1x09 Solitary

The little exchange between Michael and Walt: "I'm bored." "You've got to find a way to entertain yourself." it's kindof funny. a normal parent-kid problem/moment in the middle of all the island craziness.

Also I think Hurley's idea is really good. not just recreation-wise, but physically too. so people don't kill themselves with stress and paranoia. or less so. maybe the tailies needed a hurley.

And suddenly it's all either the monster or it's fake (in Kelvin's case)... It seems like a dropped idea, just like the Others suddenly turning out to be faking the primitive appearance--for no reason.

I think the hazard suit's from the incident. but then it was all faked I guess to keep Desmond under control? and the vaccine and pregnancy problems? the Dharma people didn't have a problem giving birth on the island with babies conceived on the island. so maybe that's an Other thing post-incident. but claire and sun were ok...

maybe the Others fake primitiveness to amp up their mystique, which is only needed around outsiders. although, living in the jungle, you'd think being all primitive would be easier....

I like Nadia and Danielle. They're extraordinarily strong.

also, seeing Hurley and Charlie makes me sad for Hurley in the future, losing his buddy.

I've been listening and relistening to the music played by Danielle's music box (Intermezza from the opera Carmen) and the melody from the Dharma orientation videos. There's something about the notes that seems harmonious. Is anyone else willing to give this a listen and tell me what you think?
