So, Hurley's getting his own episode tonight. I don't think I have ever seen a Hurley episode I did not like, so I'm excited. Heaven or hell, let's rock!
-- I love Hugo! Everybody loves Hugo!
-- lol Why is Pierre Chang narrating Hurley's life?
-- Hurley is the greatest person in history.
-- I would watch this biography btw.
-- OH THANK GOD THEY'RE HONORING HURLEY INSTEAD OF HIM BEING DEAD
-- My brother still says the guy who plays Dr. Chang looks like an Asian Tim Curry, and frankly I'm with him.
-- That trophy kicks ass.
-- HERE COMES LIBBY TO DATE HURLEY =D
-- "YOU'RE NOT LIBBY :( :( :("
-- Hi, Michael!
-- Oh snap. What does Michael know that everyone else doesn't?
-- Death has grayed Michael's beard a bit ... or maybe that's just sweat. Why is a ghost sweating?
-- lol Spanish Johnnys. Straight from Eden of the East.
-- How out of the ordinary would it be to know Hurley's name? He's pretty famous, right?
-- Haha, poor Libby is considered crazy in this timeline because she still has the touch of the other world. That kind of sucks.
-- Hottest mental patient ever, amirite?
-- KABOOM
-- ... HOLY SHIT I WAS JUST JOKING WHEN I WROTE THAT WTF
-- IS SHE DEAD HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT
-- WAITING FOR YOU TO GET YOUR DUMB ASS TO DIE, KATE
-- Sayid's not on the same wavelength as Sawyer, I guess.
-- ... Wow. It's shocking, but I'm not sure how I feel about Ilana's death. Seems like a huge waste considering how many unanswered questions there are with her.
-- LOL "Give me a bucket. Family stuff."
-- Desmond looking sharp, and with silly hair.
-- lol That Outback Hurley on the window is hilarious.
-- Desmond gives good advice.
-- Does Evil Locke normally let his captives run free?
-- Evil Locke looks puzzled.
-- "... Yes. Yes, I am, John Locke."
-- Desmond needs to ask Locke the question.
-- More questions about Jacob's plan arise, and of course Ben is the one who is fielding them.
-- lol Hurley wtf are you doing? xD
-- Not everyone is happy about this.
-- LOL My brother said Hurley's line just before Hurley said it.
-- "No, sometimes they're just really nice."
-- "Well, dead people do get me a lot of money ..."
-- "$100K would buy a lot of Connect Four sets ..."
-- "We worked on this TV show together this one time ..."
-- So, was Libby in here before she saw these memories, or afterward?
-- Go, Hurley!
-- That kid looks like Kurt from Glee.
-- Jacob likes to chill at random times.
-- Oh snap. Hurley is badassing Richard Alpert.
-- Eesh. This doesn't bode well for Lapidus since the groups separated into the people Evil Locke wants, and those he doesn't want. Who's to say he won't just randomly kill Lapidus? Jerk.
-- Lapidus is always honest. :p
-- "My bad hair is going CRAZY!"
-- Oh snap. An answer to the whispering?
-- ... So is the whispering all the dead people?
-- Yes. Yes, it is.
-- Picnic on the beach, w00t!
-- "Only partially insane."
-- woooooooooooooooo, Hurley!
-- "Another good deed for Desmond."
-- "You're not gonna push me down the well, are you, brutha?"
-- Evil Locke, if you attempt to harm Desmond, you will never be forgiven.
-- I refuse to believe any harm is coming to Desmond. He wouldn't go out like that. No evidence, no belief.
-- Oh man. wHY DOES THE EPISODE HAVE TO BE ALMOST OVER NOW
-- AGH DAMN IT JIN ISN'T HERE ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-- LOL Ben thinks Desmond is a pedophile!!
-- "I'm on a mission from God, brutha."
-- LOL WTF DESMOND LOL
-- "That's what you get for shoving me down a well, brutha."
-- LOL WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS PROMO
So, wow, that was a pretty WHAT THE HELL episode, in some good ways, and in some bad ways. As I wrote earlier, I'm not sure where I stand on Ilana dying yet. There are tons of unanswered questions surrounding her, but as has been shown MANY times on Lost, it's not as if being dead hampers too many characters. It just cuts down on their screen time. This could be just another in a long line of people who have come to harm as a result of Jacob's plan; however, who is to say that Ilana might not be just as much help dead as alive? Ghosts can be pretty helpful. They can also be total douches.
The whole thing with Locke is fucking bonkers. It makes sense that other!Desmond would not exactly view Locke in a positive light, especially if -- as has been hinted -- he has a connection with "real" Desmond. I mean, Evil Locke just threw the man down a well. So maybe he figures that if he changes this reality, then something might shift in the other reality? Who knows. Regardless, it was fucking crazy when Desmond ran Locke over. Good lord.
EDIT: My sister suggested to me that Desmond is sending Locke to the hospital so that he can meet Jack, who would of course end up being his doctor. I was about to call shenanigans on this theory because Locke and Jack have already met, and it's not as if anything happened then, but Hurley didn't remember everything immediately after meeting Libby, so it takes some time, clearly. Also, Jack did offer to have a look at Locke's back -- perhaps Jack will be able to work a miracle in this world.
Like 99 percent of Lost fans, I'm sure, I totally d'awwwwwwwed at every Libby x Hurley moment. They're just too adorable together. They deserve a happy ending, even if it is in some alternate reality. Make it happen, Lost writers. Make it happen.
