Catch-22 is without a doubt my favorite book of all time.

I had a solid weekend of entertainment. Went to see Mad Max and the Avengers as well as the Decemberists in concert. My reactions in short are as follows:

A.A. Dowd is a bastard man.

The cabin scene was masterfully done. I remember utter disappointment when I realized that Ben was just fucking with Locke again and while I appreciated the supreme acting on display by Emerson I still felt let down. Then cue the creepy voice and all hell breaking loose. Chills.

Unfortunately all I can associate Hutchinson with now is Courtney Stoddard. *Vomits*

Hmmm, even upon the original airing I suspected there was something up with Richard's age. Lampshaded by Ben saying earlier in the episode, "Do you even count birthdays anymore?" or something to that effect.

Fascinating. No, really.

Housework? What do you think they had all the kids for? Daughters have to useful for something besides serving men while Mom and Dad are out promoting their show.

Let's not assume too much.

Yes, but how is the sex?

*Doink*

I know the grading is subjective but I can't think of many LOST episodes more deserving of an A than this one. The confrontation between the Sawyers alone is worth an A, but you also get great scenes between Locke with Ben, Richard, and Rousseau (totally began shipping John and Danielle after this ep by the way. …

I think you missed a rather significant answer (RE: The real Sawyer). I suppose you might not have counted that as a question back in "Confidence Man".

Our precious bodily fluids!

If there's any episode of LOST that deserves an A+ it is "Through the Looking Glass". I'll give you "The Constant" as well.

So these last 4 episodes of the season are all A's, right?

Oh also, there is a karate (tae kwon doe?) trophy in Jin's father's house that is presumably Jin's. It is in the exact same pose as Jin doing his finishing move roundhouse kick on Mikhail. I always appreciated that detail.

Not much to say about either of these episodes, both pretty solid entries that set up the endgame for the season. I remember being quite shocked by how graphic Charlie's arrow to the throat was. Does anyone else remember LOST being broadcast at a later time than normal post-hiatus? I thought that was how they were…

Plus "Cowboys From Hell", the only song on this list that actually looks challenging.

Especially the same riff over and over. The solos are the reason I even played those games.
