WAIT. We were like “WHAT? You’re HUGE! You wanna carry that thing around inside you for a whole more MONTH??”

  • Rob K says:

    Great recap for a bad episode. Good job on the mallrats wolverine quote! BONNNNGGGGG

  • tarkin says:

    “Kate: You asked me why I came back to the island. It was to find Claire.
    Audience: That’s funny, we didn’t realize Sawyer’s penis was called Claire.”

    HA! This was one of your best yet…I was almost crying. The Kate/Claire stuff was hilarious!

  • Greg says:

    HAHAHAHA

    You turned a crabby episode into something better! Well done Ack.

    WildCard Bitches!!

    I think i might have to start using that phrase now!

  • Greg says:

    I meant Crappy**

    I blame the fact it is Monday Morning and I haven’t had coffee yet!!

  • Henry Gale says:

    Brilliant! Still laughing my butt off about Kate’s clampy vagina.

  • Kristina says:

    Anyone else think Rousseau!Claire at the end of the ep looks a LOT like young Eloise?

  • Elynne says:

    So many good lines ~~~ this one at the beginning cracked me up: “And Jack’s like, “What is this my face is doing!?! It’s like I’m frowning but the opposite!!”

    About the ring: I’m willing to bet that it was an Eloise Hawking special ~~~ made for throwing into water!

  • Diana says:

    Rachel….you are the definitive Poster Child for a Rutgers education. The Board of Trustees owes you BIG TIME, girl!!

  • snoop says:

    Btw, I forgot to ask you, did you see 24 last monday? Jack ripped a knife from his own belly and threw it at some bad dude, where it landed in his throat. Surely, even Sayid can’t do that..

  • Daphne1D says:

    “And Jack’s like, “What is this my face is doing!?! It’s like I’m frowning but the opposite!!” ”

    Love it! Made me laugh out loud.

    I also made a comment about the Princess Bride table while watching it!

    And yeah, Lost has been so amazing that I can forgive them when they have weird crappy episodes like this one, but man you summed it up with the inexplicable Claire/Kate stuff. I can suspend my disbelief on this show, but only so far ;)

  • san says:

    if i am ever a fugitive i hope it happens in LA,
    i’ll just stand in the room next door, cops will never think to look there.

  • Wintergirl says:

    Great job. I enjoyed this more than the actual episode. Favorite parts…”we didn’t realize Sawyer’s penis was called Claire.”; “Cloudy with a 100% chance of jeerizles.”

    Also, “Are you new here?” Is that a Roseanne reference?

  • Christa (wildambition) says:

    And then, the cherry on the top of this Ridiculously Implausible Shit sundae!?

    “Here! Take my credit card!”

    “Are you Australian or retarded???”

    OMG. I just laughed for 5 minutes at this. Great recap as always. The Claire/Kate stuff was sooo ridiculous I can’t believe the writers actually thought this would make a good episode. I mean, it was good for the comedy factor but…wow…nobody would be that stupid. Good lord! And I love the stuff about the wig. Gah, she’s had fake wig for many seasons now and it’s BAD.

  • Sheets says:

    Loved the recap. As realistic as it was, I loved this episode. Wild Card Jungle!Claire for the WIN!

  • Sheets says:

    I meant unrealistic

  • Kate says:

    I have to congratulate you on being able to write such a great recap of such a massively mediocre episode. I am actually a little pissed at Lost for fucking with your raw recap material.

    Even the crap episodes are worth watching as long as there’s an Ack recap!

    “Ummmm okay, I think I want to procrastinate child birth. Because that is totally feasible.”

    Actually this sort of happened to my sister in law. She went into labor 4 weeks early and the doctors were trying to decide if they should try to stop the labor or let it go ahead. Before they could decide her water broke so they had to let her give birth. A couple of cramps later (I hated her for that) she gave birth to a five pound boy (they had to drag my overdue 8 pounder kicking and screaming from my womb).

    Lest we forget Island Aaron was as big as a 6 month old at 4 weeks so maybe Doc Ethan thought he was developed enough to risk early birth. Usually these things are put in terms of what’s best for the baby not easiest for the mother. Then we are talking about an LA hospital. For all we know Doc Ethan might have been gynecologist to the stars (!) and let all his rich patients and starlets determine their kid’s birth dates. Why carry that kid for 40 weeks when 36 will do just as well? You can fatten em up just as well outside as in.

    I almost died on the “I am the walrus” line as a Beatles fanatic. AMAZING STUFF! :D

    I have nothing witty or interesting to contribute, just posting to show my undying support.

  • aynisha says:

    “Oh really, your life is complicated? Look lady, I’m a fugitive on the run in an alternate universe with a total stranger that I already know, who is carrying the son that I already raised, and we’re here because we split the space-time continuum in half with an atom bomb which happened 3 years in the future. You think your life is complicated? Go fuck yourself!”

    Legit LOLing, right there. Ack, you mad genius, I love you.

  • Api says:

    This episode was so dumb!
    I mean, srsly, Claire gives her CREDIT CARD to a woman who held her at gunpoint, left her in the middle of nowhere, yelled to her AND stole her stuff???????
    Sounds like sth anyone would do. Normal behavior.

    And Kate told that guy in the garage or whatever that was immediately that she was a murderer and he didn’t mind helping a fugitive. DAH.

  • Lis says:

    Am I taking crazy pills, or was Sayid´s torcha scene basically exactly like the one he had with Danielle???
