Season 3 Episode 10

Season 3 Episode 10 Tricia Tanaka is Dead

And is she ever... if you had to pick a sweet way to go out it's hard to top being hit by an asteroid.

Our flashback this week is of good old Hugo. It starts when he's a boy in California where he is working on a car with the license plate 429 PCE. And to continue with the theme of being cool Hurley's dad is friggin Cheech from Cheech and Chong.

After winning the money Hurley buys Mr. Clucks. There we see his old boss Randy. And we know from previous flashbacks that Hurley owns a box company that Locke works at. And who is Locke's boss at this company... bravo for those who have been paying attention... Randy is Locke's boss and he's the one who tells Locke how stupid it is for someone in a wheelchair to go to Australia for a "walkabout".

Hurley tells Tanaka about his string of bad luck. The one thing he mentions that we didn't hear before was that his friend Johnny runs off with his girlfriend Starla. Johnny would be his buddy who worked at Mr Clucks with him (played by DJ Qualls) and Starla is the girl who worked at the music store.

The whole flashback ends with Hurley still being pissed at his dad and heading off for Australia.

Back on the Island Hurley finds himself a nice little V-Dub minibus. The keys have a lucky rabbit's foot on it. Not so lucky for Roger the work man who was driving.

And what's up with Kate... she got a piece of Sawyer and now she's all in love ... friggin girls eh.

As for the recycling in the van, my thought is this thing might run on compost or something. If not Hugo's gonna need to find an Esso. In the back with the beer Sawyer finds a map which he figures means the Others were building some type of road system.

Like all good German cars (eh Perry?) even after sitting for who knows how long in the jungle, the old girl fires right up.

Of course the highlight of the night as usual is Sawyer's wicked quotes, so here goes:
He calls Charlie both munchkin and Jiminy Cricket (just a matter of time before he calls him Hobbit)
To Jin "Well... Somebody is hooked on phonics"
"Skeletor seems to like it" {that one is my fav cause He-Man rules}
He calls Hugo Snuffy (as in Sunfalupagus) as well as Jumbo Tron... but Hurley fires back with "RED... NECK... MAN".

Old Jin gives Sun a white flower at the end of the episode. You may recall when Sun was going to leave Jin at the airport he gave her the white flower and she decided to get on the plane with him.

Sayid, Locke, and Clingy Kate find Rousseau and tell her what we already know, Alex is alive and kicking... and off they go to find the Others

NEXT WEEK
ENTER 77 - Sayid flashback
Seems that the fab 4 (Kate,Rousseau, Sayid, Locke) stumble upon "eye patch" guys home. Looks a lot like a farm. And he is dressed a lot like Roger work man.

See ya next week ... "I'll be here when you come back"
