Like I've said, there is such a thing as too much Hurley. I don't think he's gotten all that much attention, or any more than he deserves, so I'm content. I do think the fact that he's keeping his own stash of food will make for some interesting tension between him and the survivors down the road...
Speaking of tension, this season is brimming with it. My friend described the show now as a "moral struggle, where the characters are becoming either savages or saints" (Yes, my friend's name is Socrates, by the way). This is obvious with a lot of characters... The savages? I would honestly say that Sawyer, Sayid, Jack, and Charlie are becoming the most primal in nature. On the other hand, you've got Locke, Eko, Claire, and Rose who represent the order and civilization on the island. I don't know if anyone else is picking this up, but it's definitely there.
Sayid's acceptance of his torturing is saddening. He just accepts the fact that he is a monster and can't take his actions back... All because of Kate's father. That, to me, was an interesting turn which I'm looking foward to seeing as Season 2 continues.
Henry Gale is a very interesting addition to the cast. Is he an Other or is he just an 'other'? As Locke points out, after all, he's an other in at least one respect... Personally, I don't really think that he's an Other, but we'll definitely see. If he is, this doesn't bode well for the 815 survivors. They have breached the agreement that Jack and Zeke reached. Hmmm...
The timer was interesting... Perhaps the Egyptian symbols were all of the symbols that are represented by the Dharma initiative... I didn't pay that close attention to the symbols other than they were there so I'm not really sure how much support there is for that theory... It's a possibility. I don't know what this means, really... I don't think anything is going to happen, I just thought it was a way to keep everyone guessing about the timer and what it might do when it finishes whatever it does when it hits 0. I believe we'll be left with the timer going off at the end of season 2. We'll see.
Now, next week should be interesting... From the schedule that I checked up on, there is a new episode next week, March 1st. It'll follow Claire. I can't wait.
