1:00 Yeah, I think Locke and Eko were talking about the "smoke monster". I don't really think it's a "huge reveal" though, because it was clear from the outset that he liked what he saw the first time, and I think basically interpreted it as the spirit of the island itself talking to him. Whereas Eko seemed more wary.
Probably the funniest episode of Lost in the entire run. Just a really fun time. So many great lines and moments between Hurley, Jin and Sawyer.... First half of S3 was so stressful, it's nice to have this one to relax to a bit, before it all ramps up again... 😂
It was nice seeing Hurley buying the Chicken Shack where he once worked. It was also nice to see that he employed his old boss, Randy Nations. But Randy was also John Locke's boss too around the very same time period (2004). Remember that this wasn't that far from when Hurley and John Locke both went to Australia. My guess is that after Randy lost his job at the Chicken Shack, he began working at Locke's Box company (which was really Hurley's company), and with an apparent promotion to manager too.
Lexie, Locke saw the inscription on Eko's stick that read "Lift up your eyes and look North". Locke now believes they will find The Others if the head North.
🤨 That doesn't make any sense though. The monster is ALWAYS Black Smoke, when we hear those noises. We know that. There never was a bright light monster. I wouldn't confuse Lexi any more than necessary.
A great episode...like others have noted, a nice respite between more serious things. Like a last bit of joy. The use of Shambala, and the way it blends into an orchestral arrangement is beautiful.
One of the best! Also, the song is Three Dog Night's version of "Shambala" - it's playing in the opening scene, and then happens to be the song cued up in the bus. It's wonderfully joyful song about hope and possibility.
So for the monster sighting you talk about at the beginning, I always felt like it was the same creature, but how it's viewed changes with your actions and views. Keep in mind Locke has gone up and down a lot on this island.. he keeps going back and forth between basically being 'the messiah of the island' to loosing faith, and back again. He constantly talks about the island like it's a living being, almost a deity to him. When he's 'one with the island', and on the right frame of mind, he sees something different than when he's having a crisis of faith. When the monster scares him at the end of season 1, and tries dragging him away, he's worried not about IT, but about what it MEANS. he's worried it means he's not special/chosen anymore. Then when it tries dragging him away, he tells them to let him go- he wants to prove to the island/monster that he's accepting his fate. And when they 'save' him, he tells Jack it wasn't going to kill him.
My theory would be, that Locke saw the memory flashes within the monster and thought that was beautiful. Eko's memories, would've certainly been darker.
Very memorable episode -- the van scene in particular. So memorable that recently I saw a video with Jorge Garcia "reacting" (rewatching) scenes from the series in celebration of the 20th anniversary, and about two thirds of it was from this episode. (The rest was from the finale, so I won't link it 😅)
A feel good episode. Hurley+Charlie+Sawyer+Jin+Vincent = Best Team of Lost Every. Without forgetting Roger who brought the beer. 😉 It's fun to see Charlie sit on the Shotgun seat. Because, in France, it is called "la place du mort" (the place of the dead man), and since, according to Desmond, Charlie must die ... 😁
Seeing Jin again after he was not seen for 6 whole episodes! Coincidentally, I've been binge watching E.R. and in season 10 (circa 2003), actor Daniel Dae Kim appears as an English speaking Social Worker in a Chicago hospital. Actor, John Terry (Jack's dad) also appeared in this series, as did Elizabeth Mitchell whose characters all worked at the same hospital. Ironically no Matthew Fox.
On your speculation/question in the beginning? If Locke saw a different monster or something else? I honestly don't know. I've watched this show, all the way through, three times. I've also watched full reactions to it. I never put that together and I never noticed anyone else comment on it. I have no trouble believing it though. Good catch!
13:30 😂😂 Now, I've recently broken things off with the God of Christ over political reasons... So, I'm not offended by that suggestion. To be honest, I would have NEVER been offended... I was more of a secular Christian. But, your implication there is just... Well, outrageous! Outrageously funny that is. 😄😆😂🤣
The VW Van is interesting as it does not have a typical VW logo, but rather a Dharma logo. The apparent driver, "Roger" is wearing Dharma coveralls but with the station specific Swan station logo. The beer is also specific to the Swan station implying that perhaps Roger was making a beer delivery to the Swan station. Curious as there are no apparent roads near the Swan station (nor anywhere else seen on the Island so far). But a Dharma map in the van does show roads. The song, Shambala covered by Three Dog Night implied that the Driver was a fan of that 70's era music. Perhaps music from his teen years. He was also a fan of 8 track tapes too despite that technology going obsolete by the 1990s. The VW van is also from the early 1970s (type Ta2), and is an earlier one than the one used by Drive Shaft (Type T3). The Type 2 van was the same type and color used by the Libyan terrorists in the Back to the Future film. The 70s era van and 8 track tape is consistent with the 70s era Swan computer.
My dad was watching"Lost"for the 1st time a few weeks ago(I think...I already forgot how much time has passed!^^;)and one day I went to him and we watched a few episodes together...this was the 1st of those episodes and I know that because I'm suddenly having fresh memories of what I'm seeing in these reactions.😅
I'll say this about Hurley's dad, David: He came back because Carmen asked him too, for Hugo's sake and her own. And he really does love his son, and cares for him. He's not back for the money, he's back for the family. I just wish we knew why he left. I believe it's because he and Carmen just fell out of love, OR he had a mid-life crisis.
Phew! I think you just watched the worst episode of the series! Seriously, this episode doesn't add anything to the storyline at all, it doesn't even add a few weird things ! The only point of this episode is Hurley threatening everyone's lives by driving like a maniac in a minibus and I really don't like he did that !
@@joselopezforque8745 I definitely disagree with you on that.. But that's funny because I, I explained why that episode was the worst one while you, you hide behind the spoiler pretext (for that episode and the 2x12) to affirm telling something without having to develop... So excuse me but your statement worth 0, because it is easy to tell something without any development... As easy as it is to like your own comment 😉😄👍 But I thing you mean something different to what I mean when you use the word "worst"... When I use that word, it is not because that episode is too dark, too painful, or anything like this... It is just because it is empty... You find that episode fun, I wonder what exactly you find fun in that episode... The fact Hurley risked the lives of his friends ? Not very funny, in my opinion... But if you do find that funny, I am glad not being on this island with you and be your friend, I don't want to finish like Roger Worman 😂 The Meteor ? Maybe a little too much, don't you think so ? The departure of the father of Hurley (it was definitely not funny at all)... That episode did not anything of the story and the lore of Lost... The only one thing related to a future episode wasn't even necessary to make an episode around that... We would perfectly understand the future episode without that one

Not only that quote but it's written "John: 3:05" .
You're right, in Locke and Eko's conversation he was referring to the monster

Your right about John and the monster! Most of the people who don't like Lost are the ones playing on their phone and aren't really paying attention.
13:30 Jesus Christ is not a Dildo!
When you said that I was eating and nearly choked on my food laughing!🤣
The return of Randy. Another off-island connection between the characters.

Sayeed was being sarcastic about Locke andhis reading signs into everything including the inscription on the staff.
But Locke was sincere 😆
I can't put into words how much I've been anticipating you getting to this episode
A feel good episode. Hurley+Charlie+Sawyer+Jin+Vincent = Best Team of Lost Every. Without forgetting Roger who brought the beer. 😉
It's fun to see Charlie sit on the Shotgun seat. Because, in France, it is called "la place du mort" (the place of the dead man), and since, according to Desmond, Charlie must die ... 😁
I agree with you about needing a feel-good episode sometimes, and this one, by and large, is just that.
Funny where you went with the Jesus statue but no :)
Hurley's mom was covering the statue's ears so it woudn't hear when she said she had needs.
"At least buy him dinner first." 😂

Trisha Tanaka is a nod to Trisha Takanawa, from Family Guy
Wow, Hurley episode😂
You’re getting closer to the Breaking Bad status stretch of episodes. 😎
since you asked 🤔 when people see the "smoke monster" not everybody sees the same thing, they only see what it wants them to see
how about not saying stuff like this?
Or maybe they see what THEY want to.
