Tricia Tanaka Is Dead remains one of my top five all-time Lost episodes. It is just the perfect Hurley episode, in every way. I will defend that episode to the death.

SKMDC—my fellow alum!

That… actually could be right.

Yeah. Even after getting laid, Bullock looked likely to kill the next person to look at him the wrong way. He was so wound up, he was even an uptight dick to his best friends.

Pretty much just piping up to say, "I agree." The fight in Casey's ex's house was phenomenal.

Jack's father is Christian, not David.

Ignore my question mark typo. I missed my coffee enema today.

Hey, I got great tickets for the show?

Dude, I totally fucking called that last year.

Or the two of them MADE a candidate together. With sex.

Kate?

What the hell kind of pilot do you think I am?

Some terrific funny moments from Miles;
the welcome fleshing-out of Ilana's character;
the return to the beach;
the unsettling nature of a scared/pissed/lost Richard;
the continued redemption of Jack;
the blossoming redemption of Ben;
the deepening mystery of just when the Island sank, and when Roger and Ben left it;

Johnny Ruin: Now, that description of it sounds creepy as fuck.

I should say that while I called this episode mediocre, I meant mediocre in the context of Lost episodes. I rated it a B+.

Indeed. It never hit the heights of "The Constant" or "Through the Looking Glass", but there wasn't a single wasted hour in Season Five. Tonight makes two episodes so far this season that are worse than every episode last year.
