Funny lines and interesting or annoying plot points of the week:
Lost: We learn that...
+ ...in the future Hugo is haunted by Charlie's spirit, who keeps telling him he has to return to the island to save the people he left behind, so he decides to admit himself into a psych ward.
+ ...the detective that's interested in Hugo's bizarre behavior (frantically running from a convenience store and leading a car chase for no apparent reason) was Anna Lucia's (Michelle Rodriguez) partner.
+ ...Hugo has visions of water breaking through glass with a man floating behind it, as though he was reliving Charlie's death...which is probably unlikely.
+ ...Hugo has some connection to the shack in the woods and the invisible leader Jacob, who Ben answers to and only John can communicate with.
+ ...there's a chance that the figure in the chair that is supposedly known as Jacob is actually Jack's father, which is hard to believe since Ben's supposedly been following his orders since before the man was dead.
+ ...the shack can appear before you whenever and wherever it wants in the woods.
+ ...Hugo was the one who originally begged Jack to go back, because he thinks that the island is calling them. Jack needs to drink alcohol in the morning just to cope and he's officially appointed himself the one to make sure none of the Oceanic 6 (so far Kate, Hugo, and Jack) spill the beans about their "adventure."
+ ...Hugo, Claire, and Sawyer decide to stay on the island with John, while Jack, Juliet, Kate, Sayeed, Sun, and Jin decide to go get rescued on the beach even though they received Charlie's warning that the freight people aren't who they say they are.
+ ...Hugo regrets going with John.
+ ...there are people looking for the other survivors left behind, wanting to know if they are still alive. A man named Matthew Abaddon approached Hugo in the insane asylum, asking him questions. And according to EW.com's TV Watch, Matthew means ''gift of the Lord'' and Abaddon means ''the angel of the abyss." That doesn't sound good.
+ ...Jack was nuts before he left the island, because when that parachute girl Naomi got stabbed in the back, he didn't even thoroughly check if she was alive. The old Jack wouldn't have been selfish like that. Not to mention, the old Jack probably would've hesitated to shoot John for blowing up the get-away submarine, but the new nutty Jack seemed truly disappointed that there were no bullets in John's gun.
+ ...next week we meet the "rescuers."
One Tree Hill
I liked this episode. It filled in a lot of gaps. In it, we learn that...
+ ...Nathan, Haley, and Lucas went to the same small town college.
+ ...Nathan was trying to refurbish his street cred during freshman year of college after shaving points senior year of high school.
+ ...Nathan showed signs of being a hot-head before he was about to go pro, when some nobody taunted him.
+ ...Lucas lived with them to help out with their son, so Haley could get her grades up.
+ ...Lucas felt envious of their happy family and wanted the same thing with Peyton.
+ ...Peyton went to L.A. and worked in the mail room of a record label that demanded her attention almost 24/7, which left no time for a relationship with Lucas.
+ ...Whitey retired from working at the college to hand the position over to Lucas, the assistant coach, his freshman year in the last game of the season--making Lucas the only student to have ever coached the college's basketball team on his own.
+ ...After Lucas won the championship game, he decided it was time to propose to Peyton, which means that that ring we saw him fiddling with was Peyton's not Lindsey's. So obviously Peyton said no, because she didn't want to move back to Tree Hill and she didn't want him to give up his job. They broke up.
+ ...Just when Lucas was about to board the plane back to Tree Hill after getting his heart crushed, he got a phone call from Lindsey asking him to come to New York so they can talk about a book deal. She endeavors to change the title and tweak the text a bit. He's not too over ecstatic, but he is psyched.
+ ...Lucas meets up with Brooke and they both commiserate on how people in their respective industries are always trying to edit them out of their own visions. Brooke bitches about her mom trying to expand her clothing company into what it is today, adding a magazine and a couture line.
+ ...Lucas tells her that he broke up with Peyton after he proposed, which prompted Brooke to say, "You went to L.A. and pulled a Naley (Nathan + Haley) on her?" How very Hollywood of her to say? Later on, Lucas is so wasted that he kisses Brooke, which drudges up some emotions for her.
+ ...That night they promised each other and themselves that they were going to put their love lives on hold and work on their professional lives so that when it came time to fall in love they'd have at least half of their lives set.
+ ...In the present, Lucas is still in love with Peyton.
FNL: We learn that...
+ ...Riggins apparently, always skip school on Wednesdays to go drink at a place where Lyla and her new religious boyfriend eat lunch. Super pathetic.
+ ...Riggins' behavior is contagious and he is a bad influence. He took Matty drinking in the middle of a school day. Then he had the audacity to judge him. Griping, "Do you want a funnel?"
+ ...Matt apparently sees Riggins as a role model, telling him "I want to be more like you..even keeled..." He wanted to be able to go through the day feeling indifferent so he wouldn't feel sad anymore. But then Riggins proved that wasn't true when he went to disrupt Lyla's lunch and lightly taunt her new bf. It was hilarious when he left with Matt and Matt felt the need to yell back to them, "Shalom." They're not Jewish Matt.
+ ...Landry was concerned about Matt's binging and even Smash tried to weigh in during lunch. After Matt bailed because he was hungover and Landry talks too much, Smash couldn't stand being near Landry...which was hilarious.
+ ...Riggins took him to a strip club where the strippers are mean to old men and prefer clients who don't require Viagra. Their words, not mine.
+ ...Matt was so drunk after that that even his grandmother, who was rushed to the hospital for bumping her head (she's fine), knew he was in trouble.
+ ...it seemed like Matt was heartbroken over being abandoned by Carlotta, when in actuality he was just sick and tired of being abandoned by everyone. It was the most heartbreaking thing to watch when coach threw him in his shower to sober him up and Matt refused to comply, screaming: "You don't care about me! You left me for a better job, your daughter left me for another guy, Carlotta left me for Guatemala, and my dad left me for war! What is wrong with me?" Awww, nothing.
+ ...even though poor Matt was the attention-getter of the episode, Smash was also being torn up inside by TMU's decision to reneg on their deal to give him a full football scholarship. He was so worried that he went to the coach for help, but alas there's nothing he can do.
+ ...even though Smash has a huge ego, he cares more about the team than he does about himself. He pumped them up before the first of three games they'd have to play without him and told them that as long as they make it to the playoffs, he'll be able to play with them again. He made them feel confident, which is what a captain does. But once he was all alone in that big empty locker room, my heart was broken for a second time when he crumbled into tears. I hope somebody realizes that this whole charge is bullshit and he should be allowed to go to TMU.
+ ...next week is the last episode they've shot because of the strike...which will hopefully be over by the end of the week.
