EW article about Lost's end date - interview with Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof.

Is it true that the season finale for this season has been given the codename "The Rattlesnake?"
LINDELOF: "The rattlesnake in the mailbox" is the full name.
CUSE: It's one of those highly scary and vulnerable things: What if you drove home and stuck your hand in the mailbox and there was a rattlesnake in there?
LINDELOF: Here's how this came about. One day, Carlton was looking at his mailbox and thinking this: "Wow! No one would expect this — a rattlesnake in their mailbox!" He shared this in the writers' room one day, and every writer turned to him and said, "What kind of sick thought is that?! Of course no one would think of a rattlesnake being in their mailbox, because only an extremely sick, deranged individual would put one in there!" And it was that which made us think, "Actually, a rattlesnake in the mailbox is the perfect name for what we're doing in our finale." Because only an extremely deranged individual would think of doing what we're doing.
CUSE: Well said.

So while I'm on the subject of Lost, "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" aired here last week in Australia and can I just say? Omifuckingod. BEST EPISODE SINCE SEASON ONE LIEK WHOA. I have always been a huge fan of "The Moth" and "Confidence Man" as all round episodes but I gotta say, "Tricia" is totally up there with them now. I could just watch this episode over and over and over again, seriously. The combination of characters and situations and one liners just made this episode SO awesome.

Ah screw it. It's totally deserving of a review!

Mini Hurley! Zomg he's so ickle and cute! Is it bad that I want to play with his ringlets? Srsly.

I was totally in tears the whole time that Hurley was talking to Libby. I <3 you Jorge Garcia!

-*licks Dom*
-Snarky!Angsty!Charlie is the best. Awwww I want to give him a hug! Vincent's back on the show! Skeletal arm FTW!
-Hurley's theme music always pwns - especially when he's running around in the jungle and...veedub! AWESOME!

LOOOOOOOOOST.

-Tricia Tanaka: I don't know how to ad-lib or improvise or anything and...wow this is a really awkward interview. You suck Hurley.
Hurley: I am cursed. Cuuuuuuuuursed.
-Mr Clucks go boom! I really must look up the difference between meteors and asteroids. One of them is stationary in space and the other is the kind that is a falling star right? Or something.

-Nikki + Paulo: *trash the kitchen*
-Jin is rather non-plussed. Poor guy.
-Hurley *speaks Jinglish*: CAR.
Everyone else: ...huh?
-I'll admit it. Paulo made me laugh when he said "Why do we need to start a car?" and again when he grabbed Nikki by the back of her shorts and pulled her away with him. Bwah.
-Jin is totally just like "wtf?" at Hurley's crazy laughing.

Then we have a Kate/Sawyer scene which is kind of pointless. Observe...
Saywer: Are we there yet?
Kate: No.
Saywer: Are we there yet?
Kate: No.
Saywer: Are we there y-?
Kate: NO WE ARE NOT THERE YET NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE I SMACK YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD YOU FREKKING ASSHAT!
Sawyer: ...
Sawyer: *steps on dart*
Kate: Oh for... anticipation, Jack, stuff, blah blah blah...

*fast forward ads*

Carmen rocks my proverbial socks. BITCHSLAP! Lots of people get slapped in this episode don't they? *starts singing the Fisch slapping dance from Spamalot for no apparent reason*
Hurley's Dad: Hi! I'm here to angst your life up again! Gee you sure got fat while I was gone!
Hurley: *twitches*
Hurley: *has nervous breakdown*

-Charades FTW!
Hurley: I UNDERSTAND YOU!
Jin: o.O
-Poor Roger. I hope they buried him at some point instead of just leaving his body out to be eaten by the polar bears.

Charlie: So...Desmond. When am I going to die?
Desmond: I was totally drunk the other night and therefore have no idea what you're talking about.
Charlie: Bullshit.
Desmond: Okay my bad - you're right, you are gonna die but I don't know when.
Charlie: Why not?
Desmond: Because...I don't?
Charlie: You suck.
Sawyer: You suck more! Where the hells my porn? And my grog?
Charlie: ...how did you know it was me?
Sawyer: ...be-cause?
Desmond: Riiiiight...well to be fair, all three of us drank your grog.
Sawyer: you, the hobbit and who?
Charlie: *giggles and then pretends not to as Desmond death glares him*

-Crafty = good at crafts? Niiiiice Hurley.
-*HURLEYGLOMP!*
Sawyer: *is squished*
Hurley: I am full of optimism! Yay yay yay! Happy dancing whoooooo...
Sawyer: ...you must be brain damaged or something because seriously? Everything sucks atm.
Hurley: Neah. We'll get the car running and then get drunk on twenty year old beer and all shall be good?
Sawyer: *perks up* we have beer?
Me: Sawyer + beer? Well. This is going to end well...

*Insert pointless Kate/Sayid/Locke scene here.*

*fast forward ads*

-GOLDEN JESUS PWNS YOU.
Carmen: I don't want golden!Jesus to hear me talking about sex so hold on while I block his ears...
Hurley: *has a nervous breakdown*

Sawyer: Recycling and maps and beer and...HOLY SHIT WHY IS THERE A DISEMBODIED HEAD IN THE BACKSEAT?
Hurley: Oh yeah that's just Roger.
Sawyer: o.O
Hurley: I'm gonna drive the car now
Sawyer: *hightails out of the back with an armful of beer*
Car: *doesn't start*
Hurley: *woe*

Later...

Sawyer: Well...I say we get drunk. Cause I'm all out of ideas.
Hurley: Dude, that beer's been sitting there since before Rocky III, maybe even II. It's probably poison by now.
Sawyer: Skeletor seems to like it! Bottoms up!
Hurley: Skeletor has a name dude. It's Roger Workman.
Sawyer: It's Work Man, you idiot. That's his job.
Me: XD!

*ads*

Hurley's Dad: Wake up sunshine.
Hurley: Only if you and mum promise to stop having crazy naked sex all night because it is KEEPING ME AWAKE AND ALSO SCARRING ME FOR LIFE
Hurley's Dad: Can I help it if your mother is a sex machine?
Hurley: *has a mental breakdown*

Somebody indlge me in the reason that all psychic/mystic people suck on this show? Except for Desmond of course.

JINGLISH PWNS.

Hurley: You are moping Charlie. Thus I slap you.
Me: Two slaps in one episode! Awesome! Aww, poor Dom he's gotten slapped twice now on this show.

RED NECK MAN IS THE BEST INSULT EVER.

*ads*

Sawyer: So let me get this straight. You steer and we push you nosefirst down a hill and hope you don't die?
Hurley: Yup.
Sawyer: Sounds like fun. Let's do it!
Charlie: I've got shotgun!
Jin: *eyeroll* [Why do I hang out with such idiots? You guys are totally gonna die.]
Hurley: Wait for it...waiiiiiit for it...
Charlie: HURLEY WE ARE GOING TO DIE IF YOU DO NOT GET THIS THING STARTED YOU LUNATIC FUCKING CRAZY MAN!
Car: *starts*
The assembled: YES! OMFG YES! HU-FUCKING-ZZAH WE WIN!
Hurley: I totally own. Therefore - I AM GOING TO DO WHEELIES IN THE GRASS! BWAHAHAHA!

Montage scenes are the best!
Jin/Sun = Awww!
Charlie/Claire = Awww!
Sawyer = "Ah screw your lovey dovey crap! I have beer!" *glowers*

And we end on Some random scene with Kate/Sayid/Locke/Danielle that nobody really cares about.

I think we all enjoyed that scene! He really did need to be slapped though and the expresson on Dom's face was just far too priceless for words - I had the worst giggles for like, ten minutes afterwards

Charlie: So...Desmond. When am I going to die?
Desmond: I was totally drunk the other night and therefore have no idea what you're talking about.
Charlie: Bullshit.
Desmond: Okay my bad - you're right, you are gonna die but I don't know when.
Charlie: Why not?
Desmond: Because...I don't?
Charlie: You suck.


BWAH!!!!!

That was the show in a nutshell. You got the highlights and skipped the crap I didn't care about either. Perfect. One of my favourite eps all year. All it needed was an actual Charlie/Claire scene with dialogue where she asks him why he's moping and he pretends he's not. It could have gone right in place of one of those useless Kate scenes. Oh, well, TPTB will never see eye to eye with us.

I agree on the lack of C/C-ness. Funny thing that you should mention missing scene fics for Tricia Tanaka though because I started writing one the other day!

I think the episode was refreshing between all the madness. And I love the original characters, which made this episode really lovely.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but can I add you as my friend?

I totally agree - this ep went right back to Lost as we all knew and loved it from the first season. It made me smile again!

But of course you can add me! I'd be thrilled =)

That was definitly the best episode ever. The "Crafty?" "It means...you're good at...crafts." line was my favorite. God, I love Hurley. "Aw, man, I suck at charades."

Hurley makes me laugh so much - and Jorge just plays him so awesomely. I loff him and his sense of humour to death.

AHAHAHA! Love your recap! Reminded me of all the best bits! It was such a good episode!

Ooo....now I'm looking forward to the finale...*bites nails*

I need to rewatch it again. And again. Until I've watched it more than fifty times. And then I'll watch it again. And maybe THEN it'll make me stop laughing but until then... XD

I KNOW. Omg I cannot wait for this season to end! Well...you know what I mean. It's just far too painful to NOT KNOW what's going to happen next to them all *chews nails with you*
