Things You Need to Know About Lost, Part 1

It's Tuesday...or prep day before the "Lost" day of the week. With all the shennanigans that goes on amidst the jungles of that crazy island(s), here are some things to keep in mind:

1) Locke didn't blow up the sub. He moved it. That's why he was soaking wet.

2) Nikki and Paulo are dead. They're not coming back. The producers know how much the viewing audience hated their presence. So you never have to see them again.

3) Juliet is a mole. Don't for a second think she's sincere. She may be worse than Ben.

4) The magical box that Ben told Locke about where Locke then saw his father is Room 101. If you don't know what that means, brush up on your Orwell. There's a lot of Orwell in the island.

5) If you are wondering where Sawyer learned his conning ways, he got it all from Locke's father. They're both from Tallahasee.

6) The timeline of the show currently is a few weeks before the tsunami disaster in the South Pacific a few years back. The island is supposedly in the region of the globe (unless it moves). The producers have shown they try to keep up with other events in the world (remember Ben showing Jack the Red Sox won the World Series?). So a tidal wave may be a-coming soon (maybe season final???).

7) I'm still bothered by Eko's last episode. Was he evil along and just conning everyone around? Did he relapse? I just don't get it.

8) Those on the island that have committed some kind of con, past or present:
A) Sawyer - duh
B) Kate - how many different name does she have?
C) Hurley - way to take control of Sawyer
D) Sun - the whole learning Engish thing
E) Sayid - pretending not to be Iraqi at that restaurant
F) Eko - or should that be Father Eko?
G) Ana Lucia - the whole playing "Sarah" the bodyguard thing
H) Michael - took Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley to the Others
I) The Others - it's like the island was full of con men and women already

9) Those who have appeared on the show (and maybe on the island) that have committed some kind of con:
A) Locke's father - total d-bag
B) Jack and Claire's father - does he have any other babies?

10) So are there more cons on the way? Is the whole show a con? Well, in a way it is. It's not reality. So television programming is a form of a con. Even reality TV is a con. Yeah...deep!
