LOST: Even The Best Daddies Have Cowboy Issues

By

LOST brings us a traditional Jack-centric episode (where off-Island it's as boring as watching paint dry, and on-Island it's pretty well entertaining) but with the added bonus that the Island stuff wasn't exactly focused on Jack: our favorite doctor and reluctant leader was being guided by the ever-fun Hugo! BTW: I wasn't the only one who noticed this.

DISCOVERIES
  1. Um, the Lighthouse...which is totally awesome.
  2. Claire is buddy-buddy with the Locke-less Monster.
  3. Kate actually plans on finding Claire; it's wasn't a ruse or moment of emotional irrationality.
  4. Despite being dead, Jacob is still communicating with Hugo.
  5. Claire knows how to use an axe.
OBSERVATIONS
  1. Last episode, Locke-less Monster took Sawyer to his supposed home away from home: a dark cave hidden in the side of a cliff on the Island. This episode, Jacob guided Hugo and Jack to his HAFH: a lighthouse.
  2. The depth of the X-world gets deeper: Jack has a son, Dogen never went to the island, and Dogen has a son as well.
  3. In White Rabbit, Jack made a discovery on the Island that was connected to him and reacted with anger, which he told Hugo about. This foreshadows his actions in this episode, where he discoveries that the Lighthouse was set up, in part, to watch his boyhood home.
  4. This episodes marks one of the few times Kate is doing her own thing and neither chases nor teams up with Jack or Sawyer.
  5. Sayid's lines are more expository than usual. Yeesh.

QUESTIONS
  1. How did Claire learn to fight, trap, torture and use guns?
  2. Why isn't Claire at the cabin, or the beach?
  3. How did the Others capture Claire? How the hell did she escape?
  4. How did Jin know that it was Kate, specifically, who took Aaron? He came with Sun and Aaron on the raft, and wasn't on the helicopter to see Kate take Aaron.
  5. Had Jack not gone batshit crazy, what was the rest of Hugo's mission?

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
