LOST: Hurley Sees Dead People
TV May 2nd. 2008, 10:05am
Ms. Lilly, if you’re nasty. (A quick word on the Office - it’s just one blogger’s opinion, but we’re ready to proclaim Dwight Shrute as the funniest comedic TV character of this generation. Last night, for no reason in particular - flipping the Xterra? Maybe - he surpassed George Costanza for top honors. It may, however, have to do with devouring the first four seasons on DVD in a span of a few weeks. What is it about pasty white men with glasses?) Have you stopped leering at Evangeline Lilly’s legs yet? Musings and SPOILERS after the jump.
The EW recap isn’t up yet, (EDIT: NOW, IT IS) and we’re not waiting, but in the meantime, get lost in the EW guy’s mailbag. And the screengrab above is from the awesome Lost Easter Eggs site.
The writers are so damn crafty: Hurley’s in a mental institution and says, ‘WE’RE ALL DEAD.’ Ordinarily, if some nut in the looney bin says something like that, you brush it of. But since this is the show where you can’t rule anything out … why couldn’t they all be dead? As Hurley said - everything is (well, was) perfect, Jack is seeing dead people, Claire is seeing dead people, dead people (Charlie) are appearing, and there are probably a thousand other reasons, but those are the only ones we jotted down during the episode.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Jin dies in whatever battle takes places in the season finale. And Jin is a bad-ass, so that sucks.
What the hell is Kate’s promise to Sawyer? She couldn’t have been talking to him on the phone, could she? Eventually, there’s going to be one helluva reveal, and everyone will probably crap themselves while trembling on the couch. Or more likely, run to the internet AND BLOG ABOUT IT!

I’ll say it now. They’re not dead.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:07 am
I’m pretty sure Kate was checking in on Sawyer’s daughter.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:08 am
They’re definitely not dead. By no means do I understand exactly what’s going on… but I did happen to notice that Jack didn’t have a scar on his stomach when they showed him at the beginning. And that is supposedly a flash forward, right? Fuck… what’s going on.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:08 am
They are definitely not dead, although claire might be, Doc JEnsen’s theory makes sense. http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20197443,00.html
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:08 am
Dwight flipped the Xterra because Andy took his girl Angela.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 am
ASU cheerleaders, man humping an octopus and now a glimpse of Kate’s panties…TBL might as well retire now since I can’t imagine a day getting better than this one
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:10 am
Wow that’s a nice panty pic.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:11 am
That picture could be two octopi mating for all I can tell? I’ll assume hot chick and make up my own happy ending.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 am
So the woman co-worker of Jack’s who keeps sneaking up on him in important moments has to be working for the bad guys right? She keeps him from talking to his dad, and just signs him a prescription like that. I smell some crap.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 am
Dwight makes The Office.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
I thought the one thing the producers did admit was that they’re not dead and it’s not a dream
If they reveal nothing else during the rest of the series I want to know what the deal with Aaron is…are we talking about another Damien here or what?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
This fucking EW guy is pissing me off. He totally knows more than he’s leading on. There’s simply no way he could churn this shit out after watching it last night.
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20197443,00.html
And this Alice in Wonderland stuff? I dont know … i think i might be disappointed if he’s right (and since he hangs with the directors, he may be onto something).
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 am
three straight NSFW pics lol
gotta love Fridays
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 am
Dwight’s disaster organizational chart was hilarious.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:16 am
TBL, I thought Dwight flipped the car to get back at that guy for dating his ex.
\Just started really following The Office a few weeks ago so don’t know all of the names
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:17 am
@Butters, I agree that actor they chose for Aaron is creepy looking, defnitely Damianesque. I think that Aaron is they key and there are 2 forces at work, those that need her to raise Aaron like the fortune teller from season 1 and those that don’t want her too, her Dad who lead her to abandon him which is most likely how Kate got him. Who works for who is the question and why?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:17 am
@TBL: Honesly! I’m down for everyone’s take on the episode, their theories and stuff but c’mon. No way he pulled that from thin air.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:19 am
I can’t wait til Walt makes another appearance and starts walking on water. He’s “special” right? So he must start to play an important role soon. And it looks like we meet Jacob next week? Oh boy.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:19 am
The best part of last night was the beginning of Jack’s breakdown, which we know gets terrible from the season 3 finale. I am psyched, and Hurley is F’d up.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:19 am
I think TBL meant that last night, for no particular reason (maybe the flipping of the Xtera) Dwight Schrute surpassed George Costanza as TBL favorite character of all time. Or at least that’s how I interpretted that sentence.
Since we are on the topic of The Office: Anyone else think Jim is either going to quit or get fired in the season finale? That little subplot (along with Ryan’s drug use) is being inserted into the plot for a reason, right? It’ll be interesting to see where those two threads are going…
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
@outofbounds…That guy, in the preview, was from the Dharma initiative. He is one of the guys that Ben killed with the gas. I don’t know if that is Jacob.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:21 am
I don’t think Doc Jensen has that much inside info, I’ve been reading his recaps since the show started and he has been way off before. Although he did have an evil Aaron theory a couple of years ago and he might be onto something.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:23 am
John Krasinski is probably thinking he can make it as a movie star. It worked out well for so many TV actors. David Caruso, for one. Stellar movie career. McLean Stevenson. This list is endless.
Oh, and here’s a LOST spoiler - in the end, the pan back and it’s an autistic kid staring at a snow globe. Suckers.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
Costanza and GOB take a dump on Schrute, although I do like Schrute.
Bill McNeill also has a claim. Phil Hartman was the boss.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:25 am
I read on TV Squad that they’re planning to do an Office spin off. So who knows. They speculated that Jim and Pam might be able to carry their own show…right… Too lazy to find the link
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:25 am
Ah… yeah I thought I recognized that guy a little bit, but wasn’t sure.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:27 am
but we’re ready to proclaim Dwight Shrute as the funniest comedic TV character of this generation.
Tobias Fuque would like to debate that.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:28 am
Probably the best graph from the EW piece:
The Island is punishing Jack for failing to learn the fundamental lessons it has been trying to teach him all along. The lesson? Let go of the past; stop trying to play the hero; cultivate the capacity to trust.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:30 am
This motherfucker from EW …
What about Sawyer? If she’s dead, how is Sawyer talking to her? Who is carrying the obviously-alive baby all this way?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 am
Tobias Funke and Baby Buster and GOB…
“Uncle Gob, has Aunt Lindsey ever been pregnant?”
“Sure, dozens of times.”
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 am
TBL if EW angers you so much why are you reading it?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:33 am
Best moment on the Office last night:
Michael: “So what are we talking here, Bloods or Crips?”
Daryll: “Both. And the Latin Kings. The Warriors. Newsies.”
Fluffy Fingers, man. It’s effective.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:34 am
wow TBL. i dont think i have seen you swear like that
+1 to you sir
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:35 am
well hurley is talking to dead charlie and everyone sees dead christian shepard. i think he’s wrong though, the theory makes sense but i think he’s wrong. like i said, christian and whoever he works for seperated claire from aaron on purpose but the psychic told claire that her baby could not be raise by another and dead charlie reiterates that to hurley that jack can’t raise him. claire is alive on the island and aaron needs to get back there to be raised by her.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
@ TBL…I love the island is punishing Jack angle. Also makes me wonder, why did Ben have a tumor on his spine last season. Was the island angry at him too?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
I’m really interested in this Miles guy. Can’t wait to figure out exactly what the hell his deal is. I was really upset when Eko was killed off, but he’s taking his place nicely so far.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 am
“Those glasses make you look ugly”
/i was practically crying at The Office last night
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 am
Pittsburgh, that line was topped by the “I’m not listening to you, you look like an ugly scientist” line.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:41 am
drats and curses to that EW scribe!!!
/TBL
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:41 am
That EW writer needs to get off TBL’s lawn. NOW.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:42 am
TBL screams at cloud.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:42 am
cbh - right after he said that, he turned around and let out the sickest chuckle. it was too much for me to handle
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:43 am
That EW writer needs to get over himself, like Jack.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:44 am
i think it’s fair to say now that ben is the guy in the coffin b/c he’s the only one who can take Jack back to the island
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:45 am
The Iphone ad is driving me up a wall. TBL, your ads might drive me away from this site.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:46 am
oh well hef i see an ad for chinese women for marriage. i didnt know TBL was into mail order brides
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:47 am
Hef, i was getting the Iphone thing yesterday. Luckily its gone today, or i might not come back.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:47 am
No way that it’s Ben in the coffin. It was a poor black neighborhood. More likely it was Michael. Characters like Ben never die, which really sucks, because I’d like him and Locke to both get their’s.
Sawyer’s daughter? Did he knock up the chick he swindled? I don’t remember.
And Jin doesn’t have to be dead. Some of them chose to stay on the island.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:48 am
The last three weeks of The Office have been outrageously funny.
Please, please, please, no spinoff.
I agree with stopmikelupica: the Jim/Ryan/creepy ass Toby story line will cause someone to crash and burn at the end. Maybe it will be Toby and Ryan?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:49 am
why could it not be ben just b/c of the neighborhood. i think he’s proven he goes oout of the way to not be noticed if he doesn’t want to. he can fit in anywhere. just like marcus brody in indiana jones and the last crusade
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:50 am
Ben is my favorite character right now. I want more Ben, and was very disappointed we didn’t get any stuff with him this week. I think he just might end up being the good guy in this whole thing, and through the first 3 seasons I absolutely hated him.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:51 am
Maybe it was one of those poor neighborhoods that the hipsters are trying to gentrify. It still could’ve been Ben’s corpse. Not all white folks avoid those neighborhoods - only the ones like PurdueMatt and 412.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:54 am
Quick Office takes:
1) Dwight can be great, but last night’s effort seemed forced (except for the Xterra part). (Costanza is still miles ahead at this point.)
2) Notice how “I only got four hours of sleep” they made Jim look. Something is going to come to a head with him and Ryan by the season finale. There’s a reason he got that warning and looked so disheveled.
3) The Jim-Pam engagement thing is annoying. I’m just waiting for the cliffhanger and for Pam to reject his proposal.
4) FINALLY a REAL moment with Michael when he was one-on-one with Stanley. He can’t be so incompetent, otherwise it ruins his character. He has to show some compassion and some ability to be capable at least once every six or seven episodes.
5) More Creed. Always more Creed.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:58 am
Clown, if you don’t already have a best friend, I’d like to apply for the job. Top notch sir. Top notch.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:58 am
Also, don’t forget Mike NYC. What do you think Mike? Mike? I know you can hear us.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:00 am
ben is not the guy in the coffin, there is no way, plus screenshots of the newspaper clippings show that it does not say any character’s name that we know. Granted Ben has many aliases but Jack only knows about Ben and Henry Gale. I think the coffin guy is one of the freighter people or someone else who helped them get off the Island.
http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Newspaper_clipping
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 am
Dammit I wanted Michael to tickle Stanley so bad. BTW, my wife says that they’re pulling a Clair Huxtable with Angela. She’s always seated, she has a purse covering her stomach, mostly head shots. Is she pregnant?
Not much to say about LOST, and I don’t read EW. Any significance with Jack stepping on what looks to be the Millenium Falcon?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 am
I think that Ryan quits his job in NYC and comes back to run the other Dunder Mifflin office where Jim’s ex works (where Jim, Dwight, and Michael tried to steal their copier).
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:06 am
@jay: Yes, I believe they are. Her face is fat as shit, too.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:07 am
Dwight is no Gareth. Far from it, as a matter of fact.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:09 am
Dwight’s organization chart
Dwight is listed above Jim as “Original Assistant Regional Manager”.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:09 am
@Jay: My wife said the same thing. Women care about that stuff. Me, not so much.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:12 am
@ Jay - Yes, Angela is pregnant.
@ EF - I’m sensing Ryan’s coke habit gets noticed and he gets demoted. I hope the writers can throw a wrench into it, because it’s rather obvious that he’ll be considered a “too much too soon” case and ship him back to PA.
@ Jesus - You’re right: Dwight has far surpassed what Gareth was. If you want to toe-to-toe American and British (foolish as it is), Dwight is without a doubt the one case where American Office usurps British.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:12 am
Jesus and Nick P are BBC snobs. “Look at me! I’m so cultured and TransAtlantic television is so much better!”
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
Dwight>Gareth
but Brent>>>>>>>Michael
Imagine Brent and Dwight together… they should do just 1 episode where Brent comes to the US Office.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:17 am
If it’s supposed to be Ben in the coffin, I guarantee right now he only faked his death and he’s not really dead.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:17 am
Clown, are we new best friends or what? I’ve been waiting for like 19 minutes. You’re slower than TBL and his internship.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:17 am
@clown. Settle down, pal-o-mine. I didn’t say anything about British TV today.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:17 am
Also, GOB is way funnier than Dwight, and a week old dead armadillo in the road is funnier than anything that ever appeared on Seinfeld.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:19 am
hef, we can be besties, but first I have to sleep with your wife
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:20 am
Wouldn’t that then cancel out “besties?” I’m not willing to take that risk.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:20 am
Can commenters be banned?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:21 am
Was this only typed for shock value? Are you trying to send the internets into an uproar?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:22 am
BBC Office >>>>> NBC Office
enough said.
GOB is dangerously funny and i’m not familiar with dead armidillo. Henry Winkler’s character on AD was fucking awesome as well. Best line on the show:
Henry Winkler: “You’re not one of those hookers dressed like a women but is really a man?”
Hooker: “No, i’m all women.”
HW: “Damn!” (Drives off)
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:22 am
Just kidding, Hef. Our loathing for racist good ol boys will always be enough of a bond.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:24 am
Also, Ryan is as douchey on the Office as GOB is funny on AD
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:25 am
Yeehaww!! I mean. That sounds great.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:29 am
Lebron should have definitely earned the right to take more shots than Dajuan Wagner, Ricky D, and Darius Miles. Those dudes were like legitimately sweet, veteran presences who deserved to shoot more than some high school kid. Even though the team was a 17 win squad the prior season, they were definitely in the playoff hunt, and giving Lebron shots like totally took away from their chances to make the playoffs that year. Totally. Fer serial, guys!

May 2nd, 2008 at 11:31 am
Wrong thread, Nick. Damned tab browsing…
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:32 am
Aw damn clown. Thank you.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:36 am
Dwight kicking of the tires via the Napolean Dynamite’esque kick is a classic I will never forget.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 am
Go back to bed, nomo. We were doing fine without you. Plus we need you rested up for TBL After Dark tonight.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:40 am
@ College Hoops Journal - I agree, Ryan being demoted into that role (I hope) is more likely. I think it would make more sense than to give Jim & Pam their own spin-off. You know Michael will compete against the other branch and do more roadtrips.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:44 am
I have a theory on Lost - the only people who enjoy over-analyzing the new episodes are those who got into the show by watching the DVDs and have only watched the show weekly on TV in the past two seasons.
I started watching Lost the day it premiered…. At this point, I can’t wait for it to be over so I can finally get some closure. All of this shit with the Alice in Wonderland theme, people being magically healed on the island, the dead truly being alive, blah blah blah, I’m totally over it.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:46 am
Jokes on you, Hef. Still in bed. That’s right… 11:46am EDT
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:47 am
I wish I were unemployed.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:48 am
Or am I filthy rich? [cough]sportsgal[/cough]
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 am
haha
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:49 am
@nomo - move to Chicago, then we can talk.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:50 am
Yeah, I’d never date anything from Ohio either.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 am
Andy’sDwight’s Xterra is for sale.Sportsgal is rich?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 am
I’m pulling a sort of Peter Gibbons meets Cameron from Ferris Bueller laying in bed kinda thing. The pills and Johnny Walker, Hef. Making me so sleeepy. Just want to sleeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:53 am
Man did I ever set up that for a killer spike.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 am
I love pills and booze. I’m like Jack that way. My wife even gave me a look when Jack started mixing the pills with booze. It was a knowing look.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:56 am
Nomo, what was with all the gay stuff last night? I’m all “live and let live” or whatever - I just thought you were really flaming it up last night.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:57 am
@sportsgal - you may be on to something. I fall in the camp who caught up on ‘Lost’ via DVD and have only watched week to week the past two seasons. I am way more into the show than my friends who have watched since the start.
Also, wasn’t the Dharma guy in the preview the guy who hooked Ben’s dad up with the job on the island?
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Yeah, clown, nomo’s pretty gay. Now let’s plan our best friend weekend.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
**Spoiler Alert**according to the deadspin guy in NYMag article, Toby gets canned in the finale.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Well to each their own. I mean, sure, Jesus, Me, could be wrong about Gareth being a superior character than Dwight. Not likely, but possible. And then the universe We built would collapse on all of you and then Who’d be having the last laught? Hint: not you.
But then again, that’s supposedly the beauty of free will. I guess. If you think Dwight is funny and he makes you laugh, great. Just not Me.
The original BBC Office was simply brilliant. What Merchant and Gervais did with and in that series is and was utterly incapable of being matched by anything (see Extras, though Extras is pretty good, too).
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Why ban someone when they’re right?
My take on Aaron, and do with it what you will; he was born on the island, so he absorbed/was given/inherited whatever powers the island has. And with the time-space continuum thingie going on with the island, that’s why he looks older than he should be; he’s aging at a faster rate than those who weren’t born there.
Oh, btw… Ms. Lilly was rocking the hawtness last night. Not only that panty shot, but that “come eff me” outfit she was wearing when Jack caught her on the phone.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:35 pm
kate on the island is much hotter than kate in the house. when they camera flashed to her face close up before jack picked her up, she looked very similar to a horse. i actually cringed a little on my couch.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Looks to me like we need to separate LOST and The Office into 2 posts.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:40 pm
holy cow 102 posts?
can’t wait to read this later.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I wonder if the “ghosts” of Charlie and Hurley are shooting up heroin together in the future…
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
That little hobbit that played Charlie got Evangeline Lilly to leave her husband and shack up with him. That’s the most mind blowing aspect of Lost to me.
Time travel, smoke monsters, Hurley still fatter than shit after being marooned on an island for 100 days - I’m cool with all that. Kate fucking Charlie? Too far fetched.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Any significance with Jack stepping on what looks to be the Millenium Falcon?
How about Aaron being raised by his uncle(Jack) and Luke Skywalker being raised by his uncle.
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:32 pm
nice onterrio!
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Where do you buy a Swan Station beeping smoke detector? Smoke detector
beeps and Jack’s dad shows up. visions are smoke monster related, got it…
