Discuss Season 5 Episode 2 "The Lie" here!

Discuss Season 5's second episode, "The Lie", here! Very Happy

_________________

Again another great episode and I loved how the lie was dealt with throughout the episode.
Seeing Hurley's resentment of Sayid after leaving the island and then seeing him helping to save Sayid's life in the future/present (whatever you wanna call it! Lol! Razz

) was great. These two are a great pairing.
I loved the scene were Hurley confessed the truth to his mother, truly poignant (although the way Hurley described what had happened did make some things sound farfetched! Razz

). It's always great to see Hurley's parents in LOST and Cheech Martin was as great as always! Very Happy

It was also great to see Michelle Rodriguez's guest appearance as Ana-Lucia! It was great and I loved the "Libby says hi" addition.

It's also interesting to see Ben and Mrs Hawkins working together! I wonder how/if Ben will gather the Ocean 6 together in 70 hours?!

I'm also interested in learning the identity of the person who filed for Aaron's maternity test. Also, after the meeting Kate had with Sun I just have a gut-instinct not to trust Sun. Though it was nice to see her tell Kate she doesn't blame her for Jin's death.
I also hope Charlotte's going to be ok after her headaches and nosebleed. Is she gonna have to find her constant perhaps? Also, who the heck was firing the arrows at the castaways?!

And what a great ending!!! Great seeing Locke saving Sawyer and Juliet from those people (army men perhaps? Or maybe Rousseau's people???). I wonder how that scene will continue?

On the whole, a strong episode that had me hooked and I can't wait until next week!!!
I'll be sharing more thoughts on the first two episodes in the mini podcasts!!!

Very Happy

I enjoyed this episode a great deal, though possibly not as much as the premiere. It was great seeing Ana Lucia back, I liked that scene a lot, and the "Oh, yeah, Libby says hi" line was brilliant.

Is it just me, or does Ben come across as slightly more "human" this season? Obviously he's still somewhat sneaky, judging by whatever he pulled out of the air vent and hid in his bag while Jack was in the bathroom, but he seems slightly less omniscient. I guess it's probably since he's been forced away from the comfort of the island and he's not used to fending for himself in the "real world", as was evident in the way he sort of panicked when Ms Hawking gave him a deadline. Also, the way he flushed Jack's pills to sober him up, defended Jack when Jill the mysterious butcher woman had a go at him, and his almost sympathetic tone when he confronted Hurley all send me down this train of thought.

Anything involving the Reyes family usually makes for good viewing, from David and Hurley carrying Sayid about the place to Hurley throwing his food at the wall when Ben scared him to Carmen's line "Why is there a dead Pakistani man on my couch?"

As for the people who attacked the Losties, could we just have met some of the Hostiles?

God how i have missed this show! nothing else comes even remotely close!

i think that Ben sent the people to get the blood test from Kate in hopes to get her to flee to the island...

I think that Mrs. Hawkins in the mother of Daniel Faraday...the subtle hint about maiden names from Charlotte, not telling Desmond her name in time...as soon as the scene began i thought that it was his mom & then they showed her and i freaked out, lol..

ill be honest, i couldnt care less about Ana reappearing. sorry, but i never liked her...

Sawyers line that everyone he cared about "blew up on the freighter" was sooo sad. Freckles and Hurley

Frogurt!!

"Ghosh of Christmas future" hah, that whole scene was brilliant. as one Faradays with Desmond

Hurley throwing his hot pocket just made me laugh

i also loved the scene where Ben flushed Jack's pills. "I was just gonna do that myself" "I thought so"

Gosh I forgot about the hostiles!!! A very good theory there Mr Sawbucks!!!

And oh my gosh, how could I forget to mention the legend that is Neil Frogurt!!! I can't believe he's dead!

As for Ben, you're right Sawbucks he does seem a lot more human! I picked up on that in the scene where he was trying to convince Hurley to return to the island.
Speaking of that scene, I also thought Hurley throwing his hot pocket in terror was hillarious!

However what i found funny the most was Mr. Reyes driving past the police officers and smilimg, waving and cheekily saying "Hello officers"!!! Cheech is a great acor!
Carmen's "Why is there a dead pakistani on my couch" was also hillarious though!!!

Oh and I just cant stress how much I was glad to see Ana Lucia back! Michelle Rodriguez was looking mighty fine! Very Happy

Truer words were never spoken, Tris. I think once Lost is over, they should make a spin-off about the Reyes family. Mind you, Damon & Calrton will have their hands full with the other spin-off projects they've announced they will be doing: "Rose and Bernard's Love Island," "Kate's Horse and Sayid's Cat" and the newly announced "All About Ethan."

Hahaha don't forget the highly-anticipated Zombie Season!!! Very Happy

But yeah a Reyes spinoff would actually be great!

I think we should start a petition! I might see if I can find a way to contact Eddy Kitsis or Adam Horowitz and make the suggestion to them as something for them to work on after Lost, since they are the gods of all things Hurley-related. (Though the chances are they're already working on a full "Exposé" series. Laughing

)

Was that aimed at the potential "Exposé" series, Tris? Laughing

Haha! Good old Expose! I'd probably watch it to be honest! Razz

Anyway, I think a petition to get a Reyes series is a great idea Mr Sawbucks! Very Happy

Though in all seriousness, an Exposé series would definitely be worth watching if Billy Dee Williams starred in it! Very Happy
